Chapter 13: The Epilogue


Monica stood outside on her balcony enjoying the warm spring breeze. She smiled as she watched Ross in his apartment playing with Emma. He saw her and waved. She waved back. Life had finally gotten back to normal. Mr. Burrows was gone out of her life forever. Chandler was with her and not in jail. On the day of the trial she had been terrified of losing him, terrified that the only way his baby would know him was through a thick glass window.



Monica jumped when she felt two arms wrap around her. "Sorry" Chandler whispered "I didn't mean to scare you guys" he said softly setting his hand on Monica's large stomach. She sighed softly. "No I'm sorry it's been almost 5 months I shouldn't be so jumpy" she answered. "Its okay Mon, you've been through alot and you've gotten alot better" he assured her. She turned to face him. "How can you stand me" she asked. "You almost went to jail because of me" she whispered. "and I still get freaked out when ever you try to touch me or kiss me" she said looking away as she began to cry.




Chandler gently cupped her face. "Monica I love you" he said softly. "I can't think of a time when I didn't love you, I'd kill or be killed for you, I know you've been through hell because of that asshole teacher and I don't care how long it takes you're worth the wait" he told her. Monica looked up at him. His deep blue eyes were full of love. "I love you Chandler so much" she whispered. She was nervous but she didn't let it stop her this time. She leaned in and kissed him. Chandler hesitated at first but then he slowly deepened the kiss.




All of a sudden Monica gasped. Chandler pulled away. "Honey I'm...I'm sorry I was moving too fast wasn't I" he said with concern. Monica shook her head. "No not you contraction" she gasped. "What....why what" he said nervously. Monica giggled as she watched him. "Come on lets go call the gang" she said as she went inside with Chandler right behind her.





Several hours later Monica was in labor and delivery. Chandler sat by her side holding her hand and stroking her hair. The doctor smiled up at her. "Okay Mrs. Bing I want you to push now" she instructed her. Chandler smiled at Monica "Come on honey push" he said softly. She glared at him. "Oh shut up Chandler I so hate you right now" she grunted. Another contraction hit and Monica squeezed Chandler's hand as she pushed. It wasn't long before the cries of a baby could be heard. "Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Bing you have a baby girl" the doctor said placing the baby on Monica's chest.




Monica lightly touched her new daughter's head. "Oh Chandler" she cried. "She's beautiful" she said. Chandler smiled "Yes she is just like her mother" he whispered. As Monica gazed lovingly at her new baby girl images filled her mind. Images of Burrows touching her stomach and threatening the baby. Monica began to cry softly. "Mon honey what's wrong" Chandler asked upon seeing her tears. "She...she could have died and it would have been...my...my fault" she said softly. "Shh Monica its okay you're both fine" he whispered. "and none of it was your fault" he added kissing her softly. "We're here because of you Chandler you saved our lives" she whispered looking down at the baby in her arms. Chandler smiled "I'd do it all over again too" he said.




A little later that day Ross, Rachel, Joey, and Phoebe came in. "Aww how cute" Phoebe giggled when she saw Chandler sitting in the small bed with Monica in his arms and in her arms was their baby. Chandler smiled "Thanks Pheebs, guys come meet Hannah Muriel Bing" he told them. Ross started to laugh. "What's so funny" Monica asked him. "You gave her Chandler's middle name" he said. "Muriel" he said with a giggle. "Dude you're laughing at your niece" Chandler reminded him. That shut him up.



Rachel smiled "Aww Mon she's so beautiful" she said softly. "I know!" Monica exclaimed. Monica smiled "Hey Rach wanna know how I went into labor" she asked. Rachel nodded. "Okay" she answered. "Chandler kissed me" she replied with a grin. "Hey" Rachel whined "That's Ross and I's trick" she whined. Everyone laughed.




Phoebe grinned. "She's a cutie just like her daddy" she said. Chandler grinned "Why thank you Pheebs" he replied. She smiled "Sure" she said. She looked at Joey. "Joey" she whimpered. "When are we gonna have baby" she said grinning at him. "Umm I umm I don't know" he stuttered nervously. Everyone burst into laughter.



Monica sighed happily as she snuggled into Chandler's arms. Everything was perfect. Burrows was gone for good Chandler was with her where he belonged and in her arms was their new daughter. She kissed Chandler taking him by surprise. "I love you Chandler" she whispered "Thank you" she added. "For what" he asked. "For making my dreams come true" she said as she gazed down at baby Hannah. "I love you too Monica" Chandler whispered "and thank you for making my dreams come true too" he added as he looked down at his new daughter in the arms of his true love.
