Chapter 9: Hang On


The doctor looked at the couple. "Mr. and Mrs. Bing, Hannah has been stabilized but her condition is still critical" he told them. "Oh my God "Monica gasped squeezing Chandler's hand. "Can...can we see her" she asked. The doctor nodded "Of course but I'm not sure if she'll be awake she's been drifting in and out of conciseness" he answered.



Emma heard what the doctor had said. She hoped Hannah would be unconscious. If she was awake she would probably rat her out. She watched her aunt and uncle following the doctor out of the room. She thought about trying to stop them, but that then everyone would start asking questions.




Chandler and Monica walked silently down the hall to Hannah's room. They walked inside. Hannah was laying in bed hooked up to several machines. Her skin was pale and her hair was matted and spread out on the pillow. Monica sat on the edge of the bed and took her daughter's hand. "Hannah sweeite its Mom and Dad" she whispered. Hannah's eyes fluttered open. "Mom" she whispered hoarsely. "Yes honey how do you feel" Monica asked. "I hurt" Hannah whispered. She looked up and saw Chandler standing next to her mom. Dad" she whispered. He gave her a small smile "Hey kiddo" he whispered.




Hannah coughed a little. "Emma" she whispered. Monica nodded "I know sweeite she saved your life" Hannah looked at her with wide eyes. She shook her head and began to cry which caused her to cough alot. Monica tried to get her to calm down "Honey calm down its okay" she said softly. "Mom, Emma no" she whispered. Hannah wasn't making any since. "I think Hannah needs to rest Mon we can come back later" Chandler whispered. Monica nodded. She kissed Hannah's forehead. "We'll be back sweeite get some rest we love you" she whispered. "No mom, dad Emma" she whispered. "Shh we'll talk later kiddo get some rest okay" Chandler whispered kissing her forehead.




Chandler and Monica walked back to the waiting area. Emma had her head on Ross's shoulder but she jumped up when she saw her aunt and uncle walk in. "Aunt Monica, uncle Chandler how's ...how's Hannah" she asked nervously. "Funny you should ask" Monica said. "She kept talking about you" she added. Emma grew more nervous "What...what did she say" she asked. "Well I told her you saved her life she got real upset shaking her head and saying no" Monica told her. "Do you have any idea what she meant" Chandler asked.




Emma didn't know what to say. "Umm I umm I don't know uncle Chandler maybe I should go talk to her" she answered. She stood up and left the room. "Okay what's up with her" Monica asked. Chandler put his arm around her. "Don't worry Mon she's just shaken up like we all are she'll be okay" he answered. Emma had been standing by the door she heard what Chandler said. "If you only knew what was really wrong uncle Chandler" she whispered as she walked away from the door.





Emma walked into Hannah's room and up to her bed. "Hannah" she whispered. Hannah opened her eyes and saw Emma standing there. "Emma no" she whispered "Hannah you can't tell anybody what happened" Emma said. "Nobody can know that I didn't save your life that I was the one who did this to you understand" she added. Hannah looked up at her with frightened eyes.




Someone had walked into the room in time to hear Emma's little confession. "Emma Geller you've got some explaining to do" the person said. Emma slowly looked over and saw Phoebe standing there. Emma swallowed hard. "Aunt...aunt Phoebe" she whispered. Emma knew she was a goner unless she could convince Phoebe to keep her mouth shut. "Lets see how ditsy you really are" Emma thought as she cooked up a plan.
