Chapter 9: Am I Too Late
Monica sat in the small room a clipboard in her hand; she looked down at the forms she was supposed to be filling out, she gotten as far as her name. Brushing away more tears she filled in her address, birthday, occupation, and medical history. The only thing left was her emergency contact tears filled her eyes as she slowly wrote Chandler's name in the space. Ross would have been the logical choice but she knew he was the only person she'd really want in an emergency. Monica stood up and walked to the small repetition area "Excuse me" she whispered "I uh, I'm finished filling these out" she handed the clipboard to the receptionist. "Thank you Ms. Geller we'll get you in to a room in few minutes. Monica just nodded as she sat back down.
Chandler made his way to the elevator he got in and pressed the button for the OB-GYN. Leaning against the back of the elevator he sighed. He couldn't believe what was happening. Monica was a match and she was pregnant. She never came back to his room after talking with the doctor and when he told him she was pregnant and a match some how he knew why she hadn't come back he knew what she was planning to do there was no way he could let her give up the baby she's wanted all her life, the baby that would keep a part of him with her forever. The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Chandler stepped out and headed towards OB-GYN.
"Ms. Geller" Monica looked up when her name was called. "Yes" she whispered "We're ready for you," the nurse standing there told her. "Oh o…okay" she slowly stood up and followed the nurse to a room. "Here's a gown to change into the bathroom is right there" the nurse handed her a gown and pointed to a door in the room. "The doctor will be with you in a few minutes." She said leaning her alone. Monica slowly made her way to the bathroom and changed into the gown. She sat on the exam table looking around the room at the different pregnancy related posters and models she set her hand on her stomach as tears filled her eyes. She knew she was doing the right thing but it was also the hardest thing she ever had to do.
Chandler approached the reception area "Excuse me I…I'm looking for Monica Geller" he told the woman behind the desk. "Ms. Geller is in with the doctor at the moment" when she said that Chandler's heart felt like it stopped. "What room" he asked "I'm sorry I can't give you that information sir" He looked at her tears in his blue eyes "Please sh…she's my girlfriend I…I can't let her go through with it" a tear slipped down his cheek. She sighed "Alright she's in room 202" He nodded "Thanks" he started down the hall.
A doctor walked in the quiet room startling Monica. "Hello I'm Dr. Lockhart" she introduced herself "I…I'm Monica Geller" she whispered "Okay Ms. Geller if you'll lay back we can get started" Monica laid back and stared at the ceiling as tears ran down her face. She didn't want to d this she would have given anything to be able to save Chandler and keep her baby but she knew she couldn't have both.
The door opened Monica lifted her head a little she was surprised to see him standing there. "Ch…Chandler" she whispered "Wh…what are you doing here" she asked. "Stopping you Mon" he said softly "I…I can't let you do this" Dr. Lockhart looked at the couple "I'll give you two a minute to talk before I start" she left the room. "Yo…you shouldn't be here Chandler Yo…you should be in bed," Monica whispered looking away. "Mon" he whispered walking towards her "Please don't do this" She turned to look at him again "I…I have to Chandler I…I can't let you die" she began to cry softly. "I'm not gonna die sweetie" he tried to assure her.
"I'm a match Chandler I…I could save you if I weren't pregnant" she cried, "I know" he reached for her hand relieved when she didn't pull away. "Just because I can't have your marrow doesn't mean I won't find another match," he said softly "None of the guys matched Chandler there is no other match" He nodded "I know none of them matched but the guys are still trying to reach my parents and there's always a chance a stranger could match" he said "Yeah bu…but why take that risk when I can give you my bone marrow" she asked "Because" he started setting his hand on her stomach "I love you and our baby and this has been your dream for so long I…I can't let you give it up" he whispered tears in his eyes "Bu…but you" he put her finger to her lips and brushed away her tears "I'll be okay Mon I promise" he wrapped her arms around her holding her close hoping that was a promise he could keep.
