Chapter 1: You're Still The One
Rachel was sitting on the sofa with a very pregnant Monica. They were watching Titanic. "So did some drunk guy at Ross and Emily's wedding really think Chandler was Leonardo Dicaptrio" Rachel chuckled as she watched Leo's character Jack scream I'm king of the world. Monica nodded "He also thought I was Ross's mother" she whined. "But that's okay because Chandler cheered me up" she added with a grin.
Chandler walked out of the bedroom dressed for work. "When did I cheer you up" he asked. "Oh that night in London when that guy thought I was Ross's mother" Monica grinned. Chandler smiled "Mmm that was some night wasn't it" he giggled. "Well I better get going before I'm late for work" he said "Aww do you have to" Monica whined. "Stay here and we can spend the whole day together in bed" she grinned. "As tempting as that sounds I can't Mon I have a meeting today" he said. She pouted "Okay but I'll miss you" she said. "I'll miss you too, both of you" he said rubbing her belly. She got up and followed him to the door where they spent the next few minutes kissing each other goodbye.
Rachel smiled as she watched them. She remembered how she and Ross would always kiss goodbye. Neither one of them wanting the kiss to end. Lately she found herself missing Ross. She hated seeing him with Charlie. They'd gotten together after Barbados but it had only lasted a month. Things with Joey never happened. After the kiss they shared they realized there were no true feelings between them so they decided to remain bestfriends.
She'd had her share of boyfriends but there was always something like Barry he was so boring, Joshua had scared easily, Mark and Gavin she'd only shared one kiss with each of them, Tommy was weird, Danny he was weird too bathing with his sister. Rachel shuttered at that thought. Paul she asked him about his feelings and turned him into a cry baby, Russ he was a Ross look alike and when she finally realized it, it grossed her out, "Yuck" she whispered thinking about Russ. Josh he was a thief and pretty young, Tag he was cute and had a great butt, but he too was a bit young.
There was only one guy she ever went out with that she could say she honestly loved. Ross was prefect. He's smart, funny, warm and sexy. When she was with him she felt like a princess. She missed him. She missed his gentle touch, his soft kiss, he warm brown eyes. "Oh my God" she said softly realizing her feelings for Ross were still there and still strong as ever. "What" Monica asked as she finally came back and sat down. She turned and looked at her bestfriend. "I...I'm still in love with Ross" she said.
Monica smiled "Oh my God that's so great" she giggled. "I knew you still loved my brother" she said. "So when are you gonna tell him, how are you gonna tell him" she asked. Rachel sighed. "I'm not gonna tell him Mon" she whispered. "What, but you have to Rach I know my brother still loves you" Monica stated. "Plus he's Emma's father you need to tell him" she said. "I know I should and I will just not yet" Rachel whispered. "and you better not either" she added. "Hey you're the queen of gossip not me" Monica chuckled. Both women laughed.
A few days later Rachel was sitting in Central Perk with Monica, Phoebe, Joey, and Chandler. Rachel looked at Monica. "Mon today's the day" she smiled. "The day for what" Monica asked. "Today is the day I tell Ross I still love him" she grinned "As soon as I see him I'll tell him" Phoebe smiled. "See he's your lobster" she giggled. "You and Ross getting back together this is so great!" Monica said excitedly.
Ross walked in but he wasn't alone. With him was a pretty girl with light brown hair. "Hey guys" he said with a smile. "This is Samantha she's a professor NYU too and we're going out tonight" he said with a grin. "Call me Sam" she said with a smile. Rachel frowned she felt the tears filling her eyes she had to get out of there. "Uh it was nice meeting you Sam I ...I have to go" she said running out of the coffee house.
A few hours later Monica and Chandler came into their apartment. Rachel was sprawled out on the couch crying. "Rach" Chandler whispered. She sat up and looked at her two bestfriends. Monica looked pale as a ghost, had the look of fear and sadness in her eyes and a few spots of something was splattered on her blouse. "Oh my God Mon, Chandler what...what happened" she asked. "Ross" Monica whispered. "Ross" Rachel repeated. "Screw him and his stupid girlfriend Sam" she hissed. "No Rach he...he" Monica broke down in sobs. Chandler wrapped his arms around her and she buried her head in his chest.
Chandler looked at Rachel he too looked scared and worried. "Rach after you left Central Perk it...it was robbed" he whispered. "What" Rachel screamed. "Mon she...she was at the counter getting a scone the...the thief was gonna...gonna shoot her" he said his eyes brimming with tears. "Oh my God" she cried. "Ross he...he was up there with her, he... he took the bullet meant for Mon" he whispered. "He...he saved her, our baby" he said starting to cry. Rachel's eyes filled with tears "Is...is he" she broke down unable to ask of Ross's fate. She too ended up crying in Chandler's arms.
After what seemed like forever she pulled away. "Chandler" she whispered. "Where's Ross is he okay" she asked. "The EMT's took him to Beth Israel, Pheebs and Joey went with him" he said softly. "It...it didn't look good Rach there...there was alot of blood" he whispered. Rachel's tears returned. "We have to...to tell his parents, Carol" she rambled. "We'll call Judy and Jack from the hospital Carol too" he whispered.
Rachel nodded. She was barely aware of Chandler's arm around her guiding her out of the apartment. All she could think about was Ross. She couldn't lose him. Not now not when she still had to tell him how much she loved him. Emma and Ben were so young Ben was 8 and Emma just a little over one they both needed their daddy. Monica, poor Monica had witnessed her brother's shooting first hand he'd been shot protecting her and her unborn baby. If Ross didn't make it Monica would have to live with the guilt and the awful image of the moment that took her only brother's life.
Phoebe she'd already lost her mom, her dad walked out on her when she was a baby, her grandma died a few years back, and her sister she never spoke to. To Phoebe her five bestfriends were her only family. It would devastate her to lose Ross. Chandler he and Ross had been bestfriends since college and now they were brothers in law ,and Joey he and Ross were bestfriends too. Rachel said a silent prayer as she headed to the hospital with her two. "Please God please don't let Ross die he's loved by so many people his children, his parents, his sister, his friends, and me" she whispered.
