Chapter 7: TOW Monica Learns The Sex

Rachel and Phoebe walked into Monica's apartment. They saw Monica cleaning. "Mon your place is already spotless so I don't think it could get any cleaner" Rachel said. "I'm nervous and you know when I'm nervous I clean" she said fluffing the pillows again. "Whatcha nervous about" Phoebe asked as she plopped down on the sofa. "Pheebs I just fluffed those pillows" Monica whined. "I have a doctor's appointment today and we're gonna find out the sex of the baby" she said setting her hand on her stomach.

Rachel sat down next to Phoebe. "Oh don't worry there's nothing to be nervous about" she said. "So do you like Dr. Long" she asked. Monica nodded. "Yes she's great thanks for recommending her" Rachel smiled "Yeah she is I loved her too I'd see her again" Monica looked at her. "Rach are you" she questioned. "No but since I am getting married" she wiggled the finger containing her engagement ring. "Emma will probably get a brother or sister someday" she giggled. Monica smiled "I'm so happy you're marrying my brother!" They both hugged. "Hey I'm happy too" Phoebe whined. Rachel and Monica laughed and pulled her into their hug.

Chandler came in. He smiled. "Hey guys" he said. "Is everything okay" he asked. Monica broke from the hug "Everything's great" she said standing up and walking over to him. "Okay in that case that hug turned me on a little" he joked. "Chandler!" Monica giggled as she playfully hit him. He smiled and gave her a kiss. "You two ready to go" he asked rubbing her belly. She smiled and nodded. "See you guys later" Monica said. Phoebe smiled. "Okay I can't wait to find out if you're having a Phoebe or a Phebo" she giggled. Once they were out the door Chandler said 'We're not naming our kid Phoebe or Phebo" Monica laughed.

Monica was sitting on an exam table in a little paper gown and Chandler was looking around the exam room. He touched a plastic model of a fetus. He stumbled nearly dropping it. He quickly set it back on the shelf. Monica laughed. "Carol and Rachel said Ross did the same thing." She looked at him. "Honey come here" she said softly. "Are you okay" she asked. "Yeah I guess I'm just nervous" he said. "Are you sure" she paused to reach for his hand. "You're okay with us having this baby aren't you" she asked. "Mon I'm more than okay we're having this baby " he whispered. "I wished for this baby more than winning the lotto or getting the junior copywriter job" he said kissing her temple. "I love you and the baby so much" She smiled "We love you too Chandler"

Dr. Long came in. "Hello Monica how are you doing" she asked. "I'm great" Monica answered. "Honey give me that picture" she said to Chandler. He took a picture out of his pocket and gave it to her. "Dr. Long, Rachel wanted me to give you this for your wall of baby pictures" Monica said with a smile. Dr. Long smiled. "Tell her I said thank you" She walked over and added Emma's picture to the wall of babies. "Now why don't we get a picture of your baby" she said "Okay" Monica exclaimed.

Monica held Chandler's hand as Dr. Long got an image of their baby on the screen. "There we go" she said "There's your baby" Dr. Long said showing them the image on the screen. Monica's eyes filled with tears as she looked at their baby. She looked up and saw Chandler gazing at the screen with tears in his eyes too. "That's our baby Monica" he whispered "We're really having a baby" he said. Monica smiled. "I know!" she exclaimed.

Later that day Chandler and Monica walked into Central Perk. Ross, Rachel, Joey and Phoebe were sitting on the orange sofa. "Hey guys" Monica said with a smile. "Ooh how did it go at the doctor's" Phoebe giggled. "Yeah is it a Joseph or a Josephine" Joey giggled. "No its either a Phoebe or a Phebo" Phoebe giggled. "Look we're not naming our baby any of those" Chandler said. "But we had a deal remember" Joey whined glancing at Rachel. "What deal" Ross asked. "Oh Chandler and Monica has sex while they were baby-sitting Emma because it was Monica's last day ovulating and Joey caught them and he said he would tell me unless they named their first born Joey" Rachel said smiling at Joey.

"How did you know that" Joey whined. "Monica and Chandler told me" she giggled. "Anyway so what is it a boy or a girl" Rachel asked. Monica and Chandler looked at each other. "You wanna tell them honey" Monica asked. He smiled and looked at his friends "We're having a girl!" he gushed. Monica pulled out the picture of their baby. "There she is!" she said excitedly pointing the baby out for her friends. "Oh Ross look at our niece" Rachel cooed. "Hey Chandler I think she has your wavy line" Ross giggled. "Oh so funny" Chandler said sarcastically. "So do you have a name picked out." Phoebe asked. "Hint Phoebe" she coughed.

"Well we have a few ideas but nothing definite yet" Monica said. "How about Muriel" Ross laughed. "Funny doesn't work on you man stick to dinosaurs" Chandler said. "Yeah well this does" Ross said banging his fists together. Everyone laughed.
