Disclaimer: I do not own these characters. Please enjoy and review. Also I got to do two parts today so I'll try to hurry with the next part.
LAST TIME
Monica just looked at Bill hoping what he said would be true. After a few moments of silence she said, "I have to go."
"I understand. Do you want me to come with you?"
"No. Don't be crazy. You've just become a dad for the 5th and 6th time. Go in there and see your kids."
Monica parked her car and headed over to the big maple tree. As she approached his grave she felt the nervous feeling in her stomach grow even bigger. She wasn't sure she could do this. Several times she had stopped and came very close to turning around.
Jan. 2001 New York City
Monica took a look around. Her apartment seemed empty. Everything was packed into boxes. She rembered all the good times she had here. She walked through every room, waiting for Pheobe to arrive. She then went out on to the balcony. She saw several people on the street. She then looked across at Ross's apartment. She knew that he didn't' live their anymore, her mother had told her that. She felt horrible that she had lost contact with him. She wished she could make amends with him, but that was useless.
Buzz. Buzz. Monica came in to answer the buzzer.
"Hello?"
"Hey Monica we're here."
"Okay I'll buzz you up."
Monica returned to looking gout the window. Pheobe entered with Bill and Ted behind her.
"Hey honey."
Monica smiled and turned around, "hey Pheobe."
They hugged.
"Well I'm sure you remember Bill."
"Yes hello Bill. How are you?"
"Good, how you are you doing?"
"Well I'm okay."
"And this is Murad, Bill's friend. Murad this is Monica."
"Nice to meet you Monica," he smiled warmly at her.
"Nice to meet you too."
"Okay well we better get this into the cars. We'll fill mine up first and then Ted's."
"Sounds like a plan."
PRESENT DAY
As she stood by his grave, she could feel the tears coming down. She rembered the first time he smiled at her. The first time they met. She thought he was cute, just like her old friends, but that nothing would happen. They always joked around. They never called each other by their first names it was always Geller and Murad. IT started because everyone called Ted, Murad so it just stuck. She never thought that they would be a couple. She thought to her self, "Boy was I wrong."
March 2001 Mardi Gras
"Hey where's my other half?"
"I'm coming Ted."
"Looking good Geller. I think you'll be going home with someone tonight."
"Ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny Murad. Too bad it won't be you."
"Ouch," pointing to his heart, "that hurt right here.
Monica laughed at him. Pheobe and Bill entered all dressed in their costumes.
"We all ready to go?"
Later at the party, Ted spotted Monica out on the balcony. He headed over to her. He placed his hand on her back. She jumped a little.
"Oh hey, you scared me."
"Sorry. I saw you standing out here. Aren't you freezing? Here take my coat."
"No accutally I think I drank a little too much. I'm pretty hot."
"Ahhh I see. Alcohol went right through you, you little lush you."
"I'd watch Murad."
"Oh ya?"
"Yes. I can be very mean when I have to be."
Ted laughed at this, "right I bet you could. But if I were you I wouldn't not be mean to your ride home."
"That is if I need a ride home."
"Ohhh good point."
They both laughed. The band started to play a new song.
"Hey wanna dance?"
"I don't know, think you can keep up with me Geller?"
"Oh I'm pretty sure I can keep up with you. Are you sure you can keep up with me?" she asked walking onto the dance floor.
"I don't' know but I'm hell as going to give it a try," he said to himself.
It was a old 50s song by Bobby Darin, Somewhere Beyond the Sea. They danced to it, not close but as it is meant to be danced too. Then the band switched to something more slow, The Air that I Breath, by the Hollies.
Ted pulled Monica into him. He held her close to him.
"I love this song," she whispered to him.
"Really?" he whispered back.
"Ya. I don't know why."
"You know I was serious. You really do look good tonight."
"Well thank you. You look pretty good yourself."
"Well I do what I can."
She laughed at him. They continued their dance and shortly after decided it was time to leave.
It was till pretty early when they got home not quite 11:30.
Ted walked her up to her doorstep.
"Didn't I tell you, you would be going home with some guy?"
Monica laughed at him, "yes. Yes you did.
"And I'm don't look too bad tonight. I accutally have it on pretty good authority that I'm looking pretty good."
"Oh you do, do you?"
"Ya this hot looking girl, I can't remember her name. Mary or Moisha. I don't know I think it might have been something like that."
