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 9: Home Sweet Home
Piper walked into Chandler's room. She smiled when she saw him sitting in bed with his wife in his arms. "Hi" she said softly. "Hey Piper" Chandler greeted. "How's it going with your memory" she asked. "Better" he said. "I've been remembering more each day" he told her. "I remembered loving Monica but I still can't remember our wedding or where we live" he added. "That's great " Piper said. "I'm sure the rest of it will come back to you" she said. Chandler nodded. "I hope so and I hope its soon because Monica's pregnant" he said with a smile. "That's wonderful congratulations you two!" Piper said with a smile.
"Thank you" Monica said her eyes sparkling. "Chandler's worried about being a good father because right now he doesn't remember our marriage or making this baby" she said rubbing her belly. "But I told him to stop worrying because I know he'll remember" she said. Piper nodded. "She's right Chandler and I have something that might help." Chandler nodded. "Alright what is it" he asked. "Well Dr. Clooney said since you're doing so well he's discharging you this afternoon" Monica smiled "You mean he gets to go home" Piper nodded. "Yes" she answered. "I'll be back in a little while with the discharge papers" she said leaving the couple alone.
Monica hugged him. "We get to go home today" she said happily. Isn't that great" Chandler sighed. "Yeah I guess" She looked at him. "Honey what's wrong I though after a few days in this place you'd be ready to go home" Chandler sighed again. "Yeah but I don't remember home" he whispered. "All I know is we live in New York and that's because you told me" Monica saw the sadness in his eyes "Honey its gonna be okay you'll remember" she said softly "Maybe going home and seeing our apartment will help jog your memory" Chandler nodded. "An apartment huh was I too cheap to buy you a house" he asked Monica laughed "No we love our apartment I've lived there since I was 21 it was my grandma's place and I moved in when she moved to Florida" she told him.
Later that afternoon Chandler was discharged and they were now waiting at the Tulsa airport for their flight. Phoebe smiled as she sat down beside Chandler. "You know what might help you with your memory" she giggled. "What Pheebs" he asked. "You remembered my nickname yay!" she giggled. Chandler laughed. "Okay I could cleanse your aura get all the bad stuff out of their" she said moving her hands in the air around him. It wasn't long before their flight was called.
Several hours later they were back in New York. Monica held Chandler's hand as they walked down the street. They stopped in front of Central Perk. "Do you recognize this place" she asked him. "Not really all I remember is the Pheebs handing you the cookie while we sat on the orange couch." he said. "Okay our next stop is 495 Grove St." she told him. "What's that" he asked. "That's the building we live in our apartment is #20 Joey and Rachel live across the hall in #19" she said as they continued to walk.
Monica smiled "Here it is" she said "and see the building across the street that's where Ross lives" She looked at him. "Anything look familiar" she asked. "No" he whispered. "Sorry" he added. "Oh Chandler don't be sorry its not your fault and its all gonna come back to you" Monica said as she and the others lead Chandler inside.
Chandler looked at the hallway between the two apartments. "I remember the hallway" he said. "Rachel and I ate cheesecake off the floor and Mon you and I shared a passionate kiss out here" Monica nodded. "Yes that was the first time you left for Tulsa" she said as she opened the door. "This is our place" she said walking inside. "Wow it sure is clean" Chandler stated. "Uh yeah I'm sorta obsessed with keeping things clean" she chuckled. "Sorta" Ross snorted "No you are obsessed Mon" he laughed. "Shut up you loser" she giggled
Chandler laughed. He slowly walked around the apartment. He looked at the big bay window. He saw the big white dog on the balcony. "What's with the dog" he asked. Monica smiled "That was Joey's gift to you when you moved out" she answered. "Moved out where did I move from" he asked. "You lived across the hall with Joey for six years" she said. "But after our trip to Vegas you asked me to live with you so you moved in here with me and Rach she was my roommate moved in with Pheebs" she said. "I lived with Joey" Monica nodded. "Yep and you two were inseparable he's your bestfriend" Chandler sighed softly. "I don't remember living with him but I do remember you and I having sex in front of that window" he said pointing at the big bay window.
"Actually Chandler you guys were having sex against the window" Rachel chuckled. "How would you know" he asked. "Pheebs and I saw you from Ross's apartment" she giggled., "Oh" Chandler said blushing.
Joey sighed softly as he watched Chandler. He couldn't take it. Chandler was remembering Monica and Phoebe had told him he remembered some stuff with Ross and Rachel but he only remembered him wearing a WWI uniform. Joey looked at Chandler laughing with Rachel and Monica. He had to go. He turned an left slamming the door behind him.
Everyone turned when they heard the door slam. "Why'd Joey leave" Chandler asked. "Well honey don't take this the wrong way but Joey he loves you like a brother and I think he's a little upset you remember things about the rest of us and not him" Monica said softly. "Oh" Chandler said frowning. "Don't worry I'll talk to him" Phoebe said. "No Pheebs I should" Chandler said walking to the door.
Chandler walked in to apartment 19. It felt natural doing so. He figured he did it often. He saw Joey sitting in his barcalounger holding a stuffed penguin. "Joe" Chandler said softly. "What" he mumbled. Chandler walked over and sat in the other chair. "I'm sorry I haven't remembered anything about you yet but from what Mon told me its sounds like we're great friends" he said. "We are or at least we were" Joey whispered. "We're still friends Joe" Chandler assured him. Joey sighed. "Look I'm glad you're remembering Mon with the baby coming she needs you and I'm glad you're remembering the guys too but I want you to remember me" he pouted. "We always did everything together" he whined.
Chandler smiled. "Hey where's the chick and the duck" he asked. Joey looked it him a bit surprised. "You remember the chick and the duck" he asked. Chandler nodded. Joey grinned as he jumped out of his seat. He unlocked his bedroom door. "They stay in my room most of the time now" he said as the birds waddled out. Chandler smiled and began to play with them. "I remember something else Joe" he said. "We had a canoe and rusty patio furniture in the middle of our living room because you locked yourself in that stupid entertainment unit you built and we were robbed" he said. "Could we be more white trash" he giggled.
Joey grinned "Dude you remembered" he giggled. "But my entertainment unit wasn't stupid that was some fine Italian craftsmanship" he whined. Chandler noticed a tennis ball on the counter "Wanna play some fireball" he giggled. "Okay I'll go unhook the fire detectors" Joey said jumping around like an excited little kid. Chandler laughed "Okay calm down Joe" Joey hugged him. "I'm just glad you're starting to remember me he said. "Me too Joey" he said with a smile. Chandler was happy to be remembering his bestfriend but he still hadn't remembered much of his life with Monica like their wedding or honeymoon. He sighed softly thinking about the beautiful woman across the hall praying he'd remember more of his life with her soon.
