Haha wow, I'm updating super fast now! I guess I can't wait either what's gonna happen next.. I should slow down so the quality won't suffer.

Thank you for the reviews again! I can't believe I'm writing the fifth chapter already and you're liking this story so much. I'm always a little nervous after posting a new chapter.. So I'm more than relieved you've liked this! :)

Right to the point.. and I don't own Friends, if you still doubt it.

And this also begins where the previous was left off :) AND RICHARD MAKES HIS FIRST APPEARANCE, partyyy!


Chapter Five

Chandler ran out of the building. He felt awful. He felt like crying, but tears didn't come. He felt anger, anger with Monica.. and the mustache clown. He felt pain in his chest. He felt like an idiot, scared, betrayed, lonely, frustrated, humiliated.. but somehow, somehow a little happy. He didn't know why that was.. It felt like there were no reasons to be happy anymore. Everything had changed upside down in just few minutes. He didn't know who he should be blaming, Richard, Monica, himself or Phoebe.. He wanted to leave, he couldn't deny it. He didn't want to see Monica.. Monica who had cheated on him and then claiming she loved him. Getting engaged in the same goddamn day.. He couldn't believe it. Chandler was sure he would never, ever to do something like that to Monica. He loved her, and even that sounded now ridiculous to him. But he decided to stay. He didn't know why.. maybe he needed Monica. Maybe he thought she could comfort him somehow. Maybe he needed the only person he loved so much. Maybe he wanted to give her another chance. Maybe he was there only because of the slight chance the baby might be his. Maybe he was there to revenge.. He didn't know. He was scared.

Chandler was standing on the sidewalk, shivering. Not because it was cold, because of all the huge, different emotions he felt. He was staring into space. People were looking at him but he didn't notice it. And he didn't care. Suddenly he felt a warm hand on his shoulder.

"Dude, why are you standing here? Are you OK?" Ross frowned.

Chandler looked at him for a second. "No. No I am not OK", he said and shook his head.

"What's wrong? Let's go inside, it's cold out here", Ross said, about to open the door.

"No. I-I have to go", Chandler said and walked away from him.

Ross left behind, looking at him walk away. He shook his head. "That's weird", he muttered to himself and went inside to the building and climbed the stairs up, going to Monica and Chandler's apartment.

Chandler headed to the Central Park. He just wanted to disappear forever. He had no clue what to do. He was mad at himself for wanting to leave, but on the other side he didn't know why to stay and make it all more difficult, hurt himself more. But he stayed in his promise, in his decision. He really did want to know if he had a child or not, and of course, he loved Monica. He just didn't know if she was the same woman he thought she'd be.

He ran his fingers through his hair. He decided to meet Richard, the man with a moustache.


Monica just cried on the couch. She sat and cried.. She didn't know what to do or what to think. She, herself has caused this all and she knew it. She may have lost her friend and love of her life, and she didn't know what was going to happen, how did he really feel. Why had he stayed? Was he giving her another chance? She felt such a mess, she didn't know anything. She hated being unaware.

She heard the door open and she got up immediately.

"Chandler I -" she started, but soon realized it was Ross.

He had a worried look on his face. "What's going on here?" He asked and closed the door slowly.

Monica didn't say anything, she walked up to him and just hugged him.

Ross seemed surprised. "Mon.. What's going on? Why are you crying? And what's up with Chandler? I saw him in front of the building, he seemed kind of upset.."

Monica sobbed. "I.. I just told him that I'm pregnant and I'm not sure if the baby's his or Richard's because I.. I slept with Richard on our engagement day", she explained quietly in Ross' ear, still hugging him. It was so easy now to tell him about this.. It felt so easy, nothing compared on telling Chandler.

Ross broke the hug. "What?" He frowned. "Why? No wonder he was upset! Why did you tell him that?"

"Because that's the truth", Monica said, looking down.

Ross gave a small laugh. "What?" He asked in disbelief.

Monica sighed. She turned around and walked slowly on the couch, ready to hear her brother judging and blaming her. But it didn't matter to her, she didn't listen to him. All she wanted to listen was Chandler.


