Do You Believe In Love After Love, Part IX
By Catalina M.
I cant believe I'm actually writing part 9, but oh well, I'm
on winter vacations and right now I have nothing else to do. I
bet you probably don't remember what happened on chapter 8 cause
it was written almost 5 months ago, so you can either read it
again or read this little summary to refresh your mind.
What happened on Chapter 8: After 2 years Chandler sees Monica
again and after talking he discovers that the real reason why
Monica left him was because she couldn't have babies and she
wanted him to have a family and be happy. Chandler offered
himself to go with her to another doctor to see if she actually
cant have babies...
Disclaimer: I've never seen a point on writing this thing, 'cause
for me its pretty obvious I do not own the FRIENDS characters, if
I did it would be more drama than comedy (or something between
those two) and it wouldn't be as popular as it is... it probably
wouldn't exist anymore! But, anyway, if you are a fan you know
who owns them. And the guys who actually own them, if they ever
read this, they know who they are.
Stop with the talking and on with the 'fic!
Chandler and Monica talked a lot after their re-encounter in
the restaurant. They talk about what had been going on with their
lives and they also talked about what had happened 2 years ago.
They expressed their feelings about it: Hurt, anger, sadness and
anything that had gone through their minds this past two years.
They seemed like good friends again, they could be totally open
with each other, but still never forgetting what had happened two
years ago.
2 DAYS LATER
Chandler was sitting in the couch in his apartment when the phone
rang. He leaned over the couch and picked it up.
"Hello"
"Chandler? It's Monica, I'm calling to tell you that I'm
ready, so where do we meet?"
"That's right, hmmm, lets meet at you apartment in 10
minutes, ok?"
"Yeah Ok" Monica smiled "Oh, and chandler?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you for doing this"
"No problem, see you in 10 minutes, bye!"
"Bye"
Chandler hang up and smiled, he couldn't believe he saw Monica
again after so many years, he had dreamt about this for years
since she left, and he never thought it would come true, but it
did.
-*-*-*-*-*-
Chandler arrived to Monica's apartment and knocked on the door. A
few seconds later she came and opened.
"Hey" Monica said and smiled.
"Hello" He said, smiling back "Ready to go?"
"Yeah, let me get my coat" She went back inside and got
her coat, then closed the door behind her and they left.
On their way the hospital they talked, but avoiding the 'cant
have babies' topic. Monica was really nervous, she wanted the
results to say that she could have babies, but she would feel
really bad because she ruined two years with a person she really
loved just because one doctor made a mistake and she didn't tell
Chandler about it.
She looked outside the window and sighed, she wish she wouldn't
have lost those two years... if only she could turn back time,
but she couldn't...
-*-*-*-*-*-
Chandler waited impatiently in the waiting room. Monica was in a
room with the doctor, she had been there for 15 minutes now, and
she had already taken the exam. He hoped the best for her, he
wanted her to be happy and he knew that having her own babies was
a big dream she had and still has.
Minutes later, Monica came out of the room where she had been
talking with the doctor. Chandler saw the doctor leave and then
looked at Monica. She had a expressionless look on her face, he
wish he could tell right away what the doctor had said.
"How did it go?" He asked as he stood up "What did
he say?"
He could see a smile appearing on Monica's face
"Well..." she started "The other doctor was wrong.
Yes, I can have babies, but it will be more hard than for other
woman, but I still have the chance and there are treatments to
help me" Her smile was now bigger.
Chandler looked at her and smiled too, if only she had found that
out two years ago...
They walked over to each other and Chandler hugged her tightly.
Monica was so happy that for no reason, when she saw him coming,
she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips.
Chandler was surprised when she kissed her and when he was about
to kiss back, she pulled away.
"I'm sorry" She said and looked away "We better
get going" She started walking towards the door and to the
car 'Why did you kiss him, you idiot!' She said to herself 'You
are not together anymore, get it? Not together!' She sighed as
she waited for Chandler in the car.
Chandler looked puzzled, what had just happened? He knew she had
kissed him and she had pulled away, the moment their lips touched
he felt some hope, he felt he may get her back... but when she
pulled away and said she was sorry all that hope was taken away.
