Chapter 17

At the end of April everyone was expectant since the twins would be born at any moment, the probable date of delivery was May 10, but like any first time it could be brought forward or delayed.

Throughout April they were preparing the nursery, one weekend between Ross, Joey and Chandler they painted it its soft pink color, then they arranged the furniture according to Monica's instructions, put away the clothes that Nora had bought, and made room for the supplies that the girls would need. -

Chandler bought a bottle warmer, which was the only thing Nora had a chance to buy for his daughters before his mother thought to do it.

Everything was ready.

The third week of April Nora called Chandler to let him know that the next day she was arriving at JFK, but that he should not go pick her up because she was arriving at dawn, she was going to go directly to the hotel and in the afternoon she would stop by to see them.

Chandler told Monica about her mother's call and added, "So get ready, she's going to get

involved."

"Please Chandler, leave her alone, she just wants to share and help, I get along well with her, so don't worry about me, and you try to be more patient with your mom."

The next day, Chandler tried to get home early from college, he wanted to be home when his mother got home, but he couldn't, when he entered the house, calling Monica, he saw two women sitting on the couch with their backs to him, obviously one was her mother, but the other?

Oh God …! This was Marion.!!!!

Chandler's face lit up with a huge smile, he hugged his mother and then gave Marion a big, long hug.

"You came… I can't believe it!!

"Your mother invited me, we had planned it for months, we wanted to surprise you"

"Thank you mom, you know I love you both, and I'm happy you're here.

Chandler, out of surprise, had not seen Monica in the kitchen.

He ran to give her a kiss, hugged her, and said, "I think you're going to have plenty of help. I don't think I'm going to be able to lift

the girls for a long time. These two are not going to leave me" and everyone laughed.

"Nothing could be more true," said Nora.

"Chandler, you're going to work, because Monica shouldn't be left alone at this point," Marion said.

"Don't worry, I'm not alone for long, when Chandler works, Phoebe and Joey who lives across the corridor come, as well as Rachel or my brother." Monica reassured her.

"Besides, I never turn off the phone, even in class, I already warned the students." Chandler explained.

"Well, now we can stay too, we alternate," Nora said.

"Perfect," Monica said, looking at Chandler, who, behind both women, looked scared.

When Nora turned to look at her son Chandler quickly put a fake smile on his face.

He wanted to enjoy these last days of pregnancy, alone with Monica, pampering her, massaging her feet, talking to her daughters through the belly, but with so many people that will be impossible.

Nora, Marion, Rachel and Phoebe alternated and Monica was never left alone.

A little over a week later, on May 2, Chandler had just started his first morning class when he received a call from Marion, Monica's water had broken and between her and Joey they would help Monica down. The birth had come early.

Chandler turned pale, his legs went weak, he was speechless, the students looked at him

strangely. One of them asked him, "Is something wrong with you, sir?"

Chandler reacted to the question and told everyone, "guys, I have to go Monica already left for the hospital, Oh god! , the girls are about to be born."

The students began to applaud and wished him luck, one of the students told him, "send photos of the girls!!!"

After almost 12 hours of pain and effort, on May 2 at 10 pm Monica gave birth to the girls, 15 minutes apart.

While Monica continued in labor to receive the second girl, the nurse handed Emma to Chandler who looked at her with wet eyes, his body trembling with emotion, and softly said, "You are beautiful, just like mom, I love you." "You will be trapped for the rest of my life."

Monica wanted to see Emma, Chandler brought her closer, but a new contraction prevented her from holding the baby, the nurse asked Chandler for the girl, so he could help Monica with breathing and pushing.

They handed Chandler the new baby, while they helped Monica finish the job.

As soon as Chandler saw her, he said, "Hello Hanna, welcome to our lives, we love you so much, and you will do whatever you want with me."

He approached Monica, whose face was wet with sweat and tears, and put Hanna on her chest.

"She has Hanna's face. She looks good to you," Chandler asked.

