Chapter 17: Heroes

"Chandler!" Monica screamed when she heard him moaning. "Shut up" Blake snapped putting his hand back over her mouth. "Stop moving and enjoy it" he told her when she started squirming under him. Tears rolled down her cheeks as he touched her and set his hand on her stomach "Daddy's here" he whispered grinning evilly. Hearing him say that to her baby bump made her nauseous only Chandler was allowed to talk to her baby bump like that. She tried to fight him but he grabbed her arms "I told you to stop moving" he said as he took her tee-shirt off.

Chandler was starting to come to. He could hear his wife's muffled cries and see her tee-shirt on the floor beside him. He moved a little seeing Blake on Monica trying to remove more of her clothes. His head was pounding but he ignored it he needed to help Monica and his unborn baby they were all that mattered right now. He used all his strength to stand up and grab Blake pulling him off of Monica "I told you to leave my wife alone you sick son of a bitch" he snapped "Mon get out of here go over to Joey and Rachel's" he instructed her while still keeping his grip on Blake who was trying to get free.

Monica slowly got up and grabbed her tee-shirt putting it back on. As she started for the door Blake got free and punched Chandler. "You're not going anywhere" he snarled going toward Monica but just as he reached her he was stopped by Chandler "Get away from her" he demanded throwing a punch. "You shouldn't have done that" Blake stated rubbing his jaw before pulling something out of his pant leg. At first he had the gun aimed right at Chandler but he slowly turned it on Monica "If you leave now and let me have her I'll let her live" he said. "No!" snapped "I'll never let you have her you sick son of a bitch"

Blake shook his head "Sorry Chandler wrong answer" he cocked the gun. Monica trembled, pleading with Chandler with her eyes. He looked at his frightened pregnant wife and he knew what he had to do he lunged at Blake and the two were soon struggling over the gun. Monica screamed when the gun went off. Both men lay motionless at first "Chandler!" Monica cried running over to them. Blood was on both of them. "Chandler, honey" she cried trying to check him to see if he'd been shot. She jumped when a hand clamped around her arm "You're mine" Blake muttered "No" she cried trying to pull away.

When Detective Schwimmer heard the gun shot he ran up the stairs. He drew his gun before setting his hand on the door knob of apartment 20 opening the door and stepping inside. What he saw was Mr. Bing and Blake Donavan lying on the living room floor, Mrs. Bing was kneeling beside her husband her arm being gripped by Blake. "Its time to get what I came for" Blake said pushing Monica down on her back and then getting on top of her, blood staining her tee-shirt. "Blake Donavan you're under arrest for the sexual assault and attempted sexual assault of Monica Bing" Detective Schwimmer announced making his presence known.

"I was found innocent remember" Blake grinned "Give it up Blake its over you're going to prison" Detective Schwimmer moved closer. "Move off the woman and put your hands where I can see them" he instructed. "I don't want to hurt you" he added Blake just laughed "You won't hurt me and I'm not going to jail I'm leaving here with her" he stood up pulling Monica up with him. "Blake this is stupid you're bleeding you need a doctor" he told him upon seeing the blood on his shirt "It's not my blood its Chandler's" he shrugged like it was nothing. "Don't do this Blake just let her go and surrender" he aimed his gun at him "Never" Blake moved Monica in front of him like a shield

Detective Schwimmer knew he couldn't shoot know he couldn't take the chance of possibly hitting Monica. Blake appeared to be winning but just as he reached the door a shot rang out. Blake and Monica fell to the ground. Detective Schwimmer hadn't shot his gun he turned and saw Chandler standing there the gun Blake had dropped from his hand. "Monica!" he ran over to his wife pulling her into his arms. Detective Schwimmer knelt down feeling Blake's neck for a pulse. "He's dead" he announced "Are you okay Mrs. Bing" he asked "I...I am now" she tightened her hold on Chandler causing him to wince. "Mr. Bing are you alright" he asked "I'm fine it's just my shoulder" he answered

Later that night Monica sat on the sofa beside Chandler while the EMT checked his shoulder. She glanced over at the door just in time to see the coroner take out Blake's body. Tears filled her eyes just as she felt a pair of arms wrap around her "Its okay, it's all over now" Chandler whispered following her gaze to the coroner. "I know" she replied softly hugging him tight. She finally felt safe, she finally had her life back.
