Thanks to dizuz, dancer cherrybug, PrincessVoliet01 for taking the extra time to review!
The gang quietly set up the birthday breakfast while Patricia slept on the couch. It was early Saturday morning and the six friends had a small party planned for the now fifteen year old girl. The gang would have to console Monica every so often as she could not believe it had been fifteen years since she held her Goddaughter for the first time in her arms. Also Ross would stop for just a second and glanced over at the sleeping brunette in a sort of daze.
They all had made up after the Caleb thing and Patricia told the gang she broke up with him but there was one problem. It was a lie. She didn't have the heart to break up with him and she liked him a lot. It would just have to remain a secret for now, like Monica and Chandler. Yup, Patricia knew about them. She saw them on the balcony one night.
"Should we wake her up?" Joey asked, placing the chocolate syrup on the table.
"Ok." Monica replied nodding her head before grabbing her camera.
They all put party hats on and they had party poppers. They quietly approached the coach and yelled 'Happy Birthday' causing the sleeping girl to wake up.
Patricia blotted upright on the couch when she heard people shouting her. Her frightened look turned into a happy expression when she saw some of the most important people in her life. She smiled as she looked around.
There was a big happy birthday banner hanging up in the kitchen and there was a beautiful breakfast laid out on the kitchen table. Also there was bunch of presents.
"Happy birthday." They all said to her individually and she gave each of them a hug.
Patricia was now sitting at the table in the kitchen wearing: ( wwwDOTpolyvoreDOTcom/untitled_12/set?id=75690419#fans) The was giving her loads of lovely presents that she didn't think she deserved.
"Chandler!" Patricia exclaimed, looking at his present in awe. It was an 18k gold Heart-Tag charm bracelet from Tiffany & Co. It had a few charms on it already, referring to milestones and symbols in Patricia's life. "You shouldn't have."
"Happy birthday." Chandler replied giving her a tight hug, which she accepted.
"I love you guys." The birthday girl admitted with a big smile on her face. "Thank you so much!"
"I think that's enough presents for now." Monica admitted, kissing the top of her Goddaughter's head.
Patricia, who was admiring the picture of her and Monica when she was born, eyes widened and she looked up at the gang. "There's more?"
"Yeah, baby!" Joey said excidety.
A few hours later, Patricia was in the sitting room talking with Jackie, Damien and Jessica. They were waiting on Kendall and Derek. Patricia felt like the happiest person in the world. All the ones she loved were around her and it was like birds were singing happily in her head.
"Patricia, look who's here." Monica said softly as she closed the door.
Patricia turned her head to see Kendall and Derek standing in the kitchen with presents. Her eyes instantly studied Kendall. He looked different. His dirty blonde hair seemed lighter and was swooped across his forehead. His shoulders were broader and he looked so much stronger. His piercing green eyes studied her making her blush slightly.
Derek was still the same. Dark brown hair spiked up into peaks and chocolate brown eyes that gave a friendly vibe. He was still scrawny but he always looked cool even though he was a complete nerd.
"Wow, Patricia look at you all grown up." Kendall commented, giving the girl who he hadn't seen in a month or two her birthday present.
"I haven't changed." She admitted truthfully, standing up. "You on the other hand…puberty kicked in."
The sixteen year old nodded before pulling her into a tight hug. Patricia smiled and snuggled up into his chest letting his strong arms hold her. She had to admit she never wanted the hug to end.
"That's enough, Clark." Derek said pulling Kendall back from his sister. "Home is not the same without you, devil."
Patricia rolled her eyes at the old nickname but she was still smiling. She hugged her brother happily, letting him know how much she missed him.
Patricia really couldn't believe how well Jessica, Kendall and Derek got on so well with Jackie and Damien. She had to admit that she had her doubts and she that there would be a forced and awkward atmosphere to the day but no. The brunette needed air so she went out on the balcony to admire the view of Manhattan.
"Hey…" A male voice said softly causing Patricia to look at the speaker, who was Kendall.
"Yeah?" She asked turning fully to him. She knew there was something on his mind.
"I just wanted to say hey." The blonde told her, placing his hands on her curvy hips. "I missed you." Kendall admitted before pressing his lips against hers and parting her lips with his tongue. Their tongues twirled around together happily and Patricia brought her hands up to cup the boy's cheeks. She pressed her body against his when she realised what she was doing and she pulled away.
"W-what was that for?" Patricia asked raising an eyebrow and staring at the gorgeous boy.
"Can't a boyfriend kiss his girlfriend without a reason?" He replied, making her eyes widen.
"When did we go start going out?"
Kendall took hold of her two hands and looked straight into her eyes. "Look, I really like you a lot Patricia and there is something here. So the only question is will you Patricia Angie Taylor aka the most beautiful girl in the world go out with me?"
A wide smile crept onto Patricia's face and she was about to say yes but another person came onto the balcony. Someone she was not expecting. Someone she told not to come here.
"What the fuck?!" Caleb exclaimed at the scene of another boy holding his girlfriend's hands. "Who the fuck is he?"
"I was just going to ask the same question." Kendall admitted, looking at Patricia for an explanation.
"This is Caleb, my boyfriend." She said letting go of the disappointed blonde's hands and going over to give Caleb a hug.
