Chapter 8: Complicatons

It had been almost a month since Monica's attack she was slowly starting to get her life back she still got scared at times and the thought of sex or anything related to it still frigthened her. She was preparing to take a big step she was going out to dinner with Chandler and their friends. The only places she'd gone in the last month was Ben's school and her weekly sessions with Courteney and it was always durning the day this would be her first time out at night since her attack.

Monica looked at her reflection in the mirror on her dresser. She wanted to look nice since she'd spent most of the last month wearing Chandler's sweats so she wore a red dress, the same red dress she'd woren to her and Chandler's wedding rehersal dinner. Now she was fixing her hair and makeup. A knock on the door startled her she relaxed when Chandler came in

"You almost ready honey" he asked "Just about" she turned to face him "Wow" he grinned unable to take his eyes off of her. "Wh..what" she asked "You look beautiful" he answered "Even more beautiful than the first time you wore that dress" he added "Thanks" she blushed a a little "I can't believe you remembered" He smiled "Ofcourse I did I remember everything that has to do withyou" he slowly reached and caressed her cheek gently causing her to tence up slightly "Sorry" he said softly removing his hand.

"It..its not you Chandler I..I'm just nervous about tonight" she admitted "If you're not ready we can cancel the guys will understand." he replied softly. She shook her head "No I think I'll be okay an..and if I do get scared Courteney taught me a few things I can to relax" she told him "You seem to like Courteney" he said "Yeah I do sh..she told me she was attacked eight years ago an..and thats' what made her wan..want to help other victims she's really been helping me" she said "I'm glad sheis" he hugged her "Come on we can't keep our friends waiting especially Joey" he joked. She did something she hadn't done in awhile she laughed.

A little later the six friends sat at a table at Bello's. A waiter came to take their orders Monica was okay as he took down the others orders but then he turned to her "and for you ma'am" he asked with a smile. Chandler saw she was tencing up "its okay baby" he whispered in her ear "I'm right here" he whispered squeezing her hand gently. Jis wwords and gently touch relaxed her and she was able to give the waiter her order.

The food soon arrived which wasn't soon enough for Joey. Monica looked at her pasta she pushed it around on her plate. It sounded good but now that it was in front of it didn't. Just looking at it wasmaking her stomach turn. "Honey you haven't touched your dinner are you okay" Chandler asked concerned "I...I think I'm gonna be sick" she covered her mouth as she ran from the table. Chandler watchedher worry evidant on his face. 'Don'tworry Chandler, Phoebe andI will go check on her" Rachel said as both women stood up. "Thanks guys" he responded gratefully.

Monica was locked in a stall sitting on the cold tile floor her head hung over the toilet when the girls walked in. "Mon" Rachel tapped on the door of the stall she was in "Are you okay" she asked. Monica unlocked the stall pushing the door open "I..I don't think so" she mumbled right before getting sick again. "What happened" Phoebe asked "The pasta ju..just the sight of it made me nausous" she whispered. Rachel and Phoebe looked at each other both of them knowing that feeling. Tuna and poultry gave Rachel that feeling once and eggplant gave Phoebe that feeling once. They both looked at Monica.

"Wh..what" Monica asked "Wh..what's wrong" shewas beginning to worry. "Mon" Rachel started "I..I think you uh, you might" she stopped "What? I might be what Rach" she asked "Pregnant" she replied gently. Monica just staerted at her fora minute before blinking "No" she said "No!" she said "I..I can't...I can't be" she cried "Shh calm down Mon it'll be okay" Rachel knelt down hugging her "Yeah may..maybe you're not" Phoebe added even thought she and Rachel both knew the chances were she was.
