Monica woke up to Rachel's voice.

"Ross! Don't worry. I'm gonna pick up Ben and then I'm gonna pick up Emma, I'll get them ready and we'll be there before your thing starts."

Monica turned around to see Rachel talking on her cell phone.

"You're awake!" Rachel smiled. "I have to go Ross.. Bye. Love you." She hung up the phone and put it in her purse. "Sorry.. did I wake you up?"

"It's ok." Monica smiled. "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you. Wondering how you were doing."

"I'm ok... Been sleeping all day.." Monica said with a laugh.

"Are you and Pete going to Ross' banquet tonight?"

"What banquet?"

"Ross is being honored tonight."

"He is? For what?"

"For his teaching."

"Oh..I don't know if we're going.. Pete hasn't said anything.."

"How are you feeling?" Rachel put her hand on Monica's.

"I've been in this bed for the past 4 days Rach... I can't do anything. I haven't even seen this place yet.. I went from the living room to here. I have to get out of here! I'm going crazy."

"What?"

"Pete won't let me go anywhere. The only time I've been able to get up is to go the bathroom."

"Why? I thought you were only supposed to be in bed for like 2 days."

"Pete's afraid the baby is going to fall out."

Rachel laughed. "What?"

"He said that."

"You're husband is insane!"

"I KNOW!"

Rachel put her hand on Monica's stomach. "Can you remember anything?"

"I think.. bits and pieces keep coming to me.. it's weird. Whenever I sleep something comes to me.."

"That's good.. you'll get you're memory back in no time sweetie." Rachel smiled and pecked Monica on the head.

The door opened and Pete walked in. "Hey. Rach what are you doing here?"

"Just came to see how Monica was doing."

"Oh."

"Are you and Monica going to go to Ross' banquet?"

"I don't think so." Pete smiled and walked over to Monica to kiss her head. "How you feeling today sweetie?"

"Ok.. why can't we go?"

"Because you're not better yet."

"Yes I am."

"Sweetie I don't think it's a good idea."

"Please."

"Do you remember everything?"

Monica paused for a moment. "Maybe not everything but things are coming back a little.."

"Until your memory is fully back you're not going anywhere."

"What are you going to do keep me here forever!" Monica screamed.

Pete sighed. "Rachel.. can you leave us alone for a while? I need to talk to Monica."

"Sure.."

"No." Monica held onto Rachel's arm.

"Monica let her go."

"No. She's my friend she came here to see me."

"Monica we have to talk."

"Well before you came in me and Rachel were talking."

"Monica why are you acting so difficult?"

"Sweetie I have to go pick Ben up anyway." Rachel smiled and rubbed Monica's arm. "I'll see you later." She got up and left.

"So?"

"So what?"

"So when are you going to answer my question?"

"What question?" Monica glared at Pete.

"Why are you acting so difficult?"

"Because I've been trapped in this room for the past 4 days!"

"You're supposed to stay in bed! Doctors orders."

"He only said I needed to stay in bed for 2 days. I haven't even seen the rest of this apartment yet. I haven't seen anything except for these walls. He also said to go back to our normal lives."

"You don't even know what normal is!"

"No I don't but you can show me. How the hell do you expect me to remember if all I do is sleep, eat, and go to the bathroom?"

"Monica I just don't want anything to happen to you again."

"Pete please lets go to the banquet. My brother is getting honored.. I have to be there. Even if I can't remember. He's still my brother."

Pete thought for a while and started shaking his head. "No."

Monica moaned. "I don't understand how I ever married you.."

"We love each other."

"Whatever." Monica rolled her eyes. She pulled the covers off and got up.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"I'm going to get out of this stupid room!"

"Where the hell are you going to go? Monica get back into bed!" Pete screamed.

"No." Monica stormed out of the room.

"I'm serious!"

"Make me."

"Fine!" Pete grabbed Monica's arm.

"OW!"

"Shut up it doesn't hurt."

"Yes it does!" Monica yelled trying to push him off. "PETE!"

