A/N. Hi, everyone.
No reviews? No matter.
Anyway, here's my first oneshot, an AU take on TOW No One Proposes.
Ben sat, or slept, rather on the hard chair. It'd had been some time since his grandmother had dropped him off to be with his father. Aunt Rachel was having her baby, that much he knew. He remembered Grandma Judy telling his dad something about a ring she'd given him. Where had it gotten to?
Curious, he began looking. If it had gone missing, his dad would obviously want it back.
He searched on the floor of the building he was on.
After what seemed like hours, but, was more like minutes, he soon found it. Somehow, his uncle Joey had found it, leading to him trying to propose to Rachel, from what he'd heard.
He couldn't help but grin. From what his dad had told him, that was his uncle Joey, getting himself into one kind of mess or another. He had to put this one right now.
He managed to find the room Rachel was in, and entered with the ring, his father Ross not far beind some time later.
"Ben?", Rachel asked.
"My dad lost this, it's a long story.", He said, passing her the ring, which Ross noticed.
"Thanks, I've been looking everywhere for that."
"If I see Uncle Joey, I'll tell him he's in trouble."
"I'll handle it.", Ross assured him.
Rachel, seemed to have an idea of what was going on.
"W-Were you going to propose?", She managed, tears coming.
"I was, at the right time."
A smile spread across her face.
"Ross, that's so sweet, but, I don't think there is a right time, not yet."
"I know, but, you've had my baby, I wanna help you take care of her."
"Of course you can.", She grinned.
"Count me in, too.", Ben told them, surprising them both.
"Ben, you don't have to do that.", Ross told him.
"I know, but I wanna help. She's my half-sister."
Rachel hugged the 7 year old, trying not to cry.
Ross also smiled, hoping things would work out right.
Joey soon entered, with Rachel apologizing for the mix up about the ring.
"Oh."
"Joey, I'm so sorry."
"It's okay, everything was kinda confusing."
He was right, it had been for some time.
Rachel hugged her friend.
"You're bound to find someone some day.", She told him.
"Thanks."
Later, the nurse entered, Emma in her arms. After breast feeding her, Ben wanted to try to hold her, with Rachel and Ross showing him how. On doing so, she relaxed, reaching for his finger with her small hand.
"Wow, she's beautiful and small."
"Yup."
He gently kissed his half sister's forehead.
"Hey, kiddo. I'm your big brother.", He cooed at her, grinning like an idiot.
Soon, Emma and Rachel were released, with Ben helping with her bags as best he could.
Carol and Susan soon came to pick him up, and were both impressed with how he'd handled it all.
He somehow knew that things would work out for his father and Rachel in the end, and he'd be tehre every step of the way.
A/N: Reviews and ideas for oneshots if you please. Granted, I won't be using all the eps from seasons 9 and 10, and all the characters, though some may be mentioned
