Wow! So many reviews that make me smile :) I would really like to thank 'Friends Fan' for all of those ideas. I will definitely use some of them. Thanks for all of the support guys, without you I can assure you that I wouldn't be writing this...

Disclaimer: Sadly, the offer I put in for Friends was too little. Shame I can afford it but I'm a broke uni student, what do they expect? No? Okay, sorry... My attempt at a little bit of humour... Shameful I know.

"WHAT?" Joey, Phoebe and Rachel exclaimed loudly as they heard what had happened.

"Oh my God Mon you HAVE to tell Richard. Even after what happened, he needs to know. He is the baby's dad after all. And hey, what if he wants the kid after all. What if maybe he'll want to get back together with you? This could be the happy family you've always dreamed-"

Chandler cut Rachel off," –But maybe he won't want the baby. That's why you split up, isn't it? What makes you think he'll wanna be part of this? I mean clearly he's already moved on!" Chandler looked over to see Monica on the verge of tears and added, in a much softer voice," But even if he doesn't want to be part of the baby's life you should probably tell him. And hey, you won't be alone, you'll have me-"

Joey coughed," Us," and Phoebe and Rachel nodded.

Chandler smiled at them and continued," You'll have us to help you. You should tell him, I suppose."

Monica nodded slowly, taking in all of this," Okay," she said quietly. "I'll go tell him now, then we can deal with Ross."

The other's exchanged a look at Ross's name, he was clearly going to overreact, it'd be foolish to think he'd be okay with this.

"Monica," Richard barely whispered as he opened his apartment door to see his ex-girlfriend.

"H-h-hi, Richard," Monica attempted a smile.

Richard opened the door to let her in and kissed her on the cheek. "So, what's wrong? I mean why are you here? I thought... I thought we were over... Did you give me another chance?"

"No..."

"Scotch on the rocks with a twist?" Richard offered her a glass before asking," Then, why?"

"Richard, I know this is hard to take in and I'll understand if you just want me to go after I tell you but... but I'm.. I'm pregnant. With your child.."

"Oh... But... How is that possible? We always used protection. Are you sure...?"

Monica nearly burst into tears at that. "Of course I'm sure Richard! And sometimes condoms aren't all that effective!"

"Yes, I know, I'm sorry Monica," Richard patted her arm gently. "But what does this mean? Should we get back together and raise the kid? It'll need a dad..."

"Richard, I'm so grateful to you but I just... I just can't let you do that. I know you don't love me anymore, I've seen you and that blonde woman together. I just don't want us to get back together if we're not in love. And yes, this kid needs a dad and maybe you're the biological father but..."

"Oh Monica, the blonde woman was just a one night stand, an attempt to get over you..."

"And it worked. Richard I'm sorry, I just can't, it's not right. I can't be with you. I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry," Monica felt tears rolling down her cheeks and she stood up to leave.

"But Mon, I want to be there with you. I want to be there at the birth, I want to spend my life with you. I want to grow old with you."

Monica shook her head," Richard, I'm sorry but I can't do this. It's not working, we're not working. I wish it could be so simple but it's not. It's just not. I'm sorry."

"Mon, just please let me know. Let me know if you need anything. I'm here for you. Good luck Monica Geller."

Monica nodded her thanks and kissed him on the cheek shaking her head," I'm sorry Richard. Goodbye..."

Okay, I really hated that chapter, I'm sorry it's short but surely my frequent updates are enough? No? Okay then, I'll try to make the next one longer! Please review x
