Author's Note: The last chapter was a little fast pace, so the next few chapters are going to slow things down a bit. This chapter is going to be a little fluffy with some much needed R&R time. Thanks again for all of your continued support, it means the world to me. As for how long this story will be, I'll keep writing as long as people are reading. Also, I forgot to mention that this entire story takes place in the present day. Now that I have bored you with a long author's note, I bring you another chapter of Young Love. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: No matter how much I want to, I unfortunately don't own Friends.

The gang were all sitting in the coffeehouse talking. It had been about a month since Ross and Chandler's graduation.

"So have you guys set a date yet?" Rachel asked Phoebe and Joey.

"No… I think we're just going to wait a while before we finalize any details." Phoebe answered.

Ross' pager beeped. "That's the museum. I gotta go." He gave Rachel a quick kiss and left.

"So, how are things going with you two?" Phoebe asked Rachel about her and Ross.

"Oh, things are going very well." She answered with a big smile.

"Ooh! Give details!" Phoebe said eagerly.

"Please don't. I do not want that image in my head." Monica said.

"The sex is good, but the best part of our relationship is how sweet he is. He always brings me lilies, we always get a bottle of expensive wine, and he always has something romantic planned after dinner." Rachel explained.

"Wow, he really spoils you." Phoebe said.

"Tonight he said that we aren't going somewhere fancy, and I'm actually relieved. I've run out of dresses to wear." She said.

"Where's he taking you?" Monica asked.

"I'm not sure. He always surprises me." Rachel said, smiling.

"Ross has never, ever told a girl where he's taking her. He loves surprises." Chandler said.

Later, Rachel and Monica were sitting in Ross and Chandler's apartment talking. (Monica had moved in a few days before.) Ross walked in and said "Hey Rach, you wanna go out to lunch?"

"Sure! Can Mon come too?" Rachel asked with puppy dog eyes.

"You know I can never say no to you. Of course she can come." Ross said as he kissed her forehead.

Rachel grabbed her purse and Ross immediately took it from her. Why do you need this?" He asked her.

"So I can buy food..." Rachel answered.

Ross pulled out his wallet and said "Have you ever been on a date with me? I will never late you pay."

Rachel smiled and turned to Monica. "See, this is why I love him." She took her purse back and put it in her room.

They walked a few blocks and found a small sandwich shop. They walked in and saw someone sitting at a table with three sandwiches in front of them.

"Joey?" Ross asked in disbelief.

"Oh, hey guys." Joey said, his mouth full.

They got their food and sat down with Joey.

"What are you doing here?" Monica asked.

"Having lunch." He said, gesturing toward the food.

They sat down and ate together. After about ten minutes, Chandler showed up. After they finished eating, Chandler said "Joey and I are going to head over to the coffeehouse, anyone want to come?"

"Sure!" Monica replied.

Ross said "I'm taking Rachel somewhere, so we'll come later."

Rachel looked at him, surprised.

Rachel was surprised to see that they were heading back to their apartment.

"I thought we were going somewhere."

"We are. The apartment is somewhere." He said with a smile.

They went inside and Ross pulled a DVD from his jacket. She looked at the title and smiled. It was Weekend at Bernie's, her favorite movie.

"How did you know?" She asked, surprised.

"I have my ways." He said, winking.

She laughed and kissed him. She grabbed the movie and put it in the DVD player.

She sat down and cuddled up with Ross. By the time the movie was over, it was 6:30. Ross pulled out his phone and ordered Chinese food.

Ten minutes later, they were chowing down on chicken and rice.

"So this was your whole plan for tonight?" Rachel asked.

"Yep. Except we just have one thing to do..." Ross answered.

Rachel grabbed his shirt and passionately kissed him.

The next morning, Rachel woke up and saw that Ross was gone. She walked into the kitchen and saw him sitting at the table with two cups of coffee and a bag of muffins. She kissed him and thanked him as she reached into the bag. She smiled as she pulled out a blueberry muffin.

"How did you know these are my favorite?" She asked, still smiling.

"Easy. You order them every morning at the coffeehouse."

Rachel's phone rang.

"Hello... Yes, this is Rachel Green... Oh my God!... I'm coming right now." Rachel said, her voice quivering.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?" Ross asked, concerned.

"M-my father was in a... Car accident." She said, sobbing.

"Oh my God! Let's go. Right now. My car is out front."

They walked out to Ross' car, which was a 1965 Ford Mustang.

As they drove, Ross asked "Are you ok?"

"I'm just worried about my dad." She answered.

They pulled up to the hospital and walked up to the receptionist.

"Can you tell me what room Leonard Green is in? I'm his daughter." Rachel said to the receptionist.

She typed in the name and said "Mr. Green is in room 1906."

"Thank you." Rachel responded as they began walking towards the elevator.

Went they got to his room, three women were standing at his bedside.

"Ross, these are my sisters Jill and Amy and this is my mother." Rachel introduced.

"Mom, Jill, Amy, this is my boyfriend, Ross." She said as he shook their hands.

"Aren't you going to introduce me, sweet pea?" Leonard Green asked from behind them.

"Ross, this is my father." Rachel said.

"Pleasure to finally meet you, Dr. Green." Ross said. He leaned in to shake his hand, but stopped when he realized it was in a sling. Amy and Jill left with their mother, leaving Ross and Rachel with Dr. Green.

"So, you're the guy who is keeping my daughter away from home." Dr. Green said, looking at Ross.

"Daddy... He's wonderful. He's so sweet and I love him."

After about an hour, they left. They drove to her parent's house, where they would be staying until her father was released from the hospital.

When they got upstairs to Rachel's room, she said "Well... That's not exactly how I wanted you to meet my family."
