Chapter 13: What's Wrong
Ross made he way through the crowd. He raced outside with Chandler close behind him. He saw Monica kneeling in the middle of the walkway holding Rachel in her arms. People kept walking around them but nobody bothered to stop or try to help. He raced over to his wife and sister. "Mon" he called. Monica looked up and saw her brother and husband running toward her. "Mon what...what happened" Ross asked as he knelt down beside her.
"She said she needed air but I knew something else was wrong so I came out here with her" Monica whispered. "She started coughing up blood then she passed out" she cried. Ross gently touched Rachel's face. "Rach, honey" he whispered. When she didn't respond Ross took her in his arms and stood up. "I have to get her to the hospital" Chandler and Monica nodded following him.
Sometime later Rachel was laying in a hospital bed when she moaned softly and opened her eyes. She looked around. "Where...where am I" she asked in a bit of a panic. "Shh its okay Rach you're in the hospital" Ross whispered. "What, but why" she asked beginning to cry. "You got sick at the zoo you...you passed out" Monica said softly. After hearing that it started to come back to her. "The dolphin show" she whispered. "The kids where are the kids" she asked with concern. "They're still at the zoo with Joey and Pheebs" Chandler answered. "Oh okay" she whispered. "So what...what did the doctor say am I gonna die soon" she asked crying more.
Back at the zoo the dolphin show ended. Joey and Phoebe were walking around the zoo with all the kids when Ben walked up to Phoebe. "Aunt Phoebe where's my dad and Rachel" he asked. "Well Ben you see Rachel she's" Ben stopped her. "Sick, I know that is...is she gonna die" he asked. Phoebe sighed softly. "I...I don't know honey" she whispered. " I don't want her to die aunt Phoebe" he whispered. "Neither do I sweeite" she whispered. She knew she was going to cry and she didn't want to upset Ben. "Joey I...I'm gonna go to the ladies room I...I need to check Daniel's diaper" she said grabbing the stroller.
Once in the ladies room Phoebe let her tears fall. She took Daniel from his stroller and changed his diaper. That's when she heard a familiar voice behind her. "Oh... my...God" She sighed and turned. "Hi Janice:" she said picking up the baby. "Phoebe!" she laughed. Is this your cute little baby!" she asked "Uh no he's Chandler and Monica's" she stated. "My Bingaling has a baby" Janice squealed. "Umm yeah he has two actually" she said "Wow Chandler Bing a dad" Janice giggled "So what have you been up to Phoebe" she asked. Phoebe really didn't feel like socializing especially with Janice. "Look I...I need to go" she whispered.
Janice noticed the tears in her eyes. "What's wrong" she asked. "Its Rachel she's in the hospital she...she has cancer" Janice gasped "I'm so sorry" she whispered. "And here I am talking a mile a minute, well shut me up" she said. "Just tell me how" Phoebe said under her breath. "I better go now" Phoebe said placing Daniel back in his stroller. "Yeah me too I need to go find Sid and Aaron" Janice giggled. "Tell my Bingaling I said hi!" she laughed as she left. Phoebe groaned as she left the ladies room.
After Joey and Phoebe took the triplets home they went over to Carol's. Carol smiled when she opened the door. "Hey Ben did you have fun at the zoo" she asked. He just nodded as he went and sat on the sofa. "Rachel got sick while we were at the zoo Ross took her to the hospital" Phoebe told her. "What, but I thought she was doing better" she whispered. Phoebe shrugged. "Yeah so did we" she whispered. "Would it be okay if we left Emma, Sammy, Hannah and Daniel here for awhile we want to go to the hospital" she said. Carol nodded. "Sure Susan and I will take care of the kids tell Rachel she's in our prayers" Phoebe nodded. "okay and thank you" she whispered.
When Joey and Phoebe walked into Rachel's room they saw Rachel sitting in bed with Ross beside her. She looked like she'd been crying. "Hey" Phoebe whispered. "Pheebs, Joey" Rachel said with a small smile. "Where are the kids" she asked. "We dropped them off at Carol and Susan's" Joey told her. "How you feeling" he asked. "I coughed up a little more blood and my chest kind of hurts but I'm okay I guess" she whispered as she started to cry again. "I...I'm dying" she cried. Ross pulled her into his arms. "You're not dying Rach you're gonna be fine" he whispered into her hair as he gently rocked her.
Phoebe looked at Monica she was near tears as was Chandler. She needed to lighten the mood a little. "So guess who I ran into at the zoo" she said. "Who Pheebs" Monica asked. "Janice" she answered. "Oh come on" Chandler groaned. "Oh Chandler she says hi Bingaling" Phoebe said mimicking Janice's annoying laugh. That got everyone laughing even Rachel. Chandler didn't laugh he made his usual noise.
Dr. Halliwell walked in and everyone stopped laughing. "Rachel I apologize for keeping you waiting" she said. "I've been over your test results" she added. "So is...is it the cancer am...am I dying" Rachel asked. "No its walking pneumonia" Dr. Halliwell answered. "Walking Pneumonia" Rachel questioned. "Yes that's why your chest hurts and you coughed up some blood" the doctor told her. "Its very common in cancer patients because their immune systems are weakened due to the cancer they're susceptible to infections and viruses" she added.
Ross let out a sigh of relief. "So she'll be fine" he asked. "Well walking pneumonia can be pretty serious especially with your wife's cancer but after a few days of hospital rest, some antibiotics and plenty of fluids she should be fine" Dr. Halliwell told him. "Speaking of the cancer what's her white count is the new treatment having any affect?" Phoebe asked. Everyone stared at her. "What, I watch ER Carter and Pratt are hot" she giggled. "They so are" Monica agreed. Chandler rolled his eyes. "What is it with you and the guys on that stupid show" Monica smiled "Oh like you don't sit there every Thursday drooling over Abby and Jing Mei" Monica giggled. "Mon, Shh" Chandler whined.
Ross sighed "Look enough about that stupid show its fake" he hissed. Dr. Halliwell smiled. "What an amusing bunch you are" she giggled. "Anyway to answer Phoebe's question Rachel's treatment is...
Chapter 14: Answers...Will the answer to Phoebe's question be the answer they all want it to be? Is Rachel showing signs of improvement or is she worse?...Coming Soon!!

But don't worry I have another Ross and Rachel story in the works its starts out sad and kind of tragic but soon turns into romance!! Its coming soon! Anyway please read and review. Thanx!
