This is an AU fic taking place during TOW Monica's Thunder. Monica and Chandler have just gotten engaged

Title: Love And War
Summery: Monica and Rachel fight but will they make up?
Chapter 3: Brother, Sister Talk
Ross went across the hall to his sister's apartment. He walked into the dark livingroom and heard soft muffled crying. He could barely make out Monica's figure curled on the couch. "Mon" he whispered walking towards her. "Go away Ross" He sighed "No" he said softly as he sat down "Why are you crying" he asked "Oh as if you didn't know" she snapped. "Do you remember a few months ago when I found out about you and Chandler?" She nodded "Well you wanted me to be happy , to understand that you two were in love and I did" he said 'So why can't you do the same for Rach and I" he asked
"You really want me to answer that" He nodded "Yeah I do" She sighed "Fine you want to know why" she looked at him "Because it had to happen tonight" she said "I've waited all my life to be engaged and unlike some people I only plan on doing this once" He shook his head "Cheap shot" he chuckled. "Look Mon we didn't mean for it to happen it just kinda did" he looked at her "She was sad and a little depressed" She laughed 'So sleeping with you is the way to make her feel better" she asked "Hey you were so depressed when I got married that you slept with Chandler" he pointed out. "So me sleeping with Chandler didn't steal your thunder did it"
"You know what Monica you're being a baby!" Ross raised his voice a little. "Hey keep your voice down before you wake up Chandler or Phoebe" she whispered "and I'm so not being a baby!" He nodded "You so are" he said "The best friend you've had since you were 6 the one you did everything with, who stuck up for you in High School is across the hall crying her eyes out" She shrugged "So" He sighed "So quite being a baby and make up with her" he said "Why" she asked "She doesn't want to lose your friendship and she loves you Mon that's why" She stood up "Look Ross I don't want to talk about this anymore tonight" she said "Now if you don't mind I'm gonna go back to bed before Chandler wakes up and sees I'm not there" she walked to her room. "Fine but at least think about what I said" She looked at him and nodded before closing her bedroom door behind her.
Monica quietly crawled back into bed. Chandler wrapped his arms around her "I was wondering when you were coming back to bed I was starting to get cold" he whispered. "You okay" he asked when she remained silent. "Mmm hmm" she mumbled "I'm just tired that's all" he nodded "Night sweetheart" he kissed her cheek "Love you" he whispered "Love you too" she said. He fell asleep but she didn't she laid in the dark in his arms staring at the ceiling thinking about Rachel and what Ross had said. He was right they'd been best friends since they were a couple of 6 year olds, they did everything together, they were more like sisters than friends. Monica wanted to make up with Rachel but this had been her engagement night, the night Chandler asked her to be his forever, the night she'd dreamt about for so long and Rachel had ruined it by kissing Ross in the hall. She wanted to forgive her but she didn't know if she could. She sighed laying her head on Chandler's chest closing her eyes hoping things would be better in the morning.
Ross walked back to Joey and Rachel's. It was now dark in there too. He headed to Rachel's room he stopped in front of Joey's room. He laughed softly when he heard him talking to Hugsy his bedtime penguin pal. He knocked on Rachel's door. "Rach" he whispered walking in. He smiled when he saw her laying there asleep. She looked like an angel wearing his old Frankie Says Relax tee shirt and her golden hair spread out on the pillow. He quietly crawled in bed beside her. She stirred a little opening her eyes. "Hey you" He smiled "Hey" he kissed the tip of her nose. "I can't believe you still have this thing" he chuckled running his hand over the fabric of her tee shirt. "Of course I do its my favorite" she said "So uh how'd it go with Mon" she asked.
"Well" he started wrapping his arms around her. "Uh oh that bad huh" she whispered "No it didn't go too bad I told her what I had to say she didn't agree but she did say she'd think about it" She sighed "Oh" He hugged her "Its going to be alright things will be better in the morning after you've both slept on it" She nodded "Yeah maybe" she cuddled closer to him "You're gonna stay the night right" He smiled "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else" She smiled "Good" she got comfortable and closed her eyes. "So did you know Joey talks to his stuffed penguin" he chuckled. She laughed "Hugsy. Yeah I do know" Things were quiet again "Ross" Rachel whispered breaking the silence "Hmm" he murmured 'Thanks for tonight, for sticking up for me and stuff" she said "I'd do anything to make you happy Rach" She smiled "Still thanks" she whispered "Night Ross" He yawned "Night Rach" Ross fell asleep but Rachel remained awake she laid in Ross's arms thinking about Monica and hoping Ross was right that things would be better in the morning that they would make up.
