Chapter six:
Rachel, Ross, Joey, and Phoebe rushed into the waiting room of the hospital. Mike and Jennifer had stayed with all the kids since they didn't know Monica and Chandler that well and didn't want to drag a bunch of kids to the hospital.
Rachel walked up to the desk, "Can I have the room number of Monica and Chandler Bing?"
Some one behind them cleared their throat. "I'm Doctor Williams. I'm the Bings' doctor."
Rachel turned around to face the tall clean-shaven man. "I'm Rachel Geller, Monica and Chandler's sister-in-law. This is Ross, Monica's brother, and our friends Joey Tribbiani and Phoebe Buffay."
Doctor Williams shook all their hands.
"So how are Monica and Chandler and the kids?" Rachel asked anxiously. She couldn't believe that this was happening.
"Let's go to another room. Only Mr. and Mrs. Geller. They are the only family here. It's against policy to give out a patient's information to some one who is not family. Sorry, but Mr. and Mrs. Geller can tell you all they wish to tell you later."
Rachel smiled apologetically at Phoebe and Joey. She felt bad for them, but she would tell them all the information later. Phoebe and Joey were Monica and Chandler's family as much as Ross and Rachel were.
Rachel and Ross entered the other room and sat on two chairs. The doctor stood in front of them.
"Mrs. Bing hit her head hard on the dashboard in front of her. She is sleeping right now, rest is good for her. She also has a broken arm and some fractured ribs. Mr. Bing is in a coma right now."
Rachel gasped. Tears were threatening to overflow. "He has a broken leg and a fractured wrist. The two girls, Maddy and Lauren are fine. They both have broken arms and are getting CAT scans, but I think they will be fine. The baby, however, died instantly. Apparently his car seat wasn't hooked in right. He went flying forward. I'm sorry."
Rachel couldn't hold the tears in any longer. She started sobbing. She couldn't believe how painful this would be on Monica and Chandler. Just the thought of something happening to Emma, Ryan, or Colin made her break down.
Ross wrapped his arms tightly around Rachel, but shed no tears. He was still mad. He was sad that his sister and brother-in-law lost a baby and that they were in the hospital, but he was still so angry at them for leaving. He knew he loved them, but he swore to himself a long time ago he wouldn't cry over them anymore.
"How did you know to call us?" Rachel asked the doctor through her tears.
"Um, the oldest daughter, Lauren? She told us her last name was Geller-Bing, so we figured that the mother's maiden name was Geller. We also looked up Bing, but no one answered."
"Chandler's mom's in Europe." Ross said.
"Can we see Monica or Chandler or the girls?" Rachel asked. She really wanted to see with her own eyes that they were at least okay.
"You and Mr. Geller can see them, but right now its family only."
"So you mean Phoebe and Joey can't see them?"
"Not yet. They will be able to later." Dr. Williams said.
Rachel and Ross left the room and went to find Phoebe and Joey.
When they found them Rachel explained Everyone's condition. By the time she was finished all of them had tears in their eyes, except Ross.
"I'm gonna go find Monica and Chandler's room and check on the girls. Ross, you wanna come with me?" Rachel said.
"No, I'll stay with Pheebs and Joey." Ross said sitting down in one of the waiting room chairs.
Rachel couldn't believe Ross. His sister and brother-in-law, not to mention best friend was in the hospital and he was acting like he didn't even care. "What ever." She said and walked off to find Lauren and Maddy's room.
Rachel knocked quietly first before entering in case either of them were asleep. When she walked in she found them both very much awake. They were sitting in their beds watching TV looking bored as hell.
"Hey, guys."
"Auntie Rachel!" The girls squealed. Rachel went over and gave each of them a hug.
"How are you girls feeling?" She asked.
"We're fine, but Mommy and Daddy are hurt and the nurse told us we were never gonna see Matthew again." Lauren said.
"Yeah. She said he dieded." Maddy said.
"It's died not dieded." Lauren corrected her younger sister, though she didn't really know what it meant. All she knew was that when some one died you never got to see them again.
"Well, I'm gonna go see your mommy and daddy now, okay?"
"Okay." The girls said cheerfully.
Rachel exited their room and headed to the next closest one; Chandler's.
Rachel walked in quietly and sat down next to Chandler's bed and took his hand in hers, careful not to disturb any of the tubes and wires around him.
"Chandler, you gotta wake up, okay? Monica needs you. She is so in love with you and I know she wouldn't make it if something happens to you. And Lauren and Maddy need a dad. They adore you Chandler." Rachel paused to wipe away some tears, "We all need you, Chandler. You're the one we go to when we need cheering up. No one can crack a joke as well as you can. So you have to wake up. You have to."
Rachel laid her head down and cried for a couple minutes praying that Chandler would wake up, but he didn't.
Rachel left and headed to Monica's room.
She tried to be quiet, to not wake Monica up, but when she entered Monica was already up, and she was crying.
"What's wrong, Mon?" Rachel asked coming over to sit by Monica's bed. She took Monica's hand in her own.
"My head hurts real bad, Rach. It feels like its gonna explode."
"Maybe we should call for a nurse."
"No, I'll be fine." Monica insisted trying to hold the tears back. All of a sudden she grabbed her head and closed her eyes tightly. Then an alarm went off.
Soon nurses and doctors were rushing around the room. "You need to leave miss." One said to Rachel.
"But will she be alright?" Rachel asked tears trailing down her cheeks.
"We don't right now, miss, you need to leave."
So Rachel left and hurried to the waiting room to inform everyone what had happened.
