This is an AU fic. I got the idea after watching TOW The Morning After. It takes place right after that episode. Ross and Rachel have broken up and in this Chandler and Monica were already together and the gang knows about them. Hey it's an AU fic plus they're a great couple! Monica is already working at Allesandro's. Joey and Phoebe are both single for now and that's all you really need to know.

Disclaimer: All Friends characters belong to Warner Bros., and NBC. I want to own Chandler! Hell I wouldn't mind owning Joey and Ross either!

Title: A Second Chance For Love

Summery: Ross wants Rachel back, but will she give him a second chance

Rated: PG

Chapter 1: Broken Hearts

Rachel walked into her apartment. She groaned when she saw Monica and Chandler cuddling on the couch kissing. "Ugh" she groaned "Can't you go somewhere else and do that" She looked at the notepad by the phone there were at least a dozen messages from Ross. She balled them up and tossed them in the trash. "Rach, sweetie you okay" Monica asked. "Oh wow you tore yourself away from Chandler's lips long enough to ask that how touching" Rachel hissed as she stormed to her bedroom slamming the door behind her. She fell on to her bed in tears. Monica sighed "I'll be back honey" she told Chandler getting up and walking to Rachel's door.

"Rach" Monica knocked lightly as she walked in. "What" she asked. "Why don't you talk to Ross try to work things out because it's obvious you still love him" she said sitting on the bed. "Of course I still love your stupid brother but what he did was unthinkable Mon I mean could you actually forgive Chandler if you found out he cheated on you" Monica sighed softly. "I'd be hurt, really hurt but I love him so I would try to work things out plus Ross did think you two were on a break" Rachel groaned 'We weren't on a break!" she yelled.

Ross came in and saw Chandler sitting on the couch. "Hey where's Mon" he asked. "She's talking to Rachel she walked in and saw us kissing she got all upset" Ross sighed sadly as he sat down. "I know I really screwed up but Chloe means nothing to me I was just depressed cause I thought Rach and I were over plus I'd been drinking" he paused "I need her Chandler I love her so much" Chandler nodded "I know but what you did really hurt her, what if I had done that to Mon you would have tried to kill me" He sighed "Yeah I probably would have" he said. "I can't believe I screwed this up" tears filled his eyes. "Its Rachel you two are meant to be you'll work it out just give it some time" Chandler said softly.

Monica sighed "You know what its not even about that" Rachel looked at her. "What would you know Monica you have like the perfect relationship so why don't you go back to your little make out session with Chandler and leave me alone" she yelled. "Yeah I have a great guy now but I've had my heart broken too or have you forgotten Richard" she pointed out. "Yuh huh but I'm sure all that comfort sex with Chandler helped to heal that broken heart" Monica nodded "Yes it did" she blushed "But Richard wasn't my lobster" Rachel shook her head "Ross is my lobster yeah I've heard that like a thousand times but he slept with another woman Monica I can't just forget that" she said beginning to cry again. Monica hugged her. "I love him so much but how can I trust him, how can I be sure he won't cheat on me again"

"What can I do Chandler" Ross asked "How can I show her that I love her, that she's the only one that matters to me" Chandler shrugged "I don't know man" Ross sat there thinking. He snapped his finger. "I got it" He grabbed the notepad by the phone and spent the next couple of minutes writing something. He folded it and set it on the table. "Can you make sure she gets this" Chandler nodded 'Yeah, sure" he said watching his friend leave.

Rachel pulled away and wiped her face with some tissue. 'Sorry" she whispered. "That's okay honey, come on I'll make you some tea" Monica said. Rachel nodded and followed her out to the kitchen. She sat at the table watching her fill up the tea kettle. Chandler walked over to her with the folded paper in his hand. "Rach" he said. "This is for you" Rachel looked at it. "Is it from Ross because if it is I don't want it" she mumbled. "I know he hurt you but he's trying to make it up to you the least you could do is read it" he said. "So if Monica slept with Richard you'd read a note from her" she asked. "Rachel" he started. She sighed "Fine give it here" she grabbed it from his hand. She unfolded it and read what Ross had written.

Rachel,

I love like ours is hard to find we're lucky to have found it we can't give up on

what we have. What happened that night was a mistake. I really did think we

were on a break, I know that still doesn't make it right but I won't give you up w

with out a fight. You're the one I've wanted to spend my life with since I was 15.

I'm not asking you to forgive me all at once but please just give me a chance to

prove my love for you. Have lunch that's all I want I'll be waiting for you at

Allesandro's today at noon.

Love,
Ross

Tears stung Rachel's eyes as she read Ross's words. She loved him so much. She wanted to be with him but she was afraid of being hurt again. She sighed softly as she balled up the note and tossed it but it missed the trash landing on the floor. Rachel sat sown on the soft and flipped through the TV channels.

Monica picked up the note. She was gonna throw it away but stopped deciding to read it. "Mon" Chandler whispered "You can't read that" he whispered. "Yes I can Ross is my brother" Chandler shrugged "Okay well he's my best friend" he said looking over her shoulder. After reading Ross's written words to Rachel they both looked over at her sitting on the couch her shoulders shaking slightly as she cried softly. They wondered if she was going or not. After all it's Ross and Rachel as Phoebe says they're lobsters.
