Chapter 10

            "So, Chandler, today's the day!  Excited?"

            "What do you think?"  He looked at Kara with a huge smile.

            "Is everyone else meeting her at her apartment?" She asked.

            "Yeah, we have a little surprise planned for her."

            "That's nice."  They were such good friends to Monica.

            "You're welcome to come along if you'd like.  We would all like you to."

            "Thanks so much, Chandler, but I'm sorry.  I have somewhere else I need to be."

            "Oh, so you've made other friends?"  He jokingly accused.  She laughed along with him. 

            "I'm sorry I can't make it.  I really am."

            "Don't worry about it.  And since you can't be there, I'll give you these in advance."  He handed her a card and then bent down to pick up one of the two bouquets of flowers, which he also gave her.  "It's from the gang.  We really appreciate all of the hard work you put into this.  You saved our Monica."  Kara nodded along as he gave her the gifts.

            "Chandler, thank you.  And I didn't save her---you did, I just helped you along.  I want to thank all of you guys for enriching my life so much.  I never knew that people could care so much for another friend.  It brings me hope…hope for everything." She smiled, and although it was corny, her eyes started to water a bit.

            Chandler gave her a hug and then wished her goodbye, but not without promising to keep in touch.  After her departure, he went to Monica's room, and her home for the last few months.  But not any more.

            He knocked once and then entered to find Monica zipping up her suitcase.

            "Aww, babe, I would have done that for you."  He said he walked over to her in order to offer his assistance. 

            "I'm not an invalid any more," She jokingly told him as she continued her attempts to shut the bag.  After a few minutes in vain, she continued, "But, I could use some help."  She looked shyly at him as he flexed his muscles to show off his strength and managed to zip up the bag.

            "You are too much, Chandler."  She laughed.  It felt so good to laugh.

            "But I am cute, right?"

            "Of course you're cute!"  Monica gave him a small peck on his mouth.

            "Mmmmm, I like that…"Chandler sighed with his eyes closed.

            "Well, there's more from where that came from." Chandler opened his eyes and she winked at him, then put on her jacket and motioned for him to get her bag.  She was still too weak to carry something that heavy.  Chandler obliged to her silent request and the two of them bid farewell to the room they hoped never to see again. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            Chandler opened the door for her and the crowd of people in the apartment shouted "Surprise!"

            "Oh my gosh, you guys!  You shouldn't have!" Monica exclaimed.

            "But we did!"  Phoebe pointed out.

            "Thanks so much."  Monica started to tear up.  "Thanks so much for everything, I can't tell you enough how much I, I, I, app…" The tears poured freely from her eyes as Chandler wrapped his arms around her shoulders consoling her. 

            For Monica, this was amazing, overwhelming, and…something she hadn't expected.  Not the surprise party, which actually was a surprise, but the feeling to be home at last, safe and sound.  And she had Chandler, finally, and they were so happy.  She felt invincible, like nothing bad could ever happen to her again.

            The rest of the party went on smoothly once Monica had settled down and she loved getting the chance to talk to all of these friends and family members once again.   In some ways, she didn't want them to ever leave, but in other ways, she did.  She wanted her first night alone with Chandler, away from the hospital.  Of course, nothing would really happen, given her still weak situation, but she looked forward to spending the night in his arms.  She knew this relationship would work out.  After all, he was her saving grace.  In the middle of talking to someone from work, she glanced over at Chandler, who was at her side, and had been through it all.  She smiled slightly and squeezed his hand while still feigning interest in her former co-workers personal life.  She gave a gentle squeeze back.  Just a few moments later, Monica excused herself from the conversation and left for her room…Chandler not far behind.

One Year Later

            Chandler pushed open the door for his wife and watched as the cold wind immediately took to her hair.  He too exited and took her hand in his.  She looked at him and smiled.  The two walked away from the gynecologist towards the subway, with Monica's free hand on her slightly rounded stomach.  She was three months along. 

            "Chandler, I was thinking."

            "Well, that's always good." Monica smiled.  His sarcasm never did die down.

            "As I was saying…I was thinking that now with the baby, maybe we should consider moving."  She did not want to pressure him though.

            "Mmmm, I was thinking about that too."

            "Really?"  She was surprised.

            "Yeah."  He smiled his bright smile and her and she literally felt her knees buckle.  Even after half a year of marriage he still had the same effect on her.  They continued walking and Monica give him a small kiss on his cheek, but still continued walking.  Monica went to make the left to the subway when she felt Chandler pull slightly on her arm. 

"This way," he told her.

            "Where are we going?" She asked him confused. 

            "You'll see."  He offered a sly smile.

            The two of them stopped at the corner and waited for the walking light to illuminate.  When it did, they began to walk.  Not half way through the street, Chandler heard a screech and he turned his head just in time to see a quickly approaching car.

            Let's just say that another unexpected twist in life kept them from where they were going…

~Okay, I know you may hate me now, but just because they didn't get to where they were going doesn't mean they died, ok?  So that's all!  I'm done!  Please review, and like I said, the only way I continue this is if I get so many reviews that I feel it would be detrimental to your mental health if I didn't continue.  Well, you know what I mean.  So please review!  Thanks and I hope you liked it!~
