A/N: I ended the last chapter with out even thinking about how to begin the next I've tried to put a lot of thought in it. Hopefully it'll turn out like I wanted it to. Thanks for all the reviews. Hope you enjoy this chapter. Sorry For the long delay. and lately I've been working a lot on another fan fiction that is stuck in my head.

Disclaimer: I kept thinking all through the day how I wanted to own them but sadly I don't. If you have any one of the six I'm willing to trade you... but I know you'll never give me that opportunity.

Rachel's Reaction

Silence filled the room and I felt as if I should have just left and came back at another time.

"You're what?" Rachel finally asked.

I felt a tear form in my left eye. Don't make me say it again. I thought to myself. "I'm in love with you." I repeated. She just sat there I didn't know what to do. "Rach, if you don't..."

"When did this start?" She asked me. "I mean how?"

"The other night after taking you out to dinner." I told her. She just looked at me. "I think it had something to do with the fact that we went out the other night and found out some things that most people wouldn't know. For once I wasn't worried about whether she likes me or not. I knew who I was with and it made me comfortable. I had a lot of fun just getting to spend time with you. Rach.." I paused in the middle of what I was saying, taking a deep breath. I felt my legs shaking. "I never expected this feeling."

I couldn't tell what was going on she was still staring out of space like I wasn't even there. "I wanted to tell you." I said breaking the short silence. It was hard to tell what she was thinking but somehow I had this strong feeling that I was going to get this chance. It was worth a shot though.

"Obviously this was a mistake..." I said after trying to leave the living room.

"I just don't know what to think, Joey." Rachel said as I started heading towards my bedroom.

I paused listening to what she was trying to say. "You don't have to feel the same way, Rach. It was something that was happening with me and I thought you would like to know before things start to go wrong."

"What?" Rachel didn't seem to understand that I never told Ross. Maybe some how she knew that Monica and Chandler found out about this. Maybe she did feel the same way and doesn't want to tell me. Or try to hide it from Ross. What if Ross isn't fine with this?

The Questions just seemed to go through my head as I tried thinking of a reply.

"What do you mean before things start to go wrong?" She asked me.

I knew I had to come up with some kind of answer and the best thing to do was to throw Ross into it. "Ross doesn't know I feel like this." I explained. "If he found out he'd lose it like he did when you told him you were pregnant."

Rachel smiled "so I guess I'd have to break the news to him."

Suddenly I felt like my life was turning around, and in a good way the one person I only saw as a friend but also fell in love with and was scared to explain this feeling, had decided to give me a chance. "Well I'd be there with you when you told him"

"Ok Joey think about it. I'm pregnant with his child and his best friend is in love with me. Not a pretty picture."

"So what do we do?" I asked her.

For the first time that morning I felt confident. I didn't feel scared to say anything.

"Well if he's not going to be an ass like he usually is in situations like these and finally realizes that it's not going to work between me and him I guess we'd be ok to try this out" Rachel told me. "But if he's not ok with this then we can't do this. I couldn't hurt him like this"

Well if he's not ok with it then we'll just keep it a secret, I thought.

"I know." That was the only thing I could say to her.

(A/N: this is where I'm going to change the POV because of the next few chapters coming up)

Rachel had thought a lot of how to say this to Ross. Yes she loved Joey but somehow she knew that Ross wasn't going to deal with this well. Ross had always loved her and she knew that and with him knowing that she was with someone else, it would kill him.

"I'll tell him" Rachel said as Joey walked over to her.

Rachel stood up. Joey hugged her

Rachel was happy.

She held back the tears as she felt a pang of regret.

A/N: Ok so it didn't end the way I wanted it to but it was all I can think of. So do you think Ross will be jealous or will he be ok with it..? If anyone has any Ideas please give them I just might add them to the story

Once again as always Please Review... Even if you don't I'll still post up the next chapter.
