Hey you all.. I am actually kinda dissapointed because the latest chapter of It Should Have Been You did not get much reviews. I'm trying to keep the collection of Roschel fanfics alive and buzzing, you know. But I do need the reviews - good or bad, so that other wonderful writers are motivated to write a few stories about our favourite couple. I am only posting the chapters here cos I write for myself. So please, it is a humble request to you all, read and review! Thanks.. Now on with story.

"Wow" Ross was heaving, Rachel still had her legs around his waist as she sat on the bathroom counter. He waited for this moment to happen since the day they got back together. He didn't know it will happen this way. However, he had never made such passionate love to her. Yes it was more of a make up sex, but that did not mean there was no love involved. With Rachel, it was never just sex. It was so much more.

"I know.. I never realised how much I missed you until just now" She said, giving him a peck.

"Well, now you won't ever have to think about that. You get unlimited coupons for Ross' lovin'" He imitated Joey, making her chuckle. They leaned in to kiss each other. But before their lips could brush against the other, they heard a shriek from the bedroom. They pulled away and straightened themselves.

Ross immediately put on a pair of boxers and a t-shirt and ran towards their daughter, who had tears flowing down her cheek by now. He kissed her on the forehead and swung her subtly to send her back to dreamland, mentally kicking himself for being so irresponsible. Having sex in the bathroom when his daughter is in the next room, what was he thinking. But then, the reason for such an act came walking through the door.

Rachel.

He couldn't think straight when she was giving herself to him completely.

She came near them and took Emma in her arms. He was amazed at how Emma stopped crying just as she was held by her loving mother.

"Looks like someone wanted mommy's attention" Ross started in baby voice and kissed Emma's hand. Rachel smiled.

"Can we let her sleep in the bed for tonight? She needs to lay next to me, that's why she's being so cranky" Rachel explained.

"Of course Rach, I'll sleep on the couch. Don't worry" Ross offered.

"What? No.. Ross, you sleep on the bed okay? You're her father" Rachel said sternly, walking away from him to the bed and laying their daughter. Ross smiled looking at the two most precious girls of his life.

"You coming or what?" She gave him a look when she saw him staring at her, with his signature goofy smile.

He got into bed and propped himself up on his elbow while Rachel turned to her left. They both kept admiring the little angel they had made together.

"You know I have never had this.." He said in a low tone, stroking the soft skin on Emma's arm.

"What do you mean? You have Ben" Rachel reminded him.

"Yeah I do. Uhh.. what I really meant was, looking at my baby with her mother, you know. I never had that with Ben. And now I guess.. sharing this bed with you and Emma together, this is my first" He said a little too emotional.

Rachel smiled, understanding what he felt, so she put her hand on his cheek.

"And you will have many more moments like these, Ross" She said carressing his cheek.

"I know.." Ross turned and kissed her fingers "But I gotta say, when you both moved out, I thought to myself, there goes another chance of me having a family. I mean, you were right there in front of me, raising our baby alone"

"Hey.. we are a family okay? Even when we weren't together, we were. Alright?" Rachel said firmly. "Although not a conventional one"

"That I know, Rach. One thing I always knew was the fact that you won't ever take away my rights as Emma's father. No matter what"

Rachel nodded.

"I have never told this to anybody, but when Carol and Susan did not give Ben my family name, I was heartbroken" Ross shook his head. "And in the back of my mind, I thought you won't give our child my name..." He trailed off looking at her pained look. ".. for obvious reasons, Rach, I didn't expect that"

Rachel's look came to normal and he continued "But when you corrected Dr Long and said 'Baby girl Geller-Greene' , I just-I felt like an ass to ever doubt you. It made me so happy, you will never know"

"You know.. hearing this, it reminds me of the time when I found out I was pregnant. I instantly knew you were the father. And after the initial shock, the first thing that came into my mind was the fact that I'd always have a piece of you with me. No matter how we end up" She looked at Ross to see him smiling.

"I guess we loved each other all along. It is a shame that we lost those 6 years though" Ross looked down. His voice had a hint of regret.

"We were really stupid, weren't we?" Rachel said making the moment lighter. He chuckled and looked up at her.

"Not anymore"

"Okay Emma, give mommy a smile so she can go and have a good day at the conference" Rachel said in baby voice holding her daughter close to her, to which Emma laughed. She kissed her on the nose and heard Ross' voice

"Don't you want a smile from me to have a good day?" He asked sheepishly from behind.

Rachel put Emma in her bassinet and walked towards him. "No.." she kept her hands around his neck. She kissed him on the lips. The kiss lingered for a few moments. She pulled away, keeping her forehead against his. "Bye" She picked up her bag.

