Once again, thanks for the reviews. Here's chapter three. Sorry its been so
long.
Chapter 3
"Mon?" Rachel asked while sipping coffee one day.
"Yeah?"
"Can I please set you up on a date?"
"Rach. Haven't we been through this? I don't want to date with Molly at such a young age. What if she got close with him and when it didn't work she would be hurt?"
"Monica, she's 11 months old. Almost speaking."
"I know but."
"No buts. I'm giving you my co-worker's younger brother's number. His name is David and he is a handsome teacher."
"Fine, but only for one date."
"Great."
"Ok that's great. See you at 7:00. Alright. Bye." Monica hung up the phone, after setting up her date, just as Chandler walked in.
"Who was that?"
"Oh. My blind date. Rachel set me up. She'll be babysitting Molly for me."
"Ok. I have to work later than usual anyway," he replied with a hint of sadness in his voice. "Speaking of, where is the MolDoll?"
"In her room, playing with toys."
"Cool. Any words yet?"
"No. Not yet. But she's getting very good at standing all by herself."
"Oh, I better get ready for my date."
"OK. I have to leave for work anyway. Bye," she said as she made her way into her bedroom.
"Bye." He shut the door but a minute later it was opened again by Rachel. She found Molly in her room and brought her out and turned on cartoons.
Fifteen minutes into the show, Monica emerged from her room in a nice black pant suit. She had a little make-up and her half of her hair was French- braided.
"Hey Rach? How do I look?"
"Wow, Mon. You look good. David is gonna love you."
"Thanks. Look at the time, I've got to run. Bye Molly. I love you." She leaned down and kissed her. Molly gave her a wave good-bye and Monica left the apartment.
Around 9:30, she re-entered the apartment. Rachel looked up from her magazine while on the couch. Then, looked at the time.
"Aren't you home a little early? I was thinking you'd be in later."
"The date didn't go so well. He was kinda dull and once I mentioned Molly, he left. So..How was Molly?"
"Perfect as usual. She fell asleep at 7:30"
"Good. That means I have till 5 or six when she'll wake up."
"Yep. I'm ready to sleep. Bye Rach."
"Bye." As soon as Rachel had left, Monica started for her bedroom, but on her way Molly started crying. Monica went in and saw her standing up against the bars of her crib.
"Hey baby doll? What's wrong? Did you miss me?" She leaned over, picked Molly up and gently rocked her.
Monica moved into the living room getting a bottle ready. She sat on the couch as Molly drank her bottle. As she glanced around the apartment, she noticed a picture that she had taken of Molly and Chandler. She looked down at Molly and saw that she wasn't going back to sleep and that her bottle was finished.
"You don't want to go back to sleep huh?" She sat the baby up and burped her and then just let her lay in her arms. Once again her eyes fell on a picture, but this time it was of Her, Chandler and Molly. Rachel had taken it while the entire gang was at the park for a picnic. Molly had just crawled and Monica and Chandler were smiling and laughing. According to Rachel and Phoebe, they looked like a little, happy family. "I wonder if you'll ever get a Daddy Molly. No guy is good enough." Her eyes fell on the picture again, "well maybe there is a guy."
All of a sudden she heard the door open and saw Chandler walk in. "Hey Mon. How was the date?"
"A bomb."
"That sounds great." He replied with a sarcastic tone.
Chandler sat next to Monica and she turned her attention back to Molly who was still wide awake. "So Molly, how about a word because you're so wide awake. Come on you can do it. Say Mama?" Nothing. She just smiled and looked from Monica to Chandler.
"How about Chandler or Chan." She tried. Once again nothing. How come she won't say anything?"
"I don't know. Come on Molly you can do it. Say Mama." Chandler helped.
Molly looked from Chandler to Monica and then back to Chandler. "Dada."
"What?" They both said in unison.
"Dada." Both looked from Molly to each other.
"Well I guess you are the closest thing to a father that she has." Monica started hesitant about what to say.
"Yeah. You can out her to bed if you want. I'll just stay here."
"Ok. Thanks. I'll be only a minute I hope." She stood up with Molly and went to put her daughter down for the night.
Five minutes later Monica came back and sat back down next to Chandler. "Sorry about that."
"That's ok. I mean I know everything a father should know - hell I delivered her."
