Hi, thank you so much for your reviews. I'm glad you did what I told you too, and reviewed me, 'cause I was afraid that no-one was reading.

We've Had Our Story…
- But What Happened Then?
Chapter 25.
Problems
"Mr and Mrs Bing?"
Monica and Chandler looked up at the doctor which stood in front of them.
"Yes?"
"We'll have answers for you in a few weeks." he said, "You did the right thing coming in, Mrs. Bing. A lot of women just shrugs it off, and that is their death. You're smart woman, but we cant say much right now. But maybe you should warn your family and tell them that there might be cancer. And just… Take it easy, okay?"
"Thank you." Monica smiled.
The doctor nodded and left.
"Don't worry," Chandler said, "It's probably nothing."
"Yeah," Monica said, "It probably is."

"This place is really great." JJ said, looking around in the living room. He turned to the man, "How many rooms are there?"
"Oh," the man said, "There is a main bedroom and another one. Are you expecting?"
"No." Gracie said, "I just need an extra room."
"Okay, but I think this will be good for what you want."
"Yeah, it does look good." JJ said, "What do you think, honey?"
"I don't know, Joey. If you think this could be it, then let's do it."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Okay," JJ said, "We're moving in here."
--
"Honey?" Matthew asked, knocking on the bathroom door, "You've been in there a long time, are you okay?"
"Yeah," Sophie replied, "But I have a problem."
"A problem? Are you sick?"
"No."
"Can I come in?"
"Yeah." Sophie said. She opened the door and walked past him.
Matthew looked after her, but then he shrugged it off, and went into the bathroom to do his thing. He paused when he saw something on the sink, "Soph?"
"Yeah," Sophie popped her head in, "What's up?"
"What is this?" Matthew asked, holding the thing.
"Oh…" Sophie said, "That's a home pregnancy test."
"What?"
"A home pregnancy test."
"Are you… I mean – are you?"
"Am I what?" Sophie smiled, liking to toy with him.
"Are you pregnant?"
"Well, it didn't get to lie there long enough for me to look before you kicked me out." Sophie said.
"Can we look now?" Matthew asked.
"Yes. What colour is it?"
He looked at it and then at her, "Blue?"
"That means I'm pregnant."

Jack looked at the house in front of him, and decided to suck it up and go knock.
Two seconds later, the door opened.
"Oh hi Jack!" Rachel smiled, "Are you alone? Why didn't you bring your wife?"
"I was kinda hoping that she was here?" Jack said, biting his lip, "But I guess that she isn't?"
"No." Rachel said, sounding confused, "What happened?"
"We sorta had a fight." Jack said, "If you can even call it that."
"I'm sorry." Rachel smiled, "But maybe she is with Ben or Gracie. You should try there?"
"Okay." Jack said, "Thank you."
He turned around and left. Rachel close the door, and smiled to her daughter.
"Thank you!" Emma said, giving her a hug.
"You do know that you'll have to talk to him sometime, right?" Rachel asked, nowhere near as excited as Emma.
Emma's face fell, "I just don't want to." she mumbled.
"No." Rachel said, "But this is a serious problem, Emma. You two have kids together. Little lives are involved. You have to talk to him."
"You're right mom," Emma said, "And I will. I just want him to learn his lesson first."
--
"I can't believe that from one week today, we're gonna be man and wife." Gracie smiled, kissing JJ's cheek.
"Yeah." JJ said, "And after that, we're moving in together."
"Hmm-mm." Gracie giggled, "This is gonna be good."
"When do you get an answer back from that TV-show?" JJ asked.
"Within the next week too, probably. Or already this week." Gracie smiled, "Mike and I are so excited. Sandy says that after they'd started taping, it had gotten good. She think it's gonna be very popular, so it would be good for us to get this."
"And you will." JJ said.
"If you say so."

Emma sighed and looked at the phone her mom had placed before her.
"Do it." Rachel said.
Emma nodded and took a deep breath.
She dialled the number and waited for him to pick up.
--
"Mike?"
"Mike Hannigan?"
"Yes? Who am I speaking with?" Mike asked.
"June Sandler. I'm the producer of ´Crazy World´, and I would very much like to have you and your partner." she paused, "Gracie Green to come in and have a little chat. We like what you sent us, and we want to have a try and hear you live. And then we'll record it with some sort of band, and then make a video, and BAM! We're ready for the first episode of the show and for your song to hit the lists."
"Okay," Mike said, "Give us a day, and we'll be there."
--
"Emma, is it you?"
"It's me, Jack." Emma said.
"I'm so glad you called." Jack admitted, "I'm sorry."
"Are you?"
"Of course Emma!" Jack said, trying not to raise his voice, he was already on deep water, "How can you even ask that question?"
"Because I don't feel like I know you anymore." Emma admitted, "And I don't feel like I want to put any energy into our marriage anymore, but you just sit there. You don't care… I don't-"
"No, Emma," Jack said, "I do care! I've just had a lot on my mind lately."
"What?" Emma asked, "What is more important than your family?"
"I don't know…" Jack said, "I've just been so confused."
"Why?"
"I don't feel like I fit in anymore." Jack said, "I want answers. I've always wondered stuff, like; ´who is my real birth mom and my real birth dad?´ and ´what does my grandparents look like´. I know Erica and I remind a lot of our parents in the way we're raised and what we believe, but our looks doesn't. I want to know where I got my green eyes from. And where Erica got her blond hair. It's a part of me."
Emma was stunned, "But why didn't you just tell me about this? I mean, I wouldn't have been supportive, but I would-"
"Exactly!" Jack said, "You wouldn't have. You would have told me to do nothing. And I… I wanted to, so I've been searching to internet. Google."
"And what did you find?" Emma asked, her curiosity getting the best of her.
"Nothing," Jack said, "Nothing."
"I can't say I'm sorry…" Emma trailed off, "'Cause maybe your mom didn't carry you in her belly and got through labour to have you, and maybe your dad didn't exactly give any sperm, but they raised you and loved you and gave you a home." Emma said, "They are your parents."
"I know," Jack said, "But I cant stop thinking about it."
"But what were you doing the other night, then?"
"I got a call from someone who said they might know something." Jack said, "And I just went there. I didn't think."
"But… Jack!" Emma said, "Your kids… How could you just leave them?"
"I don't know."
"Well, I certainly don't know either." Emma said, "It was just so irresponsible, Jack."
"I know, and I'm sorry."
"Yeah, all right." Emma whispered.
"Then what are we gonna do?" Jack asked, hoping she would come home.
Emma sighed, "I cant trust you Jack. Not now."
"Then what, Emma?" Jack said, "I miss you and the girls. More than anything. You're not leaving me are you…?"
"I don't know…" Emma said, crying into the phone, "Our love was so great. But it's not just you thinking about this there's the problem… It's a lot of stuff… I feel like we've grown apart… We want different stuff now."
"But I don't think we are that different." Jack said, "I mean… I love you. That should be enough."
"But two people so opposites, cant make it work Jack, love isn't strong enough. What was I thinking?"
"Why would you say that?" Jack asked, "A lot of people are like that. A lot of totally different people are together."
"Give me an example?"
The other end was silent for a long time, but then Jack replied, "Your mom and dad."
Then leave me a review again, please? Pretty please!? Thanks, Stessa ;p
