I'm listening to John Mayer as I am writing this, so expect one of his songs to pop up in it. I love John Mayer! Anyway, that's not the point, here is the next chapter and I hope you like it. This part sucks in my opinion. Sorry, I want to get it done and up and so I was writing quickly. I have, like, no time at all anymore! Did you know that I didn't get home before five one day this week because of all my extracurricular activities? Ahhhhh.

Suburbs of New York-
"Have fun on your trip!" Alex yelled. "Don't worry about us!" Monica smiled as she and Chandler pulled out of the driveway in Ross's car.
"Be good!" She yelled one more time out the window.
"Bye Momma!" Natalie yelled. Monica blew her a kiss from the window. When they got to the airport, Monica asked Chandler and Ross for the hundredth time.
"Are you sure that they are going to be okay?"
"Yes honey," Chandler told her.
"Mon, we have it all under control."
"Of course you do," Monica told him. "The numbers of where we'll be are on the fridge."
"Got it," Ross said giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Have fun."
"We plan on it," Chandler told him slipping an arm around his wife and pulling her toward the gates. "Or at least I do," he whispered to her. She giggled as they boarded the plane. Ross turned away and got back into the car and drove home. He and Wendy were planning on moving in two weeks. They had closed on the house and Ross had gotten the job at the university. Chris and Joey were officially moved back. She got the job at the elementary school and they were staying at Monica and Chandler's. Phoebe and David were moving in a month, and Rachel and Trent a little after that. Ross pulled up to the Bing residence and parked in the driveway. Joey was playing basketball with Alex in the driveway.
"Hey Uncle Ross! I can beat Uncle Joey with one arm tied behind me!"
"I'm sure you can," Ross said laughing at how Joey's face got all upset and he stomped inside like a small child.
"Want to play?"
"Not now buddy," Ross told his nephew messing his hair and walking inside.
"Did they get off okay?" Chris asked.
"Sure did," Ross told her. "Monica says that the numbers..."
"The emergency numbers are on the fridge," Chris interrupted. "We know. We know, she knows that we know. Why does she insist on telling us four thousand times?"
"Because she's Monica," Joey answered popping a piece of chicken into his mouth.
"Do you ever stop eating?" Wendy asked.
"Not usually," Chris told her answering for her fiance who was stuffing his mouth.
"Hey," he said food falling out. "When's lunch?" The other three just shook their heads and left him in the hallway with his hands in the air.
"What?" He asked following Chris. "What did I say?"
Paris-
"I could live here," Monica announced looking out of the window in their hotel room. "I mean I could seriously live here."
"You said that about London too when we first went there," Chandler reminded her.
"Well I could live there too," she told him.
"I'd live anywhere as long as you were with me," he said.
"That's sweet," she kissed him. "Even Yemen?" He laughed.
"I've been there before babe. It wasn't that bad." She giggled. He pulled her onto the bed and kissed her up and down.
"Soon, we'll have one more little Bing taking up all your time and my money," he teased.
"Are you jealous?"
"Of course, but I'll get over it," he told her. She turned on the radio and her favorite singer was on. She turned up the volume on John Mayer's Your Body is a Wonderland.
We've got the afternoon
you got this room for two
one thing left to do
discover me discovering you
one mile to every inch
of your skin like porcelain
one pair of candy lips and your bubble gum tongue
cause if you want love
we'll make it
we'll swim in a deep sea of blankets
we'll take all your big plans and break them
this is bound to be awhile
your body is a wonderland
your body is a wonder, I'll use my hands
your body is a wonderland
something about the way your hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
you tell me where to go
though I may leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed without my hand behind it
you want love
we'll make it
we'll swim in a deep sea of blankets
we'll take all your big plans and break them
this is bound to be awhile
your body is a wonderland
your body is a wonder, I'll use my hands
your body is a wonderland
Damn, baby
you frustrate me
I know you're mine, all mine, all mine
but you look so good it hurts sometimes
your body is a wonderland
your body is a wonder, I'll use my hands
your body is a wonderland
your body is a wonderland
I'll never seek them out again
now there's no reason
I've got the kind of love on my hands
to last all seasons
all seasons
Two weeks later, Monica dropped her head on the pillow.
"I love vacations," Monica told Chandler laying back onto the bed.
"We haven't made it out of the bedroom yet," he teased her.
"I know," she said back. "That would be a pressing reason that I love these trips. Just you and me and no kids. Well," she paused and placed her hand on her stomach. "Just the one." He smiled and kissed her stomach.
