Ok, so this story is mostly a Chandler/Monica story. It takes place when Erica goes into labor. It then follows on from there, all characters are involved! Hope you enjoy, it will get better and please review!
Chandler, Monica, Joey and Pheobe were all crowding around Monica, looking at the picture of her grandma who they had just found out was the owner of the handcuffs Chandler found when packing.
"Who's that dirty old lady", Joey asked, leaning over Monica's shoulder.
"Monica's grandmother", Chandler answered.
"Oh my god", was all Monica could let out, "Nana liked it rough", she said, all grossed out.
"Hi", Erica said as she walked into the apartment.
"Hey", they all replied, "Here have a seat", Joey said, pulling out a chair.
"So how was your night", Pheobe asked her, while everyone was taking a seat.
"Oh it was okay", she replied, "I went to a movie with my cousin then out for dinner. We went to this place that had", she stopped talking as the pain passed through her body, "Oooo", she breathed out, feeling her stomach, "ow", she said again before the pain had completely stopped, "Anyway they had these really amazing cheeseburgers", she finished. Everyone was looking at her shocked, she was acting as if nothing had just happened, even Joey was aware of what was going on.
"Huh, ah Erica are you okay", Monica asked confused.
"Yeah", she replied, "You know maybe I ate too much, I keep getting these stomach aches. They come and go like every few minutes", she announced, without a clue of what was happening. Monica and Pheobe however did, "Oh my god", Monica said, looking at Pheobe, who was almost in tears of joy.
"Relax", Chandler said, "We'll just get her some antacids", also not having any idea.
"She doesn't have a stomache ache", Monica said, panicked, "She's in labor".
"Oh my god", Chandler yelled.
"Yeah, you gotta get to the hospital", Pheobe announced, Chandler still frazzled.
"Ok, Chandler get the coats, Erica lets go! Pheobe and Joey, keep packing", Monica ordered.
"Oh my god, where gonna have a baby", she whispered to herself, helping Erica get up, "We're gonna have a baby", she said again this time more loud and excited. Then it hit her, "Oh my god, we're gonna have a baby", she said, almost passing out. "Oh god, I gotta, I gotta sit down", she said, falling back onto the chair. Chandler came back with the coats, "Honey its going to be okay".
"You can do this just breathe", Erica said.
"Okay, okay", Monica said, her breathing coming back to normal, "Okay I feel a little better".
"Awwwwww", Erica said, holding tightly onto the bench as another contraction came, "Are you sure", she asked Monica.
"Yes I'm sure", Monica announced, standing up, realising that she needed to be strong for Erica's sake, "Oh honey, lets go".
"Okay", Erica responded, in pain.
"Ok bye everyone", Chandler said, grabbing the coats, "We're having a baby", he said excited.
"Good luck", Pheobe and Joey both said as they left.
"Chandler, wait wait wait", Joey stopped him just before he got out the door.
"What", Chandler asked, wondering what the hell Joey could want at a time like this.
"If you get a second find out where she got that cheeseburger", he said. Chandler ignored him and ran out the door.
The drive to the hospital seemed to take forever, Monica was in the back of the car with Erica and Chandler was driving.
"Hurry up Chandler", Monica yelled at him, while Erica was having another contraction.
"I'm going as fast as I can", Chandler replied, "We're almost there".
"Almost there", Monica yelled back, "We haven't even gotten onto the highway yet".
"Honey relax okay, I'm going to get us there", Chandler said, trying to stop himself from jumping into the back seat and strangling his wife to death.
"Relax", she yelled, again, "Chandler there's a baby coming, don't tell me to relax".
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuucchh", Erica screamed out at another contraction. Stopping Chandler from what he was about to say back to Monica.
"Oh my god, are you okay", Monica asked, consoling Erica.
"Noooooooo, it really hurts", she screamed.
"Ok, now I'm going faster", Chandler said, starting to panic. He pushed his foot hard against the pedal and turned onto the highway speeding past the other cars.
