Hey guys, thanks for the reviews!! I really enjoy reading them, very much.
This chapter is a bit short than the pervious few, but I promise you it's a build up for the next one.
"Thanks Mon" Ross said as he got off the phone with his sister. It had now been hours since he saw Rachel at Starbucks.
He had spoken to his sister about the situation, who of course hadn't told him that Rachel was pregnant but warned him to be very nice to her as 'Rachel has a lot going on in her life right now'. Ross wondered what this was about and had calmed down a bit from the scene earlier. Maybe Rachel deserved a chance to explain herself. This would be so much easier had she not kept his daughter from him. He was however pleased that little Emma would be back in his life again, and even Rachel.
He thought back to the last time he saw Rachel before she left. She was beautiful, that had not changed…but there was something different about her, he just couldn't put his finger on it. Anyway, so much had happened in the months since he had seen her last.
He was devastated when she wouldn't stay, but then months later Bonnie came along. He and Bonnie were having a great time together. She made him smile again. He felt that maybe, just maybe he could move on from Rachel…not that he wanted to, but in the situation he was faced with, he felt that he had to or else he would remain alone forever.
As much as he would always love Rachel, he was determined to not break up with Bonnie just because his previous love was back in town. He had always done this…and it never worked out, so what made him think it would time and time again. Maybe it was time for a change.
As he was getting ready to run over to Rachel's there was a knock at his door. Confused at who would be visiting him, he opened it and found Bonnie standing there.
A smile grew on his face as he leaned over to give her a kiss, welcoming her into his apartment.
"Hey baby" she said smiling before taking a seat on his couch "Where are you off to?" She questioned as he had his winter jacket on, obviously ready to leave the apartment.
"Oh, I planned on going to talk things out with Rachel" He answered before taking a seat in the chair next to the couch "But I have a few minutes, and you're welcome to wait here for me to come back"
Bonnie looked down, the smile erased from her face "Ross, you're not actually going over there to talk to her are you?"
" Well…yeah, she is the mother of my child" Ross said with a hesitant laugh.
"…And youre exgirlfriend…and your exwife-" Bonnie said aggravation in her voice.
"We were drunk" Ross cut her off correcting her as if it made it sound any better .
"It doesn't matter…don't you see Ross?" Bonnie raised her voice. "I mean I don't see why you just cant get a lawyer to draw out your legal matters with her"
Ross looked at her confused "I don't want to fight with Rachel…I mean, we're friends" The last thing Ross wanted was even more complicated ties to his daughter, if he was fighting with Rachel, that would only make matters worse.
"But you're not friends!" Bonnie exclaimed "God Ross, why cant you see this…don't you know whats going to happen here?" Ross just looked at her confused, still. " Rachel shows up into the picture and every single time you go back to her"
Ross got up and took a seat next to Bonnie he grabbed her hand, and with his free hand moved it up to her cheek, he leaned and kissed her deeply, as they broke away her looked at her sincerely and asked "Do you still believe I'm going back to her?"
Bonnie looked at him hopelessly and replied softly "Yes" This was quite possibly the most honest thing she had ever said.
Ross looked down and shook his head, Bonnie continued "Yes I do Ross. " She paued "I have to do something for myself now, and walk away. I wont be a victim a Rachel yet again." Bonnie got up, pulling her hand away from him "Its over Ross"
And with that she was gone. Walking out of his life, without looking back.
It was like a curse.
Meanwhile, back in Rachels apartment she had just put Emma down to bed. It was funny, she never envisioned herself having children, but here she was with one she was in love with, and another on the way.Dressed in a tanktop and pajama pants, Rachel looked around the apartment for something to pull her hair up with so she could go to bed.
She heard the door open behind her, followed by a voice.
"Bonnie Broke up with me because you're back in town" Ross yelled angered by the latest situation caused by Rachel Green in his life. He never seemed to catch a break.
Rachel just stood there with her back to him. "I'm sorry-"
"You know, you leave…and I finally move on. I'm finally happy, and then I don't even have to do anything…you come back, and just because of you the girl breaks up with me." Ross continued.
"Ross, Im sorry I---" Rachel still facing in the opposite direction apologized to him, this time her voice a little bit louder. Rachel could strangle him in this very moment, for how selfish he was being.
He reminded her of herself these past six months.
Ross cut her off, "You're sorry? You're Sorry?" He was infuriated. Things like this were always happening to him.
"Goddammit Ross" Rachel yelled, she then turned around revealing her bump.
Reviews always welcome
