Hey! Thanks again for the reviews. This is going to my first fic with chapters. So tell me if you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own them, but I wish that I did. I'd have a more interesting life. Anyway, read and enjoy.

Monica came in the front door and smiled when she saw all her friends in her living room. It was two weeks before Christmas. She had just gotten the best news of her life and she couldn't wait to share it with everyone. She had decided to wait until Christmas as a present. Her husband gave her a kiss on the cheek as she took her seat.

"How was your day?" He asked.

"Not bad," she lied trying to hide her excitement. "Yours?"

"Fine," he told her. "Better now that your here."

"You two are so cute!" Rachel said. "Makes me sick." Everyone laughed and continued the conversation they had been having when Monica had walked in.

"Want to go Christmas shopping with us tomorrow Mon?" Phoebe asked. Monica nodded.

"Sounds great," she told her. The next day they were walking through the mall talking and laughing. Christmas songs floated through the air and Monica was feeling happy and joyous.

"What did you get Chandler?" Rachel asked.

"Um," Monica said. "I got him a watch." This was true, she had. But she had also gotten him something else.

"I got everyone done except Monica," Phoebe said. "And that's because she's here."

"I'm hungry," Monica said. "I can go get something to eat and meet you back here in an hour."

"Great," Rachel said. "Thanks Mon." They ran off and Monica smiled as she made her way to the food court. A little girl with dark hair and bright blue eyes looked up at her and smiled.

"Do you know where my mommy is?" She asked. Monica shook her head.

"Do you want me to help you find her?" She asked. The little girl nodded. "What's your name?"

"Hailey," she said.

"Hi Hailey, I'm Monica," Monica told her. She nodded and Monica took her hand and walked to the information booth.

"What's your Mom's name?" Monica asked.

"Lynn," Hailey said. Monica nodded and told the man that she had lost her mother. They called her mother's name over the loudspeaker and Monica realized that she was still starving. There was an ice cream stand right near where they were standing.

"Do you want some ice cream?" Monica asked. Hailey's face lit up and she nodded her head. Monica went over and bought them both some.

"Do you have kids?" Hailey asked as they sat on the bench and ate their ice cream.

"No," Monica said. "But I'm going to have one. I'm pregnant." The little girl was the first person she had told. It finally felt like it was real.

"Really?"

"Uh-huh," Monica told her. All of a sudden they heard a woman scream out Hailey's name.

"That's my mommy," Hailey explained. Monica laughed.

"I can tell," she told the little girl. The woman rushed over and hugged Hailey ignoring that she now had ice cream in her hair.

"This is Monica," Hailey told her. "She helped me find you. And she bought me ice cream. And she's going to be a mommy real soon."

"Thank you," the woman said. "And congratulations."

"Thank you, and it was no problem," Monica told her smiling.

"Come on Hailey," the woman said. "Thanks again." She smiled at Monica and took her daughter's hand and led her away. Monica found herself starving and reminded herself that she was hungry. She walked over to the food court and ordered a chicken sandwich and made her way over to the tables and ate it and then went back to meet Phoebe and Rachel. She was a little late and her friends were waiting for her when she hurried over.

"Sorry," she said.

"Its okay," Rachel said. "We were a little late anyway."

"Oh good," Monica told them and they made their way across the mall. When they got to the Baby Gap, Monica told them to stop.

"Why?" Phoebe asked.

"I just wanted to...buy something for my assistant chef. She has a baby girl," Monica quickly made up an excuse. They bought it and walked in.

"When are you going to have a baby?" Rachel asked Monica fingering the baby clothes. "I want a baby to dress up and love."

"Have one of your own," Monica suggested.

"No," Phoebe said. "Because if you have one yourself then we can love it and play with it and then you guys can do the work."

"And your married," Rachel pointed out. "We aren't." Monica nodded.
"I'll talk to Chandler about that one," she humored them. The truth was that it was killing her not to say that she was having a baby. That her and Chandler were going to be parents. She kept her mouth shut though and bought a stuff animal and hurried out of the store.

Monica finished the touches on her presents and placed them under the tree. Everyone had been over before and now it was just them and they were about to exchange presents. Monica was nervous. Chandler came in and sat down and handed her a beautifully wrapped present and she opened it to reveal a long slender box. She pulled it out and it was a locket. On one side was a picture of her and him and on the other side were his vows that he had made on their wedding day. She smiled broadly.

"Its gorgeous," she told him leaning forward to kiss him. "Now yours." She first handed him the long skinny box. He opened it and pulled out the watch.

"Thanks Mon," he told her smiling. He kissed her passionately. "Want to move this Christmas celebration to the bedroom?"

"Wait," she said. "You have another present."

"Monica," he told her. "The watch was enough."

