Here's the next part of my story. Enjoy.
'I said, I'm not going with you.' Monica repeated. Chandler stared at her, dumfounded. This wasn't how it was meant to go. Monica was supposed to jump at the chance and then they would live happily ever after. But this way was wrong.
'Why not?' He asked the sting of her sudden rejection present in his eyes. 'We could have everything. There's a perfect job there for you, and it's so beautiful there, you should see it. It's quiet and safe and a perfect place to bring up kids!' He pleaded. Monica almost struck out at him.
'Don't you dare!' She cried out. 'Don't you dare try and temp me with that!' She stared him in the face, challenging him to retaliate. Chandler stood still, realising his mistake. But it was true; it was a perfect place for him and Monica to raise and family. And that's all he could think of since he had been there, when Phoebe had told him that this place was a perfect hideout and that they would be safe there.
'But it is Monica; I'm not trying to use it against you. I'm sorry.' He looked down at the floor, trying his best to avoid the anger of her glare. 'I've been thinking about it. I know we aren't… weren't in the place to start a family when I left but I would still like to be with you. And who knows? Maybe we could have children.' Chandler told her. Monica looked away.
'Chandler, if you want your little island life then go ahead! But don't expect me to come with you and play happy families. This isn't right.' Monica told him with tears in her eyes. 'You left me, for money. Who's to say that you don't leave me for someone else? If you'll leave me for money then I can't mean that much to you.'
Chandler stared at her. This was all wrong. He loved her more then the money. He had just wanted to create the perfect life for the both of them, and to do that he had needed the money. He had no idea when he decided to run with the money that it would separate them fir almost a year and a half.
'You mean more to me then the money Monica.' He said to her. Monica scoffed and walked to the kitchen. She stated to clean up the plates on the draining board. 'Monica seriously. When I took the money I really didn't know that it would take so long to come back here. If I had of known then I wouldn't have gone. I never want to be away from you, I love you.'
Monica turned around to face him suddenly. 'You really love me?' She said sceptically. Chandler nodded dumbly, not expecting her to turn that against him. 'You know, when I woke up this morning and saw that you were next to me again, I was so happy, and I felt as though I could forgive you whatever the reason for you leaving was. Just because I love you so much. But now I know you left me for the money! And you expect me to just fall back in to your arms and let you whisk me away from all my family and friends? I love my job, everyone loves me here and I don't want to go and have to have a new life and a new identity or anything. I do love you Chandler, but I can't go with you.'
Chandler watched her as she walked in to the bedroom, closing the door behind her. He put his head in his hands and sighed. Had he really just lost her forever?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Phoebe knocked before entering. She didn't know why exactly, it wasn't as if she had ever knocked before.
'Hey Phoebe.' Gareth greeted as he opened the door.
'Gareth.' She said coldly. She wasn't in mood to face up to him again. It was pretty obvious that he was now the one after the money.
'Did you suddenly remember where the money is?' He taunted. Phoebe scowled at him and pushed her way in to the apartment and made her way over to Joey's room.
'Joey?' She called she heard a faint 'come in' and she opened the door, closing it carefully behind her.
'Am I meant to have decided by now?' He asked. Phoebe smiled and shook her head.
'No, I just wanted to talk.' She said softly. Joey patted the space on the bed beside him and so she sat down.
'I really missed you Phoebe. You and Chandler are my best friends. Without you two I had no-one. And it wasn't until you had gone that I realised…'
'Realised what?'
'That you mean more then just a friend to me Phoebe. I…. I think I'm in love with you.

So are we agreed?' Rachel confirmed. Ross nodded. They had talked for half an hour about the good and bad points of them going to Lanai. They had been equal and Ross and Rachel was beck to square one. But then the baby had come in to the whole plan. It wouldn't be feasible to take a new born baby to a different country, and as busy as the city was it would be better to raise her here.
'It would have been nice to live there; maybe we can visit them though.' Ross suggested. Rachel nodded sadly, although she had agreed to stay in the city, she couldn't help feeling sad about not going, after all the rest of the gang would be going.
'You really think that they're all going to go?'
'I don't know. You think they've decided yet?'
'Shall we go ask them?'
'Shouldn't we wait for…? Oh my God!' Rachel exclaimed suddenly, clutching her stomach.
'What! What is it?' Ross asked, holding on to the outstretched hand Rachel was moving towards him.
'I think I just had a contraction, the baby's coming!'

Heya, I'm in a better mood this side of the story, I've had some time to think it over and… I think I may just be able to get over… it a few years or so. Well that's for my future therapist to decide.
Please leave a review!!!!
