"How can you talk about honesty when all you have done is lie and keep secrets from me?" Mona said with a deadly tone. She picked up the small , unwrapped red package and threw it at Ross's head. Luckily, he ducked. Storming away, she gathered up the pans she had prepared for this romanic dinner. Tearing at the red napkin rings, she threw them into the wicker basket. She then tossed in the wrinkled napkins. Lastly, she grabbed the unopened bottle of champagne. Ross sat and watched as Mona grabbed their Valentines supper. He knew this was coming.
"When did you plan on telling me about Rachel living here? When I got the invitation to your wedding." Mona said with accusing tones. "And your ex girlfriend too." she shuddered. Ross got up and began to walk toward her. He had to give it one more chance. "I told you before, Rachel is just a friend. She means nothing to me. " he said putting his hands on Mona's shoulders. Mona tore herself away from him. "That you had sex with and got pregnant!" she screamed as she gathered her coat and purse. After that, she headed for the door."I want you to crawl up your own ass and die!" she bellowed as she slammed the door on the way out. Ross stared at the closed door.
Rachel turned up the sound earlier to block out the noise and the screaming. She had been sitting contently with the Chinese on her lap and watching a movie on TV. Earlier she had been given by Phoebe a tape of her friend, Cookie giving birth to her own daughter, Cookie. The tape sat on her nightstand, she was in no hurry to watch it. This whole baby experience was scary enough. She wondered if maybe she shouldnt have come out. She knew once again , she was the cause of another relationship ending. Rachel heard Mona screaming as Ross tried to come to her defense. She also heard glass shattering and knew Mona was throwing things at him. She tried to engross herself in the movie.
Ross stood with a blank face and stared at the closed door. Two champagne glasses managed to survive the fallout. He walked over to the couch, blew through his lips and plopped down. Brushing his hands through his dark hair, he shook his head. Another woman had managed to go. Mona was the latest in a long line of women to have either left or he dumped. Something was always wrong, he wasnt in the same place, the woman wasnt ready to move ahead, then there was the complications of his relationship with his friend and ex girlfriend. Somehow Rachel was always behind everyone of his relationships in one way or another. But tonight, on this Valentine Day, he couldnt place the blame on her. This was all his fault. He had the saddest look in his hazel eyes. He would die alone. Now he knew. The only thing that would remain of him was his body and the three divorce decrees buried under a tombstone with the legend "ROSS GELLER, THREE DIVORCES." Ross moaned at that thought.
Rachel wanted to go out to the living room. She turned down the sound for a minute and heard the silence. The war was over apparently, either Ross was alone or she would see him and Mona celebrating Valentines Day by having make up sex. Her baby was pushing on her bladder and also she was hungry for some ice cream in the freezer. She threw the ancient afghan off her body, and jumped down from the bed. She quietly opened the door , so she wouldn t disturb them. Ross heard the door and got up.
"I am sorry about that." he apologized in his usual way. Rachel smiled at him. "I was only going to the bathroom and getting a snack." She looked around to see where Mona had gone. "It's over." he moaned. "She dumped me." Rachel immediately went to her friend and gave him a complacency hug. "I bet you guys will make up." Rachel coached in the hope of her best friend being happy. "Nope.' he said with certainty. Rachel felt a small tug of guilt and then she made a beeline to the bathroom.
"She said that she couldnt believe that we werent together." he said to the closed door. The words cut him to the core. He heard himself say them. Then he thought about them. He had been so damn selfish. Here it was Valentines Day and Rachel had been alone. She was in his bathroom and carrying his baby. He had carried on about how special this day was to him and Mona and it just dawned on him that Rachel had no one. He looked down at his watch. It was still early and he could make this a special day for the mother of his child.
"Rach! I have somewhere to go! I'll be back!" Ross said as he grabbed his coat. He was going to make this day special for her.
