Hey, here's the next part of the fic, hope you enjoy. And if it seems a little rushed I was trying to do housework at the same time as writing this.

Enjoy!

Chandler hiccupped. Monica smiled but didn't turn around from her cooking. He hiccupped again and this time she had to suppress a giggle. He hiccupped a third time and she turned around.

'Are you sure you're ok Chandler?' She teased. Chandler scowled at her but held his breath, trying to stop the hiccups. Monica turned back around and grabbed a glass, filling it with water. 'It's not that bad Chandler.' She tried to reason. Chandler took the water and gulped it down before shaking his head at her.

'It is that bad, you remember what it was like with Ross, he didn't like him then and Ross didn't knock her up did he?' Chandler said. Tonight was the night he had to meet Rachel's father. 'What am I going to do?'

'Well, just steer clear of "Hey Dr. Greene, I'm Chandler, I'm not romantically involved with your daughter but I did have sex with her once and now she's pregnant" and I think you'll do just fine.'

Chandler mock laughed at her and the turned his attention on to the bathroom door as it began to open. Rachel walked out in a smooth black dress, hung loosely off the shoulders and hugging around the hips. A small bump was visible around her stomach, not overly noticeable as she was still only four months pregnant, but noticeable enough if you knew she was pregnant.

With the gleam that seemed to be in her eye these days it was impossible not to notice there was something different. Her hair was soft and shiny, laying gently on her shoulders and framing her face.

'Well I'm ready now, can we go?' Rachel asked. Chandler just simply nodded, not in the slightest to prepare for what was going to happen. He hiccupped again and Monica giggled again. She couldn't help herself, he seemed so cute and venerable at that moment. Rachel smiled and walked over to him, holding on to his face and kissing him deeply for almost a minute.

When they pulled apart Chandler couldn't help but smile. 'Well that worked better then the water.' Monica laughed and looked back over.

'Well I would have done that if you had asked.' She said in a sing-song voice.

Rachel began to drag Chandler out of the apartment, as they reached the door they were met by Joey walking in.

'Say goodbye to Chandler, Joey, he's off to meet and greet the expectant grandfather today.' Monica said. Joey smiled and hugged Chandler

'Bye man, it was great knowing you.'

'That is NOT helping you guys.' Chandler shouted as he was dragged away by Rachel.

~*~*~*~*~*~

'Hey my little girl.' Dr. Green smiled as he hugged his daughter. They had reached the restaurant and been seated before Rachel's father had arrived and were looking at the wine menu when he turned up.

'Hey daddy.' Rachel greeted. She turned her fathers attention around to Chandler. 'Daddy, this is chandler, you remember him right? He was at my birthday party.'

It was clear that he did not remember Chandler but pretended for his daughters sake anyway. He didn't know why that boy was here with his daughter, but he sat down and exchanged pleasantries with him anyway. For a short moment he panicked at the thought that maybe she was dating him. He sighed inwardly, why did his precious keep dating these guys? She was the perfect woman, she deserved to be dating a rich doctor, like she was going to marry Barry.

'So baby, what's new in your life?' Leonard Green asked casually as a way to find out if this man was really dating his daughter.

Rachel's heart seemed to skip a beat, she had known this was coming, she knew she would have to tell her father, but still the moment had caught her off-guard. She had spent so much time convincing Chandler it was all going to turn out fine she had done little to persuade herself. She ignored all the warning alarms that were going off in her head and took a deep breath, preparing herself for the inevitable.

'I'm pregnant.' She said clearly. That was the best way, get it out in the open, quickly and painlessly.

Chandler tensed up, now was the moment, it was out in the open now.

Leonard almost chocked on his wine, had he heard her right? His little daughter pregnant? Without getting married first?

'You're pregnant?' He exclaimed. A couple on the table next to them turned around to stare at the outburst but turned back when Rachel smiled sweetly at them, giving them a look that clearly told them to mind their own business.

'Daddy, it's ok, Chandler's going to support me all the way, it's not going to be that bad.'

'You knocked her up?' Leonard said, turning to Chandler.

'It was an accident, but I'm facing up to my actions, I'm being responsible and it's not as if there's anything we can do now anyway.' He babbled. Other people in the restaurant were beginning to turn around now and almost seconds later they were asked to leave the restaurant for disturbing the other people.

