Ross woke up and saw that Rachel was gone. He went downstairs and saw her in the kitchen with her mother.

"Hi honey. Mom and I made pancakes." Rachel greeted him as he came in.

He hugged her and kissed her forehead. "Thank you." He said. He turned to her mother. "Thank you Mrs. Green." He said to her.

"You're very welcome. Rachel has told me so much about you and my husband will be glad to hear how much of a gentleman you've been to our little girl." Mrs. Green replied.

"After we eat, we're going to go see him." Rachel told Ross.

"Good. I'll drive." Ross offered.

"That's very kind of you, Ross." Mrs. Green said.

"Anything for Rachel." Ross said sweetly, kissing her as she set his plate on the table.

They ate and then Ross drove them to the hospital.

When they got to Dr. Green's room, he groaned. "Ugh, it's you again." He said, looking at Ross.

"Hi Dr. Green. How are you feeling today?" Ross asked.

"I feel like I got T-boned by an SUV yesterday." He said.

Rachel took Ross' hand and stepped in front of him.

"Oh daddy, I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'll be right here if you need anything." She said, a tear rolling down her cheek.

"Can you do one thing for me, sweet pea?" Dr. Green asked.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Can you tell me what you see in that guy?" Dr. Green asked, pointing at Ross.

"Well, uh he's really sweet, romantic, and I love him." Rachel said, looking up at Ross and smiling.

Dr. Green looked at his daughter and said something that surprised her. "Well, if you love him, and he loves you, then I guess he's okay in my book."

"Wow, you've never said that about any guy I've ever dated." Rachel replied.

"Well, to be honest with you, I've never seen you happier than when you are with him, and I don't want to keep you from being happy." Dr. Green smiled.

They stayed for a few minutes and Mrs. Green suggested that they get some food.

She smiled and held her hands up in surrender. "I love you. Will you ever let me pay for a meal?" She asked, laughing.

"Not a chance." He replied with a smile. He handed the cashier his credit card and said "I love you too." As he gave Rachel her purse back.

They ate and then went back to the hospital to pick up Rachel's mom, who had stayed at the hospital with her husband. "They're discharging him tomorrow." Mrs. Green said as Ross helped her into the backseat of his muscle car. "That's great news!" He said.

They got back to the house and Ross and Rachel sat down on the couch. Rachel looked sad, so Ross asked "What's wrong?"

"It's just that my dad is a doctor, so you don't think anything could possibly happen to them, then I get the call that he was in a car accident. I don't know what I would have done if you weren't there. You've kept me strong through all of this." Rachel said, leaning her head on her boyfriend's shoulder.

"Come on. Let's take a walk. It'll make you feel better." He helped her up and kissed her.

They walked past the large federal style homes that made up the neighborhood and Ross smiled. "I haven't been down this street in years. Is it just me, or have the houses here gotten bigger?"

"I think you're just used to living in the city. Out here, it's like a whole other world."

"Yeah. Manhattan has ridiculously small apartments." Ross said with a smile.

A cool gust of wind made Rachel shiver, so Ross immediately pulled off his coat and gave it to her. She smiled at him sweetly and kissed him.

"I love you." She told him.

"I love you too." He said back.

"Feeling better?" He asked her.

"Of course. Being with you never fails to cheer me up. Thanks." She answered, smiling at him.

Ross smiled back at her and kissed her passionately.

They got back to the house and watched TV until Rachel fell asleep. Ross pulled a blanket from the arm of the couch and draped it over her, kissing her on the forehead. Mrs. Green came in and smiled when she saw them.

"You two are perfect for each other. I can clearly see that everything she told me about you was true." She said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mrs. Green." Ross replied.

"So, have you thought about asking her…?" She said.

Ross looked over to make sure that Rachel was fully asleep before he responded. "Actually, I already have a ring."

"Really?" Mrs. Green said, surprised.

"Yeah. You want to see a picture?" Ross asked, pulling out his phone.

"Of course!" She replied enthusiastically.

"Hold on, it'll take me a minute to find it. I had to bury it in my phone so Rachel wouldn't find it… Ah here it is." Ross said, handing her his phone.

"Oh my God! It's beautiful." She exclaimed.

"It's my grandmother's." Ross said.

"How are you going to ask her?" She inquired.

"Honestly, I haven't really thought about that. I don't want to rush into anything. I'm going to wait until she graduates." Ross explained.

Rachel began to stir, so Ross quickly put his phone away and went back to sit next to her. He picked her up and carried her to her bedroom, the same way he had done the night that her boyfriend had broken up with her.

As he was carrying her up the steps, she opened her eyes and smiled. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly. When they got to her room, Rachel opened the door and he gently laid her on the bed.

"You are so sweet." Rachel said.

"I didn't want to wake you." Ross said with a smile.

Rachel smiled at this. She loved how much he cared about her and how sweet he was. He got into the bed and crawled under the covers. She got under the covers too and kissed him softly. He wrapped his arms around her and watched her as she drifted off with a big smile on her face. After a few minutes of watching her sleep, Ross nodded off too.
