Summery: Monica and Chandler have a secret, and Monica has one of her own.
Chapter 5: Getting To Know The Bings
Christina just stood there looking at the Bings. "Why are you here" she asked breaking the silence. Monica gave her a small smile. "We're here because we wanted to meet you" she answered. "Yeah right like you'd really want to meet me" Christina snapped. "You got rid of me so why would you want to meet me" she cried. "We didn't get rid of you sweeite we were told you had died after you were born" Chandler told her gently. Christina glared at him. "Could you be lying more" she yelled as she ran from the room in tears.
Lisa ran after her leaving Chandler and Monica with her husband David. He looked at the couple "I'm sorry she's never been this rude before" he told them. Christina had inherited Chandler's sarcasm. "Its okay David" Chandler answered. "I understand how it feels to have parents you think didn't want you" he added. Monica gave Chandler's hand a light squeeze. She knew he'd understand she knew about his awful childhood.
Christina came back in with Lisa behind her. "I'm sorry" she whispered. "Its okay honey" Monica said softly. "I sort of told my bestfriend that I was adopted and she told everybody so now the kids call me baby girl nobody" Christina whispered fighting her tears. Monica nodded "I know how it feels I was, well I was fat when I was a kid and everybody called me Moby Monica, Gross out Geller , and fat cow they'd ask me to moo for them" she said "and my bestfriend Rachel was and still is the biggest gossip I know" she added.
Chandler smiled at Christina it was like looking at a mini Monica. " I know how it feels to have parents you thought didn't want you" he told her. She looked at him. "You were adopted too" she asked. "No but my mother was never around she was too bust writing romance novels and when I was 9 my parents divorced and my dad moved to Vegas I didn't see him again until my wedding day so I spent most holidays and birthdays alone" he told her.
Christina smiled she was starting to like them. "So what do you guys do for a living" she asked. Monica smiled "I'm a chef" she said with pride. Christina giggled "I love to cook I got an A in Home Economics' she informed them. "I work in an office building I work with computers and numbers " Chandler told her. She smiled "Cool I love computers I like surfing the net" she told him. Christina looked at them "Umm can I ask you something" she asked. They both nodded "Anything sweeite" Monica answered. "Do you...you have any kids" she asked. "No but Monica is pregnant" Chandler said setting his hand on her stomach. "Did...did you really think I was dead" she asked
Monica nodded. "Yes sweetie we did because I was so young when I had you my mom thought I would be better off with out you so she told me you had died" she whispered tears filling her eyes. "How old were you" Christina asked. "I was 19 and Chandler was 21" Monica replied. Chandler saw Monica getting upset. "Umm Christina why don't you tell us about yourself" he suggested.
Christina smiled "Okay I'm in 7th grade my favorite subject is science I love dinosaurs" she said. Chandler rolled his eyes "Another Ross" he thought. "My bestfriend's name is Courteney we hang out all the time we both think Brad Pitt and Joey Tribbiani from Days Of Our Lives are total hotties" Christina said blushing a little. Monica smiled "We know Joey he's Chandler's bestfriend they were roommates until he moved in with me" she told her.
Christina looked at her with wide eyes. "No way! You know Joey Tribbiani!!" she exclaimed. Monica and Chandler nodded. "Wow that's so cool" Christina replied. Chandler looked at her. "Maybe you could come over sometime if you want to and you could meet him" he told her. "Really!" she squealed. Chandler nodded "Only if its okay with your mom and dad" he answered. "Oh could I mom please" Christina pleaded. Lisa sighed softly. "I guess its okay honey" she whispered.
Christina hugged Lisa. "Thank you Mom and don't worry I love you" she whispered. Lisa just nodded. "Mom are you mad because I like the Bings" she asked softly. "No honey of course not they are your birth parents I'm glad you like them and you should get to know them sweeite" she said hugging her. Christina turned back to the Bings. "When can I come over" she asked with a smile. Monica smiled "Well is tonight too soon" she asked. "You could come over for a few hours I'll cook dinner and you can me everybody" she added. Christina looked at Lisa. "Can I mom" she asked. Lisa smiled "Sure sweeite if that's what you want" she whispered.
Christina left the room to get her coat and as she did Lisa began to cry. Monica walked over to her. "Lisa" she whispered. "I'm not trying to take her from you please believe me, Chandler and I we just want to know our daughter that's all" she told her. Lisa looked at her. "I...I know you're her mother but I love her, Christina was a gift from god" she whispered. "David and I tried to have a child for 3 years with no luck the doctors we went to said we wouldn't be able to have any children so when we got Christina she meant everything to us" she told her.
Monica hugged her. "I know you love her and you are her mother maybe more than me you've raised her for the past 13 years and even though she was taken from me I'm glad she ended up with such loving parents" Monica said softly. Lisa gave her a small smile. "Thank you" she whispered. "Christina always wanted a sister or brother" she added. Monica smiled "Yes and she's welcome to see him or her any time and so are the two of you" she paused "You guys are welcome to come over for dinner too I'd like you to meet everyone too" she said.
Lisa smiled. "Thank you but maybe some other time this is Christina's time" she answered. Christina came in the room with her jacket and back pack purse. "Ready" she said with a smile. Lisa hugged her "Okay sweeite you behave for the Bings" she whispered. "Don't worry mom I will" she answered. Chandler looked at Lisa "We'll bring her home in a few hours" he told them. "Thank you' she replied. Monica hugged her again. "No thank you and David for everything" she whispered.
Chandler, Monica and Christina left and headed back to their apartment.
