Ch.6
Now and Forever
Rachel turned around to find Nickki's eyes fluttering open. Although she was now awake she still looked weak and in pain. She started to move her body, trying to hold her own and get up. She was still too weak to sit up straight all the way. Rachel and Ross immediately rushed to her side.
"Oh, my god. Nickki, your up."
Ross stood at the foot of her bed in shock, "I'm going to go get a nurse."
"Is daddy okay?"
"We're just so glad your okay," She playfully slapped her arm, "And don't you ever scare us like that again."
"Mom, did we win?"
"Yes, baby, you scored the winning point."
"Ye-" she began to cough, "I guess I won't be able to play next week in our game against Jackson Middle huh."
"Honey, you already played them and lost. You've been in a coma for over a month and a half."
"I what?"
"You have pneumonia. You immune system was so low you were going to die. We thought we had lost you forever." There was a long silence and Nickki stared into her mother eyes, she thought she had fainted. She couldn't remember even the last half hour of the game. She felt as though something had been taken away from, when Rachel started to cry. "I thought I had lost my best friend, When I saw you lying here all I wanted to do is hold you and tell you how much I loved you. I couldn't and if you'd died I would have never forgiven myself. " Nickki slowly sat up with Rachel's help. When she was fully up Rachel wrapped her arms around her.
"Mommy, I love you, and I'll never leave you I promise. "
"I love you so much."
"Well Hello Nicole, how do you feel?"
"Fine, Can I go home?"
"I'm afraid not. You have to stay in here for at least a week. You have only been up for five minutes, you could slip back into your coma if your not careful."
"When will she back to normal?"
"Probably around Christmas."
"Christmas!" Rachel was having enough trouble with the fact she could relapse, now she wouldn't even have daughter fully back till Christmas.
"Mr. and Mrs. Gellar may I talk to you in the hall?"
"Sure" Ross and Rachel walked into the hall holding hands.
"Her breathing is still very slow and she may still slip back into her coma. Her heart is beating very slowly. These are not very good signs. Sometimes before a person in a coma dies they wake up then slip off into the coma and die. I'll do everything in my power to keep that from happening but it doesn't look good. She'll be given a shot once every six hours to keep her stabilized. It will be a miracle if she makes it. I need you both to keep this a secret because we want to keep her happy, Happiness can sometimes help patients get better."
"She is not just a patient, she is my thirteen year old daughter. She has her who life ahead of her and your telling me there is nothing you can do. Help her." Rachel collapsed into Ross' arms
"You are a doctor she can't just wake up then die. You told us if she woke up that was a good sign. So now your telling us she's dieing."
"I didn't say that, it just doesn't look good. I have other patients I'll be back in an hour to check on her, and the longer she's up the better she has a chance of surviving." The doctor had just walked away like Nickki was nothing.
"What a jerk. Rach, are you going to be okay?"
"No, how can you even ask that. My daughters are dieing. Nickki is dieing."
"Look he didn't say that. Nickki is a fighter, she always has been. I know she's going to make it. That doctor doesn't know shit."
"I think we need to have the kids come say good bye."
"Rach, she's going to be fine. Please don't lose hope."
"My hope is gone Ross. First Nickki goes into a coma, then Emma's cancer is back, now they're both dieing and you and I don't even sleep in the same room anymore."
"Look at me. Rach look into my eyes I love you. I love you. I didn't know that us not sleeping at the same time bothered you so bad. I thought you understood I stayed up when you were sleeping to watch over the girls. I'm so sorry I haven't been there. Emma may be going to die but I still have faith in Nickki. Don't give up, please don't give up on me." A small tear came down Ross' face and landed on Rachel's nose. She looked and gazed into his eyes. She had seen his pain, his love for his girls. Even though he was closer to Emma and she was closer to Nickki. They were in the same boat.
He stared back into her eyes and there was the connection they always had. The spark of there relationship was still there.
"You go stay with Nickki and I call Monica to tell her the good news."
What are we going to do about Emma? Nickki doesn't know yet."
We have to tell her, it's only fair that they get as much time as possible together."
"Your right, I'll tell her."
"I love you Rach."
"I love you too, Ross" And like that their relationship was healed.
Ross pulled out his cell phone and dialed Monica and Chandler's number.
"Hey is Monica there."
"Sure man, how you holding up."
"Great. Really great."
"She's up?"
"Yep!"
"Congratulations man, here's Mon."
"My niece is okay!"
"Hopefully but can you bring the kids down?"
"Even Emma?"
"Even Emma."
