A/N: This is my first EVER fanfic! It's the way I think Season/Series Nine should go. You should know that I have not seen the last three episodes of Series 8-the last one I saw was when Joey tried to become a presenter on Bamboozled! So you should know where I am. Let's pretend that Rachel has given birth to a baby girl, and that is how "my" series eight ends, just her holding the baby, Ross looking on. Now, on with the scripts!
Episode One: TOW Rachel's baby.
In the hospital room. Rachel is holding her baby girl close to her, and Ross is standing behind her, making cooey noises. The rest of the gang are not yet in the room.
Rachel: Oh my god Ross. We created her. She's so...perfect. She's wonderful.
Ross: Of course she is. She's got the most beautiful woman in the world as her mother.
Rachel: Aww Ross, thanks. There is a moment's silence when Ross looks at Rachel
Ross: Err, Rache, that's the point where you say: "She's got the most handsome man in the world as her father."
"Rachel: Well, Ross, I would, but my Mom told me never to lie.
Ross: Oh, ok. He ignores the deliberate tease that Rachel has said, and strokes the baby's forehead. What should we call her?
Rachel: You know, I haven't thought about that yet. I've just been so mesmerised by this little girl.
Ross: nods. Yeah, well I was thinking about Judy.
Rachel: laughsYeah right Ross. That's such an old name.
Ross: Trixie?
Rachel: Too fairy-like.
Ross: Emma?
Rachel: That name is being used so much these days! I would normally pick it, but I'm not a sheep.
Ross: How about Jessie?
Rachel:thinks yeah ok then. What about a middle name?
Ross: Well, I have a perfect idea. What about Karen?
Rachel: That's a good idea. Jessie Karen...Gellar-Green.
Ross: I like that Rache. Maybe one day it will just be Gellar.
Rachel: not listening What did your daddy say Jessie Karen? What did he say? Ooh, oh no, Ross, she's crying, what do I do?
Ross: Sing?
Rachel: I can't sing! Don't you remember the shower incident?
Ross: Oh yeah, laughs that was one of the best showers I've ever had.
Rachel goes to hit him, and Ross laughs. Rachel smiles too.
Rachel: It would have been better if we'd been together when we had a child. Not that I'm saying I want....no, that's crazy, I would never date you again, I couldn't.
Ross: No! No, of course not.
Ross and Rachel both look uncomfortable, when there is a knock. Ross goes to open the door, and Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe bundle in.
Rachel: Look Jessie! It's your aunts and uncles all come to pay homage!
Monica: Jessie? That's such a cute name!
Chandler: My dad was contmeplating changing his name to Jessica, then decided he'd keep it as Charles...
Joey: Wow, she's gorgeous! She's going to be a looker when she's older.
Phoebe: And I can teach her to play the guitar! Oh yay!
Rachel: Phoebe, maybe you could wait a little while for that, like when she's 40.
Phoebe: Yeah, sure. I'll only be 72.
Chandler: What's her middle name then?
Monica: I bet it's Karen-am I right? she takes the baby from Rachel, and starts singing softly to her.
Ross: Yeah, my idea.
Joey: Well, where did you get that idea from then?
Everyone looks at Joey in annoyance.
Next scene: it is three days later. Mother and baby are home. Everyone is at Ross' apartment.
Joey: How come we never hang out here? Ross' apartment is so cool!
Monica: Haven't we had this conversation before?
Rachel: feeding the baby. I can't believe that I was worried about motherhood. It's so cool. I love doing this, it's brilliant.
Monica: I can't wait! I'm really looking forward to being a mother.
Chandler: She's not pregnant, don't worry. She's just...looking forward to it.
Phoebe: I never was a mother. Not really. And I don't remember my mother. She killed herself.
Rachel: I know, Phoebes, and I'm really sorry. Just don't spoil time as a mom.
Chandler: So, where do you keep the alcohol?
Rachel: Ross got rid of it, so I'm not tempted to drink with the baby. He made sure I didn't have one sip of wine while I was pregnant.
Joey: Ahh. That'll be the reason why we never hang out here.
Phoebe: Oh no!
Rachel: What? Phoebe, please don't shout around the baby.
Phoebe: Sorry, but I have to go. I have a client at three pm, and it's already 2:50! See you later.
