Coming Clean/A New Beginning
Rachel and Ross both shot Monica a look. Monica covered her mouth in horror. Had she just done what she thinks she just did? She looked at Rachel pleadingly, and Rachel held out her hands symbolizing that it would be okay. She pulled Ross over.
"Ross, please, you take care of this, I need to find my dad." She whispered. Ross nodded and both of them stood. Ross jogged over to the microphone and took it out of Monica's death grip.
"It's okay every one, it's okay." Rachel heard him begin. But she was already out of the reception hall. She searched room-to-room trough out the hall and accidentally walked into someone's anniversary party. She held in all of her tears as she exited the hall. She looked at the busy street. There where many cars, including her parents. She looked down and sat on the steps. If only she and Ross hadn't felt the need to further their relationship! Why had she been so stupid? She looked over to see a man in a tux smoking a cigarette. She neared him and as she got closer she recognized him.
"Daddy?" She asked softly. Dr. Greene turned to face her. "I never knew you smoked." She said sadly.
"Well, I don't have a reason for clean living anymore." He looked down and flicked the ashes off of his Marbol Cigarette. She came closer.
" I know that this isn't what you wanted my life to turn out like. But I chose it. It was my decision."
"Why didn't you feel you could tell me?" he asked concerned. Rachel looked up from her trembling hands and glared at him.
"I know you, you freaked out when I told you I was getting married. How was I to know how you would act if I told you I was pregnant?" He looked at her. For the first time in all of his years, DR. Geller was at a loss for words. She made a great point. He wasn't understanding enough towards her. He never would have accepted the fact that his favorite daughter was pregnant at seventeen.
"I know this is scary, I'm scared too, but I need you now, more than ever. I know you feel like I'm all grown up." she stopped to wipe her eyes. "But I am still a little girl who needs her daddy. I love Ross, and I am glad that he out of every man in this world is going to be the father of my child. How many boys at my school do you think would step up to the plate and take the responsibility of raising his child? Not many. You should be happy that Ross is your son in law." She smiled. "Don't worry about me daddy, I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna survive this. And you will to. I am bringing new life into this world and I want you to be there to hold your granddaughter in your arms." She finished. Dr. Geller looked up at her and smiled a bit.
"It's a girl?" He asked touchingly. Rachel grinned and nodded.
"We just found out." She said sweetly. She then looked down and frowned. "Do you hate me?" Dr. Greene looked at her with tears in his eyes. He brushed away the loose hairs from her eyes.
"You're my baby girl." She started as he kissed the top of her head. "I could never hate you. The only emotion I can give you is love." Rachel and Dr. Greene embraced for a long long moment. Nothing existed. Maybe things could stay the same, maybe..
Rachel and her dad entered the reception Hall to see Ross and Chandler chatting while Monica cried to her parents. She ran over to Rachel.
"I am so so sorry! I never meant to-" She was cut off by Rachel holding a finger to her lips.
"Monica, it's okay. I love you. Thank you for always being my best friend." Monica smiled. Rachel and Monica embraced and sighed. After they let go, Ross ran up to Rachel.
"Hey." He said. He leaned down and lightly kissed her lips. She smiled and continued towards the microphone. Dr. Greene took his place by Sandra and Ross walked back to his seat. Rachel stood trembling on the stage.
"Hello everyone and thank you for being here on the happiest day of my life." The crowd awed and ohed. Rachel continued. "I want to let you all in on something. I know how it feels to have a secret. To always be watching, waiting for it to slip out. You walk around being paranoid wondering if the next person you see knows. I know how it feels to have a problem too. One that you feel no one in the whole world can help you with. I had both of those all in one. And I think it is now time for my to let you in on my secret, my problem. The reason I was married today was because I am pregnant." She paused for effect. And she got loads of effect.
There where the basic, "What a shame!"'s and "She's so Young!" Rachel smiled.
"But it's okay. I will be okay. I am married now to the best guy anyone could ask for, the father of my baby. I couldn't be happier. I hope you will always look at me the same though. I hope you won't forget that I am still the same Rachel Greene. I love you all, and thank you for being here on my day." she finished.
The room was quiet. It wasn't a normal quiet either. It was as if everyone was deciding weather of not to clap, boo, or cry. Everyone quietly whispered to one another and Rachel's heart sank. These people where going to abandon her. Before her heart could let her cry, she saw some one in the audience stand. It was Monica.
"We all love you Rachel, we understand." She said sweetly. After that, she began to clap, and the rest of the room joined in. People made their way towards Rachel and Ross, and Rachel just smiled sweetly at her best friend in the whole world. Monica smiled back.
Rachel and Ross made their way to the dance floor. The swerved to 'Unforgettable.' Rachel smiled and kissed her husband on the cheek. He smiled back at her. They had made it. They had everything off of their chest; the secret was out. Life would only get better now. And did they live MOSTLY happily ever after?
We hope so..
EPILOGUE
Ross finished high school and went to a local college, while Rachel got a small job until she was too pregnant to work, for she wasn't allowed at Lincoln high while pregnant. They saved up as much as they could and purchased a little house on the outskirts of town. It was only a two bedroom, but it was their own. The baby was born March 3, a week early, as if she couldn't wait to see the world. They named her Chastity Monica Geller, after her godmother, Monica. After Chastity was born, Monica went back to school and got her diploma. She is now attending night classes at a community college; she will graduate in the fashion business in April.
Monica and Chandler spend a couple months not speaking, but found that they still had an incredible amount of love for one another. Monica moved to Boston with him so that they could go to College in the same state. They are engaged to be married.
Phoebe and Joey eloped in Las Vegas on a college road trip. No one ever heard from them again.
Rachel never told her parents about Jill taking her birth control pills, as long as Jill promises to wait until she is at least 21 to have sex.
So, they DID live, happily ever after.
THE END
XOXOELIZABETHXOXO
FINALLY! IN the near future, I am planning on having a reunion Dares and Dreams script, taking place about 10 years after Rachel has the baby. We would bring Joey, Phoebe, Monica, Chandler, Rachel and Ross all back to the same little town where this all began. Tell me what u think, and what ideas you may have!
