Chapter 10: A Surprise Visitor
Chandler sat in his hospital bed Monica in his arms. She sighed softly laying her head on his shoulder. "What is it?" he asked softly "Nothing" she whispered "Mon I've known you long enough to know its never nothing" he teased. Monica lay there silently for a minute. "I…I'm scared" she finally whispered. "Of what" he asked, "Of losing you" she felt her eyes welling up with tears. "You're not losing me honey, I'm right here" he tightened his arms around her kissing the top of her head. "Wh...Why did you have to stop me I…I could save you" her tears now ran down her face.
He loosened his grip on her slightly so he could look at her. "Mon, honey being a mother has been your dream for such a long time I…I couldn't let you give up your dream" she whispered "Bu…but you 're part of that dream Chandler" she cried softly "I know" he said 'it'll be okay we're gonna find a match" he promised her. "But wh…what if we don't" she whimpered. "We will Mon" he said softly "I plan on beating this so I can be here to take care of both of you" he entwined his hand with hers setting them both on her stomach.
"Both of you" Ross asked as the guys walked in. "Who else are you talking about besides Mon" Chandler sighed looking at Monica not knowing if she wanted to tell them. She looked down at her hand entwined with his and then back at her friends "I uh, I'm pregnant" she whispered "Th…that's why I couldn't give Chandler my marrow" she whispered "What?" Rachel whispered; "Yo…you mean you were match" Monica nodded. "I…I was going to end the pregnancy bu...but Chandler stopped me" she told them "Oh my God" Rachel gasped "I…I can't believe you were really gonna do that" Tears filled Monica's eyes "I was doing it for Chandler I…I could have saved him"
Chandler pulled her closer to him. 'Shh its okay" he whispered. "No its not, you could die " she sobbed. Ross walked over to the bed sitting beside them. "Mon none of us are gonna let Chandler die okay" he said softly "You're a scientist Ross you know that we might not be able to stop it" he sighed "Look Pheebs told us earlier that she had a feeling Chandler would be okay that we'd find a match I know I've made fun of her feelings before but this time I really believe her" Monica glanced at Phoebe. "Its true Mon I did say that" she said "I know he'll beat this" she added. " Bu…but how if there's no match" she whispered "We'll find a match that's how"
Joey stood there quietly watching his best friend sitting there holding the woman he loved and they were having a baby. He'd known how much Chandler liked Monica for a while now but it didn't seem fair that now when he finally had her why did this have to happen when they both finally had what they wanted most. Each other. He hoped they'd find a match for Chandler, Monica needed him, he needed him they all needed him. "Hey Joe you okay over there " Chandler asked "Uh yeah just thinking" he answered "About me right" He nodded "Its not fair man you shouldn't be sick" he said "You're Chandler you're suppose to be telling us jokes and being all sarcastic not laying in a hospital bed "
I know Joe" Chandler said softly "I wish I weren't in this bed I miss our apartment, Mon's apartment, Central Perk, hell I even miss work" he said "and you know how much I hate my job" he added chuckling slightly. "I'm gonna beat this I have too much to live for" he kissed Monica's cheek looked down at her stomach and then at the four of them. "Yeah but Mon's right what if we don't find a match I mean its not like the perfect match will walk through that door" As Joey pointed to the door it opened and someone walked in. "Whoa" Joey whispered looking at his finger "I'm good!" Chandler laughed a little looking towards the door. He was stunned to see who was standing there. "Dad" he whispered.
