"Ashamed that I may be pregnant," Erica murmured, barely audible. Chandler felt nauseous as the room began to spin. Pregnant? How could she be having a baby when she was still a baby herself?

"Are-are you sure honey?" Chandler asked.

"Pretty sure. I'm almost two weeks late daddy…it doesn't look good," Erica answered lowering her head. Chandler sighed, not knowing where to go from there. His whole world was falling apart.

"Okay, well, I'll get the doctor to come in and check on you," Chandler said as he moved over to the bed to brush the hair out of Erica's fearful eyes. He was terrified to ask the next question, but knew he had to do it.

"Who-who's the father?" Chandler mumbled.

Erica picked her tear-stained head up and looked directly at the wall in front of her.

"Jason."

Chandler didn't say anything. He tried to stop the tears that started to fall from his tired eyes, but it was an unsuccessful attempt. He started to walk toward the door to begin his search for Dr. Smith when Erica stopped him.

"Dad, could you not tell Mom yet? She's been through so much already…I'm afraid this might kill her," Erica said in a shaky voice. Chandler turned around to look at her. She looked so small and weak in her bed. In that moment, she transformed back into the little five year old girl who was begging her daddy to sneak her one more cookie before bedtime. But Chandler realized that little girl would now be gone forever. She was being forced to grow up and take on the responsibility of a mother. His heart sank as he forced a smile.

"It's our secret princess," he whispered. He knew he shouldn't be keeping a secret like this from his wife, but he just couldn't say no to Erica. Chandler walked over and gently placed a kiss on his daughter's head before turning to leave. Once out in the hall, Chandler walked over to the nurse's station.

"May I help you?" the nurse asked politely. Yeah, you can take me and my family back in time about a month ago before any of this happened Chandler thought bitterly.

"Yeah, I'm looking for Dr. Smith," Chandler said.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Smith is in with a patient right now," the nurse replied.

"Oh…Okay, could you send him up to my daughter's room when he's finished? Room 426," Chandler asked.

"If it's something urgent, I can page the doctor on call sir," the nurse offered. Chandler thought about it for a minute. Erica would probably be more comfortable with Dr. Smith.

"No, it's not urgent. She can wait. Thank you though," Chandler responded. The nurse flashed him a smile then went back to her paper work. Chandler began to get mad. Yeah, everything is so simple for you. You don't have a pregnant daughter, an extremely sick wife, or a depressed son Chandler thought as he turned on his heel and began to walk down the hall. He figured he should cool off before going to see Monica again. He was walking aimlessly down the corridor when he heard a familiar voice. It gave him goose bumps and caused the hair on his arms to stick straight up. He stopped and put his ear up against the door to listen. It can't be he thought to himself. He reached a trembling hand down and grasped the doorknob. Just as he was about to open the door, Dr. Smith turned the corner. Chandler quickly jumped away from the door.

"Hello Mr. Bing. I was told you wanted me to check up on Erica. Is there something wrong with her?" Dr. Smith questioned.

"Yeah, she thinks she may be pregnant," Chandler answered trying to choke back a sob. No matter how many times he said it, that was one sentence that would never be easier to say.

Dr. Smith frowned in thought.

"Well, we gave her a pregnancy test when we first learned of her rape and it came back negative. I wouldn't worry about it. She's been through so much and stress can sometimes cause a woman to skip a period. However, we'll test her again just in case," Dr. Smith reassured him.

"Okay, thank you doctor," Chandler started but then remember to add, "Dr. Smith, Erica would like to keep the results confidential. So if you could not mention any of this to Monica…"

Dr. Smith smiled and nodded at him before heading towards Erica's room. Chandler looked suspiciously at the door where he had heard the familiar voice before continuing to Monica's room.

"No way! There is no way that you played cards with Elvis!" Jack exclaimed giggling. He was sitting on a chair next to his mother's bed. Monica was propped up on pillows. She was feeling better, but was still really sick.

