Chapter 10: Decisions

Joey: This is why I didn't want to tell you. I've been out here thinking about this for awhile now. I've thought about every detail. And I decided. To go.

Rachel eyes fill with tears and Joey goes over and embraces her in a hug. She cries into his shoulder.

Joey: I'm sorry Rach. I don't want to leave, but I have to. This is my big chance.

Rachel: I know Joey. You should um....go pack. I'll be over in a minute.

Joey: Are you going to be ok?

Rachel: Yeah. I just have to talk to Monica.

Joey: Okay.

Joey crawls in the window and heads over to his and Rachel's apartment. Rachel crawls inside a couple minutes later and sits by Monica on the couch.

Monica: Did you tell him?

Rachel: No.

Monica: You have to tell him.

Rachel: I can't! If I tell (Joey walks in and no one sees him) Joey I'm pregnant he'll never go, and he can't miss this it's his big break.

Joey turns around and walks out the door. They hear him leave.

Rachel: No.

She jumps off the couch and runs out the door and into their apartment.

Joey: Why didn't you tell me.

Rachel: Joey you don't understand I couldn't tell you.

Joey: I'm not leaving you.

Rachel: Joey you have to go.

Joey: No Rachel! I'm not leaving you.

Rachel: Yes you are!

Joey: Rachel!

Rachel: What?!?!

Joey: Think about this for a minute. It was hard enough to decide to leave before. I'm going to be a daddy. Do you think I'd leave that? Do you think I'd miss the first year of my child's life to make a movie? Rachel I'm not going to leave you here like this. Other jobs will come along.

Rachel: Joey. You can't just blow this off, because your fiance got pregnant. What kind of wife would I be if I let you miss this opportunity?

Joey: And what kind of father and husband would I be if I left my pregnant wife alone for a year and a half?

Rachel: Joey I love you too much to let you stay.

Joey: And I love you too much to go.

Rachel: Joey if you missed this for me I would never forgive myself.

Joey: Rachel I won't leave you like this. I don't care if this is my big break. You're more important to me than anything in the whole world.

Rachel: Joey please.

Joey: No. I'm not going and that's the end of it.
