Chapter 8

The next day was Saturday, exactly three weeks since she had returned home. Chandler had obeyed her order and had not called her again, she hadn't listened to him for two weeks, and now she had a problem that she didn't know whether to tell him or not.

The drops had improved her nausea, and she prepared to eat as ordered by the doctor.

Everyone was sitting at the table having breakfast, the girls looked at Monica waiting for her to speak.

Ross asked Monica if she had the night shift.

"No, the doctor wants me to rest so I called the restaurant and on Monday Rachel leaves the certificate when she comes by," said Monica.

"Due to a stomach problem, the doctor am sending you rest, and for how long?" Ross asked.

"She also found me to have anemia, so I have to rest until my anemia disappears," Monica replied indifferently.

"I always believed that people with anemia could work, they just need the right diet and

medication," Ross said in a superior tone.

"Yes, it's true, but in my condition, anemia can put pregnancy at risk," Monica responded casually, with total naturalness.

Ross was speechless, the cutlery slipped from his hands, first his face turned white and then red as a tomato and he jumped out of the chair.

"You are pregnant??? He asked shouting.

At that moment Joey realized what Monica had said and stood up from her with a huge smile and hugged her, congratulating her.

"Joey, there is nothing to congratulate here or anything to celebrate, my stupid sister let herself get pregnant by a bastard who didn't even take care of her. I guess you're not going to continue with that pregnancy… You have to get rid of that bastard's son right now!!!"

Monica was paralyzed by her brother's words, and her eyes filled with tears.

Phoebe stood furiously in front of Ross and gave him a very hard slap and shouted at him, "Shut your mouth, the only bastard here is you, stop screwing up your sister's life.

Everyone was speechless, Monica covered her mouth at her exclamation of surprise, Joey had his eyes wide open, he would never have imagined such a reaction from Phoebe who was all love and peace, and Rachel had a smile of approval coming from her heart.

Ross also froze, Phoebe had hit him!!! And no one reproached her for what she had just done, on the contrary, everyone looked at him in disapproval. -

He was furious. Turning to Monica screaming, he said, "Don't think that I'm going to help you raise that bastard, don't count on me, if you want to ruin your life, you're there, but don't involve me ever again."

Ross left, slamming the door.

Everyone was surprised and upset by Ross's reaction, none of them understood why from the beginning he had refused Monica's trip, then her romance, and now her pregnancy, something was happening to him, he was going to need medical help.

Joey approached Monica, bent down and hugged her, "Mon, don't worry, we're all going to help you with your baby," he told her tenderly.

Monica looked at him with tears rolling down her cheek and said, "Joey, there are two babies…"

Joey opened his eyes, "Two babies… Wow… well it doesn't matter, we are four… don't worry."

"Girls, I have to go, I have an audition, but when I get back we'll talk calmly."

When Joey left Monica got up and went to sit on the couch, her legs were still shaking from Ross's reaction.

Phoebe told her "you're not going to finish breakfast, at least the milk and cereal…"

"Phoebe I can't eat anything right now, what's wrong with Ross?"

"Look, what happens to him doesn't have to interest us now, the only thing that matters are you,"

Rachel said and continued.

"Mon, Phoebe told me that you don't want to tell Chandler that you're pregnant? "He has the right to know that he is going to be a father, and then what he decides will be his problem."

"Rachel, I love him, and I would like him to be with me out of love, but if I tell him I will never

know if he came for me for his children."

"I believe that if you tell him, he will come for everyone."

"I don't know, every moment I'm more sure not to say anything"

"But Monica is going to end up finding out through David, at work he is going to see you pregnant, what are you going to tell him" Rachel told her.

"That they belong to another boyfriend, it's that easy"

"That is to say that you are willing to lose him forever? deceiving him in the worst way, making him believe that it was just an adventure for you, that you never cared about him, that you came back and got involved with another guy who made you pregnant, selfishly hiding that they are his children ….? "It seems to me, Mon, that you don't love him as much as you say." Phoebe told her….

Monica started crying, Phoebe was right, she couldn't fool him like that.

At that moment someone knocked on the door, Rachel got up to open it saying "I'm sure it's Ross who knocks first because he's afraid to come in and we'll throw the dishes at him."

She opened the door and was met by a tall man, with determined brown hair, blue eyes

transparent as water, who gave her a beautiful smile and asked

"Monica Geller lives here???"

Monica, who was sitting on the couch with her back to the door, jumped when she heard him, she turned around and there was Chandler, her beloved Chandler who had come to the City for her!!!

Chandler immediately saw her and entered, Monica with her face wet with tears, but with a huge smile she ran to meet him and they hugged and kissed again and again, until in a moment Chandler moved away from her and he look serious,

"Mon, why you are crying, your eyes are red from crying, I am here, I am here forever" he told her with a huge smile.

"I know, because I'm never going to let you go anyway," Monica told him excitedly.

Rachel and Phoebe were crying with happiness for her friend.

Chandler looked at them…. "Mon, those girls why do they cry…, this movie has a happy ending!!!

"Because they love me and are happy for me, and surely for you too, come let me introduce them to you" she take him by the hand and bring him closer to the sofa behind which the girls were standing.

