Rachel's Story
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or places in the story. This is for entertainment only.
Author's Note: This is my first Friends fic, if you're just going to be mean and nasty with the reviews, I'd prefer you not to say anything. This is not in script format, it's more like a book. It takes place right after Chan and Mon's wedding and we know that Rach is actually the one that took the pregnancy test.
Rachel stood there trying to catch her breath. "Oh no," she thought. "Monica just told Chandler the test wasn't hers. Please don't let them find out it it was mine, not yet." Joey had Monica and Chandler turn towards the crowd and he announced, "May I have the pleasure of being the very first to present Mr. and Mrs. Chandler Bing." Tears sprang to Rachel's eyes. She wanted what they had more than anything. She recollected her thoughts as the wedding party filed out of the church.
Rach stayed pretty silent at the reception, she just sat in her chair at the bride and groom's table, and sipped her seltzer water. Monica noticed this, and pulled Chandler aside, and said, "Chandler, do you know what's going on with Rachel? She's acting kind funny. Really quiet, and she keeps throwing every guy in the room these weird death looks. She hasn't acted this way since she and Ross broke up."
Chandler replied, "Well, maybe she wants to get together with him tonight or something."
"No, I don't think that's it."
"Uh, ok. What do you think is wrong with her?"
"I'm not 100% positive, but I have a fairly good idea."
Monica had also noticed that everytime Rachel looked at Ross, her eyes softened, and she had a little glow about her.
Ross had noticed Rachel staring at him all night, and he was thrilled! He knew he wasn't supposed to say anything to anyone yet, but he hoped that soon enough Rachel would let him tell everyone that they were back together. Sure, it had only been a month or so since they started their secret rendez-vous, but he had never been more happy in his life. He put his hands in his pockets, and walked outside.
Ross knew for certain that tonight would be the night, but he had to be alone awhile to think first. He loved Rachel for sure, but did she feel the same way? He knew she did, but still. He had noticed that she had been acting a little awkward towards him for a couple days, but he figured it was so nobody got suspicious. Man, they had hid everything to the best of their power too. They only went out when nobody was around, or in the middle of the night, and they were always back in their right places before anybody woke up and noticed that they were gone. He wondered if maybe she was ashamed that they were back together, but he knew that wasn't it. He had completely forgotten that Monica would be royally angry if they got together right before her wedding day, because they were absolutely not allowed to steal her thunder! So Ross made up his mind, stood straight, and walked back into the reception hall.
He went straight for the microphone, but when he got there, Chandler grabbed it first. He announced, "It is now time for the bouquet and the garter tosses, so if all the single ladies would come forward, we'll see who is the next to be married!" He looked at Monica and they shared a smile. Chandler looked back into the forming crowd, and saw that Rachel and Phoebe had nosed their way through the crowd and were standing at the very front. "Uh-oh," he thought. "They'll end up killing each other for the stupid bouquet! Good thing Mon came prepared for this type of situation." And it was a good thing, Rachel caught the bouquet, but before it sunk in, Phoebe screamed, "Ok, that's it Missy! I want that! You were maid of honor, it's my turn now! (She acted like she was about to karate chop her) Hya-yah!!!!" Monica shrieked, "Pheebs, look!" And Mon tossed her another bouquet identical to Rachel's.
Rachel just stood there with the flowers in her hands, and let the symbolism sink in. She began to wonder if she and Ross would get married, and she sincerely hoped that they would. For the first time in her life, she knew she was in love, and she wasn't afraid of it. She was ready to scream it out to the world, but since it was Monica's wedding, she held it in.
Chandler was back on the microphone, and he said, "Ok, men! Now it's time for the garter toss! So all of ya'll single guys need to come up here now!" Joey was at the front of the crowd, silently praying that he would catch the garter. He didn't want to get married, he just wanted to say that he had a piece of Monica's underwear. Ross, on the other hand, didn't give it a second thought. He had just ordered two glasses of champagne, and was heading over to give one to Rachel, when Chandler shot the garter. It flew a lot farther than anyone could have imagined. So far, that it ended up landing in one of Ross's glasses. He looked up embarrassed, then he looked at Rachel and they shared a tender look. And that's all it took. He was dead-set on this.
