How do we get rid of the annoying neighbor lady?
I hope you like the story and that you tell me his opinions, through them I know if I'm on the right path.
Remember English is not my native language, I hope the translation is correct, check it, but sometimes I miss some incorrect personal pronouns for the phrase, sorry.
I reiterate, I do not own the characters of Friends I only rely on them for the pure pleasure of writing stories without any economic interest, and Monica and Chandler inspire me
CHAPTER 2
A couple of hours later the twins started crying. Monica and Chandler took them down and gave them their bottles, while they drank coffee. Chandler was silent, indicating that he was very worried.
When the babies finished their bottles they took them up to change them, they cuddled them for a few minutes until they went back to sleep, just at that moment they heard a knock on the front door.
Chandler looked at Monica with wide eyes, "That's Janice!"
"Ok, calm down, I'll go down, take care of them for a moment and tell her that I have to take care of the twins, you stay here with them"
Monica came down, prepared to ensure that the greeting did not go beyond the door, but as soon as she opened it she found a smiling Janice, two children who entered without further ado, and a plate of chocolate cake.
"¡OH ... MY ... GOD! Monica!" And she came in without stopping talking...
"¡Isn't it incredible that we are neighbors! Doesn't it look like you were pregnant with twins? "You look perfect!" And where are those beauties, do I want to meet them? Are they two boys or two girls? "Because if one of they are girl we will be in-laws"!
All the determination with which Monica had gone to open the door had been buried by the avalanche that fell on top of her, and she tried to answer the accumulation of questions that had suffocated her.
"Yes, it's incredible that we are neighbors, the twins are a girl and a boy, now they have just fallen asleep and we don't want to interrupt their sleep," said Monica, without specifying that they would never be in-laws, nor explaining the birth of the twins for now.
"I brought you a chocolate cake, I came with the children to have a snack with you. Where is the kitchen?
Monica wordlessly let Janice in and guided her to the kitchen, the girl, about 7 years old, seemed calmer, but the boy was only three, he came jumping and touching everything in his path.
"Aaron, come and I'll sit you here so you can have your snack," said Janice, picking up the boy and told the girl, "Ruth, sit next to me" and now turning to Monica, she asked her, ¿do you have chocolate milk?
"Not just milk, the twins drink only milk" Monica said trying to regain her spirits.
"Monica, you look perfect! How was the birth? Janice asked.
"My children are adopted," Monica said firmly.
"OH ... MY ... GOD! Chandler is sterile! Janice shouted, "it's lucky I didn't marry him," she finished her sentence while she fanned her face.
Monica, whose discomfort was turning into anger, replied, "NO, Chandler is not sterile, I'm the one who has problems."
There was no way she was going to allow Janice to belittle her husband, who on the other hand was not sterile either, just his little fish were lazy, but Janice would never know that.
"Oh! Are you the sterile one?! Because I could have given Chandler beautiful children," Janice said with a proud face.
"Look Janice, I'm not sterile, I have a problem in the uterus, they told us that we have the possibility of having children of our own, but Chandler and I love each other, we wanted to have babies, but we didn't want to wait for nature, so we decided to start the family adopting, Erika and Jack are our children born from the heart, and when their own arrive they will all be loved equally"
"Sure, I understand," Janice said more calmly.
"And where is Chandler? Janice asked, looking from side to side anxiously.
"Upstairs with the babies, he was making them sleep."
"How often do they wake up?" Janice asked.
"Every three hours? Because?
"I came to meet them, so we'll have snack and wait until they wake up," Janice said with a big smile.
Monica heated milk for the children and served coffee to Janice, who began handing out a slice of the chocolate cake to each child.
Ruth was a calm and delicate girl when eating, but Aaron was a real disaster, his hands were full of chocolate with which he touched everything, the chairs, the table, his face was completely covered in chocolate.
Monica brought a cloth for Janice to clean the child's hands, but Janice told her "No thanks Monica, now he is going to eat another portion and get dirty again, when he finishes I will wash his hands."
