Summery: A day of shopping turns tragic for Monica.



Chapter 9: Decisions


Richard unlocked the door and walked into the familiar house. A woman about Monica's age walked up to him. "Dad where have you been that baby is driving me nuts" she said. "I'm sorry Michelle I shouldn't have left her here you have your own kids to deal with. " he replied. "Who's baby is she dad" she asked. He sighed. "Monica's" he told her. "Monica's" she said. "You don't mean Monica Geller do you" she asked. He nodded. "Oh my God dad is that baby my...my sister" she asked. "She should have been" he said as he walked into the living room where Hannah sat crying.



Michelle followed him. "What is that suppose to mean" she asked. "It means I'm not her father but I should have been" he said as he picked up Hannah and bounced her gently in his arms. "Dad" she whispered "Who's...who's the father" she asked. "Chandler Bing" he whispered. He hated saying that man's name. He took the life he should have been living with Monica. "The...the guy Monica chose over you" Michelle asked gently knowing that Monica 's relationship was a delicate subject for her father. He nodded.



The pieces were all coming together. Michelle looked at him. "Daddy" she whispered tears filling her eyes. "Did...did you steal Monica's baby" she asked. Richard nodded. "Oh Daddy how could you" she cried. "It'll be okay honey" he whispered hugging his daughter. "I...I'm giving her back" he told her. He kissed her forehead. "Don't worry everything will be okay" he said as he headed to the door. "I love you Michelle" he said as he left. "I Love you too Daddy" she said closing the door behind him.



Sometime later there's a knock on Chandler and Monica's door. Monica opens it and gasps when she sees Richard standing there with Hannah in his arms.
