~For Love of Another Man~ Chapter 12

As the days went by, Ross hung out often with the gang, but he couldn't get his mind of Rachel. What had happened? Had he done something bad to her? Well...while Ross was trying not to think of something bad, Rachel realised, blindly, that Chris had just gone through a strange phase. She actually was happy. She knew she was doing a bad thing...leaving Ross thinking she was going back to him...but she couldn't help it...something was telling her to stay.

[I know y'all are hating me already...but please, just read on!!]

(we fade to Rachel/ Chris apartment. We see Rachel sitting on her couch, and nobody else is home. One week had gone by since she had run back to Chris...and she was very confused. She had never expected this to happen...she thought she loved Ross...but when ever she looked at Chris-the man she had been with for ten years...well, she didn't know what to do. It was 6:00 at night, and Chris was still at work. She sat there for a few more minutes, pondering over what to do. Suddenly the phone rang. She slowly picks it up...)

Rachel: Hello?

Chris's voice: Hello? Rachel! Hey, it's me.

Rachel: Hey...honey. (she could hardly get the word out, and she right away thought why)

Chris: Hi...uumm, I've got this emergency meeting thing...and I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to be late....okay?

Rachel: Oh...yeah...sure. (* there he goes again * she thought * this is the same way it started before... * she began to drift off into her own world wondering what had made her give him a second chance)

Chris: Bye sweetie...see you later tonight...(pause) I love you...okay?

Rachel: Bye. (and without saying anything else, she hung up the phone.) (next part in her thoughts) When he said that, she got pretty freaked out. She didn't know why...I guess it just startled her because she hadn't heard him say that for such a long time...hell, the last person who had said that to her.....(pause) was...Ross. (out loud, quietly) Ross. ( a painful feeling ran through her and tears began welling up in her eyes.)

(we fade out)

(we cut to New York and see Ross walking into Central Perk where we see Monica and Chandler sitting closely together on the couch, hand in hand.)

Ross: Hiiiii...

Chandler: Hey Ross...what's up man?

Monica: Yeah...you've been out of it for like a week now...what's wrong?

(Ross sighs)

Ross: Nothing...

Monica: Oh come on Ross...we KNOW something is wrong...we were just tlaking about it...what's up??

(Ross stared at their concerned faces and then sighed again. He went and sat down beside them and sighed yet again)

Ross: Me and Rachel are together.

(it took a while for Monica and Chandler to take it in but after a few seconds they were congratulating Ross already)

ross: It's not good! You see, she went back to go get a divorce with her husband...and well...she's not back yet...I'm just so worried since...uh...she might have chosen him?

Monica: Oh no Ross...come on...she wouldn't...

Chandler: How'd you get together anyway? Did it suddenly just happen?

Ross: She told me that she loved me.

Monica: (confused) Woldn't she still have been married?

Ross: uuuh...she married Chris more to forget her past...which meant me...and well...she never did forget it...(smiles a bit)

Monica: Are you saying that for ten whole-

(Ross nods)

Chandler: that is just so touching!

(Ross and Monica stare at him weirdly)

Monica: touching?

Chandler: Shuuutt upp...(pats Ross on the shoulder) Dont worry man...she wont choose him.

Ross: (nods) Anyway...where's the kid?

Chandler: Joey. He like kidnapped her...he came early in the morning and started banging on our door saying that he was taking Michi "out"

(Ross shakes his head laughing)

Monica: Wonder where he "took" her...

(they laugh and we fade out)

~~

(time lapse: a few hours. We go To Rachel again. We see her lying on the couch...the room is all dark)

Rachel: (in her thoughts) Where the hell is he...oh God...it's already starting...[after a few seconds she found herself thinking of Ross again...and the image of his face wouldn't leave]

[the phone rings]

Rachel: (muttering out loud) If that is him...I am not taking ANY crap! [picks up the phone] helllooo?

Man's voice: Hello? Rachel?

Rachel: yeah..who's-ROSS?!

Ross: yeah...what's up?? How are you?!

Rachel: I'm doing fine...

Ross: Sorry for calling so late...I was just wondering...

Rachel: I'm fine.

Ross: Uh...okay...sorry...

Rachel: Doesn't matter...

Ross: When are you coming back?

Rachel: (gets a sad look) I-uh...I'm not sure...OH...uh, got to go...sorry...bye!

Ross: Okay...bye...(decides to try it) love you?

Rachel: Love you too...bye! (hangs up the phone and then realises what she just said) (quitely to herself) did I--? [with that the knew what the answer was. She could barely get the word "honey" out when she talked to Chris...and without hesitation she just told Ross that she loved him...with that, she quickly got up and ran into one of the rooms)

~we fade out~

[I was GOING to end it there...but then I decided to be nice...since I left you all off badly before! Heehehehee!]

(we fade to C&M's hotel room and we see them sitting on the bed just talking)

Chandler: Hey Mon...I have to ask you a question...

Monica: Okay! What's up?

Chandler: Are we really serious? I mean, I've been thinking and...it doesn't really seem like it.

Monica: Chandler, what's a relationship to you? Always kissing, getting together and having a baby?

(Chandler opens his mouth and closes it again, not really knowing how to respond)

Monica: Hhmm...I didn't think so. (pause) Chandler, we dont need to do all those things to be come a couple...hell, that's what happened to me and Anthony, and look what happened there! Weell...except the baby part...(smiles sadly) Get it?

Chandler: Weell...that wasn't exactly my question...but okay.

Monica: Oh...what did you REALLY want to ask me?

Chandler: I-uh...uumm...

Monica: Spit it out...!

Chandler: Will you be Michi's mother?

(fades out)

(fades back in)

Monica: What?!

Chandler: Weelll...I noticed how eager Michi was to call you MOMMY...and she barely knew we were an 'item' at that time...and well-

Monica: (breaks him off) Yes.

Chandler: (looks up at her) What?

Monica: I said yes. I mean, Chandler, if this wasn't you asking me this, I definitely would have said no...but when I think about it...and how we would be a family if I say yes, it all seems so right, and I'm not scared to think of it. I think it would be amazing to have a family with you...

Chandler: really?

Monica: Yes Chandler...especially if the two people in that family are you and Michi.

[with that, they finally shared their first TRUE kiss...and we fade out after a while, as they fall backwards on the bed...]
