Chapter 3: Moving Day
Monica sighed sadly as she snuggled closer to Chandler. This was the last night they'd ever spend falling asleep together in this bedroom. Tomorrow they were moving into their new house. She loved the house. It had a fireplace in the master bedroom plus there were 4 other bedroom. Daniel would get his own room, the twins would share one, one would be a nursery for the new baby and the remaining bedroom would be a guest room. The basement they were turning into playroom for the kids and Chandler he would finally get his game room. There was a big back yard where they could have big barbecues with the gang. The kitchen was Monica's dream kitchen complete with an island in the middle. It was the prefect house but she was going to miss the apartment she'd lived in since she was 21. The apartment that held so many wonderful memories.
She laid there for hours just thinking about how hard it would be to say goodbye to this wonderful place she called home for the last 15 years. Chandler laid beside her thinking the same thing this apartment had felt like home to him even before he moved in with Monica. He was going to miss it as much as she was.
The next morning Ross, Rachel, Joey and Phoebe came to help them move. "I can't believe you're really moving" Joey whined. "I love this apartment" he whimpered. "Remember when we had that contest to see who knew each other better and Monica bet the apartment" Joey said sadly. "Yeah we won and it drove Monica crazy" Chandler said. "Then Rachel and Monica kissed for one minute to get the apartment back" Joey said with a small grin. "Dude that's my sister and my wife "Ross protested. "Hey remember how we always watched ugly naked guy from this window" Phoebe said. "Yeah and Ross saw Mon and I making out from over there" Chandler answered.
Rachel looked around the nearly empty apartment. "I remember the day I moved in here I ran into Central Perk wearing my wedding gown, Monica took me in she gave me a home" she whispered. "I sat in this kitchen and cut up all my credit cards" she said her eyes misty with tears. "We had our first kiss here Rach remember" Ross said. She nodded "Yes we were watching Monica and I's prom video" she said softly. "Remember the Thanksgiving Underdog got away Rachel thought Monica had the keys and Monica thought Rachel had them and dinner got ruined so we ate grilled cheese sandwiches" Phoebe giggled.
"What about that New Year's Party Mon had that one year, I dumped Janice for like the third time and Pheebs said goodbye to David the science guy" Chandler said. Monica smiled "Then there was the New Year's party we made all those resolutions, Rachel said she'd gossip less, Ross bet Chandler he couldn't give up teasing us, Pheebs tried to teach Joey how to play guitar and Pheebs wanted to fly a jet" she said with a grin. Ross walked over to the wall near the refrigerator "This is where Monica banged my son's head" he said. "Monica bang" Rachel giggled. "We put rainy day bear's hat on his head" she added.
Phoebe smiled "Joey proposed to me here when he thought I was pregnant" she giggled. "Yeah baby" Joey said with a grin. "We all sat here and watched Joey's first appearance on Days together" Rachel whispered. "Yeah and we all sat here and listened to Ross's horrible bagpipe playing" she chuckled. "Oh do you guys remember the first time Chandler proposed to Monica we were all here together and he came in looking for Monica" Ross said. "Yeah he got down on one knee and proposed" Rachel said. "He said he talked to Ross and Joey I said what 2 divorces and Joey" Monica giggled. "I still say that was a cheap shot" Ross whined.
Chandler smiled "I can't believe I did that" he giggled "You did get it right though honey" Monica said kissing him softly. "I know" he said. "I came in here thinking I'd lost you but there you were standing in the middle of the apartment filled with candles you started to propose but you said there was a reason girls don't do this so I knelt down with you and asked you to be my wife" he whispered.
Monica began to cry. She got up and went out to the balcony. She sat on the ledge and looked across the way at Ross and Rachel's apartment. She covered her face with her hands as she began to cry harder. She jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Chandler standing there. "Mon, sweeite are you okay" he asked softly. "No" she whispered. "How can we say goodbye to this place Chandler" she cried. "How can we go with out seeing Joey, Pheebs, Ross, and Rachel everyday and ...and when we look out our window we won't see Ross's apartment anymore" she whimpered.
Chandler sat down on the ledge beside her . "I know Monica it will be hard at first but we'll be okay we have each other and you always said we could get through anything as long as we had each other" he said gently. "I know but I mean you asked me to live with you in this apartment, you asked me to be your wife in this apartment and our kids were conceived here" she whispered. Chandler smiled "Except for this one" he giggled as he gently rubbed her small stomach.
Monica smiled "Yeah you were pretty frisky that night" she giggled setting her hand on top of his. "Me no you were the frisky one honey" he answered. "Yeah well I didn't hear you complaining" she giggled. "Hey I never complain when I get to have sex" he said with a smile. "Do you think Ross knows we had sex in his office on his desk" Monica giggled. "Hey its his fault, that awards dinner was soo boring" Chandler said with a smile. Monica laid her head on his shoulder. "Thank you Chandler" she whispered. "For what" he asked. "For coming out here and cheering me up" she said.
Rachel came out. "Umm guys I didn't mean to interrupt but the movers are here for the furniture" she said softly. "Okay" Monica whispered as she stood up. Chandler stood up too. They went inside.
Sometime later the apartment was now empty. Chandler and Monica stood inside looking around one last time. Monica walked over to the wall near her bedroom. She carefully took down the wedding picture that hung there. She held it close to her chest.
She sighed softly as the memories played before her. She saw Rachel walk over to Ross and kiss him. She saw her, Phoebe, and Rachel sitting around in their pajamas drinking, eating cookie dough and talking. She saw Phoebe finding out she was pregnant and all of them hugging and jumping around happily. She saw herself jump off the couch into Chandler's arms when he asked her to live with him. She saw her and Rachel fighting and then making up on the day Chandler moved in. She saw Chandler proposing to her after their first fight. She saw Chandler proposing to her in the middle of all the candlelight. She saw the Thanksgiving when Ross's old friend Will came and the Thanksgiving when Rachel's bratty sister came over and Chandler broke her good china.
Monica brushed away her tears as the memories continued to play. She saw Chandler dressed as Santa, Ross dressed as an armadillo and Joey dressed as Superman teaching Ben the story of Hanukkah. She saw Chandler dressed as a pink bunny and Ross dressed as doodie arm wrestling at the kitchen table. She saw herself frantically trying to make candy for the neighbors. She saw the apartment filled with wedding presents and her opening them all with out Chandler. She saw Chandler kiss her and then kiss Rachel and Phoebe as he left while they were sneaking around. She saw her and Chandler pull Joey into her bedroom and beg him to keep their secret. She saw Ross playing the bagpipes badly. She saw Chandler telling Joey he could be the minister. She saw herself telling Chandler about each one of her pregnancies. She saw Daniel and the girls taking their first steps.
Chandler walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. She turned around and buried her face in his chest. They stayed that was for awhile. Monica pulled away. "I guess we better go" she whispered. Chandler nodded he took her hand as they walked to the door. They looked around one last time as they closed the door on all the laughter, tears, joy, happiness and sadness that had filled that apartment over the course of 15 years.
