Monica slowly applied lip gloss onto her lips. She was about to go on her first date in a long time. She was actually kind of nervous. She stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. She had lost most of the weight that she had gained. She had worked really hard for the past 3 weeks and was on the Atkins diet. She straightened out her white baby doll halter top. And grabbed a pair of black Prada heels.
"Knock Knock." Rachel said coming into the room. "You look awesome." Rachel smiled. "Ready?"
"Umm.. I'm gonna pick a purse and I'll be down." Monica forced a smile on her face. She wasn't really excited about going on the date.
"Ok." Rachel smiled and left.
Monica turned back around and picked up a white Kate Spade bag. She took her Marc Jacobs bag that she was using earlier and dumped all her stuff into the Kate Spade one. She threw the purse over her shoulder and walked out of the room closing the door behind her. "Hi." Monica smiled at a tall muscular Brunette.
"Hello." He smiled back. "I'm Chad. You are absolutely stunning."
"Thank you. I'm Monica." Monica reached her hand out.
Chad took it and kissed her hand gently. "Your house is beautiful."
"Thank you." Monica smiled.
"Ready to go?"
"Yep. You know where we're going right?"
"Yea. Your parents party."
"Yea.."
"Rachel told me your Mom can be kinda brutal don't worry." He smiled at her.
She smiled back. "Let's go."
-------
Chandler ran to open the door. "Hey babe.. What are you doing here?"
Sandra ran her fingers through Chandler's hair. "I missed you."
"I thought you were going to New York.." Chandler smiled wrapping his arms around her waist.
"I was going to go.. But there's a flight later tonight and I was wondering if.. Maybe you would like to come with me."
"Oh umm... Wow.. I don't know.. I have to check my schedule but... I'd love to go." Chandler smiled and kissed her lips.
"Great. I'll be back in a couple hours k?"
"K." He gave her a big kiss and she left. He closed the door and ran upstairs to his office to see if he had anything to do for the next 2 days. He was free. So he ran to his room and started throwing clothes and underwear into a black duffle bag. When he finished packing he grabbed his jacket and duffle bag and threw it on the floor downstairs. He now had some time to kill. He plopped down on his black leather couch and turned the TV on. He flipped through the channels and stopped when he saw that they were talking about Hollywood's baby boom.
----
The night had gone great. Monica's Mom did not mention Chandler, babies, marriage, or the Golden Globes. She was busy talking to her other friends. Monica was getting lots of sympathy looks. And people kept coming up to her and saying how sorry they were. "Everyone take your seats please dinner is ready!" Judy clinked her glass with a spoon.
Monica waited for everyone to sit down before she did. She sat down and put her napkin in her lap. "Dinner looks good Mom.. Smells like Thanksgiving." Monica smiled at her mother.
"Well since your mother and I didn't really have a Thanksgiving because we were in Jamaica we decided to have one today. That's what the party is for." Jack plopped some mashed potatoes onto his plate.
"Oh." Monica smiled and sipped her glass of wine.
"Darling you shouldn't be wearing shirts like that. Not until all the baby fat is gone...well.. I don't think we should call it baby fat cause well.. There was no baby..." Judy shrugged and passed the potatoes to Ross.
"Can we not talk about that?" Monica folded her hands in her lap.
"Why not? People talk about it all the time and it's not like you pick up your phone to talk to me about it. This is really the only time I get to talk to you." Judy sipped her wine glass. "So what did you do with all the baby stuff. Maybe you should give it to Ross and Rachel."
Monica grinned and tried to hold the tears in. "I actually.. Haven't.. Umm.. Been in there since.. Then.. And I would appreciate it if we didn't talk about this right now Mom." Monica sighed looking down at her lap.
"Ok."
Chad put his hand on Monica's leg and whispered "It's ok."
Monica squeezed James' hand. "So Rachel darling do you and Ross have a date set for the wedding yet?" Judy put some yams into her mouth. "I hear sometime next winter."
"Actually that was to throw off the media. It's probably gonna be sometime this summer." Rachel smiled.
"I'm so glad my son is getting married to an amazing young lady. She's going to make the best daughter. How long are you going to wait to have children?" Judy put a piece of turkey into her mouth.
"Umm. daughter in law.." Ross nodded and sipped his wine.
"So Chad you own a gym?" Jack had his mouthful of turkey.
"Yes sir."
"Great. I'll come by and check it out."
"Jack don't talk with your mouthful. You know who just had a baby?" Judy smiled. "Jackie Sullivan."
"She is absolutely adorable!" A woman at the other end of the table gushed. "She looks just like her mother big brown eyes gorgeous blonde hair."
Monica sipped her water. "Why isn't my little harmonica eating anything?" Jack put some bread in his mouth.
"That's why she lost the baby." Judy turned her head away from Monica and said to the other people.
"She ate normally when she was pregnant." Ross rolled his eyes..
"Then why did she have a miscarriage?"
"I'm still here." Monica ate some peas.
"Well since that subject came up it wouldn't hurt to tell us." Judy smiled.
"I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"I don't know why I had a miscarriage and I don't want to know. All I know is that it was the most painful the I've ever gone through." Tears rushed down Monica's face.
"What do you mean you don't want to know? You should know!"
"No. I asked Chandler not to tell me or anybody. I wanted to drop this subject but obviously we can't drop it. You're supposed to be supportive and help me through this. But you are making this 100 times harder." Tears wouldn't stop flowing down her face. "And to answer all the messages you left on my answer machine. Yes I know about Chandler and Sandra and... I could care less if everyone's saying that she's gonna win the Oscar. I don't care if her movie was better them mine. I don't care about anything anymore." Monica sobbed. "I'm sorry if I ruined anyone's dinner." She grabbed her purse and walked to the door.
"Monica!" Chad called after her.
"I'm sorry Chad.. I just... I'm not ready."
"Want me to take you home?"
Monica shook her head as tears continued to pour down her face. "Thanks for tonight."
"No problem."
Monica stormed out and walked into the pouring rain.
He walked over to his refrigerator and tried to pull it open. Monica had baby proofed his whole house. And he didn't have time to debabyproof the house. He yanked it open once more and it popped open. He grabbed a beer and headed to his room. He looked at the door in front of him and turned the knob. The smell of babies came rushing at him. He walked into the very white room and picked up a white bear inside the crib. It was Monica's favorite bear. He sat down on the rocking chair and closed his eyes allowing tears to flow down his cheeks. He remembered when the doctor told him that they had lost a baby girl. Chandler wanted a girl. He looked at the picture on the nightstand next to him. It was a picture of him and Monica on the beach. Ross had taken the picture. Chandler had his arms wrapped around Monica's stomach. And the wind was blowing Monica's hair. She wore a dusty blue dress and Chandler wore a white buttoned up shirt with his sleeves rolled up. It was a day he would never forget. He remembered seeing all the paparazzi there. One of them had fallen into the ocean which caused the rest of them to start taking pictures of it. It was hilarious. The picture looked like it had been ripped out of a magazine. His cell phone began to ring. He took it out of his pocket and saw the name Sandy. "Hey gorgeous." Chandler smiled and sniffed. "Yea I'm all right. Yea. Ok. Ok. I'll be there in half an hour. Bye." He shut his phone and wiped the tears off his face and ran downstairs. He grabbed his wallet, keys and coat. He walked outside. It was pouring. He ran back in and grabbed an umbrella out of the coat closet. And walked back outside. He locked the door and turned around to find a woman walking towards him soaked.
