AN: Thanks for replies. I'm hoping to include more Mondler in this chapter thanks for reading!
Ross approached his best friend since childhood, seeing his face looking almost sorry for what he just heard and saw. He didn't know to how to look at him anymore. The friend who he told everything too or the boy who got his sister pregnant and never did anything responsible with his life. He raised his arm, his thist heading towards Chandler's cheekbone when a vision of his sister flying into the angle, holding back the hand with all her power. He looked seeing Monica curled around Chandler, protecting him.
Judy and Jack rushed over seeing the situation getting further out of hand with every breathe being taken. "That's enough of that Ross" Judy interrupted her son, she'd never seen him do anything that resembled any violence. Even when he was bullied in middle school for his dinosaur collections he'd never touch the other boys, let alone use any cruel words to get any sense of payback. He never rebelled against his parents growing up and never didn't visit them between school terms and holidays. She bent down, keeping her head level with her oldest, seeing his eyes showing defeat. She rubbed his shoulder as he slowly stood up. "sorry mate" he muttered. He wasn't sorry, but he knew his parents saw something in him they'd never dream they'd see.
"So this is the father" Jack harshly pointed out, he didn't know how to look at the boy. He was shocked. How could he do this to Ross? He was his best friend and all this time he was the father of his first grandchild and the first person to have sex with his youngest, his baby girl. The fatherly instinct inside him only wanted to break his bones, yet the calmness he felt from seeing how happy and secure Monica looked. She hadn't looked this happy and peaceful since the day she found out she was pregnant. Despite the way he found out about Chandler's involvement, so far he had supported Monica and Eve better than some of their own close family. Chandler nodded in response, his own fears becoming apparent. "I'm going to support your daughter " Chandler had been always on first name basis with the Gellers but considering the reactions recently he knew it would look about and more respectful if he addressed him this way. Monica looked up, smiling to herself; she always wanted him to be there for her, like she wished. "How can I know you won't up and leave her?" he asked questionable. Chandler looked around, holding onto Monica's hand for support and the confidence he needed. "Because I love her, sir" he blurted out. He knew it would mean everything for Monica to hear this. She always wanted that fairytale ending, he'd hear Ross take the mick of her dreams and mock her abilities. Stop her believing anything was possible. "I'm going to be the man she wants" he smiled. Jack looked egar at the young man sat in front of him, he noticed the way he linked hands with Monica, seeing him slowly rubbing her finger. The way he spoke about her, so much love in depth of his eyes that shone out. And yet he stared back at his daughter, the tears escaping as he confessed his love for her. The fairytale ending she always wanted coming true.
"Monica Geller" the surgeon approached Monica, wearing the full suited uniform his job title. The white gown like a thin dressing gown only surrounding his front. The small white hat upon his head, and the mask that was now wrapped around his neck showing the work and stress by the amount of sweat produced on his forehead. "I'm afraid Eve still isn't 100% but we've managed to allow a small hole into her lungs which is getting rid of the extra fluid" he tried to use as less technical words as possible. He'd been doing this profession for longer than the ages of children. He knew how depressed and insecure some relatives could be when the correct technically words were used to describe such easy procedures. He watched her reaction, seeing what he assumed was the father, wrap his arms supportively around the young woman's body, tightening her grip with every cry. "We'll just make sure she's comfort then put her into another ward" the surgeon replied. As he slowly walked back, Judy called out for him "Why is my granddaughter being moved rooms?" she asked, confused to why she couldn't back to same room. "You're granddaughter is now at high risk of infection and other possible sineroes. We need to keep her close to the surgery department and highest up in the hospital" he calmly explained, once again using little terms which clearly explaining himself and his decisions.
"She's going to be.." Chandler began to say before being interrupted by Monica's tounge. "Okay? Was that word you were going to use" she snapped, the anger biting out of her mouth like venin, like Chandler was her victim. She knew it wasn't his fault, and her harsh words were hurting him, but she had to say what she felt. It was the only way to cope. "She's not okay Chandler. What part of what he just said didn't you get? my baby, our baby is going to die and I don't know what to do" she went to sink to the floor, feeling Chandlers arms instantly go to grab and support her, she carefully remained still before almost running away, her body taking over her mind and senses as she found herself on the other side of the door walking towards the exit sign. "She just needs some time alone" Judy suggested, seeing how defeated Chandler looked. She could see the lad was acting tough for Monica, that he was inside defeated and hurting just equally as she was. Chandler nodded, slowly moving other to chairs on the other side of the corridor resting his hands in his face, bringing his head down his knee's finally getting the sleep he deserved. He looked up for a second, seeing that Jack and Judy had gone, assumingly gone to see how Ross was holding up and maybe get track of Monica. "Monica Geller?" another nurse he had not seen walked into the corridor, searching for a young girl with the image of Monica. "She's out somewhere. But I'm the baby's father…" he quickly blurted. It was the first time he addressed himself as the father, it made him feel he some sort of role for once, an important about his name. "Do you want to come see Eve?" she asked him, a small smile appeared as he realised what she was asking. "You mean alone?" he realised at that second he hadn't seen her alone, like just father and daughter since he found out. "Yes sir" she laughed slightly "Yeah" he nodded, following her as she lead him to the room.
