Monica fell back on the chair. Tears filled her eyes "Ar…re you saying my husband could still die" He nodded "His condition is critical" She looked at him "Can I see him" she whispered "Of course" he led her to his room "He's still unconscious and he's been intubated, have a nurse page me if you need me" She just nodded as he walked away. She walked into the quiet room where the only sounds were the machines. Chandler laid in the cama a tube in his mouth and wires all over. She sat down beside the bed. She took his hand gently in hers. "Chandler" she whispered "It's Monica" she ran her fingers gently trough his hair. Tears filled her eyes "I…I amor you, so much" she whispered "Yo…you have to be okay I don…don't know how to live with out you" What she just said made her think of a song she really liked. She ran her fingers gently through his hair again as she began to sing softly to him.
How do I
Get through one night without you
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be?
Oh I, I need you in my arms
Need you to hold
Your my world my coração my soul
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything good in my Life.
Without you
There'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no amor in my life
There would be no world left for me
And I
Baby I don't know what I would do
I'd be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything real in My life
And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I
How do I
Oh how do I live?...
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything
Need you with me
Baby cuz you know your everything good in my life
And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I
How do I
Oh how do I live
How do I live without you
How do I live without you baby...
How do I live...
"I don't want to live with out you" Monica whispered softly beijar Chandler's cheek before laying her head carefully on her chest, silently crying herself to sleep.
Chandler moved a little opening his eyes. He looked around not knowing where he was at first. His eyes then settled on Monica. Her head on his chest, sleeping. He reached out and gently touched her hair and her face. A few tears slid from his eyes as he thought about how close he came to never seeing her again. He wanted to whisper "I amor you" but the tube in his throat prevented him from speaking. He didn't care he was happy seeing her, and touching her. He lowered his hand to her small bump. He rubbed it gently. He'd get to be there to meet the tiny baby that was growing inside. He just wanted to lie there and memorize every feature of his beautiful pregnant wife. He left his hand on her stomach as he closed his eyes, praying she'd still be there when he woke up.
Dr. Pratt walked into Chandler's room. He smiled when he saw his wife sleeping with her head on his chest. "Are you ready to get that tube out Mr. Bing" Chandler nodded "Okay I want you too take a breath as I pull the tube out" He nodded. Once the tube was out he coughed a little. "How's your chest" the doctor. "Hurts" he answered hoarsely. "That's to be expected you took in quite a bit of smoke" He checked all of Chandler's vitals 'Well everything looks good I'll be por to check on you before the end of my shift" he said "When can I go home" he asked "I'd like to keep you here a few days for observation" he just nodded as the doctor left.
Chandler turned his attention to his sleeping wife. "I amor you" he whispered brushing his fingers gently through her hair. Monica stirred a little opening her eyes. "Chandler" she whispered when she saw his beautiful blue eyes looking back at him. "Hey beautiful" he whispered back. She sat up and threw her arms around him "Oh Chandler I…I was so scared" He wrapped his arms around her too. It felt so good to hold her "I was too" he admitted softly. She pulled away and looked at him "I amor you" she said her eyes filling with tears. "I amor you too" he reached up and gently brushed away her tears as he leaned in beijar her softly.
Once the kiss ended he just sat there staring at her with tears in his eyes. "Chandler, honey what's wrong" she asked "I...I though I'd never get to see you again, to hold you again, or tell you I amor you again" he said "You, the kids and the guys were all I could think about" he whispered "When I woke up and saw you I..I was afraid it was all a dream that if I tried to touch you you'd disappear" She gently took his hand and set it on her chest "I'm still here" she whispered "I'll always be here" He was about to respond when he started coughing and holding his chest. "You okay sweetie" she asked, "Yeah the doctor said I took in a lot of smoke so this is normal" she nodded "When can you go home" she asked "Dr. Pratt said probably in a few days"
Chandler saw Monica yawn, "You still sleepy baby" he whispered. She nodded a little. "You should go início you both need plenty of rest" he set his hand on her stomach. "I'll be fine Chandler" He sighed, "Mommy's so stubborn" he teased rubbing her stomach. "No mommy just doesn't want to leave daddy" He shook his head "Mon I promise I'm not going anywhere besides Jack and Erica need you" he said "They're fine Pheebs and Rach are bringing them por later " He looked at her "Mon" She sighed "Fine I give up" she groaned "I'll be back soon" she leaned down beijar him "You should get some rest too" she said "I will I mean there's not much else to do around here" he joked. "Joking already huh" she teased "Love you" she said as she headed out "Love you too" he called watching her leave.
Monica returned and hora later bringing Phoebe, Rachel, and the twins with her. She smiled when she saw Joey and Ross had stayed like they promised. "Hey guys" she grinned "Mon" Ross whispered. 'What is it, what's wrong" she asked "Its Chandler" he said softly. "Oh God" she whispered tears filling her eyes. "Wh..what happened i...is he okay" she asked "Mon he.".
