"Hey, Mon! I think that Chris needs a change of diaper over here." Chandler walked in the nursery, carrying a two month old baby boy in his arms. The baby, even if he was the normal size and weight for a baby his age, seemed small in Chandler's arms. He had the same black hair as his mother, and his blue/green eyes seemed to sparkle with tears since no one was giving him his pacifier or changing his diaper.
Monica turned to Chandler and sighed as she picked up a two month old baby girl in her arms and kissed her forehead. "Well, honey, you do it, then. Melissa's still wide awake."
At the response that he would have to do it, Chandler wrinkled his nose. "Eww. But diapers are..yucky."
"Please, Chandler, it's your own child's diaper."
"That doesn't make it better, Monica." Sighing, he smiled at Christian before putting him down on his changing table. "But us guys have to stick together, right buddy?"
Even if she wasn't saying anything, Monica still watched how Chandler changed their baby boy's diaper. Both of them had known that Monica was going to have twins, but they hadn't told any of their friends in fear that, since Monica's uterus wasn't strong enough, they would miscarry would one of them. But of the babies had been born healthy and perfect: they were their baby angels. Melissa looked up at her mother with wide blue eyes as she sucked on her fist. They were both a mixture of their parents, but Melissa's hair was like Daddy's and Christian's was like Mommy's. To Monica and Chandler, they were their pride and joy.
When Chandler finished changing Christian, he grinned proudly and picked him up. "Aha! I finally figured it out! See, buddy, told you that Daddy could change a diaper." Smiling, he kissed his forehead but he whispered, smiling slightly, "just please don't make him do it again.?"
Monica, hearing this, shook her head and kissed Melissa's forehead before rocking her gently to sleep since it was time for their afternoon nap. It was around two in the afternoon and they would get a nice nap. As the twins started to fall asleep in their arms, Monica smiled at Chandler and kissed him lightly. "I love you."
Chandler smiled and kissed her again. "Oh, I love you too, sweetheart." Smiling, he kissed her once more and, when two small and soft sighs were heard, they knew that the babies were fast asleep. When they saw this, both Monica and Chandler grinned proudly and carefully put them down in their cribs before starting to walk out. Since the kids wouldn't wake for a while, this was the time when the six friends would meet in Central Perk for a little while so, after the baby sitter got there, they all headed there.
When they got there, they saw the usual scene: Ross and Rachel sitting on the orange couch, Joey sitting on one side chair that was to the left and Phoebe sitting on the side couch that was to the right. Joey's leg was getting better, but his cast was still on with the exception that he was now using a cast brace that helped him walk even with the cast on. It was uncomfortable, but he was getting used to it. With Phoebe, it was obvious that she was pregnant but, after many tests, it was confirmed that she was only having one baby. She didn't want to know what it was going to be, and neither did Joey, so no one knew. Joey had been wonderful over the past few months, and had helped in everything he could, but neither of them dared to make the first move and tell each other how they felt for each other.
"Phoebe? H- Hi."
As both Chandler and Monica were taking their seats after saying hi to all of them, the voice brought all of the conversations to a halt. Phoebe turned to the person who was the owner of that voice and looked at the person in shock. "Mike? What are you doing here?"
Mike smiled slightly, now awkward that he saw Phoebe's belly that showed that she was pregnant. "I. I wanted to see you, see how you were. How- How are you?"
"Good; I'm. I'm good. How have you been?"
Since everyone was staring at him, Mike swallowed uncomfortably and smiled slightly at Phoebe. "Can we talk? In private?"
Phoebe turned to look at all of them and nodded very slightly. When Joey wouldn't get up from his chair, Phoebe sighed and whispered to him. "Please, Joey, I'll be fine."
Chandler, seeing that Joey wouldn't get up, sighed and went to him, "Joe, come on, let's go get some coffee or.something to eat."
Joey frowned at him. "I'm not going anywhere, Chandler."
Smiling at Phoebe, Chandler grabbed Joey by his arm and made him stand to drag him out. Phoebe smiled gratefully at him before turning to Mike, who was staring at her belly. "What, Mike?"
"Y- You're pregnant?"
"Oh, yeah. Yeah, I am."
"Is it-."
"What, is it your baby? Would it really make a difference? You didn't want a family anyway."
This was a big blow to Mike, who had to take a hold of the couch so he wouldn't fall back. "So it *is* my baby?"
Phoebe frowned at him. "I never said that."
"Phoebe, come on. That's my baby, isn't it? Was that why you were asking me about the whole family stuff?"
"Mike, don't do this."
"I'm sorry, Phoebe, but you're still not going to change my ideas about families and marriages. I do *not* want to get married. Especially if it's just for a baby."
At that, Phoebe stood up straight and put a hand protectively on her stomach. "This baby is not yours, Mike."
Mike frowned, walking closer to her. "Then? Whose baby is it?"
"It's mine."
Phoebe and Mike turned around to see Joey limping towards them from the other table by the window where the rest of them were. At the response, Mike scoffed and shook his head. "Yeah, right, Joey. You're just lying to cover up that that *is* my baby."
Phoebe shook her head after a short while and took Joey's hand when he offered it. "No, this baby's Joey's. I'm sorry, Mike, but you were right. I can't change your idea of a family. And you were never able to change mine, either."
Joey smiled and put his free hand on top of Phoebe's; the one that had been on top of her belly. "And now, we're a family."
Mike, seeing this, frowned. "So after I told you that I didn't want a family, you left and you went to 'lover boy' over here?"
Joey frowned. "Hey! That's *Mr.* Lover Boy to you, pal."
"You know what; this doesn't concern you, Tribbiani, so stay out of it."
"No, this *does* concern me, Mike."
"How? Oh, that's right, you slept with my girlfriend."
"*Ex* girlfriend, jackass."
"Stay out of it, Joey, this is between Phoebe and me. It's none of your business."
Upset, Joey grabbed Mike by the collar of his shirt and jerked him quickly towards him; frowning. "I'll *make* it my business if you feel that way, then."
Mike was about to throw a punch at him so he would let him go, but he was stopped by Ross, who was frowning at him, and Chandler was also standing next to Joey; the three of them glaring at him. At that, Mike frowned and, when Joey pushed him away, he frowned deeply at all of them. "Fine. I hope you and your little family is happy, Phoebe."
As he left, they all went to Phoebe and they all helped her sit down. When she was about to say something, Phoebe's face got filled with pain, and she let out a loud groan as she put her hands on her belly. At that, they all jumped back at once in surprise and worry; thinking that they had been the ones that caused it. "Phoebe? Phoebe, what's wrong? What happened?"
Phoebe shook her head and talked; her voice shaky and filled with fear. "I don't know, guys. I- I think that- that my water broke. And- And something else happened in there, but I don't k- know what."
At that, Joey looked at her in concern. "What?! Pheebs, the baby's not due in a month and a half!"
"Well not anymore!"
Ross and Rachel helped Phoebe up. "It's ok, Pheebs, come on, let's get you to the hospital."
Worried, they all hurried outside to catch a cab and to get to the hospital quickly; hoping that Phoebe would be ok and that the baby would be as well.