"No, don't tell me" Chandler looked at them with his mischievous smile and said "it's clear, tall, blonde, thin, with colorful clothes is Phoebe, and smaller, like you, blonde, thin and with designer clothes is Rachel."

"Hi Phoebe, Hi Rachel, I'm Chandler, the Englishman, well almost English, who is crazy in love with your friend and makes her cry because he is stubborn and very stupid" …

The girls smiled at him and came up to greet him with a kiss on the cheek, for them he was already a friend.

"We'll leave them, Chandler, did you have breakfast?" Rachel asked.

"No, I ate on the plane, I will only drink tea if there is any"

Monica immediately said, "yes, I'll prepare it for you."

"Okay, but Monica, you can finish breakfast now," Phoebe told her, winking.

The girls left.

Chandler hugged her, they kissed again, and then Chandler pushed her away asking, "well now tell me why you were crying, because from what I see your eyes are red, you've been crying for a while, I guess it's my fault, I hate making you cry, but something else is happening?

"First tell me how you are here… what made you come to the City" Monica told him as she took him to the living room and made sat in the couch, while she sat in front of him on the low table. -

"Obviously, I came for you"…"The day you told me not to call you anymore, that it was goodbye, I was devastated, I went to see Marion, and she told me that in this city I suffered pain and loneliness by decision of others, but now I was suffering pain and loneliness by my own decision, then I realized that I was making my life hell and I had no real reason, so I returned home and started organizing the move, on Monday I submitted my resignation at university and at the BBC, I

called mom and dad to tell them my decision and they both supported me completely." And

continued

"As I wanted to surprise you, I asked Mom not to say anything to Aunt Olivia, so that David dewouldn't find out and tell you." "The move, checking what I wanted to bring or would need, took me several days. I put my whole life in many boxes, including the cloth dolls" and smiled sweetly, "and I sent them to the apartment on Park Av. except for some of my clothes, which I packed in two suitcases and two suit holders, I took the plane, landed ago four hours, I stayed in a hotel near this house, and after a shower I came to look for you."

"I already answered your questions, now tell me what's happening, because I found you crying surrounded by your friends…. "There's something else going on besides falling in love with a stubborn fool," Chandler told her with a smile.

Monica didn't know how to start; she was very afraid of Chandler's reaction to the news.

"Well, I'll start at the beginning... when I got home I was broken, I felt like I had found my life partner and I had lost him. I was depressed, I cried all the time, I slept little, I hardly ate…" Monica began

Chandler interrupted her "God, because of my stupidity I hurt you so much…"

Monica answered, "I also hurt you by leaving and then telling you not to call me again…"

And she continued, "After I told you not to call me, I felt worse, I started vomiting, I couldn't keep down the little I ate... and yesterday morning I fainted when I was leaving my room..."

"Oh god, you hurt yourself!!" Chandler asked worriedly.

"No, I didn't hurt myself, Rachel and Joey called the paramedics and when they arrived I was already regaining consciousness. Maybe they decided to take me to the hospital to do tests…"

"Something went wrong. …that's why you're crying…" Chandler said scared.

"Not bad, well a little, I have anemia and they prescribed me a diet and medication to recover."

"So, if you're okay, why were you crying…? Chandler asked again.

"They did a blood test, and in addition to finding anemia…. "

Chandler squeezed her hands fearing something bad.

"…they informed me that…. I am 6 weeks pregnant……"

Chandler's eyes widened... "Are … pregnant ……are you sure…"

"Yes, the doctors saw it in my blood and then they did an ultrasound to make sure everything was fine."

Chandler was silent for a few seconds, he lowered his head while he squeezed Monica's hands, when he raised his head he looked her in the eyes.

"Wow… I came to give you a big surprise but yours is much bigger…. Are you going… no, rather… we're going to have a baby…" Chandler said with a trembling voice without letting go of her hands.

"Well, not a baby, there are two babies here," Monica answered, putting her hand on her belly…"

"And you cried because you don't want to have them? Chandler asked even with your trembling and distressed.

"No Chandler, of course I want to have them, being a mother was the dream of my life!!!

"Then I don't understand why you were crying instead of being happy…" Chandler asked.

"Chandler, I was crying because I didn't know whether to tell you or not, actually at first I thought I wasn't going to tell you…"

Chandler sat up straight, "why wouldn't you tell me …. I don't understand …. I am the father of those babies, why I shouldn't have known…"

"Love, I was scared by your reaction, and besides, I wanted, if you ever came, you to do it for me, not out of obligation to your children." ….. "Anyway, before you arrived, the girls made me realize that I thought I was stupid, and I was going to call you…"

"Well, it's obvious that I came for you…. and it is also logical that I am surprised, a little stunned…"

"Chandler, I know this news is very overwhelming, and if you need to get away, the time you need to think. You are not obligated to anything…" Monica told him softly.

"What are you talking about …? Mon I love you…. I don't want to walk away... Just because my brain is amazed by what I just found out 2 minutes ago doesn't mean that my heart isn't jumping with excitement, I guess you hadn't imagined being a mother now either, surely we would do it after we got married... But life determines the moments... And if it was put it in our way now we have to be happy"

Monica had tears flowing…. He was thinking of marrying her!!! Chandler hugged her and pushed her towards him to sit on her lap, they hugged and kissed again and again.

