Author's Note: Hey guys! Today I bring you a brand new story that I just thought of. You remember how Rachel tried to kiss Ross in TOW Joey Speaks French? I really liked that scene, up until Rachel messed things up... Anyway, here's what I think should have happened…
P.S. I will write more chapters if this goes well.

Rachel was combing her hair when Ross walked in.
"Hi!" She greeted him with a smile.
"I was gonna make us some dinner but all I found in your dad's fridge was bacon and heavy cream." He paused. "I think we solved the mystery of the heart attack." Ross told her as he walked in.
"Did you call your parents?" Rachel asked him.
"Oh, yeah. Emma's doing great." He answered.
"Oh good." She replied, relieved.
"Wow." Ross said as he looked around her room.
"What?" She asked him.
"Just can't believe I'm in Rachel Green's room." Ross said, smiling.
"What do you mean? You've been in my room before!" She responded.
"Yeah, sure, right! Like I've ever been in Rachel Green's room." He said, laughing.
"Ok I gotta tell ya, it's really weird when you use my whole name." Rachel said with a smile.
"Sorry." Ross said as she sat down on her bed. "You ok?" He asked her.
"Yeah." She answered.
"You had a rough day, uh?" Ross said.
"Yeah, just so weird seeing him like that, you know? I mean he is a doctor, you don't expect doctors to get sick!"
"But we do!" He paused. "It's gonna be ok, Rach!" Ross said as he sympathetically put his arm around her.
"Ooh. I don't want him to wake up alone! I should go to the hospital!" She said, getting up.
"What? No, no! Hey, hey, hey look..." Ross said as he got up and put his hand on her shoulder.
"What?" She asked as she looked at him.
"They gave him a lot of medication, ok? He wouldn't even know if you were there. Look, we'll go see him first thing in the morning, ok?" Ross told her.
"Really, I shouldn't feel guilty?" She asked, worried.
"No, God! Hey, Rach, you've been an amazing daughter, ok? Right now you just need to get some rest." He said, gesturing towards her bed.
"Ok, maybe you're right." She said, smiling at him.
"Good night." Ross said, kissing her forehead.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait. Would you stay here with me for a little while?" Rachel asked him as he walked towards the door.
"Sure!" Ross said, walking back over to her.
They sat down on her bed. "Thank you for coming with me today." Rachel said, smiling at him.
"Oh, of course..." Ross said.
"Rachel Green is very happy you're in her room!" Rachel said, smiling.
"Me too. Come here." Ross said and hugged her.
"I just don't want to be alone tonight." She said sadly.
"Well, I'll just grab a sleeping bag…" Ross began.
"No. You don't have to do that. She looked back at her bed. "You can sleep with me."
Ross gave her a look and Rachel said "Look Ross, this has been a really hard day for me and I would just feel better if you could lay here with me. I'm not suggesting we do anything." She said with a smile and they both laughed.
"Well, ok then." Ross said as they both got under the covers. Rachel snuggled up close to him and Ross put his arm around her. They talked for a few minutes, but she was very tired from the day's events, so she quickly drifted off to sleep. Ross gently kissed her forehead and watched her sleep for a few minutes. He fell asleep thinking about her.
When Ross woke up the next morning, Rachel was still sleeping. He got up quietly and got dressed. He went downstairs and grabbed the keys to Monica's Porsche and drove to get breakfast.
When he got back, Rachel was coming down the stairs. "Hi." He said. He held up the bag in his hand. "I brought bagels."
"Thanks." She said with a smile as she took the bag from his hand.
The phone rang. Rachel picked it up and talked for a minute. When she hung up, she said "That was the hospital, they are discharging my father today." She said with a sigh of relief.
Ross hugged her and said "That's great news." He noticed a sad look on her face.
"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked, concerned.
"I just can't stop thinking about what could have happened. What if he had died?" Rachel said sadly.
"But he didn't Rach. You shouldn't worry about what could have happened. Your father is fine."
He wiped the tears from her eyes and she said "Thanks again… For everything." Rachel said, smiling at him.
Ross smiled back at her and hugged her again. She went into the kitchen, leaving him in the foyer with his thoughts. He sighed as the all to familiar feeling came back to him. He realized that he was still in love with Rachel.
Sorry it was so short, but I think it said everything that needed to be said. Let me know if you want to see more of this! Please don't forget to leave a review! I love hearing feedback.
