Chapter 4: Our Little Angel

Chandler ran up to the admit desk. "I need you to page Dr. Troy" he rambled to the woman behind the desk. "I'm sorry sir but Dr. Troy is busy with a patient" she answered. "I don't care" he yelled "Get her now" The woman sighed. "Look you'll have to way until she's finished with her patient" Chandler looked at her his eyes brimming with tears. "It can't wait" he whispered. "My wife, our baby please get her" The woman looked at him and saw how upset he was. "Alright" she said "What's your wife's name" she asked. "Monica Bing" he whispered. "I'll go get Dr. Troy" she said coming from behind the desk.

Chandler nodded and went back to Monica's room. When he walked in he saw Monica sitting up crying as she clutched her stomach. He went over and sat down beside her. She looked up at him. "It hurts" she cried. "I...I'm scared Chandler I...I don't want to lose this baby" she sobbed. "Neither do I" he whispered as his unshed tears now ran down his face. "I...I'm so sorry Mon" he whispered. "Stop it Chandler" she cried "Quit blaming yourself and just be here for me" she whimpered. "Please" she cried as she laid her head on his shoulder.

Dr. Troy walked in to the room. "Mr. and Mrs. Bing" she said softly. "Marcie said there was a problem" she said "My wife, the baby" Chandler whispered. "Something's wrong" he said. The doctor nodded. "Okay Mrs. Bing can you tell me what's wrong" she asked. "I...I've been cramping it feels like menstrual cramps but worse" Monica cried. "I...I'm losing the baby aren't I" she whimpered. "I won't know for sure until I've examined you" Dr. Troy answered. "So the baby still has a chance" Chandler asked. "Yes there's always a chance" she answered.

Chandler stayed by Monica's side as the doctor examined her. She winced a little when her left leg was moved. She tried to find comfort in Chandler's eyes but it wasn't working. He kissed her temple. "Its gonna be okay Mon" he whispered trying to bring her some comfort. Once the doctor was finished with her exam she looked at the couple. "Mrs. Bing you're bleeding again" she said gently "I...I'm miscarrying aren't I" Monica cried. "I'm not sure I'm going to do an ultrasound and see what's causing the bleeding" the doctor told her.

Monica nodded and watched the doctor bring the ultrasound machine over to the bed. She lifted Monica's gown and put some gel on her flat stomach. She glided the ultrasound over her stomach. "There's the baby" she said showing Monica and Chandler a small spot on the screen. "That little thing that's our baby" Chandler asked. The doctor nodded. "Yes and it looks like a healthy eight week old fetus" she stated. She looked at the image on the screen and that's when she noticed it. "Mr. and Mrs. Bing I'm afraid I've located the problem" she said. "What is it" they both asked. "Do you see this dark spot right here" she asked. They nodded. "That's the placenta and this right here" she said pointing to a squiggley line "is a tear " she said. "It probably accrued while she was being removed from the vehicle." she told them.

"So what does that mean" Chandler asked. "It means your wife will probably miscarry" she said softly. Monica began so sob. "No please help my baby" she cried. "Isn't there anything you can do to save the baby my wife and I have been trying for over a year to get pregnant then we were told it may never happen for us but it did so please if there's anything you can do" he whispered on the verge of tears. Dr. Troy sighed softly. "Well there is one other option but it could be dangerous" she said. "What is it" he asked. "There's a procedure your wife could have" she answered. "Procedure? What kind of procedure" he asked. "Well its a procedure to correct the tear in your wife's placenta" she said.

"Do it" Monica cried. "There are risks Mrs. Bing" Dr. Troy informed her. "What kind of risks" she asked. "Well the procedure is done vaginally so there's still the risk of miscarriage or preterm birth and there's risks to you as well there's a small chance you could bleed out or even die" the doctor said. Chandler didn't like those risks. There was a chance he could lose his wife and child. He looked at Monica. "Honey I...I don't know about this" he whispered. "I have to" she whispered. "Our baby will die if I don't" Chandler nodded "I...I know but if you do it you could die" he said. Monica looked at him. "If...if you don't want the baby Chandler then just say so" He sighed softly. "I do want the baby Mon but" he stopped. "But what" she asked. "I don't want to lose you" he said.

Monica didn't know what to do. She wanted to be a mother more than anything and when she was told it may never happen she'd been heartbroken, but it had happened. She was pregnant. She looked at Chandler. She loved him and didn't want to cause him any pain but she loved the baby too. His baby. How was she suppose to choose. How was she suppose to decide.

Chapter 5: Monica's Decision....Will Monica choose to save her baby?...Coming Soon!!

Authors Note: Hello little ones. Here's the next chapter. Its probably kind of boring but more dram is coming. LOL. I have no medical knowledge. So I have no idea if there is such a procedure, but I do know that the placenta can tear putting the mother and baby in jeopardy. Anyway please read and review. Thanx!
