The Bings- Dogs, Babies and Guests

"Morning, Daddy!" Erica grinned up at him as he walked into the room and sat down at the table next to her.

"Morning, Princess…" He yawned, kissing her on the top of the head before dropping his own head onto the table.

"Daddy!" Erica giggled, poking him. "We've got to eat off of that!"

"Hey!" He his head snapped up and looked at her. "You sound more and more like your mother everyday."

"Sarcasm and jokes are your department, Honey…" Monica stated as she walked into the room, setting a cup of coffee down in front of him. "Glad to see you're up."

"Had no choice with the T.Ts jumping on me!" He sipped his coffee.

"T.Ts?" Monica frowned.

"Terrible Twins…" Chandler shrugged.

"Daddy!" Erica exclaimed.

"Where is your partner in crime anyway?" Chandler asked, looking around the room not seeing Jack anywhere.

"He's watching cartoons with Uncle Joey…" She told him going back to her colouring.

"Isn't it scary that we use our 6 year old son to distract our 38 year old friend?" Chandler quipped causing Monica rolled her eyes.

"Whatever, breakfast will be ready any minute…" She told him as she headed back into the kitchen.

"Daddy, why are boys stupid?" Erica asked, not looking up from her colouring.

"Hey, I'm a boy."

"No your not, you're Daddy!"

"Oh…does that make me different?"

"Of course!" Erica said as if it was obvious. "Can I have a sister?"

Chandler nearly choked on his coffee. "Um what?"

"I want a sister!" She put down her crayon. "Jack only wants to do boys stuff!"

"Oh, well…what about Emma?" Chandler looked at her. "You have fun with her, don't you?"

"Yeah but she lives far away!"

"You see her nearly everyday."

"Oh yeah…" Erica replied looking thoughtful. "Can I have a dog then?"

Chandler laughed slightly at how quickly she changed her mind. "A dog?"

"Yeah, Mommy said that every family should have one!"

"Oh she did, did she?"

"Yep!" She grinned at him. "So, can I have one?"

"Well see…"

"Cool!"

Just then Monica walked in with a plate full of pancakes. "Jack, Joe! Breakfast!"

Jack was the first of the two to race into the room but Joey wasn't far behind. He picked up the little boy and placed him behind him so he could get to the table first. He stuck in his fork into the pile of pancakes, dropping them onto his plate before digging into them.

"What?" He asked with his mouthful when he saw the other 4 staring at him.

"38 Joe, you're 38..." Chandler commented.

Joey just shrugged and went back to his breakfast as the others started theirs.

An hour later, they had all finished and Monica was in the kitchen cleaning up when Chandler walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her.

"Okay, what are you after?" She asked, continuing to wash the dishes.

"I had an interesting conversation with Erica this morning…" He told her.

"Oh yeah?" She said, mildly interested.

"Yeah, she wants a dog."

"A dog?" She couldn't help but smile. "Really?"

"Uh-huh…and I was just wondering if someone put her up to that…"

"Someone?" She repeated, still not stopping what she was doing.

"So, you decided the best way to get around me is to use our 6 year old daughter." He teased.

"You think I had something to do with it?" She asked innocently.

"Mommy said every family should have one…" He imitated Erica.

"I knew I should have used Jack…" She joked, turning to face him. "Come on, a dog would be great…"

He cut her off with a short kiss before smiling at her sweetly.

"What was that for?" She smiled back.

"Because I love you…" He replied. "Anyway, I didn't come in here to talk about dogs."

"Oh, right…" She went to turn back to the sink but he stopped her. "Erica also asked for a sister."

"A sister?" She frowned slightly.

"Yeah, did you have something to do with that too?"

"No…no I never…" She shook her head.

"Oh…" He said a little disappointed. "I was kind of hoping you did."

"What?" She looked at him shocked. "You want more kids?"

He nodded. "Don't you?"

"Well, yeah but I don't know…" She stuttered. "I mean, after what the doctor said and all…I think we were really lucky to get the twins so quickly…"

"I know all that…" He said. "But I thought maybe we could…. Try…again."

"Try again?" She repeated. "As in not adopt?"

"Yeah, I mean if it doesn't work we could always go back to adoption." He claimed.

"But the doctor said…"

"The doctor said it could happen…" He cut her off. "Look, if you don't want to I understand, I mean we have the twins and I love them so much…"

This time it was her who cut him off with a kiss.

"What was that for?" He grinned at her.