"Love, the name is beautiful,…. and Hanna is beautiful, tell them to give me Emma, I couldn't see her well."

Chandler asked the nurse to bring Emma over for Monica to see.

At that moment someone asked him, "Mr. Emma will have a middle name," Chandler looked at Monica, "You think Emma Phoebe is the first and Hanna Rachel is the second..." Monica, with tears bathing her cheeks, told him "they are both beautiful,"

The nurse came back and asked them both what their last name was, and Monica quickly said "Bing, B, i, n, g" and Chandler said, "no love, better Geller-Bing" … and Monica with a huge smile she said "I love that last name."

When the four of them were already in the room, the nurse let the visitors in, although she warned them that they would only have 15 minutes, visiting hours had ended a couple of hours ago and there were too many people.

Everyone wanted to hold the babies, Jack was super excited, he hugged Chandler, "thank you son"

"Sorry dad? "I was the one who went into labor," Monica said, raising her eyebrows.

"Yes, but he did a great job… he got two with one shot," said Jack.

Everyone laughed except Judy who gave him an icy look, after all, there was Nora and Marion and they just met them.

"How do you know which is which?" Joey asked.

Chandler laughed, "Look for now because the name is on heir's bracelets" and laughed.

"They can't live their entire lives with that bracelet, when we get home we check them well, they must have some sign, a mole, something that differentiates them" Monica added.

Marion laughed, "Guys, Emma has slightly darker brown hair, Hanna has the swirl that Chandler has on top of his head, so he always looks disheveled. And I don't know why, since it's still early, but it seems to me that they have different eye colors, Emma more like Monica's and Hanna more like Chandler's, I'm wrong there, but I have some intuition when babies are born."

"Oh yes," Rachel said as she had Hanna in her arms, "the swirl is perfectly noticeable…"

"It's true," said Monica, "Marion, you have a good eye…"

"As long as she doesn't come out with the pope's character, swirling," Nora said, laughing out loud.

Chandler looked at her out of the corner of his eye, but Nora approached him, hugged him and gave him a hard kiss on the cheek, "I love you, in my strange way of showing it, but I love you."

Chandler smiled, "I love you too, although sometimes I fight you, I still love you."

When everyone left, and the nurses took the girls away, Monica fell asleep immediately, she was exhausted.

Chandler lay down on the couch next to the bed.

At midnight Monica woke up and called him.

"Chandler, can you stay here, next to me and hug me?

"Of course I love this" and he lay down next to Monica, on the blankets, and after a tight hug he began to give her small kisses on the forehead.

"In the delivery room I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make it…" said Monica

"love, but you could have, you are strong, we have two healthy and beautiful girls"

"Yes, but I don't know if you're going to convince me to go through this again…" Monica told him with a small smile.

"Mon, time will tell, maybe the desire to give the girls a little brother will make you forget this day…" Chandler said with a big smile.

Chandler got out of bed… "Where are you going?" Monica asked.

"You'll see" and he went to the sack that he had hung on a chair. -

Chandler came back and sat next to Monica.

"Mon imagined a thousand ways to do this, romantic, fun, alone, with the family, but I think this is the best place and time…and taking out a small box from his pocket he said "¿Mon, would you marry this fool and fake English, stubborn, phobic, who finds it difficult to overcome some things from his past, but who loves you madly, to who you changed his life, you destroyed all his obstinacy and now he wants nothing more than to spend the rest of his life with you?"

He opened the box and in it was a beautiful engagement ring with two perfect diamonds in the center and with small diamonds around it.

Monica was crying almost unable to speak, but she screamed YES I MARRY YOU!!!

Chandler put the ring on her.

"It's beautiful," Monica said.

"Did you notice something Mon?

"No, about what?

"The girls were born last night, on May 2, exactly one year ago yesterday we met in London at the door of my house." Chandler said excitedly and with a smile that filled his face.

