Ross woke up with Rachel curled up next to him. He gently removed her arms from his neck and went downstairs. Mrs. Green was in the kitchen making breakfast.

"Good morning, Ross. Is Rachel up yet?" She asked.

"Nope. She's still asleep. Need some help?" He asked as he entered the kitchen.

"Sure, thank you." She said, smiling at him.

"Leonard told me about your conversation yesterday." Mrs. Green told Ross.

"Really?" Ross asked, surprised.

"Yes, and I told him about our conversation, but he is still not convinced." She said, smiling.

"Well, I'm excited-"He stopped when Rachel came in.

She said "Excited about what?"

"Oh… Uh, your dad. He's getting discharged today." Ross said, lamely covering up there conversation. Dr. Green actually was getting discharged, Mrs. Green had told him the night before.

Rachel immediately perked up. "Really?"

Ross came over and hugged her. "Yeah. I told you he was going to be fine." Ross said as he kissed the top of her head.

She looked up and smiled at him, so he kissed her on the lips.

Mrs. Green just stood back and admired how much they loved each other.

"Rachel, darling. I hate to interrupt, but we need to go pick up your father. We'll take my car because I don't think Leonard would appreciate the size of Ross' backseat." She said and they all smiled.

They all went into the garage, where Mrs. Green's black BMW X5 was parked.

"Ross, you want to drive?" She asked, handing him the keys.

"Yes, so that way you and Rachel can sit next to each other." She said, as Ross eagerly took the keys,

Mrs. Green got into the backseat and Ross opened Rachel's door for her. She smiled at him and kissed him as she got in. Ross closed her door and got into the driver's side.

He looked at the key, confused as to where to put it. Mrs. Green laughed.

"It's push to start. Just put your foot on the brake and push that black button by the steering wheel." She explained.

"Sorry, I've just never driven a car this nice." Ross said, feeling stupid.

He started the car and drove off.

When they got to the hospital, Rachel went inside with her mom while Ross waited in the car. They went to Dr. Green's room and saw that he was laying there waiting for them.

A nurse came with a wheelchair. "What's that thing for?" Dr. Green asked.

"You know the rules Doc. You have to leave in the chair." The nurse said, smiling.

"Fine." Dr. Green said, groaning as he sat in the wheelchair. They went out to the car and Dr. Green was surprised to see Ross in the driver's seat.

"What's he doing driving your car?" Dr. Green asked his wife.

"I told him to so that he could sit next to Rachel." Mrs. Green explained.

"Fine, he can drive, but I'm sitting up front." Dr. Green said, getting up and walking to the passenger side door.

The nurse wheeled the chair back into the hospital and Rachel got in the back of the SUV with her mother.

Fifteen minutes later, they pulled up to the house. Rachel and her mother got out, but Ross stayed in the car with Dr. Green. Rachel came to his window, surprised.

He rolled down the window and said "I'm going to talk to your dad for a minute. We'll be right in." He said, kissing her.

"Alright. Don't be long." She replied, smiling at him.

After she went inside, Dr. Green said "I wanted to talk to you about our earlier discussion…"

Rachel walked inside, curious as to what her boyfriend could possibly be talking about with her father. Whatever it was, she was just happy that they were getting along. Her father was very protective of her and had never liked any of her past boyfriends.

Ross and Dr. Green came in a few minutes later. Rachel pulled Ross aside and asked "What was that about?"

"I was just talking to your dad. I wanted to get to know him a little better." He smiled at her.

Rachel wasn't completely satisfied with his answer, but she let it go. She would get it out of him at some point.

Ross walked over to the couch, where Mrs. Green was sitting. He gave her back her keys and she thanked him. Once she saw Rachel heading up to her room, she said "How'd it go?"

"It went really well. We're making progress." Ross said.

"That's good. Now go spend some time with Rachel. She needs you right now." Mrs. Green said.

Ross nodded and walked up the stairs. He knocked on Rachel's door.

"It's me." He said.

"Come in." She said.

She was putting her stuff into her bag. Ross came up behind her and kissed her. She smiled and hugged him. He helped her finish packing up and then brought their bags to the car. They said goodbye to her parents and as Ross was putting the bags in his trunk, Dr. Green whispered to him. "I've given it a lot of thought, and I've decided to give you my blessing."

Ross immediately smiled and carefully hugged Dr. Green so he wouldn't hurt him. "Thank you sir. You won't regret this."

He walked up to Rachel and hugged her from behind. "Ready to go?" He asked.

"Yeah." She said, dreamily staring into his eyes.

He kissed her and opened her door for her.

He climbed into his side and Rachel said "I hope you know how to start this one."

They both laughed as he started the car and pulled away.

Back in the city, Ross opened the door to their apartment and smiled. There was a tie draped on Chandler's door handle.

"Well, I guess Mon and Chandler are busy." He said with a smile.

Rachel looked at him and said "Well then, I guess we have some time."

Ross passionately kissed her and guided her towards the bedroom.

One Month Later

Ross, Chandler and Joey were in Central Perk talking. School had started back up, so Ross and Monica were in class.

"So, I go to open the door for Monica, and I step in dog crap!" Chandler said. They all laugh.

"That's hilarious." His phone rang. "Hold on. Gotta take this." He said, walking outside.

He came back a few minutes later and said "You will never guess what just happened!"

"Ooh! Rachel's pregnant!" Joey guessed.

"What? No!" Ross said, glaring at him. "The museum offered me a promotion!"

"That's great!" They both congratulated him.

Rachel and Monica walked in a few minutes later. Ross and Chandler got up and greeted their girlfriends with hugs.

"How was your day?" Ross asked Rachel.

"Oh it was SO boring. My professor rambled on and on for hours. The only thing that kept me happy was knowing that you would be waiting for me when I got home. How was your day?" She answered.

"Great! My boss just called and promoted me!"

"That's amazing! Congratulations!" Monica and Rachel both said, hugging him.

"Hey, you guys want to go see a movie tonight?" Ross asked them.

"Oh, I can't I've got a date tonight. Her name is Claire. Or wait is it Allison tonight?" Jory said uncertainly.

Chandler said "Well, Monica and I have nothing to do tonight. What movie?"

"Rachel and I want to see that new movie, Jurassic World." Ross answered.

"Ok. We'll be there." Chandler said.

"Mon and I will just stay at your place so you don't have to pick us up." Rachel said, smiling.

"Well I can't argue with that logic." Ross said, returning the smile.

They all went to the movie and had a great time. Afterwards, they grabbed dinner and then went back to the apartment. Both couples didn't say a word as they entered, they just went straight to the bedrooms. Both guys came out a minute later and went straight for the drawer in the bathroom.

They both looked at each other and Ross said "Well, this isn't awkward… Giving my best friend a condom to use for my little sister." Ross said smiling as he handed one to Chandler.

"Have fun!" Chandler said as he went back to Monica, who was now standing at the door talking to Rachel.

Ross seductively pulled Rachel back into the room and shut the door behind them.

I know it wasn't that great of a chapter, but I wanted to save the good stuff for the next couple of chapters.
