Chapter 10: Home Again
Monica gasped. She was stunned to see Richard standing there with Hannah in his arms. "Hannah!" she cried. The baby smiled and giggled when she saw her mommy. Monica reached for her but he wouldn't let her take her. "Not yet" Richard whispered. "Can we talk first" he asked. "Richard I...I" she started. "Please Monica" he pleaded. She sighed softly. "Okay what is it" she asked. "No not here, in the hall" he replied. "I don't think that's a good idea" she whispered. "It will be just for a minute" he said. "Fine" she said stepping out to the hallway closing the door behind her.
"Okay Richard what is it" she asked. "I love you Monica" he started. "Richard you know I" He stopped her. "Wait please let me finish" he said. "I love you and I think I always will" he said softly. "That night when Chandler came to my apartment looking for you and he said he planned to propose I told him to go get you and never let you go but inside it was killing me" He looked at her. "I wanted you to chose me" he said. "When I received an invitation to your wedding I thought about going and trying to stop it" he admitted.
Monica looked at him. W...what!?" she whispered. He nodded "I decided not to so I crumbled up the invitation and threw it away." He said. "Then one day I'm playing racquetball with Jack and he says oh did I tell you Chandler and Monica are excepting a baby I stared at him Monica's pregnant I mumbled and he nodded" He looked at her "Again my heart was broken and I felt like I was dying inside" He paused to shift Hannah to the other arm and take Monica's hand. "I hate him Monica, I know its wrong of me to say but I do" he whispered "He took my place in your life and in your heart" He whispered "So when I saw you and Phoebe at Bloomingdales I decided to get back at him let him see how it feels to lose someone you love" he finished.
Monica couldn't believe all the stuff he'd revealed to her. "Richard you say you love me" she whispered. "I do" he replied. "So shouldn't that mean you'd want be to be happy" she asked. He nodded "Yes" he answered. "Well Chandler makes me happy" she told him. "I know but I want you to be happy with me" he whispered. Monica sighed. "Richard I'm sorry I hurt you, you could have been the one to make me happy but you broke my heart by saying you didn't want children" she paused "You know how much you're hurting right now, Well take that and double it and that's how badly I was hurting" she said as she began to cry softly.
Richard looked at her. "Monica, honey I'm sorry I hurt you but I'm here now I'll make it up to you, we can run away together you, me and Hannah" he said. "No" Monica cried. "I'm not leaving Chandler for you or anyone else" she whispered. "He's my soulmate, my prince, and my bestfriend" she said. "I love him Richard and you need to except that and move on" she cried. "Now may I please have my baby" she asked holding her arms out. Richard sighed softly. "Alright" he said handing Hannah to her mother. Just as Monica cuddled her baby in her arms Officers Yokas and Boscorelli came up the stairs.
"Dr. Richard Burke" Yokas asked. He nodded. Monica held Hannah. She cried softly as she watched them handcuff Richard. "Officer Yokas" Monica whispered. "Yes Mrs. Bing" she answered. Don't...don't be ...too hard on him, he did bring Hannah back safe and unharmed" she said softly. Yokas nodded. "Don't worry Mrs. Bing we'll take that into consideration" she replied. Richard glanced back at Monica one last time as they led him down the stairs. "I love you Monica always" he shouted.
Monica walked back into her apartment. Chandler saw her standing there crying with Hannah in her arms. She looked at him. "Was...was it you" she asked. "Was what me" he whispered. "Did you call Yokas and Boscorelli" she asked. He nodded. "I heard you out in the hall talking to him" he said softly. "Oh" she whispered. "I...I told them not to be too hard on him he did bring her back" she said looking away from him. He gently brushed a tear from her cheek. "That's okay honey I know that you loved him once" he whispered as he pulled her into his arms. "You okay Mon" he asked when she hadn't stopped crying. "I'm fine Chandler I'm with you and our Hannah is home where she belongs" she whispered as she held on to her husband and daughter.
