Title: Heartache
Summery: A day of shopping turns tragic for Monica.
Chapter 3: Have You Seen Me
Monica woke up the next morning and went into the nursery hoping to see Hannah laying in her crib. Hoping yesterday had been just a bad dream. The crib was empty her baby was really gone. She sat in the rocker next to the crib and burst into tears. Chandler woke up to find Monica's side of the bed empty. He knew she was in the nursery. He could hear her soft muffled crying over the baby intercom that sat on the night stand. He got out of bed and headed to the nursery.
"Monica" he whispered as he knelt down in front of the rocker where she sat. She looked up at him. Her face was all red and puffy from crying. "I...I was hoping it was all a bad dream and she'd be in her crib sleeping" she cried. Chandler gently pulled her off the rocker into his embrace. "I want her back Chandler, I want our baby back" Monica cried into his shoulder. "I know so do I" he whispered as tears filled his eyes too.
The sound of the front door opening startled them. "Chandler, Monica you guys here" Rachel called out. They brushed their tears away and got up. Rachel and Ross were in the living room. Emma was in Ross's arms. Seeing her caused Monica to start crying again. "Mon what's wrong" Ross asked. "Hannah is...is" she couldn't finish. Chandler wrapped his arms around her and she hid her face in his chest. "Ross, Hannah was kidnapped" he whispered. Both Rachel and Ross gasped. "Wh...what?! When" Ross asked. "Yesterday while Monica and Phoebe were shopping someone took her from the cart" he said as tears filled his eyes again.
"Have you called the police" Rachel asked. Chandler nodded "Yeah they're going to talk to you" he said. "Us! They think we took our niece" Ross asked. "No they just want to talk to anyone who's around the baby alot they want to talk to Joey, your parents and my parents too" he told him.
Joey and Phoebe came into the apartment. "Pheebs just told me about Hannah" Joey said. "I...I don't know what to say" he whispered as he looked at his best friend. "You don't have to say anything Joe just being here is enough" Chandler said. Chandler just wanted this to all be over. He wanted Hannah home safe and sound. "Ross do you think you can call your parents Monica is too upset" he said. Ross nodded. He picked up the phone and dialed his patents number. A few minutes later he hung up as he brushed away his tears. "They're on their way" he whispered.
Chandler called his mom and she too said she was on her way. He was unable to get a hold of his dad so he left a message to have him call his son and that it was urgent.
Monica's parents arrived a few minutes later. "Monica how could this happen" Judy asked. "Did you care more about your shopping than your daughter" she asked. Monica's eyes filled with tears as she ran from the room. Chandler glared at his mother in law before following his wife.
Jack looked at his wife. "Judy how could you do that to our little Harmonica she was already upset enough" he said. "If she had been watching Hannah this wouldn't have happened" she said. "She's a bad parent" she added. "Monica is not a bad parent Judy she loves her baby" he replied. "When Monica was little I lost her at the zoo does that make me a bad parent" he asked. "Jack that's different she ran off because Ross wanted to see the monkeys and she didn't" she said. "Plus you found her by the elephants eating peanuts" she added
Monica was curled up on the bed sobbing into her pillow when Chandler walked in. "Mon" he whispered "Don't listen to your mom" he said softly. "She's right Chandler I let someone take our daughter" she cried. "It's my fault" she sobbed. He sat down on the bed and took her in his arms. "It wasn't your fault Mon" he whispered. She looked up at him. Why...why don't you blame me" She asked. "Your daughter is missing because of me" she whimpered. "No our daughter is missing because some sick person took her" he whispered. "And I don't blame you because it wasn't your fault , you love Hannah she's the baby you waited all your life for" He said gently. "Thank you" she whispered as she laid her head on his shoulder.
Nora Bing arrived along with Officers Boscorelli and Yokas. "Where's Chandler" Nora asked. "He's in the bedroom with Monica" Ross said. "Can some one go get them" Officer Yokas asked. Ross nodded and walked over to the bedroom. He knocked lightly and walked in. He saw his sister crying on her husband's shoulder. He felt for them. He knew he'd go crazy if it were Ben or Emma that was missing. "Umm Chandler your mom is here and there's two police officers asking for you guys" he said softly.
Chandler and Monica followed Ross out of the room. Monica took Chandler's hand squeezing it gently. Nora embraced them both in a hug. "I'm so sorry" she whispered. "Thank you" Monica said softly. "Don't worry darling she'll be back in your arms before you know it" she said trying to reassure her daughter in law. "I...I wish everyone would stop saying that because nobody can say that for sure" she cried. Nora took a deep breath. "I know honey" she whispered "I know how you feel" she added. "How Nora how could you possibly know how I feel" Monica cried. "Because it...it happened to me" she said.
Monica looked at her with wide eyes. "W...what!?" she whispered as she sat down on the sofa. Nora sat down beside her. "Chandler was 2years old and he was always a very impatient child he kept asking me to see the toys" she said. "I kept telling him to wait that mommy wasn't finished looking at what she wanted to look at" A few tears filled her eyes. "He...he climbed out of the cart and went off to look for the toys on his own when I noticed he was gone I freaked out" She brushed away a tear. " I couldn't find him anywhere it was the worst 72 hours of my life and of course Charles blamed me for it" she said. "I got Chandler back and you'll get Hannah back too" she said softly.
Monica looked from Nora to Chandler. "How come you never told me" she asked him. "Honestly, I don't even remember it" he told her. She looked back at Nora. "How...how'd you get him back" she asked. "The police called and told us they had our son we never did find out who had him" she told her. Monica hugged Nora. "Thank you for telling me" she said.
Some time later after Officers Boscorelli and Yokas talked to everyone they told Monica and Chandler they wanted to talk to them. "I know how hard this is Mrs. Bing" Faith said softly. "But I need a recent photo of Hannah and I also wanted to ask if you though about appearing on tv" She said. "Tv why would we want to be on tv" she asked. "Well sometimes a kidnapper will see the parents on tv pleading for the safe return of their child and they'll turn themselves in" Faith answered. Monica squeezed Chandler's hand "Lets do it" she said. "Chandler looked at her. "Honey are you sure" he asked. She nodded "Yes it could help us get our baby back" she said.
Chandler and Monica told Officers Yokas and Boscorelli to set it up and they'd do it.
