Chapter 2: Telling The Truth



Chandler sat down on the bed beside. "Mon, sweetie is everything okay" he asked. Monica sighed softly. "No Chandler, not really" she whispered. "Honey what's wrong" he asked. She pulled out the pregnancy test from her robe pocket and showed it to him. He looked at it and smiled. "We're gonna have a baby" he whispered. She nodded her eyes filling with tears. "Isn't this a good thing" he asked upon seeing her tears.




Monica got up and walked over to her dresser. She looked at the wedding picture sitting on it. Both her and Chandler were smiling. Chandler got up and crossed the room to her. "Monica what's wrong I thought you'd be happy you wanted to have a baby for so long" he said as he wrapped his arms around her. Monica stood there silently for awhile "I had a baby" she spat out. Chandler pulled away from her. He looked at her. "You what!" he asked "When, with who" he questioned. She looked at him. "With you" she whispered. "Me!" he spat out. "How can you stand there and lie Monica don't you think I'd remember having a child with you" he said as he stormed out of the bedroom.




Monica followed him out to the living room. "Chandler please I'm not lying just give me a chance to explain" she pleaded. He looked at her. "Tell me this then if we had a baby where is it huh Monica what did you do abort it because you thought I'd freak out" he asked. Monica was crying now. "No Chandler I'd never do that " she cried. "Please come back in the bedroom so I can tell you everything okay" she pleaded. Chandler sighed. "Alright, fine" he said waking back to the bedroom and sitting down on the bed.





Monica sat down beside him. "Chandler do you remember what happened between us on Christmas Eve back in 1988" she asked. Chandler nodded. "It was the first time we made love" he whispered. "Well about a month later I found out I was pregnant" she said softly. He looked at her with wide eyes. "Oh my God your first time and I knock you up" he whispered. "How come you never told me" he asked. " I wanted to but I was afraid of what you'd say or do so I just hid it from everyone but my mom found out" she answered. Chandler saw her eyes filling with tears again. "What did she do to you" he asked gently. "She forbid me from telling you about the baby or from seeing you again" she told him. "She made me go away with her" she whispered.





Monica looked at him "Our little girl was born a month early on July 15th 1989 I heard her cry but I never got to see her, I went to the nursery and asked for baby girl Bing but she wasn't there" she whispered as she began to cry. "Baby girl Bing" Chandler whispered. "Yeah I insisted she have your last name" she said. " I went back to my room and my mom told me my baby had died" she cried. "I know I had plenty of opportunities over the years to tell you about our baby girl and I don't know why I didn't " she whispered. "I love you Chandler with all my heart but I won't blame you if you want to walk out and never look back" she said softly.




Chandler gently brushed away Monica's tears. "Mon I can't say I'm not upset but I can say I love you" he whispered. "I'm not leaving you not now, not ever" he said. She looked up at him her eyes still misty with tears. "What about the baby" she asked. "What about it" he replied. "Do you ....do you want it" she asked. Chandler wrapped his arms around her. "Of course I do" he whispered kissing the top of her head.



Ross walked into the apartment. "Mon, Chandler you guys home" he called out. Chandler stood up and helped Monica to her feet. "We're here Ross" Chandler answered as they walked out to the living room. Ross smiled "Hey Mon, Mom called she wants us to come over this afternoon and help clean out the attic" he told her. "Mom says that way we can take what we want so it doesn't get thrown out." he added. Monica nodded. "Okay let me get dressed" she said as she went back to her room.



A few minutes later the three of them headed to Long Island to the Gellers.
