Chapter 2: That's Chandler's Office!
Monica groaned as she walked in the front door of her house with Rachel and Phoebe behind her. "I think we brought out every baby store in Manhattan" she sad looking at all the bags they each had. "Well of course we did we had Rachel with us" Phoebe teased. "Hey" Rachel whined "Can I help it if I love to shop" she giggled. Monica shook her head. "I'm gonna take these two up to bed" she looked at the sleeping twins. "Okay" they both said. Rachel sat down on the couch. "I'm glad Judy has Emma" she picked up the remote switching in the tv, turning it to the station of her soap opera. "Hey this isn't One Life To Live" she whined "I thought you liked DOOL" Phoebe giggled "Yeah I did but its not good with out Joey so I watch One Life To Live but this isn't it, its a news report about an office building on fire" she whined. "I wanna know who pulled the plug on Tico" she whined "Stupid special reports" she mumbled.
Monica laid the twins down in their cribs kissing them gently. She smiled as she watched them sleep for a minute. "nighty night babies" she whispered grabbing the baby monitor and closing the door behind her. She walked downstairs "Did you put on OLTL Rach" she asked "No! Its a special report some building is on fire" she pouted. "Aww man stupid special reports" she sat down beside Rachel and looked at the tv. The building looked so familiar to her but she couldn't figure out why. Her eyes got wide when she realized why it seemed familiar "Oh my God!" she gasped "What Mon? What's wrong is it the baby" Rachel asked. She shook her head "No th...the building" she pointed at the tv" What about it" Phoebe asked
"It…its Chandler's office building" Monica whispered. Rachel was about to ask if she was sure when a reporter came on giving the address and the name of the advertising firm he worked for. He also mentioned the floor Chandler was on saying the fire was just a few floors below it trapping some employees which the firefighter were working to rescue. Monica began to shake. "Oh God Chandler" she cried "Chandler!" she cried again. "Calm down Mon I'm sure he's fine " Rachel tried to comfort her. "Oh God I..I need to go down there" she cried setting her hand on her stomach. "They won't let you near the building" Monica didn't say anything she was watching the tv. The flames were burning stronger getting closer to Chandler's floor.
Ross walked in "Hey girls how was shopping" He got worried when they didn't respond "Guys what's going on" he asked with concern. Monica burst into tears and Rachel hugged her. Phoebe looked at Ross "Fire" she pointed at the tv. He looked at the tv seeing the burning building "So" he shrugged "It…its Chandler's office" she said "What! Oh my God!" he gasped. Monica pulled away from Rachel "I..I need to go Chandler needs me" she cried "Mon its too dangerous in your condition" Ross whispered "I..I don't care!" she cried. He sighed he understood. If it had been Rachel he'd want to go to her. "Alright I'm going with you" Monica didn't care she just wanted to be with Chandler.
"Rach, Pheebs can you stay with the twins" Rachel nodded "Call us as soon as you hear anything" she hugged him. "I will" he hugged her. Phoebe and Rachel stayed on the couch watching the tv. "Man I feel so bad complaining about not being able to see my soap opera" Rachel whispered tears filling her eyes. "You say you're physic Pheebs please tell me Chandler will be okay" she whispered "I wish I could Rach, I wish I could"