He turned around, and up to where Chandler was. He forced the microphone away from him, and walked over to the dj. He asked the dj to put on "With or Without You," by U2, and when the song started playing, he looked out onto the staring crowd, and said, "Could a Rachel Green please make her way to the front?" Rachel was in shock, but she took a seat in the chair that was closest to Ross, that she could find. They exchanged a smile. Ross continued, "Ok, now first, I guess I have to congratulate Chandler and Monica, since I am the best man, and stuff. So you two, Godbless. But I'm up here now for a completely different reason. That's for the maid-of-honor. It's funny, I've been in love with Rach since the 9th grade, but I never thought that she would feel the same. We had actually gone out for a year, when I almost did this the first time, but, I screwed that time up. The second time I did this, we ended up getting married, drunkenly, and getting a divorce. I thought I would never get another chance, because when I divorced Rach, I divorced my one true love. But for the past few months, we've been secretly dating. About a month ago, we decided to officially be together. I know that may not seem like very long. But I've waited since the 9th grade. So, I guess what I really want to say is, Rachel Karen Green, would you do me the honor of being my wife?"
Rachel sat there stunned, but completely, deliriously thrilled! She just screamed out, "YES!! Yes, I will marry you!" The room burst out into applause and Ross extended his hand, and they walked out onto the dance floor together. Everybody came up to them and extended congratualations, that is, everyone except Monica. She was not happy, to say the least. She walked up to them, with a death look plainly written across her face, and said, "Ok, that's it! What the hell do you think you two are doing? This is my wedding day, and you've stolen my thunder AGAIN!!!!! This wouldn't be such a big deal if some bitch hadn't already stolen my thunder by leaving her pregnancy test in my bathroom! I mean, geez, that's probably the only reason Chandler went through with this. But, I'll get you two back, I swear it! Besides that, Congrats." She walked off, and back to Chandler.
Ross and Monica didn't notice it, but Rachel had completely paled at the mention of the pregnancy test. She looked at Ross, and with her voice barely above a whisper she said, "Ross, honey, can we go outside, I think we need to talk." He replied, "Sure honey." and He allowed her to lead him out the doors. When they got outside Rachel said, "Ross, there's something you might want to know." Ross grew concerned asked, "What honey?"
"I don't know how to tell you this exactly."
"Rach, what is it?"
"Well, for starters, I'm pregnant."
"Really? .... Really?!? Wow! I'm going to be a father again! Oh sweetie, this is fantastic news!"
"Ross, calm down for a second."
"Oh, Rach.... ok, what"
"I don't know if it's yours! (Ross's face fell) I know you're thinking I cheated on you, but that's not true. I love you, and I would never hurt you, but about a week before we made it official, we were still able to be with other people, and well, I had a fling with.... Oh my, I can't say it."
"Rach, it's ok, I understand. But who?"
"Actually, it was Joey. I had just had a bad day at work, and you were out with Ben, and I needed comfort, and he was there."
"Oh my gosh! You haven't told him huh?"
"No"
"Well, look, if the baby is his, and he doesn't want it, I'll adopt it! But it could be mine, sweetie, we'll cross that bridge when we get there."
"Oh, Ross, I love you, and I still want to get married, and have lots of our little kids running around!"
"Rach, we won't break up because of this, you did nothing wrong! I love you too!"
The pulled each other into a long, passionate embrace before returning back into the reception.
Joey came out around from the corner of the building. He said to himself, "I might be a father? Oh no! Or wait... is that good? Oh, shit, the woman's engaged, for cryin out loud. Oh, man! (screaming) Phoebe, where are you??? We need to talk!"
***That's all I'm writing for now, but there will be more added in a few weeks or so, so review please, but please don't be just plain mean and nasty... okay? Hope you liked it!***
