I was watching reruns from season 2 and got the idea for this AU fic.
This is an AU fic. It starts right around TOW Heckles Dies. There never was a Julie so Ross and Rachel are dating. Chandler did date Janice but he doesn't get back together with her and he never dates Kathy . Monica never dates Pete or Richard. (I'm a die hard C/M fan and hated seeing them with other people! LOL) Chandler and Joey live together as do Monica and Rachel.

Title: Secret Love
Chapter 8: Christmas Surprises
Monica sighed happily as she stood at the window watching the snow fall. It was almost Christmas. It would be the first one with Chandler. She pulled herself away from the window and went to the bedroom. She went to the closet and pulled out the boxes of Christmas decorations. She dragged them out to the living room where the bare Christmas tree stood.
Chandler was at Central Perk. Phoebe walked in. "Hey Chandler" she said sitting next to him. He smiled "Hey Pheebs" he answered. "So whatcha getting Monica for Christmas" she asked curiously. "I'm glad you asked because I need your help" he said. "Oh yay what is it" she asked excitedly. "Well I want to ask Monica to marry me" he said softly. "Wow!" Phoebe shrieked. "So what do you need me to do" she asked with a smile. "I want you to go with me to find the prefect engagement ring" he replied. "Yay! I'm so there, lets go" she said pulling him up.
Rachel arrived at Monica's. "Hey Mon" she said with a smile. "Hey Rachel" Monica replied. "Would you help me string the popcorn for the tree" she asked. "Sure" Rachel said sitting down at the table with her. "So did you figure out what to get Chandler yet" she asked. Monica shook her head. "No do you know what you're getting Ross" she asked. Rachel smiled "Well I'm getting him Jurassic Park its like his favorite movie and I'm" She stopped when she saw Monica run to the bathroom.
Monica flushed the toilet and leaned against the tub. Her eyes filled with tears. The last couple of days she'd been nauseous, tired, and a little dizzy. At first she thought it was the flu but now she had other ideas. She feared she may be pregnant. Rachel heard her crying softly. "Mon, hun are you okay" she asked. She looked up at her friend. "Oh Rachel what am I gonna do" she cried. "About what" Rachel asked sitting down next to her. Monica looked at her. "You have to swear you won't repeat a word of this to anyone" she said. "I promise Mon" she whispered.
Monica took a deep breath. "I...I think I'm pregnant" she whispered. "I don't understand I mean Chandler and I we're always careful" she added. Rachel hugged her friend. "Oh sweeite nothing is full proof" she said softly. "I've always wanted a baby Rachel but Chandler and I have only been together for about a year and living together for a couple months" she whispered. "Monica before you get too worried why don't you find out for sure" Rachel suggested. Monica nodded as she dug around under the sink pulling out a pregnancy test.
Ten minutes later they heard the timer ding. Monica slowly rose from the couch and disappeared into the bathroom. A few minutes later she returned in tears. "Its...its positive" she cried. Rachel stood up and hugged her. "Oh honey it'll be okay" she whispered. "Now you have a present for Chandler" she said trying to cheer her up.
Chandler and Phoebe were in a jewelry store. "Oh look at that civil war sword" Phoebe exclaimed. "Yeah nice" Chandler mumbled his eyes fixed on a stunning ring with a diamond snuggled in between two sapphires. "Pheebs I think I found it" he said. Phoebe forgot about the sword and focused on the ring that he was pointing out. "Wow! Its gorgeous" she squealed. Chandler asked to see the ring. He looked at the jeweler "Could you hold out the ring and ask me to marry you" he asked. The jeweler looked at him strangely but he did as he was asked. Chandler smiled "That's it! That's Monica's ring" he said full of excitement.
Later that night the gang was over at Chandler and Monica's decorating the tree and listening to Christmas music. Chandler kept glancing at Monica. She was sure he knew. She was terrified that her pregnancy would cause her to lose the love of her life. She sighed softly as they wrapped the popcorn strings around the tree.
Chandler was so excited about his Christmas gift he wanted to tell everyone. He pulled Rachel to the side. " I want to tell you something but not a word to Mon" he told her as he reached into his pocket. He showed Rachel the ring. "Oh my God is that what I think it is" she whispered. He nodded. "Yes but I need you guys to help me". He went on to tell Rachel of his plan for a Christmas Eve proposal.
Chandler showed Joey the ring and he had to cover Joey's mouth to keep him from screaming out. He filled him in on his proposal idea and Joey agreed to help. Ross was the last one to tell. Chandler approached him nervously. "Umm Ross can I talk to you for a minute" he asked. "Yeah what's up" he replied. He pulled out the ring and showed it to him. Ross smiled. "Dude this is so sudden" he giggled. "Ha ha Ross, its for Monica I'm gonna ask her to marry me on Christmas Eve" Ross was silent for a minute. "Dude that's great we're gonna be brothers in laws" he said. "So you're okay with this" Chandler asked. He nodded. "Of course" he replied. Chandler filled him in on the plan too.
