Chapter 2
Monica was sound asleep next to Chandler's hospital bed when she heard a faint noise. She slowly sat up and saw movement on the bed.
"Chandler," she went to him. "Are you awake?"
"Hey," he smiled at her. "What happened?"
"You fainted. We had to call for an ambulance."
"Am I ok?"
"They think you have walking pneumonia." she kissed his forehead. "I'm going to get the doctor. And call the others."
Everyone was gathered at Joey's place for breakfast, waiting on any news on Chandler. The phone rang and Rachel picked it up.
"Hello? Monica, any change? He is? Oh, thank god. Yes. We're all on our way." she hung up and smiled.
"Chandler's awake?" Joey asked.
"Yes. About an hour ago."
"Well, let's get down there." they all rushed out and got a cab to take them to the hospital.
They reached the hospital and went into Chandler's room. He was sitting up in bed and had a pained look on his face as Monica stood on one side of him and a nurse on the other side as she took some blood.
"Ok. That should be enough." the nurse walked out with the vial of blood.
"You know what they say. Fifth time's the charm." Chandler looked at Monica.
"They had a hard time finding your vein." she told him. "Hey. Everyone's here."
"It's so good to see you awake." Ross told him.
"Did I scare you guys?"
"A little bit." Rachel went to him and gave him a hug.
"How are you feeling?" Phoebe asked.
"I'm better." he smiled at them.
"Why were they taking a blood sample?"
"They need to run a couple more tests." Monica told them. "A couple of his tests were abnormal when they came back."
"That doesn't sound good." Ross said.
"The doctor said it's most likely nothing. It was a little hectic when he was brought in."
"Joe?" Chandler saw him still standing in the doorway. "Are you ok?"
"I think you really scared him yesterday." Rachel told him. "He's been very quiet since we found you passed out on the floor."
"Joe, I'm fine."
"Yeah?" he slowly walked to the bed.
"Yeah."
"Breakfast." an orderly came in. "The doctor wants you to eat as much as you can before you go for your tests."
"It looks so tasty." Chandler mumbled as the orderly left.
"We'll bring you some outside food for lunch." Joey told him. "Maybe a burger or something."
"Just try to eat something." Monica told him.
An hour later, the doctor came in followed by a nurse with a wheelchair.
"We're ready to start the tests, Mr. Bing."
"I can go with him, right?" Monica asked.
"Absolutely." the doctor assured her. "Just don't interfere with his tests."
Chandler slowly climbed off the bed and sat in the wheelchair. The nurse started to push him out of the room as Monica followed them.
A few hours later, Rachel started wandering the halls with Phoebe. They found Monica outside a room in the radiology department and went to her.
"Mon," Rachel went to her. "How's it going?"
"Hopefully, this is his last test." she sighed.
"How many has he had?"
"I lost count. He's had to get chest x-rays, an MRI, and others."
"What test are they doing now?" Phoebe asked.
"A CT scan." they watched as Chandler was moved inside the machine. "I hope he's ok. He can get really claustrophobic at times."
A few moments later, Chandler was helped back onto the gurney and was pushed out.
"How was it?" Monica asked Chandler.
"Horrible." he said softly. "I'm a little nauseous."
"Was that his last test?" Monica looked at the orderly.
"Yes. We should have the results by morning."
"You can rest now, honey." Monica told Chandler as they got back to his room.
Monica helped him back onto the bed and covered him as he fell asleep.
"Just rest. I'll come back in a couple hours."
"Ok." he said softly as she walked out to Rachel and Phoebe.
"All those tests wore him out." she told them. "He'll probably sleep for awhile. Let's go find Joey and Ross.
"Of course." they walked down the hall to find them.