"Are you okay", Monica asked, when Erica suddenly went quiet.
"No, something feels weird", she replied.
"Well isn't that how its supposed to feel when there's a human being inside you", Chandler asked.
"No, something feels different, it doesn't feel right", Erica announced, holding her stomach tightly, "I think something's wrong", she said, grabbing Chandler's attention, who turned around for a second.
"No sweetie your just scared, ok", Monica said, calming her down, "There's nothing wrong I promise you, just breathe ok, your gonna be fine", she said, looking over at Chandler hoping for some reassurance of her own because the truth be told, she didn't really know that Erica was going to be fine, she could only hope.
Eventually they arrived at the airport. Chandler stopped the car right out the front of the hospital in a non parking zone and didn't even bother to lock it, there was too many other things on his mind.
"Excuse", Chandler said when they got to the front desk, "I'm in labor and I'm about to have a baby".
"What", the lady said, startled.
"Yes, WHAT", Monica said looking at him confused.
"No I'm sorry, what I meant was Erica", he said pointing at her, "Erica is in labor and going to have a baby, that's, that's what I meant", Chandler said frazzled, he was really, really panicked right now.
"Ok" the nurse said, turning to Erica, "Come with me Erica and we'll get you into a room, I just need you two to wait here and fill out some paperwork".
"Umm wait", Monica said, stopping the nurse, "On the way here she was complaining about some unusual different pains, that's normal right or is", Monica asked, worried.
"I'm sure everything's fine but if it'll make you feel any better as soon as I get Erica into a room I'll run a few tests and make sure everything's running smoothly".
"That would be great", Monica responded, "Thankyou so much".
"No problem", the nurse said.
Monica turned around and Chandler was no longer standing behind her, he was sitting down in the waiting room his head buried in his hands. Monica went over and sat down next to him, taking his hand in her own.
"I'm sorry I was such a bitch in the car", she said.
"No its fine", Chandler said, sitting up, "You weren't a bitch".
"No I was", she admitted, "I really, really was", she said smiling, leaning over onto him
"Its ok", he said, wrapping his arms around her.
"I can't believe we're here", she said, a few minutes later, still wrapped in his arms.
"What do you mean", Chandler asked, rubbing up and down her shoulder.
"Today's finally come", she replied, looking up at him, "I mean soon we're gonna have a little baby", she said smiling.
"And you're only just realizing this now", Chandler joked, causing Monica to laugh.
"I'm gonna go get some coffee, do you want something", Monica asked, standing up.
"Yeah but I'll come with you", he replied, standing up.
"I hope the baby's ok", Monica said as they walked down the hall.
"Mon you heard the doctor ok, its normal and she doesn't seem to think anything's wrong", Chandler assured.
"Nurse Chandler, she was a nurse not a doctor so she's not exactly qualified and how would she know she isn't the one with the person inside her, she didn't feel what Erica felt".
"Honey don't do this ok don't freak yourself", Chandler said, "We'll just have to wait until we get the tests back, ok".
"Ok", Monica said, sadly.
"Come here", Chandler said chuckling, "Look at you, you're a mess".
"Gee thanks", Monica said, against him.
"Everything's going to be ok".
"You promise", Monica asked.
"I promise", Chandler responded, holding her tight, "Now we better get back the doctor might be ready to talk to us".
They got back to the waiting room and about 20 minutes later Erica's doctor came out.
"Mr and Mrs Bing", he called out.
"That's us", Monica called back, quickly jumping out of her seat.
"Hi I'm Dr Millowgen".
"Hi I'm Monica this is my husband Chandler", she said shaking his hand.
"Hi", Chandler said.
"So I heard that you were a bit concerned about the baby before", the doctor said, "So we ran a few tests".
"And", Chandler asked, the suspense killing him.
"And", the doctor said, "I have some relatively good news and some bad news for you".
"Oh", Monica said, now really concerned that something was wrong.
"Well what is it", Chandler asked.
