Chapter 14: Justice

Monica was smiling as she sat on the yellow sofa in Rachel and Joey's apartment with Rachel "Mon you seem happy the anniversary must have gone well" Rachel winked "Oh it went really well" she grinned "Okay details" Rachel bounced excitedly "Well first Chandler surprised me with a romantic dinner at the Rainbow Room then he took me on a horse and carriage ride through Central Park it got tense when we passed wh…where it happened but Chandler held me and I was okay" Rachel didn't have to ask what it was she already knew. "Wow the Rainbow Room and a horse and carriage ride Chandler really went all out for you" Monica smiled "Yeah he really did" she said "When we got home he gave me this" she motioned to the necklace hanging around her neck.

"Whoa look at those diamonds!" Rachel exclaimed "This must have cost Chandler a fortune! I hope your gift was just as good" she teased "it was I.I gave him me" Monica replied "You? But Mon…" she stopped realizing what she meant "You don't mean" She saw Monica nod "Oh my God! Was it okay" she asked "It was more than okay Rach it was amazing Chandler was so gentle he made sure I was okay and he whispered words of love to me the whole time" she answered "Aww Mon I'm so happy for you" she hugged her best friend. "I'm happy too Rach I finally have my life back" she smiled.

Chandler had come home from work to find his apartment empty he figured Monica would be across the hall telling Rachel about their anniversary he was about to leave when the phone rang he answered it and talked for several minutes before hanging up. He sighed and made his way across the hall. His wife sitting on the sofa smiling and laughing she was finally happy he knew she wouldn't be after this. "Mon" he said softly "Hey Chandler" she smiled "How was your day" she asked standing up to kiss him "Uh it was okay" he said "Honey I need to tell you something" he started

"What is it…what's wrong" she asked concerned "Well when I got home there was a phone call" he told her. "Well who was it" she asked "A Detective Schwimmer he uh…he said they caught the guy who attacked you and they want you to view a line up an…and possibly testify in court" Monica frowned "No" she shook her head "I…I don't ….I can't" tears filled her eyes. "Baby I know you're scared but this guy needs to pay for hurting you" he whispered "Besides I'll be right there with you I won't let him or anyone else hurt you ever again" he promised brushing a tear from her cheek. "O…okay" she whispered. She still didn't want to do it; she didn't want to face the man who'd taken so much from her almost five months ago.

Monica held on to Chandler's hand as they walked into the police station. "Hello a tall good looking policeman greeted them "I'm Detective Schwimmer are you the Bings" he asked "Yes I'm Chandler and this is my wife Monica" Chandler answered "Okay this will be fairly easy, Monica we'll take you to a small room you'll see six men lined up you'll be able to see them but they won't be able to see you, all you have to do is pick out the man you recognize as your attacker " he told her as he led them to a room.

Monica hesitated when she reached the door. "Its okay honey I'm right here" Chandler whispered in her ear giving her hand a gentle squeeze. She took a deep breath and walked in. There was a big glass window in the room it kinda reminded her of a display window at Bloomingdales or Barney's. "When you're ready we'll lift the curtain" Detective Schwimmer explained "I…I'm ready" she said quietly. He nodded and the curtain was lifted. Monica looked at the six men standing there each wearing a number on his chest. When she looked at number four images flashed in her mind, images of the night she was attacked. She began to shake as she slowly lifted her free hand "Th….that one" she pointed at number four "He…he was the one who…who attacked me"

"Are you positive?" the detective asked. "Yes" she whispered burying her face in Chandler's chest. . "Alright thank you" he said nodding again as the men were led out by another officer. "So now what happens" Chandler asked holding his wife close to him. "Well there will most likely be a trial in which your wife will have to testify" he answered. "Bu…but I did Id the guy is…isn't that enough" Monica asked "Yes I understand that but he's already lawyered up claiming there was never a rape that it was consensual" he told her "What! Tha...that's not true I…I'd never cheat on my husband I love him"she cried "My friends saw me afterwards I…I have this scar by my lip" she pointed to a small mark by her lip "I…I saw a doctor sh…she'll tell you" she rambled

"Shh Mon its okay" Chandler hugged her "Bu...But it wasn't consensual Chandler I...I swear" she cried "I know baby, I know" he whispered gently rubbing her back "He's not going to get away with it…he'll pay for what he did to you" Detective Schwimmer watched the couple clinging to each other he felt a connection to the young pregnant woman he secretly made a promise to himself, a promise that he wouldn't let the guy who'd hurt her go free.
