Chapter 7: Not Out Of The Woods Yet
The laughter stopped when a doctor approached them "I'm Dr. Pratt" he said "You must be Mrs. Bing" he looked at Monica. She nodded "Yes" she whispered 'How is he, ho…how's Chandler" she asked. "Well Mrs. Bing your husband has a pretty severe case of smoke inhalation" She let out the breath she didn't even know she was holding. "That's not bad right, he'll be okay" she said "Smoke inhalation can be quite serious a number of things are associated with it such as heat damage, asphyxiation, irritation of the lung tissues, respiratory problems and in the most severe case death"
Monica fell back on the chair. Tears filled her eyes "Ar…re you saying my husband could still die" He nodded "His condition is critical" She looked at him "Can I see him" she whispered "Of course" he led her to his room "He's still unconscious and he's been intubated, have a nurse page me if you need me" She just nodded as he walked away. She walked into the quiet room where the only sounds were the machines. Chandler laid in the bed a tube in his mouth and wires all over. She sat down beside the bed. She took his hand gently in hers. "Chandler" she whispered "It's Monica" she ran her fingers gently trough his hair. Tears filled her eyes "I…I love you, so much" she whispered "Yo…you have to be okay I don…don't know how to live with out you" What she just said made her think of a song she really liked. She ran her fingers gently through his hair again as she began to sing softly to him.
How do I
Get through one night without you
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be?
Oh I, I need you in my arms
Need you to hold
Your my world my heart my soul
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything good in my Life.
Without you
There'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There would be no world left for me
And I
Baby I don't know what I would do
I'd be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything real in My life
And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I
How do I
Oh how do I live?...
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything
Need you with me
Baby cuz you know your everything good in my life
And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I
How do I
Oh how do I live
How do I live without you
How do I live without you baby...
How do I live...
"I don't want to live with out you" Monica whispered softly kissing Chandler's cheek before laying her head carefully on her chest, silently crying herself to sleep.
Chandler moved a little opening his eyes. He looked around not knowing where he was at first. His eyes then settled on Monica. Her head on his chest, sleeping. He reached out and gently touched her hair and her face. A few tears slid from his eyes as he thought about how close he came to never seeing her again. He wanted to whisper "I love you" but the tube in his throat prevented him from speaking. He didn't care he was happy seeing her, and touching her. He lowered his hand to her small bump. He rubbed it gently. He'd get to be there to meet the tiny baby that was growing inside. He just wanted to lie there and memorize every feature of his beautiful pregnant wife. He left his hand on her stomach as he closed his eyes, praying she'd still be there when he woke up.
Chapter 8: Waking Up To You… Monica wakes from her nap to a Soon!
