Thank you for reviewing
"Should we go to the hospital?" He asked, his voice a little shaky. Suddenly he was more nervous than he thought he would be. It's not like he's not done this before. It has been 15 years though since Zoe came into the world.
"I don't want to go in case it's nothing. Let's just see if another one comes before we go rushing out of the door." She told him.
He nodded. "Good idea. Your bag and the car seat are already in the car." He played with her hair. "So all we have to do is go when the time comes."
"Ok." Monica kept looking at the clock. She was really hoping another one would come. She was more than ready to get these babies out. 10 minutes passed and nothing yet. Waiting for this to get started was just horrible.
It was relaxing when chandler ran his fingers through her hair. She loved it.
"Can I get you anything?" He asked.
"Orange juice sounds good." She shifted on the couch in attempt to be comfortable.
"Ok." He kissed the side of her head and got some. "Here you go."
She reached for it but stopped and she started taking deep breaths.
"Is that another one?" He asked hopeful.
She nodded, taking his hand in hers.
She squeezed hard but he didn't care. Not when she was giving him two more daughters to love more than life itself.
"Ok we can go." She said once it was over.
He smiled. "We're going to be parents."
They almost got to the car when Monica stopped.
"Another one already?" He asked surprised. Last he checked they were 15 minutes apart.
"No it's not that. What if my water breaks? I don't want that happening in the car." She frowned.
He chuckled. "It's ok. Let's not worry about that now."
Chandler was very happy that he got them their safely with the way he was driving. On the outside, he was calm for Monica. But on the inside, he was freaking out. Either way he was so excited. He just wished Zoe could be there for this. Well not in the delivery room.
Everyone was called. Even though Chandler told them not to come up yet, he knew someone would end up showing up. Especially Monica's parents.
"Only 3 centimeters." Monica groaned with her hands over her face once they were alone in the hospital room.
"Hey look at me." He moved her hands from her face. "3 is better than nothing. Even if it takes a while, it will be ok. I'll be here with you."
She smiled and rubbed his cheek.
He took her hand and kissed it.
Dr. Yancey came back an hour later. It was now 8pm. "You're at a 5 now. This is going along nicely."
"You're doing so good honey." Chandler said softly. "You're half way there. 5 more centimeters to go and then you can push." He kissed the top of her head.
She lay her head against him, in attempt to relax some.
Chandler felt Monica's body tense up in his arms and her grip on his hand tightened tremendously.
"Breathe, breathe through it. You're doing great." He said soothingly.
"Ah oh this sucks." She leaned back against him, trying to catch her breath. Sweat was forming on her forehead now.
"4 minutes apart now." He smiled. "So close."
"Since they're so close, I don't think we should leave but do you want to walk around the room?" He asked.
She nodded. "Yeah." He helped her up and took her hand. They walked over to the window. The stars were visible.
"Is it bad that I'm exhausted at 9:30?" She asked, leaning against him.
He rubbed her back. "No, considering two little people are trying to come out of you."
"Hopefully soon I- oh gosh oh gosh ow oh ow." She gripped his hand and the window seal.
"Breathe Monica." He kissed her temple.
Him telling her that. When he did, she would remember to take deep breaths like they learned in Lamaze class. Then she would hear him whisper words of encouragement in her ear until it was over. He was so helpful.
During that contraction, neither one of them heard the door open and their friends pile in to the room.
"I told you guys not to come. This could be a while." Chandler said as he helped Monica ease back on the bed.
"I didn't want to miss this." Ross walked over and kissed his sisters head.
"How are you doing?" Rachel asked.
"Tired." She shifted again to lean against Chandler. It was more comfortable this way. "Ugh and now I have to pee."
Chandler helped her up.
"Or maybe not." She looked down at the floor.
"Oh man what's that?" Joey asked panicking.
"Relax Jo. Her water broke." Chandler said.
Monica sat back on the bed. "Can you- Oh son of a bi- ow." She leaned forward as Chandler helped her again.
Chandler could feel his heart beat faster. This was happening soon. He just knew it. That one was longer and she seemed to be in more pain.
"That was worse." She was trying to catch her breath now that it was over.
"I'm sorry babe." He put his hand on her stomach which seemed to be hard and tensed up.
Monica loved her friends she really did but she was happy that they all decided to go home for the night. They would all be back in the morning to hopefully see two babies.
By midnight she was at 7. She was so close. She just couldn't wait to get there.
Monica put her hands on her stomach. "Why won't they just come out?" It was now 3am.
"You've just given them such a great home. Maybe they don't want to leave." He smiled.
She managed to laugh slightly before her face scrunched up in pain. This one lasted a while. He wasn't sure how she was doing this but he had never been prouder of her until now.
When another came only 2 minutes later, lasting 1 minute long, he was paging for Dr. Yancey to come right away to the room.
"Please tell me I'm close." Monica cried.
Dr. Yancey smiled. "Congratulations. You're at 10 now."
Once in the delivery room, they told Monica to push and just when she thought she couldn't do it anymore, Chandler would whisper in her ear and she somehow managed to push harder.
"Ok I see the head." Dr. Yancey announced.
Chandler kissed Monica's forehead. "You're so close. She's almost here."
"Push when you feel another one Monica."
"Ugh ok." And with no break, another one came and Monica found herself pushing harder than before.
It seemed like forever to get the head out. Then with two more pushes, their first baby was born. The Dr. put her on Monica while Chandler cut the cord.
Monica was instantly crying. "Oh my goodness. She's beautiful." Monica kissed her forehead.
Chandler smiled, feeling his eyes tear up as well. He rubbed the baby's tiny arms. "She really is."
"Ok Monica, the nurse is going to get her cleaned up. It's almost time to push again." Dr. Yancey said.
Monica hesitated but handed the baby over.
"I'm so tired." Monica whispered to Chandler.
"I know you are honey. You have done so well but now we just need to get our next little girl here. Then it's all over." He smiled.
She nodded but before she could say anything, another contraction took over her body and she was pushing again as instructed.
With Chandler's help once again, their next baby was born.
Once they were cleaned up, Monica held one and Chandler held the other. They were both mesmerized by their babies.
"Do they have names? Dr. Yancey asked.
"We actually agreed on two the other night. Myah." She touched the baby that was in her arms.
"And this one is Hannah." Chandler smiled at the baby in his arms.
"Ok, Myah and Hannah Bing. Born on July 2nd at 4:38am." Dr. Yancey told them.
