Next chapter's finally up, I know it took a while but some people cough-my
brother-never get off the computer!!! Ha, ha. Ok, I'll just start it now.
Phoebe had been staying at the hotel for two weeks. Joey missed her like heck, but she didn't really think of him too much. Phoebe had been going out almost every night with Monica and Rachel, who would try and cheer her up. It never did much help, though.
Joey was a mess ever since Phoebe left. The apartment was strewn with clothes, dishes, garbage and anything else you could think of. He wore the same old dirty jeans and shirt day in and day out, never bothering to do laundry, or change. He and Monica hadn't thought of anything fantastic to win back Phoebe, but he was plugging away at it, getting closer each day. Yesterday he had called Phoebe. She didn't seem mad that he did, but she also didn't seem happy.just somewhere in the middle. She had said that she wasn't ready to come back home yet, and it may be weeks or months until she does. Joey had said a quick "I love you" and hung up.
It was Saturday, exactly two weeks since the "incident" and Ross had come over to keep Joey company.
"What should I do, Ross?" asks Joey, eating a slice of pizza.
"I have no idea. When I cheated on Rachel, I didn't do anything.and I didn't get her back. I'm not sure, but you should maybe get your vows renewed, or have a second wedding, or even tell her you want to have a baby with her," suggests Ross.
"A baby? She's always wanted one.that might work. But do you think she'll want to have a child with me, you know, after what happened?"
"It's pretty much a 50/50 chance. But you know, having a child will represent your future together, and it will tell her that you plan on staying with her forever, and being loyal."
"Really? You think it says all that?" asks Joey.
"Sure, of course. I think you should do it, just go for it, and put yourself out there."
"You're right. I'll do it."
"Good. Joe, you could also quit your job," Ross suggests.
"No way, I love my job. Phoebe's just going to have to live with that."
"She won't, though."
"Whatever. I've got to get busy with my plans.unless you want to help, you should go."
Ross leaves.
Joey spent the rest of the day cleaning up the apartment, making sure it was spotless. He was sure Phoebe would be coming home tonight. He bought a big bouquet of tulips, her favourite, and put them on the table, and then he spread rose petals around the entrance to the apartment. The place honestly looked fantastic, anyone would be proud to live there. That night, Joey got all dressed up in his rented tux and made his way over to Phoebe's hotel. He quietly knocks on the door, waiting until there is no answer. He knocks again, and then opens up the door. Phoebe is lying asleep on a couch, not looking very peaceful. Joey gently shakes her to wake up.
"What's happening? Who is it? Joey?" she asks, confused.
"Hey, Pheebs," says Joey.
"Hi. What are you doing here, Joey?" she questions, standing up and straightening up her clothes.
"I came to say this. Phoebe, I love you so much, and it was the biggest mistake of my life when I slept with Courtney. I want us to be together, and if you come back, I promise I will be faithful to you forever. I will do anything so that you'll regain your trust in me, I just want you to come home. I want to work on our relationship, because I see us having our future together. And Phoebe, I came over here tonight to tell you that.I want to have a baby with you."
"Oh, Joey. That's so sweet. I just don't know if I'm ready yet.I would absolutely love to have a child with you, but it's just too soon. I don't want you to betray our child and myself."
"Phoebe, I'm telling you, I'm never going to do that again! Especially not when we have children, I would have so much more to lose. I'm begging you, come home. Even for just one night, see if you can handle it. If you absolutely cannot handle living at home, I'll give you as much time as you need. Just give me this one night," begs Joey.
"The first time you kissed Courtney you told me you'd never do it again. And you did. How am I supposed to believe you?"
"You just have to have faith in me," he replies.
"I'm not sure about that yet. As for tonight, I'll come home. For one night, but no sex or anything.I'll just be staying over as-as a friend, not your wife."
"Ok."
Joey escorts Phoebe out of the hotel. He had the evening perfectly planned- before taking her home, he was taking her out to dinner at a really great place. They caught a cab to the café, where they enjoyed a nice dinner, with no talk of Courtney. Afterwards, they went home, where Phoebe was astounded at how great the place looked.
"Oh, Joey! Did you do all this for me? I love it! Oh, and tulips.I can't believe you remembered they're my favourite!" gushes Phoebe.
"Of course I remember. How could I not?" he says, playfully.
"Just not something that I'd expect from you," she says, breezily.
Joey was about to get on her case for thinking he was completely non- romantic, but remembered quickly that this night was to win her back, not make her even madder. Phoebe opens up a bottle of wine for the two, and they have a really nice evening together. This was exactly the sort of thing that Joey missed, life was always like this back when things were good, and he so desperately wanted that back. Phoebe and Joey finally turned in, at about eleven o'clock. Phoebe slept in the bed, and Joey slept on the couch.
The next morning.
"I haven't slept that good in a long time!" says Phoebe, happily.
"What do you want for breakfast?" asks Joey, happy that this was going so well.
"Oh, doesn't matter, whatever your having."
Joey cooked up a nice breakfast of eggs, pancakes and toast.he would have made bacon, but of course Phoebe wouldn't eat it.
"Yum, this is really great," she says, eating her pancakes.
"I'm glad you like it!" he replies, cheerily.
Phoebe finishes her breakfast, and clears her plate.
"I had a really great time last night. I really missed.well, you, as much as I hate to say it," says she.
Smiling, Joey says,
"So do you want to move back home?"
Yep, another cliffhanger!!! Ha, I just love those. Please review and tell me what you think.I want to know!!! :-) Ok, bye!!!