Monica was laughing at him for quite a while now.
"You are quite a piece of work Murad."
"How come you never call me Ted?" he asked getting quite serious.
Taken back by his sudden seriousness, "I'm not sure. Everyone else calls you that. I guess it just stuck."
"Oh."
"Well why do you call me Geller?"
"Well I'm not sure. No one else calls you that. I guess I just wanted to separate myself from other people."
"Oh, believe me Murad, you are in a class all by yourself."
Ted looked up into the sky. "It's a gorgoes night huh?"
Monica joined him looking up, "It sure is."
Noticing that she was shivering he put his arm around her. He started to rub his hand up and down her side warming her up. She moved closer to him to warm up.
She looked up at Ted looking at the sky. She never noticed how good looking he accutally was. Ted noticed her looking at him. He smiled at her. She smiled back. He then felt her still shivering.
"Your still cold. Let's go inside."
"No, the sky's so pretty. I'd rather stay outside."
"Okay but I'm not going to be responsible if you catch cold. Come here."
"He pulled her into a big bear hug and together they looked up and studied the sky.
"That one right there to the right, That's Orion's Belt. Do you see?"
He looked down at her. She nodded her head and looked at him. Their eyes met and something clicked right there for Monica. She finally realized that she did in fact like Ted more then a friend. He moved his hand to her face. He then leaned down and kissed her.
At first their kiss was gently but as it grew in length it grew in passion.
They broke apart and again looked at each other.
"Ted?" he liked hearing her call him that.
"Ya, Monica?"
"Do you wanna go inside? I am kind of cold."
PRESENT DAY
Monica remembered how after that night nothing was the same again. Everything was better. They were married at the end of July. It was a sort of time but it just felt right.
Monica felt it was getting late. She had talked to Ted. She had told him everything she wanted to say to him. She felt it was time to go home.
July 2001 Atlantic City
Ted had arranged to have a candle light dinner in their room. Their room had a balcony that overlooked the water. He had arranged the whole thing and had managed to surprise Monica. After they ate. He put on some music.
"Would you care to dance?" he said smiling at her.
"Well I would love to."
"Did you make this?" Monica asked him.
"Sort of. I had a client and he let me come in and make a tape."
"Quite the business man."
"Hey I get by."
They both laughed.
After a few songs, the Hollies came on. It was The Air that I Breath.
"Do you remember the first time we danced to this song?" Monica asked him
"Of course I do. That was the night we first kissed and well..."
Monica smiled at him.
The next day Ted sat on his bed flipping through the channels, as Monica was in the bathroom getting ready to go out. There was nothing on televeision. He hadn't asked her to marry him yet. He was fiddling with the ring. He was scared she would think it was too soon. That they were moving to fast. "What the hell just do it, " he thought to himself.
"Hey Mon?"
"Yea hun?"
"Can you do me a favor?"
"Sure what?"
"Marry me."
Ted heard her hairbrush fall onto the floor. She came out of the bathroom and looked at Ted.
"What did you say?"
"Marry me. You already said you'd do me a favor. So sorry your stuck with me."
"Ted?!"
"Monica," he got up off the bed and headed over to her. He took her hand into his.
"Monica you know I'm not that good at expressing my feelings, but I love you and I want to marry you. I ...I can't imagin spending the rest of my life without you. I can't see myself with anyone but you."
"Oh Ted."
"Well it's true. And besides where am I going to be able to find someone who can cook as good as you?"
Monica laughed at him.
"So will you?"
"I will."
He leaned down and kissed her.
PRESENT DAY
On the way home she realized she hadn't been to work yet today. It was just about the end of their dinner rush and she thoguth the other managers might want the rest of the night off. She also did not feel like facing her friends till morning.
After closing the resturant, Monica headed home. She came home to see Joey sleeping on the coach. Remembering Chandler's diffuclties changing the previos night she went to check up on him. He laid on the bed still clothed sound asleep. She smiled at him not even attempting to undress. She also smiled because she realized that Bill was right. Everything was going to be allright. She could tell know. Just seeing Chandler reassured that. She headed upstairs and looked in on her children. They both were sleeping as soundly as the two boys downstairs. She then finally headed to bed.
The next part the gang plays a game that brings out a lot of secrets.