"Would you like to step into my office", the doctor asked, pointing them into the direction.
"Take a seat", the doctor said as the entered, shutting the door behind him.
"Look Dr I hate to be rude but could you maybe hurry up and tell us the news I'm kinda dieing here", Monica announced.
"Of course, I'm sorry", Dr Millowgen replied, "Ok, well the bad news is", he started.
"No umm, good news first", Monica jumped in, "If that's ok".
"Well actually", The doctor said, "I think it would be easier with the bad news first".
"Oh", Monica said, "Ok then".
"Ok, well we ran some tests", the doctor tried again
"Yeah we already know this just get to the point", Chandler announced, loosing his patience.
"Well the pregnancy has reached some complications", the doctor announced, "This can happen sometimes during first pregnancies like in this case".
"Well, what kind of complications", Chandler asked.
"Well there could been a lot of reasons for this, the baby hasn't had enough fluids or it could be a uterine or immunological cause", the doctor told.
"A what", Chandler asked, confused, not understanding any of the terms just used.
"Look, basically, the baby is having trouble surviving in the womb and the womb is having trouble keeping the baby safe".
"So, so what happens now", Chandler asked.
"Well, we'll keep a close eye on them, make sure everything's going smoothly I mean there is a chance that everything will be fine".
"But I don't, I don't understand why this is happening I mean everything was alright last checkup, everything's been fine", Chandler announced.
"This can often happen for a first time pregnancy and I wont lie to you they can lead to miscarriage or a still birth, but", the doctor said, "We're not going to give up just yet I just thought you should know exactly what was going on".
There was silence for a moment.
"Would you like to know the good news now", the doctor asked.
Chandler nor Monica answered they just kinda gave him an expression to go ahead.
"Well when we looked over the tests and the ultrasound we found not just one heartbeat but two", the doctor announced, Chandler and Monica's heads both shot up in surprise.
"What", Chandler asked, shocked.
"Erica is pregnant with twins", the doctor announced.
"So now your telling us that we could lose two babies at once", Monica asked, almost in tears.
"This is so not GOOD news", Chandler announced, "Ok this is extra bad news".
"I'm sorry, but if you'll excuse me I have to get back work", Dr Millowgen said, "Your free to go and see Erica now, she's in room 202, I think she'd be happy to see you".
"Does she know", Monica asked.
"She's aware of what could happen yes", the doctor told, "And she knows about the other baby, I just think she needs to be around family at the moment".
Back at the apartment.
Joey and Pheobe were packing up the rest of the kitchen stuff.
"Can you believe that when Monica and Chandler get back their gonna have a little baby with them", Pheobe said.
"Not just baby, a baby boy", Joey announced, "Its gonna be a boy".
"No, it's a girl", Pheobe argued.
"How do you know", Joey asked, "They didn't tell you did they".
"No", Pheobe said, "I dreamt it".
"Pftt".
"Don't pft me", Pheobe said, "It's going to be a girl, you know I'm always right about these things".
"Wanna bet on it", Joey asked.
"How much are we talking".
"100 bucks", Joey announced.
"Joey you don't have that much money".
"50 bucks", he said.
"Your on", Pheobe said, shaking on it, "But you don't even have that much".
Back at the hospital.
Chandler got out his cell and was about to call the others. "What are you doing", Monica asked, still very upset.
"I'm calling the others", Chandler replied.
"What for", Monica asked.
"So they can be here", Chandler replied, "I don't want to be alone through this".
Monica was shocked that he would say something like that, alone, he wasn't alone she was right there. "So what am I", Monica asked hurt.
"Come on, I don't mean it like that, I just thought you'd want them here too for support and comfort".
"Well I don't", Monica said, "I've got you that's all the support and comfort I need, and besides I just, I couldn't deal with them here, I couldn't tell them not just yet".
"I understand", Chandler said, shutting his phone, "I wont call them".
"Thanks", Monica said, wiping a few tears from her eyes.