"Your boyfriend?!" Kendall questioned in disbelief. His green eyes going wide and a fire blazing in them. He had worked up all his courage for nothing only to make a complete fool of himself. "Oh this is just great." He added before going into the living room followed by a protesting Patricia who was trying to explain. "Come on guys lets go."
"What?" Jessica and Derek asked, looking away from Jackie and Damien and over to Kendall, who looked pissed. They were going to protest but they saw the six adults with angry looks and they decided to leave. Jackie and Damien followed too.
"Happy birthday, babe." Caleb said, kissing Patricia's cheek. "I'll call you tonight."
He left leaving Patricia to defend herself.
Ross had his arms crossed as he spoke to Patricia and his brown eyes burned through her blue eyes. "And you're grounded for two months."
"Hell no! I did nothing wrong." The teen replied angrily.
Rachel shook her head in disagreement. "The fact that you would lie to us and behind our backs to date Caleb is wrong."
"Rachel's right." Monica admitted, nodding her head and looked at her Goddaughter ashamed.
Patricia's eyes widened and she just lost it. How dare Monica agree with Rachel when she's doing the exact same thing with Chandler? "Oh really Monica? You agree? So what you're doing with Chandler is wrong?"
Chandler and Monica gulped and felt like the weight of the world was on their shoulders. The four other adults looked confused and they turned to Monica and Chandler.
"What's she on about?"
"Oh you don't know?" Patricia asked bitterly raising an eyebrow. "Let me shed a light on the subject. Monica and Chandler are dating."
The others eyes widened and they turned to their friends asking for the truth.
"How could you?!" Monica yelled at Patricia. "We weren't ready to tell."
Patricia was close to tears from everything that had happened to day. She looked at Monica with watery eyes. "How could you not tell me Monica? You said you would tell me everything."
"Don't…" Phoebe warned the both of them. She had a strong feeling things would be said that the sisters didn't mean.
"Well you clearly don't tell me everything." Monica shot back, crossing her arms. "And what was that with Kendall? You're such a whore!"
"Says you!" The teen yelled loudly, throwing herself in a fit of anger. "You couldn't find a boyfriend so you just walked across the hall and threw yourself at the first person you saw."
"I HATE YOU!"
"RIGHT BACK AT YOU EXCEPT I HATE YOU MORE!"
"IMPOSSIBLE!"
"Stop it! Just stop it!" Phoebe yelled at the two sisters who were so close to pulling each other's hair. "You guys love each other and I'm not going to let you guys throw that away."
Both the girls blue eyes were blazing with an angry flame as they locked eyes in intensity. It made everyone else feel awkward and unsure of what to do. They wanted to stop even Patricia and Monica. They both said stuff they didn't mean but pride got in both girls' way.
"Let's take a break, ok?" Rachel suggested, handing everyone a bowl of ice cream.
Ross felt a strange feeling of déjà vu making him say, "Well Rachel will you remember we are on a break?"
Rachel sent him a glare, which made him feel like a thousand knives, went through him. "Now is not the time for that Ross! Let's talk about Monica and Chandler."
"There's nothing to tell." Monica admitted, looking at Chandler with soft eyes knowing that even though he was remaining calm, he was really freaking out inside. "Come on, Chandler." She took hold of his hand and they left the apartment.
Everyone else stood there in silence unsure of what to say or do next. They all exchanged glances wondering who knew the most information about Monica and Chandler. The glances got more and more intense causing a certain member to crack.
"There's a load to tell!" Joey admitted making everybody smile.
Once Monica and Chandler entered apartment 19, Chandler enveloped his girlfriend in a loving hug knowing that she was stressed. She hugged back like if she was hanging on for dear life. She took in a deep breath of his scent making her feel safe inside his arms.
Monica slowly tilted her head to stare into those blue eyes. She had no idea how Chandler felt about all this so she stared deeply into his eyes. She was ready to tell their friends all along but she didn't want to pressure Chandler.
"Look…" Chandler began, taking hold of his lover's hands as he looked into her eyes. "I know you weren't ready to tell our friends but I think we are." He took a deep breath before staring more meaningfully into her eyes. "But Monica Geller I love you and I want everyone to know that."
A few tears escaped Monica's eyes and a beautiful smile graced her lips. "I love you too, Chandler Bing."
The shared a passionate kiss before just going back to hugging.
Patricia grabbed her black leather coat and put it on before grabbing some money off the coffee table along with her mobile phone she got two years ago. Rachel was in her room, Phoebe and Joey were looking in the fridge, Ross was out to get more candy, and Monica and Chandler weren't here.
The brunette needed to get some air and her assumption about her being a burden on the gang was correct. Maybe she made the wrong choice coming back here, even though she loved it her and she loved her friends but it was hard on them.
Patricia sneaked past Phoebe and Joey and headed out into the night's air.
A/N: I know I say this like every chapter but there will be more Mondler, duh, cause the gang know about the now. Who do you ship Paleb (Patricia/Caleb) or Kentricia (Kendall/Patricia)? Also what do you think is going to happen next? Anyways I hope you enjoy and I think there are only five or four chapters left and I will be starting a new story.
