Chapter 4: Decisions
Chandler sat in a chair beside Monica's bed holding her hand tightly in his watching her sleep. The hospital room was so quiet the only sounds that could be heard were the sounds of the machines being used to monitor Monica. Chandler couldn't believe this was happening. This morning his wife was pregnant and happy and now they had a tiny baby boy laying in an incubator in the NICU and his wife was still unconscious the doctor said the medication she was given made her sleep.
Monica started to stir "Ch…Chandler" she moaned softly her eyes slowly opening "Shh its okay sweetie I'm right here" he whispered squeezing her hand gently "The baby wh...where is he" she asked "Daniel's up in the NICU" he answered softly "Is he okay" she asked "He's small and needs help breathing but the doctor says he's strong just like his mommy" he smiled slightly "I...I want to see him" she started to get up wincing in pain when she did "You can see him in a little while honey but right now you need to rest you just had surgery" he reminded her as he gently laid her back down.
Her hand moved to her stomach her mind going back to right after Daniel's birth "Am I…Can I" she stopped tears filling her eyes "Well you bled out a lot the doctors were worried you'd bleed to death they kept telling me to make a decision I didn't know what to do" he started "Chandler" she whispered "Ju…Just tell me okay " she said "I told them to do the hysterectomy if it would save your life" he told her. She frowned a few tears slipping down her cheeks "Its okay baby don't cry" he whispered "They didn't do it" he smiled slightly, brushing a few tears from her cheeks
"Wh…What"
she asked looking at him. "They didn't have to do it they tied or
cut or did something to some blood vessels" he told her "Oh you
mean they tied the open blood vessels" she corrected him "Okay
you watch way too much ER" he teased kissing her forehead "Yeah
well who's the one who watches it with me and obviously doesn't
pay attention to the medical stuff" she teased "Medical stuff who
wants to pay attention to that when you have hot doctors like
Abby
running around the ER" he grinned "Oh ha ha" she rolled
her eyes "Oh please like you don't like Luka, Ray. Pratt and
that doctor played by John Stamos" he said "Well that's
different" she told him smiling slightly
A doctor walked in smiling when he saw the couple looking happy "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Bing I'm Dr. Albie I'm your son's pediatrician" he told them "How's our baby is he going to be okay" Monica asked "Well he's on a respirator to help him with his breathing, his immune system is weak and he is small but I can already tell he is going to be a little fighter " he replied "and he's ready to properly meet his mommy and daddy " he smiled
"Okay" Monica was eager to see her baby and tried to get up again but Chandler stopped her "Honey I told you, you have to be careful" he said "I want to see our baby" she whimpered "Here maybe this will help" Dr. Albie brought in a wheel chair. Chandler thanked him and helped her into it "Lets go see our boy" he smiled pushing her down the hall toward the NICU