"Miss me" Ross yelled.

She turned around and smiled. "Believe me, I will"

Ross pushed the stroller with a wide awoke Emma. He was enjoying showing his daughter around. Okay, so she could not care less about anything, but her father was having a good time. First he took her to a park where he imitated her by crawling like she did. She did her baby laugh and he clicked a lot of pictures. Then he fed her and laid under the tree with her on his chest. Together they took a nap.

Now he was in a local Parisian market, thinking about what to buy Rachel for her mother's day present. It was her first. He smiled at the thought. Never ever in his teens did he think that the homecoming queen, Rachel Greene would have dorky Ross Geller's baby. Then, even the idea of dating her seemed out of question. But now..

Ring.

He stopped walking and picked up his phone. "Hello?"

"Hey Ross" He smiled at her sister's voice.

"Hi Mon, how are you?" He resumed pushing the stroller.

"I'm good. What about you, having fun with Rachel? I hope you two aren't fighting in the most romantic city of the world" Ever energetic Monica rambled on the phone.

"Slow down Mon. I'm really enjoying myself over here. Thanks to you" He said, remembering her come up with the idea.

Monica smiled. "No problems. And how is my favourite niece?"

"She is great. She's sight seeing" Ross said looking at Emma.

"So you wanna tell me something I might have an idea about?" Ross chuckled at her sister.

"Come on Mon. You could at least have let us come back to New York. You always ruin the surprise" He said playfully, kneeling down to check on Emma.

"So it is really true? You guys are back together?"

"Yes.. very much" He could not wipe away his smile.

"I'm so happy for you. Although I'm mad at Rachel for not telling me sooner. But anyway, how did it happen?" She asked for the details.

"Mon the call is long distance and so is the story. I really think you should let us come back first. And please, don't tell the guys. Feel special to be the only one to know the secret" Ross convinced her.

Monica laughed and they said their goodbyes.

"So Emma, what do you think we should buy Mommy?" Ross asked her to which she made a baby noise, and lifted her leg to kick him softly.

"Yeah.. that's what I thought" He chuckled, rubbing his nose.

(...)

"Hey, you" Rachel smiled as she entered the hotel room. Ross looked up from his papers and reciprocated. He got up and walked towards her. Both met midway and embraced in a hug.

"I really missed you" Rachel said, her face in his chest. Ross kissed her hair. She pulled away to look at him and started playing with his earlobe. "How's Emma doing?"

"Oh she's taking a nap" Ross answered, stroking her exposed skin on the lower back under her shirt.

"Was she good?" She smiled up at him.

"Always an angel"

"What did you two do today?" Her fingers continuously rubbing the back of his earlobe, while her other hand settled on his chest.

"We went to a park, played a little. I clicked pictures for you to see" This brought sparkle in her eyes which made Ross kiss her forehead. "Do you have to go tonight?"

"Ahh, yes. And I have to start getting ready straight away. The venue's far from here" Rachel said with a disappointment.

"It's alright. We still have tomorrow night before we fly back right? I'll make you pay" Rachel nodded and gave him a soft peck before going away to get ready.

(...)

Rachel fiddled with the keys of the room. She was being extra careful as to not make any noise that would wake up the other occupants of the room. She entered the dark room and made her way over to the bathroom to undress herself. After she undid the zipper she felt a hand uncover her right shoulder off her dress. She smiled as he gave an open mouthed kiss and sucked on the bare skin. She kept her left hand over his that rested on her stomach, and used the other one to caress his cheek. She felt like losing herself in the amazing feeling of his lips on her skin. She was just about to turn around when he stopped his processions and subtly slid something up to her finger. Rachel gasped and jerked both her hands to see it.

It was a ring.

Then he brought her closer by pressing her stomach against him to whisper in her ears.

"I know it's only been over a month that we got back together. But it seems like forever already, you know" She turned around, tears flowing down her cheeks. He kissed her tears away and continued. "I just- it's a promise. This is me telling you that I want to be with you and Emma for the rest of my life. Don't worry, I'm not proposing. But it might turn into one. Just wanted to give you a heads up on that" She chuckled, still very emotional by his sweet words.

"So this is it?" She asked softly hoping to god he'd say that because she loved the idea of forever with him.

He almost chuckled at her innocence. He brought her up a little to keep their foreheads against each other. He looked deeply in her eyes and answered

"THIS... has always been IT"

She smiled in appreciation and kissed him hard to show him how happy he had just made her, possibly even more than she already was for the last month.
