Hi! I would like to say thanks to 49scorpio on Twitter for reminding me to update this! Thank you all so much for the kind reviews :)

Monica wiped the tears that were rolling down her cheeks and bit her lip. Even if she didn't still love Richard, she didn't want to raise the baby without a father. And maybe... Maybe she could love Richard again. Maybe she'd even love him more because of the baby. Then she thought about Chandler, what would he think? She shook her head, Chandler would never think of her like that anyway. And if she got back together with Richard then maybe she could have the family she'd always dreamed of.
Yes, Richard was mature and sensible and grown up and Chandler... Well Chandler was immature. Chandler was funny and sensitive and kind... And everything she'd ever wanted in a man. She gulped back her tears and turned around to face everyone.
"Mon, are you okay?" Rachel asked giving her friend a quick hug.
"Yes. Yes, I think so. I think... I think I'm gonna try and give it a go with Richard," and with that Monica grabbed her coat and hurried out of the door to catch up with Richard. Everyone turned to look at Chandler who was trying to hold back screaming out 'No! Don't go. Take me! I'll love you! I'll take care of you!' Everyone knew that Chandler had feelings for Monica, even Ross!
"I'm just gonna... I'm gonna go back to my apartment. Don't come... I need to be alone right now..."
Chandler closed the door behind him, and allowed a trickle of a tear to escape. He really thought he'd have a chance with Monica... Until that big old tree came back.

"Richard!" Monica called out, rushing towards him. "Wait!"
Richard turned around, looking at Monica. "Oh but Mon-"he was cut off when she gave him a hug.
"Richard I'm sorry. Back there I was just so confused and I didn't know what was best for the baby but now I know. I need you back in my-"Richard kissed her gently on the lips, smiling. Monica kissed back but she knew this didn't feel right; it should be Chandler she was kissing...

Chandler slammed his apartment door behind him and sat down on the barcalounger. Of course Monica would choose Mr Moustache over him. He was better in every way possible. Richard was mature and responsible and he was the father of her baby. He sighed, Monica would never choose him.
He shifted in the chair and felt something brush against his leg. It was a scrunched up piece of paper with a number on it. But not just any number...
"Oh. My. GAWD! MY BING-A-LING!" sang a voice down the phone as he rang the number.
"Hey... Janice! So, do you wanna meet up for some coffee?"
"Do I ever?"
"Great, so see ya at Central Perk in a minute!" Chandler closed his eyes. What had he gotten himself into?

"Guys," Rachel looked around at everyone. "I think I have the perfect plan to get those two together."
"What?" Phoebe and Joey said excitedly.
"So, we say we're all going out for dinner, just the six of us! And then-"
"Great, what are we eating?" Joey rubbed his stomach," I'm starving."
"Joey," Ross cut in," We're not actually gonna go. We'll tell them that we're going but really it'll just be the two of them! So then-"
"No, no, no!" Joey said, slightly annoyed. "I'm terrible at keeping secrets!"
"We'll order you a Joey special if you don't tell them!"
"Fine! But only if it has extra jalapeños!"
"Deal!" Everyone shook on it, smiling. It was perfect.
I know it was short and I'm sorry. Just review! x