"I love you Monica," he told her.
"Right back at you," she said. The song ended and he pulled her close. "Though I am thinking about leaving you for John Mayer." He pushed her away and she giggled. "Kidding." He kissed her on the lips.
"He is one tasty treat," Chandler told her teasingly. (AN: That is sort of an inside joke. My best friend Riley and I love him. Our whole locker is decorated with John Mayer pictures, and she said that once. That he was one tasty treat. I just thought that it was really funny. Anyway, somebody stop me). They enjoyed their last week of freedom before they had to return to kids and jobs and real life.
Suburbs of New York-
"That's their car!" Sophie yelled. "Mommy and Daddy are home." Alex came running from the family room almost crashing into her and sending her flying.
"Uncle Joey! Aunt Chris! They're here!" All three kids and Chris and Joey who were the only ones left for the time being, came running out.
"Momma!" Natalie yelled. Monica hopped out of the passenger side and ran towards her children. She spun Natalie around as Chandler hugged Sophie to him and ruffled Alex's hair. Then he took Natalie off of Monica and she picked up Sophie and hugged Alex at the same time.
"I missed you guys," she said.
"We missed you too!" Sophie told her mother hugging her tightly around the neck.
"Don't forget about me!" Joey complained, causing Monica and Chandler to look at him and smile.
"Never Joe," Chandler assured him. He handed Natalie to Chris and hugged his best friend. "But can we please go inside seeing how my wife and I haven't been home in two weeks, and we'd like to survey the damage done." Chris laughed.
"We were all on our very best behavior," she told them. Monica still had to go in and see for herself.
Two months later-
"So what do you think?" Rachel asked Monica. Monica looked around the house and for the first time for in week she didn't see boxes everywhere.
"Its looks good," she told her best friend. "I'm so glad that you're here."
"Ditto," Phoebe answered sitting down at the kitchen table with the two friends. "Mon, how is the baby doing?" Monica smiled and rubbed her stomach which at four months pregnant, was just beginning to show.
"Good," she said. She was all smiles talking about her pregnancy.
"So you and Chandler aren't going to find out what the sex of the baby is?" Rachel asked.
"No we want to be surprised," Monica said. "We figure this will be the last one so we want to not know. We knew with Alex, and Sophie and Nat, so this one will be a surprise."
"Does Chandler want another boy to even out the numbers" Phoebe asked. Monica shrugged.
"To tell you the truth I have no idea," she admitted. "I don't know if he cares. Alex certainly wants another boy, but the girls are set on another girl." She glanced at her watch. "Oh I have to go. The house looks great Rachel." She gave each of her friends a hug before running out the door and driving home. She opened the door to find Joey and Alex with helmets on their heads throwing something at each other.
"Look out!" She heard Chandler shout. She was hit. With some sort of jell type substance.
"Uh-oh," Alex said.
"Who'd I get?" Chandler came running out behind Joey. "Oh no." He saw his wife fuming and turning more and more red by the second. "Hi honey, we were just playing." She wasn't amused.
"Chandler?" She asked fake sweet.
"What?" He was ready for some punishment.
"Why don't you make up the couch for tonight?"
"Why whose staying over?" Joey asked.
"Ask Chandler," she told him as she turned on her heel and marched upstairs.
"Whose coming over?" Joey asked again. Chandler shook his head and looked incredulously at his friend.
"Oh Joe," he said. "Come on Alex, we need to go get you cleaned up." He went into the guest bathroom when he heard the shower running in his room. He knew his wife was angry and seeing as she was pregnant, so her hormones were running even wilder these days, he had screwed up. He got Alex cleaned up and went back and cleaned the hallway. They started with stuff animals, but it had seemed such a good idea to use jello. Now it was stuck everywhere and he had to clean it up. He checked on Sophie and Natalie who were watching a movie and sighed as he got out the mop. He saw Monica come down a minute later, her hair wrapped in a towel.
"I'm not still mad," she told him. "I think that was the hormones." He nodded and hugged her.
"Sorry about the jello," he added. She hit him playfully and smiled.
"What on earth made you think I wouldn't get mad if you were throwing jello all over the house?" He shrugged.
"Joey was here," was his excuse. That was enough though and she led him into the family room where everyone in the house had gathered. Chandler knew her hormones were going crazy. It was going to be a long five months.
***Okay, as I mentioned before, I know that part sucked. Sorry. But the next one will be the birth. What do you think that it will be? Girl or boy? And if anyone has any name suggestions, please tell me.*****
