The morning of May 15, 2001 had come. In just a few hours, Monica Geller would become Monica Geller -Bing. As she pulled the comforter off the board, she ran to the living room and screamed.

"I'm getting married today!" as she ran she tripped and fell flat on her face. She bounced up and said "I may have broken a rib but I am getting married today."

Phoebe looked at Rachel as she said this. As of a few minutes ago, there was still no sign of the groom. Ross had made it a point to call as he tried to find Chandler, mostly though he was just concerned about Rachel and his unborn child.

Rachel took the phone in the room the next time he called. "Ross this isn't exactly keeping this quiet. Now people are going to know if you don't stop calling every fifteen minutes." So please I am fine ,your child is fine, Monica is not . You had better find that groom."

"I just wanted to make sure this isn't upsetting you sweetie. Mommies are supposed to take it easy " Ross assured her.

"Don't start that Mommy business with me when you still call your own mother that." Rachel snapped.

"Looks like someone's hormones have already started." he said.

"Just find Chandler and let's deal with one calamity at a time." Rachel sighed. Phoebe opened the door. Rachel put her hand over the mouthpiece.

"Is that Ross?" Phoebe asked."I'll will meet him at Central Perk. If he has been out all night and he still hasn't found him than he clearly sucks at this .I'll help him while you stall Monica." Phoebe announced.

Ross heard the loud declaration from Phoebe, "I have documented night blindness and I do not suck." he yelled into the cell phone.

Rachel had enough, "Good bye Ross." she commented. Now to stall Monica.

She went into the other room and saw Monica busily preparing her make up and hair stuff. Monica was always on a time table and prompt , this was going to be hard.

"I'm never going to find the right person. I am going to be an old maid." Rachel sobbed as she started her stalling.

"Of course you will, the right man is right around the corner." Monica assured her.

Rachel thought for a minute . Could that actually be true? Maybe she shouldn't have been so short with him? He did accidentally let her know he loved her. Well this was her friends day . now there was another disaster Joey called from the studio , he didn't know if he could get out in time for the ceremony. His co star had been drinking and couldn't function at all.

Phoebe joined Ross and they walked down the street. "Now if you were Chandler where would be the last place on earth you would hide?" Ross asked puzzled.

With in a few minutes, they were heading down the hall into the office of Chandler Bing. He sat at his desk playing a video game.

"I knew I should have hidden at the gym." he said as they entered the door.

"What the hell are you doing man? You are getting married today." Phoebe screamed.

"Panicking and using the Internet to prove I 'm related to Monica." he said in his droll little way. "How is she?"

"She doesn't know you're gone and she doesn't have to ." said Ross.

"I can't marry her. The Bings have horrible marriages. They fight they yell and they use the pool boy as a pawn in their sexual games." Chandler ranted.

"Have you put on a black cocktail dress and lured me up to your room?" Ross asked earnestly.

"No." he said softly.

"Then you are neither of your parents." "Now look we are going to take this one step at a time . You'll go home and take a shower , then maybe you will put on your tuxedo, and then maybe you'll get married." Ross said. "I have been all through this . Believe me I have faith in you man and this is going to happen."

Chandler took a breath and got up. "Okay I could use a shower." he said as he pushed his desk chair in.

"Yay." exclaimed Phoebe.

"Pheebs you get Chandler home and get him ready. I'll let Rachel know we found him and that everything is fine." Ross said.

As they started out the door. Ross dialed his cell. "Rach, yes I am calling about Chandler. We found him. Pheebs is bringing him over and we are going to help him get ready. Now I am bringing over some stuff for you to have for breakfast. You have to eat, so I will see you in a little while."

Rachel hung up the phone. "He has the potential to be a great Jewish mother ." she quipped.
