Part Seven

Disclaimer: It never changes, never will...they're somebody else's!

Monica couldn't get to the hospital fast enough. She sped down the highways, narrowly avoiding getting a ticket, and raced into the emergency room. "What happened?" she breathlessly asked Joey as she saw him.

"Tyler was over at his friend's house and he was playing outside with his friend. A car swerved off the road and hit him. It didn't hit his friend, though. The friend's mom called Chandler.Chandler's with Tyler right now."

"Where's Lauren and Emily?"

"With Phoebe," Joey answered.

Monica took a deep breath, "How is he? Is he going to make it?"

Joey shrugged, "Chandler will know more than I do.I just got here. Honestly, Mon, I don't know."

Monica sighed, "I'm asking a nurse," she said firmly and stopped a nurse, "Excuse me," she said, "I'm looking for Tyler Bing. His dad's with him right now.do you know where he might be?"
"I do know where he is," the nurse said, "But only family's being allowed in right now."
"She is family," a voice said. Monica whipped around and saw Chandler standing behind her. "C'mon, Mon," he said softly.

"Chandler, how is he?" Monica asked once they were headed down the hallway. She looked up at Chandler's face. He looked awful. His face was tearstained and his usual smile had vanished.

Chandler was silent until they stopped outside a bedroom. There was glass so you could see inside. Monica glanced at the boy in the room and realized it was Tyler. But it wasn't the strong, happy, healthy Tyler Bing she knew. This Tyler was covered with bruises and cuts and attached to a million different machines and monitors. Finally Chandler spoke up, his eyes never leaving the sight of his son, "There's very few physical injuries. Just a broken arm, some cuts, bruises. But.he's in a coma, Mon. And they don't know if he's gonna wake up."

Chandler didn't wait for her to respond. He opened the door to Tyler's room and led Monica inside. He sat down in a chair by his son's bed. Finally, Monica went over and sat on Chandler's lap. "Chandler." she whispered, "What's going to happen?"

"We wait," said Chandler simply, "If he doesn't wake up in the next week or so, there's really not much hope he will wake up. But if he wakes up in the next few days.he should be okay. So we just wait until he wakes up. And he's going to," Chandler said firmly, "My boy's a fighter."

Monica was silent for a while. "What can I do, Chandler?" she said softly.

He looked into her eyes, "Wait with me," he whispered, "I need you.Phoebe and Joey will take Emily and Lauren, I know. I need you here with me, please." he begged.

"Of course," she said, "I won't leave until he does," she said, motioning to Tyler.

"Thank you," Chandler said softly, kissing her temple.

No great big cliffhanger, but please bear with me! anyway, please review! thanks!