"No problem we'll be there in a couple of minutes."
"Thanks Mon. I owe you one."
"That's what family is for. Love you."
"Love you. Bye." He walked back into the room to find Rachel watching Nickki. She was now peacefully looking out the window. Ross knew Rachel had told her. Her cheeks were stained a light crimson color because she had been crying.
"When?"
"What?"
"When did you find out?"
"The same day you went into your coma."
"It just came back?'
"Apparently it never left. Look Nickki I know this hard, but she's coming up soon, and she's already pretty weak. We have to be strong."
"I can't."
"It's never going to be easy to get through this, but we'll always have each other." Nickki began to cry again. "Baby don't cry, please" Rachel held Nickki into her arms. She couldn't begin to understand the pain Nickki was feeling, when Nate came running into the room.
"Sis, your up!"
Nickki quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Yep. How have you been?"
"Good, I got an A on the project you helped me with." Monica came in while he finished talking. "Thank God, you're up." "Where is Emma?" "Uncle Chandler is bringing her up." "She's that weak!" "She is just to tired sweetie, some days she has more energy." Ben entered carrying Zach, who was sleeping. "Hey, Sis, Don't you ever freaking scare me like that again. "Nickki!" Emma's voice was soft and raspy. Her skin was pale. Yet a smile spread across her face.
"Emmy!" Chandler set her on the edge of the bed and they hugged each other. "Can we have a minute?"
"Sure, Baby, were going to go get something from the cafeteria." They all left leaving Emma and Nickki alone.
"So..."
"So, I take it mom and dad told you my cancer is back, and that I'm not going to fight it. I know I would have my whole life ahead of me but something is telling me I'll be in less pain and happier if I die."
"But what about me and mom and dad and the guys."
"You and mom are like best friends you'll be fine. Dad will love you as he does me now, and the guys will only watch after one sister. You will all be better off once I'm gone. We all know I don't fit in this family."
"That's so not true. You are one of the most important people in this world to me. With out you I'll died. I'll never be able to fill the void in Daddy's heart. We both know he loves you more than me. Just like mom loves me. As for Ben you're his baby sister, and that will never change. Nate and I will never be as close as you and he are. This family needs you, I need you."
"I'm sorry but I can't fight anymore, and I don't love you any less. If it's possible I love my family more. We'll all be fine in the long run; I wouldn't leave you if you wouldn't."
"I love you, just promise me you never ever forget that."
"I will never ever forget how much you love me. You've been more then just a sister. You're my best friend and I love you so much."
"I know, sister bond. I love you now and forever."
"I love you too, know and forever."
"I am," A small tear trickled down Nickki's face, "I am going to miss you so much."
"I know but I will always be with you."
"Girls? Are you guys done because we have to get going soon?"
"Daddy, you aren't all going home are you?"
"Sorry Princess, but it's late and the guys need there sleep for school tomorrow. Plus Emma you need your rest. We'll be back first thing in the morning."
"Ross, why don't you and the boys go down and Emma and I will be down in a second." Ross and the boys left knowing Rachel had something up her sleeve.
"Okay Emma say goodbye. I promise Dad will bring you back up in the morning."
"Mom, aren't you coming home."
"No, I could never leave one of my girls in the hospital alone. Plus tomorrow while you're here I can get some sleep. We can have some girl time too."
"Fine."
"Oh, come here you two." They joined in a group hug; Nickki noticed something different in her mother this time. Rachel helped Emma to the car and said goodbye.
"Ross, honey call me later I have something to tell you."
"I will honey. I love you." They had a quick kiss which both of them wished it had lasted longer.
She walked back up to the room spotting Nickki sitting up on her own. A nurse walked in carrying a needle. "Okay Nicole this will keep you stabilized for now."
"I have to have a shot."
Yep.
"Mom, you didn't tell me I would have to have a shot."
"Sorry sweetie but it will help you get better. I'll be right here through the whole thing."
The nurse administered the shot, Nickki shook a little but that was the way she always was with needles. Just like her father in that way.
"Mom can I call Emma, she should be home by now."
"Sure honey."
"Sorry mam, she needs her rest. Doctors orders."
"I talk to her when Daddy calls."
"You can't have your cell phone in the room it could wake her. That is hospital policy."
"Okay, I'll go outside." The nurse left and Rachel turned on her cell phone. "I'll let you talk to her if your awake, but please try to get some sleep. They say you're in the clear to sleep but I have to wake you up every two hours."
"Can you tell me the story?"
