Sweet Nothing In My Ear

Memories

Monica and Chandler came back from the Doctor's and went over to Joey and Chandler's to get Alex.

Monica walked in and looked around. The place was trashed; which was usually always the state Monica came to when Joey watched Alex, but she couldn't find Alex "Where's Alex?" She asked Phoebe and Joey.

They turned towards Monica by the door with Chandler behind her. They looked at each other than Monica. "That's a good question..."

Monica's eyes got wide and she walked over to them "You don't know where he is?" She asked worried

"Well we were playing hide'n'seek and well...we just haven't found him yet." Joey said looking around

"Guy's he's deaf. You can't play these kind of games with him." Monica said walking around and looking under tables and behind the couch.

"Why not?" Joey asked

"Because what if you never find him and what if the fire alarm goes off or some big guy comes in and yells with a gun in hand. He won't know because he's hiding." Monica said

"Yeah we didn't think about that..." Phoebe said

Everyone started looking for him "Is he even in the apartment?" Chandler asked

"Yeah...I think so, maybe." Joey said

Monica looked at him "You're not even sure!" Monica said getting angry.

"Mon calm down. We'll find him." Chandler assured her, rubbing her back.

Phoebe leaned towards Chandler "Don't worry, she always gets like this when it comes to Alex." She told him

Monica glarred at her "I do not." She defended herself

Joey chuckled causing everyone to look towards him.

"What?"

"You are always like this." Joey said

Monica put her hands on her hips "Name two other times I've been this worried." Monica said

"Okay." Both Phoebe and Joey said

"The time we took Alex to school and were stopped by a train. We were late. You got worried that he couldn't get in because the doors lock once the bell rings." Phoebe said

"They do! How did you get in?" Monica said knowing the answer but wanting Chandler to hear.

"Joey climbed through the window of his classroom." Phoebe said with no problem.

Chandler's eyes got wide almost not believing it.

"Then there was the time when we went to the store together. We were just getting some snacks while you got the milk and when you came to the alise we were in you freaked out because you couldn't find us..."

"Well what did I take, two minutes? You guys left. I found you by the magazines at the check out twenty minutes later." Monica said

"Well...oh!" Phoebe looked at Joey "And that time when Joey used him to pick up girls with in the park. They lost track of time and..."

"Okay! I said two." Monica sighed "Can we just find my son."

They nodded "Joey and I will check around the building. You guys stay here." Phoebe said and left with Joey.

Monica and Chandler were looking around the apartment when Chandler came up with an idea "Hey, you said he's scared of the dark right?"

Monica nodded "Yeah."

"Well why don't we just turn off the lights and see if he comes out?" He suggested "Then we will know if he's in here or not."

Monica looked at him and smiled "Great idea."
