"What?"
"You can't love me.. No. I don't deserve your love. I slept with another woman while we were married and that is just not forgivable."
"What do you want?"
"I want you to not forgive me. I want you to not love me because I don't deserve it. I want you to love someone better for you. Someone who won't be an idiot and sleep with someone else even though they are completely in love with you. I want you to find a good guy."
"I already did."
"Not me. I'm not a good guy."
"If you don't love me just tell me." She smiled. "I'll be fine with it."
"I do love you.. but I don't deserve you."
"But I do. I don't care about the past anymore.. I learned that I can't live in the past. It's time to move on. Start fresh. I want to be with you. "
"I don't want to be with you." Chandler said quietly. "I can't hurt you again."
"I trust you.."
"Monica you don't know what it's like to hurt the one person you care the most for."
Monica sighed and stared at him.
"You look absolutely stunning tonight.. have I told you that?" He smiled.
Monica let out a small laugh. "I don't know you might've said that a few times.. 20.. 50..times maybe" She stared at him a little longer. "Come on Chandler.. what are you scared of? We've been married before."
"You really want to be married to me again?" He laughed. "I mean even though I never threw out the trash or helped around the house... and whenever I did I'd mess up."
"I enjoyed it. " She smiled. "Isn't this what you were trying to ask me the day you dropped me off?"
"Yea.. but I figured you would never want to be with me again.. and that I don't deserve you. What about that coach? I hear he's a really successful lawyer.. I mean he sounds pretty damn good. He's rich.. and he somehow has time to coach boys basketball. He volunteers.."
"Where did you here all this?"
"I've been chatting with some of the mothers at the kids school." Chandler said with a small smile. "They all seem to think that you two are an item."
Monica rolled her eyes. "So you would rather have me be with Steve than with you?"
"Yes. I bet he would never cheat on you."
Monica smiled. "Whatever. I'm going to sleep." Monica stood up. "We'll finish this discussion when youstop puttingyourself down."
"You're beautiful." Chandler said staring at her back. "Welcome home."
"Night." Monica smiled.
"You want me to go home?"
She shook her head. "I want you to stay."
"Then stay down here with me." He smiled. "Please.. I'm scared of the dark."
She sighed and sat down next to him. "I have to change out of this dress."
"I'll help you." He smiled.
She gave him a slight push. "You don't want me remember?" She moved closer to him and planted a passionate kiss on his lips.
"But I do." He whispered taking her hands. Be my wife?" He pulled away a little bit.
"Not yet." She whispered back.
"Will you be my girlfriend.. again?"
She smiled and shrugged. "I don't know.. all the things you said got me thinking again. I mean you don't take the trash out, you don't clean, you can't clean, you can't cook. I don't know.." She smiled and looked at him for a while. "Besides..I thought you would rather have me go out with Steve then with you."
"Yea.. I thought about that.. but umm..." He thought for a while. He couldn't think of anything."We're starting fresh remember?" Chandler gave her a small smile.
"Oh yea.. then yes I'd love to be your girlfriend."
"Good. Now since our relationship started off with sex last time.. we should do that."
Monica laughed. "I'm really tired."
"It's good exercise."
She giggled and stood up. "I'm gonna change. You can come with me if you want."
He smiled. "It's ok.. I'll be down here."
"Aren't you scared of the dark?"
"It was one of my lines."
"I should've know." She said sarcastically. "I'll be back." She said starting up the stairs.
"I love you Mon.."
She stopped and turned around. "I love you too." She said flashing him a huge smile.
He stood up and ran towards her. "I think I am scared of the dark." He said hugging her. "Come on lets go get you out of this dress." He smiled taking her hand and leading her to her room. When they got to her room he closed the door and started kissing her. "I miss kissing you." He smiled kissing her again.
"What are you doing daddy?" Erica asked as she walked into Monica's room carrying a bear.
Chandler practically jumped off Monica. "Erica.. baby.. what are you doing up?"
