Chapter 2: How Could This Happen
The 3 couples raced up the stairs and froze when they saw the door to Chandler and Monica's apartment was open and two police officers were standing there. Monica panicked. She ran over to the door with Chandler right behind her. "My babies" she cried as she tried to get inside. "Ma'am you can't go in there" one of the officers told her trying to hold her back. "But I live here" she cried. Chandler stepped up " I'm Chandler Bing my kids and niece are in there" he told the officer.
Chandler glanced behind the officer and saw Hannah sitting on the sofa sobbing. He pushed past the officer and ran over to the sofa. "Hannah, angel" he whispered as he knelt down in front of her. It was then that he noticed the blood on her shirt. "Oh my God" he whispered "baby tell daddy what happened" he asked "I...I...I didn't mean it daddy I'm...I'm sorry" she whispered "I...I didn't mean to hurt Emma" she sobbed. "Emma" he asked He looked over at his room the door was wide open and there were EMT's and police inside.
He stood up and walked slowly to the bedroom door. He gasped at what he saw. Emma was laying on the floor and the EMT's were working on her. He took a step into the room and that's when he saw it laying near Emma. His gun. He stood there in total shock. He couldn't take his eyes off his niece laying so still on the floor. Two screams broke him from his shock. He slowly turned to see Rachel and Monica standing right behind him.
"My baby" "Oh my God my baby" Rachel screamed as she pushed her way into the room. She fell to the ground and grasped her daughter's small hand. "Emma baby its mommy please wake up" she cried "Is my baby going to be alright" she asked the EMT. "Well ma'am she's lost alot of blood we have to get her to the hospital" he told the sobbing woman as he lifted the small girl onto a gurney and carried her from the apartment.
Rachel and Ross followed their little girl out to the ambulance. "Wh...what happened in here" Monica asked her face streaked with tears. Chandler said nothing he kept thinking about Emma and the gun. He had brought the gun when Brianna was just a baby. He had come home from work to find the police at his house. There had been a break in while Monica had been home with the girls. The girls were fine but the guy had hurt Monica when she walked in on him. He had decided to buy the gun to protect his family but it didn't protect them it destroyed them.
He finally crumbled he leaned against the wall and broke down. Monica rubbed his shoulder "Honey she'll be okay" she whispered "We should get down to the hospital Ross and Rachel need us" He looked at her his eyes still filled with tears. "The...the girls" he whispered "Gunther he...he said he'd close Central Perk early and stay with them" she said softly. "No I...I'll stay with them" he whispered "Chandler your brother and sister in law need you" she cried. "I...I can't its...its my fault" he whispered "Wh...what" she asked "They...the girls...they found my...my gun" he sobbed. "My...my niece could die and its...its my fault"
Monica looked at him a look of shock on her face. "I'm...I'm sorry Mon I...I know I should have gotten rid of it, all I ever wanted was for my family to be safe" he whispered. One of the officers walked over to them. "Mr. and Mrs. Bing we're going to have to ask you a few questions" he told them. The officers asked them and Brenda several questions.
The officers said that had all they needed for now and would be in touch. Monica stood up wiping her tear stained face. "Come on Chandler lets go to the hospital" she whispered reaching for his hand. When he didn't respond she knelt down in front of him. "Chandler what happened it...it wasn't your fault Ross and Rachel know how much you love Emma, they know you'd never intentionally put her in harm's way" she whispered "Please come with me" she said softly reaching for his hand again.
Chandler grasped her hand in his. He glanced over at Brenda who still had tears in her eyes. "Brenda" he whispered "Will you stay with the girls until Gunther comes up" he asked. The teenager wiped her eyes with her sleeve. O....okay" she said softly.
The cab ride to the hospital was quiet. Chandler and Monica walked through the ER. They spotted Ross sitting with his arms around Rachel both of them crying. "Rach" Monica whispered. Rachel looked up and saw Monica and Chandler standing in front of her. "How's...how's Emma " Chandler asked. Ross glared at him. He stood up "You son of a bitch! What the hell were you thinking having a gun in the same house with my little nieces, with my little girl" he screamed as he shoved him. "I'm...I'm sorry, Ross I'm sorry" he cried.
Ross glared at him. "Sorry! Well sorry isn't good enough stay the hell away from my family" he screamed "Ross please I...I never meant for Emma to...to get hurt" Ross let his anger get the best of him as he punched Chandler knocking him to the ground "Yeah well she did get hurt and its your fault" he yelled.
"Ross stop it" Monica cried as she knelt down by her husband. "Fighting with Chandler isn't going to help Emma" she said her eyes filling with tears. "It wasn't his fault Ross he loves Emma he loves her like he loves his girls" she cried "The gun shouldn't have been there Mon" Ross whispered "I know that and so does Chandler" she whispered
Chandler stood up "It could have easily been Hannah or Brianna that was hurt" he said softly. "But its not, its my little girl in there fighting for her life and where are your girls Chandler, they're home safe in their beds" Ross said as he began to cry.
Rachel stood up and walked over to Ross. "Honey we shouldn't be fighting we're all family and right now we need each other and Emma needs us" she whispered. "But Rach" he whispered "Ross, Chandler loves Emma and she loves him" She paused to look into his eyes "Remember when Emma was 5 and she fell off the swing and broke her arm, we rushed to the ER and Emma was crying and scared to have the doctor put a cast on her arm, I wanted to run in there and hold my baby but you made me stay there and we stood outside the room and watched Chandler comfort her making her laugh and forget about being scared" she whispered "Chandler treats her like one of his daughters just like you treat Hannah and Brianna like your daughters" she said softly.
Ross knew that Rachel was right that this was just a freak accident. He looked at Chandler. He had tears in his eyes and so did Monica. "Mon...Chandler...I'm...I'm sorry" he whispered. Chandler and Monica walked over to Ross and the three of them hug. "Aww you guys" Rachel whined as she hugged them too.
Joey and Phoebe rounded the corner and saw the group hug and assumed the worst. "Oh no guys what...what happened" Phoebe asked nervously. Monica looked at them "Its along story but everything is okay now" she told them. "Is there any news on Emma" Joey asked with concern. Rachel was about to answer when a doctor with long dark hair walked over to the group. "Mr. and Mrs. Geller" she asked. Ross grabbed Rachel's hand squeezing it softly. "We're...we're the Gellers" he replied
The doctor nodded "I'm Dr. Prescott, I was the pediatric surgeon working on your daughter" she informed them. "How's our little girl" Rachel asked "Well Mrs. Geller she's out of surgery but..."