"Believe what you want honey, but I'm telling you, that's what happened in Limbo Land," Monica smiled. This caused Jack to erupt in a fit of laughter again. Monica joined him and pretty soon, the pair of them had tears in their eyes from laughing so hard. It felt good to laugh with her son again, even if it was at nothing particularly funny. Just then she heard a quiet knock on the door.

"Come in," she managed to say in between fits of giggles. Chandler entered the room and sat down on the edge of Monica's bed and held her hand. He leaned down and gently kissed her on the lips. Jack bent his head down so he was level with his parents.

"Hello, sorry to interrupt, but this is your son speaking. It would be appreciated if you would never do that again in my presence," Jack stated. Chandler broke the kiss to ruffle his son's hair. Suddenly, the trio heard the door squeak open as Erica crept in.

"I heard laughing," Erica said with a small smile. Chandler got up and walked over to her.

"How were things with Dr. Smith?" he muttered loud enough for only Erica to hear.

"We won't know the results until later tonight. But for now, I just want to be a normal kid," Erica explained while looking at her mother and brother who had started up another conversation about Monica's adventures in Limbo Land. Chandler smiled.

"Then come join the family. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff your mother is saying," Chandler joked. Erica smiled and walked over to Monica's bed.

"Then I walked into the mirror and fell backwards," Monica said trying to explain her escapade at Limbo Land.

"Could you see us and what was happening to us?" Jack asked, worried that his mom might have seen him and his girlfriend Lindsey making out on his bed.

"No, we weren't allowed to spy on Earth in Limbo Land. In Heaven you're allowed to do that. But I wasn't allowed to come into contact in any way, shape, or form with Earth," Monica answered.

"Could you hear stuff on Earth?" Erica piped up. Monica smiled.

"Some stuff," she answered and winked at her daughter showing her that she had in fact heard the Faith Hill song. Erica smiled. The rest of the day went by in that manner. The Bing family sat in Monica's room talking about everything, and allowing themselves to be reconnected with each other after all the events they had been through. They didn't notice how late it was until a nurse walked in.

"Visiting hours are over. Fan out," she snapped. Chandler stood straight up and saluted the nurse.

"Sir! Yes Sir!" he chanted back at her. This caused a new fit of giggles to explode from the four of them. The nurse stormed out as Chandler leaned down to Monica.

"I'll take Jack home, but we'll be back here first thing tomorrow morning. I love you," Chandler said.

"I love you too. I'll be here waiting," Monica smiled then leaned up to kiss him. Jack, disgusted, turned to Erica.

"So, do we only become invisible when they kiss?" he asked her sarcastically. Chandler broke the kiss and walked over to Erica.

"I'll help you get settled in before we leave. Come on kiddo." In one swift motion, Chandler reached down to pick up Erica, just like he had done when she was little. When they arrived in Erica's room, Chandler gently placed her in her bed and tucked her in.

"Good night sweetie. I love you." Chandler said.

"Good night Daddy, I love you too," Erica replied. Just as Chandler stepped outside her room, Dr. Smith stopped him.

"Mr. Bing, I have your daughter's results. Is she awake?" Dr. Smith asked. Just then the loud speaker clicked on.

"Paging Dr. Smith to trauma room one. Dr. Smith to trauma room one," the nurse over the loud speaker said.

"Oh no," Dr. Smith sighed then continued, "Tell Erica that there was a mistake in the first test she took. She is indeed pregnant. If she has any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them later. Excuse me," Dr. Smith stated as he jogged down the hall towards the emergency room. Chandler stood rooted to the spot.

"What's up Dad?" Chandler was snapped out of his trance by Jack's voice.

"Jack, go wait in the car. I'll be right out," Chandler said.

"Dad, why do I always have to wait in the car? You should treat me like an adult and tell me what's really going on! I'm 16 for crying out loud!" Jack complained. Chandler looked down at Jack. He couldn't tell him what was really going on. He had to respect Erica's privacy.

