A messenger came to Joey's door. "Is there a Mrs. Phoebe Buffay Hannigan here.?" he asked.

"I'm Phoebe Buffay Hannigan." Phoebe said as she greeted the stranger.

"I am a process server and you have been legally served for divorce. Good bye Mrs. Hannigan." the messenger left.

Everyone just sat in shock as Phoebe held the envelope. She opened it up and started to read through it. "Well I guess that's it." she said matter of factly.

Monica ran to her side and hugged her. "Phoebe I know this must seem like the end of the world right now. I know you and Mike weren't getting along for quite some time. , maybe this is for the best."

"Oh Monica , what would you know? You have a happy marriage and children and I will never get to have children I keep." Phoebe said as she broke away from Monica.

"I know divorce can be painful, Pheebs. When my mom and Dad got divorced I thought it was the end of the world and I was grown up. Plus I was divorced myself." said Rachel as she hugged her dear friend.

"That doesn't count. You were married to Ross and he always gets divorced." Phoebe said.

"Oh ho that's a good one Pheebs." laughed Chandler as Ross looked on disapprovingly.

"Divorce is not a laughing matter. Pheebs ,if anyone can sympathize with you here, it's me. When Carol left me, it tore me apart and you know that. Emily, well that was just too soon. And Rach here, well everything worked out in the end. So if you need anybody to talk to , feel free to talk to me." Ross said as he put his arms around Phoebe and gave her a hug.

"He's right I'm sorry too Pheebs, I blamed myself for years for my parents divorce. I just always use humor as a defense mechanism." Chandler said. "I'm here for you too."

"You guys are the best. Ross, I only wish good things for you because you deserve it." Phoebe smiled. "Something good is about to happen , I can feel it."

Gina smiled and hugged her, "I haven't known you that long but you're street tough like me. We got to stick together. "

Alex smiled and gave a hug too, "Phoebe, there is man out there who will love you and more importantly , he will understand the bond you have with this group of people."

Joey stared at Phoebe and she stared at him. There was a special bond or something . They had spent a lot of time together lately and he was seeing her as a beautiful desirable woman. Lauren had her points, but somehow it just felt right with Phoebe. She really knew him and put up with his eating, and sloppiness and girl watching.

Could this really be the girl for him?

Emma walked over and jumped up on Phoebe's lap."Aunt Pheebs, don't be sad , I love you."she said as she kissed her cheek.

This started Phoebe to have a tear in her eye. "I know Ems ,and there will never be anything to change that."

"Well this is all well and good and has the makings of an episode of Seventh Heaven, but is anybody else hungry?" asked Chandler.

"Hey I could whip up something real fast." announced Gina. "How about ravioli? I make the noodles myself and I think I left some here." she said as she went into Joey and Michael's kitchen.

Joey walked over to Phoebe and they strolled out into the courtyard. "Excuse us guys. " he said politely.

As the door closed, everyone started to talk about the couple that had left the apartment. They had always had the title as "uncouple." looming about them. Of the six of them, Joey and Phoebe had never slept together or had children.

"I think something's gonna happen." said Monica .

"Monica please stop trying to play matchmaker." Chandler warned. "I know you are an old married Jewish woman, but it just isn't a good idea."

"I hope Joey and Phoebe do get together. Poor Joey hasn't had that much luck when it comes to love." Rachel said melancholy as her thoughts came to her mind. He was in love with her.

"We can only wish them the best." Ross said. "And maybe this is the best for both of them."

"You guys do realize I can hear every word." Gina said as she came from the kitchen.

"Well what do you think Gina?" asked Monica.

"I think something 's already happening. It's just the way my brother acts around her. He's all starry eyed and stuff. Only one other girl did that to him , her name was Denise." Gina said .

"Correction, two other girls." added Phoebe as she looked at Rachel.

"I think it's great my brother's in love."smiled Gina.

"I know what you mean. It was the happiest day of my life when my brother and my best friend found out they loved each other. This is even better two friends in love." smiled Monica.

Michael walked in the door. "Hey everyone . Why is Uncle Joey kissing that girl in the courtyard?"

Everyone immediately got up and ran to the window. They saw Joey and Phoebe locked in an embrace and deeply entranced in a kiss.

"Well do we tell them we know or do we let them sneak around and then let them get caught in the act?" asked Chandler.

"Guys, the last of us, just hooked up." said Rachel as she watched her friends in love.

Monica put her arms around Chandler and Rachel put her arms around Ross. They were all happy for their friend.

Hope you like the Phoebe Joey lovin…there will be more….
