He sighed. How could this have happened? They had such a strong, stable relationship, they thought they were ready to fight against anything, but instead they tripped at the first hurdle. He didn't understand why Monica was reacting like this. She could have a child, no problem; there were many options availably for her, but none at all for him. Ever since he had married Monica the picture of a happy family had become planted in his mind. He had dreamed of lazy Sunday morning when he and Monica would lay in bed extra late and their first born, preferably a girl would come running in and they would all fall asleep again. He dreamed of his first son playing football with him and having to support him from the sidelines at the school soccer matches. Now it had vanished. He sighed again and started searching the streets for his wife.
Phoebe walked slowly around Monica and Chandlers' apartment. It was three in the morning but she was still fully dressed in case they came back and wanted privacy to talk about the situation. She sat down to watch TV but there was nothing on apart from boring infomercials. She thought of her two friends, so meant for each other she couldn't imagine if they broke up. They were a perfect couple. They never argued about anything for long before one would crack and apologise, even if it wasn't their fault. She couldn't think of anything worse then if they broke up, neither of them would get over it.
She heard a key turning in the door and looked round, hoping it was Monica and Chandler together. It was just Monica though. When Phoebe saw her she gasped loudly. Her hair was plastered to her forehead and her clothes were soaking where it had been pouring with rain outside. She wasn't wearing a coat and her shirt had a sleeve ripped off of it and a tear down the left side. Her trousers were caked in mud as well as the one remaining shoe she had on. She had obviously been crying and there was an angry red cut on her left cheek.
'My God Monica! What happened?' Phoebe said, rushing over to her. Monica started sobbing and Phoebe rapped her in a hug. Monica started to cry harder and Phoebe led her over to the couch to sit her down. She rocked Monica back and forth, trying to calm her down. After a few minutes the sobbing subdued to silent tears streaming down her face. 'Monica? What happened?' Phoebe asked a little while later. Monica looked up at her, and then buried her head in to Phoebe's neck.
'I was walking.' she started before the tears started up again. Phoebe hugged her tighter and Monica continued. 'And I went through the park. it started raining so I started to come home. there was a man at the park gates and I was a bit worried but I walked past him. He chased after me and grabbed me.' She trailed off, giving in to the sobs starting to choke her. 'He dragged me off and I couldn't fight him off and he had his hand over my mouth and there were no other people around.' She didn't say any more but just closed her eyes and breathed deeply.
'Monica, Sweetey, what happened then?' Phoebe asked, she was shocked that this had happened to her friend.
'He attacked me.' She whispered. 'He forced me up against the wall and started to rip my clothes off. I couldn't do anything. Then he just dropped me and told me to run before he did something else. So I ran.'
~*~*~*~* Two weeks later. *~*~*~*~
Monica stared at the test in front of her. She was pregnant. This couldn't be, it just couldn't be.
'Monica?' she heard Rachel call from the living room. She sat on the bathroom floor and started to cry again. She had been doing that a lot recently. Chandler had come home that night she was attacked to find Monica asleep in bed. He didn't know why but he felt it would be bad to climb in to bed next to her when she was so mad at him so he went to sleep on the couch. She woke up the next morning and found Chandler making her breakfast. As soon as he saw her he started to apologise and she broke. She told him how much she loved him, hoe she couldn't possibly live without him and how she was so sorry for reacting like she did. She told him how they could try other ways to have a baby. She didn't tell him about the rape. She didn't tell anyone.
Now she was pregnant.
'Monica?' She heard Rachel call again. She wiped her eyes on a tissue and stood up. She could get through this. She had Chandler so everything would. Chandler. 'Oh no' she thought. How could she tell him this? He would think she cheated on him. She would never do that. She sighed deeply and prepared herself for what she was about to do.
'I'm here Rache.' She said as she stepped out of the bathroom. Rachel smiled at her but it son vanished when she saw that her friend had been crying.
'Monica, what's the matter?' as she said this Monica burst in to tears again. She looked down at the pregnancy test still in Monicas' hand. 'Oh God.' She said. That was exactly as Monica felt.
Chandler sat down on the orange couch in the coffee house. Things hadn't been right lately, Monica had apologised for being so mean about the fact that he couldn't have children but she was still distant. He noticed that she flinched when he touched her the first few days after. She hadn't explained the gash on her cheek and she was more withdrawn. He had tried to ask her what was wrong but she didn't answer, he assumed she was still upset about not being able to have a baby with him. He sighed. She had been even weirder this morning. She had gone in to the bathroom just before he left and had rang him at the office to say they had a doctors appointment that afternoon and to meet her at Central Perk. So here he was.
