Monica's eyes widened. "Excuse me?"
"Yea. Your pregnant! Why the hell didn't you tell me?!"
"Who told you I was pregnant?"
"Joey did."
"And you believe him?"
Chandler thought for a while. "Yea...He heard it from the elevator people!"
Monica gave him a look.
"That does sound weird..." Chandler turned around and looked at the door. Then he turned around again and looked at Monica. "How about a good-bye hug?" He said opening up his arms.
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"Why not? You've done it before. This one last time won't hurt."
"Right." Monica smiled nervously. She looked around her desk and grabbed a manilla folder and put it in front of her as she stood up. "I have to give these to Laura." Monica smiled and walked closer to him. "Ok.. let's umm.. hug."
"It's ok. You can give those to Laura first." Chandler smiled. "I'll wait." He said walking over to a white couch and sat down.
Monica glared at Chandler and as she walked closer to the door she walked over to her desk and threw the folder down. "Fine! You win! I am pregnant."
"I knew it! The elevator people are NEVER wrong!!" He jumped up and pointed to Monica's stomach. "Why the hell didn't you tell me?"
Monica thought for a while. "Wh..Who.. said it umm.. it was yours?"
"Who's would it be?"
"...my ex-boyfriend..... He left me." Which wasn't a lie. Chandler was her former boyfriend and he did break up with her.
"Oh."
"Yep... I haven't seen him in a while."
"Oh... well.." Chandler sighed and faked a smile. "That's great. I umm... hope you have a wonderful life.. and baby. Congratulations." He nodded and walked out of the office. "Greene.." He said walking towards the elevator.
Rachel watched him walk away and ran into Monica's office. "Did you tell him?"
"I told him it was my ex boyfriends..."
"WHAT?"
"MONICA!"
"I didn't lie.. he was my ex-boyfriend."
"Why didn't you tell him?"
"He wouldn't want to be a part of this. He broke up with me because we were getting to closer. This would make us have to be even closer. Even though I know that's not the real reason he broke up with me.."
"Monica you're going to babble forever. You have to tell him. If he didn't care he wouldn't have been here."
Monica sighed. "You're right."
"You're not going to are you?"
"If he's smart enough he'll.. figure it out."
3 Months later...
"Monica Phoebe Buffay is here."
"Thanks Laura." Monica smiled and stood up adjusting her black pencil skirt. Her stomach was definitely bigger and was kind of covered up by Monica's white shrunken blazer.
"Hello." Phoebe smiled as she walked into Monica's office shaking her hand. "You're pregnant?"
Monica smiled and put her hands on her stomach. "Yes I am."
"Aww." Phoebe smiled. "How far along are you?"
Monica pointed to the seat and walked over to sit behind the desk. "6 months."
"So you're due in January?"
"Yes."
"That's around the time the compaign should be done."
"Yes."
"Will you be able to handle it?"
"Absolutely. The baby will not get in the way at all. I promise."
"Great. My friend Jason Corbeil recommended me."
"He's the sweetest."
"He really is."
Rachel walked out of her room putting her earrings on. "Mon you wanna go to dinner with me and Ross?"
"No thanks. I have to finish this tonight."
"Monica you've been sitting there all day working. You haven't taken a break you haven't even eaten Mon. It's not good for the baby."
"I'm almost done."
"You need to eat."
"Jeez you make it seem like I'm anorexic! I ate lunch! I'll eat when I'm finished. I can't get food all over my stuff."
"Monica why don't you let Ross help you out?"
"Because this is my first major campaign Rach. My parents already don't think I can do this."
"Hey." Ross smiled. "Still working?"
"Yep."
"Ross tell her to let you help with this. She's over working herself."
"Shut up Rachel."
"She's right Mon. You've been working nonstop for the past week."
"Well this is a big.."
"Who cares. Monica your health and the baby's health come first."
Monica rolled her eyes. "Aren't you guys going to be late for dinner?"
"Yea we are." Ross looked at his watch and took Rachel's hand. "Bye Mon."
"Bye."
"We'll be back before 11." Rachel said grabbing her coat and left.
Monica sighed and continued working. She worked for about another hour and was finally finished. She stood up and walked over to the refrigerator to see if she could make anything. There was nothing but juice and water. She didn't have time to go to the grocery store. So she decided to go out. She walked into her room and changed into a black cashmere sweater, jeans, and some black pointie flats. She grabbed her coat and her purse and left. Monica stepped into Central Perk and the smell of coffee came rushing at her. "Hey Gunther can I have a muffin and some tea?"
"Sure."
"Thanks." Monica smiled and walked over to the couch.
"Monica. How are you?"
Monica turned around to see Chandler walking over holding a tall thin brunette's hand. "Good."
"Oh this is Debbie." Chandler smiled taking a seat next to Monica.
"Hi Debbie." Monica forced a small smile. But Debbie kept giving her a dirty look.
"Here you go." Gunther said putting Monica's muffin and tea in front of her.
"Thanks actually can I get this to go?"
"Sure."
"I'm going to the bathroom." Debbie said getting up and walking over to the counter and asked where the bathroom was.
"She's nice."
"She really is. She's just a little mad. She had a bad day at work."
"Oh. So how long have you been going out?"
"Our 4th date."
"Oh." She said rubbing her stomach.
"You're getting bigger."
"Yea I am."
There was an awkward silence. "Umm.. you're going to be a great mom."
"Thanks." Monica smiled.
"I mean it.. you're going to be great."
"That's sweet." Monica bit her lip. Maybe it was time to tell him. He did deserve to know... "Chandler.."
"Yea?"
"Chandler let's go!" Debbie said standing near the door.
"Hold on swe.."
"NOW! I'm hungry." Debbie rolled her eyes.
"I'll see you around," Chandler patted Monica's leg and stood up.
"Why the hell are you being nice to her? Your supposed to hate her! I mean even I know your supposed to hate her and all I do is model for you." Debbie slapped Chandler's arm as they walked out.
Monica watched as Chandler continued to walk and let Debbie yell at him. As soon as they were out of sight she sighed and rubbed her head.
