Oh yea I don't own anyone. Sadly.
"Hey." Monica smiled. "What are you doing here?"
"Umm.. well you said come over whenever.." Chandler said feeling a little awkward. "Is it not a good time right now?"
"Oh no. Come in.." Monica said opening the door so he could come in. "I just wasn't really expecting you today."
"Oh.." Chandler looked over at David who was in his stroller. "You guys goin somewhere?" He bent down to play with David's hand.
"I was actually gonna take him over to Ross and Rachel's. Rachel's watching him today while I'm at work."
"Oh. "
"Don't you have to work?" Monica asked putting a couple bottles into the diaper bag.
"No.. Well I do but not til later on tonight."
"You work at night?"
"Yea.. kinda changed my schedule around.. I was hoping to spend time with David. Do you mind if.. I took care of David today? While you're at work?"
"Umm.. ok.. sure." Monica handed Chandler the diaper bag. She looked at her watch. "Oh god. I'm already late for work. Ok.. Umm.. You should give him a bottle in maybe 2/3 hours..."
"I can handle it Monica."
Monica smiled. "Ok.. Well I'll be back at 5:30." She bent and kissed David on the cheek. "I'll see you later sweetheart." She kissed him one more time and stood up. "Ok.. are you sure you'll be ok?"
"I took care of him for a couple hours yesterday.. He's still alive. Don't worry."
"Ok.. Well umm.. just call Rachel if something goes wrong.. you can reach her at Ross' apartment."
"Ok." Chandler nodded.
"Bye sweetie." Monica waved at David and smiled when he waved back. "Bye Chandler." She smiled and left.
"Hey kid.. remember me?" Chandler asked as he took David out of his stroller and walked over to the couch. He put David on his knee and looked at him. "I'm your daddy."
"Dadada." David looked at Chandler. He had big blue eyes that reminded Chandler of Monica.
"Yea.. that's right David. Dada.. that's me." He said pointing to himself.
"Ammasha." David put his fingers into his mouth.
The door opened and Rachel walked in pushing a stroller. "Monica?"
"She just left." Chandler said turning around.
"What? What are you doing here?"
"I'm watching David today. Right buddy?"
"Monica didn't tell me that.."
"Oh... well she was probably gonna call you later."
"Oh.. ok well I'm gonna go. Bye David." Rachel waved.
"You're not gonna stick around?"
"Why would I do that?" Rachel snapped.
"I .. I thought maybe we could.. talk or something."
"There's nothing to talk to you about."
"Come on Rachel. Please.."
"You can't just expect us to be friends because you came back. Chandler you know how hard it was on us when you left? Especially Monica... She was pregnant and you left..."
"I didn't know she was pregnant!" Chandler yelled making David cry. "Oh no David.. It's ok." Chandler said rocking him. "Shhh it's ok.. I'm sorry. Shhh.." David's cry slowly began to fade away.
"It doesn't matter.. you left.. How could you? I thought you loved her!"
"I do ..." Chandler sighed. "I did love her..."
"You know I've never seen Monica the way she was when you left.. none of us have ever seen Monica like that. She loved you so much." Rachel felt guilty for yelling at Chandler. Even though he probably deserved it.. it made her feel awful. "I'm sorry.."
"You shouldn't be."
"I know but you know.. So how long are you gonna stick around for?"
"When I held David for the first time yesterday.. I had this amazing.. weird feeling inside. I'm gonna be here... for the rest of his life.. I already missed so much... I wanna be here with him everyday.. I'm gonna see him everyday." Chandler said playing with his hand. "I'm gonna make it up to Monica.. all those days that I wasn't there.. I'm gonna make it up to her."
"How are you gonna make it up?"
"I don't know... Rach.."
"What?"
"Is there anyway we can be friends again? I really miss you.. I miss all of you actually."
Rachel smiled and took his hand. "We missed you too... but it'll take time for us to be friends again."
Chandler nodded.
"The rest of the guys.. well.. I don't know about them.. they pretty much hate you."
"I know. So.. you wanna introduce me to your daughter?"
"She's sleeping.." Rachel smiled and took the blanket off of the stroller.
"She's beautiful."
"Thank you."
Monica walked into her apartment exhausted. She hung up her purse and coat. Chandler wasn't sitting on the couch or in the kitchen. She walked into David's room and looked around. He wasn't there either. She looked for a note from Chandler but didn't find one. She grabbed her purse and her coat and walked down to Central Perk. "Hey you guys.. have you seen Chandler?"
"Yea I saw him this morning." Rachel said sipping her cup of coffee.
"Where did he go?"
"I don't know honey.."
"I should go to his apartment. I'll see you guys later." Monica left.
"Do you guys think you'll ever be friends with Chandler again?" Rachel asked closing the magazine she was reading and plopping it onto the table. There was an awkward silence.
Joey shrugged. "I don't know.. why?"
"I was talking to him today.. And I told him that in time we'll be friends again.. I think he's really sorry for leaving."
"Why'd he leave?" Phoebe took a sip of her tea.
"He didn't say.. but he really wants all of us to forgive him.. I mean if Monica can... we can too."
"The only reason Monica forgives him is because she secretly hopes he'll come back to her." Phoebe put her cup down on the table.
"Monica wouldn't get back together with Chandler."
"Yes she would. She loves him so much."
"Yea but she wouldn't marry him. I mean he left her." Joey said with his mouth filled with cake.
"Joey!" Phoebe glared at him and wiped off his spit. "She wants him back. Why else would she still have her engagement ring?"
"Because she has the right to keep it." Rachel crossed her arms.
"Yea but why would she still be wearing it?"
"She does not wear her engagement ring."
"Yes she does. It's on that chain around her neck."
"Ross you haven't said anything.." Joey said wiping his face with his napkin.
"I will never be Chandler's friend again. And they won't get back together." Ross shook his head and left.
Monica knocked on Chandler's door. The door opened and there was Chandler. "Hey Mon. Come in."
"Where's David?"
"In the kitchen with Holly." He walked her over to the kitchen. Holly was playing peek-a-boo with David making him laugh. "Hey Holl.. Monica's here."
"Hi." Holly said with a huge smile. "David is such a sweetheart!" She said kissing him on the cheek. "He's the cutest baby I've ever seen! He looks so much like Chandler."
"Thank you. Hi sweetie." Monica waved at David and walked over to him. "You miss mommy?" Monica took him away from Holly.
"Do you think that umm.. David could spend the night here? I mean we're not busy or anything..."
"Um.. you know what? I don't think it's a good idea." Monica shook her head. "It's a little too soon.. and David can't sleep if I'm not there."
"What do you mean? He sleeps fine.. He took 2 naps today."
"Yea but that was during the day.. at night he can't.."
"Ok.." Chandler nodded and handed Monica his diaper bag. "Maybe another time.."
"Yea."
"Alright.. well I'll see you later kid." Chandler smiled and held out his hand. "High five." David slapped his hand and Chandler kissed him. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
"Yea..We were thinking about taking him to the zoo."
"Oh.. actually.. tomorrow's my day off so you don't have to.. I'm sure you guys have things to."
"No it's ok.. we don't mind." Holly smiled and hugged Chandler's arm.
"Ok.." Monica faked a smile. She really didn't like Holly. She was too perfect. She was skinny, tall, she had long brown hair and green eyes. She was pretty well dressed and seemed just.. too perfect. "Well we better get going. Bye." Monica said as she left.
"Bye Davey!" Holly waved.