Monica: Bye Phoebes. Rachel, Chandler and I have to go too. We've got dinner reservations at La petite....something.
Chandler: Yeah, so, we'd...err, we'd better go.
Rachel: sensing something is up. OK, guys, bye.
Next scene: at Monica and Chandler's place.
Monica: We got out of that one then.
Chandler: Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, what about your career? You won't be able to work.
Monica: Who cares? Chandler, you know how much I want a kid, and anyway, I've never heard you argue about having sex.
Chandler: Yeah, but usually we...oh, it feels like something I have to do, if we do it like this. It...
Monica: Don't worry, I will try not to make it like that.
Chandler: Oh...oh, ok.
Monica and Chandler go into the bedroom, we see that Rachel and Joey can see everything from Ross' window.
Rachel:I don't believe it!
Joey: Well, now we know that Monica has gone to la petite....
Rachel: warningly, covering the babies ears Joey!
Joey: What?
Next scene: Monica and Chandler are in the living room part of the apartment. Monica is laying on the couch, and Chandler is watching TV.
Monica: Well, I hope that worked.
Chandler: I still feel like it was something I HAD to do.
Monica: Oh, shut up. You enjoyed it, and you know you did.
Chandler: Yeah well.
There is a knock at the door. Chandler, after yawning, goes to answer it. It's Ross and Rachel, with Jessie.
Rachel: Have fun at "La Petite?"
Chandler: Oh...yeah, great fun.
Rachel: I bet you did. Anyway, we've come to ask you something. She walks into the apartment, followed by Ross, and they go to sit with Monica. Chandler stands behind the couch.
Monica: Hi, what?
Ross: Well, you know you two are going to be aunt and Uncle to Jessie-literally?
Chandler: Yes, so?
Rachel: Well, we were kind of wondering if you'd mind if just Joey and Phoebe were godparents. Ross wants this couple that he knows to be the other two godparents....do you mind?
Monica: No, of course not, do we Chandler?
Chandler: No, I guess not. Is that all?
Rachel: Yeah why, you trying to get rid of us?
Monica: Can I hold her, please? She's so sweet.
Rachel: Sure, you can hold her. Just don't drop her, and hold her head right. Oh, and make sure her back is supported, and...
Ross: Rachel, stop eating the baby books.
Rachel: Sorry! Aww, you look like you're right at home with her, Mon.
Monica: I know. I hope I get lucky this time.
Ross and Rachel look at her.
Chandler: We're trying for a baby.
Ross: Oh, that's wondeful. Then Jessie will have a little cousin!
Monica: Yeah, but the thing is, we've been trying since we got married. That was a year ago. I really think something's wrong with me.
Chandler: Honey, don't cry, please. There's nothing wrong with you. And, we haven't been trying non-stop, we've only just started, you know.
Monica: Yeah, I guess. Hand's the baby back to Rachel, as it starts to whimper.
Rachel: I think this little one needs changing. Good luck, anyway Mon.
Monica: Thanks Rache. See you later?
Ross: Why don't you come round later? I've stocked in with orange juice, cranberry, and even...check this out...coke!
Chandler: Score!
Ross: Yeah, well I don't want alcohol in the house. I mean, apartment. That's a thought-maybe we should buy a house....
Rachel: Good night you two. I'll get Ross out your way before he puts a down payment on a castle.
Last scene: Everyone is in Central Perk, all sitting down drinking coffee. Jessie is being held by Joey, who keeps watching Rachel adoringly.
Rachel: I feel like we haven't done this in ages!
Ross: Well, we haven't. Not all of us, have we? I feel normal now, back where I belong.
Monica: You romantic you.
Chandler: No, he's right, it does feel right now. Even though one of us has had a baby, two of us are married, one is in the new big movie coming out next month, and another has not played the guitar since the night I proprosed to you, I feel normal now.
Phoebe: Actually, I'm not in the new movie coming out.
Joey: Phoebes, he means me.
Phoebe: Oh. Well, I'm not married. And I certainly haven't had a baby-not recently, anyway.
Chandler: Then...
Phoebe: You left me out!
Chandler: I give up, I really do.
Monica: And it just got better.
Ross: What just got better?
Monica: Our news. I'm pregnant.
End shot...everyone stares at Monica, the baby is crying, sucking on Joey's shirt. Monica looks as pleased as punch, and Chandler looks bemused.
