Chapter 10: Recovering

Chandler was sitting up in bed the TV remote in his hand flipping through the channels on the TV mounted to the wall when Monica walked in "Hi sweetie" she greeted him with a smile. "Hey honey" he said his voice still a bit scratchy "I think you've gotten bigger since I saw you" he grinned placing his hand on her expanding belly. "You just saw me yesterday" he rolled her eyes "So how are you feeling today" she asked giving him a kiss. "I'd feel a lot better if I could go home" he replied "I know baby but the doctor just wants to make sure you're recovering properly after that minor set back you had"

"Yeah, yeah what ever" he sighed " So where are Jack and Erica" he asked "They're with Ross and Rachel" she said "They'll bring them later I just wanted a little alone time with you first" she smiled "Oh really" he said "Wanna reenact the night of Emma's birth" he winked as he pulled her down and kissed her. "Chandler!" she started but stopped and grinned, "Ah so you do, don't you" he grinned "No!" she rolled her eyes "Give me your hand" she placed his hand on her stomach. "Did you feel that?" she asked

"Oh my God" Chandler grinned "Was that a kick, did the baby just kick" he asked. "Yeah it did" she nodded with a grin. "Wow" he grinned tears in his eyes. "What's the matter honey" she asked when she saw his tears. "I...I'm happy Mon" he said softly "I'm happy I'm here to feel our baby kick, to see Jack and Erica grow up, to spend my life with you" Monica brushed a tear from his cheek and kissed him "I'm happy you're here to do all those things too Chandler" she whispered "I love you Mon, so much" he kissed her softly

The doctor walked in clearing his throat when he saw the couple kissing. "Uh sorry Dr. Pratt" Monica pulled away blushing. "There's no need to apologize Mrs. Bing" he smiled "I just came to check on Chandler and give him some good news," he said. " I've looked at your most recent x-rays and your lungs appear to be healing really well so you can go home tomorrow" he finished "I felt my baby kick and I get to go home" Chandler grinned "Could this day be any better" Monica laughed "Now there's my Chandler" she hugged him. She was happy he'd recovered from his ordeal and that he was going home with her and their family where he belonged.