After Aaron took a third helping, Janice quickly and curiously proposed, "Shall we go into the living room so I can get to know something about the house?" and without waiting for a response, she got up, took the child down from the chair, all covered in chocolate and with the new portion in his hands.
The children ran into the living room and Aaron climbed onto Chandler's couch, dirtying the upholstery with chocolate.
"Excuse me Janice, but that's Chandler's couch, Aaron is making it dirty," Monica said with a serious face.
Janice laughed out loud and with a smug face, she answered, "Look, I advise you, if you have two children, to cover all the chairs with transparent plastic, or you will spend a lot of time cleaning them, that's what I did at home and it works."
Monica's stomach was in knots; the situation was overwhelming her.
Suddenly Aaron stood up on the couch and jumped up. Monica was panicking. "Aaron, please don't jump on the couch."
"Don't worry, Monica, he never falls, he has good balance," said Janice with her deep laugh. "You see how well he does it."
Chandler, who had stayed at the top of the stairs to hear what they were talking about, decided to go down to help Monica.
"Hello," Chandler said.
"Hello Chandibiling! How nice to see you again," Janice said, standing up and giving Chandler a hug and a kiss on his cheek.
"Thank you," Chandler said, and without returning her hug or kiss, he pushed her away from him and immediately said firmly, "What's that kid doing jumping and dirtying my couch?"
"This is Aaron, he is very funny, he has a lot of energy," Janice answered, laughing.
"I think it's good that he has energy and is fun, but not on my couch, come on, I'm going to take you to wash your hands," Chandler said, picking up the boy without waiting for Janice's response.
"I want another slice of cake," said Aaron.
"How many slices of cake did you eat? Chandler asked him.
"Three," the boy answered.
"And how old are you?" Chandler asked now.
"Three," Aaron said.
"Perfect, you already ate all the portions that correspond to your age, three years, three portions" Chandler turned around looking at Ruth, "you want another one, because you are older and can eat more."
"No thanks, Uncle Chan, I ate two and that's enough for me," Ruth replied with a smile.
Chandler looked at Monica, that "Uncle Chan" did not go unnoticed by either of them, and in fact it terrified Chandler, but turning to Ruth he said,
"Correct, you were obviously a very intelligent girl, you will go far in your life." Chandler concluded and left with the child in one arm and the plate of chocolate cake in his other hand, staying as far away from Aaron as possible.
When he returned Aaron was completely clean.
"Now Aaron, you will sit next to your mom, without jumping," Chandler told him.
Aaron replied "it's okay Uncle Chan."
"Wow, you're an energetic father, I wouldn't have guessed it," Janice said, laughing, and continued, "now that I remember, Rachel's little girl is the same age as Aaron, what's her name?"
"Her name is Emma, she is beautiful and she acts like a princess" Monica said with a smile, she loved Emma.
"Rachel is raising her alone, right?" Janice asked.
"No," Chandler answered, "her dad and her mom raised her, the way it should be."
"Ah… I understood that she and Ross weren't together."
"For a while they weren't, but they got together, even so, all the time since she was born they raised her and educated her together," Monica answered.
"And your friend Phoebe, how is she, is she still doing the massages? Inquiry Janice
"Yes, a few months ago she got married, she is very happy," Monica told her.
"That girl always seemed strange to me, I thought she would never get married," said Janice with a surprised face and a mocking smile first and then one of her loud laughs.
"Phoebe is not strange, she is a free soul who found the man of her life and she didn't let him go, like Chandler and me, we are perfect for each other" Monica responded smugly and with the intention of leaving the feelings well clear.
"And Joey, ¡he's the only one I'm missing of the three!," said Janice, laughing out loud at her unbearable voice. "I never understood why he didn't love me!"
"I don't think that matters right now, and it probably wouldn't be hard for him to explain it to you," Chandler replied.
Then Janice suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Have you thought about where you're going on vacation?" "Because it would be great if we rented a house on the beach together, usually with the gang we are going to Atlantis City"
"It won't be possible, we spent the holidays at Monica's parents' beach house," Chandler answered.
"Oh! And where it is, we could all change beaches this year," Janice asked, clearly interested to know what her new vacation destination would be.
