and review. I would appreciate constructive criticism if you recommend any
tips.

Chandler and Monica have never met. Chandler is a doctor. Monica is a chef. She is 9 months pregnant. She was dating a guy named Jake but she broke up with him. After the breakup, she found out she was pregnant. Monica and Ross are still siblings and he is dating Rachel. Phoebe and Joey are friends but don't know any of the others.
Chandler Bing sat on the subway thinking over how bad his life was. Sure, he had a very successful job as a pediatrician but he had no close friends, no girlfriend and no close family. His mother was traveling over the world with her book-signings and his father was starring in his gay-burlesque show in Vegas. He listened to the conductor announce the next stop. His stop was four more stops at 45th and Broadway. He glanced around the train observing the other people and noticed he was sitting next to a woman, maybe seven or eight months pregnant with raven black, wavy hair pulled back into a ponytail. As she looked up he caught her bright blue eyes, smiled and saw she was extremely beautiful. She smiled back and then looked back down at her lap.
All of a sudden the train came to a sudden stop jerking the two in their seats.
"Ugh. I hate trains."
"Ditto. Name's Chandler Bing." What was he doing? She was pregnant, probably married or engaged or has a boyfriend.
"Monica Geller."
"Aw man, I'm gonna be late for work."
"What do you do?"
"I'm a pediatrician. Love to work with kids. You?"
"I'm a chef at a local restaurant."
"Which one?"
"Allesandros."
"Never been there. I hope you don't mind me asking, but how far along are you?" he asked glancing toward her stomach. "Oh, I'm due in two weeks. However the father won't be there," she replied with a sad tone in her voice and looked into to his piercing blue eyes. She thought it was strange sharing all this information with a stranger but she felt a connection with him.
"How come? Sorry."
"That's ok. Well, It's my ex-boyfriend and he doesn't even know about his kid so what's the point in telling him if I didn't love him anyway."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. My brother and his girlfriend have been very supportive."
The conductor came on the loud speaker and stated, "I'm sorry folks. We're having electrical difficulties and we should be back up and running very soon we hope."
"Oh no," Monica said with a scared voice.
"You're telling me," he replied.
"No. I think I just had a contraction."
"What?"
"Yeah."
"Ok. Stay calm and just breathe," he rubbed her arm and then stood on his seat announcing to the rest of the train, "Everybody, can you please clear some place down at this end of the train. We have a woman n labor and we need to give her space. Thanks."
The people in their end of the train moved to other seats and Chandler laid out his jacket, sweatshirt and Monica's jacket on the ground. He gently let Monica sit down and coached her through a contraction.
"Excuse me," said a blonde-haired woman with an Italian guy, "but can we help at all."
"Sure. What's your name?"
"Phoebe and this is my friend Joey."
"Ok. Joey can you go and see if anyone has a pocket knife or something like that and Phoebe can you just sit here by Monica's head and help her through the contractions."
"Sure. What's your name?"
"Chandler. Thanks a lot."
After an hour Monica's contractions were coming about two minutes apart and getting stronger. Her water had broken as well. She was at about 7 or 8 centimeters. Unfortunately, the train had more damages than the conductor thought and they might me stuck for another hour or two. People were getting restless and impatient. The conductor had been notified but saw that Chandler had everything under control and let him do his work and tried to fix the train.
"How you feeling Mon?"
"Tired. It really hurts."
"I know that it does. But I don't think it will be long."
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?"
"Well, I'm pretty sure and I know that I know more than other people."
"Ok. Ow another contraction."
"Ok. Just breathe." As soon as the contraction finished, Chandler checked her and she had progressed to 9 centimeters. "Mon, you're almost there. Just another hour, I think maybe less."
After a half-hour, Chandler saw that Monica was ready to push. "Mon, you're gonna have to push ok."
"Chandler, I'm scared. What if something happens to my baby?"
"Nothing will happen. You're going to have to trust me. Ok?"
"I trust you."
"Phoebe and Joey, can you stand on either side and help holding her legs back?"
"Yeah. They kneeled down by her head and did what Chandler said.
"Ok Mon. Push." She began to push and then Chandler stopped her. "Wait a minute Mon." He didn't have any suction thing so he had to get the blood out of the baby's mouth with his finger. "We have a head. Continue pushing. Ok shoulders, stomach, legs and it's a girl." He placed the baby on Monica's chest and began to wipe her down with his shirt that he had taken off. After she was warmed up she yelled out her first cries. Chandler did his best to cut the umbilical cord and wrapped her up in his shirt.
"Monica. She's beautiful," Joey said.
"I know she is. Thank you so much Chandler."
"Your welcome." He looked exhausted but had a big grin on his face. "Do we have a name for her?"
"Yes. Phoebe, Joey, and Chandler, say hello to Molly Chandler Geller."
"You named her after me?"
"Yes. You delivered her. I don't know what I would have done without you."
"Well."
The train then started up again and at the next stop it was stalled again. But only so Monica could be loaded onto a stretcher and the paramedics could tend to make sure Molly was ok. Chandler went with her calling work explaining his situation along the way. He also told Phoebe and Joey which hospital they would be going to. They took away Monica and Chandler started to fill in the information he could and gave to information he knew to the doctors. He walked to her room to ask her to fill in the rest of the forms but when he entered he saw she was asleep. He kissed her on the forehead, left the papers next to her bed and left shutting the door quietly behind him. Maybe life isn't so bad after all he thought while leaving the hospital.
To Be Continued. Please review. I should have the next chapter up soon.
