Hi I'm back again with a new story this time involving Monica & Chandler, its like the one that could have been except this time its set in the 9th/10th season, what would happen if after Monica and Chandler found out that they couldn't have kids that they had loads of fights and stuff?

THE ONE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN-MONICA & CHANDLER

Scene: Coffee House, everyone except Monica & Chandler are there & Joey enters

Rachel: hey Joey how's Chandler?

Joey: a complete wreck, I asked him to talk about it but all he said was that it's over with him and Monica

Phoebe: I still don't get it, what happened last night?

Rachel: well I don't know what it was about but they had a huge fight and Chandler came over to our place around midnight

Phoebe: did he say anything about it?

Joey: all he said is that he was tired and didn't want to talk about it

Ross: well Monica isn't answering her phone, I rang her like a million times to see if she was O.K

Rachel: nah she left for work this morning

Joey: I can't believe it, this is Monica & Chandler and (Chandler enters)

Ross: Chandler what happened between you and Mon!

Chandler: look if I knew what happened then I wouldn't be in this mess, would I!

Phoebe: it might help to talk about it?

Chandler: fine but I don't see the point

FLASHBACK

Scene: Monica & Chandler's, they're there reading adoption booklets

Monica: how are we supposed to do this?

Chandler: I know I wish it were just as simple as going in and picking a kid!

Monica: well its not like we have any other choice

Chandler: not exactly

Monica: what do you mean?

Chandler: well remember when we were going to get a sperm donor

Monica: you're perfect colleague Zack?

Chandler: yea he still won't talk to me! Anyway what about surrogacy?

Monica: surrogacy?

Chandler: yea we've never really talked about it and it's the only other way to get a kid of our own

Monica: but I don't want someone else carrying our child!

Chandler: what's the big deal! It'll be our kid

Monica: yea but some other women would feel it kicking and stuff!

Chandler: will you calm down and just let us discuss this like adults

Monica: we discussed it before and decided against it!

Chandler: no you did, I think we should do it!

Monica: oh fine you can do it!

Chandler: really!

Monica: yea with some other women!

Chandler: oh this is fair! I was going to go through the sperm donor thing even though I wasn't happy about it but when it comes to you doing something nice for me!

Monica: this is about a child not about something nice for you!

Chandler: yea well I was willing to have a different father for our kid because I was trying to make you happy but when I ask you to get a different person to carry our child, not a different mother, all she'll be doing is keeping it warm for nine months!

Monica: but she'll be going through all the pregnancy stuff that I should go through!

END FLASHBACK

Scene: coffee house

Rachel: so you guys are just fighting over surrogacy?

Chandler: I wish it were that simple, no this was just the beginning

Joey: the beginning of what?

Chandler: a hell of a lot of really bad and ugly fights

Ross: how long has this been going on?

Chandler: close to a month!

Phoebe: but we would have found out, none of us had any idea that you were having any problems

Chandler: we tried to keep it secret, that was mostly Monica's idea

Joey: but you should have told us, we could of helped!

Chandler: I wish we did that now but at the time we were both to stubborn to get help

Ross: fine you didn't have to tell us but what about going to a marriage counsellor?

Chandler: we did, last week actually, but he didn't help

Ross: what do you mean?

Chandler: things have just gotten too bad

So that's the first chapter, there will be about 3 in all, so just review & I'll post the next one up next week! (
