All the gang (except Phoebe) including this time the proud parents : Frank and Alice, are sitting at the waiting -room of the hospital in where Phoebe itīs giving birth.  We can see Rachel and Monica sitting on a sofa, Rachel is reading a VOGUE magazine, and Monica itīs just relaxing (almost falling asleep) Ross itīs on the opposite sofa, between Franck and Alice, and Chandler itīs intrigued for what Joey is doing. Joey itīs offscene

Franck: I actually canīt believe it!! Iīm gonna be a dad!!!

Franck: Well at least  you wonīt suffer the pain!  Right??

Alice:  (in a sad way) I guess……..

(Ross that itīs between them, starts feeling a little bit unconfortable)

Rachel : Oh my god! Monica, look at this dress, its gorgeous!! Monica? Mon?

Rachel:  Nevermind

Chandler: Hey Joe! What the……(we can hear a crash! Bang! Bum! From the place where the vending machines are)

SCENE II
Still at the hospital, Frank and Alice are getting a little bit desperated. Monica is still asleep, and Ross is starting to. Joey is sitting near Chandler who its still laughing at Joe that is all wet . Rachel leaves the magazine at the table and starts to sing to herself a song , then she starts playing with her hair (still singing)  until she realizes that itīs starting to get bored.

Rachel: Oh, cīmon guys! Cheer up!, we are here because we are supposed to be happy. Not sleeping!!

Chandler: (Turning to Joe) Iīm HAPPY!!!  (laughing)(thumbs up to Joe)

Joey: Mhhmm!! Sure you are!

(Ross who is half asleep, and half not, kind of hears Rachel screaming, so he quickly incorpores himself and repeats sleepily)

Ross: Hospital! Ok we are still at the hospital!

Rachel: What!

Ross: (still very sleepy and barely opening his eyes) What??

Rachel: Ugh!! Forget it
Alice: Why are the doctors delaying so much. Maybe somethingīs wrong! Or maybe there were more than 3 babies!, maybe 5. Oh no! What are we going to do with so many kids! (starts shaking Ross desperately, who is sitting behind her)

Ross: Wha… What??

Frank: Relax honey!! (releasing her from Rossīs shoulders) Everything itīs gonna be fine. OK?

Alice: Are you sure? Do you promise?

Frank: Yes I do, Itīs just normal baby-delivery stuff.   I guess..

Rachel: You know what, thatīs it!! Iīm going to find out whatīs going on. Be right back. (leaves)

Monica: (In her dreams) No Chandler, donīt go, stay here with me!! I need you!!

Chandler: (Opening his eyes in shock)

Joey: What is she talking about?

Chandler: I dunno, maybe she is wondering something about me.

Joey: So, go ahead and figure it out!!
(Chandler stands up and goes towards Monica, who itīs still speaking nonsense)

Chandler: (trying to wake her up) Hey Monica!, Monica. What the hell are you talking about?       (of course he knows)

(Monica, awakened, suddenly opens her eyes and cleans the rest of the drool she had on her cheek)

 Monica. Where are we??

Joey: We are expecting the storck to arrive!!!
(Chandler turns to Joey with a you-are-so-stupid look)

Monica: The WHAT?

Joey: You know, the storck!!  (starts to flutter like a bird)

Chandler: Clueless! I give up! End of the game!

Monica: Oh! Now I remember, we are at the hospital where Phoebe itīs going to have her babies!

Joey: right!

Alice: Actually, they are OUR babies

Frank: We both made those babies, but we just borrowed them to Phoebe for a while!

Chandler: And one itīs going to have MY name!  JA! (proudly) (annoying Joey of course)

Joey: Iīve been over it! OK (sobbing*) that doesnīt affects me anymore.

Chandler: Yes I can see it.

Monica: Wheres Rach?

Chandler. She went to see if there were any news.

Monica: And…..

Chandler: And….. I suppose they arenīt any.

Frank. Calm down! There will be soon.

Alice: I already can imagine them! So tiny, and cute and so defensless. I canīt hardly wait to see them!

Frank: (excited) You know what babe? I love you so much.
They  both get trough Ross (who itīs in the middle of them and who itīs still asleep) and start kissing passionately (they donīt care that Ross itīs in the middle)

Joey: Hey you guys….. (starting to figure out whats going on with Frank and Alice)  COOL!!!

(both Monica and Chandler have a Iīd-better-donīt-look look on their faces, and just ignore the fact of the kiss with Ross in the middle)

Ross: ( getting awakened by the crunched by the hugs and kisses)

Ross: Wha…. wha….. whatīs…………..     Oh my god!!!  I donīt want to participate on this!!!     HELP!!!
(getting apart from them and rushing to stand up)

Ross: Enough!!

Joey: Hey, you are ruining the show!!! Get off the way. (Ross then stares at him with a mad look)   Ohhhhkeeeyy I see

Frank and Alice donīt care, and they start kissing again.

Ross: Whatīs going on? is Phoebe done yet?

Monica: Done yet? Ross, sheīs not a cow ok? Sheīs going to have the pain of her life and 3 huge babies!!!

Ross: Sorry.

Joey: About Phoebe looking like a cow, well I do think she……. (Monica stares at him) Ok I get it.

Ross: And wheres Rach??

Chandler: Oh, she just got desperated and went to see if there were any news.

Ross: And…..

Joey: Well it could be that…..
Chandler: Joe

Chandler: You know, our things. You were calling: “Chandler, donīt leave me, stay here, Chandler!!”  Where you dreaming or something?

Monica: I suppose, but I donīt remember.

Chandler: Iīm glad you were asleep, cause this way I can deny everything, although nobody suspected. I guess.

Monica: Listen Chandler, Iīve been thinking about us.

Chandler: And….

Monica: I think itīs better if we continue just as friends.

Chandler: Mon, donīt tell me that.

Monica: īCause, you know I now know the “both” sides of you.
