Chapter 16
Monica was almost asleep in Chandler's arms, but he spoke causing her to jump. "Monica....why did you say his name?" Monica sighed, she new Chandler wouldn't buy that story she fed to him earlier.
"I don't know, I guess I was just thinking about last night when he came to the hospital" She lied again. Honestly she had no idea why she said his name. She knew Chandler was hurt, but not just because of that, because she was pushing him away. He just nodded along though, knowing that she was lying, and knowing she was hiding something.
"I love you." He said, kissing her hair as she drifted to sleep.
*********************************
Chandler slipped from Monica's embrace as he went to shower and get ready for work. Monica felt him get up and sighed, she knew that was their last night together.
Before Chandler left he called Rachel. She stumbled over a few of Emma's toys before reaching the phone. "Hello?" She answered.
"Hey, are you gonna come over and stay with Mon today?" He hated to ask this, but the doctor said someone should be with Monica all day for a while, just to make sure she didn't try anything again.
"Yeah, I'll be there just let me get Emma ready"
Chandler smiled "Thanks Rach, see ya later" He said hanging up the phone. He walked into his bedroom. "Mon, babe I'm leaving for work.....Rachel's going to be here soon." He kissed her a few times before leaving.
************************
"So....I'm guessing he doesn't know yet?" Rachel said, breaking the silence that had been present ever since their short hello's 15 minutes earlier. Monica was staring off into space and obviously had not heard Rachel. "Mon....MONICA ANSWER ME!!!" Monica's head finally snapped over.
"What do you want???" She yelled. Couldn't Rachel see that she was trying to think? If it wasn't bad enough that Rachel had to be her babysitter, but now she wanted to play counselor. Cool down Mon, she thought to herself....they're only trying to help.
"I was just asking...if you had told Chandler yet?" Rachel mumbled, afraid to get yelled at again.
"Does it LOOK LIKE I TOLD HIM YET??? Would I be sitting here miserably? WOULD I BE SITTING HERE AT ALL?!?! No, my ass would be out on the street, for God sakes. Why don't you just leave me the hell alone, all of you!!!" Monica yelled, tears beginning to stream down her face.
"Oh Mon, honey...." Rachel said rushing over to her. She wrapped her arms around Monica and consoled her.
"I just....don't know what I'd do without him...." she cried into Rachel's shoulder.
"You can do it, Mon," Rachel said, pulling away and looking at Monica, "I know you can....I mean, look at me! I'm way more immature than you, and I've got a baby and no man!"
"So you're saying he WILL leave me??" Monica cried, breaking down again.
"NO, NO, NO! I'm saying if worst comes to worst....which it won't....you'll be fine Monica. You're a strong woman. Now, promise me that when he comes home, you're gonna tell him. He'll understand....it was a mistake and you were drunk....and you guys were fighting. You two are perfect. You'll make it through. Now go get some rest, you look tired." Rachel said, while holding onto Monica's hands.
"Thanks Rachel. You're a good friend." Monica said quietly, then made her way to the bedroom.
Rachel picked the issue of Cosmo she was reading back up. If only she believed everything she had just said.
*******************************
Phoebe woke the sounds of Joey's crying son. She heard Joey come into the living room with Drake. "Let me help." She said taking Drake while Joey made his bottle.
"Thanks so much for all your help Pheebs." He said, taking the baby from her to feed him.
"It's no problem....I'm here for you" She smiled. "But now I'm going to go home and get cleaned up. I'll be back later." Phoebe kissed Joey's cheek and walked out the door. He smiled after her feeling something he'd never felt before. Could it be possible that he...... was falling for her?
