The One That Could have been-Monica & Chandler

Scene: Joey & Chandler's, the guys are there

Joey: so what happened after third visit?

Chandler: well let's just say that when we came home we got into a huge fight and I ended up coming over here

Ross: dude listen do you really think you two are over?

Chandler: I don't want it to be but I think its over

Joey: dude why don't you just do the IVF thing

Chandler: because the doctor told us that with Monica there was an increased risk of complications with IVF, if anything were to go wrong then I could never forgive myself

Ross: dude sometimes you just have to risk

Chandler: Ross she could die!

Ross: could die, Chandler there's a risk with everything but this is for your marriage

Scene: Monica & Chandler's, the girls are there

Rachel: Monica look surrogacy is the best option

Monica: I couldn't handle some other woman carrying my child

Phoebe: Alice was O.K with it

Monica: I'm not Alice!

Rachel: well Monica it might be hard for you to hear but I think Chandler is right this time!

Phoebe: look why don't you guys just adopt

Monica: because we want our own child so much

Phoebe: but Monica!

Monica: O.K I hate saying this but you two don't understand and you never will what it feels like to be told you can't have the one thing you want!

Rachel: Monica we're just trying to help

Monica: you can't help Rachel, I see you with Emma and I get so jealous and sad and when Chandler sees Ross with her it's the same thing

Rachel: you can get a child by surrogacy

Monica: I just can't do it

Phoebe: I think you don't have a choice, that is if you want to fix this

Scene: Joey & Rachel's

Joey: Chandler I married you two and you'll be the first couple I married that divorced, you can't do that to my reputation

Chandler: we're the only ones you married!

Ross: stick to the subject guys

Joey: fine but the both of you are so stubborn

Chandler: tell me about it
FLASHBACK

Scene: Marriage Counsellor

Mark: so how have you been since last week?

Monica: worse!

Chandler: worse doesn't even describe it!

Mark: well this week I want to talk about the whole baby thing

Chandler: that's what we're paying you for!

Mark: when I talked to you both separately about it I realised you feel very strong about it

Monica: sorry but what college did you go to!

Mark: look I realise tensions are high but please try and act like adults

Chandler: well then you shouldn't be talking to Monica!

Monica: cheap shot!

Mark: guys please be quiet, Chandler I want you to go first and tell Monica what you told me

Chandler: basically I won't do the IVF, only surrogacy

Mark: O.K so Monica how do you feel?

Monica: the complete opposite!

Mark: well now Monica why don't you tell Chandler how you feel

Monica: I don't repeat myself!

END FLASHBACK

Ross: so you came home and just fought like hell

Chandler: pretty much

Scene: coffee house, everyone except Monica & Chandler are there

Rachel: neither of them will budge

Phoebe: they are just so damn stubborn

Joey: guys if they divorce

Ross: Joey don't say that

Joey: but if they do will we be O.K?

Scene: Rooftop, Chandler's there & Monica comes out

Chandler: Mon?

Monica: hey

Chandler: why are you up here?

Monica: probably the same reason as you, to think

Chandler: I can't believe we have to think these things

Monica: well not many couples make it through these kinds of things

Chandler: I know but I just wish we could

Monica: me too, me too

Chandler: I really thought we were unbreakable

Monica: yea I guess our friendship is ruined as well now

Chandler: look I have to say this, otherwise I'll never forgive myself, look the main reason I don't want to do IVF is because I'm afraid I'll lose you

Monica: what?

Chandler: well the doctor said the risk is higher with you and if, if you died then so would I

Monica: I guess I should say that I fear doing surrogacy because I'm afraid that there'll always be like a divide between the child and I

Chandler: but

Monica: wait, I'm not afraid anymore, I can't lose you (moves closer to him)

Chandler: Monica I don't expect you to go through this

Monica: yea but I will, for you

Chandler: I think we should just adopt, think about it we'll be giving a child a better home and that's pretty cool

Monica: I guess

Chandler: so . . . we're O.K?

Monica: kind of

Chandler: and we'll adopt?

Monica: we have no other choice

Chandler: oh come here (they give each other a hug)

Monica: (whispering) I love you

Chandler: I love you more

Monica: don't get me started on how that's so wrong (they kiss)
