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 11: Meet My Dad
Monica and Chandler were seated on the plane waiting for it to take off. Monica looked over at Chandler. She could tell he was nervous about this whole trip. She reached over and took his hand giving it a gentle squeeze. "Thank you Mon" he whispered. "For what honey" she asked. "For coming with me" he told her. "There's no thanks needed sweeite I told you I love you and I'd do anything for you" she whispered. "I love you too Mon" he answered. "I know" she said softly as she laid her head on his shoulder.
Several hours later they arrived in Las Vegas. They checked into a room at Ballys and headed to the club where Chandler's father performed. Monica giggled. "Wow its really called Veva Lasgayges" she said pointing to the large neon sign. Chandler sighed "Oh yeah that's what its really called" he answered. He took Monica's hand and they went inside.
Chandler instantly felt uncomfortable. Most of the tables were filled with men cuddled close together and holding hands and the waitresses were all drag queens. Monica senesced that he was uncomfortable. She squeezed his hand softly. "Its okay honey I'm here" she said gently. He gave her a small smile as they sat down at a corner table.
A waitress came over and asked them if they'd like a drink. Chandler nodded and said he wanted a beer. Monica really wanted a scotch on the rocks with a twist but she didn't want to harm the baby in anyway so she just asked for a diet coke. Music began to play and the curtain on the stage opened to reveal a line of men in tight yellow shorts and rain hats and then a woman in an evening gown came out singing *Its Raining Men* Monica leaned over "So which one is your dad" she asked Chandler. "My dad is the one who looks like Kathleen Turner"
he mumbled. "Oh my God" Monica giggled.
Chandler's father came off the stage and started going around to the tables. Chandler suddenly got very nervous. "I...I can't do this Mon lets go" he whispered as he stood up. "Oh look a standing ovation" Helena said as he walked over to their table. He froze when he saw who it was. "Umm hi dad" Chandler whispered. Helena told the guys on stage to take five and led Chandler and Monica to his dressing room. "Chandler what...what are you doing here" he asked.
Chandler took a deep breath. "I...I wanted you to meet Monica" he said taking her hand. "She's my fiancée" he told him. Helena stared at him in shock. "You're...you're getting married" he asked. Chandler nodded "Yes and we're having a baby" he said. Helena sat down. "Oh my God" he whispered. Chandler looked at his father and then at Monica. "See Mon I told you he wouldn't care" he told her. He then looked at his father. "Its okay dad you don't have to say anything you haven't said anything for the last 20 years of my life so why should now be any different and I know I'll never hurt Monica or our baby they way you hurt mom and I" he spat out.
Monica gasped "Chandler calm down" she said softly. "No its okay Monica I deserved that" Helena whispered. "He's right I was a lousy father" he looked at his son. "Chandler do you love Monica or are you marrying her because you got her pregnant" he asked. "I love her dad I love her more than I've ever loved anyone and she makes me happier than thought I could ever be that's why I'm marrying her and the reason I came here was to invite you to the wedding but you don't have to come I'll be just fine with out you." he snapped.
Helena sighed softly. "I'm sorry Chandler but I had to ask I didn't want you making the same mistake I did" he whispered. Chandler stared at him "Are...are you saying that I was a mistake" Chandler asked angry tears filling his eyes. "No son of course not but marrying your mother was" he said. "I met your mother when we were in college we were bestfriends one night we went to a college party we both got really drunk and ended up in bed together then a few weeks later she came to me telling me she was pregnant with you" he said. " I was scared Chandler I didn't know what to do I loved her but I wasn't in love with her a part of me always knew I was gay but I though marrying your mother was the right thing to do" he whispered.
Chandler looked at him. "So I did ruin your life" he whispered sadly. "Because of me you had to pretend to be something you weren't" he added. "No Chandler you didn't ruin my life your mom and I never had much of a marriage she spent most of her time writing her novels and me well you know what I was doing" Helena told him. "Yeah the pool boy" Chandler said smiling a little. Helena smiled. "I was a terrible father, and I know I wasn't around much but I've always loved you Chandler because you're my son" he said with tears in his eyes.
Chandler had tears in his eyes too. "I love you too dad" he said hugging his father for the first time in 20 years. "Come to the wedding Monica and I would really like you to be there" Chandler whispered. Helena smiled "I wouldn't miss it for the world" he said. "I know you're all grown up but I'd like to be your dad again I want to be in you, Monica and the baby's lives if you'll let me" he added. Monica and Chandler smiled and the both said "We'd like that" and hugged him.
Later that night Chandler and Monica were in their hotel room. Chandler laid in bed with Monica nestled in his arms. "Thank you Monica" he whispered. "I'm glad you got me to come" he added. "You're welcome honey I'm glad you worked things out with your dad" she said softly. "Me too" he answered. "I love you Monica Geller Bing" he said kissing her softly. She smiled "I'm not Mrs. Bing yet" she giggled. "I know but doesn't it sound good" he said. "No it sounds wonderful" she said. "I love you too Chandler Bing always" she said as she kissed him. Chandler smiled. He was marrying Monica in a matter of weeks they were having a baby and his father was in his life again. "Could I be any luckier" he whispered. Monica smiled "Oh I think you could" she giggled as she began to kiss him.
