Thanks for reviewing! Keep reviewing! This is the last chapter! I want to get it finished because I have to go Christmas shopping, I haven't even started yet and its less then a week before Christmas. Talk about waiting until the last minute right?

Suburbs of New York-
"Chandler!" Monica's voice floated through the house and Chandler ran to where she was. She was a week late, so anything she wanted, she was getting.
"What honey?" He asked.
"I think that its time," she told him.
"Chris! Joey!" Chris and Joey were still living with them, but they had made an offer on an house. Chris was the first to arrive to the panicked cries.
"What's happening?"
"Monica's in labor," he told her. "Can you watch the kids?" She nodded and helped Chandler get Monica to the car and they waved as they drove away.
"Oh and call Ross and Rachel, and Phoebe," Monica yelled out the window before another contraction hit and she screamed in pain. Chris nodded and ran back into the house and grabbed the phone and dialed the number of Rachel first. When they had all arrived at the hospital, Chandler came out and announced that everything was okay and going smoothly. They heard a shout from Monica and he turned and went back in.
"I'm glad I'm not him," Ross said. "I remember when Alicia was born, I was positive that Wendy was going to break my hand."
"I broke two of David's fingers with David and bruised it pretty badly with Henry," Phoebe said and they all laughed. "Now when we get into a fight he touches his fingers gingerly."
"I hope she's okay," Rachel said.
"She'll be fine, its Monica. And she's done this three times already," Ross said. It was just the three of them sitting in the waiting room. Joey came in a few hours later and asked how everything was going.
"Chandler said that she's doing fine," Rachel informed him.
"I'm terrified of Chris having a baby. Tribianni's were not born with strong bones," he said.
"Phoebe broke David's fingers," Ross said adding on to Joey's fear.
"That's it! We're just never going to have sex again," Joey said.
"I never thought I would live to hear those words out of Joey Tribianni's mouth!" Rachel said looking incredulously at Joey.
"There's a line that has to be drawn Rach," he told her honestly.
"But Joe? No sex? Imagine if you will, a world with no sex, and no sandwiches," Phoebe said. At the look of horrification on Joey's face, they all broke into laughter.
"Sandwiches?" Ross asked.
"I had to up the ante," Phoebe explained.
"Ah," Rachel said nodding. An hour later, Chandler emerged from the delivery room.
"Ten fingers, ten toes, and bright blue eyes," he announced.
"So? Girl? Boy?"
"Boy," Chandler said proudly. "Another boy. Spencer Robert."
"Can we see him and Monica?" Ross asked. Chandler nodded and led them to her room. She was holding the baby in her arms and Rachel and Phoebe both ran over and told Monica how beautiful he was.
"You okay Rach?" Ross said a few minutes later when he noticed her standing off to the side looking at Monica with an unreadable expression on her face.
"I wanted that," she whispered.
"What?"
"What she has," Rachel said biting her nail.
"You'll get it," Ross told her. "I promise. You'll remarry and be fine. Hey if I can make a marriage work that anyone can right?" Rachel giggled and smiled as he slipped his arm around her.
"Thanks for making me laugh," she told him.
"That's what I'm here for," he told her.
"Rach? Want to hold the baby?" Rachel nodded and ran over and took Spence in her arms. She held him close to her and wondered what her life would have been like if she would have stayed with Brian. She guessed it wouldn't have been very fun. He was a good father, though, and that's what really mattered she guessed. She went home and hugged Trent as soon as she walked in the door.
"Mom!" He pulled away and made a face that she grinned at and kissed his head causing even more reaction from her son. "Did Aunt Monica have a boy or a girl?"
"Boy," Rachel said taking off her coat. "Spencer Robert."
"Aw, man, Alex is so lucky! I mean I know that he has to deal with those two sisters, but now he has a brother!" Rachel smiled at him.
"You want a brother?" She asked.
"No, I wouldn't like sharing my stuff."
"But you just said that Alex was lucky."
"Alex has two parents, he barely has to share. If I had a brother I would have to share everything. Here and at Dad's." Trent made a face and ran off to his room.
"Did Aunt Monica have a boy or a girl?" Alicia asked Ross when he walked in the door.
