The spirit twirled her gown again, next they were in a beautiful house in Long Island. Rachel was sitting on the sofa with a magazine and a large diamond was on her finger. She was watching soap operas. Her hair was curly and she was wearing a designer outfit.

"I am confused. That's Rachel and that is the exact description of what she wanted out of life. A doctor and a life of luxury like those other snobs. She got exactly what she wanted." Monica exclaimed.

"Yes, but looks can be deceiving." the spirit said. "Let's listen." she said as they both moved closer.

Rachel was on the phone," Another appointment Barry? Well I know tonight is our anniversary and I just thought you and I would spend it together. Yes I know honey it's your job…but ..I understand..no it's no problem..I'll see you whenever. Bye." Rachel sadly hung up the phone and poured herself a drink.

Monica shed a tear as she looked at her dearest friend. She knew there was only one man for Rachel and that was her own brother.

He had only loved her forever.

"She looks so unhappy, but wait is that the Barry that she almost married.?" asked Monica.

"Barry isn't really working late, he is having an affair with his receptionist. Next week , there will be a conference in Aruba and then Barry will send the divorce papers." the spirit said.

"Rachel doesn't deserve this. She has someone who loves her very much and would never hurt her again."Monica protested.

"Yes, but remember he is just a memory from high school now. Without her moving into your apartment and seeing each other and getting to know him, Rachel would never have fallen in love with Ross." the spirit said.

Rachel turned on Days of our Lives, and took a drink of scotch from her glass. "Oh wouldn't it be wonderful to have a man like that come and sweep you off your feet. There are no men that are that romantic anymore. " she bitterly said.

"Rachel figured that Barry would be the safety net she needed to have the life she dreamed of. Without you, she did not have the courage to leave Barry at the altar when she realized that she didn't love him.

Since she never came to the city, she never had the courage to make her dreams come true, have a child with the man she loved, or step out of that familiar world." the spirit sadly said.

"So Rachel would have never got the opportunity to move to Paris and work for Louis Vuitton , find herself while she worked at Central Perk or fall in love if it wasn't for me." Monica admitted. "I guess she does owe me a lot."

Judy and Jack came running in to the waiting room. Immediately they hugged Chandler. They could see that it had been a long night for everyone. Ross and Rachel were glad that Emma was at her other grandmother's during this crisis.

"So how is she?" Jack asked.

"Well Dad, she 's been in surgery for a couple hours now. We still haven't heard anything, so that is good news." Ross said.

"Where's Chandler,?" asked Judy.

"Went for a walk, Mrs. Geller." answered Joey.

Chandler was outside the hospital. He had to get out of there or he would die. Why is it always hospitals are so confining? He thought of the past few times he had been in a hospital waiting room. They were always happy occasions. A smile came to his face as he remembered Emma's birth. Monica wanted a baby , so they went out of their way to find somewhere to conceive a child. He remembered the birth of his own children with fondness as well. He took a puff on a cigarette and laughed as he remembered his unexpected reunion with Janice that night.

"Well at least you are finding something to laugh at." smiled Rachel as she came up to him and gave him a big hug. "How are you holding up Tiger?" she laughed.

"It was just getting to be too much in there. I know Monica would kill me if she knew I was smoking but I am a nervous wreck. Rachel, I am really frightened, what if she dies? " Chandler said with tears in his eyes. " I can't imagine life without her." He sobbed into Rachel's arms.

"I know how you feel Chandler. It would destroy me if something happened to Ross. But we have to just have the faith that she is going to be fine." Rachel said softly. "I am hurting too, she 's my sister after all."

Ross came out, "Guys the doctor came by and she 's out of surgery but she is still in a coma." he said as he lowered his head.

Chandler stamped out his cigarette, " I am going in there. Even if she isn't awake , she will feel my presence. I feel like I am in one of those hokey Lifetime movies hoping for a Christmas miracle." he said. After that he headed for the hospital doors.

"What do you think are her chances, hon?" asked Rachel with her head buried in his arms.

"Well I was brought up to believe in a good God that wouldn't let something like this happen, but as a scientist , I say that we should hope for the best and prepare for the worst."Ross tried to reason, but still he wept for the sister he dearly loved.

Monica started to cry, "I hate this, I hate seeing the people I love suffering when they had no need to. It doesn't have to be like this , I am beginning to see things clearly now. Please spirit no more." she tearfully said as she clung on to the spirit.

The spirit was sympathetic, "Monica our journey isn't finshed. You have touched these people's lives because destiny willed them together, but there are others, like the one you love. You can not truly learn the lessons you are meant to learn without knowing what you need to know." she said as she backed away from Monica.

"What kind of crap is that?" asked Monica.

"Well it sounded good on paper, Annnyways , now you will see what life is like for one Mr. Chandler Bing… the spirit lifted her gown again. "

I am so loving this," she exclaimed.

Monica looked at the man in the Lazy Boy..she longed to walk over and kiss him. She longed to sit in his lap and tell him how she loved him. She was frozen by how handsome he was, how he made her laugh , and how she had made him feel so bad. She walked over and looked into his deep blue eyes and imagined running her fingers once again through his sandy colored hair. She smiled when she saw the little dimples around his mouth when he smiled.

"Is he married?" asked Monica curiously.

"Yes he is, Chandler has spent a lifetime looking for someone to love him. That was to make up for the love he didn't receive as a child.Finally he found his soul mate and they had "movie love." the spirit explained. "I like that term, so much better than lobsters, so over used." she giggled.

"Who did he marry?" Monica asked nervously. This bothered her a great deal, after all this is the man she loved more than life itself.

"Oh don't worry, in fact you already know her." the spirit laughed.

"I'm home my little Bing A Ling!" the annoying, but familiar voice said.

"Oh no!" cried Monica.

Next the amazing life of Chandler Bing..keep those reviews coming..I love you so much to my fans..
