"Erica, baby, your food is supposed to go in your mouth not on your face." Monica said softly as she grabbed a towel and began to wipe spaghetti sauce off her baby girl's face. "You are a cutie."
"Sketti!" Erica giggled.
Monica smiled and kissed Erica's blonde hair. She turned around and found Jack covered in spaghetti sauce. Monica laughed. "Jack.." Monica smiled . "Next time I'll feed you your spaghetti." She began to wipe the sauce off his face when she heard the front door close. "Hey honey you have to come in here and see this!"
"What?"
"The twins are covered in spaghetti! Come help me clean them up." Monica put the towel in the sink. "You two be good now. Mommy will be right back." She smiled and walked over to Chandler who was heading up the stairs. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing.. I'm really tired. I'm gonna take a shower." He didn't turn around to look at her.
"Ok.." Monica smiled. "I love you."
"I love you." He said not moving at all.
"Ok well dinner's ready." She smiled. "Are you sure everything's ok?"
"Yea.. I'm just gonna take a quick shower and I'll be down in a second." He proceeded up the stairs.
Monica felt bad for him because she knew he was working so hard at work to get a promotion which he had been waiting for. She smiled and walked back to the kitchen and found that the twins had thrown their bowls onto the floor.
"Sketti!" Erica screamed and giggled as she pointed to the ground.
Monica sighed. "You guys.." Monica grabbed a paper towel and began to clean up the mess.
"Hey Mon." Rachel smiled as she walked through the kitchen door. "Oh.." She said as she stopped and saw the spaghetti mess. "Monica you are the only mother I know who would clean up a spaghetti mess on the floor in heels and a gorgeous dress. You look great Mon."
"Hey Rach." Monica smiled. She was wearing a sexy red dress and an apron. "Mind helping me clean the twins off?"
"Sure." Rachel took Jack out of high chair and brought him to the sink. "Why isn't Chandler helping? I saw his car outside."
"He's taking a shower. I feel so bad. He's been working so hard these past couple of weeks for that promotion. He's been so stressed out. Thanks so much for watching the twins tonight." Monica said throwing the paper towels in the trash.
"You guys do it for me and Ross all the time so we're happy to do this for you."
"Chandler's been wanting this for such a long time."
"I know." Rachel laughed. "One Bing cleaned." Rachel smiled and put Jack on the floor and walked over to Erica and brought her to the sink.
"Jack no!" Monica said as she pulled Jack away from the mess.
"Sketti!"
"Two clean Bings." Rachel smiled and went over to pick up Jack. "I think we're going to get going so you two can start your night." Rachel smiled.
"Thanks so much again Rach. Their bags are by the door." Monica stood up and gave the twins a big kiss on the cheek. "Mommy's going to miss you two." She kissed them both again. "Have fun at auntie Rachel's."
"Bye bye." Jack waved at Monica.
"Bye bye." Monica smiled and waved at Jack. "Bye honey." Monica smiled at Erica.
"Bye." Erica waved and copied her brother.
"Do you think Chandler's going to want to say bye to the twins?"
"I'm sure he'll be fine Mon." Rachel smiled and grabbed the twins bags. "Bye Mon. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye." Monica smiled and waved at her kids. She closed the door and cleaned up the remaining mess from the twins and pulled the two high chairs out of the way. She could hear Chandler coming down the stairs and she quickly lit the two candles that were sitting on the kitchen table. She walked over to the lights and switched them off. She took the apron off and put it on top of the counter.
"Woah.. what is this?" Chandler asked as he stopped and looked around the room confused.
"I made dinner for the two of us." Monica smiled.
"What happened to the twins?"
"Rachel took them."
"Oh.."
"Sit." Monica smiled pointing at a seat.
"I don't think I'm really dressed for the occasion.." He said referring to his pajama bottoms and plain white tee.
"It's ok." Monica smiled and waited for him to comment her on how she looked.
"The food looks great." He smiled and sat down.
Monica sat down a little disappointed that he didn't notice. "Yea. It's only spaghetti.. nothing special."
"Right." He smiled and began to twirl his for in his spaghetti. "Well I love spaghetti." He nodded as he swallowed.
"Good." She took the bottle of wine and began to pour it in the two glasses. "So how was your day?"
He continued to eat and nodded. "It was.. you know.. just you know.. same as everyday.." He licked his lips. "How about yours?"
"Good. The twins were so cute today. Today I was giving them a bath and Erica kept splashing around in the tub. It was the most adorable thing. The twins made a huge mess in the kitchen today." Monica laughed.
"Oh. We should really train them not to.."
Monica put some spaghetti into her mouth and nodded. "Yea.." He didn't find it funny.. He usually found things like that hilarious and would make some sort of sarcastic comment. He must've been really tired. "Are you sure you're ok honey?"
"Yea." He nodded and bit off a big piece of bread. "I'm fine."