"Another boy," he told her.
"Aw," she said stamping her foot. "I bet Sophie will be mad." Ross laughed and gave her a quick kiss before watching her run up the stairs.
"Hey you," Wendy said coming into the hall. "Mon and the baby okay?"
"Everyone is fine," Ross assured her. "Except maybe Chandler who ran around going crazy telling everyone that he had a boy. He's always been outnumbered, and now he's not." Wendy laughed.
"I still think that Monica can control him," she said.
"Oh, most definitely," Ross agreed.
"So who where's the pants in this house Mr. Geller?"
"I was kind of hoping that it was me, but I have a sinking feeling that its not," Ross said.
"Yeah, I got that impression too," Wendy said kissing him. "Would you like to go see?" Ross got the hint and scooped her up in his arms and took her up the stairs pausing only momentarily to make sure Alicia was playing happily in her room.
"Mon have the baby?" David asked when Phoebe got home.
"Yep, baby boy, Spencer," she told him kissing him as she sat down.
"Make you jealous?" He asked teasingly.
"Little bit," she said. "Maybe we should have another one, and maybe it should be a girl this time?"
"Is that what you want?" She nodded and he smiled.
"Well?" She waited for his answer.
"I do believe that can be arranged," he told her laughing.
"Where are the boys?"
"Both are at a friend's house," David said smiling mischievously.
"Really?" Phoebe raised an eyebrow. "How did you manage that one?"
"I didn't!" He said. "But it just worked out that way, didn't it?"
"I love you," she whispered leaning to kiss him.
"I love you too," he said. Then he put some music on and they danced back and forth gently to it. He slipped his arm around her and she laid her head on his shoulders.
"Mommy had a boy?" Sophie stuck her tongue out in disgust. Natalie, copying her older sister, did the same thing.
"Yes!" Alex said and he did a little dance to show that that was fine with him. Chris laughed and looked at all three kids. Her and Joey had been staying in the den on the pull-out couch, so that Monica and Chandler could turn the extra room into a nursery. Monica, at first, had argued with this, seeing as the baby would stay with her and Chandler for awhile anyway, and Chris and Joey weren't going to be there that long. But Chris had put up a fight, and being the stubborn, strong-willed person she was, she ended up winning the argument, causing all of Monica's friends to look at her with a new light.
"I don't think anyone has ever won an argument against Monica," Rachel said shaking her head.
"Mon's lost her touch in through the years," Joey said.
"She used to be undefeatable," Ross said.
"I have my ways," Chris said. They all looked at her with admiration and Monica fumed in the corner, showing that she hadn't in fact changed all that much. Now Chris was watching the Bing kids until their parents came home from the hospital. She liked Monica and Chandler, and she liked the rest of Joey's friends. They were exactly how he had described them, and he talked about them a lot. Joey was still a big kid at heart, but Chris wanted kids, she had decided. But she had to talk to Joey about it.
"Joe?" She said. "Can we talk?" He nodded and took her hand and led her to the quiet kitchen.
"What's up?"
"With Monica having the baby and everything, I was just wondering, if you know, we could maybe look into the possibility of having kids," she said quickly.
"Wow, you managed to get that out that fast?" He was impressed and she grinned.
"What do you say?"
"I think that I would love to have kids with you," he told her hugging her. "If they all turn out like you that is." She grinned and he kissed her.
"Eww!" Alex and Sophie were standing there.
"You're worse then our parents," Alex said. "And they're bad." Chris laughed.
"Really?" Sophie nodded her head.
"They're always kissing and hugging and telling each other they I love you," she said making a face. "Its annoying." Chris smiled at the little girl and hugged her.
"Sorry," she said.
"Don't let it happen again," Sophie said seriously.
"I won't," Chris promised.
"Okay."
"What's up guys?" Joey asked.
"When are Mom and Dad coming home?" Alex asked.
"Soon," Joey said.
"What you don't like us?" Chris said pretending to be insulted.
"We like you just fine," Alex said. "You let us eat anything we want."
"I told you not to do that," Chris said to Joey. He just shrugged.
