TOW the news

"You're what?!", Chandler asked in shock.

"I'm- I'm pregnant!", Phoebe said in tears.

"That's- Why are you crying?", he said he approached his friend and hold her.

"Happy tears, Chandler! Happy tears!", she smiled.

"Phew! Well that's great, Pheebs! I'm so happy for you!", Chandler smiled back.

They ate the pizza Chandler brought. They laughed and talked about how Phoebe is going to name and decorate future baby's room. It was starting to get late, Chandler checked his watch.

"Oh shoot! Monica is probably wondering where we are. We should get back down.", he proposed.

"Yeah. We probably should... Or Mon is going to kick our ass!", she said.

Phoebe couldn't help but laugh at Chandler's face when she said that his wife would kick his ass. She just loves how Chandler and Monica loves each other. They were friends before they got together.

"Maybe that's why...", she thought.

Phoebe wished that Mike could make her feel that way. Not that he doesn't make her happy or anything. Au contraire, she finally has a family. She would love to have something like Mondler.

"Hey Chandler? Can you do me a favour?", she asked, stopping at the door and facing her friend.

"Um... sure. Anything."

"Can you not tell anything to Mike or Monica? ... Or anyone really..."

"You still haven't told Mike?", he questioned.

"Well... I was going to tell him during dinner last night, but all the Joey and Ben thing came up..."

"OK. I understand. I won't tell anyone.", he promised.

"Thanks, Chandler.", she said before planting a kiss on his cheek.

They walked back down to the apartment.


Joey just got out of his room. Monica was making lunch. He looked around the room and on the porch but couldn't see his best friend or Phoebe.

"Hey Mon?", he called out.

"Yes Joey?, she answered, still concentrated on making lunch.

"Where's Chandler?", he asked, reaching out his arm to grab a sandwich.

"I think he went to look for Phoebe."

On that note, she slapped Joey's hand and offered him a pudding cup instead.

"Not lunch time yet."

He chuckled as he grabbed the pudding cup from her hand.

"Well you're in a good mood. Andrea accepted to marry you?"

"Yes... but not exactly... kinda...", he smiled, grabbing himself a spoon.

"What do you mean?", she said turning back to face Joey.

Monica leaned on the kitchen counter and crossed her arms, waiting for an answer. Joey swallowed a spoonful of chocolate pudding, still smiling.

"Come on tell me!", she said impatiently, taping her foot on the ground.

"I gotta go!", he said as he ran out of the apartment, leaving the cup and the spoon on the table.

"Dammit Joey!", she screamed.

Joey stumbled down the stairs and ran into Rachel, Ross, Ben and the kids.

"Hi Uncle Joey!", the kids said in harmony.

"Hey guys!", Joey smiled.

He looked up and his eyes locked with Rachel's. Rachel gave him a sad smile.

"Hi Rach. Mind going out on a walk with me?", he invited.

"Sure.", she said trying to avoid his stare.

They walked down the street. They stayed silent for a while.

"I'm sorry.", Rachel finally burst out.

"It's OK. You were right. I do run away from my problems."

"No. No. I'm sorry Joey. I didn't mean it, I- "

"I called Andrea!", he interrupted.

"What?! What did you say?", she said, looking at Joey, shocked.

"I told her that I love her and that I really want to marry her..."

"And...?", she asked impatiently.

"She said that she wanted to marry me but there is a slightly big problem...", he said slowly.

"Oh! Just tell me already!", she affirmed, shaking Joey by the shoulders.

"Her dad wants her to steal my money or else he's going to claim her back to Italy! She's a illegal immigrant!"

"Oh my God! You never told us that?! What are going to do?"

"I just found out now! We are are going to move back here, change our phone numbers, her name and-"

"Joey. You do realize that you're a movie star right? His dad is still going to find you somehow.", she interrupted.

Joey stopped walking. He totally forgot that he was famous now.

"Then how come nobody came up to me?", he asked his friend.

"Did you take a look at yourself in the mirror?"

He did look like crap. He had black circles under his eyes. Joey had a pale face. He didn't anything since last night... except for that pudding cup he ate earlier. He also didn't shave for 2 days and was only wearing a t-shirt and jeans. No wonder no one recognized him.

"Crap."


