Chapter 10: Make Room For Baby



A few months had passed. Mandy and her crew still picked on Christina but she learned to ignore them and had even made a few friends.



Christina walked in and set her backpack on the table. Monica came out of the bedroom. Christina smiled "Hey Monica this is my friend Andrea, Andrea this is Monica and this" she said setting her hand on Monica's big stomach "Is baby Bing" she told her. Andrea smiled. "Hello Mrs. Bing" she said softly. Monica smiled. "Hi are you in Christina's class" she asked. Andrea nodded. "Yeah we sit next to each other" she answered. "We're gonna do our homework" Christina said grabbing her backpack. "Okay dinner is in an hour Andrea is welcome to stay if she wants" Monica said heading to the kitchen.



Christina and Andrea were laying on her bed doing their homework and listening to the radio. They heard a crash in the kitchen. Christina jumped off the bed and out to the living room. She saw Monica in the kitchen leaning over the sink and a broken casserole dish was on the floor. "Monica what's wrong" she cried. Monica looked up at her. "Contraction" she whispered. "What!" Christina exclaimed. "I'm calling Chandler" she said picking up the phone. "Damn" she shouted. "Christina" Monica questioned. "He already left I...I'm getting Joey" Christina said as she ran out the door.




Christina came back dragging Joey with her. Monica looked at him. "Mon are...are you really in labor" he asked. She nodded as another contraction hit. Joey grabbed her hand. "We better get you to the hospital" he told her. "Christina grab my bag and leave Chandler a note" Monica whispered. She nodded and did as she was told. She grabbed Andrea "Come with us" she said Andrea nodded and followed them out.




Sometime later Christina and Andrea sat in the waiting area with Phoebe, Rachel and Joey. They had been in the room with Monica but the doctor would only let Ross stay because he was her brother. Chandler ran in out of breath. "Where's Monica' he asked as he tried to catch his breath. Christina sighed softly. "She's in room 344" she whispered. Chandler nodded and raced down the hall.




Rachel could tell something was bothering her. "Christina what's wrong" she asked. "The last time I was here my mom and dad died" she whispered. "Honey
are you worried about Monica" Rachel asked. Christina nodded. "She...she was crying and in so much pain I don't want to lose another mom" she cried. "Oh honey Monica's gonna be fine I was the same way with Emma, having a baby is very painful I promise you she'll be fine" she said hugging her.





Several hours passed and Christina was still worried but not as much as before. She smiled when she saw Chandler dressed in scrubs walking toward them. He smiled. "Its a girl a beautiful baby girl" he said beaming with pride. "A niece I have a niece" Ross exclaimed. "Me too!" Rachel giggled. "Me three!" Phoebe added. Everyone got up and followed Chandler. Christina sighed softly. "I'm their niece too" she thought.




The group walked in and Monica was nursing her new daughter. "Wow that kid's really going to town" Joey giggled. Rachel playfully hit him. "Hi guys" Monica whispered. "Meet our daughter Hannah Marie Bing" she said. Everyone gushed over the newest member of the Bing family. "Can you guys believe it I have a daughter" Chandler said with a smile. "I know!" Monica replied. Christina sighed sadly as she quietly left the room.




Andrea followed her. Christina where are you going" she asked. "They don't need me in there they have the daughter they really want, the niece they really want" she whispered tears filling her eyes. "That's not true you're their daughter too I mean you told me the Bings were your real parents right" she asked. "They are but they haven't been in my life for 13 years then my parents died and they were forced to take me" she told her. "Christina that's stupid they love you" Andrea told her. "I thought they did but now I'm not so sure" she whispered.





A few days passed. Monica and baby Hannah came home. For the first few days all Hannah did was cry. Christina woke up to loud crying. "Damn it why does that brat have to sleep in here" she mumbled. She sat up and looked into the crib. "Shut up" she yelled "Some of us need our sleep" she screamed. She got out of bed and picked up the crying baby. "Shut up, shut up, shut up" she yelled. She pounded on Chandler and Monica's bedroom door. When they didn't answer she walked in. She saw them all cuddle together sleeping. She set the crying baby in between them and left slamming the door behind her.




Monica and Chandler both woke up. Monica picked up the baby. "Shh its okay Mommy's here" she whispered. She began to nurse her and her crying stopped. Chandler watched them for a minute. "Honey I'm gonna go talk to Christina" he said getting out of bed. He didn't bother to knock he walked in turning on the light. "Turn that off" Christina yelled shielding her eyes. Chandler sat down on the bed. "No not till we talk" he said. Christina moaned. "Jeez Chandler its 2 in the morning can't it wait" she whined. "No it can't" he said. "What's going on with you Christina you've been acting different lately towards Monica and I towards everyone" he said.





Christina sat up. "I'm surprised you noticed" she grumbled. "Look you've been mouthing off to Monica and I alot and Hannah she's just a baby and you just come in there throw her on the bed and leave with out telling us she's there what if we has rolled over on her" he whispered. "So what" she smirked. "What do you have against a week old little baby" he asked. "Nothing" she said. "Come on Christina what's going on" he asked. She glared at him. "What the hell do you care Chandler!" she yelled "Just go away and leave me alone" she yelled.





Monica walked in with Hannah sleeping in her arms. "Shh stop being so loud before you wake her again" she whispered as she set the baby in the crib. "Oh God forbid she should get woke up" Christina snapped. "Don't yell at your mother like that young lady" Chandler said raising his voice a little. "She's not my mother she's Hannah mother, my mother is dead!" Christina cried as she ran from her room.



Monica sat down on the bed and began to cry. Chandler was pretty upset at Christina's outburst. He followed Christina. She was about to run out of the apartment. He gently grabbed her arm. "Why....why would you say that Christina do you like to see Monica cry because that's what she's doing" he snapped. "I said it because its true Hannah is here because you wanted her because you and Monica love each other I'm here because I was forced on you by my dying mother" she cried. Chandler looked at her. "Honey that is not true you're here because Monica and I love you" he whispered. "Then...then why was everyone talking about Hannah like I didn't exist" she whispered. "What are you talking about" he asked.



Christina sighed softly. "Ross, Rachel, and Phoebe said I have a niece not I have another niece and you" she whispered. "I what" he asked gently. "You said can you believe I have a daughter and then Monica said I know" she cried. "Oh sweeite no one meant to hurt you we all love you, its just Monica was alone when you were born none of us got to be there" he whispered. "Really" she asked.




"Really" Monica whispered "Honey we're sorry we made you feel left out we never meant to hurt you and Chandler's right you're here because we love you and we want you here not because anyone forced us to" she added. Christina threw her arms around her. "I'm sorry mom" she cried. Monica was shocked that she'd called her mom but she didn't say anything. "Its okay sweeite" Monica whispered. Christina hugged Chandler too. "I'm sorry dad" she whispered. Chandler was surprised too. "Its alright honey" he told her. "I love you both" Christina cried. "We love you too sweeite" they said.