As they stood out in the car park Leonard was preparing to set Chandler straight on his treatment of his daughter. How dare he say there was no other option, wasn't he giving Rachel a choice?

'Chandler! sweetie, what are you doing here?' A voice suddenly rang out in to the cool night air. Chandler looked around and saw his mom walking towards them, a vaguely familiar man walking behind her.

'Hey mom.' Chandler replied timidly, this was not the way he had planned on telling his mother that he had gotten someone pregnant by accident. 'Mom, you remember Rachel don't you? And this is her father Dr. Green.' He introduced politely. Nora smiled at them, assuming that Rachel and her son had started dating, not feeling the tension between them all.

'Mrs. Bing, I think that you may need to have words with your son on how to treat a woman when he gets her pregnant.' Leonard informed her sharply.

'Excuse me?' Nora asked, bewildered by the mans harshness and then took a double-take looking at Rachel. 'You're pregnant?' Rachel nodded and Nora then turned to Chandler. 'You got her pregnant?'

Chandler nodded too. 'But I'm not going to just leave her, I'm taking care of her, I've been going to those Lamaze classes, to the sonograms and I'll be fully involved with raising the baby.' He stated. Nora nodded at her son. He seemed to be doing everything he could, but still looked as though he felt it was all wrong.

'Mr Green is it?' Nora asked as she looked at Leonard. 'I think that my son seems to be doing a very good job facing up to his responsibilities and if Rachel is unhappy about anything I'm sure she has the sense to speak up about it.'

Rachel had had enough, all these people were making their own decisions on how she should be feeling right now.

'Stop it!' She yelled suddenly. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her. 'Ok I'm pregnant, but that doesn't mean I cant do anything for myself. Dad there's no need for you to be getting upset, sure I'm not married, but I'm not exactly ruining my life. Chandler is helping me out, and I thought I had already proven to you that I can take care of myself, I've managed to live without your support for almost five years now and I'm fine. Chandler, you're doing fine, don't let anyone tell you different, believe me if you get anymore involved you'd become one of those smothering fathers and I'd hate you. And Nora, you're quite right, I can speak up for myself.'

'Rache.' Chandler began.

'Come on Chandler, we're going home.' Rachel cut him off, she turned around to Nora and her father and the man who was with Nora, standing awkwardly behind her looking scared at the whole confrontation. 'You can call us to sort this all out when you calm down! There's no point in arguing over it, it's done and nothing can change it so you might as well make your peace with it.'

And with that she turned on her heel and walked away, pulling Chandler along with her.

Nora shook her head and turned around to the guy she was with, motioning for him to continue walking with her. Weirder and more dramatic things had gone on in her life and they were adults now, they had to deal with this themselves. No doubt she would be calling in the morning though.

'Dr. Green, might I suggest you go and sleep on it, I think you'll eventually see that your daughter is an adult and can take care of herself now.' Nora suggested to a speechless Leonard still standing in the parking lot.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Rachel banged the door open as she entered her home. She quickly explained to Monica who was getting ready to go out on a date that she was in no mood to talk and went to her bedroom. Chandler came running in after her and went over to Rachels room.

'Rachel, are you ok?' He asked. Rachel looked up at him and tried to smile. She had been thinking of this pregnancy as the best thing to happen to her, she was going to be a mom. But now she remembered something her dad had told her when she was little, the importance of being married and having a secure relationship before getting pregnant and saw all the complications that went with it. Chandler wouldn't always be there would he? He would get in to another relationship and go off with his new girlfriend and she would be left alone.

'I'm fine.' She lied.

'Rache, it'll be ok. I promise I'll help out and be here for you, and your parents will come around to the idea. Well once we tell your mom tomorrow that is.'

'Ok then.' Rachel replied, still not convinced.

'I promise.' Chandler tried one more time. He held her close to him and hugged her, sensing that words would be enough to tell her he was supporting her. Rachel leaned back to him and closed her eyes. Chandler began to run his hands in small circles on her leg, not realising how intimate he was getting. Rachel sighed and leaned even closer to him. Chandler kissed her hair and moved his hands across to her stomach.

'Chandler.' Rachel whispered and looked in to his eyes. Chandler kissed her, and pulled her on to the bed.
