Chandler laid in bed that night with his mind in a whirl. He kept playing the events of the day in his head. Kathy had come and told him that he was a father of a little baby boy. She also told him that she wanted them to become a family. He then told her that he didn't have an answer for her and that he had to go. When he left, he went to the park to think about things. It just didn't make sense. Just yesterday, everything was fine and he had no problems. Now he's a father and torn between two women. Kathy had been love of his life before and now she's come back. Monica, on the other hand, was well, He didn't know. They just slept together in London and had been seeing each other since. He couldn't help but think that they could become more serious and come out to the rest of their friends. She was his best friend and they had crossed that line. His thoughts were then interrupted by a soft knock on the door. It opens and Monica appears.

"Hey Chandler." She whispers.

" Hey." He said while motioning for her to lie down next to him.

" So, what did Kathy say?" He took a minute to contemplate if he should tell her everything Kathy said, even the part about them being together.

" Basically, that I'm father of a boy named Michael."

" Wow. She wants you to be apart of his life?"

" Yup."

" So, how you holding up."

" I'm okay now." He pulls her closer and there is a moment of silence.

" Monica, where do you think this relationship is going?" Monica turns to look at him. She's shocked by his forwardness. She always thought that she would be the one to ask that question, not him.

" uhh, I think that we are two friends who care a lot about each other and I'm hoping that we can become more but we can work on our relationship slowly so that you don't turn all `Chandlerish' and run out on me." She says smiling. He pulls he closer and plants a kiss on the top of her head. They finally fall asleep in each other's arms.

"Hey guys." Chandler walks into his apartment the next day and greets Ross and Joey. He grabs a beer and heads to his room.

"Chandler wait," Chandler turns around and faces Joey. " You've been acting really distant all of a sudden. I know you have a lot on your mind with the baby and everything, but is there something else bothering you?"

" Nothing! Nothing at all." He replies rather quickly. " So Ross, what's up with you? Did you here from Emily yet?"

" No. Actually, I was just about to-."

"No!" Joey cuts him off. "Enough of this Emily crap! I'm sorry Ross. I know your hurting right now but all I here about is Emily this, Emily that. Can we please talk about something else right now?" Joey yells. (I didn't really like Emily. Can you tell? jk)

" Fine," Ross pouts. "So what are you gonna do Chandler?"

" I don't want to talk about this right now."

" Awe, come on. You gotta talk about it sometime." Joey says trying to urge him on.

" Fine. I guess I'll call Kathy and try to figure out a way that I can spend some time with my son."

"Okay and about the other thing?" Ross asks.

" What other thing?" Chandler eyes them skeptically.

" Didn't she want you two to give it another try?"

" What? How did you know that?"

" Phoebe told us."

" Phoebe?"

" Yea. She said that she knew because she was psychic but Kathy probably told her."

"Well I don't know what to do about that."

" I think you should go for it. I mean you were a wreck when she left. Now that you have a second chance, you should seize the opportunity. You'll be a family."

" Yea, it's not like there's someone else." Joey and Ross laugh but Chandler has a weird look on his face.

" Dude, is there?"

" Maybe…"

" Who?" Chandler looks at Joey then at Ross.

" Umm, there is this woman from work. We've been friends since…I started working at that company. I've liked her every since we met but we have always been just friends. And now we're a little more than just friends. Everything's still new for us but I think it can lead to something great."

" Hmm…Do you love her?"

" I…I guess I've always loved her deep in my heart but I don't know if she feels the same."

" Do you love Kathy?"

" Well…I did…once. But I don't want my kid to hate me some day because his parents weren't together. It's like I'm keeping the family apart. I dunno what to do."

" Chandler, you know what to do. Alright guys, I gotta go." Ross gets up and leaves, closing the door behind him.

"What the hell does that mean? I don't know what to do. That's why I asked you guys for help." Joey stayed silent.

" The woman is Monica isn't it?"

" What?"

" The person you love is Monica isn't it?"

" How do you know?"

" You told me a while ago that you had a thing for her and you guys have been acting different ever since we came back from London."

" Well congratulations Sherlock, you caught us."

" Who's Sherlock?" Chandler shakes his head. "Anyway, I think you should go for it for Monica. You guys would be great together. Besides, you don't love Kathy anymore. You finally got over her. Just because your not together doesn't mean you can't be a good father to your son."

"Wow, Joe. That's the most sincere thing I ever heard you say."

" Thanks. Now, I bet that sex with Monica is great! Let's talk about that!" Joey grins. Chandler rolls his eyes.