"Of what? Of how I fell in love with my amazing baby girl. Well your father was marring Emily and you were born..." As soon as Nickki's eyes closed she was sleeping. Rachel decided to call Ross. "Hi honey."
"Hey, Baby."
"How are you?"
"Fine tired though."
"I won't keep you long I just have some news."
"Good news I hope."
"Depends on what you think is good news."
"Oh God."
"Just let me tell you first."
"Okay"
Well you know you and I always wanted one more, I don't know if it'll ever be a good time but in nine months were going to have another mouth to feed."
"We're having a baby."
"Yep."
"That's great news how could you ever think that was bad news."
"I just thought with all that's going on..."
"Rach,"
"Yea."
"I love you. Go get some sleep. I'll see you in the morning."
"I love you too."
Rachel watched as her daughter slept, she reminisced about the past with Nickki. She remembered how Nickki would always ask how she and Ross fell in love. That was her bedtime story until Ross left. Then Rachel would tell Nickki about she came to have such a wonderful daughter. Thinking of this she drifted off to sleep.
"Rach, sweetie, wake up."
She opened her eyes to find Ross hovering over her. "Good morning sweetie."
"Shh," He smiled at her. "Emma is still tired so she's in the chair over there sleeping and Nickki is sleeping to. The boys are all at school. I have to go to work. I love you."
"Love you too. Bye" The sun came up around eight o'clock. She left the girls a note and went to go get breakfast from the cafeteria. When she returned Nickki was watching Emma sleep.
"Good morning, Baby."
"Morning"
"How did you sleep?"
"Pretty Good" she rubbed her eyes as if they burned. "Is she in a lot of pain?"
"No, she's on morphine, but it won't be long before she is. I just hope she doesn't suffer long."
"Me too. She's my best friend."
"Mine too."
"Really?"
"Yea, I love her just as much as I love you. We really bonded. Everyday we would sit in this room talking about you, and it just really gave us this link. I realized I would only have her for so long. I want to cherish every moment I have with her."
"Me too."
"That's why your father and I told you so soon. We want you guys spend as much time together as possible."
"A lot happened while I was out didn't it?"
"Kind of, Emma and I got a lot closer. Zach took his first steps. Nate and your father got closer because they worked on his projects together. Other then that we're still the same."
"What about Ben?"
"He had a hard time with excepting you might not comeback. He got in the morning and had to drive to school. I think he had the hardest time with all of this. He's become very quiet."
"Hey guys" Emma was up.
"Hi, sleepy head." Rachel walked over and gave her a hug. Then she sat Emma on her lap. Emma was very thin; the cancer lowered her eating habits. She was tiny enough to be twelve years old and still sit on Rachel's lap.
Nickki began to feel left out. There were many days that Rachel had left out Nickki. This was the something different in Rachel. She was distant from Nickki, and before Nickki was in her coma they were the closet people on the planet.
When Nickki returned home they had a small party, because Nickki didn't want to celebrate yet. She said that they should celebrate when she wins her first volleyball game. Every day she would beg to go to school. On the Friday that winter break got out, after Rachel had left she snuck out.
"Emma, I'll be home at lunch with Ben to check on you. I love you now and forever. Thank you so much."
"I love you now and forever." They gave each other a hug and Nickki was out the door with Ben. They checked on Emma at lunch and she was sleeping so Nickki and Ben left her a note.
Dear Emma,
We came home for lunch and didn't want to wake you. Hope your having a good day. Ben will be back in two hours. Thank you for everything.
Love you now and forever,
Nickki and Ben
At the end of the day Nickki gave Ben a hug for Emma and she was off to her game. She got ready and the whole team welcomed her back. The coach put her in as starting server. She won the first game, all fifteen points. The second game they won too. The third game was fun but they ended up winning anyway. It was the first championship game. They all voted for the player of the game. It was Nickki.
"Ladies and gentlemen. The votes are tallied and the player of the game, won a game by herself and just got back after being sick. The player is Nicole Gellar!
Nicole received her medal and the team lifted her up onto their shoulders. From this view Nickki spotted Monica and Chandler. She had no clue what they were doing at her game. Nobody was supposed to be home yet. Her mind began to wander on why they were there...
Sorry it's been so long. I hope you like it. Please give me some reviews. I love writing this story but I want to know what you think. I love R and R! Please Review. Love ya.
Rachel turned around to find Nickki's eyes fluttering open. Although she was now awake she still looked weak and in pain. She started to move her body, trying to hold her own and get up. She was still too weak to sit up straight all the way. Rachel and Ross immediately rushed to her side.
