Chapter 9: Just A Thank You Won't Do

Chandler looked up and saw him standing there. "Uh hey Chandler, I uh I promised Judy I'd bring this food to Mon" Joey said nervously showing him the sandwich and juice box in his hand. Chandler still remained silent. "I uh I'm gonna go" Joey said handing the food to Monica and headed out the door. "Joe" Chandler called softly. He turned around to look at his bestfriend. "Umm yeah" he said. "I...I don't know how to thank you for" Joey stopped him. "Dude you don't have to thank me" he said softly.

"Yes I do, if it weren't for you I wouldn't be here right now holding my wife and feeling our baby's first kick" Chandler said softly with tears in his eyes. "You saved my life saying thank you just isn't enough I...I don't know how but I'm going to repay you" Joey smiled "Hey you're like a brother to me and I love you" he said "But not like that" he added quickly. "Just knowing you'll still be around to eat pizza with, and to beat you at fooseball is thanks enough" he gave him a quick hug. Chandler laughed. "I love you too Joe and you mean I can still beat you at fooseball"

Joey laughed "Dude you're crazy I can so beat you" Monica smiled "Okay now you boys play nice" she giggled. "I think the baby wants you to play nice too" she smiled "Joey give me your hand" she grabbed his hand placing it on her stomach. Joey grinned when he felt the baby kick. "Whoa this baby can kick" he giggled. "Maybe it will do karate like its uncle Ross" he giggled. Monica laughed "Please I don't want my baby to be like Ross he's so boring" she giggled. "I think the baby just loves its uncle Joey" she smiled. "Aww well uncle Joey loves you too" he said to her stomach. Monica smiled "That was so sweet"

Joey grinned "Ooh you wanna thank me Chandler name the baby Joey" Chandler laughed "You really want a kid named after you huh" He nodded "Besides we had a deal you name your first kid Joey and I don't tell Rachel you two were having sex with Emma in the next room' he giggled. "We'll see Joe" Chandler giggled. "You know Joe you and Pheebs may have a kid someday you could name him Joey" he said. "Pheebs she's great and very bendy" Joey grinned. "I know she told me" Chandler laughed.

There was a knock on the door. Ross stuck his head in "Can we join the party" he asked with a smile. Chandler and Monica nodded and the other four friends walked in. Phoebe walked up to the bed. "Chandler Muriel Bing!" she said. "Hey Phoebe why you middle naming me" he giggled "Because you scared us don't you ever do that again" she said hugging him. "I'm sorry Pheebs I promise I'll never scare you again if you promise never to say my middle name" Phoebe smiled "Deal" she smiled.

"Hey" Rachel whispered walking up to the bed with tears in her eyes. "We...we thought we were gonna lose you" she said softly "Ross and I couldn't have gotten married without you" she said beginning to cry. "Aww Rach come here" Chandler whispered pulling her into a hug. "I know I tease you alot but I really do love you, honest" she cried "I...I'm glad you're okay" she whispered. "We all tease each other Rachel that's what family does and I know you love me, I love you too" he said rubbing her back. She smiled "Thank you Chandler" she said kissing his cheek.

Ross smiled a this bestfriend. "Well it looks like Joey and I can't tease you about being weak anymore" he joked. "What you did for my sister, it took alot of guts" he said. "No Ross guts had nothing to do with it" Chandler whispered looking at Monica. "Your sister, she's everything to me, she's my angel, my shining star, my reason for living I couldn't just stand there and let that jerk hurt her, hurt our baby I didn't even think when I shoved her I just did what I had to do to protect my family and I'm sure you would have done the same for Rachel, Ben, and Emma" Ross nodded "I'd rather die than let someone hurt them" he answered. "I'm glad you were there for Monica I'm also glad you're alright I mean you're my bestfriend who else could get away with posting I died when I was hit by a blimp and who else would help me set up my own memorial service"

Chandler laughed "Do you remember the look on Corey Weston's face when you came running out of the bedroom." he giggled "I think her exact words were you sick freak what kind of person does this" he laughed. Ross smiled "Dude so what Corey had a crush on me" he giggled. "Speaking of that day Chandler what's wrong with the way I stand" Monica asked with a laugh. "Ugh! Ross, Mon you two make me wanna get shot again just so I don't have to listen to you" he laughed.

Monica frowned "Chandler don't say that, please don't ever say that" she whispered tears filling her eyes. He pulled her into his arms. "Shh don't cry honey I'm sorry it was just a joke, a really bad joke" he said softly kissing the top of her head. "Lets forget I even said it okay, why don't we tell the guys about" he went on to whisper something in her ear. She smiled "Okay!" she giggled. She looked at her friends. "The baby started kicking" Joey grinned "I got to feel it and Ross I think its gonna do karate" he giggled. "Really how cool is that" Ross exclaimed. Monica rolled her eyes "What ever Ross, that's not all when Chandler gets out of the hospital we're gonna find out the sex of the baby" she added.

Phoebe smiled "Why wait I can tell ya now" She placed her hand on Monica's stomach and closed her eyes. "Got it" she giggled "Mon you're having a boy" she grinned. "Yeah sure Pheebs" Monica laughed. "You laugh now missy but you'll see Pheebs is never wrong" Phoebe stated. "Okay enjoy your handful Joey" Monica giggled "Oh I will baby" he grinned. "You betcha he will" Phoebe giggled winking at him. The six friends laughed. It felt god to laugh again especially since they'd come so close to losing one sixth of their group.
