TOW I can't think of a title~last part

I'm sure you'll all be glad to know that since yours truly(that would be me) didn't get a part in the winter play at school, I'll (hopefully) have time to write more fics now….or u probably don't care, but whatever….I'll get to my fic now…..but I must warn you that it's not very good, in my opinion at least…this is the last one in this series, I had a huge writer's block as to where to go with this, so that's why I didn't continue before..okay~

"God, I really don't wanna have to do this," Chandler said as he was packing, "and I have to meet Kathy's parents. I never even met them while we were dating. And I have to stay with them. Well, I suppose I could stay at a hotel, but I think they want to see Alex, and I don't really want to leave her."

"Hey, it'll be fine," Monica said, trying to at least reassure him a little. She wasn't exactly crazy about him being gone for four days, especially not for his ex-girlfriend's funeral, but he had to take Alex. "I'll miss you, though," she said and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Me too."

"How bad can it be?" Monica asked.

"You want a worse case scenario?"

"Not so much, then I'd have to worry about all those things actually happening."

"Well, for starters they could take Alex," Chandler said, "they" being Kathy's parents.

"That's not gonna happen," Monica tried to reassure him, but he only half-smiled. "I'm going to have to find a way to cheer you up though," Monica thought out loud, "How do I cheer Chandler up?" she asked grinning.

"I'm sorry, Mon, I just really don't feel like it right now."

Monica felt his forehead, "You Okay?"

"Haha, very funny."

"Seriously, that's not what I was talking about, I was going to tell you something, but if you don't wanna know…" Monica teased.

Chandler looked at her, he really didn't feel like playing that game.

"Okay, well, I was actually going to tell you this the night that, well, you found out about Kathy, but then I didn't," Monica paused, realizing now she was going to have to say it, "Chandler, I'm pregnant."

That was the right way to cheer him up. "Seriously?" he asked, grinning. She nodded. He then walked over to her and kissed her gently. "I love you," he whispered.

"I know," Monica said, still with a huge smile on her face.

Chandler just grinned back, "Well, aren't we cocky?" he teased, before kissing her again

~*~

"Can't sleep?" Monica said, opening her eyes to fin Chandler looking back at her. "Nervous?"

"Eh, kinda," he said, "and plus, I have to be away from you for four days."

"Yeah," Monica said placing her hand on top of Chandler's, which was resting on her stomach. "It's good that I told you I was pregnant before you left, right? Because I was going to have some really romantic way to tell you when you got back, but you really needed to be cheered up."

"Yeah, thanks," he mumbled into her hair.

"Good night."

"night."

~*~

"I don't wanna wear that," Alex said about what Chandler was trying to get her to wear.

"Please, Lexie?" he said, but she just sat on her bed, arms crossed, and shook her head.

"Nu-uh."

"Please?" he said again, but she shook her head. "Okay, then I'll have to do this," he said and tickled her until she was lying on the bed, giggling out of control.

"Daddy, stop," she said giggling.

"Will you wear it?"

"Yes," she answered between laughs.

"Okay," he stopped tickling her and she sat up.

"But only if I can do this," she said and sat on Chandler, ticking him.

~*~

"I'll miss you," Chandler said, kissing Monica.

"It's only four days ya know."

"Yeah, but still," he said and kissed her again, before kissing her stomach, "I'll miss you too."

Monica couldn't help but smile. "You'd better get going, and I gotta get to work," Monica pointed out.

"Yeah, I know," Chandler said, "Lexie, come on," he yelled. He's started to almost always call her Lexie, but everyone else called her Alex.

"Bye, Babe, I love you," Chandler said kissing her one more time.

"Ewww," Alex said as she came out of her room.

"I love you, too," Monica said laughing. "Now go, or you'll be late and miss your flight.

~*~

"I get to see gramma?" Alex asked excitedly, as they were getting off of the plane.

"Yep, she's waiting for us right now," he said, holding tightly onto her hand. Chandler had no clue what Kathy's mom even looked like, but she was meeting them there.

"Gramma!" Alex said running toward who was obviously her grandmother, and hugged her.

"I'm assuming that you're Chandler," she said coldly.

"Yes," he said extending his hand.

"I'm Carol," she said shaking his hand, "I'm sorry that you had to come, if I'd had time I would've come back and got Alex myself."

"That's okay, I really don't mind."

"Daddy," Alex pulled on Chandler's sleeve, "I gotta go potty."

"I'll take you, sweetheart," Carol said holding out her hand for Alex to take.

"kay," she agreed, letting go of Chandler's hand and taking her grandmother's.

Chandler could tell that she didn't like him and that she didn't know the whole story about him and Kathy. 'this is gonna be a long four days,' he thought.

~*~

"Can we play?" Alex asked her grandmother when they got back to their house.

"No honey, you need to take a bath and go to bed so you can get up early tomorrow," her grandmother said.

"Why?"

"To go to Mommy's funeral," Chandler said, stepping into the conversation.

"What's a frunral?"

"We already talked about that, remember? It's when you say good-bye."

"But I don't wanna say good-bye," Alex said, not knowing how much it broke the hearts of the two adults standing there.

"Sometimes you don't have a choice, Lexie," Chandler said softly.

"Want me to give you a bath?" Carol said, changing the subject.

"No, Daddy can," Alex said, causing her to look a little hurt.

"How about we both do?" Chandler said, and Alex nodded.

"Anybody home?" a voice yelled while Alex was still taking a bath.

"Grampa," Alex grinned and stood up.

Chandler held out a towel and wrapped her in it, picking her up. Kathy's mother had been watching every move that he made. And after watching him with Alex for the last few hours, she had almost decided that this man wasn't all that bad, not even close to as evil as she'd thought of him being. And it was obvious that Alex loved him.