"I know. That was some day wasn't it?"
"Yeah." They both started laughing remembering that day almost a year ago. In the midst of laughing, They caught eye contact and stared at each other for what seemed like awhile. Slowly, Chandler leaned into kiss her with all his pent up emotions. Surprisingly, she kissed him back with as much passion. As things got heated, Chandler slowly began to unbutton her top.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked as she broke the kiss.
"I've wanted this since you brought Molly home from the hospital." From this she kissed him again and he picked her up, walked to bedroom and shut the door with his foot.
In the morning, Monica woke up in Chandler's strong embrace. She looked up and saw that Chandler was already awake, staring down at her.
"Hey you," he said and kissed her forehead.
"Hi. I had a good time last night."
"Me too. Do you think we should tell everybody about us?"
"Yeah. I want to show you off. How about everyone comes to dinner tonight?"
"Ok. That sounds good, but that's not until later and right now I want to be with you." He said pulling her under the covers.
Later that evening, after dinner the gang sat in Monica's living room. Rachel and Phoebe were on the couch with Molly, Chandler was in the chair near the window, Joey and Ross were in an argument on the floor and Monica was getting a drink. She returned to the living room and sat on Chandler's lap wondering if anyone would notice. Molly saw this and crawled off Rachel's lap and moved over to the chair. She stood against it and held her arms up to Chandler.
"Dada." Chandler and Monica both smiled and Chandler leant down to pick her up. Everyone else was in shock.
"Did you hear her Mon?"
"Yeah she said it last night after you left."
"Well, why didn't you tell us earlier?"
"We we're gonna tell you tonight along with."
"We?" Joey asked interrupting her.
"Yes. Chandler and I. He was here when she said it and we also have to say something else."
"Yeah. Monica and I have decided to date."
"Oh. That's so great," Rachel yelled.
"It's about time," Phoebe replied.
"Yeah it is," Chandler said pulling Monica and Molly closer to him. These two girls were his life and he would to anything to protect them.
After everyone had left and Molly was asleep, Monica and Chandler were lying in bed almost asleep. "Monica?'
"Yeah?" She said half asleep.
"Are you ever gonna tell Molly about her real dad?"
"I don't know. I mean she deserves to know and if I didn't tell her I would have so much guilt built up inside. Her real father doesn't even know about her, but I think that when she's old enough I'll tell her."
"Oh."
"Why?"
"I don't know. Juts wondering."
"Chandler, she will be calling you her daddy he whole life. You are her dad. You can adopt her so we can officially say that you are her father. And right now even though it doesn't say that you're her father you are. You are the only father she's ever known and if you're afraid that she won't call you dad when she finds out you're wrong."
"Really?"
"Yes." At that moment Molly started crying and Monica started to get up to get her.
"No, no Mon. You stay here. I'll get her." He kissed her and got out of bed. He got her bottle and walked into the nursery. Molly was standing in her crib with a tear-stained face. Once she saw Chandler and her bottle she smiled and yelled out "Dada." He picked her up and sat in the rocking chair giving Molly her bottle.
"You know Molly, you are the cutest baby I know. I know where you get your looks. Those are definitely from your mom. And even thought I'm not you're biological daddy I'm the closest thing you got to one. And I'm gonna be the best dad to you and if you're lucky any brothers or sisters you mom and I may cook up. I'm hoping to become you're legal dad but we might have to wait a little. But no matter what I am to you don't doubt that I don't love you because I do. I love you and I love your mom so much. Even though I love her in a totally different way, but don't tell her that." He looked down and saw that Molly had finished her bottle and was asleep. He kissed her on the head and placed her back in the crib. He gently closed the door and made his way back into Monica's room. Monica was still awake and once Chandler reached the bed she kissed him passionately.
Chandler broke the kiss and asked, "What was that for?
"For being the best dad ever to Molly and any other kids you and I may cook up," she replied with a big grin in her face.
"You heard?"
"Yeah. Through the baby monitors and I'm very happy that I did."
"Why's that?
"Because I got to hear the real Chandler Bing."
"Well if you heard then you must have hear this. I love you."
"I love you too Chandler." They kissed and then fell asleep together dreaming of the future and what was to come.
That's Chapter three. There's only one more chapter and the epilogue left. Review please.
