Chapter 13: Taking A Big Step
Monica smiled at her reflection in the mirror setting her hand on her small bump it had been a couple weeks since she received the results of the baby's paternity test. She was still worried about it but for tonight she would put it out of her mind it was her and Chandler's second anniversary and he said he had a big surprise for her, to wear something dressy and he'd pick her up at 7. The thought of going out at night still made her nervous she'd be with Chandler though so she wasn't too worried. She heard the front door open she adjusted the straps of her long black dress that had a slit up one leg and checked her hair and makeup before she went out to the living room.
"Hi honey happy Anniversary" she grinned. When Chandler saw her he couldn't believe how beautiful she looked "Happy Anniversary Mon" he smiled "you look gorgeous" She smiled "Thank you" she said softly "So where's my surprise" she grinned "You'll see my love" he took her hand leading her out of the apartment and out to the porsha he held the door open for her then got in himself. They drove for awhile when Chandler glanced at her "Close your eyes" he said "Why" she asked "Just close them" he giggled. "Fine" she groaned closing her eyes.
Chandler parked the car a few minutes later he opened her door and helped her out he covered her eyes when she tried to look "No peeking" he kissed the tip of her nose. He led her down the street and came to a stop "Okay open them" he said. She opened her eyes "Oh my God" she gasped "The Rainbow Room! "She exclaimed "You've been wanting to come here I thought what better occasion than our anniversary" he grinned taking her hand as they walked inside. Chandler gave the hostess his name and she led them to a table. The restaurant was a romantic setting dimly lit with candle light it was beautiful but it made Monica a bit nervous. She looked at Chandler smiling at her across the table and all thoughts of being nervous left her mind.
After dinner Chandler said he had another surprise for her a horse and carriage ride through Central Park. "Its so beautiful tonight" Monica murmured "Look at all the stars" she gazed up at the sky. "Good thing Ross isn't here he'd be boring us with stupid star facts" Chandler joked but got no response from her, she was staring at an area of the park. The area where her attack had taken place she began to tremble and tears filled her eyes. "Mon" he called "Are you okay, is it the baby" he asked setting his hand on her stomach "Th...That's where it...it happened" she stuttered slightly pointing out toward the area. "Oh Mon" he said softly pulling her in to his arms "I'm so sorry this was a bad idea I...I wasn't thinking" She turned to face him "It was a great idea Chandler I love it, it's okay I...I'm okay" as to prove it she leaned kissing him. After a few second he was kissing back.
Once they arrived home they prepared to exchange gifts. Monica sat on the sofa while Chandler got her gift from where he'd hidden it. "Here it is" he grinned coming out of their bedroom handing her the small rectangle box. She took the box carefully untying the ribbon and taking off the paper. She lifted the lid gasping when she saw the contence it was a beautiful gold heart lined in diamonds "Oh my God Chandler it…it's beautiful" she lifted it out of the box. "Turn it over" he instructed softly. She turned it over smiling when she read 'My love always, Chandler' "I…I love it" she whispered tears sparking in her eyes. He smiled taking the necklace fastening it around her neck. "Happy Anniversary baby" he whispered kissing her cheek.
"Okay your turn" she got up taking his hand leading him to their room she made him sit on the bed. Her hands trembled slightly as she slid the straps of her dress down causing her dress to slip down her body dropping at her feet leaving her in the new lacy nighty she'd brought especially for that night. She walked over to Chandler and sat on his lap "Happy Anniversary honey" she whispered kissing him. "Mon" he pulled away gently "I know its our anniversary but you don't" Monica stopped him before he could finish "I know but I want to" she told him. She could tell he was still worried "its okay Chandler I'm ready …I want this" she leaned in kissing him again.
Chandler was still a bit worried he wanted her but he was worried about it being too soon or hurting her "Okay" he said softly "But promise me if...if I hurt you or you want to stop you...you'll tell me" She smiled "I promise" He smiled pulling her close to him kissing her, he hesitated slightly before touching her until he felt her undoing his shirt and tie. They continued to slowly undress each other Monica had been fine but now she was on her back Chandler hovering over her she thought about her attacker hovering over her before he hurt her.
Chandler looked down at his wife he felt her trembling "Mon may...maybe we should stop" he said softly knowing he'd hate himself if he hurt her. "No I…I'm okay" she insisted "But you're shaking" he said with concern "I'm just a little nervous" she told him "Are you sure" he asked. She nodded smiling up at him. He still wasn't too sure he hoped he wasn't doing the wrong thing, that he wasn't hurting her. He gathered her in his arms kissing her softly whispering "I love you" in her ear as he gently entered her. All of Monica's fears disappeared as soon as he whispered those words in her ear. It was already nothing like her attacker he was forceful and rough causing her pain. Chandler was moving gently holding her close whispering words of love the whole time.
Later Monica lay in Chandler's arms "So was that uh, was that okay" he asked "It was better than okay" she grinned "I umm I didn't scare you, or hurt you, either of you did I" he asked rubbing her little bump gently "Nope not at all" He finally smiled "Good, I was so worried I would and I'd hate myself if I had" He caressed her cheek "I love you so much Mon" he whispered "I love you too Chandler" she murmured "Happy Anniversary" she added "Happy Anniversary" her whispered back. They fell asleep happy, wrapped in each others arms.
