1 The One With The Birth

By Jason Chess

Rachel sits up in her bed. She starts shaking Ross frantically. He finally wakes up. She says that her water just broke. Ross gets up and gets the bags. Rachel grabs her coat and they are out the door.

Monica walks out of her room going to the extra bedroom to do the morning cleaning. She starts humming the tune to " Mr. Sandman". She stops abruptly and runs to the phone. Ross tells her about Rachel. She hangs up and runs to her room to get Chandler. She quickly goes and gets Joey. They all go down the stairs to catch a cab. They wave down a cab to find out it is Pheobe. They get to the hospital and go to the room.

Rachel is in labor. The head…the stomach…the feet, the baby is out. The doctor pulls Ross to the side.

" Ross, she is not going to make it."

" My baby girl?"

" No, she is great, Rachel is bleeding internally, the baby kicked her to hard. There is nothing we can do."

" Of course there is, can't you stop it."

Ross looks over at Rachel; he walks over to her and says,

" I love you."

" I love you … t"

She falls into a deep sleep and leaves Ross there by himself.

Ross walks out to the hall very slowly. He tells them the baby is as cute as can be. Then comes the news. He tells them Rachel has died. They all turn pale.