The doorbell rang. Richard heard it from the kitchen, where he had just finished his meal. He got up and heard the doorbell ringing again. He headed to the door and opened it. He opened his mouth to greet the person behind it but after seeing who it was, he just stood there, stunned.

What the hell?

"That's what I thought", Chandler muttered as reading Richard's thoughts.

Richard stayed quiet for a moment. "Well hello Chandler!" He said then with a smile.

"Well hello Richard! Aren't you the one who had sex with my girlfriend recently!" Chandler said with a fake smile and shook Richard's hand almost violently.

Richard sighed, starting to realise what this was about. Or he thought so.. "I'm sorry to say but I think I am", he said.

Chandler nodded and pushed into Richard's apartment. He glanced around, trying to be casual. He noticed there were some pictures in the shelves. And he wasn't surprised to see Monica in one of them. She had shorter hair so it had been taken before, which Chandler somehow appreciated.

"So.. she told you then?" Richard asked after closing the door.

"What, do I look too stupid to notice it myself?" Chandler asked, annoyed. Richard shrugged. "She told me something else too. I assume she hasn't told you about it", Chandler added with a calmer tone.

Richard frowned, looking at Chandler in the other side of the living room. "She's pregnant", Chandler said. He waited for Richard's reaction.

Richard raised his eyebrows in surprise and shock. It immediately came to his mind that the child could be his, but he pushed the thought away. They had used a condom, anyway. "Wow.. Well.. that's not what I expected", he said then and sat on the couch in the middle of the room.

Chandler smirked sadly. "People shouldn't have expectations", he said quietly.

Richard looked up to Chandler again, smiling slightly. Chandler had gave Monica something that he hadn't and he decided to try to be happy for them. "Congratulations", he said.

Chandler sighed. "And it turned out she doesn't know whose the baby is."

Richard frowned again. His jaw flew open.. it was true? He opened and closed his mouth few times, but didn't know what to say.

"Let's keep in touch, or not", Chandler said after watching Richard's reaction for a minute. He walked to the door, opened it and was just about to slam it shut behind him but stopped and turned to look at Richard again. "Now you don't have to hate being a good guy. 'Cause I'm not so sure you are", he shook his head and left the apartment.


Monica had made dinner to keep her thoughts away, but had failed. The food was probably too salty because of her tears. But it didn't matter anymore, it was cold already, no one had eaten. Monica didn't even wonder where the others were, where was Joey when there's food in the table, where was Ross who had left after blaming her for 30 minutes. She thought friends should be supportive, but she didn't care right now. She was worried about Chandler.

She sat on the couch, where she had been waiting for hours. She was tired but she needed to see Chandler and talk to him. But she couldn't stay awake, her eyelids began to weight more and more until she couldn't keep them open..


Monica woke up the next morning. First thing she noticed was that she was wearing the clothes from yesterday. She was in their bed.. alone. She thought she had probably gone there after almost falling asleep on the couch last night. She glanced at the watch, 8:22. She got up from the bed wondering where Chandler was. She didn't bother to change so she walked out of the bedroom, surprised she didn't feel nauseous.

She noticed the lights were on in the living room.. and Chandler was sleeping on the couch. She felt relieved he had came back, but felt sad he slept on the couch though she knew it was understandable.

Chandler was in his yesterday's clothes too. She smiled as she heard his familiar, low snuffling. He always did that when he was sleeping. She walked quietly to the couch and sat on the floor, in front of Chandler. She was still smiling. She knew that he had carried her to their bed. She gently put the blanket over him.

Chandler woke up, but didn't open his eyes. He didn't know why.. Monica thought he was still asleep. She watched him for a minute and then couldn't resist. She leaned in and was about to kiss him, but as soon Chandler felt her breath on his lips he opened his eyes and jumped.

Monica jumped too. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I should've not -"

"Slept with Richard!" Chandler cut her off angrily.

They stood there awkwardly for a minute.

"I'm sorry, I just watched you sleep and I-I was caught up in the moment.." Monica muttered then and started walking away to the bathroom.

"That seems to happen a lot to you", Chandler said and sat down on the couch, burying his face in his hands. Monica closed the bathroom door behind her without saying a word.

Reality had hit them again.
