Chapter 15: There's Always Hope
Hannah looked at the pictures a little longer before tucking them safely in her book bag. She sighed softly as she glanced out the window. She wondered what her parents were doing right now. She even wondered about her annoying little sister. "Stop it Hannah" she whispered to herself. "They're better off with out you all you did was ruin their lives" she thought as more tears fell from her eyes.
Back in New York Monica sat in her daughter's room. She'd been sitting in there ever since she and Chandler came home from the air port. In her arms she clutched the teddy bear Hannah had since she was little. She cried into its old matted fur. Chandler came into the room. He sat down beside her. "Honey do you plan on staying in here all night" he whispered gently. "Our baby is on a plane headed for London alone and hurting she needs us Chandler and here we sit in New York" she cried. "I know Mon" he whispered.
Monica let go of the teddy bear and fell in to Chandler's arms. He held her close. She cried herself to sleep in his arms. He laid her down in Hannah's bed and kissed her forehead. He went into the other room to call his boss.
Hannah's flight landed in London over an hour ago. She wandered around for awhile thinking about New York, Her family, Emma and everything that had happened. She sat down on a near by bench and began to cry again. "Are you okay sweeite" a soft British voice asked softly. Hannah slowly looked up to see a woman with shoulder length dark hair. She looked a little familiar. "I...I'm fine" Hannah whispered. The woman sat down beside her. "You're not fine honey you're sitting out here in the cold crying" she said. "I'm okay some stuff happened back home and I...I had to leave" Hannah answered. "Where is home" the woman asked noticing the girl didn't have an English accent. "New York" Hannah answered.
"New York!" The woman said a bit shocked "and you came all the way to London alone" she asked. "I...I had to leave New York too many bad memories" Hannah whispered. "Same here" the woman answered. "I fell in love with a man in New York but he was in love with someone else he said her name at our wedding" the woman told her. "I'm Emily Walsome" the woman said introducing herself. "I'm Hannah Bing" Hannah said softly. "Bing" Emily said "I knew a man with that last name" she said. "Chandler Bing" Emily told her. "That's my...my dad" Hannah answered as she began to cry again.
Emily looked at her. "Your dad" she asked. Hannah nodded. "Come on lets go" Emily said taking her hand. "Go where" Hannah asked. "To my flat you can get warmed up and get a bit to eat" she answered. Hannah sighed and followed this Emily. They arrived at Emily's flat. She showed Hannah to the guest room. She then went to her bedroom and got out her phone book. She found what she was looking for. "Good thing I kept their numbers" she thought. She dialed the number.
Back in New York a phone began to ring. A man answered "Hello" he said into the phone. "Joey" Emily asked. "Yeah who's this" he asked. "Umm its...its Emily" she answered. "Whoa Emily as in Ross's ex" Joey asked surprised. "Yes is umm is Chandler there" she asked. "No he doesn't live here anymore" he told her. "Oh umm do you have his number its urgent" she said. Joey hesitated but gave her the number. "That's Monica's number" Emily said. "I know she's his wife" Joey answered. "I gotta go now" he said hanging up.
Chandler finished talking to his boss and hung up the phone and it began to ring. "Hello" Chandler said into the phone. "Chandler its Emily" Emily answered. "Ross's ex Emily" he questioned. "Yes" she answered. "Why are you calling me" he asked. "I met a young lady named Hannah she says you're her dad" she told him. "
"What! Wait you saw Hannah is she okay" he asked. "Yes she's here in the guest room she doesn't know I called you' she answered. "Thank God she's safe can you keep her there Monica and I are flying out as soon as we can" he told her. "So Joey wasn't kidding you married Monica and she's Hannah's mum" Emily asked. "Yes I did and yes she is" Chandler answered "I'll make sure Hannah stays here" she tells him. "Thank you Emily" he said as he hung up.
Chandler went into Hannah's room. Monica was still asleep on Hannah's bed. He sat down beside her. "Mon" he whispered "Wake up" he said softly. She moaned a little as she opened her eyes. "Chandler" she said as she sat up. "Come on we have to pack we're going to London" he told her. "What but how" she asked. "Doug gave me an advance" he told her. Monica jumped up and raced to their bedroom. She packed in a matter of minutes. They dropped Abby off across the hall with Joey and Phoebe and headed for the airport.
Emily walked down the hall the guest room. "Hannah" she called as she knocked. "Come in" Hannah whispered. Emily walked in with some tea. "I thought you might like some tea" she said. "Thanks" Hannah whispered. "So how do you know my dad" she asked. "Well he was one of my groom's bestmen" Emily told her. Hannah's eyes grew wide. "You're Uncle Ross's ex Emily!" she said. "Aunt Rachel told Emma and I all about Uncle Ross's wedding in London" she whispered as she began to cry. "Emma who's Emma" Emily asked. " She was Uncle Ross and aunt Rachel's daughter, she was my cousin, my bestfriend but she's dead now and its all my fault" she cried.
Chandler and Monica sat at Kennedy Airport waiting for their flight to be announced. "I hope we're not too late Chandler I hope she hasn't done anything stupid" Monica whispered. "She okay Mon" Chandler said softly. "You'll never believe who called me" he added. "Who" Monica asked. "Emily" he said. "Ross's ex Emily?" Monica asked. Chandler nodded. "Hannah is with her" he told her. "Thank God she's not wandering the streets of London alone" Monica said. Flight 819 to London England is now boarding at gate 615 was announced over the PA system. "That's us" Chandler said taking Monica's hand. "Let's go get our baby back" he added as they headed toward gate 615.
