Hey I decided to put this up now even though future updates wont be as frequent without reviews!!!!

Monica closed Darren's door and sat down on the couch. She had just put her son to bed and was exhausted after her day. She poured herself a cup of tea and stared absentmindedly at the television. Her thoughts kept on going back to Chandler and how it didn't seem to phase him that her son was deaf. His own father could hardly handle the fact that his son was deaf and hadn't even bothered to go to sign language classes Monica had signed him up for; he was too busy working with his secretary on late night business.

Monica was glad to hear the phone interrupting her train of thoughts.

"Hello"

"Hey its Phoebe how are you,"

"Good actually I was just thinking about Jeff "

"Monica I hate to think you even think about him he isn't worth it"

"No Monica interrupted he was such a waste, I cant believe I spent so much time even thinking about him, I'm going to get my life back he isn't worth it"

"Yes well two years is too long to dwell on such a jerk if you ask me" Phoebe offered.

"I know it just clicked with me I had to go to my new neighbours this afternoon as I was locked out he played with Darren more in half an hour than Jeff did in two years, I just realised then and their that Jeff is not worth it"

"Oh and who is this new neighbour" Phoebe teased.

"Shut up Phoebe, it wasn't that it was just the fact that he acknowledged him and he was a total stranger ,I dunno I guess I spent too much time trying to figure out why Jeff had no time for us, its simple he was a jerk and always will be"

"And would this new neighbour by any chance be good looking" Phoebe teased recognising the tilt in Monica's voice that she hadn't heard in so long when Monica had a crush.

"Well he wasn't hit with the ugly stick, but that's not where this came from it just struck me that I really don't care about Jeff anymore" Monica explained.

"Well this is great now we can completely absolve Jeff from your life ooh ooh lets burn all your old Jeff things"

"No phoebe no ceremonies not after the last time" Monica shut her off remembering the last time Phoebe had performed a ceremony.

"We will see woman, anyway I better get going ill see you at breakfast tomorrow"

"Seeya" Monica replied while clicking down the phone.

Monica woke up at seven the next morning to see her son jumping down at the end of her bed. She lifted up the quilt and signed for him to come join her under the quilts as she was not quite ready to get up.

After a few minutes Darren inquired as to when Joey Rachel Phoebe would be coming over, Darren loved breakfasts as all of his mommies friends came over. Monica jolted up as she realised that they were due to come at 8 today instead of the usual half eight.

Monica tied her robe around her waist and ran out to the hall to collect the milk and the paper. As she bended don to collect the paper she heard a voice greet her.

"Hi there Monica"

Chandler laughed as he noticed Monica hair all messy on her head.

"Oh hi Chandler your of to work early she said glancing at her watch indicating it was still only half seven.

"Oh I don't start till nine but I'm looking for a diner to grab breakfast I still have to do my food shopping and until then I don't want my tummy here to be left empty" He said patting his stomach while smiling at her.

"Oh your welcome to come here for breakfast I have my friends over almost every morning for breakfast it's the only time that we get to see each other all together" Monica offered her stomach doing somersaults.

"If you don't mind I will its just I don't feel like facing the morning snow its freezing out there" Chandler said.

"The more the merrier come over at 8 I just need to get myself and Darren ready for the day"

"Id say that's a tough task getting a four year old ready for a day in winter in New York" Chandler laughed

"You've no idea" Monica sighed although she loved her son she sometimes was exhausted from doctors appointments ,kindergarten and the fact that she had no one else to help her out, her friends tried but they had their own lives to live.

"Well ill see you at eight so, I'm actually glad now an extra half hour sleep I'm not the best morning person "Chandler laughed

"God i can't remember the last time I had a lie in" Monica laughed "id say somewhere about 1995"

Chandler threw his suitcase on the counter as he tried to kill the half hour before his breakfast at Monicas.As he waited Chandler couldn't stop thinking about Monica he desperately wanted to find out her situation there didn't seem to be a father in the equation. He decided he wasn't going to probe for answers as he didn't even know her even as he acknowledged this fact he still couldn't help but think about how beautiful she was and how great she was with her son.

"AS Monica opened the door she was surprised to see Chandler usually Ross was the first over with Rachel"

"Hi," Chandler frowned as he looked around the room and realised no one else was there" I'm sorry I'm early ill come back in a few minutes" Chandler fumbled/.

"No, no wait everyone will be over soon" Monica offered as she began to pour him a glass of juice.

Chandler was embarrassed he felt like he was gate crashing her breakfast. As he sipped his juice he heard the noise of voices outside.

"Hey" Chandler looked up as two girls and two guys entered the room.

"Hee hee Monica got herself a little action last night" a dark haired man sniggered as he looked over at Chandler.

"Shut up Joey" Ross said "That's my sister you're talking about."

"I dint stay here" Chandler stuttered scared to see what Monica's brother would think of him.

"Guys this is Chandler, he moved in across the hall I invited him over for breakfast he helped me out yesterday when I was locked out remember Ross.

As Chandler cleared his plate, he complimented Monica "you should be a chef Monica that was delicious"

Chandler seemed confused as everyone laughed even though Darren couldn't hear he laughed as Ross signed to him what Chandler said he too burst out laughing.

"I actually am a chef Chandler in a restaurant of wall street its called Allessandros"

"Well you certainly found your vocation "Chandler quipped.

As the group watched Monica interact with Chandler they all exchanged knowing glances, they recognised the way she was acting Monica had a crush.

"I better get going can't be late the first day, can I" Chandler laughed.

"Hey man ill call you about that knicks game" Joey said

"Yeah we will have you converted pretty soon to basketball New York style" Ross interjected.

As he left Chandler patted Darren on the head and waved bye to his new found friends. In the space of a half hour he had been invited to a knicks game a New years ball and another dinner.

AS the door slammed everyone turned to Monica giving her a questioning look.

"What" she exhaled laughter "He definitely didn't stay a)i don't know him b)I don't fancy him c)what would Darren think."

"Please" everyone said together " you are way into him." Ross said

"Yeah and he wants to be into you too" Joey laughed.

"Dude that's my sister" Ross said.

"Come on Mon he is gorgeous" Phoebe said "if Mike wasn't around id be after him in a flash and you even said yourself he wasn't bad looking"

"Oh she did did she" Rachel said smiling "Well you wouldn't be wrong did you check out his ass."

"Rach" Ross said screaming at his girlfriend.

"Ok he is cute but we are just friends, besides I have other things in my life she said looking at Darren "Who right now I have to bring to kindergarten so everybody out"

After the other left Darren signed to his mother "What" Monica signed back.

"I like Chandler" Darren signed.

"Me too" Monica whispered.
