Heylo again people! I'm not gonna keep saying that I don't own the characters, so u can just assume that I don't own them. Although u should NEVER assume, cuz when u assume u make an ass outta u and me. Assume. Get it? Hahahahmmm, that was really funny when my math teacher said it last year. I know this is predictable, but I like this kind of fic and I'm the one writing it so HA!!! Sorry, ne wayz…..on with it!! Where we last left off…..
"What?" Chandler needed to sit down. "Whoa, I wasn't expecting that. Is it…" he motioned to himself.
"If I am."
"But we used a condom."
Nothing's 100%," Monica said.
Chandler sat down and put his head in his hands trying to comprehend what was happening. "See, I was prepared for you to say that it was only a one night stand. I actually had everything I was gonna say planned out…" he paused, "but now,"
Monica cut him off, "Look, if you want to pretend that night never happened, that's fine with me. I can raise this kid on my own, I seriously don't mind. No one knows about us. No one has to," she looked up at Chandler. After he didn't say anything for a few minutes, Monica spoke up, "What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking," he started, "I'm thinking, that I thought you knew me better then that," he paused again. "But if you did, you wouldn't have just said that," he walked over to Monica and took her hands looking her in the eyes and took a deep breath. "If you are pregnant, then I wanna be a part of this kid's life. And yours. Mon, I wanted to tell you that that night was amazing. And that, that I wanna be with you," he paused and she smiled, "I don't know what it is that I'm feeling for you, but I know that I can't ignore it. I thought that I could ignore it if you didn't feel the same. But I'm not sure that I could. And don't say we can go back to being just friends. Look at the last couple weeks, that's not a friendship, we aren't even speaking. Mon, I want you. I need you," he added in a whisper.
Monica looked down, not sure of what to say. She knew that he was right, that they couldn't go back to being just friends. At first that scared her, but her next thought scared her more. She realized that she didn't want to just be friends. Monica looked up with tears in her eyes and saw Chandler's eyes pleading her. "I want to be with you too," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Chandler immediately grinned and took her in his arms. They kissed deep and long, praying that no one would come in the door.
"Ross is gonna kill me," Chandler said after they pulled apart. "And how are we going to tell everyone?
"I really don't know," Monica said, "Let's just take this step by step. First step, pregnancy test."
Chandler took a deep breath. "Ok," he said and held his hand out for her to take.
"Now?"
"Might as well find out and get it over with," Chandler said as Monica took his hand, "Right?"
"Yea," she said as they walked out the door, "might as well."
~*~*~*~*~
Half and hour later, Monica and Chandler were back in his apartment alone. They'd decided to go back there because Joey was on a date so they were least likely to be interrupted. Chandler was sitting in one of the chairs with Monica in his lap. They sat there in silence, they had nothing to do but wait.
Monica picked up the pregnancy test, but she couldn't look at what it said. She had no idea what she wanted it to say. Some might say that it was win-win if she didn't care, but she was afraid Chandler would freak out and leave if she was.
She walked out of the bathroom and saw Chandler, who looked as nervous as she felt.
"So?" he asked.
"I can't look," she said with and uneasy laugh.
"Come here," he said and he wrapped his arms around her from the back and took the test. "Now we can both see it at the same time," he explained. He took a deep breath, "Ready?" he asked, but he was really giving himself more time.
He opened his hand so they could see what it said. Monica turned around to see what Chandler was thinking. They both had the same look on their faces, unsure of what they wanted. Then their eyes met and they smiled.
"Congratulations, daddy," she said before kissing him. "Aren't you gonna freak out?"
"Oh, I guarantee I will freak out. Just give it time to sink in," he said with a smile.
"How are we going to tell everyone?" Monica started to worry.
"I dunno, maybe we should get it over with soon," Chandler suggested, "Or, maybe we should run away and just call. Ross couldn't kill me if we called."
"Chandler, seriously."
"I know, sorry."
"Let's not worry about this right now," Monica said smiling suggestively.
"Don't have to ask me twice," Chandler said. Then he picked her up, causing her to gasp.
"Didn't see that coming," she said smiling.
"I didn't see a lot coming," Chandler said and carried her to his room.
~*~*~*~*~
Monica and Chandler decided to keep everything a secret for as long as they could until they found a good way to tell everyone. They spent the next 3 weeks "doing laundry" a lot and spending every minute they could get together. Everyone knew that Monica had a secret boyfriend, but no one knew who.
Joey walked into his apartment one morning at 11 after his previous night's one-night stand. When he saw that Chandler wasn't up, he wondered why, Chandler was always up by then. He decided to peek in Chandler's room to see if he was even home. He opened the door a crack and saw that there was a woman in bed with him. 'Ni-ice. I didn't even know he had a date last night. Wait. Was that Monica?' he looked back into Chandler's room, and realizing that it was Monica, gasped loudly causing Chandler's eyes to pop open.