"Get back into bed Monica!" He said tightening his grip.

Monica began to cry. She stood there for a while just staring at him.

Pete pulled her back into the room. "Stay." He said leaving the room.

Tears began to flow down Monica's face. She buried her face into the pillow and continued to cry.


"Who was that?"

"Who was who?" Monica asked slowly putting her phone into her purse.

"Who were you on the phone with?"

"Nobody."

"Don't lie to me."

"Rachel... she called to see how Emma was." Monica looked away.

"You're lying."

"No I'm not."

Pete grabbed Monica's purse and took the phone out. He pushed some buttons and looked up at her. "You were talking to Chandler."

"So?"

"Why?"

"Because he asked me a question."

"Why the hell would he ask you? He knows other people. You're not the only person he knows."

"Well I'm the only person who knows what he's talking about."

"What were you guys talking about?"

"He asked me a question."

"About what?"

"It's none of your business!"

"Tell me. I'm your husband!"

"No."

"Are you cheating on me with him or something?"

"What! That's insane!"

"Is it? I mean you guys were married at some point right?"

"Pete this question had nothing to do with you. It had to do with some papers ok. It's none of your business."

"You know I can get a transcript of this conversation."

"Oh my god. Are you serious? Pete! There's nothing going on between me and Chandler! You said yourself that you'd be fine if we talked. We talked. Ok? God stop acting like such an ass!" Monica rolled her eyes and grabbed her purse back from Pete.

"Why'd you lie about talking to Chandler?"

"Because I knew you'd be mad."

"Then why do you have to talk to him?"

"Because he's my friend."

"Your ex husband."

"If your going to act like this all night I'm going to go to Phoebe's." Monica stood up and headed for the door.

Pete grabbed Monica's arm.

"What are you doing?" Monica asked struggling to break free.

"You're not going anywhere for all I know you could be going to your stupid ex husband."

"He's in Tulsa."

"So you would if he lived here." Pete let Monica's arm go.

"Whatever." Monica mumbled and walked away.

"HEY! I told you that you can't go!"

"Well I'm going."

Pete grabbed Monica by both arms and carried her to the room.

"What the hell are you doing? Let go! PETE! You're hurting me!"

"Sure."

"Pete let go! I'm serious!"

"I will." When he reached their room he let her go.

Monica touched her arms. "That hurt."

There was a long silence. Pete sighed."I'm sorry." Pete put his hands over her hands and pecked her on the forehead. "I'm sorry. I won't ever do that again. I love you so much." He wrapped his arms around Monica. "You mad at me?"

"Yea. There's nothing going on with me and Chandler. How come you can't trust me?"

"I do.. it's just.. I don't know.. I'm so sorry.. I promise I won't ever freak out like that.. it's just this guy who works for me was telling me about his wife cheating on him today and it freaked me out. I don't want to lose you... I love you more then anything."

"I love you too." Monica smiled and kissed him.

He tickled her making her laugh.


Pete came walked into the room with a tray. "Hey."

"Shouldn't you be at work?"

"I'm sorry about last night.. So sorry if I hurt you baby." He set the tray on the nightstand. "I made you some breakfast."

"Thank you." Monica grinned.

"I'm sorry.. you forgive me?"

"I guess.. I had a dream.."

"A dream?"

"Yea.. you grabbed me like you did last night and said you would never do it again."

"Oh..." He grinned. "I guess that must've been a crazy dream. I've never grabbed you like that before..."

"Oh.. I just thought maybe I was getting my memory back."

"Maybe you are... but that never happened.. Umm.. I would never hurt you."

"You did last night."

"Here." He set the tray on Monica's lap. "I gotta get to work. I'll be home around 9."

"Ok." Monica nodded and took a bite of the toast.

"Love you." He smiled and left.

Monica looked at the door. The she looked down at her arm. It was bruised pretty badly. She had never imagined that Pete would ever do that to her. When they went out he would never hurt her. Ever. Maybe he was right.. He never hurt her before.. maybe that was the only time and her dream.. was just that... a dream.
