Chapter 6: My Love


Dr. Vega walked in. He cleared his throat "I don't mean to intrude on this warm moment but I need to speak to Mr. and Mrs. Bing" he said. Chandler looked at the doctor "Its okay what ever you need to say you can say with my family here" he said. The doctor nodded "Very well" "Mr. Bing we've been looking over your spinal x-rays and its not good" he said.


"Okay so what is it" he asked nervously. Monica could sense his nervousness. She sat down on the edge of the bed reached for his hand and squeezed it softly. "You have a fracture between the fourth and fifth vertebra" the doctor replied. "So...so what does that mean" he asked. "Well it means that once the swelling has gone down you'll need surgery to remove the small fragments of bone lodged in your spinal column" he informed him.


Monica felt Chandler squeeze her hand. She felt tears filling her eyes but she couldn't cry she needed to be strong for him. "Then...then will he be able to walk again" she asked her voice cracking a little. Dr. Vega sighed softly. "It is possible but the chances are slim" he said softly.


Chandler looked at his friends then he looked at Monica her stomach swollen with their second child and Hannah sitting in his arms. He began to cry. He wanted things to be like they were. Hannah looked up and saw his tears. She touched his wet cheek with her little hand. "No cry Dada luv you" she said in her little baby voice. That made him cry even more "Daddy loves you too angel" he whispered as he hugged her. Monica could no longer hold her tears as she began to cry softly. Chandler pulled her into the hug too. He held his wife and daughter close to him.


Ross stood there watching his sister and her family. They were his family too there had to be something that could help them. He looked at the doctor. "I'm Ross Geller isn't...isn't there anything you can do to help my brother in law" he asked. "Mr. Geller we're going to do everything we can for your brother in law and he may or may not walk again but either way he'll have alot of physical and emotional recovery ahead of him" he paused "The best thing for Mr. Bing right now is the love and support from all of you" Dr. Vega told him.


"He's always going to have our love and support but that's not going to make him walk again" Ross said as he glanced over at Chandler who still had Monica and Hannah in his embrace. "He...he has a family, a daughter , a second baby on they way, a niece, a nephew" whispered. "I know Mr. Geller I wish I could say he'd defiantly walk again but I can't " he looked at Ross. "But he was lucky " he said softly.

"Lucky you call the possibility of life in a wheel chair lucky" he asked. "Yes I do because he survived he's here with his wife and child there were some people on that plane that weren't so lucky and there were some families that weren't so lucky, look at them Mr. Geller" he said pointing to Chandler and his family "and you tell me if he's lucky"


Ross knew the doctor was right. Chandler is the love of Monica's life. No one could make her smile the way he does and would have destroyed her if she had lost him. He sighed softly. "Yes I guess he is pretty lucky" he said softly. "When...when will you operate" he asked. "We'll take him down to the OR in a couple hours" the doctor told him. "Thank you Dr. Vega" he nodded as he left the room.


Ross walked back over to the bed where Chandler laid. Monica looked at him. "What did the doctor say Ross" she asked. "He...he said they'll be taking Chandler to the OR in a few hours" he said.


The next few hours passed by quickly. A nurse walked in. She smiled "Hello I'm Abby I'm here to take you to the OR Mr. Bing" She motioned for the two orderlies to bring in the gurney. They carefully transferred him to the gurney.


Chandler looked at Monica. He took her hand. "I love you Mon and I love the kids to always remember that okay" She began to cry softly "Stop it Chandler you'll be fine" she whispered "I...I know but I just wanted you to know that" he looked at Ross and Joey. "Guys if...if something happens and I...I don't make it I...I want you both to take care of Monica and the kids okay" Ross looked at him. "Chandler you'll be okay" he said softly "Please just promise me you'll both take of my family" he whispered tears filling his eyes. Ross and Joey nodded "Of...of course we promise" they both said fighting their own tears.


"Mr. Bing we really need to go now" Abby said. "Okay just one more minute okay. He smiled at Hannah "Daddy loves you angel always" he whispered "Luv you Dada" she giggled. Monica leaned down and kissed him. "I love you Chandler and I'll be right there when you wake up, we all will" she said softly. "Mr. Bing we really need to go now" Abby said again. He nodded. "Okay" he whispered. He looked at his family. "I love you guys" he said as they wheeled him out. Monica stood there crying softly watching them until they were out of sight.