"Don't. Freak. Out," he whispered to Joey.
"Oh my god. OH MY GOD! You an Monica? Oh my god!" he yelled waking Monica up.
"Joey!" she gasped and pulled a sheet up, covering herself up.
"Oh my god, you two?" Joey started pacing around Chandler's room, "It just makes no sense!"
"Well, at least you're not freaking out," Chandler tried to joke.
"How? Wh-when?"
"Well," Chandler shifted in bed, all of a sudden aware of being naked, " ya know that blind date I had a little over a month ago?"
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?" Joey asked.
Chandler and Monica gave Joey a second to figure out what most people would have immediately comprehended.
"Ohhhh," Joey finally got it.
"There ya are," Chandler said.
"And we've been together pretty much since," Monica finished.
"Yeah, and if you wouldn't mind leaving, we're both kind of naked," Chandler said.
"Oh! Yeah, sure, sorry," Joey said walking out, "and congratulations."
A few minutes later, Monica and Chandler came out of his room. "Joey, could you not tell anyone about us?" Chandler asked.
"Well, I guess I can keep it a secret for a little while."
"Thanks, Joe, we just don't know how to tell everyone," Monica said.
"Yeah, I understand. Ya know Ross is gonna kiss ya, man," Joey said laughing.
"Yeah, but thanks for reminding me," Chandler said. "Public display of affection, look away Joe," he said and walked over to Monica to kiss her good-bye. "Bye, babe," he whispered in her ear.
"I'll come over later," she said kissing him once more before walking out the door.
Chandler stood there, just staring at the door for a few seconds before remembering that Joey was still there. He turned around to face Joey, and seeing the weird smile on his face, asked, "What's up, Joey?"
"You are so in love with her," Joey said.
"Well, I, umm, I don't know, I mean, well, I care about her a lot, and, umm," Chandler couldn't put it into words.
"And you've suddenly become unable to form a complete sentence?"
~*~*~*~*~
"So," Rachel asked as Monica walked in, "How's your secret boyfriend?"
Monica just grinned, "Words cannot explain," was all she said.
"Well I want to meet this guy that you're so obviously crazy about. And if he's so great in bed I want to see this guy for myself. Big feet, if ya know what I mean?" Rachel trailed off. (true story, in one of my friend's health classes one year, a guy asked what it was with girls and guys having big feet. LOL, I would've loved to see the teacher's reaction)
"OK, already. SOON," Monica said and Rachel raised and eyebrow at that. "I promise."
~*~*~*~*~
For their two-month anniversary, Chandler decided to take Monica out for dinner. Or at least he was pretty sure that it was their anniversary. It was two months after they had slept together, not technically when they had gotten together, but it was when their child had been conceived, so he chose to ignore the two weeks Monica had avoided him.
Joey made sure that everyone was busy that night so that Chandler and Monica wouldn't be interrupted. "Hey," Joey said walking in as Chandler walked out of his room in a nice suit (in my best friend's words "DAMN, he looks HOT!!!" LOL, maybe u had to be there, she said it all of a sudden out of no where when we were watching friends once) "Everyone's gone over there if you want to go over now," Joey said.
"Thanks, Joe," Chandler said walking out the door.
Chandler walked into Monica's apartment holding a dozen roses, "Mon?"
"Just a sec," she yelled from her room. A few minutes later, she opened her door and Chandler's jaw almost dropped. She was wearing a knee length red dress with spaghetti straps and had her hair up in a twist. "I just have to get my shoes on and I'll be ready," she said walking over to him.
Chandler handed her the roses, "They're beautiful," she said kissing him.
"Almost as beautiful as you," he said kissing her again, "but not quit, they've got way too much competition." Monica blushed and turned around to find a vase so Chandler wouldn't see, but he did anyway,
Dinner was nice, Chandler took her to her favorite restaurant. He thought that was an advantage to knowing her for like 10 years before they ever got together. He knew everything about her, almost better then she knew herself. He could read her like a book. After dinner, they went back to Monica's.
Monica stood out on the balcony thinking before Chandler came out. She was still worried that eventually Chandler would go all, well, Chandler, and freak out about everything and leave.
"Hey gorgeous," he whispered in her ear walking up behind her.
"Hey, she said turning around to face him. She looked into his eyes and all of her worries disappeared. She hugged him and they stood there for a minute in each other's arms, just enjoying the closeness of the moment.
Chandler pulled back a little so that he could look her in the eyes. "I love you," he said for the first time.
Monica smiled, "I love you too." And then they kissed and slow danced to a song that only they could hear.