Mike drove back from Patrick's piano lesson. He was proud of his son. Patrick was smart, calm and quiet unlike his parents. Mike didn't want him to be a pianist like him thought. He wanted him to be a doctor... or a lawyer. Phoebe and Mike encourage him to talk to others kids, but he just stays in his corner all by himself. Mike thought that if he had a little sister or a brother, it would make him less shy. That's why he brought it up the other night while Phoebe was getting ready for bed. He sighed. Mike thought Phoebe didn't want another kid since she already had 4. She was keeping her distance lately. Mike finally got to Central Park parked his car near the gang's favourite coffee shop.

"Daddy? Can I have a muffin please?", Patrick asked politely, pulling on his dad's sleeve as they walked in front of Central Perk.

"Sure Patty."

They walked inside the coffee shop. The scent of coffee and pastries hits their faced. Mike really likes this place. He remembered the day when Joey came in looking for a guy named Mike. That thought made him smile. It was one of the most important day of his life. It was the day he met Phoebe for the first time.

"Hey Gunther!", he said as he walked towards the counter.

"Hi Mike! Can you hold on for a second?"

Gunther was explaining how the coffee machine works to one of his new employee. Even thought he owns the place, he keeps coming in early, hoping to see Rachel again.

"So... Mike! How are you?", Gunther asked, turning to face Mike.

"I'm doing great.", he answered with a fake smile.

"Want anything special?"

"Um... just a muffin and a coffee... Black please!", he ordered.

"Coming right up!"

"Hey... Um... Did Rachel went back home yet?", Gunther asked, turning back to the coffee machine.

"Not yet. We are all going back home tomorrow morning thought."

"Maybe I should go talk to her one last time.", he thought.

"Here's your coffee and muffin. On the house.", he said to Mike.

Mike thanked Gunther and left Central Perk. As he walked back to the apartment, he saw Joey and Rachel arguing about something. Mike ran towards them.

"What's going on?", he asked.

"No-nothing.", Joey said.

"It's not nothing Joey! You have to tell the rest of the gang about it!", Rachel affirmed.!

"Uh. Still waiting for an explanation here!", Mike said impatiently.

"Never mind! I'll bring Patrick upstairs!", he said before grabbing Patrick and ran back inside.

"Joey!", Rachel screamed.

Mike and Rachel ran after Joey.


Ben sat on a green plastic chair on the porch. He was thinking about calling Lucy. He didn't want to lose her. Lucy was his best friend, his first love, his first kiss, his life. They met each other when they were 5. They were inseparable. It was like they were always meant to be together. Ben finally decided to call her. He grabbed his cellphone from his coat. Ben dialled hesitantly her number which he knew it by heart.

"Hello?", the voice answered.

His heart dropped.

"God. I love her voice.", he thought.

"Hey Lucy. It's me... Ben."

"Oh. Hey.", she said coldly.

"Look Lucy. I'm sorry. I'm extremely sorry. I didn't know.", he repeated. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please-"

"Okay.", Lucy interrupted.

"What?", he said surprised by the change of tone.

"I take you back."

"Wha- what changed your mind? Not that I don't want to be together anymore!", he corrected himself. "You know what I mean right?"

"Yes, Ben. I got it.", she smiled, "Your dad called me earlier.",she explained.

At that moment, Ben looked inside the apartment. Ross was laughing with Monica. Ben smiled. He realized how lucky he was to have a dad like him. Sure, his dad could be geeky and can be a bit boring with his dinosaur stories, but he cares about his family.

"So we are back together?", he asked hopefully.

"Yeah. I love you Ben. Please don't do this to be ever again."

"I won't. I promised. I love you too."


"Seriously, Ross... It was really nice of you to call Lucy.", Monica said, whipping tears from her eyes and calming down from all the laughing.

"Yeah...", Ross said, looking at his son who was now smiling.

Joey, Mike, Rachel and the kids bursted into the apartment. Ross and Monica jumped and turns their heads towards the door.

"No! I'm not telling everyone!", Joey yelled.

"What's up?", Monica asked.

"Joey is planning on marrying a illegal immigrant!", Rachel said.

"WHAT?!", the others said in unison.

"Rachel!", Joey snapped.

"Oh. Come on! They will find out anyway!"

