Chapter 10: No Pain No Gain
Chandler made his way in to the physical therapy room. He smiled at the brunette woman in the room. "Hello Courteney" She smiled "Hi Chandler how are you today" she asked. "I'm fine" he replied "And how's Monica and that beautiful little girl of yours" she asked with a smile. "Monica's great she'll be having the baby soon and Hannah she's getting bigger every day" he said proudly. "That's great" she said. "You ready to get to work" she asked. He nodded "As ready as I'll ever be" he replied.
Courteney spent the next hour helping Chandler stretch and exercise his legs. It was a tiring process but he knew it was necessary. Courteney smiled "Well we had another great session Chandler" she told him. "Yeah I guess" he said sighing softly. "You're making great progress you just have to give yourself some time" she said softly. He knew she was right but it had been nearly 3 months and he still had no feeling in his legs. "So is Monica picking you up" she asked. "No she wanted to but with her getting so close to her due date I told her to stay home, one of my friends will pick me up today" he told her.
Joey came into the room. He smiled at Courteney. "How you doin" he asked. Chandler rolled his eyes. "Dude you're engaged" he said. "Yeah so" Joey replied "Yeah so stop flirting" he told him. Courteney laughed "You must be Joey, I'm Courteney, Chandler's physical therapist" she extending her hand. He blushed a little as he shook her hand. "He talks about me" he asked. She nodded "Yeah he does you're engaged to Phoebe and you live across the hall from him and Monica, Monica's brother Ross, his wife Rachel and their daughter Emma live across the street" she said "Oh and of course he has Hannah she's 18 months old and Monica is having another baby really soon" she said smiling.
Joey smiled "Wow what else do you know about us" he asked. "Wouldn't you like to know" she said winking. "Well I better get him home before Monica kills me, it was nice meting you" he told her. She smiled "It was nice meeting you too Joey, Chandler see you in two days okay" He nodded and smiled as he and Joey left.
A little later Joey and Chandler were sitting in front of the TV watching a rerun of Bay Watch. Monica walked up and wrapped her arms around Chandler's neck. She groans when she sees what he's watching. "Honey I can't believe you like that show" she said. "Since Joey is here I'm gonna run to the store with Pheebs okay" she said kissing him softly. "Hannah is sitting on the floor playing with her toys" He nodded "Okay honey be careful" he said. "Don't worry we'll be fine" he told him as she rubbed her growing stomach. She knelt down by Hannah. "Sweeite mommy has to go out for a little bit I want you to be a good girl for daddy and Uncle Joey okay" The little girl smiled "Okay ma ma" she whispered. Monica kissed the top of her head and pushed herself up and headed out the door.
A commercial came and Joey got up "I'm getting another beer want anything" he asked. "Yeah bring me a beer too" Chandler replied. Hannah was getting frustrated with the toy she was playing with and decided to throw it. It flew over by Chandler hitting his leg. "Oh my God" he whispered as he picked up the toy. Joey came back and handed Chandler his beer. "Dude you okay" he asked when he realized Chandler wasn't paying him any any attention.
Chandler looked at Joey. "If...if I tell you something you promise you won't tell anyone especially Monica' he asked. "Oh man not more secrets" he whined "Okay I won't say anything." He replied. "Hannah she...she threw this toy and it hit my leg and I...I felt it" he whispered. Joey smiled "Dude that's great why don't you want Monica to know" he asked. "Because when I tell her I want to stand up and walk over to her, so please promise me you won't say anything to anyone" He smiled "That is so sweet my lips are sealed." He said pretending to lock his lips.
As the days went by Chandler started to get more and more feeling in his legs. Joey was keeping his word and hadn't told anyone.
Joey came to pick Chandler up from physical therapy. Chandler smiled "Hey Joey watch this." He slowly stood up and took a few steps toward him. Joey smiled "Dude that's great" he said hugging his friend. He sat back down in the chair. "I'm going to show Monica tonight so maybe you and Pheebs could watch Hannah for me" Joey nodded "Of course we will" he said.
Courteney smiled "I'm really happy for you Chandler, I knew all that hard work would pay off " she said "I still want to see you at least once a week okay" Chandler nodded "Okay" he said as he and Joey left.
That night Joey came over and picked up Hannah. He smiled and whispered "Good luck and have fun" in his ear. Monica looked at him. "Okay Chandler what's going on why did Joey take my baby" he smiled "It's a surprise" he told her. He rolled himself over to the CD player. He turned it on and a familiar tune began to play. Monica looked at him with a questioning look. "Honey why did you put on Wonderful Tonight" she asked He smiled "Because its the song we danced to after you made me the happiest man in the world by saying you'd be my wife"
"Oh okay" she whispered as she turned away and began to wash the dishes in the sink. "Mon those dishes can wait" he whispered. "Why" she whispered "Because I want you to dance with me" he said. She turned around to look at him "Chandler that's not funny" she whispered.
Chandler smiled as he slowly stood up. Monica covered her mouth with her hand as she began to cry softly. She raced over to him and threw her arms around him. "Oh Chandler" she whispered "I love you" she told him. "I love you too Mon" he said as he held her close and gently swayed to the music.
Once the song ended Chandler slowly led Monica to their bedroom. He began to kiss her but she stopped him. "Chandler, honey I don't know if this is such a good idea I am 8 months pregnant" she said rubbing her belly. "Honey you know its perfectly safe , the doctor even told Rachel it was good for going in to labor when she was pregnant with Emma" he said smiling. Monica smiled they had both been waiting a long for this moment and she never could resist his smile. "Okay" she said smiling as she kissed him.
Later that night after releasing months of locked up passion and love they laid in each others arms. Monica had her head resting on Chandler's chest and his arm rested on her belly. "Wow that was amazing" she whispered "Even if my big belly did keep getting in the way" she giggled. She prepped herself up with her elbow. "So does anyone else know about this" she asked. "Well you were pretty loud, So Joey and Phoebe probably do" he said giggling. She playfully smacked him. "Not that, you being able to walk" she said. "Only Joey" he replied. "Wow he's getting better with secrets huh" she whispered.
Monica yawned as she snuggled in to Chandler's arms. "You know we'll have to tell everyone else tomorrow" she whispered. "Yeah I will" he replied as he kissed her softly. "I love you Monica" he whispered. " I love you too Chandler" she whispered. They fell asleep wrapped in each other's arms.
Chapter 11: The Secret Is Out...Chandler tell the gang he can walk
Author's Note. Okay I know the last part of this chapter was pretty mushy but I though a little mush was deserved. LOL. This fic has about 2 maybe 3 more chapters to go but I've got several more Chandler/Monica fics in development! Look for them soon!!
