The One Where Everything Gets Confusing...
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters.
A/N: This is my first friends fic, so I'm sorry if it really sucks. Please review! I'll write more chapters if I get good reviews. ^-^ Also, this is supposed to take place after TOW Joey and Rachel Go On A Date or whatever it's called.
Chapter 1- The One Where Joey and Rachel Admit Their True Feelings (need to work on shorter titles)
Joey lay in his bed. What had happened last night? He was on a date with a gorgeous woman who was totally his type, but all he could think about was Rachel. And what was with the whole Cujo thing? She did pull him close. But was it in a friendly big brother way, or a more romantic way? Where were these feelings coming from? He had never thought of Rachel this way but now... What could he do? He loved her, and he knew she loved him, but not in the way he wanted.
Joey heard some noises from the next room and shortly heard Rachel calling him.
"Joey! I need some... help!!!" Rachel shouted. He began to panic.
"What, what??? Is the baby coming???"
"No, of course not! I can't get to the bathroom and I need to... oh whoa, whoa... Nevermind," she said more softly and fell back asleep. Joey went into her room. She was just so beautiful to him, and not in a gorgeous model way, though he thought she could be. No, she was beautiful in a best friend, sweet, funny, intelligent, beautiful human being. He sighed. He couldn't love Rachel, he just couldn't. It was out of the question. He pulled her blanket up to her shoulders and watched her for a few hours, sleeping. Would he ever be able to admit his true feelings?
"Joey, have you seen my baby names book?" Rachel asked.
"Uh... wha, what?" Joey wondered. He could barely stand to just be around her without turning into a total mess.
"Baby names book? It's getting closer and closer to the day and I decided it would be good to flip through it... Joey? What is up with you?" Rachel asked.
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing at all," Joey said. "Why do you ask?"
"Well you're acting odd and, honey, you haven't even eaten breakfast this morning. You never skip a meal. Is anything wrong?"
"Well see...," Joey said, about to make something up, but then decided what the hell. He loved her and he wouldn't be able to be around her until he told her.
"Lately I've been... feeling weird about you and..." Joey began, trailing off.
"Is it because of the baby? Because I told you that it would start to get weird. I can move out if you want--," Rachel started.
"No! No... It's just... I didn't know what these feelings were before our date a few nights ago and that's when I realized. I love you Rachel Green," Joey said.
"What? I mean, you can't love me! You're Joey! You... Me... I don't know I mean..." Rachel said in a panic. Where had those feelings come from?
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have said anything," Joey said dismayed. "I'll go now."
"No, I'm glad you did."
"I'll just go now though. You can have time to think about it," Joey said.
"No Joey, wait." Something about the urgency in her voice made him stop.
"What?" he asked, ready for his heart to be broken.
"I love you too," Rachel said.
"Really?" Joey said hopefully.
"Really. I just realized now that you're Joey. Instead of being roommate Joey you're... *sighs* Joey. I've been having feelings like that too and I didn't understand what they meant until you told me how you felt," Rachel said.
"Really???" Joey asked. She laughed.
"Yes." Joey and Rachel kissed passionately and then broke apart.
"How YOU doing?" Joey asked. Rachel laughed and then kissed him again. Suddenly she stopped.
"What's wrong?" Joey wondered, afraid he had done something wrong.
"Ross."
"Joey," Joey said.
"No... I'm pregnant," she said.
"I know...," Joey said, not sure where she was going with this.
"I'm pregnant with Ross' baby," she said.
"Oh."
"How are we going to tell everyone? How am I going to tell Ross?" Rachel panicked.
"Well Monica and Chandler got together. Why can't we?" Joey asked.
"I don't know it's just... everyone always said Ross and I would get back together. And now... this will just sort of be a slap in the face," she said.
"Shhh. It's ok. Stop worrying about it. I'm here," he said.
"I know. Thanks Joey," Rachel said.
"I'll get you through this," he said. How, though? he wondered.
