I'm going to skip a few months cuz this could go on forever. Chandler moved in with Monica and Rachel moved into Chandler's old room and I don't care if this is all going too fast cuz it's my world!!! Bwahahaha I have the power to do that!!! I also have the power to kill off whoever I want, but I'm not gonna cuz then it'd be sad. :*( but I could if I wanted to so there, ha! *clears throat* Moving right along…. Monica's about 6 months pregnant now….Ok, on with it~
"Hey could you hand me a paintbrush?" Chandler asked Ross. They decided to paint Rachel's old room and turn it into a nursery as a surprise for Monica. They decided not to find out if it was a girl or a boy, so they decorated it so it could be for either. Rachel helped them since they had no clue what to do to make it look cute.
"Hey, do you guys wanna take a break and go have coffee, the smell of this paint is kind of getting to me," Joey said.
"Yeah, sure," Chandler said, "I'll clean up a little and meet you guys down there."
"Ok, bye," Joey and Ross said waling out of the room.
Chandler looked around and it finally hit him. "Oh my God," he said, "I'm gonna be a father. Oh, need to sit down," he said to himself sitting down in the rocking chair they had got. "Oh, God, I can't do this. But I have to. I just need to get out of here and talk to Ross and Joey."
Chandler walked out of the room as Rachel walked into the apartment. "Aren't you supposed to be shopping with Monica or something so she doesn't come home till we're done?"
"No, Phoebe is, I had to work today. Are you OK?" she asked seeing his worried look.
"I don't know," Chandler said sitting down on the couch, "I don't know. It just kinda hit me while we were painting, that I'm gonna be a dad. I can't be a dad. I don't know how to be a dad. I never even really had a dad."
"Chandler, you'll be fine," she said sitting next to him. "Seriously, You are like the sweetest guy I know, you're gonna make a great dad."
"But how do you know that? I mean, I babysat for Ben once and me and Joey left him on a bus. How do you know that I'm not gonna screw up?"
"Well, for one, you have Monica, and she's, well, Monica," Rachel said, "and you've grown up since you and Joey lost Ben. You're not gonna screw up."
"Thanks, Rach," Chandler sai, "Maybe you're right."
"And hey, if you do screw up a little, so what. Who isn't just a little screwed up, and if they couldn't blame it on their parents who could they blame it on?"
"Very true," Chandler said laughing, "Well, I was gonna go have coffee with Joey and Ross, want to come?"
"Sure," Rachel said, "I'll be right down."

"Hey, honey," Chandler said as Monica and Phoebe walked in.
"Hi sweety," Phoebe said.
"And hi to you too, Mon," he said walking over and taking her bags from her, "you shouldn't carry anything heavy."
"They're not," Monica said, not sure if she found him sweet still or annoying.
"oh, hey, I have something to show you," Chandler said, "Close your eyes and don't peek," he said and lead her over to Rachel's old room after she closed her eyes. "Ok, open them."
"Oh my god, you guys," Monica said looking around. Ross, Joey and Rachel were standing inside of the finished nursery.(Ok, I have no clue how to make this look, so imagine it however floats your boat, err, I hate that saying, one of my friends got me in the habit of saying it.) "Thank you guys sooo much, it's great," she said kissing Chandler before hugging everyone else.
"There's somethings we still need to get," Chandler said, "but we got some furniture and stuff. And Rachel helped us pick out the wall paper and stuff cuz, well, three guys aren't the best decorators."
"Well, it's perfect," she said kissing him again. The started getting a little too into the kiss then they should with four other people in the room.
"I so don't need to see that," Ross said walking out of the room as they kept kissing.
"Ya know what? I don't really need to see that either," Rachel said leaving.
"I don't mind seeing it," Joey said and Phoebe hit him in the back of the head.
"We get the point," Phoebe said leaving and pulling Joey with her, "we'll leave."
"Now that we're alone, I'd pick you up and carry you to our room, but…"
"Yeah," monica said laughing, "C'mon," she said playing with the collar of his shirt and pulling him toward their room.
~*~*~*~*~
"I really don't wanna be here," Monica said. They were at her mom's birthday party.
"I know, I feel like 20 years too young to be here," Chandler said.
"I doubt anyone would notice if we left now," she said. They were standing in the corner of the room and no one had really noticed that they were there. "Oh God, no," Monica said turing around.
"What?"
"Richard's coming over here."
"And turning around made you disappear, now he's not coming over here," Chandler said sarcastically.
"Really?"
"No."
"Hey Monica," Richard said walking up to them. "I haven't seen you for a long time. Wow, your parents didn't tell me you were pregnant."
"Yeah, well…" Monica couldn't think of anything else to say.
"You didn't get married without telling me too, did you?"
"No," Monica said.
"So then who are you with?"
Chandler cleared his throat and stepped forward, "Hi."
"You and Chandler?"
"That's what the clearing my throat ans saying 'hi' was saying," Chandler said, "and makes sense considering that I'm the one here with her."
"Oh, I just figured, never mind," Richard said.
"You just figured what?" Monica asked.
"Well," Richard said not sure why he had gone over to talk to his ex-girlfriend, "I figured that your boyfriend left when he found out you were pregnant and Chandler stepped in."
Chandler smiled, "I think that that was some how a compliment to me," he said, "so, thanks, I think."
"Yeah. It was nice seeing you again, Congratulations," he added before walking away. The truth was Richard had come to the party hoping that Monica would be there. He was still in love with her and had planned on telling her, but when he got there he'd seen that he was too late. He'd been stupid enough to let her go before, he had no right to get her back. She loved someone else. And it was someone that he really liked too. And it wasn't just anyone else, it was one of her best friends.
Chandler and Monica both stood there think about what Richard had said. Chandler was touch that someone would think that of him, his friends were kind of surprised he'd stayed when it was his kid. But it did make sense. And the more he thought about it the more he realized that it was something he probably would have done.
Monica thougt Richard was right, that Chandler would have stepped in in that situation. All of her friends would have been supportive, but she could see Chandler being the one that got way too overprotective of her and him being the one there when the baby was born,
"Still wanna leave?" Chandler asked and Monica nodded. "Well, someone just said something about cutting the cake, we can leave after that."
"OK," she said taking his hand, happy that everything had worked out the way it had.
"We need to thank Mike and Jackie sometime," Chandler said, obviously thinking the same thing Monica was.
"Yeah," Monica agreed, "Hey, did you know they broke up?"
"Really? No," Chandler said, "Well, you thank her, I'll thank him." Chandler remembered that he almost hadn't agreed to go on the blind date that night. He couldn't imagine if he hadn't. He wouldn't be with Monica now. Chandler shook the thought out of his head. 'We are together, that's all that matters,' he thought, 'and it would've happened sooner or later. It was just waiting to happen.'
