I was watching last night's episode of ER and got the idea for this fic. It takes place in the near future. Chandler and Monica are married and they have a newborn daughter. Rachel didn't move out her and Ross are engaged Emma is about a year old. Phoebe did break up with Mike and started dating Joey soon after they live together.

Chapter 2: Never Give Up
Monica followed Chandler's gurney to the trauma room but she was stopped from going in. Ross had followed Rachel's gurney but he too was stopped from going in. They stood there along with Phoebe all of them crying for their friends, their family. A nurse with blonde/brown hair approached them. "Hi I'm Abby I'll take you to the waiting area" she said softly. They nodded and followed even though none of them really wanted to.
In trauma room one a doctor and several nurses worked on Rachel. "We need her chest film stat!" shouted the tall dark haired doctor. "I'm on it Dr. Carter" a slim African American nurse responded as she left the room. She returned seconds later handing him the chest film. "Here it is Dr. Carter" she told him. "Thank you Haleh" he said as he studied the film. "The bullet is in her lung someone page Corday or Ramono" Carter ordered.
In trauma room 2 two doctors and several nurses worked on Chandler. "He needs to be intubated!" the blonde doctor shouted. "Get me an intubation tray" she added. "Here you go Dr. Lewis" the small blonde nurse said. "Thank you Lydia" Susan said as she intubated Chandler. All of a sudden the heart monitor sounded. "Damn it we're losing him! " Susan shouted. "Pratt get the defibulater and charge the paddles to 200" she shouted to the young African American doctor assisting her. "Someone page Corday or Ramono" Susan shouted. She placed the paddles on Chandler's chest. "Clear!" she shouted as she shocked him.
In the waiting room Monica, Ross and Phoebe paced unable to sit still. Monica twisted the wedding and engagement rings on her finger. She knew she had to call Nora but she decided to wait until she had some news. Phoebe was terrified for her friends but she was also concerned about Joey he was suppose to be at Central Perk. Ross felt helpless he finally had everything he dreamed of Rachel was going to be his wife and they had Emma but now the only woman he's loved since he was 15 was fighting for her life and so was his bestfriend since college now his brother in law.
"Why won't they tell us anything" Monica cried breaking the silence. "I hate not knowing" she whimpered. "I know Mon ,I know" Ross whispered walking over and embracing his sister in a hug. They clung to each other as they both broke down into sobs. Phoebe watched them and she too began to cry. She had to get her mind off of this whole horrible nightmare. She switched on the tv in the small room. She flipped through the stations. She settled on an old episode of Will and Grace. A few minutes into the program it was interrupted with a special report. Central Perk appeared on the small screen. The reporter called it the scene of a massacre where 3 people were killed and 4 more were critically injured.
A short balding doctor walked into trauma room one. "Give me the bullet" he shouted to Carter. "Dr. Ramono we have a 31 year old woman with a GSW to the chest" he answered. Ramono examined Rachel. He called upstairs and told Shirley to get OR 2 ready and pushed Rachel's gurney from the room to the elevator.
Susan was still shocking Chandler's heart. "Come on don't give up" she whispered. She glanced at the gold ring on his hand. "Live for your wife" she added shocking him again. This time the heart monitor beeped. "Yes we have a rhythm!" Susan said. A doctor with long curly hair up in a ponytail came in. "Susan what do we have" she asked. "32 year old male GSW to the chest" Susan replied. "We almost lost him the bullet is lodged pretty close to his aorta" she added. Elizabeth nodded. She called upstairs and told Shirley to get OR 1 ready for her. She pushed Chandler's gurney from the room to the elevator.
Susan and Carter stripped off their bloody gowns and gloves disposing of them. They left the trauma rooms and headed for the waiting room. They saw a woman on the sofa watching the tv as silent tears ran down her face and a couple hugging each other. "Excuse me we're looking for Mrs. Bing and Mr. Geller" Susan said. Monica pulled away from Ross "I...I'm Mrs. Bing and he's Mr. Geller" she said pointing at Ross. "Mrs. Bing I'm Dr. Susan Lewis I treated your husband in the ER" Susan told her.
"How is he, how's Chandler" Monica asked. "He had a very critical wound Mrs. Bing, the bullet is very close to his heart" she told her. "Oh my God" Monica cried. "Is...is he going to be okay" she asked. "He had to be rushed to surgery but with the location of the bullet its a very delicate operation" Susan said gently. "Are you saying there's a chance he won't make it out of the operation" Monica asked. Susan sighed softly and nodded. "I'm sorry Mrs. Bing I wish the news were better but yes there is a small chance he won't make it." She whispered. Monica crumbled to the floor in sobs. Phoebe raced to her side.
Ross wanted to comfort his sister but he needed to know about Rachel. "Excuse me how's Rachel Green" he asked. "I'm Dr. John Carter I treated your wife in the ER" Carter told them. Ross nodded. He didn't bother to tell the doctor she wasn't his wife yet. "She had a GSW to the chest, the bullet is in her lung she's been taken to surgery as well" he told him. "Is...is she going to be okay" Ross asked "Her injury was severe but as long as there's no complications she should be fine" Carter said. "We have to get back to the ER but I'll have Abby show you up to the OR waiting room" Carter told the trio as he and Susan left.
Phoebe helped Monica up. "I...I should call Nora, Chandler's her son she should be here in case he....he" Monica stopped as she began to sob again. Ross wrapped his arms around his sister. "Its okay Mon I...I'll take care of it" he told her. "He can't die Ross I can't lose him" she sobbed. "Shh its going to be okay Mon he'll be fine" Ross whispered. Abby walked in. "I'll show you up to the OR waiting room" she said. Ross kept his arm around Monica as they and Phoebe followed her upstairs.
Ross made sure Monica would be okay with Phoebe and he left to find a phone to call Nora and his parents.
Joey glanced at his watch. He was over an hour late. Phoebe was gonna kill him. He got held up at the Days set. He tried to call her cell phone but she must have had it off. He rounded the corner and saw all the squad cars and news vans parked outside Central Perk. "Oh my God Pheebs" he said as he started to run towards the coffee house. He looked inside. He saw yellow police tape around the entrance and inside. He noticed spots of blood on the floor. He was about to walk in when an officer stopped him. "You can't go in there its a crime scene" he told him. "But my...my girlfriend she was suppose to meet me here" Joey said.
The officer sighed "Hold on" he said. "Yokas" he yelled into the eerily quiet Central Perk. A blonde officer appeared. "Jeez Bosco what's with the yelling" she asked. "This guy's looking for his girlfriend" he said pointing at Joey. "What's her name" Yokas asked. "Phoebe Buffay" Joey answered. Yokas looked at the report that had the list of the injured and deceased. "No there's no Phoebe Buffay on this list" she told him. "Well can...can you tell me who is on the list I have some really close friends that come here all the time" he asked. Yokas sighed. "I'm really not suppose to but I'll make an exception" she said. "Gunther, I've been told he owns the place, Stacey Waters, Rachel Green and Chandler Bing were all taken to Beth Israel Hospital we don't have any ID on the deceased yet." she told him.
Joey looked at her. "Did...did you say Rachel Green and Chandler Bing" he asked. She nodded "Yes" she said. "Oh my God" he gasped. "Has anyone called Monica or Ross" he asked. "A man and woman accompanied them to the hospital but I don't know their names" Yokas replied. "Okay I...I gotta go" Joey said as he ran down the street towards the hospital.
