That Worked Too?

Adam's apartment.

"Oh, come on!"

Faced with Monica's soft sigh, the once high-spirited Chandler inexplicably felt his legs go weak again, and cried out in utter grievance.

"What's wrong?"

Monica said innocently, "I wasn't talking about you. I was just really envious of Lily almost getting pregnant."

Stop pretending.

Adam couldn't help but point it out. "It's as if you've never experienced this feeling before? Do you need me to help you remember?"

"I don't!"

Monica retorted.

"8:12:35 PM on July 23, 1998."

Adam directly retrieved the memories from his mind, down to the second, giving Monica no chance to deny it. "Back then, we were all talking about Rachel's baby."

While Chandler was in the bathroom, you suddenly had a brilliant idea and asked us if we wanted to see something funny, saying you wanted to show us how you scared Chandler.

Then.

When Chandler comes out of the bathroom, you go up to him and talk to him in a serious tone.

"I wonder if it's because Rachel is pregnant, but you feel ready to have a baby with him."

"Hahaha! I remember that."

Phoebe laughed loudly, "Chandler only said 'ok' and it scared Monica so much that her voice cracked."

"Not just one word!"

Monica covered her face, but still couldn't help but retort, "He said a whole series of things, that he'd been thinking about it a lot, and that he felt we were ready—and that's not just a word!"

"It will not affect the outcome."

Adam joked, "You immediately stood up and stepped back, adopting a defensive stance, looking completely incredulous, and waved to Chandler to stop talking and calm down."

"You even asked me if I was joking."

When Chandler saw Adam standing up for him, he couldn't help but complain, "You even asked me, 'Do you think we're ready to get pregnant right now?!' He emphasized the word 'right now,' dragging out his words, spreading his hands, looking like he'd seen a ghost."

"Hehe."

Adam laughed and said, "You originally wanted to scare Chandler so much that his voice rose eight octaves, but you didn't expect to be scared like that yourself. At that moment, your panic was probably not much different from Lily's suspected 15-pound pregnancy, right?"

"That's different."

Monica was incredibly resilient and still wanted to argue. "Back then, we didn't know we both had health problems and that it would be difficult for us to have children. We had just gotten married and didn't want to have children anytime soon."

Besides, these are not the same thing at all. I meant I wanted to experience the panic of pregnancy, the kind of panic you feel when Forbidden Fruit but are powerless to bear the consequences...

"Oh~"

Adam said in a high-pitched voice, "I see. What you really envy is the thrill of others Forbidden Fruit in high school, right?"

"Right!"

Monica went to great lengths to avoid admitting that she had complained about Chandler, frankly admitting some of the unspeakable thoughts she had as a 'big girl' back then.

"Actually, you don't need to envy others."

Adam said in a serious tone, "When you and Rachel went to Columbia University, didn't you experience the thrill of actually Forbidden Fruit?"

"Hahaha!"

Phoebe laughed until her stomach hurt, "Ross..."

"Shut up!"

Monica immediately covered Phoebe's mouth with her hand, then glared fiercely at Adam.

"Alright, enough joking around."

Adam wisely ended the conversation. "Scientific research has shown that most men gain weight rapidly after marriage, but look at Chandler, he not only didn't gain weight, he actually lost a lot of weight."

And my legs often feel weak.

Monica, didn't you really see how hard Chandler was working?

"I didn't say he wasn't working hard..."

Monica said dejectedly, "I didn't blame him, I just blamed myself... Look at Emma, what a beautiful child she has, I really want to have one with Chandler too..."

Speaking of which...

Monica couldn't help but cover her face and cry.

"Monica ~"

Chandler immediately got up, walked to her side, and hugged her.

Monica.

Juno glanced at Adam and reassured him, "I've heard Adam say that you're actually just having difficulties, not infertility. Isn't this good now?"

No burdens or protection are needed; you can freely enjoy the happiness of married life.

Who knows, one day, even greater happiness will come knocking...

"Real?"

Monica looked at Juno with teary eyes.

"Real."

Juno nodded emphatically.

"Thank you... Ugh!"

Monica was about to thank him when she suddenly felt nauseous. She pushed Chandler away, covered her mouth, and rushed into the bathroom.

Vomit!

A sound of retching came from the bathroom.

"No way?"

Adam stared at Juno in disbelief. "This is possible?"

Juno was also quite surprised.

"What do you mean, 'no way'?"

Phoebe didn't react for a moment.

"Did Monica tell Juno she's pregnant?"

Adam was half complaining and half joking.

"Hehe."

Juno sensed the malice in Adam's words and said with a half-smile, "Maybe I really do have that ability. Is there anyone you want to get pregnant? I can help you."

As he spoke, he glanced at Paige.

"..."

Adam's lips twitched slightly.

"Pregnant?!"

Chandler and Phoebe, who were standing at the bathroom door, called out at the same time.

"Pregnant?!!!"

Monica, who had just finished vomiting in the bathroom and was about to come out after washing up, heard this and shouted it out at a volume eighty times louder.

"Adam, what did you say?"

Monica pushed Chandler aside and rushed to Adam, looking at Adam expectantly. "You mean I'm pregnant?"

"Possible."

Adam quickly lowered Monica's expectations, reminding her, "Nausea and vomiting are just one of the symptoms of pregnancy; a pregnancy test is also necessary..."

At this point, he added, "Sometimes pregnancy test results aren't 100% accurate; you need to go to the hospital for Ultrasound to confirm."

Snap!

Monica didn't bother to listen anymore, grabbed her bag, and rushed back into the bathroom.

"Forehead."

Chandler smiled sheepishly at everyone, "Ever since Adam made us do a physical exam and found out about our fertility problems, she's really wanted to have a child... so much so that she always carries pregnancy tests with her. She always keeps five in her bag..."

There was something else he didn't say.

That is, Monica has used more than a dozen pregnancy tests in the past few months.

Emmm.

Although she has no symptoms, she will immediately take a pregnancy test when she feels the urge.

Chandler told her this several times.

But Monica, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, simply wouldn't listen.

Chandler later realized it was a rare halftime break, so he stopped paying attention to her.

He doesn't lack the money for those pregnancy tests.

My back and my life are the most important things.

"..."

Everyone was stunned.

She really wants to have a baby!

Ten minutes later.

Two lines! I'm pregnant! I'm pregnant!!!

Monica's joyful cry pierced the sky.
