Happy Again
"You're what?" Chandler looked at her.
"I'm pregnant." She repeated.
"But preg... how...what?" He stuttered. "How long?"
"8 weeks." She told him.
"8 weeks? So, its...umm...I'm the..." His voice trailed off.
"Yeah." She nodded, knowing what he was asking.
"Right." He said, starting ahead.
"Chandler, I'm so scared..." She whispered, causing him to turn and look at her. "What if the same thing happens again?"
"I don't know, Mon..." He said quietly. "I guess, all we can do is pray that it doesn't."
She nodded slightly and looked down at her hands for a moment before back up at him.
"You are happy about this, aren't you?" She asked.
"I'm surprised... but yeah, I am happy about it..." He assured. "I mean, I said I wanted more kids."
"But we're not married, we're not even together... it was just a bonus night."
"I know that it's not the perfect situation but we can make it work...there's no one I'd rather do this with."
"Really?" She asked.
"Yeah." He nodded smiling slightly. "We might have some explain to do to everyone though."
"Arg, I know... we've just managed to convince them that we're over... they're going to start trying to get us back together again."
"Maybe they'll understand." He said, fighting back to urge to ask whether that would be a bad thing.
"Maybe."

Monica looked at herself in the full length mirror, her hand resting on her small bump. She was now 4 months pregnant and even though the doctor had told them the baby was doing fine and was healthy, both her and Chandler were still worried. They hadn't told anyone else just yet in case something went wrong but they knew they'd have to do it soon because Monica was starting to show more now.
Chandler stood in the doorway watching her for a moment. Even though he had been staying in the spare room there since he had been realised from hospital, nothing more happened between the two of them, although it had come close sometimes.
"Hey, everything okay?" He asked, startling her. "Sorry."
She turned and smiled at him slightly. "I still can't believe we're having a baby."
"I know." He replied, walking over to her. "And I can't believe no one has noticed."
"Well, they're going to come out and ask why I've suddenly become fat, are they?" She joked.
"You're not fat." He rolled his eyes.
"Whatever." She replied. "You think, they're going to be okay with all of this?"
"Yeah, sure...I mean, if we're happy then they should be too." He shrugged.
"I guess you're right..." She replied.
"Well, we'll find out tonight." He added. "Are sure you want to tell everyone now?"
"Yeah, we have to do it sometime, right?"
"Right." He nodded in agreement, he placed his hand gently on her stomach that was now covered with a baggy shirt. "We can hiding it forever.
She smiled when he did. "You've been amazing, you know that?"
"I haven't done anything?" He glanced up at her.
"Yes, you have...you been here for me even after everything that has happened."
"I wouldn't have been anywhere else." He assured her.
"I know." She smiled and kissed his cheek but before she had chance to step back, he placed his lips on hers. She was surprised at first but kissed back as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer.
They were so caught up in the kiss that they didn't hear the front door opening or the sound of footsteps on the stairs.
"Mon, you in here..." Ross' voice trailed off as he watched the couple jump apart.
"Ross..." Monica said looking at her brother and then to Chandler. "Um, we were...umm.."
"You don't need to explain..." Ross held up his hand to stop her.
"No, it's not what you think."She told him.
"It's okay...Rachel and I come over to see if you needed any help for tonight but we can just go..."
"No, it's fine...stay and hang out for a while." Monica told him, walking towards the door. "I guess I should check on dinner."
Ross looked at Chandler, who had been silent the whole time.
"What's going on between you two?" He asked.
Chandler sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. "I wish I knew."
"Are you back together?"
"No."
"Are you going to get back together?"
"I don't know."
"Do you want to get back together."
"What is this, 20 questions?"
"Chandler, just tell me what's going on!"
"I want too but I don't think Monica does... "
"What?" Ross sat next to him. "Have you talked to her about it."
"Sort of... but not much...there's been other things going on."
"Like what?"
"I'll explain, later." Chandler stood up.
"Chandler, what is it?" He asked, grabbing his arm to stop him from walk away. "She's my sister and you're like a brother to me..."
"Ross..." He sighed.
"Please, I might be able to help you."
"It's complicated."
"So, just tell me?"
"Okay, fine but you can't freak out okay?" Chandler gave in. "And you can't tell anyone."
"Okay, I promise."
"Monica and I didn't get divorce because we just drifted apart..."
"I knew it!"
"Do you have to interrupt?" Chandler glared at him slightly.
"Sorry."
"Right, well the thing is...we...umm... we were going to have a baby."
"What?"
"Not long after the twins were born, we found out Monica was pregnant."
"What happened?"
"She had a miscarriage." Chandler looked down at his hands.
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"I don't know...after that everything went really fast... neither of us handle it very well and that's why we got divorced."
"We could have helped you!"
"We didn't want help." Chandler told him. "We just wanted to forget."
"So, what now?" Ross asked. "You both realised you do actually love each other and want to get married again."
"Not exactly..." Chandler said slowly. "She's four months pregnant."
"What?"
"We slept together after that big fight we had..." Chandler admitted. "But then she said she didn't want to be with me...so we decided to stay friends."
"But you don't want to be?"
"No, I love her... none of this should have happened in the first place."
"Have you told her that."
"No."
"Why not? Maybe she feels the same."
"She doesn't."
"I've seen the way she looks at you, Chandler... and when you're not around, she always talking about you."
"That doesn't mean..."
"Look, the way I see it... you can carry on and raise your children as friends or you can tell her how you really feel and maybe she'll surprise you by feeling the same way."
"You think so?"
"Yes."
"So, I should tell her?"
"Yes."
"Okay... I guess I can do that." He nodded slightly.
"Good because you're the only guy I really trust with my little sister."
Chandler looked at him and smiled. "Thanks, Man."

"Mon, can I talk you for a sec?" Chandler asked, watching as she cooked.
"Does it have to be now?" She glanced at him.
"Yeah, I want to get it over with before the others arrive."
She stopped and looked at him. "Is everything okay?"
"I love you."
"I know, I love you too..."
"No, I mean I really really love you...I never stopped." He explained. "And I want to be with you... I want us to raise out kids together properly like a normal family... I know everything we went through last time was terrible but we can do it this time... we can make it work."
She stared at him for a moment shocked by what he had said.
"Are you going to say something?" He asked after a few seconds of silence.
"I don't..." She started. "I don't know what to say."
"Just tell me how you feel."
"I love you too, Chandler so much... but that's why we're not together." She stated. "I don't want either of us to get hurt again, I don't think we can get through it if we did."
"We won't get hurt." He told her. "I promise you, this time everything will be perfect."
"How do you know?"
"Because we won't let it." He stated. "We've both changed, we're different people now but I still love you...you're still the one for me."
"You really think we can do it?"
He smiled softly and stepped closer to her, cupping her face in his hands. "Yes."
She looked up into his eyes and that when she knew that everything was going to be okay.
He smiled again and leaned in, pressing his lips against hers gently.
Everyone had now arrived and were stood watching them. Ross grinned and closed the door so they could have some privacy.
"What? How? When?" Rachel stuttered, looking at the others to see if they had known something. They all looked just surprised as she did, everyone part from Ross. "You knew didn't you!"
"Sort of..."
"Why didn't you tell us?" Phoebe asked. "What's going on with them?"
"Lets just say, Joey was right... they never stopped loving each other."
"I knew it!" Joey exclaimed. "So, they're back together for good?"
Ross glanced back at the closed door and smiled slightly. "Yeah, I think so."