Monica returned and hora later bringing Phoebe, Rachel, and the twins with her. She smiled when she saw Joey and Ross gad stayed like they promised. "Hey guys" she grinned "Mon" Ross whispered. 'What is it, what's wrong" she asked "Its Chandler" he said softly. "Oh God, oh no what happened" she cried "Mon he was having trouble breathing th…they had to intubate him again" he whispered "and they took him for a chest x-ray" Joey added. Monica sat down "But he…he's gonna be okay right" she asked "The uh, they don't know yet" Ross whispered sitting beside her.
"Dada" Erica giggled softly in her mother's arms. Monica held her daughter closer to her "I…I shouldn't have left him" she cried "Mon its not your fault" Rachel tried to assure her. "He was fine when I left Rach!" he was fine!" she cried. Rachel handed Jack to Phoebe and sat down beside Monica hugging her "I know Mon but its not your fault you did nothing wrong" she whispered "Yes I did! Monica cried, "I left him!" Rachel didn't know what else to say so she just kept hugging her.
Dr. Pratt walked down the hall towards the group of friends "Mrs. Bing" he said softly Monica looked up to see her husband's doctor "Is he okay? Is Chandler okay?" she asked "Well he needed help to breath so we had to intubate him again" he told her. "We also took him for a chest x-ray unfortunately he has mais damage to his lungs than we thought," he said "Bu…but he seemed fine when I left wh…what happened" she asked
"Is your husband a smoker Mrs. Bing"? Dr. Pratt asked "He was but he stopped a little over two years atrás we had a huge fight about it and he promised me he'd quit which he did" Monica answered "But before that the was a smoker right" he asked "Uh yeah off and on since he was nine" she said "Yeah I even offered him seven thousand dollars to quit" Phoebe added "Uh okay" the doctor gave her a look "Anyway even though he quit there's still damage from his years of smoking which means the effects of the fogo were worse for him and it will take him a little longer to heal" he explained
"So then he'll be okay" Monica questioned, "We're going to have to monitor him closely but yes he should be fine" Dr. Pratt answered. "Ca...can I see him" she asked "Yes of course" he smiled "Thank you" she whispered as she stood up taking Jack from Phoebe. She walked to Chandler's room. He was lying in cama sleeping the tube back in his throat. "Dada!" Erica squealed reaching for him. Chandler opened his eyes when her heard his little girl he tried to smile when he saw her and her brother in her mommy's arms.
"Hey baby we didn't mean to wake you" Monica whispered beijar his cheek. He held his arms out for Erica and Jack "Are you sure" she asked. When he nodded she set the twins in his arms he cuddled them close to him. Monica stood there watching them tears running down her face. Chandler motioned for her to come to him. She snuggled in his embrace with their babies. "I …I was so scared" she whispers. Chandler gently brushed her tears away and set his hand on her stomach "I…I amor you Chandler so much" she said softly. He stroked her hair and held her close trying his best to make her feel better with out words.
Ross, Rachel, Joey and Phoebe stood quietly in the doorway watching them holding their bebês and each other. "They're gonna be okay right" Joey whispered "Yeah I think they are Joe" Ross smiled wrapping his arm around Rachel as he watched Chandler and Monica. He knew they'd be fine. Their amor was so strong they could comfort each other with out words.
Chandler was sitting up in cama the TV remote in his hand flipping through the channels on the TV mounted to the mural when Monica walked in "Hi sweetie" she greeted him with a smile. "Hey honey" he said his voice still a bit scratchy "I think you've gotten bigger since I saw you" he grinned placing his hand on her expanding belly. "You just saw me yesterday" he rolled her eyes "So how are you feeling today" she asked giving him a kiss. "I'd feel a lot better if I could go home" he replied "I know baby but the doctor just wants to make sure you're recovering properly after that minor set back you had"
"Yeah, yeah what ever" he sighed " So where are Jack and Erica" he asked "They're with Ross and Rachel" she said "They'll bring them later I just wanted a little alone time with you first" she smiled "Oh really" he said "Wanna reenact the night of Emma's birth" he winked as he pulled her down and kissed her. "Chandler!" she started but stopped and grinned, "Ah so you do, don't you" he grinned "No!" she rolled her eyes "Give me your hand" she placed his hand on her stomach. "Did you feel that?" she asked
"Oh my God" Chandler grinned "Was that a kick, did the baby just kick" he asked. "Yeah it did" she nodded with a grin. "Wow" he grinned tears in his eyes. "What's the matter honey" she asked when she saw his tears. "I...I'm happy Mon" he said softly "I'm happy I'm here to feel our baby kick, to see Jack and Erica grow up, to spend my life with you" Monica brushed a tear from his cheek and kissed him "I'm happy you're here to do all those things too Chandler" she whispered "I amor you Mon, so much" he kissed her softly
The doctor walked in clearing his throat when he saw the couple kissing. "Uh sorry Dr. Pratt" Monica pulled away blushing. "There's no need to apologize Mrs. Bing" he smiled "I just came to check on Chandler and give him some good news," he said. " I've looked at your most recent x-rays and your lungs appear to be healing really well so you can go início tomorrow" he finished "I felt my baby kick and I get to go home" Chandler grinned "Could this dia be any better" Monica laughed "Now there's my Chandler" she hugged him. She was happy he'd recovered from his ordeal and that he was going início with her and their family where he belonged.
