As the weeks went by, neither of them thought too much of it. Monica and Chandler's wedding had thrown the couple into a flurry of a activity. Each had special duties as the best man and maid of honor.

Finally came the day of the rehearsal, and Rachel ran into to the bathroom of her apartment. Actually it was about the fourth time she got sick.

She picked up a calendar and mentally calculated she was late. At first, she threw it off as stress to the wedding. Then she couldn't keep anything down and dismissed it as the flu. Finally it dawned on her, she might be pregnant.

"Hey Rach, are you alright?" asked Joey.

"Yeah I think I just got some bad Chinese that's all." said Rachel as she bent over the toilet. She looked down at her stomach, it was still flat as a board. Could there be a baby in there? She had to find out.

Throwing some clothes on, she walked to the pharmacy and purchased her test. She would have to do it later, because she had one last fitting with her bridesmaid dress.

All during the day , the thought just seemed to take over her mind. She needed to talk to somebody, but she couldn't . if she was, it would be stealing Monica's thunder on her day. And she couldn't talk to Ross, because she didn't want to say anything until she was sure. And then just as she was certain she didn't want to run into him, he runs right into her.

"Hey I was just going to get my tux, I know you are probably busy but I could use the company." he said.

"Sure." Rachel said.

As they walked toward the subway, he noticed that she was looking a little bit pale.

"Are you feeling alright?"Ross asked.

"I'm fine, just a little tired between this wedding and work." she answered.

"Well it'll all be over tomorrow. I know weddings can be stressful times." he smiled.

"Well if anyone would know my dear, it would be you." Rachel giggled at her cheap shot.

"Seriously though, we have kind of been avoiding each other since that night. Are you going to be alright with all this tomorrow?" Ross said.

"They are our best friends and we should be happy for them. Despite our little indiscretion." Rachel said.

"You're right, we shouldn't do anything stupid." He looked into her eyes and a certain feeling came over him. Impulsively he leaned over and kissed her.

Rachel turned to him shocked, "What the hell was that for?" she yelled.

"I don't know if it is this wedding or that night , or what , but I have feeling that we have some things that we should talk about." he admitted.

"No, no , this is not the time. This is Monica and Chandler's day, not where did we fuck up day. We have nothing to analyze, we fell in love you cheated, you married someone and said my name at the altar and we had one night of drunken sex. End of story." Rachel ranted.

"There are no feelings."

At that point, Rachel became woozy and fell down. "Oh my God. I almost fainted."

"Maybe you need to eat something." Ross said concerned.

"It's not that, although I can't keep anything down." she said. "I'll be fine."

"Maybe you need to see a doctor." Ross said. "Or I could take you to the hospital."

"No I will be fine." she said as she walked over to a bench after they got off the subway.

"Just because we aren't together anymore, doesn't mean that I don't care about you. If you are sick , this needs to be taken care of." Ross said.

"Okay do you want to know why I am not feeling well?" Rachel said.

"Because I think I am pregnant." a huge weight was lifted off her mind but then she realized this wasn't the person she wanted to tell yet.

"Pregnant?" he said startled. "As in?"

"Yes, as in one night with you, pregnant." she said as she fell into his arms in tears.

"Have you taken a test yet?" he said .

"No I was going to do that, but with everything." she started to sob.

"Okay I see this is going to be on your mind. What we'll do is get a test and go to my place. That way no one will know." he said as he hugged her.

"But what if it's positive?"Rachel cried.

"First we'll take the test. Then we'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Ross said .

About an hour later, Rachel came out of Ross' bathroom . She held the test in her hand. He took it from her and noticed the two blue strips.

"It's positive." he said softly.
