4 years later...

Monica has been very successful and owns her on upscale restaurant in Manhattan. Still, everynight she thinks about Chandler and how she wished she just made him stay. Things would be so different. Everything should've felt great. But right now, she goes outside to face her friends and laugh along as if she's moved on but the truth is she never did and she knows she never will. In the nights, she feels so empty. It felt like something was missing and she knew all along that it was him. Looking on the other side of the bed wishing that he was lying next to her. Wishing that she'd wake up with his voice but at the end of the day, she accepts the bitter realization that he might never come back. Everything she has now is still not right when Chandler's not around.

[Central Perk, getting coffee.]

"Aunt Phoeebee! Aunt Monicaaa!!!!" Emma, Rachel and Ross' four year old daughter starts running to her aunts and gives both of them hugs. 

Phoebe: I love being an aunt!

Monica: But i'm related by blood!

Phoebe: Ohh shut up.

Monica: So emma, how was your first day at the daycare?

Emma: Umm aunt monica umm look, i drew you, mommy and aunt phoebe! (she says in her cute little baby voice.)

Monica: Aaawww sweetie that's so pretty! With those flowers and swirly stuff all over it.

Emma: Yeah! It's umm girls day out! (She proudly says)

Phoebe: And it's all pink, yellow, blue and purple! Those are my favorites!

Monica picks her up and placed her on her lap. She hugs emma and tucks her lips in her mouth.

Monica: UURRGHHH!! SHE'S SO CUTE I WANNA BITE HER! HMM!!!!!!!!

Monica swings emma left to right.

Rachel: Hahaha! We we're at mom's place the other day and she goes, "Grandma, how old are you?" and mom says "Well I'm getting really old. I forget my age!" "I know! You can look at the back of your underwear! Mine says 3-5"

Monica:AWWWW! Can I keep her? 

Monica gave emma tons of kisses on the cheek and emma laughed.

Phoebe: Okay guys, me and Mike are going on a date.

Monica: Wooow. Looks like you two are going well.

Phoebe: Yeah we really are. Were getting serious you know. Anyways, i'm off. Emma, give your aunt phoebe a kiss. *points her cheek and kneels down*

Emma runs to her and gives her a kiss. Phoebe left and Emma sat on her seat.

Rachel: Since were in that subject, How's your dating life going Mon?

Monica: Dull. *takes a bite out of her cinnamon roll*

Rachel: It's four years!

Monica: I just- I dont feel like dating. Im really occupied with work.

Emma: I think aunt monica should have a boyfrieeend (She says it in a cheeky way with a cheeky smile)

Rachel: Emma it's not nice to intervene in adult's conversations. But see? Even emma says so!

(Joey and ross enters)

Rachel: Hey, do you guys think Monica should date again?

Joey: Honestly, you really should!

Ross: Yeah. I mean, Chandler has been calling me about this girl, Tracy. He started dating gain. If he's moved on you should too! Oh... Wait... I think they just broke up though. He told me last week.

Monica: Stop fussing about this. You know, My door is always open. I'm just not in for it right now.

Rachel: Always open? For who? Chandler? Please, The person already has a girlfriend!

Ross: EX girlfriend (he clears)

Monica: Ugh. Can we not talk about this anymore? I'm happy. I enjoy spending time with you guys.

Rachel: Whatever you say. You sure you don't want me to set you up with anyone?

Monica: i'm sure.

Chandler's POV

It's been four years huh? I wonder if she ever thinks of me. Right now I manage the company in L.A. I'm practically the boss now but if you'd ask me, i would still choose to be with her and just have my life the way it was before. I miss Central Perk. I miss the apartment. I miss the Chick and Duck, the foozeball table, I miss them. I miss everything. I miss her...

[In the car, driving]

I dialled my assistant's phone number and placed the phone between my head and shoulder so that I could drive.

"Hey uhh Ken, those reports that I asked you to do, put them on Marla's desk...........WHAT?! What do you mean you forgot to do it?! YOURE SO STUPID! Stop apologizing! That's supposed to be due today! You're fired!."

.

.

"Stupid ken." He said under his breath.

Ahh crap. This traffic! 

"MOOOVE YOU BASTARD!" *BEEP BEEEEEEEP*

My phone vibrates and I picked it up. The road is finally clear and i begin driving again. It was Ross.

Me: Ross, what's up?

Ross: Are you dating anyone right now?

Me: Uhh no. Why?

Ross:Where are you?

Me: I'm driving.

I look at my watch to see that I'm late for my meeting. I drove faster.

Ross: I need to tell you something. 

Me: Ok but hurry.

Ross: The other day you told me you still love her right? Can I tell her you said this?

Me: No! Don't!

Ross: B-

The phone accidentally slips out my hand. I look down for it. Where is that thing?

Suddenly, Ross heard a loud thump.

Ross:(on the other line) CHANDLER?! CHANDLER?! WHAT HAPPENED?! CHANDLER! ANSWER ME! *toooot* *toooot* *toooooot*

Everything slowly faded and went blank........

*Sounds of ambulance*