"In Puerto Vallarta," Chandler answered quickly.
"Oh, how far away, it's in Mexico, right? It must be very nice," Janice reflected.
"Yes, it's very far, the air tickets are very expensive, but we compensate since we don't spend on accommodation," Chandler answered with a certain tranquility of having diverted the ball.
"Well, in addition to visiting you I came to tell Monica that on Wednesday at 4 pm the girls in my gang met to play bridge, I already told them that you would come, that's how they know you," Janice said, looking at Monica.
"Janice, I don't know how to play Bridge," Monica answered.
"It doesn't matter," Janice shouted and laughed out loud, "we teach you, plus we have a fun time, laughing and laughing, ¡they are all very funny and loud like me!,"
Monica gave Chandler a "you were right" look.
"Look Janice," Monica said with the best fake smile she could muster, "I thank you for the invitation, but the babies are just a week old on Thursday, I don't want to leave them, there are two of them, I want to be with Chandler to take care of them."
"Oh! I'm such a fool!" Janice said, fanning her face, "don't worry, it's already fixed, I'll tell the girls that the day after tomorrow we're all coming to your house, so you don't leave the babies. We meet on Wednesdays, one day in each house, this week we start here, we bring the children to play in the garden, you prepare something sweet, so you can distract yourself for a while from bottles and diapers" said Janice with a big smile, for your proper decision.
"Interesting idea," Chandler said with his index finger on his chin, eyes looking up, and with a small mocking smile directed at Monica he added, "you deserve that distraction."
Monica gave her husband the worst Geller look and said "yeah, that might be a good idea, Chandler will take care of all the kids" and she smiled back.
"Perfect, the girls will be delighted to meet you and see your house, they are all like me, very fun and curious, they are dying to meet you" Janice said very satisfied, but she did not stop there…
"Oh!, I almost forgot! She said with her typical shout, "we are four couples and every Saturday we meet in one house at a time for a barbecue, we take turns, on Saturday we have one at Margaret's house and I already told everyone that I will go with you, obviously with all our children." … "The boys are also very fun, I know that Chandler will join the group perfectly" … and she continued "then we will arrange when it is your turn to take charge of the barbecue"
"Look Janice," Chandler said immediately and in a didactic manner, "we thank you for your intention for us to join your gang, and we will surely do so, but understand, we have two babies who only turned one week old on Thursday, Monica and I are adapting to the tasks that they demand of us and the lack of sleep. Added to this is that we moved four days ago, and we are also adapting to the management of the new house. We still have to buy furniture." Chandler paused and looked at Janice with a serious face
"Give us a few weeks, when we are ready we will let you know and Monica will go with you to bridge and we will all meet for the barbecues, but the invitations that you have just given us, and for which we thank you, we will leave for later"
"Sure Chandler! You're right, I'm so happy and excited to have you around, I understand that I rushed too much, I explain to the others that you need some time, and you'll let me know when you're ready," said Janice with a smile and a gesture of forgiveness.
"Anyway, I know I'm not bothering, I'm family, so I'll come visit you to see how you're progressing," said Janice, "and by the way, I'll bring you a chicken that I prepare to the perfect point," Janice said to Monica with a mocking smile, remembering the restaurant episode.
Monica's colors rose to her face, but before she answered, Chandler intervened again to help.
"You don't read The Gourmet magazine a few months ago? the chicken that Monica prepares came out first among all the chickens prepared in Manhattan restaurants" "it could surely be due to the type of chicken they use in their restaurant; they always buy chickens that fly"
"Janice? Do you buy regular chickens or chickens that fly?" Chandler asked with a poker face.
Monica had to try hard not to burst out laughing.
"I don't know," said Janice thoughtfully, "will they have both kinds on the market?"
"Maybe they only sell the ones that fly to restaurants," Chandler replied.
"I'm going to find out," Janice said and continued.
"Now my children and I are leaving, surely the babies will be about to wake up, another day I will come with more time and at a better time to meet them" said Janice as she stood with Aaron in her arms, and also towards Ruth
