Chapter Text
Joey was in the kitchen making breakfast, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. It hadn’t been there before, maybe he shouldn’t go snooping, it was something private of Chandler’s. It wouldn’t hurt if he just took a peek.
Joey lifted the picture up, was this what he thought it was? An ultrasound picture? What was chandler doing with an ultrasound picture? Did he knock some random girl up?!
He had to talk to someone other than chandler about this.
“Joey what is it?”
“I found an ultrasound picture, and it’s not mine! So who’s is it”
Everyone looked shocked, Chandler panicked. This wasn’t how Joey was supposed to find out.
“Well it’s not mine”
“Phoebe?”
“How could it be me? I just had three!”
“So that just leaves Monica?”
“Don’t be looking at me, I’m not pregnant, in fact I’m actually on my-“
“Do not finish that sentence!”
Chandler was freaking out, what if everyone found out that he was pregnant, moreover what if Joey found out.
“Chandler do you know anything about this?”
“I...uh...no no, I don’t know anything about it”
Monica looked over at chandler
“Ha I saw that look! Monica, is chandler the father of your baby?”
Without hesitation chandler took his chance
“Yes! Me and Monica had sex and now she’s pregnant. Happy now”
Monica looked like she wanted to kill chandler
“Monica?”
Monica sighed she didn’t want to let chandler down
“Yes I’m pregnant it’s Chandler’s”
Ross came over and hugged her
“Oh my god my little sister is going to be a mom!”
“Yeah I’m gonna be a mom! I’m gonna be a mom!”
“Okay Monica can we calm down”
“What’s there to calm down about! You’re gonna be a dad buddy!”
Chandler felt sick, and yes he knew it wasn’t because he was pregnant. But this was the best he could come up with, and when the baby was born him and Monica could raise the child together, what else could he do?
Everyone had left, it was just Monica and chandler
“Why did you tell everyone I was pregnant!”
“Because it was the easiest thing to do at the time! I wasn’t thinking!”
“Well what happens when you get all big and round and I don’t huh?”
“Uh...I could just say I’m fat”
“And what about me when I don’t actually grow a baby bump?”
“We could buy a fake baby bump, it’s not like we’re actually faking a pregnancy here, the baby will still be born. It’ll just come out of me instead”
“Yes well what about when you go into labour?”
“Ohhh”
“Uh huh, chandler this has gone too far, we can’t pretend I’m pregnant. You’re going to have to tell everyone that you are”
“Can we not just pretend you are until I’m ready”
“Chandler this could bite you back in the ass, what about when Joey finds out the truth. He’ll be devastated. At the end of the day this is still his baby”
Chandler sighed, he didn’t know what to do, well except run to the bathroom. This was the worst thing about being pregnant.
“Okay fine we’ll pretend I’m pregnant until you’re ready, but chandler this is going to get messy.”
“I know, I know. But I’m just not ready, I guess I’ll be more ready when I grow bigger I don’t know”
“Well we best go shopping for a fake baby bump then”
“But can I try it on first?”
Monica laughed
“Why? So you wanna see what you’ll look like in a few months”
“Do you want me to barf all over you?”
“No...”
“Good, now let’s go”
