Chapter 4:Meet Christina
It had been a couple of days since Chandler and Monica had found out their daughter was still alive. Monica had left her parents house with out saying a word to her mother.
Monica was very nervous about telling the gang about Christina. She'd already cleaned her apartment twice. She sighed softly as she wandered into her bedroom to change. She heard the door open. She went back out to the living room. She greeted Chandler with a nervous smile. "Hi honey" she said softly. He walked over to her hugging her. "Mon try to relax" he whispered. "These are our friends, our family they'll be shocked at first but it will be okay" he said softly.
Ross walked in with Rachel who was carrying Emma in her baby carrier. Rachel smiled "Hey you two" she said warmly. Monica smiled "Hey Rach" she said. "And hello to you Emma" she giggled kissing her niece's forehead. Joey and Phoebe walked in behind them. "Hey Mon is there any food I'm hungry" Joey whined.
Monica suddenly became more nervous. Chandler noticed and gently took her hand. "Umm Joe we'll eat later okay first Mon and I need to talk to you" he told them. "Oh my God Monica's pregnant!" Phoebe exclaimed. Monica looked at her with wide eyes. "How'd you know" she whispered. Phoebe smiled "I'm psychic remember" she giggled. Everyone started to crowd around her congratulating her.
Chandler gently pulled Monica away. "Guys please Monica is pregnant but" he stopped. "But this isn't my first baby" Monica whispered. The four friends looked at her in shock. "Monica what do you mean" Ross asked her. "I...I have a daughter" she told him. "Where is she and who's the father" Rachel asked. Monica looked at her bestfriend and future sister in law. "Chandler" she whispered.
Ross looked from his sister to his brother in law. "What the hell is going on here" he asked. "If you two have a baby where is she" he added. Monica took a deep breath. "Okay I'm going to tell you guys everything." She said. She looked at Ross and Rachel "Do you remember the Thanksgiving I accidentally cut off Chandler's toe" she asked them. They both nodded. "Well later that night I was in my room crying Chandler came in and we talked then he kissed me" she whispered. She looked at Ross "Then you two went back to NYU and I spoke with Chandler on the phone several times" she said.
Monica knew the next part would be hard. "Chandler came home with you for Christmas to surprise me then on Christmas Eve you were out with Carol and mom and dad went to dad's office Christmas party" she said softly. "So Chandler and I had the house to ourselves and well we...we slept together" she whispered.
Ross glared at Chandler. "Dude you slept with my sister!" he asked. Monica put her hand on Ross's shoulder. "Ross please let me finish" she told him gently. "A month later I found out I was pregnant I never told anyone but mom found out"
"So you slept with my sister and left her alone to take care of YOUR baby" Ross snapped at Chandler. Monica looked at Ross "That's not how it was he never knew about the baby Mom forbid me to talk to or see Chandler" she answered.
Chandler wrapped his arms around Monica. "And If I had known I never would have left Monica alone to care for our child I would have been there for both her and the baby" he said. " I've always loved your sister Ross I'd never do anything to hurt her" he finished.
Monica looked at Rachel "Remember when I told you I was going with my mom to help her care for my sick grandmother" she asked. Rachel nodded. "Yeah' she whispered. "Well I really went away to have my baby, she was born on July 15th 1989 I named her Christina Muriel Bing I heard her cry but I never got to see her" Monica whispered tears starting to fill her eyes. She then turned to Ross "Mom told me my baby had died but she didn't" she whispered. "When we were cleaning out the attic Chandler found some pictures of her and I questioned mom about it Ross, my daughter is living in Long Island" she said. Ross was stunned "Mom did...did that to you" he asked. Monica nodded.
Chandler looked at his friends. "Monica and I are going to meet Christina tomorrow afternoon" he told them "We talked to the Falconers and explained everything to them and we told them we aren't trying to take Christina away from them we just want to get to know her" he added.
Rachel gave Monica a small smile. "I can't believe you gave away your flower and never told me" she said. "I know!" Monica answered. "Believe me I wanted to" she added. "Well I'm glad you got your dream" Rachel said. "What do you mean my dream" Monica asked. "Oh come on Mon you told me all the time how you wanted to give your flower to the man you were going to marry and you did" she said smiling at Chandler. Monica blushed a little at Rachel's statement.
Joey nudged Chandler "So we were roommates for 6 years and friends for 9 years and you couldn't tell me you'd slept with Monica" he said with a grin. "Look Joey I didn't tell anyone okay Monica has always been special to me I wouldn't have felt right bragging about it" Chandler answered.
Chandler and Monica spent the evening answering all of the gangs questions about their relationship and the baby.
The next afternoon Chandler and Monica walked up the path to the door of a nice cozy two story home. Monica squeezed Chandler's hand as she rang the doorbell. The door opened and a girl was standing there. Monica looked at her and then at Chandler. It was their daughter Christina. She had Monica's long dark hair and Chandler's deep blue eyes. "Hi" she said smiling at the couple standing in front of her. She had Chandler's smile too. "Umm hi is your mom home" Monica asked nervously. "Sure" she said. "Mom some couple is here to see you" she hollered.
A woman a few years older than Monica appeared at the door. "Hi we're Monica and Chandler Bing" Monica greeted nervously. Lisa smiled she was nervous too. "I'm Lisa my husband is in the den please come in" she said letting them in. Monica looked around "Wow this a beautiful and very clean home you have" she whispered. Lisa smiled "Thank you Christina keeps it clean she loves to clean" Lisa answered. Chandler smiled "Just like her mother" he thought.
They followed Lisa into the den. "David honey these are the Bings" she told him. He nodded. "Hello I'm Lisa's husband David" he said shaking their hands. "Have a seat and I'll call Christina" He called for her and she came into the room. "Yes daddy" the girl answered. "Sweeite remember on your birthday mom and I told you we adopted you when you were a baby" he asked. She nodded. "Well sweeite this is Chandler and Monica Bing your birth parents." He finished. Christina just stood there looking at the Bings.
