*A MONTH LATER*
"Oh my goodness, I forgot to give you guys this note" Gunther exclaimed when he saw the note from Joey sitting near the register. "I'm truly sorry that I abandoned you guys in 2005(I mean't to say 2005 in the 1st chapter and made a mistake , because 12 years would mean that it was currently 2016 while I wanted the time to match the real life time in 2015. Silly me), I just couldn't help it seeing you guys happy and me not happy, so I left. I am now back in apartment #19 and would like to see you guys again" Ross read out loud. "We forgive you Joe and we miss ya" Monica wrote in very neat cursive and handed the note to Gunther. "Me and Ross gotta get to work. See ya all later" Chandler said. Then he and Ross left. "We've gotta go to work too" Phoebe said "Are you ok with being alone for the day while the kids are at school and us at work?"Rachel asks, "Yes I can try to enjoy my day off from the restaurant " Monica says "Ok I'll drop by here on my lunch break" Rachel says. Then she and Phoebe leave.
~LATER THAT DAY IN CENTRAL PERK~
"Hi Mon. Guess what I have with me right now?" Rachel asks in a happy voice, holding something behind her back. "What a chefs hat, a bottle of hot sauce?" Monica asks "No a teddy bear" Rachel admits then she pulls the teddy bear from behind her back. "Ta da!" She exclaims "I thought that was Chrisssy's teddy bear(me)" Monica says "It is but Chrissy let me borrow it for today" Rachel says confidently "Oh my goodness a cute little teddy bear. What's it's name?" Monica asks amazed by the teddy bear. "Facha Bella or Fachy" Rachel says.
*AT THE BING HOUSE LATER THAT DAY*
"Mom my school day was great" Sophie said to her mom. "Good girl. Now do everything you need to do right now because we are having a big family dinner with your uncle, aunt, grandparents - all of them and your cousins since me and your father want to share some news with you all" Monica says. "Well when are dad and my brothers and sister coming home?" Sophie asks "It is 2:51 so about 3:15". "Oh geez, dad's dad is coming from Las Vegas today isn't he?" Sophie asks wanting to know all the details "Dad's mom is coming too right?" She adds "Oh yes your dad's strange parents" Monica answers "I mean well dad's dad is actually quite cool. Wait, did you guys name Charlie after him?" Sophie asks eager to know about her paternal grandparents. "Well that is hard to answer but yes we did name Charlie after him" Monica replies "Oh cool. I'm gonna do homework now" Sophie answers taking a sip of cherry soda and bringing a bag of chips to her room. Then the phone rings "Hello who is this?" Monica asks into the phone. "It's me and Rachel" Phoebe replies into the retriever. Then she hands the phone to Rachel. "Me and Pheebs thought that we can hang out - all 3 of us until everybody gets here" Rachel answers. "That sounds nice. Thanks, you guys can help me cook the food and set up the table" Monica says enthusiastically."
~RACHEL AND PHOEBE GET THERE~
"Rach, I am allowing you to make dessert again. But one warning, do NOT screw up the dessert again like you did last time. Understood?" "Yes well it is not my fault that the English trifle pages got stuck to the shepherds pie recipe" Rachel answers in defense. "Don't worry Rachel. I actually enjoyed it" Phoebe says trying to make her feel better. "You really ate the meat part?" Rachel asks in amazement "Well yes but I went to the bathroom a lot that night trying to get that outta my system" Phoebe answers with faint memories of the English Triffle/shepherds pie. Then Rachel's phone rings "Where are you? Me and Chandler are off work early" Ross asks "We are at Mondler's house helping with the dinner for later. Don't you remember stuff Ross?" Rachel asks. "Yes I remember now and I'm sorry Rach" Ross answers. Then adds "We are going shopping for a bit then coming back here". He hangs up after that. "Who was just calling you?" Monica asks "Your brother and my husband..." Rachel replies "I'm gonna set the table. Is that ok Mon?" Phoebe asks trying to help out as much as possible. "Oh yes that is fine"Monica answers happy that her sister in-law/BFF and her other BFF are helping.