"Well Jack, if you must know, I'm going into you mother's room to kiss her good-bye again. Actually, I'm going to kiss her a lot. If you really want to come…"

"I'll be in the car Dad!" Jack quickly explained and ran out towards the parking lot. Chandler rolled his eyes and walked into Erica's room. She looked so peaceful sleeping. He walked over to her bed and kissed her forehead, causing her to stir.

"Dad? I thought you left. Is everything okay?" she asked.

"Everything's fine sweetie. Dr. Smith told me the results of your pregnancy test," Chandler started. Erica opened her eyes wide.

"And…"

"And you're pregnant," Chandler finished. Erica's face fell as her wide eyes filled with tears.

"What do you want to do? Are you going to have the baby? If you do have the baby, do you want to put it up for adoption?" Chandler asked. Erica thought for a minute.

"I want to have the baby. And I want to keep it. I can't bear the thought of an abortion, and I don't think I'd be able to live with myself if I gave it up," she stated.

"Honey, I want you to know that your mother and I will be here to help you through everything," Chandler said comforting Erica.

"I know you will," Erica offered a small smile.

"Now that we know for sure, I really think you should tell you mother. She has a right to know that her daughter's pregnant," Chandler tried to reason.

"Yeah, okay," Erica quietly agreed. Chandler kissed her one last time on her forehead before leaving. Erica lay in bed and started thinking. She was going to have a baby. She was going to be a mother. As much as it scared her, the thought excited her. She knew she had to tell her Mom sooner or later. Erica crawled out of bed and wondered across the hall to Monica's room. She quietly opened the door and tip-toed in the room. Once inside, she closed the door and climbed into bed with Monica.

"Erica? What's wrong?" Monica yawned.

"Nothing. Couldn't sleep," Erica lied.

"Okay, you can lay here for a while until you get tired," Monica said groggily and rolled over.

"Actually, I kind of need to talk to you," Erica admitted. Monica rolled over again so she was facing her daughter. She could just make out her features in the moonlight.

"Okay, what's up?" Monica wondered.

"I wanted to ask you about babies," Erica started. Monica looked confused.

"Okay, what about babies?" Monica asked.

"Um, I'm sort of going to have one…"

"WHAT!" Monica sat bolt upright and turned on the light.

"Excuse me, it sounded like you just said you were going to have a baby," Monica panicked.

"Mom, calm down. Getting this worked up isn't healthy for you," Erica reminded her.

"Oh my God, my 16 year old daughter is going to have a baby," Monica muttered closing her eyes and putting her hand on her forehead.

"Mom, it's because I was raped. I wasn't sleeping around," Erica said defensively. Monica looked dumbfound.

"You were raped!" Monica shrieked. Erica looked thoughtful for a second

"Yeah, I guess I kind of forgot to tell you that too," she said sheepishly. Monica wanted so badly to just scream, but when she looked down at the lost and lonely little girl that lay beside her, she thought otherwise. Her tone softened as she wrapped her arms around Erica.

"Honey, I'm sorry," Monica said. She had no idea what to do, but somehow her maternal instincts to nurture kicked in. They sat in silence for a while. Then Monica spoke up.

"How do you feel about all of this," she asked. Erica stopped to think. No one had asked her how she felt about it yet.

"I feel okay," she answered. Then she smiled. "I'm actually kind of excited about it. I want to have this baby and I want to raise it."

Monica smiled back down at her daughter.

"Good for you. I'm so proud of you sweetie. And you know that your father and I will be there for you," Monica reassured her. Erica smiled and nestled closer to her mother. She was glad to have the support of her family.

"Does your father know?" Monica asked.

"Yeah, and he's actually okay with it. I haven't told Jack yet," Erica explained. Monica nodded. The two girls sat in silence for a while before Monica gasped and cupped a hand to her mouth.