"Because I love you!" She replied. "And I never thought it would be you coming to be about having more kids!"

"Oh, I just love to surprise you!" He replied, pulling her closer so she was resting her head against his shoulder. "So, uh…what do you think?"

"I think I love you and want more kids with you…" She replied, looking up at him.

"I love you too…" He said before leaning down and kissing her.

"Oh, do you two ever stop!" Rachel moaned as she walked into the room.

"Nope." Joey said as he walked in the room behind her.

"Seriously! You've been married nearly 9 years now!" Rachel continued. "You're more lovey-dovey then me and Ross, who may I remind you have only been married a year!"

"So, what's up Rach?" Monica asked, knowing her best friend to well.

"Ross is going to China!"

"The town or the country?" Joey asked, causing Rachel to glare at him.

"Come on, let's…let go…somewhere else…" Chandler pulled him out the room.

"Aww, but there's food in there…" The girls heard him moan as Chandler closed the door behind them.

"Why is Ross going to China?" Monica questioned.

"I don't know!" She sighed dramatically. "There's a dig…a once in a life time opportunity…"

"But you don't want him to go…"

"Well, I do…but it's for 6 weeks…" She told her. "Am I crazy for wanting him to stay?"

"No, of course not!" Monica assured her. "He's your husband."

"Yeah and I'll miss him so much!" She added. "But then I think about you and Chandler and how he was in Tulsa for a lot of the time and how you managed to get through that."

"Yeah but that was one of the worst time I've had…" Monica told her. "I missed him so much and it was hell just talking to him on the phone."

"But you still managed to get through it."

"Yeah…we did…" She smiled.

"Aw! I'm so confused!" Rachel sighed. "Wow this must be what Joey feels like all the time."

"What does Ross say about all this?"

"I dunno…" She shrugged. "He told me about it, I said it was great and came here."

"So, you haven't talked to him about it?"

"No…"

"Rach! You've got to listen to what he says!" She told her. "Maybe he doesn't even want to go."

"Why wouldn't he!" Rachel asked. "A once in a life time opportunity…"

"So? He might not want to leave you and Emma…" Monica stated. "And isn't Ben spending a few weeks with you while Carol and Susan are in Europe?"

"Yeah…" Rachel replied. "I never thought about it, that way."

Monica sighed, shaking her head. "Just go talk to him."

"Okay, I will…thanks Mon.." She said as she ran out the room.

"Your welcome…" She called after her.

That night, Monica put the phone down as Chandler walked into their bedroom after reading the twins a story.

"So, Ross is going to China for 6 weeks…" Monica told him as he climbed into bed.

"Wow, really?"

"Yeah, they talk about it and decided he should go."

"Oh, how does Rachel feel about it?"

"Well, she's going to miss him but she wants him to go…" She shrugged.

"Oh right, well as long as they're both happy…" He replied.

"Yeah about that…" She started.

"What?"

"Remember when Joey came back from L.A and didn't want to live alone…"

"Yeah…" He replied, curiously. "Where is this going?"

"Well, Rachel doesn't want to live alone for 6 weeks…"

"So you want her to move in here?"

"I let your best friend move in…"

"Our best friend, Mon…" He corrected her.

"Whatever…and I let you keep the duck and chick when Joey moved to L.A…" She continued. "And you won't let us get a dog."

"Hey, I never said…" He started but she kept talking.

"And it'll be fun!" She stated. "She'll help look after the twins and Joey too…"

"Well, I guess it will be okay…" Chandler sighed. "Its only 6 weeks."

"Yeah…" Monica agreed quickly.

"Emma will have to share with Erica…" Chandler said. "And Rachel can take the spare room."

"Okay but what about Ben?"

"Ben!" Chandler asked. "Well, I guess he'd be his room, at his house, in the city with his Moms."

"Uh, Ben staying with them while Carol and Susan are away…" She told him.

"He'll just have to share with Jack then because there is no where else!"

"I'm sure it'll be fine…" She smiled at him. "Thank you!"

"No problem…" He smiled at her. "So, when does this nightmare start?"

The phone rang before she could answer.

"Hello?" Chandler picked it up.

"Hey Roomie!" He heard Rachel say cheerfully. "I forgot to tell Mon we'll be over in the morning with our stuff…"

Chandler removed the phone from his ear to look at his wife, accusingly.

"Already told her yes, then?"

"Yeah, kinda…" She admitted, smiling shyly.