"Hold on! Andrea is a illegal immigrant?", Monica asked.

They all stare at Joey, still surprised by the news.

"FINE!", he sighed. "Sit down. I'll explain everything"

The gang sat around the table. Even Ben came back into the apartment when he saw all the adults around the table. Monica totally forgot about Chandler, same goes for Mike. He forgot about Phoebe. They ate the sandwiches Monica made as they payed attention to what Joey said.


"Hey guys!", Chandler said as he and Phoebe walked into the room.

The gang didn't answer him. They were still talking to Joey.

"Well thanks for ignoring us.", he added.

"What's going on?", Phoebe asked.

Again, no one answered. Phoebe looked at Chandler. He nodded. She knew that the only way to get their attention was to announce her pregnancy.

"I'M PREGNANT!", she yelled out.

Everyone stopped talking and turned their heads towards where Chandler and Phoebe was standing. Mike's jaw dropped.

"What?!", they said in unison.

"I'm pregnant.", she repeated.

"Really?", Mike asked with a smile on his face.

"YES! I'm pregnant!"

Phoebe started to tear up again. Mike pulled her into a hug. She couldn't stop smiling. Everyone else joined their hug. Except for Joey who was clearly still shock. He was happy for her thought. Chandler looked over at him. He invited him to join them. Joey sighed, got up and joined his friends.

"Can someone explain to us what you guys were talking about?", Chandler asked.

"Great way to ruin the moment Chandler.", Monica said.

They laughed, even Joey, and let go from each other.

"Come on the porch. I'll explain everything to you.", Joey invited.

Monica started to make dinner. Ross and Ben were talking in the hallway.

"Hey Rachel. I saw Gunther today. I think he wants to talk to you.", he said as holding Patrick on his lap.

Rachel's heart started to beat really fast. She totally forgot about him.

"Oh um... Do I need to meet him somewhere or...?", she asked.

"Please don't make him come to me.", she prayed in silence.

"I don't know. If he doesn't come by tonight, call him."


"Did you thought about changing your name and your look?", Chandler questioned.

"Maybe just my name...", he hesitated, "...I don't know really."

"Oh! Why don't you grow a bear?", Phoebe suggested.

Chandler let out a laugh.

"Oh shut up. Remember when you had a goatee?", Joey said.

"Oh yeah. I remember. You looked like Satan.", she laughed.

"Hey! It was 10 years ago. It was in style.", he defended.

"You copied Richard.", Joey reminded him.

That name made him shiver. He almost lost the love of his life to this man. The good-looking cigar-smoking man.


"Thanks dad."

"It was the least I could do. I know she means a lot to you and-", Ross started.

"I love you dad.", he interrupted as he gave his dad a big bear hug.

He always thought that hugging his dad was weird. You know... for a 17 year old boy.

"I love you too, son.", Ross smiled, returning his hug."


After a while, they all sat down around the table. Monica made Italian food. She thought it might cheer Joey up, but it reminded him of Andrea instead which made him sad. He thought about the wedding. What are they going to do? He had no idea.

"Hey Joey...", Monica started, noticing the sad expression on his face.

"Yeah?", he said, looking up from his plate.

He haven't touched his food yet. Joey wasn't hungry. That never happened before. The only thing that has ever stopped him from eating was when he's either sleeping or sees a "stop eating" hot girl.

"Are you okay, honey? You haven't touched your food yet.", she asked, concerned.

"I don't know... I'm really confused right now. I don't know what to do."

His eyes started to fill with tears. Everyone stopped eating and looked at their friend.

"C'mon Joe. Eat up. It'll work out, I promise.", Chandler said.

"Yeah buddy.", Ross patted his back, "Come back to New York. We'll help you."

"I'll call Andrea tonight.", he said to his friends.


Gunther just closed the coffee store. He zipped his leather jacket as he walked out. Gunther paced around Central Park for a while. He didn't want to go home yet. He didn't want to face Amy at the moment. She reminded him of Rachel. Gunther suddenly thought about the conversation he had with Mike earlier that day. He knew he shouldn't go talk to her, but his heart told him to. He had to let it all out once and for all. Gunther treadled to Gunford street.

Gunther hesitantly climbed up the stairs. He could feel his heart beating so fast like it's going to jump out of his chest any second. Gunther took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
