Emma

Chapter 3

An hour after they got to the hospital the Doctor walked in the room to discuss the latest news of Ross and Rachel and if they were improving sense the day they brought them in.

"We ran some test over night and..." He paused "I'm sorry to say that nothing has changed. They still don't seem to be responding nor are they getting much better..." He said talking to Chandler and Monica in the room. Emma was looking out the window at the rain that was now falling.

"Doctor how long is it going to take for them to show signs of waking up?" Chandler asked cutting him off.

"Well, most comas last no longer than four weeks. However, some people in a coma shift to a persistent vegetative state, which can last for years, depending on the medical circumstances and the cause. But in this case..." He looked at Ross and Rachel "It could take a while."

"How long is a while?" Monica asked

"A few months." He saw the looks of devastation on their faces and continued "That is only if they appear in the same state they are today, for the next couple days." He explained.

"We can't wait that long. Emma needs her parents. She's only five years old." Chandler said getting upset.

"I understand that sir. We are doing the best we can." The Doctor said

"Well can't you..."

"No, we can't do anything right now. All we can do, is wait. I'm sorry." He said cutting Chandler off and walking out the door.

Chandler walked through the door to his and Monica's apartment with a sleeping Emma in his arms. "I'm going to go put her down." He said softly. He walked towards the guest room. Chandler didn't bother putting on her pajamas tonight he just took off her shoes and lied her under the blankets. He then kissed her on the forehead "Goodnight." He whispered and turned on the night light next to her bed.

Once Chandler came back out he saw that Monica fell asleep on the couch. He went over to his sleeping wife and carefully lifted her up off the couch.

Monica felt Chandler lift her up, she wrapped her arms around him and rested her head in the crook of his neck. Chandler carried her to their bedroom. He lied her softly on her side of the bed. "I love you." He whispered and kissed her on her forehead.

"I love you too..." She replied back

Chandler looked back at her "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." He said getting into his pajamas

"You didn't."

Chandler gave her a warm smile "Did you want to sleep in that or are you going to change?" He asked

She hesitated before answering "Well I don't feel like getting up and getting my pajamas on..." She said seductive

He turned around from sitting on the edge of the bed "I could help you with that." He grinned and got out her pajamas.

He climbed over her and began to undo her pants button with his teeth. Monica couldn't help but laugh. She lifted him up "Chandler! No...start up here." She said as he climbed to her lips and gave her a passionate kiss.

It's been a week sense the accident; Emma went back to school and had all her friends draw on her cast. They ended up celebrating Christmas without Ross and Rachel. It wasn't the same so they didn't have a big get-together, just the three of them. Emma didn't want to open any of her presents, all she wanted for Christmas was her mommy and daddy to get better and come home.

Chandler and Monica were in the room with Ross and Rachel. They were watching Emma talking to her parents without a care in the world. All of a sudden they heard this long beeping sound coming from Ross's machine. Then the Doctors came running through the door. Chandler quickly grabbed Emma and moved her out of the way. The Doctors hurried and looked over to the machine "We have to get him out of here now!" One said and the others rushed him out.
