1007 - TOW the New Neighbors
Crying was heard throughout the apartment in the middle of the night. Chandler and Monica stumbled out of bed and hurried to the nursery, each taking a three-month-old baby in their arms. The squalling infants were hungry and wanted a bottle.
Monica carried Ally into the living room and sat on the couch. Chandler took Alex into his and Monica's bedroom and sat down on the bed. They thought it'd be best to keep the kids separated during feeding time so neither would fuss and make the other fuss.
Pounding was heard from the front door and it wasn't Joey because he was with Phoebe at her apartment. Monica walked over to the door and Chandler walked out of the bedroom and over to the door. Both were holding and feeding a fussy baby now.
Monica opened the door to be faced by two younger people. One was a man of about twenty and the other was a woman of about the same age. The man and woman glared at Chandler and Monica and then at the twins.
Man: We're the new neighbors. I'm Dave and this is my wife Jamie.
Monica: Hi Dave.
Dave: Are you two planning on moving out? I mean, we cannot sleep with those two screaming brats crying at all hours of the night.
Chandler: They're babies . . .
Jamie: We know. We have a daughter. She's two. Anyway, we don't want to be bothered by any babies. So, if you're going to continue to live here, we're going to have to suggest to the landlord that you be removed from the building.

The sun was up and everybody was at Central Perk. Well, everybody was Phoebe, Joey, Frank Jr. Jr., little Chandler, Leslie, Ross, Rachel, Hannah, Monica, Chandler, Ally, and Alex.
Monica looked a bit frazzled and Chandler was holding the twins. He looked a bit strange too.
Rachel: What is up with you two this morning?
Chandler: We have new neighbors.
Phoebe: Oh! New neighbors!
Monica: It's nothing to be excited about, believe me.
Ross: Why do you say that?
Chandler: They hate us! They threatened to tell the landlord to kick us out if the kids don't stop crying in the early morning.
Rachel: What?! That's stupid!
Monica: I know, but that's what they say. I mean, I've lived in that apartment for about eleven years now, and I'm not going to let some young couple and their little brat kick us out of our home.
Joey: You tell 'em, Mon!
Monica: What do you say, Chandler, that if we get kicked out, we give them the biggest, loudest cry they've ever heard?
Chandler: You lost me, but great! I'm in!
Monica: Good!
Rachel looked at her watch. She stood with Hannah quickly.
Rachel: Oops, Hannah's got a doctor's appointment today.
Monica: Oh, is something wrong?
Rachel: No, just a checkup.
Ross: Hey, I've gotta go to work. See you guys later.
He kissed Rachel and then kissed his baby's cheek and left the coffeehouse. Rachel soon left with Hannah.
Phoebe stood up and Joey stood with her.
Phoebe: I've gotta go too. I've got my first ultrasound today! Three months pregnant today! Woohoo!
Everybody: Yay!/Good luck!/You look great Phoebe!
Phoebe: Yay me! You ready Joey?
Joey: Yeah, let's go.
Phoebe: Come on kids, let's go.
The triplets followed Phoebe and Joey out of the coffeehouse. Monica and Chandler were left with Ally and Alex.
Chandler: God, if those new neighbors don't mind their own business . . .
Monica: Honey, calm down. I'm sure they were just a little on edge. I mean, they just moved in and they're having trouble getting adjusted. We should go visit them.
Chandler: What?! The enemy?
Monica: Chandler, they're not the enemy.
Chandler: Fine . . .
Monica rolled her eyes and took a sip of a soda she had to drink now that Central Perk's coffee was less that . . .well . . .perky.

At the doctor's office, Joey and Phoebe were waiting in the exam room. Phoebe was on the table and her feet were in the stirrups. She looked rather comfortable as they waited for the doctor.
The triplets were in the waiting room playing with some other children who were waiting on their parents.
Phoebe looked at her watch. The doctor was five minutes behind schedule.
Phoebe: Where the hell is she?!
Joey: Phoebe, I'm sure everything's okay. She's probably swamped! Did you see all of those pregnant women out there? Maybe one of them is having a baby.
Phoebe: Joey, you're not helping.
Joey: Oh . . .sorry. She'll be in any minute. You're just nervous.
Phoebe rolled her eyes and rested her head on the pillow. She sighed heavily and put her hand on her stomach. The doctor knocked on the door and walked in.
Doctor: Hi. How are you two today?
Phoebe: Just fine . . . we're nervous.
Joey: Well, she's nervous, I'm calm.
Phoebe: Yeah, whatever . . .
Doctor: Anyway, are you ready to get started?
Phoebe: Let's get this show on the road!
The doctor started the procedure and soon, Phoebe and Joey could see their baby for the first time. The shape of the head was evident and the baby's heart was shown beating healthily.
Doctor: Okay, there's the head, the spine, and . . . do you want to know the baby's sex?
Phoebe looked at Joey and he looked at her.
Joey: What is it?
Doctor: You're having a boy!
Phoebe: A boy! Thank god! Girls are too high maintenance.
Joey looked at the screen, to the doctor, to Phoebe, back to the screen, and back to Phoebe with a smile on his face.
Joey: I'm having a son! A boy!

Monica and Chandler walked down to the apartment of Dave and Jamie. They carried Alex and Ally with them, along with a housewarming gift.
Chandler knocked on the door as he balanced the gift with one arm. Monica stood by with one baby in each arm. Dave answered the door and stared at Monica and Chandler.
Dave: What?
Monica: We just wanted to welcome you to the apartment building.
Dave: Why?
Monica: Because we're nice like that.
Dave: Sorry, we're busy.
Chandler: Oh . . . busy, huh? That's what you call it?
Dave: Uh, yeah . . .
Dave closed the door and Monica and Chandler looked at each other.
Monica: What a jerk!
They walked away from the door with scowls on their faces.
*~*
Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Joey, and Phoebe were sitting in Monica and Chandler's apartment. All of the kids were playing in Ally and Alex's nursery.
Phoebe: Guess what?!
All: What?
Joey and Phoebe looked at each other with smiles on their faces and then back to the rest of the group.
Joey: We're having a boy!
All: Oh wow!/That's great!/Congratulations!
Everybody, once again, like they always did when something exciting happened, piled into a group hug with congratulations to the parents to be.