"I wanna go see Grampa," Alex said, wiggling to get out of Chandler's arms.

"How bout you go get your pajamas on first," he said, not putting her down.

"Nuh-uh," she said again, trying to get down.

"Alexis."

"Okay," she said and let Chandler take her to get dressed.

~*~

"I need to say something," Chandler said, sitting down in their living room after he put Alex to bed.

"Okay," Kathy's father said.

"Please don't take her away from me," he pleaded, not even trying to hide the desperation in his voice, "I don't know what you think you know about me, or what you don't, but please, don't take my daughter away from me."

"After three years, why now?" Carol asked.

"Because I didn't know before, honestly. I didn't even know that I had a daughter, I hadn't even thought about Kathy in the past four years until she showed up a couple weeks ago at my door," Chandler said, and explained everything, hoping that they'd believe him.

"Daddy, I can't sleep," a small voice came from behind them.

"I'm going to bed," he said and got up, "good night." Alex held out her arms and Chandler picked her up and kissed her , praying that he wouldn't lose her.

~*~

Chandler stood holding Alex, more for the reason that a kid holds a security blanket than for any other reason. They were at Kathy's funeral. It hadn't even started yet, and already he'd seen more people walking by and talking bout him then he could count. "Kathy's daughter" "The father" he kept hearing.

Chandler remembered something and put Alex down. "Just stand there a second, hun," he whispered. He took a piece of paper out of his wallet and then put it back in his pocket.

"If everyone would please take their seats, the service is about to begin."

Throughout the service, the minister would mention something about Alex, and that in itself made people cry harder. It even almost made Chandler cry, the thought that his daughter would never know her mother. (AN, you don't have to read this, but whatever. One of my friend's dads died when she was 12, and at his funeral , they kept mentioning things like how he'd never get to see her on her first date or walk her down the aisle at her wedding, and just mentioning her would make more people cry, it was so sad, I'm sorry, I'm sure you don't care about any of this.) Alex was quiet, she understood that this was serious, she just didn't understand why.

After the service, Chandler got the piece of paper out of his pocket and whispered something to Alex, handing it to her. Alex put the piece of paper under some of the flowers. It was the picture Alex had drawn for her the day she died. "she just looks like she's sleeping, why doesn't she wake up?" she whispered to Chandler.

"Because when you die, you don't wake up," he whispered back.

And then Alex did something that tugged on the hearts on everyone there. She leaned down from Chandler's arms and kissed her mom on the cheek and said, "Bye, I love you, Mommy," before wrapping her arms around Chandler's neck and burying her face in his chest.

~*~

"That was really sweet," a woman came up to Chandler at the reception(that's not what it's called is it? I don't think so, hmmm). "Hi, I'm Andrea," she said extending her hand.

"Chandler," he said shaking her hand, "and I didn't tell her to do that."

"Do you remember me?" she asked Alex, but she just shook her head, "I didn't think so." She stood there, debating whether or not to say anything else to him, and finally decided to. "Kathy told me all about you," she said, "not to make you feel uncomfortable or anything."

"Like what?"

"That she regretted ever cheating on you, that she couldn't decide whether or not to tell you about Alex, how hard it was to go to you in New York…I actually kind of convinced her to do that.."

"Well, thank you then," Chandler smiled, "I owe you a lot."

"No problem."

"So…you two were pretty good friends then."
"Yeah, we've been best friends since college."

"Kool," Chandler didn't know what else to say.

"So, umm, are you married? Any other kids? Am I getting too personal, if I am just walk away, I have a tendency to do that," she said smiling.

"I don't mind," he answered, "yea, I'm married, and well, I guess I can tell you this, I've been dying to tell someone, my wife's pregnant."

"Congratulations."

"Thanks."
"Well, it was nice meeting you, if you're ever in Chicago or need to talk, here's my card," she smiled.

"Thanks, and I'm sorry for your loss."
"Same to you," she said before walking away.

"Chandler," Carol said and he turned around. "Um, we'd like you to have custody of Alex. If we can still see her, that is. You obviously love her and I can tell she adores you."

"Yeah, that'd be fine," was all Chandler could say, "Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this means to me."

"Thank you, too," was all she said before walking away.

~*~

Chandler walked into his apartment a little after one in the morning, carrying a sleeping Alex and a suitcase. He put Alex to bed, not bothering to put her pajamas on, and walked into his bedroom. He'd decided to catch a different flight so that he could get home, he didn't want to spend anymore time away from Monica than he had to, and since Kathy's parents had decided to give him custody of Alex, he didn't have to stay and meet with the judge the next day.

Chandler stripped down to a T-shirt and boxers, and kissed Monica on the lips to wake her up. "Hey gorgeous," he whispered when she opened her eyes.

"What are you doing home?" she asked.

"What a nice greeting," he joked.

"seriously."

"Kathy's parents decided to give me custody of Alex, so I don't have to meet with the judge tomorrow, or today rather, so I caught an earlier flight cuz I missed you."

Monica just grinned and pulled him under the covers next to her. Chandler wrapped his arms around her, placing on hand protectively on her stomach.

"I love you," Monica whispered.

"I know," Chandler teased, and Monica just laughed.

~*~

Everyone was at Monica and Chandler's just sitting around, talking. Joey was talking about his latest acting gig, and Ross was droning on about something at work. Alex was sitting on the couch next to Chandler, coloring in her coloring book. Monica was leaned up against Chandler, who was unconsciously playing with her hair. Phoebe and Rachel were arguing over some guy they had met, and ended up flipping a coin to decide who got him. There were 3 conversations going on at once, Monica and Chandler were both trying to think of the best time to tell every one that they were having a baby, and Alex had stopped coloring and cuddled up next to Chandler. And Chandler just smiled about the chaos, he couldn't be happier.

It was his own little happily ever after.