"I can't sleep. So I wanted to sleep with mommy." She smiled. "Why are you on mommy's bed with mommy? What were you doing to mommy?"
"What's wrong with your bed princess?"
"I just want to sleep here with mommy." She said trying to climb onto the bed. "So why are you sleeping on top of mommy?"
"Umm.." Chandler looked over at Monica, who looked very amused. "I... was falling down and your mother caught me."
"Why did you fall?" Erica asked wrapping her arms around Monica.
"You should be asleep. Night princess." Chandler smiled pecking her forehead.
"Can I sleep here mommy?"
"Of course." Monica smiled. "I'm going to go change."
"I like your dress mommy." Erica said as she got under the covers.
"I like it too." Monica said smiling at Chandler.
"Night daddy I love you." She said blowing him a kiss.
"Love you honey." He returned the kiss. "I'll see you guys in the morning."
Monica walked over to Chandler. "You're not staying?" She asked quietly.
"I don't think so."
"Please.. for your girlfriend." She grinned.
"I'll be on the couch." He smiled and quickly pecked her on the lips.
"Ew." Ericagiggled. "Daddy you just kissded mommy."
"I'm sorry." Chandler smiled and pecked Monica again.
"You did it again daddy!" Erica giggled.
"Shouldn't you be sleeping?" Monica smiled.
"Yes mommy." Erica smiled and closed her eyes.
Monica turned back around and kissed Chandler. "I'll try to come downstairs for a little snack."
"K." Chandler whispered and kissed her again. He heard Erica's giggle. "Little missy."
"Sorry." She said still giggling.
"I'll see you later." Chandler smiled. "Good night Ms. Erica Bing."
"Why were you kissing mommy?"
"Because I love her."
"You never kiss mommy."
"Well things will be different now. I'm going to be kissing your mom a lot." He smiled. "Well I'll be downstairs. Night princess."
Chandler looked over at Monica. He could tell she was really happy. He put an arm around her and kissed her lightly on the cheek, making her look at him and smile. "I love you." He whispered.
"I love you too." She whispered back. She looked at him for a while before turning back to Jack's basketball game.
It had been about nine months since they had gotten back together and basketball season had started. Jack was able to play since he no longer had a broken arm. Monica and Chandler were still not married, but were planning a wedding. "I'll be back." Chandler said standing up. "I'm gonna get Jack a drink for when he's finished." He walked off and walked over to a vending machine to get Jack a sports drink. He walked back into the gym and saw that everyone was on the court around the kids. He looked around for Jack and Monica. He found Jack talking to his friends, so he started walking towards them until he saw Monica. He smiled and walked over to her wrapping his arms around her and planting a tiny kiss on her lips. "Hey honey."
"Hey." Monica smiled.
"I'm gonna go give this to Jack." Chandler said unwrapping his arms. He looked at who Monica was talking to. "Oh hey Steve. Sorry I didn't see you. Great game." He said giving him a nod. He looked at Monica and back at Steve. Steve was looking at Monica like he was looking at her the first night Chandler went to the game.. but Monica wasn't looking at him that way. "I'll see you tomorrow Steve." Chandler said turning around to find Jack near him. "Hey kid!" Chandler said as he handed Jack his drink. "Good game!"
"Thanks dad." Jack smiled.
"So are you and Chandler together?" Chandler heard Steve ask.
"Yea."
"Oh.."
"I'm sorry Steve.. You're a great guy.."
"Are you sure about him?" Steve laughed. "I mean.. you guys were divorced I mean there must've been some reason."
"I love him. Steve you'll find someone."
"Congradulations."
"Thank you."
"Well I'll see you tomorrow then."
"Yea bye."
Chandler felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around with a big smile.
"Come on lets go pick up Erica." Monica smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "I love you." She said as she pulled away.
"Me too." He took her hand. "Come on Jack."
"Coming daddy!" Jack yelled.
