I'm back again. 8 hours in the Denver airport waiting to get on a plane cuz I was flying stand-by, ugh. NOT a fun day. But I'm home now, so, yay! I know ur excited. I'm gonna shut up now cuz I'm really tired and will probably say something stupid if I don't. I wrote this while I was on vacation and am typing it now, so any typos are cuz I need sleep…ok…
Monica woke up in the middle of the night, at first not sure why, but feeling another contraction she realized what it was.
"Chandler," she said trying to wake him up.
"mmhmm," he answered half awake.
"Are you ready to be a daddy?"
"Not really," he mumbled into the pillow, "but I have another month."
"No you don't."
"What?" Chandler asked, more awake than before.
"The baby's coming now," Monica said.
"What? You're not due for another month," Chandler said starting to panic.
"Baby's are born a lot earlier than the eighth month, calm down."
"Aren't I supposed to say that?" Chandler said getting out of bed.
They got dressed and Chandler looked at the clock. 4:30. Too early to wake anyone else up to tell them where they were going. He scribbled a note and left it on the table in case anyone came over and wondered where they were before he had a chance to call.
~*~*~*~*~
"Breathe, breathe, breathe," Chandler said coaching Monica through a contraction.
"Shut up, you did this to me," she said through cleanched teeth
"Hey, maybe you should call someone now," Monica said a few minutes later.
"What?" Chandler said sleepily.
"Call Ross or somebody, they probably want to be here."
"Yeah, I probably should," he said and yawned, "wow, it's almost 8 already. I think that now I'm supposed to say something like 'I'd gladly trade places with you' and then you'd say something like 'yeah right, you'd kill yourself after just having morning sickness'" Chandler said and Monica looked at him weird. "What?"
"You need to watch a few less movies on Lifetime," she said.
"Yeah, I'm gonna go call Ross," he said and kissed her on the forehead, "be right back, babe."
"Ice chips?" Chandler said coming back into the room, "I called Ross and he said he'd call everyone else and that they'd be here pretty soon."
"Is my mom coming?"
"Do you want her to come?"
"Why do you answer a question with a question?"
"You just did too!"
"Yeah, but," Monica was cut off by another contraction and reached for Chandler's hand.
~*~L8R~*~
"Ok, Monica" the doctor said, "we're going to start pushing now."
"WE? This is not a joint effort," she snapped back.
"Ok, Mon, push," Chandler said. Monica pushed and squeezed Chandler's hand a little too hard. He mouthed 'owww' but decided not to say anything out loud. "C'mon, Mon, you can do it."
"Easy for you to say, you're not doing anythig," she said leaning back and breathing hard, "God, I can't do this."
"Ok, just one more big push," the doctor said.
"I can't."
"Yes you can Mon, you're the strongest person I know. One more push and we'll have our baby," Chandler said softly.
Monica pushed again and a few seconds later they heard crying.
"Congratulations Mom and Dad, it's a girl," the doctor said and Chandler kissed Monica. They handed her to Monica wrapped in a pink blanket.
"She's so tiny," she said.
"and beautiful," Chandler added, kissing the baby, "just like you," he added and kissed Monica. "I love you so much."
"I love you too."
~*~*~*~*~
Chandler sat next to the bed watching Monica and the baby in the crib next to her bed sleep. He was amazed at the fact that he could love someone so much that he just met. When he heard her cry, he walked over and picked her up.
"Hey, shh. Don't cry. You don't want to wake your mommy up do you?" he said softly, rocking her. She wrapped her hand around his finger and his smile got biggger.
Monica woke up without Chnadler realizing it. She didn't want to say anythign, she was watching Chandler. Up to that moment she had still had doubts about him, but seeing him holding their daughter and the look of pure love on his face, she let go of every doubt she had had.
"Hey, you," Monica whispered not wanting to wake up the sleeping infant.
"Hey," he said, "we need a name."
"Yeah, we never really agreed on one, we thought we had another month."
"hmmm, names," Chandler said thinking.
"Britney?"
"eh, Morgan?"
"Jessi?"
"Amanda?"
"Sarah?"
"Krysta?"
"Emily?"
"Jaqueline?"
"Kathy? Whoops, sorry," Monica said, "umm."
"Leah?"
"Mellissa?"
"I like Mellissa," Chandler said.
"Really? Mellissa Bing, sounds like a name," Monica said agreeing, "middle name?"
"Phoebe, because she named one of the babies Chandler."
"Hey, can we come in?" Rachel asked, opening the door a little.
