Chapter Three: No Matter How Far
***************************

'What have I done?' Monica asked herself as she walked through the rain. The incident hadn't even fully registered with her yet. All she knew was that she slept with someone who wasn't Chandler. "Oh my god..." it finally came to her as she stopped on the sidewalk. The words in her mind came out of her mouth. As she said it, she began to understand. "I cheated on him. He's my husband. I committed adultery..."

It was even harder for her now to deal with herself. She knew that she had been upset, depressed, and most of all, drunk. But there was no excuse for her actions. After all, Chandler had never actually come out and said that he didn't want children. It had been an assumption on Monica's fault. Not that she didn't have evidence to back it up.

Once she had overheard a conversation he had had with Ross after they had found out that Rachel was pregnant. "I don't think you have anything to worry about, Ross," Chandler had told his friend. "You know that you're a great father. You've already proved that with Ben." Monica had been standing in the doorway. Ross and Chandler hadn't noticed her there. "I can understand how you're feeling," Chandler had gone on. "If it were me, I would be petrified. I'm just not what they traditionally label as father material, and I doubt I ever will be. But Ross, your kid's going to love you."

Monica had left at that point. She had heard enough. The idea of never having children scared her as much as Chandler was afraid of having them. How were they supposed to be together if they didn't agree on that? 'How are we supposed to be together after I've cheated on my husband?' Monica thought in anguish.

'And how can I bring myself to tell him?' Monica knew that she loved Chandler with all her heart, but she didn't want to break his.
