Title: When We Were Young

Summery: Monica and Chandler have a secret, and Monica has one of her own.


Chapter 1: Secrets


Monica Geller Bing sat on the edge of the tub staring at the stick in her hand. She sighed softly as she wiped the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hand. This was suppose to be the happiest day of her life but all it did was bring back memories. Monica blinked back more tears as she looked down at the pregnancy test she held in her hand. She slowly stood up. She was about to throw the test away but then she remembered how Phoebe had found Rachel's pregnancy test on the morning of her wedding. For now she slipped it in the pocket of her robe. She'd throw it away later.




Monica walked to her bedroom. She dug around in the back of her closet pulling out a small box. She sat down on the bed and opened it. Inside was her past. One that only her, Chandler, and her mom knew about. She smiled at the picture she looked at. It was Thanksgiving of 88. Chandler was dressed like Don Johnson from Miami Vice. She remembered the look on his face when she came down the stair. She was thin and wearing a tight black dress. After listening to Rachel Chandler ended up in the ER after she'd accidentally cut off his toe.



Chandler came back to her house after that and stayed the night. Monica had been in her room crying and he'd heard her on his way to the bathroom. He knocked lightly on her door. She was surprised to see him outside her door. He smiled at her and asked her why she was crying. She let him in and the two of them sat on the edge of her bed. She ended up confessing her feelings to him. Telling him she liked him alot and because she listened to Rachel and tried to flirt she'd ended up cutting off his toe. He had reached over and gently brushed away her tears. He told her it had been an accident to forget about it and that he liked her too. He slowly leaned in giving her ,her first real kiss.




After he left returning to NYU with Ross he called her a few times and they talked for hours. He surprised her by coming home with Ross for Christmas. They spent the whole week he was there together. On Christmas Eve Monica experienced another first with Chandler. Ross was out with Carol and her parents were at her dad's office Christmas party so her and Chandler had the house to themselves. They were snuggled up by the fireplace. Chandler looked over at her and caught her staring at him. He smiled telling her she looked beautiful in the glow from the fire then he leaned in and kissed her.




Their kissing got passionate and Monica felt herself gently laying back. Chandler had moved to her neck kissing it softly as his hands caressed her body. She was nervous but she felt safe with Chandler. She told him this would be her first time. He asked her if she was sure she wanted to continue. She smiled and nodded knowing in her heart Chandler was the one she wanted to give her flower to. Her first time had been everything she wanted it to be. Chandler was gentle and went slowly not wanting to hurt her. Afterwards they laid in each others arms. Chandler smiled down at her asking her if she was okay. She smiled and said she was terrific.


Monica looked at her wedding ring. She smiled she had no idea then that, that night she giving her flower to her future husband.



Only her and Chandler knew about that night. She had wanted to tell Rachel but because of her bad habit of gossiping she didn't. Ross was clueless too. Monica thought if he knew he'd probably kill Chandler.


Monica sighed sadly as she picked up a tiny hospital bad out of the box. Baby girl Bing was written on it. About a month after being with Chandler on Christmas Eve Monica began to feel sick throwing up alot, getting dizzy, and she was tired alot. She figured it was just the flu. Rachel had it the week before and she thought she'd caught it but 2 weeks passed and she was still sick and she hadn't gotten her period yet she started to fear she was pregnant. She took a home pregnancy test and when it was positive she sat down on the edge of the tub and cried.



She hid her pregnancy from everyone. She wanted to tell Chandler but she was afraid to. She was afraid of what he might say or do. So she kept quiet. She wore baggy clothes once she started to show. Everything was fine until her mom walked into the bathroom one day and caught her looking at her stomach. Judy had been horrified demanded to know how far along she was and who the father was. Judy was shocked when Monica told her she was six months and the father was Ross's college roommate Chandler Bing.




Judy made Monica tell Rachel and she was going to Florida for a few months to help Judy care for her sick grandma but she was really leaving to have her baby. So the two of them left Long Island for a few months. Judy forbid Monica from telling Chandler about the baby or from seeing him again. On July 15th 1989 Monica gave birth to a baby girl. She was a month early. Monica had heard her cry but she never got to see her. Later on she went to see her baby. She had insisted that the baby have Chandler's last name. When she got there she didn't see baby girl Bing anywhere. It was then that her mom told her that her baby had died. Monica cried for days over her baby girl. All she had of her was her little hospital bracelet and her birth certificate.




Monica couldn't help thinking about that little baby girl she lost 13 years ago. Especially after finding out she was pregnant. She hated herself right now. She'd lived across from Chandler for years then they got together. Then he moved in with her and married her and yet she never told him he had been a father that his little girl had died. He was going to hate her. She'd probably lose him forever. Monica set her hand on her stomach and began to cry. She heard keys jingling and the door open. She heard his voice. "Mon, Honey you home" he yelled out. Monica quickly hid the box under the bed and wiped her face.




Chandler walked into their bedroom. "Hey honey" he said smiling as he kissed her softly. Monica took a deep breath. "Here goes nothing" she said to herself. "Chandler, sweeite we need to talk." She told him.



Chapter 2: Telling The Truth....Monica tells Chandler about his daughter and is their daughter really dead? .....Coming Soon!


Author's Note: Okay new story! I've had this idea for quite awhile and I finally decided to write it. I've read fics where Chandler was Mon's first but I don't think I've ever read one where she had his baby. So I decided to do it! There will be a few surprises along the way and Judy will have a pretty big part in this story as will the rest of the gang! Well I hope you all like it! Pretty please read and review! Thanx!!
