Chapter 7: Our Prayers Were Answered
Chandler heard the voices of his wife, sister in law, brother in law and his in laws getting closer. The door opened and Judy Geller stepped in followed by Rachel, Ross, Jack and Monica. "What's he doing in here" she said "Haven't you caused enough damage" she snapped. Chandler looked at her. "Judy if you'd stop yelling at me for one second and look at your granddaughter you'd see she's awake" he yelled. She glanced and Emma and was surprised to see her blue eyes looking back at her
Silent tears ran down Emma's cheeks as she watched her grandma and uncle fighting. "Emma sweeite its grandma" Judy whispered as she pushed Chandler out of the way causing him to lose the grip he had on her hand. She kept reaching for Chandler's hand but Judy wouldn't him close enough to take her hand. More tears filled the little girl's eyes. Ross walked over to Judy. "Mom can't you see you're upsetting her, she wants her uncle" He told her. "Ross sweeite she's just scared that's all" she said sweetly. Monica felt like gagging. No matter what Ross said or did their mother was always so sweet to him and it was sickening to watch.
Ross looked at his daughter. He gently brushed away one of her tears. "Emma, sweetie tell daddy what's wrong are you scared like grandma said" he asked. She shook her head no. She looked at her daddy. She balled her hands up in to fists she punched the air and then pointed at Judy and Chandler. Ross wasn't sure what she was saying. Monica who was watching them knew what she meant. She walked over to her niece. "Sweeite are you upset because grandma and Uncle Chandler were fighting" she asked. Emma nodded and tried to reach for Chandler's hand again but Judy blocked her.
Rachel was upset now. "Judy please stop it okay just stop it" she yelled "Our prayers were answered Emma is awake we should be happy" she paused "You need to stop blaming Chandler he didn't shoot her and neither did Hannah the gun fell and it went off " Rachel was in tears now. "and one more thing if my daughter wants to hold her Uncle Chandler's hand then let her" she finished.
Judy glared at Rachel. "Maybe he didn't shoot her but if he hadn't had a gun in the first place it wouldn't have happened." She replied. "Grandma" a small voice whispered. Judy turned around and saw that all their yelling had waken Hannah. "Daddy got the gun because of what happened to mommy" she whispered. Judy knelt down in front of her. "Hannah what do you mean what happened to mommy" she asked. "A bad man hurt her" she whispered. She looked at Monica and then at Chandler. "What is she talking about" she asked.
Chandler sighed softly. It was shortly after Brianna was born." He started. "While I was at work some guy broke into the apartment Monica was there with the girls she was coming out of the girls room and surprised the guy" he paused "When I got home there were police in the apartment and Monica was on the sofa crying into Joey's shoulder." He looked at Judy. "The creep beat her up and took off and Hannah was just 4 years old she...she saw that jerk hitting her mother she was afraid to sleep in her room she wanted to always be with Monica because she was afraid if her mommy was alone the bad man would come back and hurt her again"
He stopped to brush away the tears in his eyes. "Monica was afraid too she didn't want me to go to work my family was terrified so I brought the gun so they'd be safe so I could protect them" he finished as hr brushed away a few more tears. Monica walked over to him and hugged him. She knew how hard it had been for him to tell that story.
Judy stared at him on shock. "My God" she whispered "How come you never told me she asked. "Mom its not something we like to talk about" Monica whispered "Only Joey and Phoebe knew and that's only because Joey came running in when he heard the noise, he scared the guy off" Tears filled Monica's eyes. "He was trying to rape me mom if it wasn't for Joey he would have" she whispered. Chandler wrapped his arms around her.
Ross and Rachel were both in shock. They pulled Monica into a hug. "Honey I'm so sorry" Rachel whispered. "It was four years ago Rach I hadn't even thought about it until Emma was hurt" Monica replied. "Mon why...why didn't you ever tell me" Ross asked. "It was hard enough telling Chandler I didn't want to even try telling you" she whispered. "Like I said it was four years ago and I'm fine we should be more concerned with Emma" she told them.
Judy stood there in shock tears filling her eyes. "Chandler I...I'm sorry I...I had no idea my daughter and granddaughter had been so traumatized you brought the gun for a good reason" She walked over to him and hugged him. "Emma's accident wasn't your fault, I'm sorry Chandler I'm sorry I blamed you" she whispered. Chandler hugged her back. "Its okay Judy in a way it was my fault Monica always hated having the gun in the house she says the only thing she needs to feel safe is my arms around her" He paused "I'm getting rid of the gun its not worth it, I almost lost my niece because of it and my family is everything to me" he finished.
Judy smiled a little "Well I'd understand if you disowned me as part of that family" she paused "I think there's a little girl who wants her uncle" she said. Chandler smiled "I'd never do that, I may not like you all the time but I do love you, I mean you created the best part of my life" He looked at Monica and she blushed a little. Judy smiled "Thank you" she whispered "I...I Love you too Chandler I do" she whispered "I know you do" he said hugging her as he walked over to Emma's bed.
Chandler smiled at the little girl "Hey kiddo" he said taking her hand. Emma tried to smile but it was kind of hard with the tube in her throat. She wanted to talk but because of the tube she couldn't do that either. She looked at him and touched her eye. She could hear her mom getting grossed out. She made a heart with her hands and then pointed at Chandler. He smiled "I love you too sweetie" he said as he gently kissed her forehead.
Dr. Prescott walked into the room. "I heard that little Emma here is awake " she said with a smile. When Emma saw the doctor she got scared and squeezed Chandler's hand. "Its okay sweetie don't be scared your mommy, daddy, grandma, grandpa, Aunt Monica and I Are all here with you" The little girl calmed down a little. "Hi Emma I'm Dr. Prescott I just want to see how you're doing okay" Se examined the little girl. She listened to Emma's chest several times. Dr. Prescott smiled "Well it looks like she's doing well, we should be able to extubate her in a little while"
Rachel and Ross both smiled and sighed with relief. "Our prayers really were answered Ross" Rachel whispered. "Yes they were" Ross replied as he glanced over at his little girl.
Chapter 8: Nightmares and Recovery....Emma is recovering and Hannah is having nightmares....Coming Soon!
Author's Note: I Used one of the many suggestions I have received. I had Chandler explain the events that led him to get the gun to Judy. I'm not sure who's idea it was but you know who you are right! LOL So anyway thanks so much! I hope you all enjoy this chapter! The next one deals with Emma's recovery and Hannah having some scary nightmares about the gun and Emma's shooting and a little more. Look for it soon! As always happy reading! Please leave a tiny review! Thanx!
