Hey guys, here's chapter 2! Thank you for the review! As promised, much longer than the first one :)

Rachel was twelve weeks and they still hadn't told their parents. She knew she had to soon because she would start showing. Ross and Rachel had agreed to tell their parents on the same day and around the same time because they knew their parents would be calling each other once they told them.

It was time for Rachel's first ultrasound. The doctor started it, and began pointing out the features that were developing. They both stared at the screen in awe of the life they had created.

"That's incredible." Ross said as he looked down at Rachel.

Rachel smiled, "it really is."

"I love you. And I love our baby." Ross said as he kissed her head

"I love you and our baby too."

The doctor finished up the appointment and told them they could go.


~A couple days later while on a date~

They were at Rachel's favorite restaurant. It was their one-year anniversary.

"Rachel, I love you. I've loved you since I was in ninth grade. I couldn't imagine my life without you. This past year has been the greatest year of my life. I know we're young and I know it's a little crazy, but I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Ross got down on one knee and pulled out one of the most beautiful rings Rachel had ever seen. "Rachel Karen Green, will you marry me?"

She grinned, "Yes I'll marry you!"

Ross gently put the ring on her finger and then hugged and kissed her.


~Later that night~

Ross went into Monica's room after just getting back from the date. "So guess what!" Ross said with a huge smile on his face.

"I already know. Rachel told me. Congratulations! You guys are so perfect together." Monica said as she hugged her brother.

Ross grinned, "I know!" he said in her tone.

"Have you told mom and dad?" Monica asked.

"No and they don't know about the baby either. We're going to tell them tomorrow. Please don't say anything."

"I won't. You can trust me. I've kept you guys' secret so far haven't I?"

"Yeah. Thank you for that."

"No problem."


"Mom, dad… Rachel's pregnant." Ross blurted out. He anxiously looked at his parents waiting for their reaction as they sat at the kitchen table.

"Are-are you sure?" Judy asked.

"Yeah. We saw the baby on the ultrasound. She's twelve weeks."

"But what about college? Your plans for the future? You can't do that with a family." Jack said.

"Well… I proposed and she said yes. I have a lot in savings and I got a full scholarship. I can go to school and we can live in an apartment near campus. Rach's parents will probably help a lot too. I think we can do this, but we need your support."

"Well of course you have our support. We're always here for both of you. We're happy you did the right thing by proposing and staying with her." Jack told him as Judy nodded in agreement.

Ross was glad his parents took it so well. He wasn't sure how he'd be able to do this. He had planned on having a family with Rachel someday, he just didn't expect it to be so soon. He was supposed to be in his late twenties or early thirties with a college degree and a stable career, not seventeen and a senior in high school with a part-time job.


"What do you mean you're pregnant?! You're sixteen! You can't be! You're too young." Rachel's father said.

"I know I'm too young…" she replied quietly.

"And what's this? Are you engaged?" he asked looking at her ring.

"Yes. I love him and our baby. We're keeping the baby."

"Well at least he did something right. I'm going to kill Ross for doing this to you. And… you can't have this baby. This is just unacceptable. What did your mother say? Does she know?"

"I told her. She says she'll support me in whatever Ross and I want. You can't make me do what I don't want with MY child. You also can't kick me out for not doing what you want. It's illegal. And mom said she wouldn't let you. We have a plan. I'm going to graduate early so we can graduate at the same time and move to the city so Ross can still go to NYU. He has a full scholarship."

He put his head in his hands.

"daddy I'm really sorry. Please talk to me."

"I have to go do something." He said as he walked out of the house.

Rachel sat back on the couch and began to cry. She wasn't expecting him to take it this badly. Or rather, she was, but she was hoping her expectations would be wrong.
