Chapter 11: Long Time No See
"Dad" Chandler whispered shocked. 'Wh…what are you doing here" he asked Charles stood there looking at his only son he had gotten so thin and pale and his hair looked like it was beginning to fall out. "Uh hey son" he whispered "I umm, I cam to see you I'm sorry I didn't come sooner" He shrugged "Eh no big deal I'm only dying" he muttered. "Chandler" Monica whispered "Do…don't say that you...you're not going to die" tears pooled in her eyes. "Shh I'm sorry sweetie please don't cry" he whispered tightening his arms around her kissing the top of her head. "Are you two together" Charles asked watching his son comfort the young woman sitting in bed beside him.
"Yeah dad we are this is Monica my girlfriend" Chandler smiled "and that's her brother Ross" he said "Oh your college roommate right "Charles commented "Yeah" he nodded "That's his girlfriend Rachel and our two friends Joey and Phoebe" he finished. "Hi nice to meet you all" Charles smiled slightly at his son's friends. They all smiled and nodded. "So uh, what's going on" he asked "I was only told you were sick" Chandler sighed "I have leukemia" he told him "Oh My God" he said shocked "What uh, what are they doing for you" he asked "Well I'm on Chemo right now but I'll need a bone marrow transplant my friends were all tested Mon matched but she can't give me her marrow"
"I don't understand if she's a match why can't she do it" Charles asked "Because she's pregnant dad" Chandler answered setting his hand on her stomach "What!" he looked at the couple "I…I'm going to have a grandchild" he asked. "Yeah you are" he smiled. "Wow that's great" he grinned "But what does that mean for you son" Chandler sighed, "They're trying to find a match but finding one in a stranger is slim to none" he whispered "The best match is usually found in a sibling which I don't have" he added "Oh" Charles whispered "Have you spoken to your mother" He shook his head "We haven't been able to reach her" He nodded "Yeah her and her book tours and stuff"
"Mr. Bing" Monica whispered, "Dr. Kovach said parents can sometimes match too" she said softly hoping he'd want to help his only son. "Mon" Chandler whispered "Its my dad okay he…he's not gonna want to help me" Charles looked at his son. "Chandler that's not true you're my son" he said "I know I wasn't around much while you were growing up but that doesn't mean I don't love you because I do" he looked at Monica "What do I have to do" he asked "Dr. Kovach will just draw your blood first to see if you're a match" she said "Okay so where's this Dr. Kovach" he asked just as the doctor walked in.
"I'm Dr. Kovach" the doctor said "I'm Charles Bing, Chandler's father I want to be tested to see if I can give him my bone marrow" The doctor nodded "Alright I can do that right now if you'd like" Charles nodded. He glanced at his son as he followed the doctor out. He had the same thought they all had that he would be the match Chandler needed.
Chapter 12: Is He A Match…. Is Charles the match Chandler needs? Coming Soon!
