Stitches
Monica was in chock.
Was that…?
"Rachel?"
Rachel nodded nervous and jut kept smiling.
"Is that you?" Monica asked.
"Yes," Rachel managed to whisper, "It's me."
"Oh my God…" Monica said.
They looked at each other.
"Well come on then." Monica shrieked, "Give me a hug!"
Rachel stepped into Monica's arms and they embraced each other for a long time.
When they broke apart, both were in tears.
Phoebe poked Rachel's shoulder, "Well, hello stranger."
"Phoebs!" Rachel cried and hugged her.
Monica looked at the other people inside the sheets and caught Joeys eyes, "Aren't you gonna hug me, Joe?"
Joey smiled and gave her a hug, after that he and Chandler embraced in a manly´ hug.
"You guys." Joey smiled, "You remember Alex right?"
"Yeah," Monica said, "Your girlfriend."
"Wife now." Alex said and showed her finger off.
"Wow!" Phoebe said, "Why didn't I get invited Tribbiani?"
"Sorry Phoebs." Joey said, trying to calm her anger.
"Who was your best man?" Chandler asked.
"One of my friends," Joey looked sorry, "Eh, Claude."
"Who the hell is that?"
"A guy I met when we taped that movie in France." Joey explained.
"What happened after you got married?" Mike asked.
"Well, obviously, these two happened." Alex said, pointing at JJ and Sandra.
"You have kids Joe?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah."
"My name is Sandra." Sandra said, shaking Phoebe's hand, "And this is my brother JJ."
"Hey." he smiled.
Rachel was standing in the back with Gracie's hand in hers and Emma right next to them.
Suddenly Monica turned around and smiled.
"Let me guess," she said, "Emma?"
Emma smiled and went to hug her, "Hi Monica."
"It's really you?"
"Pretty much." Emma smiled.
Monica got tears in her eyes, "I cant believe it. My niece!"
Judy stood right behind them and looked at it. Emma was her grandchild. She would see her grandchild again.
"Hey Ems?" Rachel interrupted, "This is Ross' mother, Judy. Your grandma."
"Hi," Emma smiled, shy.
"Where's the bathroom, mom?" Gracie whispered to Rachel.
"I don't know." Rachel said, "Ask Sophie or Erica."
"Okay," Gracie said, looking at her stomach. Something was definitely wrong. The pain was killing her. She had to go see if it were the stitches or what was the cause of it.
She rushed to Sophie, who showed her the way.
When everyone had calmed down, Ross approached Rachel with a huge smile.
"Hi."
"Hi."
"It wasn't that horrible, was it?" Ross asked.
Rachel shook her head, "No. Mon haven't killed me yet, but I'm sure it'll come."
"Don't worry. I wont let her hurt you."
Rachel giggled, "It seems like Emma is on pretty good terms with your dad, huh?"
"They remind an awful lot of each other when you think about it."
"Yeah, scary, huh?" Rachel said.
"Yeah," Ross said, "Scary."
"Rach, Rach, Rach!" Monica cried, "You have to tell me how you and Joey know each other!"
Rachel smiled, "Yeah, but can't we go sit down, everyone?"
Monica nodded and they all went into the living room. All, except Sophie and Gracie who still were gone.
--
Rachel took a sip of her coffee and looked at the waiting faces.
She gave them a shy smile, and was about to begin, when Sophie rushed into the living room.
"Aunt Rachel?" she breathed.
"What's wrong, Soph?" Phoebe asked.
Sophie waved her off and turned to Rachel, "Rachel, I think something is wrong with Gracie."
"What?"
"She went into the bathroom 30 minutes ago. She asked me if I could wait. I don't know what the problem was, but I just heard a crashing sound. I think she fainted, but the door is locked!"
"What!" Rachel cried, getting up and rushing after Sophie.
"Oh no…" Emma began to cry, "Not again…"
"Come on, Ems!" Erica said, pulling in her hand, "We have to go see what's wrong with Gracie!"
They rushed off, and back were a few confused people.
Monica was the one to brake the silence, "Who's Gracie?"
Ross sighed, "It's Rachel's daughter."
"WHAT?" Monica and Phoebe yelled at once.
"We have to go check on her dad." Ben said.
And they all rushed up to find Rachel banging at the door.
"Gracie, answer me, honey." she yelled, "What's wrong? Can you hear me?"
"Do you have a spare key, Monica?" Emma asked her aunt.
Monica nodded and went down to get it.
Two seconds later she was back, and Rachel inserted to key in the lock and turned it around.
She opened the door and hold her breath.
Inside was Gracie, lying unconscious on the floor.
"Gracie!" Rachel cried, "Wake up sweetie."
"What's wrong with her, mom?" Emma asked.
"I don't know." Rachel said.
"Check her stitches."
"Yeah, good idea." Rachel said lifting her blouse, "Yes, I think something is wrong in there."
"Here's some water." Erica said handing Rachel a glass.
Rachel took it and threw it in Gracie's face.
"Mom?" Gracie whispered.
"Shh.. it's okay, I'm right here, baby." Rachel whispered, hugging her child.
Emma turned around and looked at Jack, "Honey, maybe you should go call an ambulance?"
