Chapter 8: Nightmares and Recovery
A week has passed since the accident. Emma is doing better. She still needs a little help with her breathing. Everyone was pleased that she was doing well. Nobody knew that it was Hannah who wasn't doing so well.
Things slowly got back to normal in the Bing house. After being out of school for nearly a week Hannah returned to school which she wasn't happy about. Some of the kids in her first grade class found out what happened to her cousin and teased her about it. Hannah didn't listen to them she did what her Aunt Phoebe had said she told her to ignore the other kids when they acted all floopy. She loved it when Phoebe made up her own words.
The only part of the day Hannah hated was bedtime. It used to be her favorite time. Her and Brianna would sit on their daddy's lap while their mommy read to them then daddy would tuck them in tickle them and kiss them goodnight. Now she dreaded bedtime because that meant her bad dreams would come back.
Hannah and Brianna were sitting in the living room watching Lilo & Stitch. Monica walked in and turned it off "Okay you two time for bed" she said. They both moaned "But mommy we were watching Lilo & Stitch" Monica rolled her eyes "Yeah for like the hundredth time now scoot go brush your teeth and daddy and I will be in to tuck you in" she told them. Brianna raced to the bathroom while Hannah walked slowly.
Later that night Hannah started to toss and turn in her sleep. She usually dreamt about what happened to Emma but this time her dream was different. She moved around a little more shouting "Daddy!" She sat up and saw she was in her room. She began to cry. The door opened and Chandler walked in. "What's wrong angel" he whispered as he sat down on her bed. "I heard you scream for me" he said. Hannah threw her arms around him and cried even more. "I...I had a bad dream daddy" she cried. "Was it another dream about Emma" he asked softly.
Hannah shook her head. "No it was different" she whimpered. Chandler brushed away a few of her tears "Do you want to tell daddy about it angel" he asked. "Okay" she whispered. "I was in you and mommy's room I was playing with your gun I dropped it, it went off and...and" she stopped and started crying again. "And what sweeite" Chandler asked gently. "It...it was you daddy" she cried "You got hurt not Emma and you went to heaven" She looked at him. " I don't want you to go to...to heaven daddy" she cried.
Chandler took Hannah into his arms and gently rocked her. "Shh its okay angel daddy's here he's not going anywhere okay" he whispered. He felt her nod against his shoulder. He held her until she fell asleep. He gently laid her down and pulled the covers up over her. He watched her sleep for a little bit before leaning down and kissing her forehead. He was leaving the room when Monica startled him.
"Sorry honey I didn't mean to scare you" she whispered. "Is she alright" she asked. Chandler sighed "She had another nightmare" he told her. "About Emma" she asked. "No this one was about me" he said. "You?" Monica asked. He nodded "Yeah she dreamt that I was the one that got shot and I died" he replied. "She said she didn't want me to go to heaven" he whispered as he glanced back at his sleeping daughter. "You might not you might go in the other direction" Monica said laughing slightly trying to cheer him up.
"Mon that's not funny" Chandler said. "I'm sorry honey I was only joking" she whispered as she wrapped her arm around his waist. "I know you were its just well I'm worried about her" he whispered. "She'll be okay" she said. "I had nightmares for awhile after my attack but they eventually stopped" Chandler nodded "I know but she's just a little girl maybe we should take her to a child psychologist " he suggested. Monica looked him. "No I'm not sending my baby to a shrink" she shouted "Why" he asked "After my parents divorce my mom sent me to one and I was about Hannah's age" he said.
"I said no Chandler!" she yell as she turned and ran into her bedroom. Chandler followed her into the bedroom. She was sitting on the edge of the bed crying softly. "Monica" he whispered as he sat down beside her. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you" he said. She looked up at him. "My mom made me see one when I was Hannah's age she said I wasn't a normal kid that my only friend was food" Monica cried "The doctor he was a creep he never helped me he was worse than my mom he...he told me as long as I was fat and ugly nobody would ever love me" she whispered. "I...I don't want our baby to go through that" she cried.
Chandler put his arms around her. "Mon I'm so sorry" he whispered "That doctor was a jerk you were never that fat and you were definitely never ugly" he said as he kissed her softly. "Thank you Chandler" she whispered. "No thanks is needed Monica I love you I'll always love you" he looked at her. "We'll wait awhile but if Hannah's nightmares continue for too long we have to at least think about it okay" he said softly. She nodded "Okay" she whispered "and I love you too Chandler" she said softly.
A few days later Hannah's nightmares were still continuing. Monica and Chandler were at the hospital with Ross and Rachel. They had been visiting Emma. She was asleep so they took this opportunity to go down to the cafeteria to get something to eat. "Ross do you remember when mom made me see that awful child psychologist" He nodded "Yeah wasn't he always making you cry" he replied. "Well Chandler thinks we should take Hannah to see one but I don't know" she said. "Why do you think Hannah needs to see one" Rachel asked Chandler. "She's been having nightmares at first they were about Emma but they've gotten worse she dreams that Monica and I as well as you two and Joey and Pheebs get shot and die" He replied.
Ross looked at his sister and brother in law. "Mon I agree with Chandler it sounds like her nightmares are pretty bad I mean dreaming that the people she loves most are being shot and killed." He said softly. " I went to a child psychologist for my nightmare" he said. "Ross you dreamt that I was gonna eat you" Monica said "My baby is dreaming about us dying and I don't want some doctor making her feel bad because of it" she whispered as tears filled her eyes.
Rachel looked at her best friend "Mon she's a six year old girl that has been through something very traumatic, hell its been traumatic for all of us but we're adults she doesn't know how to deal with it the way we do" she said softly. "If you're really worried about it You and Chandler can go with her" Rachel added. Monica nodded "You're right Rach Thank you" she whispered. "Hey that's what family is for" Rachel said with a small smile.
After their talk with Ross and Rachel Chandler and Monica decided to take Hannah to a child psychologist and they also agreed to accompany her. It had helped Hannah as well as them.
A week later Chandler was sitting on the sofa watching cartoons with Joey and Brianna when Monica walked in with Hannah and Phoebe. Chandler smiled at Hannah "Hey angel did you have fun shopping with Mommy and Aunt Phoebe" he asked. "I had lots of fun daddy" she said as she sat on his lap. "Daddy remember the money you got for turning your gun in at the police station" she said. "Yes I do I gave it to you" he said. "Yep and I brought something with it today" she said with a smile.
Hannah walked over and got a bag from Monica. She walked back over and sat on Chandler's lap. "Here daddy this is for you" she said handing him the bag. Chandler looked inside the bag. He pulled out a Baywatch video and a framed photo of Hannah, Brianna, and Monica and engraved along the bottom of the frame was Chandler's Angels. He looked at Hannah. She smiled. "Mommy said Baywatch was your favorite show and you used to watch it all the time with Uncle Joey and the picture of us the Chandler's Angels was Aunt Phoebe's idea she said there was some old tv show called Charlie's Angels that was also a movie she said it sounded it cute"
Chandler hugged her. "Thank you angel but you were suppose to spend the money on yourself" he said. "I know but I wanted to spend it on you daddy because I love you" she said as she kissed his cheek. "I love you too Angel" he said kissing her cheek. After that night Hannah's nightmares never returned.
