So, this too I haven't updated for a whole year. Even more. So! I've decided of a great ending chapter on this one! TOW the What If's last chapter= What If They All Had Babies. The title says it all! I will not delay it any longer! Please R&R! Have a nice day, readers.
It was the usual setting at Central Perk, like any other weekend. The six friends were hanging around and doing things they usually do. Chandler was cracking up jokes as Monica tried to stop him; Rachel and Ross were insulting each other, that's the way how they show their love for each other; Phoebe and Mike were flirting with each other; and Joey? Well Joey was telling every girl he meets "How you doing" so that he could partner with someone for the day. If you know what I mean.
Weirdly, as Joey didn't get a single girl for the day, he sat down on the couch all sad. "We're not getting any younger and I'm the only one who's single! This is bad! Really baaad!"
"Awww, Joey don't say that," Monica tried to comfort him as he put her hand on his thigh. "Being married isn't the best thing in the world."
Chandler eyed Monica all shocked. "What?"
She smiled at her husband to make up for what she had just said. She didn't mean it. It just came out of him. "I mean being married to other people aside from Chandler isn't the best thing in the world. Ha, ha."
Ross tried to crack up the joke. "No, I think if you're a guy and is straight, being married to Chandler is the worst thing to the world."
Rachel, Phoebe and Mike could just laugh.
Chandler eyed them all a bit annoyed. "Ha ha! Now when he jokes, you laugh!"
"Hey, hey! We're talking about me here!" Joey interrupted.
"We're sorry Joey, continue what you're about to say," Rachel said.
"Gladly. Now. As I was saying, I'm not getting any younger and I'm still single! And all of you are having a blast! Ross and Rachel with Emma, Chandler and Monica with Jack and Erica, and Phoebe and Mike with… each other!"
Mike turned around a bit. Phoebe could just look down.
"What's wrong guys?" Rachel asked.
"Well, Joey, you're wrong. I may be happy with Mike but something is missing," Phoebe began to speak.
"Don't say it, Pheebs," Mike said. He wasn't ready yet.
"I want a baby Mike Hannigan!!!" she screamed out loud.
Silence was in the air until Mike could reason out. "But I'm not yet ready to become a father, Pheebs!"
"When will you be? I know we do it every night but-" Phoebe was cut-off when Mike put his hand on her mouth to stop her from saying such embarrassing things.
"Now, now, honey, please don't tell everyone about this. People are looking at us," he explained as his hand was still blocking her mouth.
Phoebe bit his finger. "Oww!" he said and waved his finger to and fro.
"But just think of it Mike, what if we had a baby? Then everybody would have babies! Wouldn't that be great? We would be aunts and uncles to each other," she explained.
That conversation was not helping Joey at all. "Hey! What about me?!"
"Okay, what if everyone, including Joey had a baby, huh? Ever think about that?"
They all made thinking positions. Hmm… Phoebe had a point, what if?
What if they all had babies?
The scene takes place at the Bing residence, where Monica, Chandler and their kids were playing with the toys at the Living Room. The doorbell then rang and Chandler opened the door to see who it was. It was Rachel and Ross with Emma. They came for the usual weekend hang-out/ family bonding with the gang. After all, they were all aunts and uncles now.
As Ross and Rachel left Emma to play with Erica and Jack; Ross, Rachel, Monica and Chandler decided to go to the other side of the Living Room to talk about how they've been for the week. Monica first prepared some tea for all of them and Chandler started cracking up his jokes. Oh the agony for Ross and Rachel.
Again, the doorbell rang and Chandler opened the door. Ross and Rachel were saved in the meantime from his low and not-funny jokes. Absolutely not-funny jokes. Sarcastic jokes, if you call it.
As the door was opened, Mike and Phoebe were revealed with their own son, Paulo. As they stepped in the house, Paulo immediately joined the other kids to play. He was no stranger to them and in fact were really good friends to them. Mike and Phoebe then just went inside and joined Ross and Rachel. Monica finally got to serve the tea.
