Chapter 2

Once called Emma, this fiction has expanded and I would love feedback!

Rachel sat in her bed reading 'InStyle' listening to the rain outside. The Christmas decorations in the room consisted of a tiny fibre-optic tree and some mistletoe over the threshold. She heard the toilet flush and Ross come out of the bathroom so in a hurry she shut her magazine and ran over to the door. Ross walked in and almost bumped into Rachel.

"Oh, sorry Rach, I was just coming to check on you." Ross smiled.

"Oh, thanks, but uh, um.I was just on my way to the bathroom." She lied looking up above her. Ross looked too. "Would you look at that. We're under the mistletoe!"

"Yeah, we are." Ross replied. "I guess we should.um."

"Kiss.yeah." Rachel finished moving in. They kissed softly, then more passionately as Ross ran his hands up Rachel's spine and into her hair. As Rachel raised her hands a shriek was heard from behind her as Emma awoke. "Um.I guess I should.go to the bathroom."

"Yeah. I'll get her to sleep." Ross walked over to the cradle as Rachel walked out. When she came back in she stood at the doorway watching Ross singing Emma to sleep. Contentedly, she smiled and continued to watch.
