Rachel now sat in her room, in a highly unfashionable hospital gown with Ross beside her. He was reading a magazine as Rachel worked through contractions. She just wanted to take that magazine and shove it where the sun doesn't shine, but she didn't feel strong enough to.
Rachel: God, Ross, why can't men go through this?
Ross: Well, Rachel, you see, a man has . . .
Rachel: I know that!
Ross: Okay, I was just trying to help.
Rachel: Well you're not!
Ross: Sorry.
Rachel: Just let me be for a few minutes.
Ross: Sure. Anything you need.
Ross stood and headed for the door as Rachel felt a very strong contraction coming through.
Rachel: No! Ross, don't go! I need you here.
Hearing Rachel say that, Ross felt a tug at his heart and he smiled softly. He sat down beside her again and kissed her hand.
Ross: I'll always be here for you Rachel.

Phoebe was standing in the waiting room, staring at the large picture of babies. She had a puzzled look on her face as Joey walked up behind her.
Joey: Hey.
Phoebe: I don't get it. How did they get so many babies to sit still for a picture?
Joey decided to interrupt the question and have a talk with Phoebe again.
Joey: Can I talk to you for a minute?
Phoebe: Sure. What's up?
Phoebe and Joey sat down beside each other and Joey began to talk.
Joey: Is there something wrong with me? I mean, do I have a woman repellant or something. I just can't get women to notice me! I'm trying to get over Rachel, but how can I if I can't get a date?
Phoebe: I'll go on a date with you.
Joey: You will? Aw, thanks Pheebs!
Joey stood and walked away, yet again, leaving Phoebe to herself.
Phoebe: No problem.

Chandler and Monica were staring at the babies in the nursery as they waited for news of Rachel. Monica had tears in her eyes as she looked at the babies. There were beautiful infants that were going home with their mommies and daddies any day now and they'd be loved and cared for.
Monica: Do you think we're going to have a baby?
Chandler: It's not like we haven't had a chance.
Monica: I know, but I want a baby!
Chandler: Well, I'm not going to steal one of these for you!
Monica: No! I mean, I want us to have a baby! Now.
Chandler: Right now? Well, if we're expecting, it's not going to happen now!
Monica: I've been waiting all of my life for a baby. We're not getting any younger Chandler.
Chandler: Honey, if we're not expecting already, then we'll try until we are.
Monica: Oh my god! Really?
Chandler: Really. I love you Monica and I'd be honored to father your child.
Monica laughed for a few moments as she hugged Chandler. They kissed momentarily and then a doctor came out and knocked on the wall beside Chandler's head. Monica and Chandler separated and looked at the doctor.
Doctor: Rachel should be delivering at any time. Of course just the father is allowed in there, but if you want to come wait outside the door, this would be a good time.
Monica: Thanks.
Phoebe and Joey are now walking side by side over to Monica and Chandler.
Phoebe: What's going on?
Monica: Rachel's going to have her baby really soon!
Phoebe: Wow! Let's go watch!
Monica: We can't go in, but we can wait outside the room.
The four of them followed the doctor down the hall to Rachel's room. They peered in and saw Rachel in an incredible amount of pain. Ross was sitting beside her, whispering in to her ear. Monica felt a tug at her own heart as she realized that in a few minutes another child would come into the world, a child that would be a part of her life forever.
Rachel: God, Ross, why can't men go through this?
Ross: Well, Rachel, you see, a man has . . .