"Nope," she told him handing him another box. He tore the paper off and revealed a piece of stationary. He unfolded it and read the words three times before it sunk in.

I'm pregnant. We're going to have a baby.

"Really?" He grinned. He was so happy that he felt like he was going to explode. He picked her up and spun her around and kissed her.

"You're happy?"

"Are you kidding me?" He asked. "I'm ecstatic! I've never been happier." He kissed her again. "Let's tell the gang."

"Right now?"

"Yes," he told her. "I can't wait to tell everyone." He ran to Joey's and Rachel's. His hand was wrapped tightly around his wife's. They all looked up when the door opened.

"What's up?" Joey asked. "We all thought that Chandler would get lucky with that locket."

"He will," Monica smiled.

"Ew," Ross made a face.

"Monica just gave me my Christmas present," Chandler said.

"I thought it was a watch," Phoebe said.

"That was one," Chandler's grin got bigger and bigger. "But the other one was...we're going to have a baby! Monica is pregnant!"

"Oh that's great!" Rachel said as they all got up to hug the happy couple.

"You knew," Phoebe accused Monica. "That's why we went into the Baby Gap!"

"Yep," Monica admitted. "I wanted to tell him when it was perfect."

"I have to go do something," Chandler said.

"Honey," Monica said. "It's Christmas."

"I know," he promised. "I'll be back." He kissed her on the cheek and then the stomach and grabbed his coat and told Joey and Ross to come with him.

"Where are we going?" Joey asked. Monica was overwhelmed with Phoebe and Rachel. They were asking questions and listing the things that they needed to do before the baby came.

"Calm down," Monica said.

"We'll have to go buy cribs and baby clothes, are you going to know the sex? Doesn't matter, we'll go neutral," Rachel said.

"Breathe," Monica reminded. "We have another seven months."

"Seven?" Phoebe asked.

"I'm two months pregnant," Monica said. Rachel continued to list the things that they needed as Monica made herself comfortable on the couch and took a nap.

"You took us to a bar?" Ross asked when they arrived where Chandler wanted them to.

"Yep," Chandler said walking in. It was filled with lonely people who were drowning their sorrows in a nice frosty mug. He cleared his throat and everyone looked up. "Hi," he said. "You don't know me, but I've just had the best Christmas of my life. My beautiful, amazing, incredible wife just told me that we are going to be parents and I thought that I would share this happiness with all of you." There was an assorted amount of grunts and groans, but Chandler ignored them. "So I'm buying everyone a drink." They all cheered for him. He paid the bartender and then dragged Joey and Ross out and to the bar down the street. After four bars, he stopped.

"Why four?" Joey asked.

"That's how many kids I want to have with Monica," he explained. "Now that I'm broke, lets go back and celebrate with the girls." When they got to the apartment, they found Rachel and Phoebe busy making plans for the baby and Monica fast asleep on the couch. Chandler smiled and picked her up and said goodnight to everyone and carried her into their apartment and laid her gently on the bed without waking her up. He kissed her on the cheek and changed her into pajamas and then changed himself and climbed in and hugged her close. Next to his wedding day, this was the best day of his life.

The months seemed to fly by for Monica and Chandler. Rachel and Monica decorated the nursery and it looked great. Monica decided that she didn't want to know the sex of the baby, so they had gone with baby jungle animals. The stuff animal that Monica had bought was sitting in the middle of the crib. The only thing missing was a baby. Chandler was so excited, he even called his mother and father to tell them that they were going to be grandparents. Nora had told him that she would be there when the baby was born and for once, Chandler didn't wish that she wouldn't come. One night Monica sat on the couch leaning against Chandler.

"So," Chandler said. "Should we think about names?"

"Well, we have only a month to go," Monica said. "That's probably a really good idea."

"What about boy's names?" He asked. "I really like Alexander."

"Alexander? Not bad," Monica said. "I like Zachary, no you know what? I really like Alexander. Alexander Zachary Bing."

"I love it," Chandler said leaning down and kissing her. They had a boy's name with little problems. "Now girls." Monica knew what name she wanted to name her if she was a girl.

"Hailey," she told him. He looked down at her and knew that she had her heart set on this name. And she had given so easily to Alexander because she knew that he liked it.

"I like it," he told her. Her face lit up and he grinned.

"What about a middle name?" She asked.

"What about Elizabeth? After you," he told her smiling. (Author's note: I don't know Monica's middle name, just that it starts with an E. So I picked my middle name.)

"Hailey Elizabeth," Monica repeated to herself. "I think it fits." So the baby had a name. Now they only had to wait one more month for her or him to arrive.

**** I'll get the second part up as soon as I can! I hope you liked it. I liked writing it. It gave me something to do other then read my school books. *******