"Ok.." They finished the rest of the dinner in silence and after dinner Chandler helped Monica clean up. They walked to their room and Chandler plopped down onto the bed.
Monica sat on the bed and took off her heels. Even though the night didn't go the way she wanted she still wanted to have sex with him and she knew that he would want to too. She turned around and crawled over to his side. "I love you." She whispered and began to kiss his neck. She could feel Chandler tensing up and he moved away. "What?"
"Nothing I'm just really tired."
"Oh.. I'm sorry.. I thought you'd want to do it because we haven't done it in a while and you've been wanting to.."
"I do.. but I'm really tired honey."
"Ok... I guess I should go pick up the twins then." Monica said getting off the bed. "I'll be back soon." Monica put some flip flops on and walked to the door.
"I'm sorry Mon.."
"I understand." Monica smiled. "We'll do it when you're not tired." Monica opened the door and was about to close it.
"Monica."
She stopped and turned around.
Chandler got up and took her hands and made her sit on the bed. "I love you... "
"I love you too." She smiled and kissed his cheek.
"I need to tell you something.."
"Ok."
"I want you to know that I love you more than anything. You and the twins mean absolutely everything to me. And I think you are the most amazing woman in the world... " He swallowed. "But.. today I did something that I really regret."
"What'd you do?"
"I accidentally... had... sex with someone else."
Monica felt her heart stop completely. What? Could she have heard that right? He slept with another woman? Maybe it was a man... maybe he took after his father. She would be a tad happier if it was a man, even though she wouldn't necessarily be thrilled, but she highly doubted it was a man.
"I'm so sorry.." He said holding onto her hand.
"Do I know this person?" Monica said not moving.
"Nicole."
Monica felt her heart sink. Nicole. She was a beautiful woman. Brunette, blue eyes, incredibly thin or maybe it was the other Nicole.. the overweight, frumpy one. "Skinny Nicole?"
"...Yes.."
Monica stood up and walked towards the door.
"Monica please... I'm so sorry. You know I love you more than anything. Monica.."
Monica looked at him tears wanting to escape. "I'm gonna go pick up the twins." She said quietly.
Chandler walked to his office carrying Jack not looking very happy. Jack had broken his arm during recess and Chandler had to go with him to the hospital. "Daddy I'm thirsty."
"Hey Jules." Chandler said walking by his assistant's desk.
"Hey." She smiled. "How are you feeling Jack?"
"I'm thirsty." He said as Chandler let him down.
"Do you think you can get him some juice or something?" Chandler asked looking through his mail.
"Yea sure."
"Thanks." Chandler took Jack's hand and lead him to his office. He threw his mail on his desk and sat down on his couch. He crossed his arms and made Jack stand in front of him. "Jack what did we learn today?"
"Never climb on the monkey bars and play monkey in the middle at the same time."
"Jack your mom is not going to be happy when she comes home to a broken child. What were you doing sitting on the monkey bars throwing a ball?"
"I thought it was fun." Jack smiled.
"Did you think it was fun when you fell off and broke your arm?"
"No. I thought it hurted." Jack took a seat next to Chandler.
"Doctor says you can stay home from school tomorrow if your arm hurts."
"YAY!" Jack screamed.
"How does your arm feel now?"
"It doesn't hurt a lot no more."
"Good." Chandler kissed the top of Jack's head and walked towards his desk. "Hungry?"
"No." Jack sighed and looked at his cast.
"Why do I have to wear the blue thing?" Jack asked referring to his sling.
"Because the doctor said so. Jack no more climbing on the monkey bars."
"Ok."
"Here's your drink.." Jules said walking into Chandler's office. "Need help opening it?"
"Yes please."
"Alright." She smiled and opened the bottle for him.
"That's not soda is it?"
"No it's apple juice."
"Ok." Chandler nodded. "He's not aloud to drink soda."
"Alright." She smiled and handed him the bottle. "I'll be at my desk." She walked out of the room.
"When can we see mommy?" Jack sipped his juice.
Chandler looked up a little surprised to hear the question. "I uh... I don't know."
Jack looked down at his juice. "Is she going to yell at me?"
"What do you mean?"
"Cause I broked my arm."
"No she's not going to yell."
"Ok." Jack sipped his juice again and walked over to put it on Chandler's desk. "I love you daddy. I'm sorry I broked my arm."
"Don't worry about it." Chandler smiled and held his arms open.
Jack walked over to him and put his non broken arm around him. "I love you daddy."
"I love you too kid."
I hope you liked this chapter. About the Monica's love thing. I thought about it and I didn't want to say like 2 or 3 because I wasn't sure if there were other guys in the past before the show that she might've loved. And I didn't remember whether or not she said I love you to fun Bobby and I was just.. not sure so I made it a lot. Sorry. Thanks for the reviews for the last chapter. Please review this chapter!
