A/N: New chapter, new chapter! Incase you haven't noticed, I've started naming my chapters (which I'm not the best at haha) but it's a nice touch to the story! Thanks so much for all the reviews on the last chapter I posted, it means a lot, keep 'em coming!

Rachel felt as if she was paralyzed; her brain was telling her to move, but her body was unable to respond. All she could think of while looking at the TV was all the poor people trapped in the fiery skyscraper, calling for the help that might never come. It was almost unbearable to watch, but she couldn't manage to pull herself away from the footage on CNN Live. Barely keeping her balance, Rachel slowly stumbled over to the white couch where her shocked friends were already sitting.

"Can you believe this?" Phoebe asked Rachel in a voice that was hardly audible.

"It's unbelievable…" Rachel whispered in response, putting her head in her hands.

"When will it be over?" Joey said softly as he wiped a tear from his eye and rested his head on his fiancés shoulder.

"I don't think it'll ever be over," Phoebe said, wrapping her free arm around Rachel, forming some sort of chain between the three friends.

On the TV, an eyewitness named Winston Mitchell began talking to the news anchors about what he saw from the ground.

"I saw a plane overhead, and then all of a sudden it sounded louder, I looked up and all of a sudden it smashed right there, right into the center of the World Trade Center. Uhm, big flash of flames, um, fire coming out from all over, there's a huge hole right now. It's almost like the plane went right through, I'm not sure."

"Winston, are you on the North-side there, where the plane made contact?" The male news anchor asked the shaken eyewitness.

"Yes, I am," Winston confirmed.

"Now, when you say huge hole, one of our earlier witnesses, Libby Clarkson, said not much of the plane came down the building-"

"No, it went totally into the building," Winston stated.

"It's in the building from what you can see?" The news anchor asked.

"Right," Winston replied.

"Can you see if there's a lot of debris down there, Winston?"

"Uh, n-"

Suddenly, Phoebe let out a gasp so loud that they could no longer hear the conversation between Winston and the news anchor.

"Guys, somebody jumped out of the building, did you see? Oh my God, oh my God!" Phoebe shrieked, her heart was pounding out of her chest. She couldn't believe her eyes, she had just watched someone's death on live television.

Rachel began to feel very nauseated, so she leapt off the couch and ran to the bathroom, quickly shutting the door behind her. Just the thought of someone jumping to their death was enough to make her sick. That, or morning sickness. Maybe a bit of both.

"I'll take that as she saw it," Phoebe mumbled to Joey, who was still hiding behind Phoebe's shoulder. He was very sensitive and couldn't stand to watch something so upsetting.

A few minutes later, Rachel came back out of the bathroom, looking a little frail.

"Rach, are you alright?" Joey asked in a concerned tone of voice. He was quite worried about her since he didn't know that she was experiencing morning sickness.

"Yes, I'm okay, I just don't know if I can watch anymore of this, it's too awful," she said, covering her eyes.

Right after she said that, a boom was heard, the tv screen lit up with a bright flash of orange, and black smoke poured out from the South Tower.

"The South Tower was just hit! I don't think this was accident, I think this is terrorism! America is being targeted, we're under fire!" Phoebe cried, causing Joey to start bawling.

What kind of a world am I bringing this baby into? Rachel asked herself, putting a hand over her stomach and hanging her head in dismay. Suddenly, Rachel had a petrifying thought that sent fear crashing through her like a tsunami.

"Oh my God, Ross went to a paleontology conference in the South Tower this morning!"

"Oh, no! What floor was he on? He might've been directly hit!" Phoebe yelled, tears flowing down her face.

I don't know, we need to get down there right now and make sure he is okay!" Rachel shouted in a frenzy, tears uncontrollably falling down her cheeks.

Without saying anything else, Phoebe and Joey bounced up off the couch and ran out the door. Just as Rachel had promised Monica earlier, she locked it behind them, then caught up with Phoebe and Joey, who were already down the first stairwell.

A/N: That's all for this chapter, hope you enjoyed. Just wanted to add in, I'm in no way trying to make light of the September 11th attacks, it was an absolute tragedy. As for the part on the news with Winston and the news anchor, that is actual dialogue from CNN Live that day. I got the audio from CNN's Youtube video called "9/11: Second plane hits South Tower," which was posted back in 2011. I'll post the next chapter if y'all review.
