Dreams coming true
She looked at it twice, just to make sure that she wasn't imagining it but I was still there. She couldn't believe it, their lives were about to be changed forever. A smile spread across her face slowly, she couldn't wait to tell Chandler, he was going to be so happy. This was just what they wanted and it was something they were told would never happen. but it had.
*~*~*
"Where is everyone?" Rachel asked as she enter the coffee house with Emma, noticing only Ross there.
"Well, Joey is trying to beat Phoebe at foosball." Ross said, picking his daughter up, out of her pram.
"Oh, so they can be a while, then?"
"Yeah, when I left they were on the fifth game," he told her, "and I'm guessing Chandler and Mon are still at work.."
"Right, then." She smiled as she watched Emma being bounced up and down on Ross' knee, "looks like its just the three of us."
Ross smiled at her and then at Emma. Once Rachel had gotten a coffee, they began to discuss their days. Ross was in the middle of a story about what happened during his lunch break when Emma's giggling stopped him.
"What ya laughing at?" He smiled at her.
His daughter didn't even look up at him and just continued to laugh. Ross and Rachel exchanged amused looks.
"What's up, Emma?" Rachel asked, leaning forwards, trying to get her attention.
"Chandler," Emma slurred quietly.
"What?!" Ross asked in shock, looking at her.
"Did, she just say Chandler!?" Rachel asked.
"Chandler." Emma repeated, less slurred.
"Oh my god." Rachel smiled widely, "I don't believe it. I mean why Chandler?"
"Umm. Rach."
"What?" She stopped trying to think of subtle explanation and looked at him.
"I think that's why." Ross told her, pointing to the window, where Chandler was dancing around and pulling faces at Emma, while people passing gave him odd looks. She shook her head and tried to hide a smile as she watched him make a fool of himself just for Emma.
"Typical Chandler, eh?" She said.
"Yeah, it's a pity him and Mon, can't have kids." Ross added, "I mean, they would make great parents.."
"Well, maybe one day." Rachel said wishfully, sipping her coffee, "and they can always adopt."
Emma started to cry before either of them could say any more. They both turned back to the window and saw Chandler had stopped dancing and was talking on his phone.
"You know, I think Joey's going to crushed." Ross predicted, as he hand over his daughter to Rachel so she could calm her down.
"What?" She frowned, "why?"
"Well, this just proves, he's not her favourite.Chandler is.."
Outside, Chandler couldn't help his smile widening when he heard Monica's voice on the other end of the phone.
"Hey, Honey.Everything okay?"
"Yeah great!" She told him, "Look, I'm off work in about an hour. I want you to be home."
"Oh yeah?" He asked, a hint on tease in his voice, "what if I'm not?"
"Well, then you don't get your surprise!" She told him.
"Yay, a surprise."
"Right, I've gotta get back to work." She told him, "I'll see you later."
"You will." Chandler told her, "love ya."
"Love you too."
Chandler slid his phone back into his pocket and looked into the coffee house. He watched Emma playing with a dinosaur teddy. He wanted him and Monica to have a baby so such and was so disappointed when the doctor told them that it was very un-likely but he knew they would be able to work something out. They wanted it so much that there was no way it wouldn't work out, a child was all he need to have a prefect life.
Just has he head for the door, he heard car break's screeching and just as he turned around the car hit him, flipping him onto the bonnet. His body smashed into the windscreen, splinters of glass flew every where. The car stopped, causing Chandler to roll and fall to the ground. He cracked his head hard on the curb stone, everything was slightly blurry, which turned into darkness and then the pain slowly faded away.
Everyone in the coffee house jumped when they heard the almighty crash. Rachel and Ross turned to see a red car, on the sidewalk. The women driver, still sat shocked at the stirring wheel. Then they saw him, lying emotionlessly on ground.
"CHANDLER!" Rachel screamed as they both ran to door, Emma still in her arms.
*~*~*
"Right, last game." Phoebe told Joey, "I've beaten you like 6 times."
"Yeah but I was letting you win!" Joey insisted.
"Yeah right!" She said sarcastically.
"Right, first to ten wins." Joey told her, putting the ball onto the table.
"What was that?" She asked, standing up straight hearing a loud noise from the street.
Joey noticed she wasn't paying attention to the game and quickly knocked the ball into the goal.
"YAY. One, Nil to Joey." He screamed with triumph.
