Title: When We Were Young
Summery: Monica and Chandler have a secret, and Monica has one of her own.
Chapter 8: A Whole New Life
Chandler and Monica brought Christina home with them. She had cried most of the time. Monica sighed softly. "Come on sweeite you can sleep in Rachel's old room." she whispered. "But isn't that the baby's room" Christina asked. "Yeah it will be but he or she doesn't mind sharing" Monica answered with a small smile. Christina sighed. "Okay" she whispered as she silently walked to the spare bedroom. She sat down on the bed and burst into tears
Monica walked in. She saw her crying. "Christina" She whispered. "Here's some stuff for you to sleep in" she said softly. She handed her a pair of her sweat pants and one of Chandler's tee shirts. "Thank you" Christina whispered taking them from her. "I'll let you change" Monica standing up and leaving her alone in the room. Christina had a hard time getting the sweats over her cast but she was finally able to get them on. She slipped the tee shirt over her head grabbed her crutches and made her way out to the living room.
"Monica" she whispered. "Yes honey" Monica asked looking up at her. "Do you" she paused. "Do I what" Monica asked. "Nothing you'll think I'm being a baby" she whispered. "No I won't sweeite" Monica assured her. "Okay, do...do you have a stuffed animal I can sleep with I have one at home my dad gave me when I was little and when ever I'm sick, scared or sad it makes me feel better" she said softly. Monica frowned "I'm sorry sweeite I don't have any" she told her. "Oh okay" Christina whispered sadly.
Chandler stood up and walked to his bedroom. He dug around in the closet until he found what he was looking for. He walked back out to the living room. "Christina" he whispered. She looked at him. "What" she said softly. "I have a stuffed animal you can have" he said showing her an old teddy bear. "His name is Bingabear I've had him since I was 5 years old he kept me company when I was alone which was most of my childhood" he told her as he handed it to her.
Christina gave him a small smile. "Thank you Chandler" she whispered. "You're welcome honey" he answered. "I...I think I'll go to bed now" she whispered. She hugged Monica. "Night Monica" she whispered. "Night sweeite and if you need us for anything don't be afraid to wake us up okay" Monica said hugging her. Christina then hugged Chandler. "Night Chandler thanks again for Bingabear" she said softly. "Night sweetheart and you're welcome" he whispered hugging her. They watched her limp back to the bedroom closing the door behind her.
A few days later Christina was getting ready to attend her parents funeral. She sighed as she looked at her self in the mirror. She pulled at her dark skirt. She took a deep breath and walked out of the bedroom. She gasped when she saw Chandler, Monica, Ross, Rachel, Joey and Phoebe. They were all dressed in dark clothes. "Guys" she whispered. "You don't have to come" she said. Joey walked over to her. "We know but we want to" he whispered. "We all knew your parents we want to say goodbye as well as being there for you sweeite" he told her. Christina looked at them. "Thank you" she whispered. She was secretly relieved to know they'd all be there with her.
After the funeral things changed for Christina. She moved in with Chandler and Monica. She brought her stuff from her old room. She was living in a room that wasn't hers. She missed her old room. She was changing schools which she hated. She didn't want to leave her old school and her bestfriend Courteney.
Christina sighed as she got ready for her first day at her new school. "Christina hurry up you're gonna be late" Monica called out. Christina grabbed her book bag and slowly made her way to the kitchen table sitting down next to Chandler. "Chandler's gonna take you to school today" Monica said as she set a plate of pancakes in front of her. "I'm not hungry" Christina whispered. Monica sighed "Fine but at lease drink some juice" she said setting a glass of orange down. "No" Christina cried throwing the glass. "I don't want breakfast, I don't want juice, and I don't want Chandler taking me to school" she cried as she ran back to her room. Tears filled Monica's eyes as she knelt down and began to clean the mess.
Chandler got up and walked to Christina's room. He knocked lightly before walking in. Christina was sitting on her bed crying. "Christina" he whispered. "What" she cried. "What was that all about" he asked sitting down beside her. "I miss my old room, I miss Courteney, I...I miss my mom and dad" she cried. Chandler sighed softly. "I know you do sweeite" he whispered. "Christina can I ask you something" he asked. She nodded. "Do you like Monica and I" he asked. She looked up at him. "No Chandler I love you and Monica" she whispered. Chandler smiled "We love you too, we know how hard this must be for you, its hard for us too" he said softly. "We all have to adjust to new things" he added.
Christina sighed. "why did my mom and dad have to die why'd everything have to change" she whispered. Chandler brushed away her tears "I don't know honey" he whispered. "Can you do me a favor" he asked. Christina nodded. "Monica's pretty upset" he said softly. "Would you go talk to her let her know you two are okay" he asked. "Okay" she whispered. "She probably hates me though" she added. "No she doesn't" Chandler assured her. "Monica's not that type of person she's got a big heart she's just real emotional right now with the pregnancy and what's happening with you" he told her.
Christina gave him a small smile. "Thank you Chandler" she whispered as she hugged him. "You're welcome sweetheart" he replied hugging her. She got up and walked out to the living room. She saw Monica in the kitchen washing dishes. She walked over to her. "Monica" she whispered. Monica turned around and Christina could tell she'd been crying. "I'm sorry Monica" she cried. "I never meant to make you cry" she whimpered. Monica hugged her. "Shh its okay honey" she whispered. "No its not I yelled at you and threw a glass" she cried. "I...I could have hurt the baby" she added. "Sweeite the baby and I are fine" Monica told her. "I know how hard it must be for you to adjust to a new home and a new school, everyone gets upset sometimes, hell I love Chandler with all my heart but sometimes I get upset with him" she said softly.
Christina looked at her. "Thank you Monica" she whispered. "I love you" she said. "I promise to try to be better" she cried. Monica hugged her. "I love you too Christina and I know you will" she whispered.
Chandler had been watching them from the other room. He smiled as he watched them hug. He hoped it meant that things would get better for Christina.