'Hey man.' Joey said as he walked through the door. He ordered a coffee and sat by Chandler. He noticed how down his friend had been recently, but finding out that you would never have your own family would have a down effect on you.
'Hey' He replied. He stared straight ahead of him and said nothing else. Monica came through the door, followed closely by Rachel and Phoebe. They seemed to be hovering protectively behind her when she went over to kiss Chandler hello. They were determined to help her through this all. The day after Monica had told her that she was raped Phoebe had talked her in to going to the police. So she did, and told them everything. Now Rachel was involved and she also wanted to do everything she could, she was the one that convinced her to take Chandler to the doctors with her. He got him coat and stood up. He could tell this was serious, something bad. He just couldn't tell what.
'Congratulations Mrs Bing, your pregnant.' The OB GYN told her. Chandler looked at her. How? He wouldn't believe for one second that she had cheated on him but. well the proof was right there.
Monica gasped. She wasn't sure how to feel. Delighted that she was finally going to have the baby she had dreamed of since she was a teenager, sickened by the way she got pregnant; down a dark ally, raped by a stranger, or terrified by what Chandler was thinking right now.
'I'll give you two a minute' the doctor said feeling the sudden tension in the room. Once she was gone Monica took the chance to look at Chandler. she couldn't read the look on his face, it was sort of a mix between confusion, shock and slight anger. A knot formed itself in her stomach. She silently begged him to say something.
'Chandler?' she asked timidly. 'Chandler, I know how this looks but you have to know. I didn't cheat on you.' She said. Chandler looked at her, he was torn between trusting her and giving in to the evidence. Tears formed in his eyes as realised, for the first time in their relationship, he couldn't entirely trust her. He had to say something.
'Well, how did you get pregnant then? Huh? Because from what I learned in high school was that you need a fertile man to get pregnant and you don't have one of them.' He said to her sarcastically. He was mad, but not fully at her. He was angry at the whole situation. 'So if it cant be mine, and you didn't cheat on me how did this little miracle happen?' he knew he was almost shouting now but he didn't care, there was no one in the room next door and he wanted Monica to know he was angry.
Tears were beginning to form in Monicas' eyes as well. She knew why he was acting like this, it looked pretty bad from an outsiders point of view. Then she realised, Chandler was only an outsider because she wasn't letting him in. she had to tell him the truth. if he would believe her now.
'Chandler, honey please listen.' She held his hand and gave him a look that instantly melted his heart. 'That night, when I ran out two weeks ago. I was raped.' She said. Chandler didn't know what to say. Or do. He only knew one thing; he did believe her. He went by his instinct and hugged her. She clung on to him and started to cry.
'Sweetheart I'm sorry.' He whispered in to her ear. How could he have been so cruel? They stayed in the hug for what seemed like forever. The doctor knocking on the door interrupted them. She came in and sorted through some papers before looking up at the couple. She was the same doctor that had given them the dreadful news those two weeks ago.
'Well Mrs Bing, would you like to know how far along you are?' she said. She had no idea how to tell them this. Monica nodded absent minded, she knew how far along she was, there was no other way.
'Your six weeks pregnant.' Both Monica and Chandler looked up at her sharply. 'And.um it seems we made a mistake with the results from the last test. We're very sorry for the upset we may have caused but you are able to have children Mr Bing, we mixed up your file with another Bing couple. Again we're very sorry, I really hope this hasn't caused too much trauma for you two.' Monica and Chandler just stared at her. This was all too much. Like something out of a soap opera or something.
'There's another Bing couple?' Chandler said, for anything else half decent to say. Monica smiled, for the first time in weeks.
They got home later that night and were greeted by a very anxious Rachel and Phoebe. Monica and Chandler told them all what happened.
'Oh my God!' they cried in unison.
'Are you going to do something about the people at the clinic?' Phoebe asked.
'Not really, I mean everyone makes mistakes. Like with you and the triplets.' Chandler said. He was surprisingly calm about finding out that not only was he able to have a babe but he was going to have one. Monica had noticed this and put it down to just being relieved.
'Yeah, we're just going to leave it, we've been through too much to want to take it any further now.' Stated Monica.
'Yeah, we're just going to go to bed and try to figure this out in the morning.' Chandler said and Phoebe and Rachel noticed how tired they both looked.
'ok, uh we're going to go now then.' Rachel said. 'You sure you don't need anything?' She asked. Monica and Chandler just shook their heads. They had everything they needed now.