She had being carried away by the moment and of course she
regretted it. He sighed and walked towards the car.
-*-*-*-*-*-
On their way to Monica's apartment they didn't say anything to
each other. Chandler didn't even look at her, and she felt awful.
She shouldn't have kissed him in the first place.
-*-*-*-*-*-
When they arrived to Monica's building, Chandler took her to her
apartment. She opened the door and he was ready to leave when he
heard Monica say "Would you like to come in" He looked
at her and wanted to say no, but he thought about it and decided
to come in and after a few minutes say he had to leave, so he
agreed and they entered her apartment.
They sat in the couch and shared an awkward silence. Then after
thinking for a while Chandler decided to break it and asked:
"Why did you kiss me in the first place?"
Monica looked at him, she preferred to have an awkward silence
than to talk about it "I...I don't know, I guess I got
carried by the moment, I'm sorry"
"Well, next time just don't do it, not with me" He
sighed "Look, when we kissed I thought we could be something
again, you know, but when you pulled back and said you were sorry
I lost every hope. If you want to break my heart again I would
really appreciate it if you didn't do it. One time is
enough"
Monica looked at him "You had hope on 'us'" She asked
surprised.
"Yeah and laugh all you want, stupid thought, I know"
"No, its not stupid, Chandler. I...I..." She paused.
"You what?"
"Look, I wanted to give us another chance too, but I didn't
know if you were going to be able to forgive me or if you wanted
to be with me again. Yeah, you don't hate me and everything, but
who says you love and you want to get back together with me"
He looked at her and sat closer to her "I do want to get
back together with you" He whispered.
She smiled at him "You do?"
"Yeah"
"I'm sorry I kissed you and then said I was sorry, its just,
like I said, I didn't think you would want anything with me, so I
said sorry to you, 'cause I was afraid you would get mad because
I kissed you when you didn't want anything between us to
happen... Because for me, I was more than happy, I've been
waiting two whole years to kiss you again..."
He smiled at her "I've been waiting two whole years to kiss
you again too" He put one hand to her face and brought her
closer, kissing her again. Softly at first, then turning more
passionate. When they broke it Monica looked at him worried.
"What?" he asked.
"Do you believe in love after love?"
"What do you mean?" He asked confused.
"Do you think you can love me again after all I did to
you?" She asked, nervous.
"Monica?"
"Yeah?"
"I never stopped loving you" He smiled and leaned in to
kiss her again. She was really happy that he still loved her. She
still loved him too. She wrapped her arms around her neck and
pulled him down with her to the couch.
They had missed each other so much... and they were happy they
could finally be together again...
-*-*-*-*-*-
A YEAR AND A HALF LATER
They had gotten engaged 6 months ago and started living together
3 months ago. Chandler was ready to get married and wasn't too
scared about it. They were getting married in a year. Both happy
about their decision
Chandler entered the apartment he was sharing with Monica, he
left his suitcase next to a table and noticed two bags next to
the door. He felt scared "Not again, please..." He said
to himself.
Monica came out of their bedroom and saw him "Hey
honey" She said and placed some mail on the table.
"Hey... what are those two bags for? Are you leaving
again?" He asked, nervously. Half serious, half joking.
"Yeah" She said simply...
"But-but why?!"
She laughed "I'm leaving, but not alone this time"
He was even more confused now "Huh?"
"You are coming with me, you wuss!"
He sighed in relief "Oh good... you scared me!"
She laughed again "Yeah, I could see that"
He gave her a kiss "Where are we going and why?"
"Away for the weekend, because..." she paused and
smiled.
"Because........" He said, waiting for her to continue.
"Because" she took a deep breath and yelled "I'M
PREGNANT!!!"
He smiled wide "Really?!"
"Yeah I am, I didn't want to tell you anything until I was
sure and I went to the doctor two days ago and today they told me
I was pregnant! It took us a while, but it happened!" She
jumped into his arms and they kissed.
"That's great honey!" He puts her down and said
"We are going to celebrate like crazy this weekend" He
said and grinned "What do you say we start celebrating
now?"
Monica just smiled as she was picked up and carried to their
bedroom.
