AN: Thanks once again for all your replies. Hopefully this chapter will be more Mondler for you guys! Getting close to finishing this fic.
The room was silent. The only sound that could be heard was Monica's breathing. Her loud pants sounding desperate and painful. She looked up her eyes, slowly opening as she realised she drifted off, she looked over at Eve seeing her body violently moving from side to side as small air escaped out of her mouth. She pressed the button named 'emergency' near the door, she opened it quickly, feeling the wood knock her shoulder as she ran down the corridor til she could find anyone wearing what remotely looked like a uniform.
At the desk at the end of the corridor was the nurse who had first given Eve the tests. She sat the desk chair, her head buried in work papers and books as she listened to other nurses war stories around her. Monica rushed to front the words unbearable as they left her mouth. The tears flooding down her face she gained a small puddle on her t-shirt. "it's Eve. Something's wrong" were the only words that left her mouth, she ran back the nurses quickly following her in canon.
Monica rushed into the room, straight to Eve's side. She felt nurses surround her as they politely asked her to move towards the door as she removed the plastic surrounding the young baby, as they began getting more medically equipment to try helping her breathe. The friendly nurse from earlier moved closer to Monica, leaving the remaining few nurses still around Eve's side. "Monica? I'm afraid Eve isn't breathing properly. We're going to have to take her into theatre straight away. We will be honest, the risks at her age are very high, but we will promise to do the best we can" she rubbed Monica's arm. Seeing the hurt in her eyes as it travelled through her body, watching as she slowly fell down the wall, feeling numb everywhere except her eyes that did not leave her baby's side. Monica slowly moved back up the wall, walking like it was first steps, feeling the rough tiles against her feet. She slowly looked over to see her little girl. Moving her head downwards as she kissed Eve's forehead. The nurses wheeled out Eve, heading towards the door running as they continued down the corridor getting into the lift at the end heading up to the 4th floor to operations courters.
Chandler stood near the lift, as he walked out, he saw Eve and the nurses he recognised from earlier with her, their faces direct as they rushed with the crying baby to a location he didn't know. He ran further up the corridor, going the opposite way to his daughter. In front he saw her. Monica. her face was down, her body was curled up in a ball against the wall of the room. The tears streaming down her face as the mascara marks grew beneath her eyes, she looked up with feeling the touch of chandler's finger against her cheek, providing a dam with his finger as he stopped the tears travelling further. "Mon, what happened?" he asked slowly, holding her hand trying to help encourage the words out, he could feel her heart racing faster than the first time they made love. "I was, just sitting, she wasn't breathing properly. They're operating now" Monica cried harder, her body now facing Chandlers on the floor, her body draped over his. "She'll be fine Monica, she has you" Chandler replied. He tried everything in his mind, wanting to word his next sentence. "What if its my fault?" Monica began thinking. She hadn't slept in over 24hours, her mind was tired, her body ached and now her heart stung. "How can it be your fault?" Chandler asked. Monica shrugged, she began searching for reasons. "Because I never told you" it seemed to her as if she not only deceived Chandler but also Eve. He had only been in there lives for 2days and already was more of a family member to Eve than her own parents. "Monica, listen to me…" he addressed only her, his hand holding her's firmer as he rubbed his finger smoothly across her skin, causing her to look down then straight back up to his face. "This isn't your fault. You weren't ready to tell me. And I understand. I wouldn't of been ready either. Eve has us both now. I won't leave your side Mon. I can't" for the first time Monica believed him. The truth in his eyes. The inner beauty escaping. He moved his head, closer to hers. Feeling his breath on her cheek as they both went in. their lips just touching. Standing opposite them stood Ross, Jack and Judy all shocked, ready to fall over in what they just saw and heard.