"HEY, that's not fair!" Phoebe looked down at the table, "umm, Joey??"
"What?" He grinned at her, that was the first goal in scored in the 7 games they played.
"That was your own goal." She smiled widely at him, "one, nil to me."
Joey's smile faded and looked back down to see that was right. "Damn it. I mean, I meant to do that!"
"Yeah, whatever!" She said and they continued to play.
*~*~*
"Oh my god. Chandler, please be alright." Ross said, knelling down next to him. A small crowd gather around them, watching curiously.
"Is he. is he alive?" Rachel could hardly dare to ask, as she stood hugging Emma close to her.
"He's still has a pulse.but it weak.." Ross told her, "someone call 911!"
"Ross? He will be alright, won't he?" Rachel asked tearfully.
"Course he will." He reassured her, "this is Chandler."
Rachel could only nod a reply, looking down at her friend. There was a large pool of blood around his head, his left leg was sickeningly twisted and somehow, worst of all, his face was peaceful and relaxed, which scared both her and Ross.
*~*~*
"I win, again," Phoebe said, "but it was a good game."
"Yeah." Joey muttered and began to sulk. Wishing he played Chandler, he would have stood a better chance again him.
"Aww. don't look like that!" Phoebe told him, "Oh! I know what will cheer you up! I'll order a pizza!"
"Cool!" Joey's face lit up again, "I should loose more often."
Just as Phoebe reached the phone, the dark flat was fill with lights from outside.
"What going on out there?" Joey said, as they wondered over to the window, curiously.
"Wow, major crash." Phoebe stated, seeing the ambulance and police cars. "We should go down there."
"But what about the pizza?!" Joey moaned.
"Oh come on!" She rolled her eyes and dragged him out of apartment.
They pushed their way to the front of the crowd and say Rachel and Ross stood together, holding each other and Emma tightly.
"Guys? What's going on?" Joey asked.
"It's Chandler." Ross started, tears visible in his eyes.
"What's Chandler?" Phoebe asked.
"He's been hit by a car."
"What?" Joey's eyes, widened and he turned a ghostly white with shock, "is he alright?"
"I don't know." Ross said quietly.
"What do you mean you don't know! I thought you were a doctor!"
"I'm not that kind of doctor, Joe!"
"Both of you calm down!" Rachel ordered.
They both fell silent and hung their heads.
"What happened?" Phoebe broke the silence.
"Some women drove onto the curb and hit him.." Rachel told her, "I heard the police say something about her being drunk."
"Oh god." Joey ran his finger through his hair, "this can't be happening."
"Excuse me." A paramedic came up to them, "I'd just thought I'd tell you, that we'll be taking Chandler to the hospital now."
"Right, thank you." Ross said, "um. can we come too."
"I'm sorry, only one other person his allowed in the ambulance." He told them.
"Well, I'd better stay here and wait for Mon," Ross said.
"I can, if you like." Joey offered quickly.
"No, I think it might be best, if I tell her."
"Yeah, I agree with Ross." Rachel said.
"Okay," Joey nodded, he didn't want to go to the hospital, what if something happened. He couldn't see his future without Chandler there. He was his best mate, he was his like a brother to him.
"Why don't you go in the ambulance, Joe." Rachel suggested, putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"No!" He said quickly, "I mean, I'll drive up.be easier."
"Right, okay." She said, giving him and concerned look, "I'll go with him then.."
"Okay." Joey nodded.
She handed Emma over to Ross and climbed into the back of the Ambulance and took Chandler's hand as she sat down. The three of them watched as it wailed away, lights flashing and sirens sounding.
"We'll see you soon." Phoebe said to Ross as she and Joey head to the car.
"Yeah, I'll get there as quick as I can." He told them.
"Okay.give Mon a hug from us."
"I will."
Ross and Emma was left alone standing in the middle of the street, the crowd began to walk away, while police officer milled around everything to get the information they need.
"Chandler." Emma slurred again, breaking her father thoughts.
Ross smiled sadly down at her, he kissed the top of her head and then started to head or Monica's and Chandler's apartment. "Come on, sweetie, let go and find Aunt Monica.."
She looked at it twice, just to make sure that she wasn't imagining it but I was still there. She couldn't believe it, their lives were about to be changed forever. A smile spread across her face slowly, she couldn't wait to tell Chandler, he was going to be so happy.