A few weeks later its Christmas Eve. Monica spent the last few weeks doing her best to hide her pregnancy from everyone especially Chandler. It was Rachel's job to keep Monica busy while the others got everything set up. "Come on Mon I wanna go shopping" Rachel whined. "I still need to get something for Chandler" she said. It was true he was always the hardest one to buy for. Monica sighed "Okay fine" she said standing up and grabbing her purse.
Chandler, Joey, Phoebe and Ross left Joey's apartment and went across the hall to Chandler and Monica's. "Okay Joey, Ross you guys start lighting the candles" Chandler said as he went into the bedroom and changed into black slacks, a dark blue shirt and a black jacket and tie. He came back out to the living room. Phoebe whistled. "Lookin hot Mr. Bing!" Chandler blushed "Thanks Pheebs." He said softly. "Okay which song do you like better 98 degrees *This Gift* or Mariah Carey's *All I Want Forr Christmas Is You*" Phoebe asked. Chandler looked at the two cds in her hands. "Umm I pick 98 Degrees" he replied.
Chandler looked around the room. It was prefect. Candles were lit all over the room. The Christmas tree and the lights around the windows were lit up too. On the coffee table sat two vases of Roses. He thanked his friends as they left.
A few minutes later Monica walked in to find the apartment lit up by dozens of candles and Christmas lights. Then she saw Chandler standing in the middle of it all holding one long stem rose. "Chandler" she whispered. "What's all this" she asked. He smiled "Monica" he whispered. "I love you" he said as he turned on the cd player and the voices of 98 Degrees filled the room. Monica smiled "Aww I love this song" she whispered.
Chandler walked over to Monica and knelt down on one knee. "Monica this year has been the best year of my life you've made me happier than I thought I could ever be and if you'll let me I want to spend the rest of my life making you as happy as you've made me" he paused. "Monica Geller will you marry me" he asked as he slid the ring on her finger.
Monica gasped as her eyes filled with tears. She wanted to say yes but she was afraid if he found out about the baby he'd change his mind. She stood up and silently walked over to the Christmas tree. She dug through the gifts till she found the one she was looking for. She walked over to Chandler. She handed it to him. "I love you Chandler but I can't say yes until you open this" she whispered. He looked at it and then at her. "Mon tomorrow is Christmas" he whispered. "I...I know but I want you to open this one now" she said.
Chandler still wasn't sure what was going on or why this gift determined the answer to his proposal but he went ahead and opened it. He ripped off the paper and let it fall to the floor. "Chandler!" Monica said picking up the paper. He smiled at her. He opened the small flat box and looked inside. He looked at the contents for several minutes before looking up at Monica. "Monica" he whispered. "Is this, are we" he asked. Monica nodded. "I'm pregnant Chandler" she whispered. "I didn't know how to tell you so Rachel gave me the sonogram idea" she said beginning to cry softly.
Chandler hugged her. "I love you Mon" he whispered. "This is the bet Christmas present I've ever gotten" he added. "Really" Monica asked. He smiled "Of course it is we're gonna have a baby" he said excitedly. "There's still one thing missing" he said. "What's that" she asked. "You saying you'll marry me" he said smiling. "Yes Chandler yes" she cried as she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him.
Joey poked his head in. "Can we come in now, we're dying out here" he whined. Monica nodded. "We're engaged" she squealed as Joey, Ross, Rachel, and Phoebe came in. Chandler smiled "and we're pregnant" he added. The group smiled and bombarded Chandler and Monica with hugs. "Umm guys this can't be good for the baby" Monica giggled. "I'm gonna be an uncle!" Ross said excitedly. "Me too!" Joey said. "Yeah well I'm the only one related by blood" he said. Joey stuck his tongue out at Ross.
Chandler smiled "No fighting boys you're both gonna be uncles" he told them. "And Pheebs and Rachel are both gonna be aunts" Monica added. "This is the best Christmas ever!" Phoebe exclaimed "Chandler and Monica are getting married, having a baby and Joey asked me out!" she giggled. "Yeah baby" Joey
said grinning.
Monica smiled. Phoebe was right. This is the best Christmas. She had Chandler and soon she'd have the baby she's wanted since forever. She sighed softly. She just hoped her parents and Chandler's parents would be as happy as their friends were.
Chapter 9:Telling The Folks...Will Judy, Jack, and Nora be happy about their kids news?...Coming Soon!
