Chapter 23: The one with Mika

It was the fifth month of my pregnancy and Joey and I were really happy about it. My belly had grown a lot and I was very excited about being a mother.

Joey and I were sitting on  the couch, when suddenly I felt my first kick. I sighed with astonishment. "What is it?" He asked in a surprised tone. "Touch!" I said, putting his hand on my belly. "Oh my god!" He screamed, as he felt another kick. I started to feel a lot more of kicks  and realized, that only one fetus couldn't cause so much kicks. 

- "Joey...." 

- "Yes?" Suddenly the kicks increased. 

- "Ok, too much!" I screamed to my belly. "What if there are more kids, and not only one..." 

- "What?" He was really surprised and amazed. 

- "I mean, the kicks I'm feeling are too much. This can't be caused by only one fetus!" 

Joey put his hand in my belly and realized, that the kicks came from different directions. 

- "They are definitly more than one!" 

- "Call the doctor and tell him to date us today instead of Monday, I can't wait!" 

Joey called the doctor and he gave us a date in ten minutes. "He says he can only see us now, or we'll have to wait till next Monday, which is within six days." I told him to go today, he helped me stand up and we left the apartment. 

"Ok, let's go!" Joey said, closing the door. Suddenly I noticed we hadn't a car, well, we had my grandma's car, but it was in a very bad state. It had gone broke when I helped Ross to reach Rachel and now it hadn't any side mirrors. "Joey we have a problem...." I started and got interrupted by the annoying laugh of my sister.  He came out of Mike's apartment in his arms.

"Ups!" She chuckled and Mike put her down. "What are you doing here sister?" I asked her. "I could do the same question to you!" She answered me in a non-chalant tone. "This is my house!" I told her, freaking out. "And this is mine!", She said pointing to Mike's, "Isn't it true Miky?" "Yes, baby!" He said with excitement, and they kissed. They were a really good and cute couple.  My sister must really be in love with him, because she had never been so cringe. Actually, she used to be the opposite of it. "Let's go Pheebs!" Joey said. "But we haven't any car to go with or anything else.... I don't know what to do, because Monica and Chandler are too far from the hospital and Ross and Rachel haven't any car!" I said with frustration. 

"Listen Pheobe, we could carry you to the hospital! It's the less we can do for you after all that has hapened..." Mike said and after thinking it well, we all agreed. It was difficult to be with Mike and Ursula, but they just wanted to help us right now. 

After a while we arrived at the car and Joey helped me to get in. Ursula began to drive. "We will be there in five minutes!" She said. There was a lot of tension in the air. Joey looked at me with happiness, but even in his eyes, I could feel uncomfortness. "Since when are you living at Mike's?" I asked, breaking the silence. "Thursday." She said. She had always been rude to me and I hated that. Suddenly she started to cry and Mike clapped at her back. "What's going on?" I asked. There was a major silent and after a while Ursula began to explain: "You have always been such a good sister to me. And I've always paid it off by treating you bad. I have always been very unjust to you, but the chicken thing was the last straw. I know you hate me, you both do, and I deserve it, but we both are so sorry for everything...." "Phoebe, I'm sorry for trying to destroy your relationship with Joey. I've been so mean to you.... But overall I'm thankful with you for having divorced me. I wouldn't have met Ursula if it weren't for you." I chuckled a little and Ursula continued: "We don't expect you to forgive us, but we're going to do everything to be the sister and friends we should have been since the beginning." 

I started to cry and Joey hugged me. "Honey, what do you think?" I asked him. He nodded with his head, wanting to forgive them. "Mike, Ursula, we really want to forgive you, and we will, if you promise us to never do those type of things again." I said. "We promise it Phoebe! We will never be mean to you again." Ursula answered for both of them. "Well, in that case...we forgive you." I said.

We arrived at the hospital and Joey and I went to the doctor's office. "Hi!" He said. "Hello!" We answered. "What's the matter?" He asked. "We've come here because we think that I'm carrying more than one kid." I answered. He told me to lay down in a stretcher and put a cream in my belly. I started to laugh because it was really cold and the doctor started to look at the babys. "I can see one kid..." He said. I looked at Joey with a sad look, but then the doctor continued:  "There I see another head.... and wow, there's another child in there!" I smiled with excitement and Joey kissed my hand. "Looks like you're gonna have triplets!" He stated. 

We went to the waiting room and told the news to Ursula and Mike, who surprisingly, were really happy. "Wow, we are going to be uncles of triplets!" Mike said to Ursula and they kissed. Joey hugged me and we kissed too. It was fantastic to have a good relationship with them and we slowly started to appreciate them and even love them.