"Oh God, …. you're right …. They were born on our anniversary, who was going to say that day, although the electricity was very very strong, this anticipated something" Monica said laughing

They hugged once more and little by little they both fell asleep, Monica with her head on Chandler's shoulder.

A couple of days later, Monica and the girls were discharged from the hospital and they all came home. -

Nora and Marion stayed four more days and helped with the girls, since Rachel and Phoebe had to work.

Chandler took a week's leave to help out at home.

Since arriving home, he had noticed Monica more irritable, her mood changed and suddenly he found her in the room crying, but after Nora and Marion left and they were both alone, Monica's character worsened.

Nothing he did with the girls suited her and she ordered him to leave her, which she knew.

She questioned the temperature of the bottles, which Chandler heated in the appliance, and did not let him change the girls because, according to her, he did it wrong.

Chandler said, "Mon, if I do it wrong, show me how to do it right and I'll help you."

"Look, I don't have time to waste teaching you," Monica replied.

If he approached to hug her to calm her down, she pushed him away, "with hugs the care of the girls is not going to be relieved, that doesn't help me at all."

She also criticized the food that Chandler prepared, she didn't even try it, practically, except for something for breakfast and some sandwiches during the day, she didn't eat anything else.

Even when friends were around, Monica continued to berate Chandler all the time on whatever he did.

Rachel and Phoebe looked at her surprised because, although they knew that she was controlling and bossy, she had never gone to such an extreme with anyone. In fact, when she complained about something done wrong, she did it firmly, but kindly, but her treatment of Chandler seemed to them an excess.

On the other hand, everyone noticed that Chandler never answered her or fought with her, he kept quiet about her, and let her do her thing.

Chandler returned to work the following week, but the classes were not able to improve his mood, he felt dejected, disconcerted, he did not understand what was happening, but he did not like what he felt, he had the horrible feeling of being 9 years old again.

They had been going through this situation for almost two weeks, until Thursday when Chandler came home from work, tried to talk to Monica, asked her to sit on the couch and talk to see what was happening.

"What's going to happen, nothing, you go to work happily and I'm left alone taking care of everything" Monica replied rudely.

"Mon, all these days I have been trying to help you, but you won't let me."

"Because you do everything wrong and I waste time fixing your mistakes," Monica replied.

"Mon, it's impossible for me to do everything wrong when in reality you don't let me do anything."

"That's a stupid excuse of yours Chandler, just to do nothing, you do everything wrong on purpose to do nothing…"

"Mon, that's not true."

"Are you calling me a liar?" Monica yelled at him.

"No love, I'm not telling you that you're lying, I just feel that you're nervous, irritable and

everything makes you angry."

"Are you saying I'm crazy?

Chandler at that point was already getting angry, he had been enduring constant irritation and criticism from her for days, and he realized that he could no longer keep what he felt.

With a louder voice, Chandler told her, "don't twist my words, I didn't say you were crazy, I just said that you're obviously nervous, irritable, and I don't understand why."

"Now you're yelling at me, you want to know why, because you're useless" and getting up from the couch while she opened the nursery door she yelled at him "I can't stand you anymore, I don't want to see you anymore."

That last phrase was the one Chandler had heard throughout his childhood, his stomach turned into knots, other things he had learned from his past was that he would never tolerate a life as a couple like his parents', until now everything had been perfect, but nothing is perfect forever…. If Monica didn't want to see him anymore, she wouldn't see him anymore, of that he was sure.

He went to his bedroom, looked for a bag, quickly put some of his clothes in, took two of his suit holder out of the closet, and left, banging loudly on the door.

Hearing the blow, Monica came out.

"Chandler, what was that blow?" but nobody answered.

She said again in a louder voice, "Chandler, where are you? Someone knocked on the door," but no one answered.

She entered their room and saw that Chandler's closet was missing clothes, she went to the living room closet and the suit racks were missing... "God…. He's gone…. Why did he leave...?