"Yeah," Chandler said turning around. "OK, we would like you all to meet Mellissa Phoebe Bing," Chandler said smiling.
"I'm not good enough for a first name?" Phoebe asked, joking.
"ehhh," the baby cried on command.
"Well, she didn't think so," Monica said.
"And having the father's last name?I mean, how cliché," phoebe said.
~*~time lapse(don't ya love those?)4 months later~*~
"Chandler?" Monica said walking into their apartment. She wondered why he hadn't answered until she saw him and smiled. Chandler was asleep on the couch with Mellissa laying on his chest asleep. She stood there for a few minutes just watching them.
"Mon?" Rachel said walking in.
"Shhh," Monica said putting her finger up to her lips and motioning for Rachel to come over there.
"Awww," Rachel said seeing father and daughter asleep. "Hey, isn't today your anniversary?" Rachel whispered.
"Yea, Ross is going to watch Mel for us, actually, he's gonna be here pretty soon," Monica said, "I should probably wake them up, but I hate to disturb that."
"Here," Rachel said handing Monica her camera that had been sitting on the table.
"Thanks," Monica said taking their picture before walking over to them. She kissed the baby on the forehead before kissing Chandler on the lips to wake him up.
"Hey, blue eyes," she said when he opened his eyes. (one of my guy friends always says that to me and every time it's like *melt* I think he likes me, hehe)
"I didn't mean to fall asleep," Chandler said sitting up without waking Mellissa up, "When's Ross getting here?"
"In like 5 minutes," Monica said
"I came over here to ask you something, Mon," Rachel said, "but I don't remember what."
"Well, don't come back later if you remember," Chandler said grinning.
"Yeah, I gotcha," Rachel said, "c-ya later guys," she added walking out the door as Ross walked in.
"Hey."
"Hey, I'll be right back, I'm going to get her stuff," Monica said.
"She's been asleep for about half an hour," Chandler said and kissed Mellissa before putting her in her carrier and handing it to Ross.
"Ok," Monica said walking back into the room, "there's formula in her bag and she," Monica said but got cut off by Ross.
"I think I know what to do with a baby," Ross said, "I might even have a kid of my own lying around somewhere…"(I'm not sure if someone else has used that line before, sorry if u did, but hey, copying someone is the highest form of flattery, so, if that was you, be flattered!)
~*~*~*~*~
Monica and Chandler stayed at home and had a romantic candle-lit dinner that Monica had made, even though chandler had insisted they go out so she wouldn't have to cook.
"A whole year," Chandler said after they had finished eating.
"I know, it just doesn't seem like it, huh?"
"Yeah, everything's changed," Chandler said, "and if you had told me a year ago that this is what was going to happen, I would've laughed til I cried. The laughing would be because I wouldn't think you'd ever want me like that, the crying would be because I wouldn't think you'd ever want me like that and what I thought I'd be missing," Chandler paused and took Monica's hand, leading her into the living room. "We've done everything in the wrong order, but I don't think I could be happier. All I know, is that in the past year, I've been happier than I've ever been before. And Mon, I'm so in love with you. I love you so much, that it makes anything I've ever felt for anyone else, seem like nothing more then a crush. I never knew I could love someone so much," Chandler paused, "I love you and I can't think of anything else I want, other than to spend the rest of my life with you. You're the mother of my child. My best friend. The love of my life," Chandler's voice was barely above a whisper. He got a ring box out of his pocket as he got down on one knee, swallowing the knot in his throat in an attempt not to cry, " Monica, will you marry me?"
"Yes," she said and pulled him up off his knee, passionatly kissing him. They stood in each other's arms, neither one wanting to ruin the moment.
"Wanna dance?" Chandler whispered.
"Mais oui, monsieur," Monica said smiling.
Chandler walked over to the stereo and put on the song "Amazed" by Lonestar. He took Monica in his arms as the song started, whispering the words of the song to her as it played.
Everytime our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
And baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone, or anything
I can hear your thoughts
And I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I;m amazed by you
"I love you so much," Monica whispered as they danced. Chandler kissed her softly on the lips, but it soon got deeper. They move toward their bedroom, and Chandler lay her down on the bed.
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby, you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh, it feels like the first time, every time
I wanna spen the whole night
In your eyes
Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
As they lay in each other's arms, both Monica and Chandler thought of how lucky they were. Chandler rolled over and started kissing Monica again. They made love and talked all night, once again not thinking about what would happen come morning, but this time not caring, as long as they were together. Just the two of them and their daughter, the rest of the world didn't matter. They were going to spend the rest of their life together.
That, was all they needed to know.
Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
