Here's the next part, sorry, it is kinda cliché but I am going somewhere with this…it's just taking awhile to get there. And I got this idea like a really long time ago, but I'm just now writing it so…I don't even really know what my point is…I don't like this as much as my last one, but whatever, so, yeah, please read and review!!!! Where we left off last…….
"Hi," Chandler finally managed to say.
"Hey," the person at the door nervously said back.
"Wha-what are you doing here?"
"Um, well," Kathy (yes, her, atleast it's not Janice, I'm NEVER gonna have it be Janice. And yea, cliché, but I'm writing this so I'm doing it my way) said. "I kinda need to talk to you…"
"so, talk," Chandler said.
"Umm, in private?" She said glancing toward Monica
"Whatever you need to say to me you can say in front of her."
"Well…."
"It's fine, Chandler," Monica said, finally getting over the shock of seeing Kathy again. As far as she was concerned she never wanted to see her again. She hated Kathy for ever hurting Chandler, she'd never seen him as bad as he was after they broke up.
"Okay, we'll go out in the hall," Chandler said still not quite sure why she was there.
"You're probably wondering why I'm here…"
"Probably? Kathy, I haven't seen you in what, 4 years? Yeah, I'm wondering why the hell you're here," Chandler snapped.
"So, you're married," Kathy said seeing the ring on his finger.
"Yes, and don't change the subject."
"Sorry, I was just wondering. How long?"
"About 10 months. Seriously, why are you here?" he asked, not as mad as before.
"To who?"(yes, that should be to WHOM, but I refuse to use that word, don't ask why)
Chandler almost laughed, he thought that she would have figured that out. "Monica," he said smiling.
"That's actually not that suprising."
"So, did you just come to chat, or to see if I was married, or what…"
"Mommy?" a small child walked over from the stairs and Chandler started to put 2 and 2 together.
"Come here, Alex," Kathy said and picked up the little girl. "Chandler," she said, pausing to take a deep breath, "this is Alexis. Your daughter."
A million thoughts ran through Chandler's head. What? Daughter. His. Kathy's. He was a dad. She never told him. "Why the hell didn't you tell me before? And how do you know she's mine? If I remember correctly, you cheated on me!"
"Chandler, not now," Kathy pleaded. "hey, did you leave your backpack at the bottom of the stairs? Go get it, okay?" she said to Alex and put her down. "Chandler, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before, I moved to L.A. before I even knew, and then….i don't know. It just would've been too ackward to call, so…I'm sorry. I-I screwed up. And she's not Nick's. I might've cheated with you and cheated on you, but I don't just sleep around."
Chandler let everything sink in and leaned against the wall for support, running his hand through his hair.
"I'm sorry that I never told you….and, um, this is kind of ackward, but I need to ask you something. I moved back to New York a few weeks ago, and we're filming this movie, and I have to got out of town for a week and I know that you don't even know her , but I was wondering if Alex could satay with you," Kathy said, the last sentence coming out way too fast.
"Wow, you said that all really fast," Chandler joked before thinking for a second. "Yeah, she can stay here….She's really my daughter? You're not just saying that to get me to do this?"
"I swear, Chandler. Have a paternity test if you don't believe me."
"So, when are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning, actually."
"You were pretty sure that I'd say yes and not slam the door in your face. So how long are you gonna be gone?"
"Until next Monday. We'll be shooting right outside of Los Vegas. Here's my number and stuff," she said handing him a piece of paper. "I don't think that Alex'll miss me too, mush, she's been away from me before. She turned 3 last November, so she's kind of at the point where she says she can do everything herself. And right now, she'll pretty much eat nothing but peanut butter and jelly," Kathy explained as Alex walked back over. She had on a backpack and had another small bag in her hand. "Some here, hun," Kathy said and hugged and kissed her. "You be good, okay?"
"Ohtay," she said smiling.
"I love you, Lexie," she said before hugging her again. "Chandler…" she said turnign around to face him, "thanks, and….I really am sorry. For not telling you and for just kind of dumping her here…"
"That's ok. I don't campletly forgive you, but don't worry about it."
"I'd better go. My plane leaves at 5 tomorrow morning and I still have to pack, so, bye."
"Bye, mommy," Alex said waving.
They stood in the hallway for a few minutes after they left before Chandler realized that Monica was probably wondering what the hell was going on.
"Are you really my daddy?" Alexis asked quietly.
Chandler crouched down next to her so that he was at her eye level and said, "Yeah, hunny, I think I am."
"Ohtay," she said and then hugged him. Chandler smiled . He hadn't really looked at her before, but when she pulled away, he looked at her and realized that he could actually see himself in her. She actually looked more like him than like Kathy. And he decided that Kathy wouldn't lie about something like this.
"Wanna meet somone?" Chandler asked.
"Who?" she said excitedly.
"My wife."
"kay."
He reached for the doorknob and opened the door a crack, but she didn't move. "You're gonna have to come with me, I won't bite, I promise," he said smiling at her and she followed him throught the door. "Mon?" he yelled and she immediately came out of the bathroom.
"What the hell did she want?" Monica said, not seeing Alexis behind Chandler.
"What the hell did who want?" Alexis repeated. Monica stopped dead in her tracks. Chandler froze, not knowing what to say.
"Um, Mon," Chandler took a step toward her and motioned for Ale to come in front of him. "This is Alexis….my…..daughter," he said, not easily getting the words out. Monica stood where she was, shocked. After a minute, Chandler decided to say something. "Mon? Could you say something? Anything?"
"Oh my god," was all she could manage to say. After a minute she found her voice and yelled, 'How could you not tell me something like this??? No secret, remember?!?!?"
"Mon, listen.."he started but monica cut him off.
""No, you listen. How could you not tell me something like this?"
"Mon,"
"I'll talk to you later, I just, I can't right now," she said walking out and slamming the door.
"Is she mad cuz a me?" alex asked.
"No, of course not, she's mad at me," Chandler said. "Hey, do you like to ba called Alex?"
"I dunno. Sometimes mommy calls me Lexie, I like Lexie better."
"Okay, well Lexie what do you wanna do?"
"I donno."
Are you hungry?"
"no."
Do you wanna watch TV?" he finally asked not having a clue what to do, and wishing that Monica was there. When she said okay, he turned on the TV and found cartoons. He sat there thinking about Monica, and praying that she'd let him explain when she came back. 'if she comes back….no, she'll come back ,' he thought, 'god, she's gotta.'
