Monica took Chandler's hand and led him outside the ambulance bay. They sat on the bench near the doors. Monica turned to face Chandler. She smiled nervously. Honey there's something I want to tell you"
In the exam room Rachel was ready to have her baby. She was starting to push. Ross supported her back and counted "Come on Rachel you can do it....1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10" Rachel fell back on the bed. Carter smiled up on her. You're doing great Rachel I can see the head" Rachel groaned. "I hate you Ross" Carter giggled "Don't worry Ross my wife said the same thing when our daughter was born" Rachel started to have another contraction so Ross held her up and started counting again.
Chandler looked at his wife. "Mon, honey what is it is something wrong" She took a deep breath "No nothing is wrong its right" He looked at her a bit confused. "Chandler I'm...I'm" she paused. Chandler took her hand in his ""You're what Mon" he asked softly. She looked right into his eyes. "Pregnant" she whispered. Chandler sat there silent for a minute before saying "We're having a...a baby" Monica nodded. He pulled her into is arms hugging her. "Are you happy" she whispered. He nodded and smiled "Yes, I'm gonna be a daddy"
Rachel was still pushing. She was giving Ross dirty looks the whole time. Carter glanced up at her "Okay Rachel you're crowning you're almost there" She sighed "you said that an hour ago" Ross held her up once again as he counted. "1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10" Carter smiled "The head is out Rachel you can relax for a minute" Abby handed him a suction bulb and he suctioned out the baby's mouth and nose. "Alright Rachel one last push and you'll have a daughter" Ross held her up again and she pushed. With in seconds the room was filled with the sounds of a crying baby. Carter smiled as he set the bay on Rachel's stomach. "Congratulations you have a beautiful baby girl" He clamped the cord and handed Ross a pair of surgical scissors. "Here you go Dad you can cut the cord" He cut the cord. Rachel had tears in her eyes as she gently touched her newborn daughter's little hand. "Oh Ross she's prefect" she whispered. Ross smiled and kissed her forehead. "Yes just like you he whispered.
Abby walked over "I'm just going to take her for a minute I'm going to clean her up and weight her" "Do you have a name for her" she asked them. Rachel and Ross looked at each other and smiled "Her name is Sarah Abigail Geller" Abby smiled "that's a beautiful name" She smiled down at the newborn she was caring for. "Happy birthday Sarah Abigail Geller" she whispered. Ross kissed Rachel's forehead "I'm going to go tell the gang our daughter is here" Rachel nodded.
Ross walked out to chairs just as Monica and Chandler were coming inside. When Monica saw her brother she grabbed Chandlers hand and pulled him over there. Ross looked at Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe. He smiled "Guys I have a daughter!" Monica shrieked with happiness "We have a niece Chandler!" "Can we see her" Ross nodded and led the group to Rachel's room.
Rachel was sitting in bed holding her new daughter in her arms when Ross walked in with their friends. Rachel smiled "Hey guys" she said softly "Come meet Sarah Abigail Geller" Phoebe walked over first. She looked at the baby in her arms. "Oh Rachel she's adorable" "Okay I so want a baby now" She looked over at Joey and winked. She started to laugh when he nearly fell. Joey smiled at the baby "How you doin" Rachel looked at him. "Joey, get away from my daughter" they all started to laugh. Monica and Chandler walked over to Rachel hand in hand. Monica smiled as she touched the baby's little hand "Hey Sarah we're your Aunt Monica and Uncle Chandler" Chandler looked at the baby and then at Monica he still couldn't believe that he would soon be a father too.
Monica saw the smile on his face "Lets tell them" she whispered in his ear. Chandler nodded in agreement. Ross had been standing there watching Rachel he came to a decision. Monica and Chandler looked at the smiling faces of their friends. Chandler smiled "Guys Monica and I have something to tell you" Monica couldn't hold her excitement any longer "We're having a baby!" she squealed. Ross smiled "That's great Mon!" He hugged her. He looked at Chandler "How could you man you knocked up my little sister" Chandler started to get nervous. Ross laughed "I'm joking Chandler I'm happy for you" He gave him a quick hug. Phoebe smiled "okay so now I really want a baby" She hugged her friends. Joey refused to look in Phoebe's direction. He hugged Monica. "You'll be a great mom" She smiled "Thank you Joey" he then hugged Chandler "Dude you're gonna be a dad" Chandler smiled as he looked at Monica. "Yeah I know" he replied.
Ross couldn't take his eyes off Rachel. He crossed the room to her and his daughter. He took her hand in his. "Rachel I've been in love with you since I was 19 years old I've never stopped loving you even when we were *taking a break* I've known for a long time that you were the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with" he paused long enough to sit on the edge of the bed. "Rachel Green, Will you marry me?" Rachel stared at him with shock. Monica, Chandler and Phoebe smiled with shock and happiness. Joey put on his best fake smile. He was an actor he knew he could pretend to be happy on the outside while inside his heart was breaking.
Rachel looked down at her daughter and then at Ross. She caught a glimpse of Joey. She knew he must be devastated. She was so confused she didn't know what to say. She still loved Ross she finally admitted to herself that she still loved him and always would and he was the father of her little girl. Then there was Joey she knew he loved her. She loved him but she loved him the way she loved Chandler but she often wondered if her feelings for Joey would ever change. Tears filled her eyes she didn't want to hurt either one of them. She sighed softly. She knew she had to make a decision. She looked at Ross. She took a deep breath. "Ross" she whispered.
What will Rachel do? Will she except Ross's proposal or will she turn him down for Joey? (Oh and all you ER fans don't worry a few ER docs will make a brief appearance in the next chapter) Find out in Chapter 4:TOW Rachel's Answer.......Coming Soon!!!!!
