Chapter XX

"The One With Jimmy and Elizabeth's Wedding

Today was Jimmy and Elizabeth's wedding day. Ross and Rachel woke up early this morning, preparing for the wedding. Unlike other guests, they must arrived an hour before the actual wedding began. Rachel was brushing Emma's hair, and putting her dress on and Ross started to get agitated, he continued to look at his watch and paced around Emma's room.

"Are you done yet? We have to leave in ten minutes" Ross asked Rachel

"Ross. It would be helpful if you just stop pacing and be quite." She said as she gave him a look.

"I mean you've been doing her hair since like ten minutes ago. I can braid her hair and redo it all over again in ten minutes." He said sarcastically

"Oh.. Ross..Would you just shut up!" She rolled her eyes

"I'm trying to make her hair perfect, so she will be the cutest flower girl they've ever seen." She added

"Finee.. Just do it faster." He said

"Did you bring the presents? And Emma's bag?" She asked him

"Yup, everything's ready. I got everything in my hands." He said proudly

"And the car key?" She asked

"The key is right ..." He paused

"Ross?" She asked him as he suddenly stopped talking

"The key! Where did I put the key?!" He started to panic and went out looking for the key.

"Oh my God." Rachel stood up and helped him looking for the key.

Ten minutes later

They've searched everywhere but key is nowhere to be found. Ross then checked his pockets once more, and he found it on his left pocket of his tux.

"Found it!" He yelled

"Where?" Rachel asked

"Uhh...Uhm.. In my pocket?" Ross said nervously

"What?!" She looked at him on disbelief

"I mean I don't know how it got there. Someone must've put it there, because I've looked for it before and it wasn't there." He explained himself in a squeaky voice.

"Ross. I swear if we're not running late, I'm gonna kill you! Uhh!" She groaned

"But luckily we're late. So we're better get going." He said as he grabbed their bags in one hand and held Emma in his other hand.

...

The Plaza Ballroom

Despite all the drama, Rachel, Ross, and Emma managed to come to the wedding in time.

"Wow this is beautiful." She said in awe as she observed the ballroom.

"Meh, ours are better than this." Ross said.

"Well, that mister, you have to thank me for planning it perfectly." She said proudly

"And me too?" He asked her hopefully

She shrugged her shoulder and said nothing.

"What? I helped you a lot!" He said as he tried to defend himself

"Like what?" She raised her eyebrows

"Uhh.. Uhm... The flower bouquet!" He yelled

"I ordered that." He said, smiled proudly

"Well, nu uh. You didn't do that, Monica did that for you." She explained

"Well, see.. Monica is MY sister and she ordered it under MY instructions. So, technically I ordered the flower." Ross said

Rachel scoffed at him and rolled her eyes.

"Fine, you helped a lot with the wedding preparations. In fact, I don't think there is a wedding without your help." She said sarcastically

Just then Jimmy walked over them

"Look at you guys bickering like a real married couple." Jimmy teased them

"Jimmy! Look at you! You look so handsome, honey." Rachel said as she gave Jimmy a hug.

"Hey, Jim. Congrats for the wedding, man." Ross said to him as he shook his hands.

"Thank you guys for coming. And would you look at this angel. She's so gorgeous." Jimmy said as he gently stroked Emma's hair.

"Are you sure, Emma is yours, Ross?" Jimmy tried to tease Ross

"Hey! Of course she is. She may get her mom's beauty. And thankful for that." Ross slightly giggled before he contonued, "But Emma has my best traits . I mean look at her, she's so smart." Ross explained

Rachel then smiled at his husband.

"I admit it. I swear, sometimes I thought Emma was Ross. They're like twins." She said

"Alright. So, is Ms. Emma ready?" Jimmy asked

"She is." Rachel replied

"Okay, I think we need her now." Jimmy said

Ross then handed Emma to Jimmy.

"Emma, honey.. You have to be good and do what Uncle Jimmy tells you, okay?" Ross said to his daughter

"Okay daddy." Emma smiled at him

They both then gave their daughter a kiss and as soon as Jimmy took Emma away, they sat down at their seats.

...

The wedding ceremony was done beautifully. Soon after, the wedding reception began. Rachel, Ross, and Emma shared a table together with Rachel's family, his dad, mom, and her two sisters. Emma was sitting at Ross's lap as he feed her.

"So, Amy, it's been a while since I saw you." Ross said to one of Rachel's sister, Amy while feeding Emma.

