(Ross and Rachel's apartment) Ross and Rachel are relaxing, bodies entwined on the sofa watching the T.V, while Isabella plays with her toys at their feet.
The phone starts ringing; Rachel leans over to the other end of the couch and grabs the phone.
"Hello" she answers (It's Monica on the Line)
"Hey Rach, It's Monica, I'm a little bit stressed out here, I need your advice"
"Why, What's wrong," asked Rachel into the phone.
"Well, You've had a baby right, so you know what contractions feel like"
"Yeah, Of course, Crampy period pain type things, only 100 times more painful, why" Rachel answered.
"Well, I think I'm having them, I've been having cramps for about half an hou... Owww Oh my god, there's another one, what's happening?" said Monica, wincing in pain.
"Honey, I'm pretty sure your having Braxton Hicks Contractions, Do you remember that time when I was about 5 months along & Joey rushed me to hospital because I was having cramps?"
"Yeah, I do and the doctor thought Joey was the father," said Monica with a laugh, "Hang on, what am I laughing about, I could be in early labour here"
"I think that's what you'll be having right now, everyone has them at some stage plus you're only 7 months pregnant yet" said Rachel.
"Are you sure" asked Monica "Do you think I should wake Chandler up and get him to take me to the hospital?"
"I think that's all it is sweetie, but if it will make you feel better, Go and get checked out, Or maybe wait another half an hour and if they're still coming as strong then definitely go ok?" answered Rachel.
"All right, I'll do that then, Thanks Rachel, I knew you'd be able to help" said Monica.
"I'll talk to you later" said Rachel before hanging up the phone.
She turned to face Ross and saw him staring at her with a grin on his face.
"What are you looking at me like that for?" she asked.
"Have a look around Rachel, Can you see anything that's missing?" Ross asked.
"No... Everything looks fine..." she said looking around her in bewilderment. "What are you going on about?" she asked him angrily, before looking down at her feet, where Isabella was sitting about 10 minutes ago.
"Oh my god, Isabella.where's my daughter?" she screamed in a panic, jumping to her feet and looking around the room.
"Rachel, Relax honey" Ross said grabbing her around the waist. "She's right over there," he answered pointing over to the kitchen where Isabella was sitting proudly in the doorway with a grin on her face.
"How the hell did she get over there? Ross this isn't a very funny game, what are we playing, Hide the daughter so Mommy panics?" asked Rachel.
"Rachel, Our daughter just crawled for the first time," Ross said, proudly looking over at Isabella.
"Oh my god, She's crawling, what a big girl, Wait a second.. my little baby isn't a little baby anymore if she's crawling" said Rachel sobbing into Ross's shoulder.
"What are you crying about Rachel, Aren't you proud of her?" asked Ross.
"Of course I am, It's just that now she's crawling, She'll soon be walking and talking, then she'll be at school and before you know it, She'll be a teenager and dating and she won't be Mommy's little Angel anymore, Why can't she be a baby forever?"
Ross pulled her into a tight hug and gave her a kiss.
"It's gonna be fine sweetie, We have so many more milestones to cover before that happens, First steps, first words etc, Bella's 8 months old now right, So you have at least 10 more years until you can't call her Mommy's little angel without her turning around and telling you you're embarrassing her in front on her friends" said Ross.
"I suppose you're right," said Rachel as Ross grabbed her a tissue to wipe her tears.
Rachel got down on her knees about 10 feet away from Isabella
"Come here Angel, Come give Mommy a cuddle" she called with her arms out.
And Isabella crawled her way over to her mommy and climbed into her arms. It was a beautiful sight as Rachel wrapped her arms around her and kissed her fuzzy head.
"Mommy's very proud of you sweetie," Rachel said, now with a smile on her face as Ross stood and watched from the couch.
Isabella answered by saying very clearly "Momma"
Rachel jumped up and started screaming, turning to Ross who had a stunned look on his face.
"DID YOU HEAR THAT? DID YOU HEAR WHAT SHE JUST SAID?" she screamed jumping up and down with Bella in her arms.
"I heard it, I heard it, She said Momma" Ross said, grabbing hold of Rachel and joining her in jumping up and down.
They stopped out of breath and Rachel sat down on the couch with the baby on her knee.
"Say it again Isabella.Momma, This is Momma right here," she said pointing at herself
Isabella said it again "Momma".
"You're so clever, Mommy loves you, Now who's this" said Rachel pointing at Ross. "Say.Dadda" Isabella pointed at Ross and said "Momma"
Rachel burst out laughing and looked at Ross. He got Isabella on his lap and said "Say Dadda Isabella, This is Dadda, That's Momma over there"
Again she pointed at him and said "Momma".
Ross started laughing.
"Oh well, I can deal with being called Momma until the novelty wears off" he said, "She's just too beautiful" he said as her lifted her into the air, Bella giggling all the way.
"I know, She's our beautiful Little Weirdo," answered Rachel looking at Ross and Isabella happily.
(Later that night)
(New York City General Hospital)
Monica and Chandler decided to go to the doctors after Monica continued having cramps. They are still waiting to be seen by a doctor.
"Honey, I'm sure that Rachel is right, they're just Braxton Hicks contractions, completely harmless and normal," Chandler said holding onto Monica's hand.
"Hey Chandler, How about you shut up before I contract you Ok? Until you have had one of these things, you have no opinion," retorted Monica angrily.
