Emma

Chapter 5

Monica and Chandler rushed through the hospital doors with Emma in Chandler's arms. They saw Phoebe and Joey waiting in the waiting room. "What's going on?" Chandler asked running up to a pacing Joey.

"I don't know, they won't tell us because we aren't on their emergency contacts." Joey said a little angry.

Chandler nodded "Here take Emma." He passed her over to Joey. "I'll go find out." He walked towards their room and saw Doctor's talking to other Doctors outside of the room. He went up to them "Hey what's going on?" Chandler ask.

"I'm sorry Sir, who are you?" One Doctor asked.

"I'm..." Chandler was cut off when Doctor Benton came out of the room they were standing outside front of.

"This is Chandler Bing, I called him." He said

The other's nodded and left to give him time to explain what happened.

"Mr. Bing, I have some good news and some bad news." He paused "Ross is slowly coming back...that's the good news."

Chandler was really excited, but wasn't so sure if he would be after he heard the bad news. Then again what could be so bad when he just received the best news he could possibly think of. "What's the bad news?" He asked

He took a deep breath before answering "He could be paralyzed...but we won't be sure until he comes fully through." Chandler couldn't believe what he just heard.

Paralyzed.

"I have one more thing. If Ross is coming through then Rachel could shortly after. It's very likely, for two people who went in a coma around the same time for the same incident." He said "You can go in and see them now if you like, if you need anything I'll be right over here." He said walking away to the front desk, leaving Chandler in the hall to think about what he just heard.

Paralyzed.

Chandler went back to where Phoebe, Joey and Monica were sitting with Emma resting on her lap. He walked up to them. Monica looked up from Emma to Chandler "What did they say?" She asked in a whisper.

"He's waking up." He said with a smile.

There were 'Oh my god, and that's great.' going around, but all Chandler kept thinking about was the last thing the Doctor said to him...

"Honey, what's wrong?" Monica asked braking Chandler's thought's.

Chandler took a deep breath "He could be paralyzed." Everyone didn't know what to say to that. "But if Ross is waking up, Rachel could soon too." He said with a small smile. He looked at Emma in Monica's arms.

Monica saw what Chandler was looking at. "Here, why don't you take her while I go see him." Monica said slowly getting up. Chandler grabbed Emma from her so she can get up fully.

When Monica got up Joey said "I'll go with you."

Monica nodded in response.

Once they reached Ross's room they both went in. Monica went over to Ross's bedside first; with Joey following. She grabbed his hand gently. "Ross?" She paused "Can you hear me?" A couple seconds later Ross slowly moved his fingers in her hand.

I can hear people coming in. Someone grabbed my hand but I don't know exactly who. Ross tried opening up his eyes. Why can't I open my eyes, they feel so heavy, he thought to himself. Someone just called my name. It sounded like Monica. "Can you hear me?" YES, YES! I can hear you. Everything hurts. He tried to move his body...

"Oh my God, he's responding." Monica said feeling his fingers in hers.

Joey got closer "Come on buddy, open your eyes. We need you to open your eyes, everyone is here...Emma is here." Joey said, his voice getting softer.

Emma! My little girl, I wonder how Rachel is doing with her, she can get to be a hand full sometimes, Ross thought to himself.

He tried to open his eyes but they felt to heavy, he tried to say something but nothing came out.

"Come on Ross..." Monica said about to cry. Joey wrapped his arm around her for support.

Ross could hear someone crying beside him. He tried to open his eyes once more.

Joey looked at Ross his eyes were slightly moving. Joey pulled Monica back from him. She looked over at Ross just in time to see his eyes flutter open, then back shut, then open again.

Ross looked over at Monica and Joey sitting on the chair beside him. He gave them a warm smile. "...hey..." He said hoarsely