Finally, the doorbell rang one last time and Chandler answered it again. It was Joey with this baby bag where the baby was actually in it, right in front of Joey, just like a real father.
This kid he was carrying was his adopted son. He got tired of being the only one without a baby, so he decided to adopt one, since he couldn't stay steady with any girl or find his true love.
But he was surprisingly happy with this. The baby sure did wonders for his love life. He got more dates with it even. You could say that a baby was a babe magnet.
Anyway, going back to the story, Joey entered and brought the baby to play with the other kids. He then took a seat with the others and they all bonded about their days of the week. They had normal conversations of dinosaurs, courtesy of Ross; crepes, courtesy of Monica; fashion, courtesy of Rachel; acting, courtesy of Joey; singing, courtesy of Phoebe; and whatever Chandler does for his job now. He transferred to a new job and even Monica still didn't understand his job. At least they get a lot of money and that's what's important.
Back to Reality
"See, it would be great if we all had babies!" Phoebe said to her husband.
"Yeah," Joey nodded happily, still thinking of what might happen if he did adopt a kid.
"So? Are you okay with having a baby?" Phoebe asked Mike once more. "As I said we do it every night and-"
He cut her off again as he placed his hand on her mouth.
"Okay, okay, honey. I'm okay with having a baby."
Phoebe removed his hand from her mouth. "Then you'll be pleased to know I'm pregnant."
Mike stood up in surprise. That came out of nowhere. He never expected her to say that. He just thought that she wanted to start making babies as soon as they get home. "What!?!"
She smiled even more. "I'm pregnant Mike! I just found out this morning since I didn't have my regular period, and I vomited a lot lately."
He was so overwhelmed. He didn't know what to feel.
"Aren't you happy? You said you're okay with having a baby."
He hugged her happily. "Of course I am! I'm just so happy!" Tears began to come from his eyes. Happy tears.
"Aww, I'm so happy for you Phoebe, Mi…" Monica started off speaking just fine but suddenly looked like she was going to puke. She ran off to the bathroom as fast as she could.
"What is up with her? I hope she's fine. She's been complaining too that she hasn't gotten her regular period yet, but I just told her that sometimes happens. That happened to my mom too," Chandler explained.
"Uh, Chandler, you know… that happened to your mom when she got pregnant again from her boyfriend. Remember you couldn't stop ranting about it and wished she had her period back?" Ross explained.
He stood up from his seat in surprise. "Are you saying Monica's pregnant!?!"
Rachel stood up and hugged Chandler. "Oh, I'm so happy for you two! I didn't think you two could reproduce on your own! You know with Monica having an inhospitable environment and you having… slow swimmers. Oh, I just can't believe it! Phoebe and Monica are… pre…" She also looked liked she was going to puke. She ran to the bathroom as well, swiftly as she can.
Ross stood up this time. "Don't tell me…"
Chandler smiled at him sarcastically. Now he knew the feeling of his wife being pregnant.
"I did not expect this to happen around this time, I know we do it every night but-"
"See! We're not the only ones who do it every night, Mike! See!" Phoebe said all excitedly and pointed at her husband like a little girl. "Yay! Monica, Rachel and I are all gonna have…" Phoebe felt bad too and ran to the bathroom.
Mike could just sigh. "You know, there's no more surprise to me that they're all running of to the bathroom just to puke. Anyway, I'm just really happy that I'm finally gonna be a father. At first I couldn't handle it, but I can't wait for that baby to come out!"
Joey who remained all silent as he was eating a burrito and still imagining life with an adopted kid then felt something in his stomach. He afterwards ran to the bathroom too, but accidentally the girls' bathroom. Screams were heard from Rachel and the other girls, and some even left the bathroom.
Chandler, Mike and Ross all looked at each other.
"What's his deal?" Mike asked.
"I think I know. Joey was eating a spicy burrito, right?" Ross explained.
They all nodded as they looked at each other and said in unison. "The runs."