"What do you mean? I saw you last week." Amy said

Ross looked at Rachel, confused.

"No, the last time I saw you would be when Rachel and I got married in Hawaii." Ross explained

"No, you're not. I bought falafel from your place last week." Amy explained

Ross looked at Amy in disbelief

"Amy. For the millionth time, I'm not selling falafel! I'm a professor at New York University." Ross snapped at her

"Yeah, whatever." Amy rolled her eyes, ignoring him.

Rachel's sisters always find a way to get on his nerves. It was something he had to get used to after Rachel and Ross got married, to be civil around her family and tried not to kill one of them in the process.

"I swear if she wasn't your sister, I'm going to kill her." Ross whispered to Rachel.

Rachel gave her a pat in the back.

"I know. Believe me.. I am too." Rachel nodded in agreement

They both startled when they hear breathing behind them. It was Dr. Green, Rachel's dad.

"Do you have something to share with us, Ross?" He said to Ross

Ross always gets agitated around Rachel's dad for one obvious reason. He was a scary man. It was only after Ross married Rachel that Dr. Green started to call him by his real name instead of nicknames, like wethead or gelboy. Ross saw that as a big progress.

Ross cleared his throats and answered him, "No..sir.."

"Can I have my granddaughter? I want to have a dance with her." Dr. Green said as he offered his arms

Ross then quickly took Emma from his lap and put it into Dr. Green's arms.

"Sure.. here she is.." Ross said as he handed Emma to him.

After Emma and Rachel's dad left, Ross stood up and offered his hands to Rachel.

"May I?" Ross asked Rachel for a dance

"I'm not sure." Rachel wrinkled her nose

"Come on, it would be fun." He said

She said nothing.

"Okay, anytime now, my hand is starting to hurt." He said

"Alright..." She took his hands and stood up.

They were both dancing to the slow music. Ross put his arms around her waist and Rachel put her arms around his neck.

"You know what? This reminds me of something." Rachel said to Ross, smiling.

"What?"

"You remember that day on Chandler and Monica's wedding?"

"Yeah?"

"That morning I found out I was pregnant with Emma."

"I know that, you were looking at me weirdly for the entire wedding." He chuckled as he reminisced the past

"I did?"

"Yeah, you were staring at me the whole time."

"Well I guess that time I still found it hard to believe I'm pregnant with your baby."

"So anyway, I saw you dancing with the kids and I immediately knew you would be a perfect dad for our baby." She said as she smiling at him.

"Really? Well I actually-. Never mind." He stopped himself.

Only he knew the reason why he danced with those kids during the wedding was simply to attract Mona. Well, thankfully he stopped talking, or else it would ruin the mood.

"You actually, what?" She raised her eyebrows

"Nope, it's nothing." He said and then brushed his lips against her.

"You look gorgeous. Did I say it already?" He said

She nodded and smiled

"Well, you look not so bad yourself." She paused and whispered to his ear, "You're handsome."

They were both smiling and kissing when suddenly a voice interrupted them.

"Rachel?" A man said.

Rachel then quickly turned around and found Paul standing next to them.

"Oh my God it is you! You look gorgeous!" Paul said

"Oh, Paul! Hi, and thank you. You look good too." She said, smiling at him

Ross cleared his throats, emphasizing his presence.

"Oh.. Ross. I didn't see you there." Paul said

"Oh, Really? I'm like 6ft and yet you didn't see me. How is that even possible?" He said it sarcastically as he rolled his eyes

Paul looked at him for a moment, said nothing, and then chooses to ignore him as he turned his attention back to Rachel.

Ross looked at him annoyingly.

"So, Elizabeth told me about this. You and Ross got married, huh? Tell me why, Rachel. You broke up with me. And marry him instead? Are you okay?" Paul asked her

"Hey! What the hell is wrong with you, man!" Ross yelled at him

"Okay! Enough you two! Look, Paul.. Ross is a perfect husband and a perfect father to our children. And more importantly I love him and he love me. I am very happy with him." She explained

Ross then started to smile brightly and laughed at Paul as if he wanted to embarrass him. Well he is actually wanted to embarrass him.

"HA HA! You heard that? She love ME... not you... but ME." Ross rubbed it to Paul's face.

"And that is my cue to leave. I'm gonna grab a drink leaving you two kids fighting. Nice to see you again, Paul. Bye." Rachel said and left both of them alone.

"Hey, Rach. Wait for me." Ross walked away from Paul after giving him a dirty look.
