Sorry it took so long for the long update I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 4

It had been a week since Rachel moved in and she loved it. She had a job, good friends and a great roommate things were good.

Right now she was at her office in Bloomingdales doing some filing when her boss Joanne came over.

She taps her shoulder "Rachel" she says. Rachel turns to her and asks "Yes is there something wrong Joanne?"

She then gave Rachel a sympathetic look and Rachel already knew what it meant.

Later Ross was on the couch watching the discovery channel when Rachel bursts through the door. She aggressively takes off and hangs up her coat and sits down next to Ross.

Ross turns off the T.V. and turns to Rachel "Rough day at work."

Rachel lets out a breath "Oh you know the usual woke up, went to work, did my job then they fired me." She says anger building up.

Ross puts an arm around her and she starts to calm down "They had to make some cuts so I guess I got the short straw. They said it was for some stupid company shit I don't understand."

Ross starts to rub her shoulder to give her some comfort which seems to help and she leans her head on his shoulder. "Now I lost my only way to make money."

Ross looks at her "Don't you have savings." She shakes her head "I spent it all when I started my life."

Ross then says "You must've been an expensive baby." He says to lighten up the mood which seems to work since she starts to laugh a bit.

She then says "I mean when I started my adult life I had to rely on my daddy's credit cards until over a year ago. And I can't go back to him or anyone from my old life."

Ross is confused by this "How come?"

Rachel then responds "Well anytime someone tried to send me money or anything to get me to go back home. I replied with um." Rachel didn't wanna finish that sentence.

Ross then reassured her "Come on you can tell me I won't judge."

She took a deep breath "I told them each time that they are spoiled bitches who can't do anything for themselves and will be divorced in 5 years and to screw themselves."

Ross then starts to laugh but tries to disguise it as a cough which she notices.

Ross then says "Hey come on you'll get another job it's not like you don't have experience."

Rachel looks at him with sad eyes. "Ross I barely worked there for a week and they fired me. And just when I thought I figured things out." Throws her head against the couch.

The door suddenly knocks and Rachel looks at it. "Who's that?"

Ross goes up to the door and says "Carol" before opening the door.

"Hello Ross how are you?" She says holding on to a stroller with a baby in it.

Ross nods "Good so I'll see you when you come and pick him up."

Carol nods and they say their goodbyes and she leaves.

Rachel gets up and looks at the stroller and sees an adorable baby boy. "Aw he's so cute is that Ben."

Ross picks up Ben and holds him "Yup say Hi Ben." He holds him up to her face and says in a high pitched voice "Hi Rachel nice to meet you."

Rachel laughs at this "So uh how long is he gonna be here?"

Ross says "Only on the weekends he'll stay in my room so you won't have to worry."

Rachel then nods her head and Ross leaves to put Ben in a crib in his room. When he comes back he sees Rachel on the couch again looking through the newspaper.

Ross sits down next to her "Whatcha looking at?"

Rachel huffs "A job at least a temporary one until I get a decent one. Man there is nothing I can do in here." Throws the newspaper on the table.

Ross puts an arm around Rachel again "Relax Rach."

Rachel responds "Well how am I gonna pay for my share of the rent or groceries and stuff. You'll end up kicking me out." She says as she moves and turns away from him.

Ross grabs her by the shoulders to turn her to face him. "Rachel I won't kick you out okay besides you can always just find another place to at. What's the worst that will happen."

Rachel then says "We'll I can't get money, won't be able to pay bills off or any credit cards if I still owe any, and worst of all it will prove my dad was right that I can't make it on my own and that I should've married Barry."

Ross raises an eyebrow "Barry?"

"My ex fiancé we were supposed to get married but I snuck out of the bathroom window the day of. And ever since then I wanted to prove I can make it on my own and now I can't. Here I am trying to figure out my life while Barry and my ex best friend Mindy are planning the wedding I walked out on or climbed out." Says Rachel sadness building up after each word and she starts to sniffle.

Ross then pulls her into hugs which she greatly enjoys.

When Ross pulls away "Hey I have an idea why don't you come to the park with me and Ben take your mind off things."

Rachel shakes her head "I don't know Ross I've never been good with kids."

Ross says "Come on please." He looks at her and she see's brown puppy dog eyes and she has to admit he looks adorable.

"Okay fine" She says giving in. "Just give me a few minutes to change."

A Little Later

Ross had everything they needed for a day out in the park. Food, drinks and Ben who was in his stroller.

Ross was about to go check on Rachel when she appeared wearing a white T-shirt and a leather jacket and skinny jeans that showed off her legs.(Sorry but I'm bad with fashion) And he had to admit she looked gorgeous.

"Ready?" She says snapping him out of his trance. He shakes his head "Yeah let's go."

And with that they leave.

At the park

Ross and Rachel are sitting on a picnic blanket eating some of the food Ross brought and Rachel had to admit she loved this.

Ross put Ben in between his legs and he just smiled even though he couldn't do much with a baby only a few months old it was still nice.

Ross then grabs a grape from the basket "I'm gonna toss it try to catch it in your mouth."

Rachel nods and opens her mouth. Ross carefully aims and then he throws it and she catches it.

She squeals in delight "Wow I got it I never did that before."

He laughs "Do you always get this excited about anything."

She laughs and lightly shoved him. Rachel then looks at Ben who is looking at her with his hands up.

Ross notices this and begins to hand Ben to Rachel who starts to freak out. "Uh Ross what are you doing?"

Ross smiles "Don't worry he just wants you to hold him. You can do it Rach."

He hands Ben to Rachel and she holds him nervously but when she sees his face she calms down. "Aw he's even cuter than before."

Ross nods "Yeah he has that power over ya."

Just then a lady passes by and looks at the scene "Aw what a lovely family" she says. Before Ross or Rachel can correct her she had already left. Ross and Rachel then look at each other and realize that they do look like a family.

A little later Rachel is folding the blanket that they were sitting on while Ross was securing Ben in the stroller.

Rachel then goes over to Ross and taps his shoulder "Hey Ross."

"Yeah." He says as he turns around.

She takes a deep breath "Thank you honestly for this it really helped me calm down."

Ross nods "No problem Rach and don't worry about finding a job right away I understand your position so take your time."

Rachel then wrapped her arms around Ross's neck who was bit taken back by this but Wrapped his arms around Rachel and sunk it in.

A little in the distance three women who were carrying shopping bags and wearing expensive clothes turned to the direction of them.

One of them says "Is that Rachel Green?"

Ross and Rachel pull away.

The other one looks to "It is what is she on a date with some loser."

Then they see them push the stroller and the last

one says "Oh my gosh no way."

Ross then suddenly remembers something and goes back and Grabs Rachel's sweater and she hugs him again.

But before letting go one of the Women snaps a picture of them on her phone and posts it. As they leave.
