Summary: Roxanne and Chandler talk.
Chapter Ten: No Matter What Comes Our WayOut in the gardens, Roxanne and Chandler sat on a bench. They just sat there, looking at each other.
Chandler spoke first. "Look Roxanne, I know you're mad at me. But, I have something to say. I love you, a lot. You mean the world to me. I care about you. Roxanne, please, tell me what I did to make you so mad."
"You know why I'm mad." Roxanne said simply.
"No, it's not that whole thing that happened that one night a few weeks ago. It's something else, I can tell." Chandler said.
Roxanne looked as if she wanted to cry. "Yes it is! I'm mad at you for doing what you did! I don't care how ridiculous it sounds! But, do you have any idea how hurt I was after I found out you would be intimate with me in a church, but not your own damn house?!"
"Roxanne, it's not like that..." Chandler started to say.
Roxanne cut him off. "Don't even give me that 'it's not like that' crap!" Roxanne started crying.
Chandler placed a hand upon her shoulder. "Look, I'm sorry about this Roxanne...all of this."
Roxanne looked up at him with teary eyes. "But, you didn't do anything."
"I'm sorry for that one night. But, I knew if we did it a second time we'd both regret it." Chandler stated.
"No, don't apologize. This is all my fault! I seduced you at the church, and then I tried again! But you stopped me, and I'm glad." Roxanne was trying to clam down.
"You're glad? Isn't that why you stopped talking to me for two and a half weeks?" Chandler asked her, confused.
"No, I was mad at myself for seducing you. I felt so awful for doing that to you. I disrespected you by seducing in a church and then by trying again." Roxanne stated.
"Ok, first of all, you didn't disrespect me. And second of all, why didn't you just tell me you were feeling this way instead of giving me the cold shoulder for almost three weeks?" Chandler asked.
"I was afraid you wouldn't understand." Roxanne admitted.
"Wouldn't understand what?" Chandler questioned.
"Anything! Never mind! It's nothing, nothing at all!" Roxanne said quickly.
"Roxanne..." Chandler said to the hysterical blonde girl sitting next to him.
"Ok! I didn't tell you because I knew you'd think I'm crazy or something!" Roxanne shouted.
"I don't think you're crazy." Chandler told her.
"Look, I'm sorry." Roxanne said, clamming down.
"For what?" Chandler asked, confused again.
"For this whole thing...cheating on you, seducing you, not speaking to you for weeks, and most of all for what I'm about to tell you..." Roxanne's voice trailed off.
"What would that be?" Chandler asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I think I might be pregnant." Roxanne replied.
Chandler went wide-eyed. "I'm sorry, but did you just say you pregnant?"
"Yes I did." Roxanne said, looking down.
"Ok, how did this happen?" Chandler asked.
"Well, I was late with my period. I suspected that I could've been pregnant, since we didn't use any kind of birth control or protection when we had sex. So, I picked up an early stage pregnancy test from the drug store. I took it, and the results were positive." Roxanne explained.
"Well, this is certainly...unexpected." Chandler replied.
"So, you're not mad?" Roxanne asked him.
"No." Chandler replied. "In fact, Roxanne, I think these past few weeks have been a sign."
"A sign?" Roxanne asked, confused.
"Yeah, a sign that's telling us we can handle anything." Chandler said.
"I don't get it." Roxanne said, even more confused.
"Well, a lot of bad stuff has been happening between us in the past few weeks. Yet, here we are, still together. And I think it's a sign that our love for each other can handle anything, no matter what comes our way." Chandler explained.
"Oh, I get it." Roxanne replied.
There was silence for a few minutes.
But then, Chandler spoke. "There's something I've been meaning to give you."
"What?" Roxanne asked.
"This." Chandler pulled out a small box and handed it to Roxanne. She opened it...it was the engagement ring.
"Oh my gosh, it's the ring!" Roxanne said.
"Yes, I still want to get married. So Roxanne, will you marry me?" Chandler asked.
"Yes, I will marry you." Roxanne said, putting on the ring.
"What about the fact that you might be pregnant?" Chandler asked.
"Like you said: we can handle anything, no matter what comes our way." Roxanne replied.
"I love you Roxanne." Chandler said.
"I love you too Chandler." Roxanne responded.
The two of them kissed. It was a very long, and very passionate kiss. Probably to make up for not being together for the past few weeks.
(-----)
Lucy and Kevin had been watching the whole thing.
"Look, they're making out on the bench! They must be back together! The plan worked!" Lucy said happily.
Kevin just looked at her. "What?!" Lucy asked.
"It's just, I love you so much." Kevin said to Lucy.
"Aw, I love you too." Lucy said, and then kissed him.
(-----)
After the kiss, Roxanne and Chandler just sat there, looking into each other's eyes.
Roxanne realized they'd been absent from the table for quite a while. "We'd better get back to the table, Lucy and Kevin will probably want to know every detail of what happened."
"Ok." Chandler agreed.
They got up off the bench. They started to head back to the table, hand in hand.
(-----)
Lucy saw Chandler and Roxanne coming.
"Kevin, they're coming! Run!" Her and Kevin rushed back to the table.
(-----)
As Chandler and Roxanne headed back to the table, they came to a realization: their relationship just wasn't that perfect. They thought they had the perfect relationship, but no one or nothing was perfect. So their relationship may not have been not that perfect after all...but they liked it that way.
The EndA/N: No way, pinch me! I'm actually done with another story! Yay!
I'm actually quite proud of this one. Ok well, I've got to go. Once again, I'm tired and need sleep. Don't forget to review. Bye!
