"Adam, Ben calls you 'uncle' too," Ross said, clearly annoyed. "You can't play favorites like that."
"No way, no way," Adam said, waving it off with a grin.
Hmm… Everyone who calls him "uncle" gets the sa treatnt. But Chandler and Monica's son? That little guy calls him godfather. So, yeah, don't bla him for showing a little bias there! 😏
"How's that playing favorites?" Monica chid in, catching on quick. She rubbed her belly with a smug smile. "My son's gonna be calling him Adam Bing! That's a whole different level, right?"
"…" Ross had no coback for that.
Adam, anwhile, twitched his lips. Here it cos. The mont I've been dreading.
That damn naming tradition was seriously getting under his skin.
Yep, you heard it right! Chandler and Monica's kid—a boy—was nad Adam Bing the second they confird the gender. No hesitation from his proud parents.
As for the original tiline's adopted twins, Jack and Erica? Well, Chandler and Monica didn't need to adopt this ti around, so they never t that ditzy pregnant girl nad Erica. No need to thank her by naming a daughter after her. And Jack—nad after Monica's dad—was now relegated to a middle na. So, the full na? Adam Jack Bing!
In a lot of Arican shows, parents usually don't want to know the baby's gender ahead of ti. It's partly to show they're cool with either a boy or a girl, and partly to keep the surprise (gotta love a good cliffhanger). But there are always exceptions.
Take The Big Bang Theory—Rajesh, the overly eager third wheel, couldn't help himself when Bernadette was pregnant. He snuck into the doctor's office, peeked at her ultrasound results, and "casually" checked the gender. When the actual parents found out, they lost it. The idea that they didn't know but Rajesh did? Total buzzkill—no surprise left.
With Chandler and Monica's kid, though, Adam was there for every ultrasound, assisting Dr. Montgory. There was no hiding the gender from him. And once Monica and Chandler realized Adam knew, they figured there was no point in playing the "let's not ask" ga. Plus, they genuinely didn't care if it was a boy or a girl. This baby, tied to them by blood, was a hard-won miracle—like a gift from above. Gender? Who cares!
Besides, they figured if they had one, they could always have another. Monica was dead-set on "driving dangerously" while she was still young—popping out as many kids as she could. Even though Chandler was already swamped with work and taking care of her during the pregnancy, she still made him get up early to exercise. No good stamina, no speed, no "danger"—and that just wouldn't do! 😂
With little Adam growing in her belly, Monica had bumped Chandler down to second place in her heart. Ross's son Ben? He didn't even stand a chance. Sure, Aunt Monica adored her nephew Ben, but don't ask her to pick between him and little Adam. That's a no-contest!

Adam brought Monica and the crew over, then started Monica's ultrasound checkup.
"The little guy's super healthy," Adam said with a smile. "But, Monica, you've gotta watch your diet. Stick to the plan we made—balanced nutrition, nothing overboard. If he gets too big, natural delivery could get risky."
"That's what I'm worried about," Chandler said, wrapping an arm around Monica's side. "Her appetite's through the roof lately, and it's tough to rein in. Adam, you know her track record."
"We've got to keep it under control," Adam insisted. "Monica, I get it—this is hard for you. But it's all for your safety and the baby's. You've gotta hold back."
"I'll try!" Monica said, her face twisting like she was already dreading the struggle.
She'd been super overweight before, and once she started eating, that greedy snake inside her took over—she couldn't stop. Not good for her or the baby.
"Moms are tough as nails. I know you've got this," Adam said encouragingly, shooting Chandler a sneaky wink. Keep an eye on her, man. If she slips, let know ASAP—we'll handle it.
Chandler gave a subtle nod. ssage received.
"You guys hang here for a sec. I'm gonna grab Dr. Montgory," Adam said with a grin. "You know —just an intern. Better let the top doc double-check."
Monica and Chandler chuckled. They trusted Adam completely—both their bond and his skills. They knew he cared about this baby as much as they did. Even though he was more than capable, he always insisted on getting Dr. Montgory's confirmation after his assessnts. Double insurance—classic Adam! 😊
As Adam headed off to find Dr. Montgory, he spotted her from a distance, being pulled aside by a tall, elegant woman. He paused, figuring he'd wait till they were done. His sharper-than-average hearing picked up their not-so-hushed conversation.
"Addison, co back. You and Derek are the ones who belong together," the woman said.
"Nancy, you know that's not possible anymore," Dr. Montgory replied.
"Co on! Sure, you cheated on Derek, but it was with Mark. What'd you expect from him? Who hasn't had a fling with Mark? It's no big deal—it's practically a rite of passage."
"Nancy, don't you dare say that to Derek. He'd blow a gasket and disown you as his sister."
"…"
Adam's lips twitched as he overheard this. He silently mourned for Dr. Shepherd for a solid three seconds. This sister of his, Nancy, was dropping bombs left and right! If he rembered right, Dr. Shepherd had four sisters and was the only boy in the family. That jogged a mory—Owen Lee, a guy from high school. Owen's first clash with a football player ca when the guy's girlfriend dumped him after getting cozy with Owen, citing "it's not working, no sparks." Before the jock could even process it, his own sister clued him in with the brutal truth. Ouch.
Clearly, this Mark Sloan was cut from the sa cloth as Owen Lee—a total player, leaving no one untouched. Adam couldn't help but wonder if Dr. Shepherd regretted not punching Mark harder that one ti. Knowing this, it made sense why Mark could sleep with his best friend's wife and still have the gall to say, "Hey, you've vented, now forgive —we're family!" Four sisters, all tangled up with Mark? That made him Dr. Shepherd's quadruple brother-in-law-by-convenience. In Mark's mind, they were inseparable family. Flawless logic, right? 😂
