Chapter 15: Going To Court

Monica sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror she was dressed in a black skirt and gray sweater that showed her growing bump. "Hey honey, are you ready to go" Chandler asked as he came in the room. "No" she whispered "I…I don't want to do this" she said "I…I don't want to see him again" she added softly "I know honey but it'll be okay I'll be there and so will the guys" he took her hand "Besides he'd have to go through me to get to you and that will never happen" he kissed her hand. "I love you Chandler, so much" she hugged him "I love you too" he held her for a minute before pulling away "Come on lets go" he took her hand again.

In the living room Ross, Rachel, Joey and Phoebe were waiting for them. "Hey guys" Monica greeted them softly "Hey Mon, how you doin" Rachel asked "Hey that's my line" Joey teased trying to lighten the mood. Monica laughed softly "I'm okay I just wish I...I didn't have to do this" she whispered "Mon..." Chandler started "I know" she nodded "I have to" she whispered barely heard. "It'll be okay sis we'll all be there with you" Ross told her "Yeah I know Chandler told me the same thing" she replied "I…I 'm glad you'll all be there, bu...but I'm still scared I…don't want to see him" she whispered "Don't worry Mon just let him try anything I'll put a curse on him, you know what I am gonna put a curse on him for hurting you" Phoebe claimed "Thanks Pheebs" she answered with a little smile "Come on guys we better get going we have to be in courting an hour" Chandler said taking Monica's hand as they left the apartment.

A little later they arrived at the courthouse. Chandler knew how scared and nervous Monica was. "It'll be okay baby…I'm right here" he whispered in her ear before they walked into the room. Monica's attacker was sitting at one of the tables whispering to his lawyer he stood up when he noticed her. He glared at her and her baby bump as she walked past him. Monica tightened her grip on Chandler trembling slightly. "Its okay" he whispered "I love you" he kissed her cheek as they took their seats. A good looking man about their age smiled at them "Hi are you the Bings" he asked. "Yes we are I'm Chandler and this is my wife Monica" Chandler answered "I'm Will Truman your attorney" he held out his hand. Chandler shook it right away but Monica hesitated before shaking it.

The judge entered and the trial began. Monica attacker Blake Donavan was called to the stand his attorney asked him to tell the court what happened. He told the court he did have sex with Monica but it was consensual. "Th…That's not true" Monica whispered to Will tears filling her eyes "Its okay Mrs. Bing I'll have my chance to cross examine him" he told her "What are the chances of him walking Mr. Truman" Chandler asked "Well with the doctor who treated your wife testifying, your wife's testimony and the evidence collected I'd say very slim"

As the trial went on Monica was called to the stand "I… I don't know if I...I can do this" Monica whispered "I'll be right here baby just look at me if you need to" Chandler whispered kissing her cheek as she stood up. Once she was sworn in Blake's lawyer started in on her "Mrs. Bing isn't it true you willingly had sex with my client but told your husband it was rape to hid the fact you had cheated on him" he asked "No!" she cried "That's not true I wasn't willing! He…he raped me" she cried "I…I had bruises all over me I…I still have scars" she pointed to the small scar near her lip "That doesn't mean anything maybe it was rough sex" the lawyer claimed "Wh...What do I look like to you" she asked "You tell me Mrs. Bing you're the one who took the virginity of a seventeen year old boy, slept with a man twenty one years older than you and got so drunk you had sex with your best friend while on vacation in London"

Monica stared at the lawyer in shock how did he know so much about her sex life. Will stood up "Your honor I object what does my client's past have to do with this trial" he stated "Sustained" the judge banged her gavel. The lawyer glared at Will before turning back to Monica "So Mrs. Bing how far along are you in your pregnancy" he asked "Twenty one weeks…why" she whispered "Is it true that my client is the father and you're worried he'll want claims to the child" he asked "Wh…what… no" she shook her head placing her hand on her bump tears filling her eyes.

The lawyer said he had no further questions and took his seat Will stood up and asked Monica for her account of what happened the night of her attack. Tears ran down her face and she trembled as she told the court the details of her attack. Chandler wanted to go up there and comfort her but Rachel gently held him back. Will then asked about the paternity of her unborn child she looked over at Chandler before saying he was the father of her child. Chandler gave her a smile. Dr. Lewis was called to the stand showing the court pictures of Monica from the night of her attack showing the bruises on her face, arms and legs. She described the evidence she collected and the injuries she found to her labia and vagina. Dr. Lewis stated that in her medical opinion that the bruising and injuries Monica received were not the result of rough sex but of sexual assault. The Jury was excused to make a decision.

An hour later the jury had returned. The judge looked at Blake Donavan "Please rise" He did as instructed "Have you reached a verdict" she asked the jury leader. "Yes we have your honor" she stated handing the slip of paper to the bailiff who handed it to the judge she read it and nodded to the juror. "We the people find the defendant Blake Donavan…..
