Hey thanks for updates,,,BTW they live accross the hall but each live on their own!!!!!
"Hey you good to go" Chandler asked Monica as he slipped into her bedroom.
"Yeah phew I am really nervous, though"
Hey we will be ok,it is just an appointment you have explained it to Darren, it will be fine he said cupping her face in his hands"
It had been a few weeks since the new years eve party where Chadnler had suggested to finance the operation, after much consideration Monica had agreed to go to an appointment. It was clear that her and Chandler were serious and Darren had a great relationship with him.
"We are here buddy" Chandler signed to Darren who had been playing with a soft toy all the way.
"Hey,,it will be Ok"Chandler said reaching out his hand to Monica.
"I know its just another appointment but I guess I realise it could lead to something else ya know"
"I know" Chandler squeezed her hand.
"Hi I'm Dr Connolly" The doctor greeted Chandler and Monica as he stepped into his office.
"Well this little guy must be Darren the doctor said gesturing at Darren who was looking suspiciously at the doctor from his lap.
"Hi"The doctor signed to him.
"Well I got Darren's record from your old doctor, he is profoundly deaf I see. The operation would be about four hours long, we have a 90success rate where with the aid of an implant the patient regains most of his hearing." The doctor let out in one big long breath.
"Wow" Monica said "That's a lot of information to take in.
"What would the exact cost be" Monica said vaguely aware of the price but scared to ask.
"Roughly ₳5,000 dollars" The doctor replied matter of factly, off Monicas look the doctor added "Is that a problem"
"No, no problem, at all" Chandler quipped looking over at Monica who was staring at Darren's hands.
"Well what do you think" Chandler said driving away from the hospital.
"Chandler I don't know it's a lot of money" Monica replied.
"Môn, please its honestly nothing to me I don't want to look like I'm blowing my money around I want to do something that would make me feel good, plus I have grown really fond of Darren id like to think I could make a difference" Chandler said staring into the distance.
"Chandler I would love for Darren to have the operation, but I hate to think that I owed you anything" Monica replied frustrated that he didn't seem to understand.
"Môn, I have the money that my father is a multi millionaire he leaves money in my bank every month and I have no way of giving it back to him so I just left it sitting there,Mon there is 6 million in there that I refuse to touch after meeting Darren I realised it was there for a reason" Chandler finally explained he had never let Monica know how wealthy he was.
"6 million, woah,how did he get that"
"He owns night clubs in Vegas and he sends money into my account which normally I refuse to touch but ive recently realised that I should use it for good"
"Santa Claus" Monica joked.
"Well I wouldn't say that" He laughed.
Pulling into his parking space Chadnler turned to Monica "Mon I love you, I love Darren, and I think we have a future so lets do this now instead of two years down the line when your so comfortable with me that you will let yourself, because I'm in this for the long haul are you"
Monica felt her chin being lifted up as Chandler talked "Do you mean it" She whispered.
"Every word" Chandler replied.
"Me too" she replied.
"Here you go" Chandler said handing Monica a cup of coffee and sitting beside her on the plastic chair.
"How are you feeling now" Chandler asked Darren had just been brought into surgery for his operation.
"Oh ive never been so anxious in my life, I just which it was over" Monica sighed.
"I know, I know it's hard" Chandler replied rubbing her back.
"What if something goes wrong Chandler?"
"It wont"Chadnler replied bringing her into a hug, Chandler didn't want to let Monica know how petrified he was, he would feel responsible if anything went wrong.
"Listen the guys are coming soon they will keep us distracted"Chadnler said.
"Oh god I wish it was this time tomorrow" Monica replied.
"Hey guys" Ross and Rachel said running up the hall "When did he go in"
"About half an hour" Monica replied fidgeting with her bracelet.
"How are you sweetie" Rachel asked her.
"Oh nervous as hell, but oh well"Monica laughed.
"He will be fine Monica, you know that" Ross reassured her sensing her nervousness.
"I know I just wish it was over"
"It will be soon honey don't worry" Chandler said.
Three hours later Chandler got up of his seat and started jumping up and down and rubbing his hair.
"You ok there man" Ross asked.
"Yeah fine fine just getting restless you know" Chandler smiled.
"Sweetie do I have to calm you down now"Monica teased glad of a distraction from the knot that gripped her stomach.
"Sorry, sorry I didn't mean to make you nervous" Chandler stopped as he looked up to see the doctor walking towards them.
"Well any news" Monica raised out of her seat.
"Yes Darren is in recovery now, he should be fine, the operation was successful in that we have implanted the hearing device what remains to be seen now is whether he will respond to it"
"Thank you so much" Monica said hugging the doctor "so when will he wake up"
"An hour or so" The doctor replied..
"Oh thank god it was successful" Monica turned around to Rachel, Ross and Chandler who were smiling at her.
Two hours later Monica was sitting beside Darren on his bed as he dozed in and out of sleep.
"Chandler I am going to stay here tonight,you can go home"
"No ill stay with you Mon"
"Chandler please you have work tomorrow I don't want you to be tired."
"Fine"he laughed "ill call in in the morning to Hey"He rose out of his chair to give Monica a kiss goodbye.
"Chandler thank you from the bottom of my heart, this means so much to me"
"No problem" Chandler smiled "I just hope it works" He mused.
"Me too" Monica smiled.
Ok what about that one I dunno where I'm going with this now writers block is forthcoming I think.
