Chapter 2: Where There's A Will There's A Way
Chandler was sitting in his boss's office holding a bunch of papers. "I don't care what you say Doug the papers in my hand say I'm fully covered" he said. "Yeah I know but the company decided to change carriers, I'm sorry the new policy won't cover the surgery" Doug informed him. "This is my son we're talking about" Chandler said raising his voice a little. "I know and it sucks all I can say is try appealing it" Doug said. "Fine I will" Chandler said as he stood up and left the office.
Monica was at work. Daniel was all she could think about. She tried to keep busy so she wouldn't start crying again. She sighed as she dropped two lobsters into a pot of boiling water. Someone tapped her shoulder. She turned to see the waitresses Mona, Lindsey, Carla and the waiters Derek and Steve. "Monica" Mona said softly. "We heard about Daniel and we want you to have this" she said handing her an envelope. Monica looked inside and saw money. "Its our tips from the last few days I know its not much but we want you to have it" Mona told her. Silent tears ran down her face. "Thank you" she whispered hugging her.
Chandler walked into Central Perk to grab a cup of coffee before going to pick up Hannah from daycare. "Cup of coffee to go Gunther " he said. Gunther handed him the coffee but wouldn't take his money. "Its on the house and this is for Daniel" he said handing Chandler 2 hundred dollar bills. Gunther I...I can't" Chandler started "Yes you can Chandler you and Monica have been coming in here forever you're my best customers" Gunther told him. "Thank you Gunther" Chandler whispered putting the money in his pocket.
A little later he walked into Hannah's daycare. "Hi Melissa" he greeted the daycare teacher. "Hi Mr. Bing I'll get Hannah for you" she said. She walked away and came back a few minutes later with Hannah in her arms. "Daddy" the little girl squealed. Chandler took Hannah from Melissa's arms. "Hey angel" he whispered kissing her cheek. "Umm Mr. Bing this is from me and all the parents who bring their kids here" she said softly handing him an envelope. "Its for Daniel we're all praying for him" she whispered. "Thank you Melissa" Chandler whispered as he hugged the young woman.
Chandler walked into his apartment with Hannah. Monica was sitting at the kitchen table with Rachel and Emma and Isabella were playing in the front room. He set Hannah down and she ran over to her cousins. He walked over and kissed Monica. "Look at this Mon, Gunther gave me money for Daniel and so did Melissa and the parents from Hannah's daycare" he said showing her the money. "The waitresses and waiters did too they gave me their tips" she replied. Chandler sat down at the table with Monica and Rachel and added up the money. He sighed softly. "3,500 dollars" he whispered "We still need so much more" he added.
Emma had been watching her uncle counting money. She heard him say it wasn't enough. She grabbed her back pack and pulled out her dinosaur bank. She walked over to the table. "Uncle Chandler" she whispered. "Yes sweeite" he answered. "Here its all my birthday and Christmas money you can have it for Daniel" she whispered. Chandler couldn't believe his 9 year old niece's jester. His eyes filled with tears. "Oh Emms that's so sweet" he whispered "But I can't take your money" he added. "Please uncle Chandler" she whispered her eyes getting watery. "I don't want Daniel to die" she said as she shoved the bank into her uncle's hand. Chandler hugged her. Monica and Rachel had tears in their eyes too as they watched them.
There was a knock on the door. Monica got up and opened the door to see her nephew Ben standing there. "Hi aunt Monica" he said. "Hey Ben what brings you here" she asked as she let him in. "I wanted to see how you were and I wanted to give you this" he said handing Monica an envelope. "I was saving up for a car but I want you and uncle Chandler to have it for Daniel" he said. "Ben you...you don't have to do that" she whispered. "I know but I wanted to I mean you and uncle Chandler have always done so much for me and I love Daniel he's my little cousin ad he's a great little kid" he said softly. Monica hugged him. "Thank you Ben " she whispered.
Isabella was feeling left out. Her big sister and big brother gave money she wanted to too. She waked over to Chandler. "Uncle Chandler" she said softly. "Yes Bell" he asked. "I want you to have this for Daniel" she reached into her pocket and handed him two crumpled dollar bills "Its my tooth fairy money" she said. Chandler smiled and kissed her cheek. "Thank you honey" he said.
Phoebe walked in with one year old Lily. She walked over to the table and set some money down. "Its all the tips from my massage clients I want you guys to have it" she said. "Thank you Pheebs" Monica said hugging her friend. Joey came in with the twins. They ran over to play with the other kids. He walked over to the table where everyone else was. "This is for you guys" he said handing Chandler some money. "One of the actors at Days heard about Daniel and started a collection" he said. Monica kissed him on the cheek. "We know that actor was you, thank you Joey" she whispered.
Ross walked in. He set his briefcase down and walked over to his sister. "My students heard about my nephew and they all pulled together" he told them. "Here this is for you" he said handing her some money. Monica couldn't take it anymore she burst into tears. Chandler got up and wrapped his arms around her. "This is too much our nieces, nephew, our bestfriends, even strangers all wanting to help our Daniel" she cried. "I know he's one lucky little boy having so many people who love him, who love us" he said kissing the top of her head.
Later that night Chandler recounted the money. They now had 7,000 dollars still no where near enough. Over the next few days Chandler decided to sell some of his stuff. He sold his lap top, his baraclounger which was hard for him to do and his Ms. Pacman arcade game which was even harder because it had been a wedding gift from Phoebe. When he told her he had sold it he had tears in his eyes. She hugged him and told him that Daniel meant more to her than some game she'd given him. Monica offered to sell her engagement ring but Chandler wouldn't let her. She insisted she was okay with it because as long as she had him and the kids she would be alright. He told her it meant alot to him that she'd offered but he still wouldn't let her do it.
A few days later Monica was at the hospital with Daniel when Dr. Perry came in. He told Monica there was nothing more they could do for Daniel and he was going to be released later that morning. She called Chandler at work in tears. "Mom sweeite what's wrong is...is it Daniel" Chandler asked when her heard her tearful voice. "They're releasing him Chandler they're releasing Daniel this morning" she cried. "What! No they can't do that I gave them money there must be some mistake" he answered. "Dr. Perry told me there was nothing else they could do and he was being released this morning" Monica whimpered. "You have to do something Chandler" she cried "Please do something do anything you can" Monica cried. "I will honey I will" he said as he hung up.
Chandler sat there staring at the picture of him and Monica with the kids on their laps. He ran his finger over Daniel's face. "Don't worry son dad won't let you down" he whispered. He couldn't stay there he had to find a way to save his son. He looked at the picture one last time before leaving his office.
