"Oh, Hun, can you grab me my other box of tissues? They're right on that chair under Ross' coat." Rachel told Joey with tears of sadness filling her eyes.
She wasn't scared that she would have to raise Emma on her own she was worried that Ross wouldn't want to be connected to their daughter. They weren't a normal family" was all that Rachel could think about. Most families were married or going to get married, or at least dating. They were none of that. That was in their past.
"Sure," Joey responded and reached over to the chair behind him. Joey lifts Ross' coat as a box that looked as though it contained an engagement ring fell to the floor. He grabbed it quickly from the tile floor concerned that Rachel may have seen it but more confused as to why there had even been a ring in Ross' coat pocket.
"Joey?" Rachel asked still waiting for her tissues.
"Oh right," he reminded himself, Joey quickly hid the ring back in Ross' coat and handed Rachel her tissues.
"Thanks Joe." She said and dabbed the last of the tears from her eyes.
"Well I'm gonna go see where everyone else is," Joey said as he got up and left, he needed to talk to Ross, Now!
Rachel felt a chill roll down her spine followed by a shiver of coldness. She looked around the room and realized that she had not brought a coat. She was very sore but she decided it was worth it to get up to get Ross' coat. She was sure he wouldn't mind. Rachel slid it on and lay back down on the bed. She had not slept in so long and had so much on her mind. Rachel got under the covers and rolled to her side. She felt something hard push into her hip. She reached into the pocket of the Jacket and saw the case; she opened it and saw the ring. She gasped, not knowing what to say, was it hers? Why did Ross have a Ring? So she just put it on the night table next to her and drifted off to sleep.
Ross walked up the hallway leading to the room with a bouquet of flowers in his hand and a smile on his face. Slowly he opened the door to Rachel's room and saw her resting. Quietly he placed the flowers on the other side of her bed and noticed that she was wearing his coat. It didn't bother him at all, he thought it was sweet, she was so beautiful, he couldn't wait to talk to her about "them" Phoebe was right he had loved her since 9th grade, maybe this time it would be right. Then Ross remembered the ring that his mom had given him.
"Oh No!" Ross thought, so scared, he remembered he had put it in his left pocket. No, Rachel was lying on her left side she would have felt the box when she turned that way. Ross looked past her and saw the box on her nightstand. He was speechless; he put the flowers in their vase neatly and left the room.
