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 10: A Love Like Ours
Chandler sighed softly as he sat alone in his apartment. It had been a few weeks since he came home. He was remembering more each day but he still hadn't remembered much about his life with Monica. He remembered little things like Mr. Big her nickname for him, giving her a mix tape with Janice's voice on it, and having sex in front of the big bay window. He still had no memory of their wedding or much after that. He remembered a few things that the gang said happened right before the wedding like Ross's big brother speech and going to see his dad in Vegas but he remembered nothing of their actual wedding day. Monica said it didn't bother her but he knew it did. Once he came in and saw her looking at some picture with her hand on her stomach and crying. He later found out from Phoebe it had been their wedding picture.
Someone came into the apartment breaking him from his thoughts. He looked up and saw Rachel holding Emma. "Hey Rach" he said. She smiled "Hey" she said. Emma smiled and giggled when she saw Chandler. "Chan" she squealed with her arms out. Rachel laughed "Looks like someone's happy to see her uncle" she said. "Uh huh" he whispered. She sat down beside him "Chandler what's wrong" she asked. "I don't even remember my niece" he said. " I don't remember you being pregnant" he whispered. " I know you found out you were pregnant at our reception but that's because Monica told me" he told her.
Emma squirmed out of Rachel's arms and crawled on to Chandler's lap. "Chan" she giggled giving him a baby hug. Rachel smiled. "Ems love's her uncle even if he doesn't remember her right now" she said. Chandler smiled at the one year old in his arms. "You didn't think she'd even like me because she kicked every time I touched your stomach" he said. "I did the going downstairs routine for her when Mon and I baby-sat and she cried because she couldn't see me" he added. "I'm your uncle Chandler funny's all I have" he whispered.
Rachel smiled "See you're remembering me being pregnant and Emma" she said. "Yeah but why can't I remember much about my life with Monica" he asked "If our life and our love is so special why can't I remember" he asked looking at her with sad eyes. "Chandler the love you and Mon has is so special I was even a little jealous once and did something kind of stupid" Rachel told him. "You mean kissing Ross on the night we got engaged" he said. "Yes" she said "You remembered that" she asked. He nodded. "Yeah I remember you being sad because Mon was getting married and you weren't even close" he said. "Yeah I was pathetic huh" she laughed. "No you weren't you just wanted to find love too" he smiled "Mon told me you and Ross got back together"
Rachel blushed at the mention of Ross's name. "Yeah we've been together for about two months now" she giggled. "Must be nice" he whispered. "Chandler you'll remember your life with Mon you can't forget a love like yours" she assured him.
The next day Chandler kept thinking something was special about today but he couldn't remember why. He looked at the calendar the wall. "May 15th" he mumbled "Why does that feel special" he wondered. He sighed and wondered over to the sofa. He turned on the tv. He settled on Baywatch. He smiled wondering if Joey knew it was on.
Monica came in and saw him on the sofa. "Hey honey" she said leaning down to kiss him. "Hey Mon" he said. "Baywatch, really" she stated sitting beside him. He laughed and turned it off. "Mon is...is today a special day or something." He asked. She frowned when she realized he didn't remember it was their anniversary. She didn't know if it was the worry or the pregnancy but she started to cry. "Its May 15th" she whispered. " I know but why doe it seem special" he asked. "Its...its our anniversary Chandler" she cried. "We were married two years ago today" she added.
Chandler sighed softly. "I'm so sorry Mon" he whispered. "I want to remember our wedding, our life together" he said. "Do you" she cried. "Maybe you don't want to remember because you don't really love me" she said. "Maybe we weren't meant to be" she cried. He gently brushed away her tears. "No Mon that's not true you know how much I love you and not remembering its killing me" he whispered. "Why Chandler why can you remember our friends but you can't remember marrying me" she said a bit loud "I'm suppose to be the love of your life, I'm carrying your child" she said. "Why" she asked breaking down in sobs.
Chandler felt tears stinging his own eyes. He hated to see Monica cry and knowing he was the reason she was crying made it worse. "Don't cry Mon" he whispered. "My bestfriend, my prince, the father of my baby can't remember me what else can I do" she sobbed. Chandler looked into her eyes. I love you Monica and I know I'll remember" he promised. She looked in his eyes. She could see the love shining in them and he wanted to believe him. "I love you too Chandler" she whispered. He gently caressed her cheek and she sighed softly. Their lips were so close she couldn't resist kissing him.
Their kiss grew deeper as Chandler ran his fingers through her hair. She ran her hands along his back. He started to kiss her neck like he always did. She sighed softly but when she felt his hand slip under her blouse she stopped him. "Chandler I...I can't" she whispered. "You can't what" he asked. " I can't do this" she said. "I...I'm sorry Chandler I love you but I...I can't make love with you when you don't remember" she said getting up from the sofa. "I...I'm sorry" she cried as she ran from the apartment.
Chandler looked down at the gold ring on his finger. Kissing her, holding her, and touching her felt so, right so good. So why couldn't he remember pledging his life to her. Why couldn't he remember them becoming Mr. and Mrs. Chandler Bing. He had to remember her. He swore he'd do what ever took to remember.