"What kind of a kid doesn't eat pizza and mac and cheese?"
"Monica's kids," Chris answered. But they ended up ordering pizza for dinner that night anyway and a few days later Monica came home with Spencer, and Alex didn't have time to remember to tell her that all they had eaten was junk food like he threatened to do.
Christmas came around and Monica and Chandler were having a big party at their house. They had everyone come over and Monica ran around getting everything ready. It was four months later, and Chris was three months pregnant. Her and Joey were married, and Rachel was dating a man named Paul, and it seemed to be going good between the two of them. Trent even liked him The doorbell rang and Sophie ran to answer it in her red dress and black hair curled and pulled up into red ribbons. She pulled it open and Phoebe, David and the boys came in.
"Hi!" She waved and smiled at them. "Merry Christmas!"
"Same to you sweetie," Phoebe said handing her a present. "Where's everyone?"
"Living room," Sophie answered more interested in the present in her hands. They walked back, and saw a huge tree decorated perfectly.
"Did you expect anything other from Monica?" David teased.
"Merry Christmas!" Phoebe said. They all turned and smiled and hugged her. Chris and Joey were already there, as were Alicia, Wendy, and Ross. Phoebe spotted a lot of familiar faces and was surprised when a hand landed on her shoulder. She turned around and was shocked at who was standing there.
"Gunther!" She leaned forward and hugged him.
"Hi Phoebe," he said. "Is Rachel here?"
"Not yet," Phoebe laughed. "So how are you? Married?"
"Divorced, but I have two kids," he said smiling and pointing to a little girl and boy who each had an unusual fashion sense, and a sarcastic attitude about them. Phoebe talked with Gunther for a little longer and then went around and greeted the rest of her friends.
"Hi Aunt Phoebe," little Natalie said. Sophie had been wearing red, but Natalie was wearing dark blue so the blue ribbons in her dark hair didn't stand out as much as Sophie's. But she had the cutest dimples when she smiled and like all the Bing kids, even four-month-old Spence, had bright blue eyes that seemed to sparkle when they were happy.
"Hi Nat!" She picked her up and hugged her. "Where's your Mom?" Natalie pointed and Phoebe carried her over to Monica and Chandler. Monica was holding Spence in her arms, but Chandler reached out and took Natalie off of Phoebe.
"Hi guys," she told them giving them hugs.
"Hey Pheebs," Chandler said. The doorbell rang again, and Sophie and Alicia ran towards it. Rachel, Paul, and Trent were standing there in the snow.
"Merry Christmas!" Rachel said. "Don't you girls look pretty?"
"Thanks," both girls said and each blushed. They were exact opposites of each other. While Sophie had dark hair and blue eyes, Alicia had light hair and brown eyes. They led Rachel back to the living room where everyone was.
"Picture time!" Someone said. They did families first. The Bings stood by the tree, Monica holding Spence, and Chandler holding Natalie and Alex and Sophie standing in front of them. Then Ross, Alicia, and Wendy had their picture taken, and Rachel and Trent and Paul, and Joey with his arms wrapped around Chris, and finally Phoebe and her family.
"Lets take a picture of the old gang," Rachel suggested. The six of them agreed and Chris took Spence for Monica and they went and stood in front of the tree. Chandler wrapped his arms around Monica, and Joey placed his arm around Phoebe, and Rachel leaned into Ross and he put his arm around her. They all smiled for the camera. Seven years they had been apart, and in this year they had finally come back together. Life had led them in separate directions and to different paths, but fate had brought them back. They needed each other, they needed each other's support and guidance and the girls needed their friends to gossip and the boys to have someone to go to hockey games with. After the picture was developed, Monica placed it on the mantle next to the one taken at Central Perk oh so many years before. She leaned back and smiled at it.
"Hey," Chandler said coming up behind her.
"Hey, I'm glad they all came back," she said.
"So am I," he told her.
"It was getting lonely here just us."
"Hey," he said. "I am fun company." She grinned and turned around. He put his arm around her and led her away from the picture. After all, everyone was coming over for dinner that night and she had to get it prepared.
***That is the end! Tell me what you thought about it please! And Merry Christmas!***
