This is an AU fic taking place at the end of the 4th season, beginning of
the 5th season. I was watching reruns when I got this idea. There never was
an Emily so London never happened. Ross and Rachel never broke up they're
engaged. Chandler and Monica aren't together (At least not yet hee hee)
Joey and Phoebe are both single.
Disclaimer: All Friends characters belong to Warner Bros. and NBC. I wanna own Chandler though. Dr. Hayes, Courteney, Daniel Chandler Bing, and Dr. Kudrow are mine.
Title: Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places

Chapter 17: Sweet Child Of Mine
Monica was in Rachel's old room that was now Daniel's nursery. She loved the nursery. The guys had surprised her with it when she came home from the hospital. It was a baby Disney theme. The walls were pale blue with a baby Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Winne the Pooh border. The crib had several stuffed animals in it including the dinosaur Ross brought and the teddy bear Chandler brought. She reached up and winded the baby Mickey mobile that hung over the crib. Music began to play. She looked down at the empty crib. She hoped Daniel would be home sleeping in it soon.
Chandler came home and saw her in the nursery. He walked in and wrapped his arms around her. "Hey" he whispered. "Hey" she said softly. "You okay" he asked. She nodded "Yeah I...I just want Daniel to come home" she said turning in his arms so she was facing him. "He'll come home soon" he said softly. "You think so Chandler" He smiled "I know so Mon, he's getting bigger every day and soon he'll be big enough to come home and do you know what will happen after that" he asked. She looked at him waiting for his answer. "We're getting married" he said with a smile.
"I've been so worried about Daniel I haven't even given any thought to our wedding Chandler, I...I'm sorry" she whispered. "Hey that's okay honey we've both been worried about Daniel but now that he's doing so much better I though we could start talking about our wedding" She smiled "I'd like that" she said "Why don't we start tonight after we see Daniel" He nodded "Sounds like a plan" She grinned "I know!" Chandler laughed "Come on our son is waiting" he took her hand leading her from the nursery and out of the apartment.
A little later Chandler and Monica walked into the Neonatal ICU and saw Dr. Kudrow at Daniel's incubator. "Oh no did something happen, is he okay" Monica asked getting worried. Dr. Kudrow smiled "No Ms. Geller everything is fine Daniel is doing really well he's up to 3lbs 10 oz and his breathing has improved he's off the respirator but he's still on oxygen" Monica smiled "Oh Chandler did you hear that he'd doing so well" Chandler nodded "That's our little man" The doctor smiled "So Ms. Geller how would you like to hold your son" she asked. Monica looked at her with surprise. "Really I...I can hold him"
The doctor nodded "Yes you both can" she said. "If you'll have a seat in the rocker I'll hand him to you" Monica sat down in the rocker and watched as the doctor carefully and gently lifted her son from his incubator. "Here you go little one say hi to your mommy" she said as she gently set the baby in Monica's arms. "Hey you" she whispered with tears in her eyes. The baby moved his fists a little opened his eyes and looked up at her. She smiled "You have your daddy's beautiful blue eyes you know that" She gently touched his cheek with her fingertip. "Mommy loves you Daniel so much" she whispered placing a very soft kiss on the top of his head. She looked up at Chandler. "Wanna hold him" she asked.
"Uh no that's okay he looks happy in your arms" Chandler answered nervously. "Chandler" Monica whispered "You have to hold him, he's your son" He sighed softly "I...I don't know Mon what if I don't hold him right or something" She smiled "Honey you'll do fine you held Ben all the time well this is no different except Daniel is a little smaller" He nodded "Okay but what if he doesn't like me" Monica laughed "Chandler you're his daddy he loves you" She carefully stood up. "Now sit down" she told him. He sat down in the rocker she was sitting in. With the doctor's help she placed Daniel in his arms. "Hey buddy" he whispered. "I'm your daddy" he said gently touching the baby's tiny fist. "When you get older you can watch Baywatch and eat pizza with uncle Joey and I"
Monica laughed "Sorry Daniel but Mommy says that ain't happening" she giggled. Chandler smiled as he whispered in the baby's ear. He responded by moving his little fists in the air and looking up at him. "Chandler what did you say to him" Monica asked. "That's our little secret right Daniel" he smiled. Courteney walked over to them. The nurse smiled "How about a picture of this adorable little family" she asked holding a Polaroid camera. Monica nodded as she knelt down beside the rocker where Chandler sat with their son in his arms. Courteney snapped the picture and handed it to them. Monica watched as the picture appeared. She smiled as she showed it to Chandler.
Later that day they waked into Central Perk. Ross and Rachel were on the big orange couch. Joey was sitting on the chair by the couch with Phoebe on his lap. "Hey guys" Monica smiled as she and Chandler sat down on the couch with Rachel and Ross. "Hey how's Daniel" Ross asked. "He's doing great" She pulled the picture out of her purse. "Its our first Bing family photo" she grinned handing to him. "Aww you guys are so the cutest" Rachel giggled. "Wow he's getting big I bet he'll be home soon" Ross said "I know!" Monica giggled.
The picture was passed to Joey and Phoebe. "Aww Chandler you look so adorable with the baby" Chandler blushed a little "Thank You Pheebs" "Dude you smiled and not one of those I'm constipated looking ones like you usually have in pictures" Joey teased. Chandler gave him a look and made his trademark noise. Joey laughed as he handed the picture back to Monica. She looked at the picture, she smiled as she ran her fingertip over it. Soon Daniel would be home and the three of them would be a real family and she couldn't wait.
