Body TOW Chandler's shock discovery

OK I realise part one didn't explain much but I done it quickly so :P!!! Right this is part 2 if you haven't read the first part go now but if you can't be bothered then basically Carol reveals to Chandler that Ben might be his son not Ross' because of a one night stand he had with her years ago.

Part 2

Chandler was unable to sleep. The room was cold and the apartment next door was currently entertaining a guest list of, from the sounds of it, a hundred people. However normally these minor problems would not have affected his deep sleep. Chandler's fatigue was brought about from the constant thoughts that ran through his head. He couldn't shake the feeling of sickness from his stomach which Chandler could only diagnose as guilt. He had disregarded his whole friendship with Ross for a one night stand. Sure he had been drunk and Carol was upset but he knew in his heart that what he had done and, had tried to ignore for the past six years, was likely to destroy Ross. He remembered back for the first time since it had happened: that night.

~FLASHBACK~

"Hi Carol, is Ross home yet?" Chandler asked as Carol opened the door to her and Ross' home.

"No he's working at the museum late tonight. Some problem with one of the dinosaur models." Carol said rolling her eyes.

"Exciting!" Chandler joked.

"Come in Chandler. He'll be back soon."

"Sure, thanks." Chandler walked in the living room and sat down.

"Right I gotta finish off the washing up. You can watch some TV while you're waiting if you want."

"OK" Chandler grabbed the remote and flicked through the channels stopping on an old episode of "Cheers". He wasn't a fan but there seemed to be nothing else on. Carol sat next to him a while later looking tired.

"Sorry chandler I thought he'd be back by now."

Chandler felt awkward suddenly. He was aware of the marital problems his friends had been having. He felt almost like a traitor as Ross had told him everything and he wasn't sure Carol knew this. Carol had got up from her sit and returned with some beers.

"Ross should work late more." Chandler said smiling at Carol as she handed him the beer.

A couple of hours had passed by and Ross had still not showed up, Chandler felt pretty drunk. The phone rang and carol reached for it.

"That was Ross, he's gone to stay at his mum's she and her dad are fighting or something." Carol told him as she replaced the handset.

"Oh right Yeah Monica and Ross' parents are having trouble at the moment." Chandler knew this was a lie but covered for Ross regardless. He knew Ross had wanted to avoid another seemingly endless argument with Carol. Chandler was sick of hearing about their rowing but Ross was his friend and the least he could do was offer a listening ear.

"Chandler I know he's lying. He just doesn't want to come here." For the first time Chandler witnessed Carol crying. She was so strong willed and confident that the tears shocked him.

"Carol that's not true he really wants your marriage to work but its hard for him." chandler tried to comfort her but he knew from what Ross had told him that basically the marriage had ended.

"Stay here Chandler I don't want to be here alone. Ross knows I hate that. I'll make you a bed up on the couch. Please Chandler."

"OK." Chandler immediately regretted saying it. He really didn't want to stay at their home and get involved with Ross and her marriage problems but Carols pleading eyes and tone of voice left Chandler without much choice. He could never have abandoned her in this state.

BACK TO PRESENT

Chandler knew how stupid it was of him to agree to stay. Carol and him hadn't really been close, to him she was just Ross' wife. The night had drawn on and the two continued to drink pouring their heart out to the other; Chandler about his lack of relationship and Carol about Ross. chandler barely remembered what happened next. He had been to the pub before he'd gone to Ross' so by that time he knew he was very drunk and before Chandler knew it, he had done the worst thing possible: slept with his best friends wife. He felt guilty for a long time but seeked relief from the fact that their marriage was almost over any way. Although that was no real excuse for what Chandler had done, it helped him feel better. Chandler always faced a nagging feeling that Carol had slept with him as almost a test of her sexuality. He felt almost as though she was seeing if it was just Ross she was unattracted to or just all men in general. This angered him and he decided from then on to avoid her as much as possible.

A party guest raised his voice but what he said was undetectable and muffled but it was loud enough to cause Monica to stir in her sleep. Chandler looked down at her. How would she react if he told her? It wasn't like he had known Ben was his child, IF he was. But he had cheated on her brother and Chandler knew how strongly Monica felt about monogamy. Would she stay with him and side with him? chandler didn't know. He needed Monica's support and hated to lie to her. Monica opened her eyes and turned to chandler.

"Can't you sleep?" she whispered softly.

"No."

"What's the matter Chand?"

"Nothing. Just work I guess." He lied.

"OK."

She turned to him and kissed him softly shutting her eyes again. He scorned himself for lying to her, she knew he was keeping something from her. He had to tell her what t was.

"Monica, there is something the matter." She looked up at him noticing his seriousness and look of guilt and thought the worst.

"Chandler what is it? What's up?"

That's it! So how will Monica react? Is Ben Chandlers'? Part 3 will be up soon! PLEASE PLEASE please review I'd really appreciate it!