"Ok, Ok I'm just saying that there is probably nothing to worry about baby wise, that they aren't going to be born prematurely, but I'll shut up now before you "contract" me, Although I think you might be doing this labour thing alone because you're already being mean to me and your not even in labour yet so imagine how you're going to be when you're having REAL contractions" replied Chandler with a smug look on his face.
"Alright, I'm sorry honey, but these Braxton thingy's really hurt Ok," replied Monica, sucking up to Chandler. "Please don't leave me," she said as she grabbed him in a hug.
Just then the receptionist called their names. "Mr and Mrs Bing, The doctor will see you now"
They stood up and Chandler gave Monica a kiss.
"I was only joking before you know," he said as they entered the exam room.
(Examination Room)
The doctor has just performed an ultrasound and is rubbing the goo off Monica's bulging stomach.
"Well everything looked great on the ultrasound Mr and Mrs Bing, No signs of early labour and the babies are all growing perfect," said the Doctor.
"That's great news, I was worried I was going into early labour" said Monica.
"What you were experiencing were Braxton Hicks contractions, perfectly normal and harmless, most pregnant women experience them" he replied.
"See, another male who thinks he knows everything, Let me tell you, until you have experienced one of these, You can't say they are harmless, These Braxton Hicks hurt like a bitch" snapped Monica angrily looking at Chandler and the Doctor
"I didn't say anything," Chandler said looking at his feet.
"Well that'll be all for now, I will see you in about 4 weeks Monica when you begin your weekly visits and If you have any questions or worries, Don't ever hesitate to call" said the Dr as Monica and Chandler prepared to leave.
"Thanks a Lot Dr" they said as they exited the room.
Once they reached the waiting room Monica snapped.
"I'll tell you what, If I have one more male tell me that Braxton Hicks are harmless, I'm going to reach down their pants and grab them soo hard, they'll feel like they are experiencing a contraction, the day I see a male in labour, I'm not gonna have any sympathy, I'm going to be laughing all the way and saying SUCKER" she said.
"Ok, Firstly, that will never happen and secondly I'll remind Joey and Ross and any other male that we know to keep away from you," said Chandler. "You're so angry when you are pregnant"
(The next day at Central Perk)
The gang is there minus Phoebe and Joey. Ross and Rachel are sitting on the couch with Isabella sleeping in Rachel's arms and Monica and Chandler are in the armchairs.
"I'm serious, Guys have no idea what it's like to be pregnant and have to go through labour and childbirth" said Monica.
"Tell me about it" Rachel replied. "If I had to tell Ross once during labour to shut up with all the pep talks coz he didn't know what he was going on about, I had to tell him a million times, They have no idea"
"Well, Do you women ever think about what we have to put up with during childbirth?" asked Ross.
"Oh my god, Like what" said Monica
"Well we have to put up with you cursing at us because "WE" did this to you, you didn't have to have sex with us you know, we have to have our hands broken from you squeezing them so hard, We have you women telling us how much you hate us and blah blah blah, It's hell for us too you know" said Ross.
"Oh ok then, Well Ross you try squeezing something the size of a watermelon out of an opening the size of a lemon, and see how you react, You'd be screaming and cursing too mister" retorted Rachel.
"Yeah, I suppose your right" Chandler replied.
"But it's all worth it in the end, All the screaming and cursing and broken bones because look what we have for the rest of our life" said Ross staring down at his sleeping daughter.
"I know, it will be worth it," said Chandler rubbing Monica's stomach.
"You guys are so sweet," said Monica and Rachel at the same time kissing their respective partners, Rachel carefully so she doesn't wake up Isabella.
Just then Phoebe and Joey entered the coffee house, both looking worried.
"Well, the time has come," said Phoebe.
"Time for what sweetie" asked Rachel.
"We're going to the doctors to get over selves checked," said Joey.
"Because it's been ages and we still aren't pregnant" said Phoebe. "So Joey's getting his little guys checked out and I'm having a check up as well".
"We better go Pheebs," said Joey "It's nearly 1".
"Good Luck Guys" said Monica, Chandler, Rachel and Ross as they left Central Perk.
"I feel really bad for them" said Monica "Here we are, you guys with Isabella and me having triplets and they can't pregnant".
"I know, it can't be easy for them seeing us all happy families with our babies" said Chandler.
"I think every things going to be fine," said Rachel "I have a good feeling about Phoebe and Joey".
"Let's hope so, they both really want this" said Ross as Isabella awoke in Rachel's arms.
She opened her eyes and looked at her mommy and said "Momma".
"Momma's here Sweetie" said Rachel planting a kiss on her forehead.
"Time's flying, Isn't it, I can't believe Bella's 8 months old, I'm like 7 months pregnant, It seems like yesterday Chandler and I got married and Rachel announced she was pregnant, Then Bella was born and you guys got engaged" said Monica.
"Yeah" said Chandler "How many months till the big day?"
"7 months" said Ross "7 months till I marry the girl of my dreams"
"And I can't wait" said Rachel hugging Ross tightly. "It's going to be one of the best days of my life, tying with Isabella being born and you proposing to me". "It will be here before you know it," said Monica. "And come to think of it so will these Lil guys" she said hugging her stomach.
"It's amazing how things work out isn't it?" said Chandler. "Monica and Chandler, Ross and Rachel, Phoebe and Joey, Who would of thought".
"Yeah, who would of thought?" said Rachel and Ross dreamily.
(Ross and Rachel's apartment) Ross and Rachel are relaxing, bodies entwined on the sofa watching the T.V, while Isabella plays with her toys at their feet.
