Chapter 10

Phoebe knocked on the door and waited for Joey to answer. She had just gotten a phone call from him, saying that Chandler was back and she came straight over. Once Joey opened the door, she let herself in and walked straight over to where Chandler was standing and slapped him across the face.

"That's for leaving" She said bluntly. Then a huge grin spread across her face as he pulled him into a hug.

"And that's for coming back" she added. Chandler hugged her back and smiled.

"Thanks pheebs, how have you been?" He asked as they all sat down on the couch.

She shrugged. "Oh, I'm still playing at the coffee house" She said excitedly.

"Really? That's great" Chandler replied.

"Yeah, it's not the same without you guys there though" she said less enthusiastically.

"Oh, so what happened to the others anyway?" Chandler asked.

"Well last I heard Rachel moved to New Jersey with her boyfriend. I haven't talked to her much since she left" Joey piped in.

"Yeah and Ross moved out too but I think he's still in New York" Phoebe added.

"And Monica?" Chandler questioned.

They both looked at each other and shrugged.

"We never saw her again after you left" Joey replied softly. Chandler nodded.

"I think I might go and see her" He told them.

"You sure that's a good idea?" Joey asked, concerned.

"I just want to see her, know that she's doing ok" Chandler replied.

Joey and Phoebe gave each other an unsure glance.

"If you say so but I still don't think it's a good idea" Joey told him.

Chandler shrugged and began flipping through the phone book, searching for Monica's address.

"I'll be back later" Chandler muttered as he walked out the room.

Chandler checked the number scribbled on his hand then looked back up at the house in front of him. It was a nice house with a slightly overgrown garden at the front. He opened the gate and walked down the path to the front door and knocked. A lady answered, she looked around mid fifties with graying hair and a kind smile.

"Oh hi, I umm…I think I might have the wrong house I'm looking for Monica Geller…umm…Burke" Chandler said, glancing at the address again.

"Yes Monica Burke lives here. I am the housekeeper, you can call me Mary. Please come in, I don't believe Monica was expecting a guest today" She stated as she took Chandler's jacket from him.

"I'm an old friend, she wasn't expecting me, my name is Chandler" Chandler said as he shook Mary's hand. Mary smiled at him and led him down the hall.

"She has been a little more off than usual today so I'm afraid you can only see her for a short while" Mary told him.

Chandler frowned but didn't say anything 'Probably got the flu' He thought. They stopped in front of a closed door and Mary was about to walk in when Chandler stopped her.

"If you don't mind, I can take it from here" Chandler said. Mary nodded and walked back down the hallway. Chandler took a deep breath as he grasped the door handle. Slowly he opened it and stepped into the room.

The room was dimly lit and in the double bed laid a thin and pale looking Monica. She stirred at the sound of someone entering the room.

"Mary? Is that you?" She asked, still half asleep.

"No it's me Chandler" Chandler told her softly. Monica frowned and slowly sat up to look at him.

"Am I dreaming?" She asked in a daze.

Chandler smiled and shook his head. "No I'm really here Mon, I'm back" He told her.

Tears filled Monica's eyes as she stared at the man before her.

"It's really you, I can't believe you back" She said in amazement.

"Yeah, I had to come and see how you were doing" He replied.

Monica's smile faded. "I've been dreaming of this day for so long" She mumbled.

She pulled back the covers and slowly got out of the bed and walked over to him.

"I'm so glad you're here, I was so afraid I'd never see you again" She told him tearfully.

Chandler frowned as he took Monica's hands into his.

"I missed you" He muttered, bowing his head.

"Oh Chandler, I missed you too. You have no idea how much" Monica said as she rubbed Chandler's arms and shoulders.

"The biggest mistake of my life was letting you go. I meant what I said at the airport last year. I love you and nothing else matters" She continued to tell him as tears silently fell down her cheeks.

"But Richard…" Chandler started.

"He's gone Chandler, it didn't work out between us" Monica said.

"I'm sorry" Chandler replied.

"Don't be. All I ask is that you forgive me, that's all I want" Monica told him, looking up pleadingly into his eyes. Chandler studied them for while. They seemed so full of desperation, like they were begging him.

"Monica, I don't know if things can ever go back to normal with us" Chandler told her softly, tears burning in his eyes as well. He wanted it to so bad but part of him was still telling him to back away.

"I don't care about that, I just need you to forgive me" She replied.

"Why Monica? What's going on?" Chandler asked suddenly getting worried.

"Nothing" She replied with a small smile. Her frail body was starting to tremble.

Chandler helped her back to the bed and sat down next to her.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked softly.

Monica shrugged. "I've had a really bad flu the last few days, over done it I guess" She told him. Chandler stared at her for a moment, wondering whether that was the truth.

"So uhh…what happened with Richard?" He asked, deciding to let it go.

Monica smile sadly at him. "He found out I was pregnant and decided he didn't want a family after all…he never did, he just wanted to be with me" She explained as tears filled her eyes.

"Oh Mon I'm so sorry" Chandler said hugging her. Monica leaned on his shoulder until he pulled her back.

"So you're pregnant?" Chandler asked frowning at her flat stomach. Monica almost laughed.

"His name is Daniel, he's nearly three months" She said proudly.

"You always liked that name" Chandler stated with a smile. Monica smiled back but it slowly faded away.

"It was because of me that you left wasn't it?" She asked, glancing at her hands. Chandler sighed.

"Yes and no, everyone was just so unhappy because of us, I thought if I wasn't here then no one would have to feel guilty about talking to you and you could all be friends again" He said softly.

"We could never be a group without you Chandler" Monica replied as she rubbed a hand over his cheek.

"Yeah well I can see that now" Chandler stated with a smirk.

"So why did you come back?" Monica asked curiously.

"I didn't, I'm only here on business, I'll be gone again next week" Chandler replied. Monica's heart sank.

"Oh" She said simply.

There was a long awkward silence between them. The sound of the door opening followed by a wailing cry from the baby broke the tension.

"Somebody wants to say hello, are you up for it?" Mary asked, holding the screaming child.

"Sure, bring him in" Monica told the house keeper.

While Chandler wasn't looking, Monica motioned for Mary to give the baby to Chandler. She placed the baby in Chandler arms before he even knew what was happening. Chandler froze and stared at the little bundle looking almost scared.

"I.I might drop him" Chandler said looking at Monica with concern.

"No you won't, your doing fine" Monica said, moving over so that she was sitting next to them. Mary took this as a sign that her job was done and quietly she left the room.

"He's so tiny" Chandler said in amazement.

Monica's smile grew wider as she watched Chandler with little Daniel. She had always pictured that expression, like a father seeing his son for the first time. Pity things don't always turn out how you want them to. Monica couldn't believe how adorable Chandler looked with the baby. It looked so natural and she could tell that Chandler was already falling in love with him. After awhile Chandler handed Daniel over to Monica.

"I better go, I have to go down to the office and organize this schedule" Chandler said standing up.

"Will we see each other again?" Monica asked hopefully.

Chandler nodded "Sure, maybe we can go out for dinner tomorrow night" He suggested.

"That sounds great" Monica replied. Chandler leaned over and gave her a quick hug before heading out the room.

As soon as the door was closed Chandler let out a long breath. His hand began to shake slightly. It was all coming back, all his feelings for her. After one year of being away from it all, he realized his feelings for her never had changed.

Woo! Next chapter hopefully comming soon! Please review