"Mon, the only thing that scares me is not being a good father, in reality I would like to be a father like Henry, I hope to achieve it, if you see I do something wrong please tell me…"

"Chandler, I'm scared too…. they are two babies at the same time…"

Chandler gave her a mischievous smile…" wow! we are good at this…. very good …. We are going to fill the house with childrens!!!"

"Are you really well, …. Does the news make you happy…?" Monica asked him.

"Mon, I came imagining and wanting a whole life with you, there was only a change in the order of appearance of the events that we would carry out, but I always knew that the children would be along the way… the meeting with them was brought forward…. and knowing that my children are the children of the woman I love, that we made them together makes me very happy…" Chandler

told her as he kissed her again and again. -

Suddenly Chandler pulled her away from her with a mischievous smile. "I don't know if you

noticed that the guy is waking up."

Monica laughed "it's impossible not to notice, he's a great guy!"

"In your state we can do something for him, he misses you a lot" Chandler said with puppy eyes.

"Of course, I missed him too, I missed the owner's kisses and hugs, and the guy too…" Monica said, dying of laughter, at that moment she got up and told him, wait a minute.

Monica went to the door and put on the chain… "You will learn that everyone comes in this house whenever they want, the only way to have privacy is with the chain… Come with me" and taking him by the hand she take him to her bedroom."

After three rounds of lovemaking, satisfied and relaxed, Chandler was staring at the ceiling thoughtfully.

"Where are you…" Monica asked him with a smile.

"Here, with you thinking that we will be together, living together, as I had imagined when I came, but now more…. I want to be present during pregnancy, I want to take care of you when you feel bad…. Help you in everything... accompany you to medical visits…. In a word, be there all the time, and I thought we could rent an apartment with at least two rooms, we will need one for the

nursery…" Chandler said and looked at her with a smile and gave her a kiss on the nose… "Unless you don't want to live with me…" he said with his tender smile.

"Don't be stupid, of course I want to, I just… I like this apartment…. and I can't ask Rachel to leave, I love her very much, she is one of my two best friends…. Besides, there is still a long way to go to think about the nursery…" Monica answered.

Chandler turned around on his shoulder looking at Monica, his expression was somewhat serious and showed bewilderment.

"But then we won't be able to live together like in London again…? Are we going to live apart? And with two babies on the way... until when?

Monica looked at him not knowing what to answer. "Chandler, I don't know, for a while, I guess until I can talk to Rachel…

You're telling me that I'll have to rent something and live alone..., without you," Chandler said, now clearly serious.

"Could you rent something nearby…maybe in this building…?" Monica answered…. "Or you could live here, this would be our room and we would share the house with Rachel, I don't think she would have a problem with that"

"Monica, I came thinking about having our place, the two of us together…. And now, when I found out that we were going to have our children, I was imagining being in our home, being a family, the four of us together, being with you, living with you, that's what made me run to you" … "And are you proposing that I live alone?" Or that we share the apartment with Rachel, as if we were

going back to university?

"Love, understand, I had not thought about any future with you, I never imagined it…. not because I didn't love you, but because I thought that ours would not go beyond London, that you didn't want to come and that was it, and now it's all so surprising, the pregnancy, you want us to live together, change my life, and I really didn't have time to think about the future."

"I understand, I better go back to the hotel" Chandler said seriously and now without the sparkle in his eyes, while he got up to start dressing.

"Don't you want to stay? Monica asked him with a surprised face.

"No …. It's been almost 40 hours. without sleeping, on the plane I was too excited to relax, to which was added the jet lag and the recent activity, I better go back to the hotel, I need to sleep and think if I was right to come, maybe I was wrong, I thought that for you "What we had was more than just London," Chandler said.

"Chandler, please don't leave, try to understand me, I love you very much, a separation has never hurt me so much…. It's just that everything came to me suddenly, finding out about the pregnancy, your surprise arrival, I haven't even stopped to imagine how to organize our life together," Monica told him with tears in her eyes.

"Monica, you have all the time in the world to think about it, my love for you is real, it did not end in London, that is clear to me, just as I am clear that I want to spend the rest of my life with you…" and he took a long pause, …. "but I can understand that you don't feel the same way about me, that you don't love me enough to plan a future together…. and I will accept it and I will not bother you anymore in that aspect of the relationship" and he continued.

"But what I am not going to give up is being present in the children's lives, I told you, I will never allow my children not to have a dad to protect them or leave them alone" … "we may not be together, but I will not give up fatherhood, I will always be present for my children."

Chandler approached Monica, who remained frozen sitting on the back of the bed, gave her a kiss on the hair and said, "When you are clear about what you want your future to be like, call me, I will be waiting, but yes, I want to participate in the next medical check-up, in all medical checkups, please let me know, if you don't want me to come pick you up, if you don't want us to go together, I will wait for you at the Hospital.

Chandler left the bedroom, gently closing the door and then left the apartment.