"Erica, when were you raped?"

"When we were at the shack. Ja-Jason raped me," Erica murmured. She still wasn't ready to talk about it yet.

Monica didn't say anything as she reached up to turn off the light and lay back down in her bed. Erica lay down next to her and soon fell asleep. Monica stayed awake for a long time. It was close to sun rise before she quietly cried herself to sleep.

Chandler and Jack arrived at the hospital around noon the next day. They walked into Erica's room to find the bed empty. Chandler began to panic.

"I know I tucked her in last night. Where could she be!" Chandler rambled. Jack entered the room.

"Her and Mom are asleep in Mom's room," Jack explained. Chandler heaved a sigh of relief as he walked into his wife's room. And sure enough, there were the two of them. Jack crept up silently, ready to pounce. Just as he was about to jump on the sleeping pair, Chandler jumped up to stop him midair. Jack hit the floor with a very audible thud.

"Ow! Dad, what was that for!" Jack shouted brushing himself off. Chandler reached down to help his son up.

"Sorry Jack. But you need to be careful around your mom and Erica. Your mom is still pretty sick, and Erica…well, we just need to take good care of her," Chandler tried to explain without giving it away.

"Why? She's okay. The doctor said so," Jack said puzzled.

"It's because I'm pregnant," Erica stated matter-of-factly. The crash had woken up Monica and Erica and both girls were sitting up in bed. Jack's jaw dropped.

"You're going to have a baby!" he said trying to piece this all together.

"Yeah," Erica replied. She wasn't sure how Jack was going to react. Jack looked around at his parent's faces. They seemed to be okay with it.

"I'm going to be an uncle!" Jack screamed throwing his hands in the air. Erica sighed and smiled. She decided to wait to tell Jack that she was raped and that Jason was the father of her baby.

"Okay, I need to go for a walk. I've been lying in bed for too long," Erica announced.

"I'll go with you," Jack said as his protective brother instincts began to take over. The two of them left. Monica and Chandler were now alone. Silence overtook the room.

"I let her down Chandler," Monica said finally breaking the silence. She began to cry.

"What? What are you talking about?" Chandler asked confused.

"I wasn't there for her when she needed me most. I couldn't protect my child when she was in danger. I mean, I was there with her. I could've prevented the rape. It's all my fault," Monica cried. Chandler sat down and looked Monica straight in the eye.

"Monica, I want you to look at me and listen to me very closely. None of this is your fault. I don't blame you and I know Erica doesn't blame you. As sad as it is, this is just something that happened. You shouldn't worry about that. You need to focus on making a full recovery," Chandler reasoned. Monica nodded but said nothing. Chandler pulled her close to him in a big hug and stroked her hair.

"I just hope she'll forgive me," Monica whispered.

"So, do you have any names picked out?" Jack asked. He was so excited about this baby.

"I haven't even thought about names," Erica confessed.

"Well, if it's a boy, you should namehim Jack," Jack smiled proudly. Erica rolled her eyes.

"I should've seen that one coming," Erica said jokingly. They were fooling around and having such a good time that neither one of them noticed that they were being followed.

"So, who's the father?" Jack asked. Erica bit her lip. He had to ask the question sooner or later she thought to herself.

"Um, well, when Mom and I were being kept hostage in the shack, I was, um, I was kind of raped…" Erica trailed off.

"So, it's Jason?"Jack asked nervously. He sensed his sister wasn't ready to talk about it yet, but he just wanted clarification. Erica nodded.

"Yes, Jason is the father of my baby," Erica replied.

"I'm the WHAT!" roared a voice from behind them. Jack and Erica turned around and came face to face with none other then Jason himself.

A/N: Dun Dun Dun! lol. Remember, the cop said Jason and Matt weren't dead. They were just in shock. I've decided to bring them back for a while because I'm mean like that :-) lol. Please review and tell me what you think!
