I got the idea for this fic while watching the local news here in Chicago.
They were talking about some deadly weather that hit parts of Illinois,
Kansas, Minnesota, Indiana, and Oklahoma and I was thinking that Chandler
was working in Oklahoma so maybe I could make a story out of it.
This fic takes place in the present. Chandler and Monica are married. Chandler didn't quit his job in Tulsa and they never went to a fertility clinic. Monica has just found out she's pregnant but hasn't told Chandler yet. Rachel is living with Joey but she's dating Ross and Phoebe is dating Joey. Charlie doesn't exist in this fic.

Chapter 5: Mind Games
"Chandler" Ross said. "How'd you know my name" he asked. Chandler looked at him. "What do you mean" he asked. "You...you said my name but I never said my name" he said. Chandler was confused. "I did" Ross nodded. "Could I be more confused" Chandler mumbled. Both Joey and Ross looked at him. "What am I drooling or something" he asked when he noticed them staring at him. "What, oh no its just what you just said it" Ross stopped "Its nothing" he said.
Joey hated this. He wanted his bestfriend back. "I...I'm gonna go check on Pheebs" he said hurrying from the room. "Pheebs" Chandler asked "Who's that" Ross sighed softly. "She's a friend of ours" he told him. "Oh" Chandler whispered.
Dr. Clooney walked in. "Hello Chandler are you feeling any better" he asked. Chandler shrugged. "I have a wife and friends I can't remember but other than that I'm just peachy" he said sarcastically. "I know its frustrating but give yourself some time" the doctor told him. "Try to get some rest and I'll send Piper in later to check on you later." He said leaving the room. "I'm gonna go to Chandler but we'll all be right outside." Ross said as he left too.
Chandler was alone again. He yawned and glanced down at the gold wedding ring on his finger as he dozed off. He woke up sometime later all sweaty and the sheets were twisted up. He had a nightmare about tornadoes. He was trying to get away from one. He was running down a long hallway holding on to a woman's hand. It had seemed so real. The door opened and Piper walked in. "Hey you're awake" she said. "I..I dreamt about a tornado" he told her. "I...I was trying to get away from one and there was a woman with me" he said. "It seemed so real" he added.
Piper sat down in the chair by his bed. "That's because it was" she whispered. "That's how you got here" she said. "Some workers clearing away the debris found you" Chandler looked at her. "and the woman was she real too" he asked. She nodded. "Yes but she didn't make it" she told him. "Oh" he whispered. Monica stuck her head in "Is it okay if I come in" she asked. "Of course" Piper answered as she got up leaving the couple alone.
Chandler watched her walk in and over to him. She was so beautiful and sweet he wanted to remember her so badly. "Hi honey" she said softly. "You okay" he asked when he noticed how pale she looked. She wanted to tell him about the baby but she knew she couldn't. "Umm yeah it was a rough flight that's all" she whispered. "Flight you mean we don't live here" he asked. "No we live in New York" she said. "So how long have we umm been together" he asked. "We've been together for five years and married for...for two" she whispered. "Do...do we have any kids" he asked.
Tears filled Monica's eyes when he asked that. She so badly wanted to say "No but in about seven months we will." She looked at him. "N...no" she whimpered. Chandler felt awful she crying and it was because of him. "I'm sorry Monica" he whispered. "I...I promised to make you happy but instead I made you cry" he said. Monica looked at him. "Do you know what you just said" she asked. "What did...did I say something wrong" he asked. "No of course not" she told him "What you said you said it when you proposed you promised to make me happy" she said.
"This is so frustrating I'm remembering little things and most of it doesn't even make senesce" Chandler whispered. "What else do you remember " she asked. '"Well I had dreams that seemed real but I don't know if they're real memories or not" he said. "I dreamt I was in Vegas crawling under Craps table and you were there I kissed you under the table" he told her. "Then there was a guy in here earlier I dreamt he was dressed as a bloody a solider and there was blonde woman playing guitar and singing about a cat" he said.
Monica smiled. "The Vegas thing was real we were under the table looking for a die, we found it and then you kissed me" she said. "The bloody soldier that's Joey he wore the costume for a movie and he had it on when he married us" she told him. "and the blonde is Phoebe she plays guitar and sings a song called Smelly Cat" She sat down beside him. "There's also Ross he's my brother, you two have been friends since college and Rachel is his girlfriend she and I have been friends since kindergarten and they have a daughter Emma" she told him.
Chandler couldn't take his eyes off of her. He found it hard to believe that this incredible, beautiful woman was his wife. He wanted to kiss but he wasn't sure if she'd let him. "Monica" he whispered. "Would it be okay if I" he stopped. "If you what" she asked. "If I kissed you" he asked. She smiled at him. He was so cute. "Yes" she said softly. He was kind of nervous it was almost like he was gonna kiss her for the first time. He leaned in and kissed her softly at first but deepened it as it continued. Monica put her arms around his neck and ran her fingers through his hair.
He suddenly broke the kiss startling Monica. "Chandler are...are you okay" she asked. "When I was kissing you something flashed in my mind" he said. "What was it" she asked. "I was wearing funny pajamas and you had on a dress your hair was up and there was a bed with a gold colored comforter on it and we kissed" he told her. She smiled "That was London and the hotel room where we had our first kiss and slept together for the first time" she said. He looked at her bit strangely "This may sound weird but did you ever put a turkey on your head" he asked. "Yeah I did that was Thanksgiving you hate that holiday and we were reminiscing and you got upset so I put the turkey on and danced for you and you told me I was great and you love me but you denied saying it" she giggled.
He smiled "You are great" he said kissing her again. The kiss deepened. Monica wanted it to go further but she thought asking him to make love to her would be taking advantage of him. She stopped the kiss. "Why'd you stop" he asked. "Because Chandler we're in a hospital" she said not wanting to hurt his feelings. "Since when does being in the hospital stop us" he grinned. "What" she asked not believing he just said that. "We were in a hospital I remember saying we got to do it on a bucket" he said. "Oh Chandler" she said throwing her arms around him. "You're remembering!" she exclaimed.
Chandler held her. He was remembering little things but he wanted to remember everything like loving the beautiful woman in his arms. He wanted to remember every detail of their relationship of their wedding. He wanted to remember his friends his parents. He wanted to remember everything and he hoped it time he would.
