(3 days later, Monica and Chandler are arriving home with the triplets)
Phoebe, Joey, Ross and Rachel have arrived at their apartment and set up a surprise mini party to celebrate the birth of the Triplets and the arrival of Baby Dylan who was sleeping on his mat on the floor being watched closely by Phoebe who had immediately turned the doting mother. Dylan was wearing a tiny Romper Suit that said NY KNICKS RULE on it that his daddy bought for him. Isabella is sleeping in her playpen in Monica and Chandler's bedroom.
Joey and Rachel were hanging up 2 banners, one IT'S A GIRL and one IT'S A BOY, Under the strict guidance of Ross.
"Up to the left a little" said Ross. "No, Back down a tiny bit" "Rachel, Do you not understand the words a tiny bit? Meaning move it just an inch"
Rachel, who was fuming by now, dropped the banner on the floor and stomped over to Ross.
"Ross!!" she said angrily.
"Yes Honey" he replied, smiling sweetly.
"Aarghhh" she said frustrated. "I'm gonna scream in a second"
"Now why on earth would you do that?" asked Ross
"That's right Ross, You can see I'm ready to punch you in the head but you keep asking questions, You're cruising for a bruising I'll tell ya" said Rachel.
"That time of the month is it Sweetie?" said Ross, quickly ducking out of the way as Rachel took a swing. She managed to clock him over the head once before storming over to sit next to Phoebe.
"Man, Is she a handful," said Joey.
"I know, like I told Chandler, It's 100 times worse when it's that time of the month" replied Ross.
(Phoebe and Rachel sitting on the couch)
"He frustrates me so much sometimes" said Rachel to Phoebe.
"I know, Joey's the same sometimes, but I still love him" said Pheeb's.
"Oh I still love Ross, it's just sometimes, if it weren't for Isabella, I think I might have killed him by now" replied Rachel.
Phoebe began to laugh and Dylan immediately woke up and began to cry.
"Aww Phoebe, He is so amazing," said Rachel "Can I?"
"Sure, I'll just grab his bottle," said Pheeb's, standing up and heading for the kitchen.
"Hey Dylan, Why so grumpy today Mister?" said Rachel, rocking him in her arms.
Phoebe returned with the bottle and began to feed him.
"I can't believe I'm a mother," she said. "I have this whole tiny little person now who I'm responsible for, I've never had that type of responsibility before except for when I had those little gerbils"
"Yeah, this is a whole lot different to gerbils though Phoebe" said Rachel.
"I know that" Phoebe replied. "Joey's been so great with him, Last night Dylan woke up at 3 am and wanted a feed and I went to get up but Joey just pushed me back down and went and fed him and rocked him back to sleep"
"Is this the same Joey Tribbiani ho normally wakes at lunchtime and if he does any earlier, falls asleep on the toilet?" asked Rachel.
"I know, I couldn't believe it myself," said Phoebe.
Joey walked over from where he was setting up the banner and sat next to Phoebe on the couch.
"How's my little man?" he said, putting his arms out for Dylan.
"He's great, just needs his daddy to burp him then change his nappy and it'll be all good," said Phoebe.
"No Problemo" said Joey, expertly lifting Dylan up onto his shoulder and rubbing his back.
Rachel raised her eyebrows and looked at Phoebe as if to say "WOW" before hearing the front door open.
She jumped up and yelled "Surprise".
Monica and Chandler were standing at the door holding the babies in their capsules.
"Oh you guys" said Monica "You didn't have to do this"
"We know but we wanted to" said Phoebe, standing up and walking over to kiss Monica on the cheek "Welcome home Mon"
Monica set Lily and Emma's capsules on the floor and gave Ross, Rachel and Phoebe a hug. Chandler put Riley's capsule down and headed into the Nursery to put the bags, balloons, cards etc in there.
"Thanks Pheeb's. It feels so good to be home," said Monica.
"How are you feeling Mon?" asked Rachel.
"Oh, I'm fine now, I didn't realise what breastfeeding did to you though, my boobs have never been this sore" said Monica.
"I know, mine were bad enough when I first started feeding Bella but you've got three babies hanging off your boobs, you poor thing" said Rachel.
"Now where's this Nephew off mine that I have yet to meet?" said Monica.
"He's right here," said Joey standing up and walking over to Monica.
He passed Dylan to Monica who immediately got all misty eyed.
"Pheeb's, Joey he's beautiful" said Monica. Dylan just nestled into the crook of Monica's arm and was soon sound asleep again. "He seems like such a contented baby"
"He is, He's great," said Phoebe "But Let's have a look at these 3 little Baby Bings over here"
Monica put Dylan back down on his mat and walked with Phoebe over to where the capsules were and they looked inside.
"Ok, Well you're awake so I'm gonna hold you first" said Phoebe, as she picked Lily out of her capsule. She looked at the bracelet around her wrist "Well I guess I'm holding Lily then"
"Honey, You've just got out of the hospital and the doctor prescribed rest for you so sit your butt on that couch and I will make you a cup of tea ok?" said Chandler, the mother hen.
"OK, thanks Sweetie," said Monica, picking Riley up and settling down on the couch.
"My god, it's like a day care centre around here now" said Ross as he sat down on the couch next to Rachel.
"Yep, Well we're all parents now, this is how it's gonna be from now on" said Chandler. "Isn't it great?"
"It sounds so grown up, we're all parents with babies. I'm still a baby," said Joey.
"That's true," said Ross "But now that you have a baby you'll find yourself growing up a bit more everyday"
"That's what you say, we've had a baby for 9 months now and you haven't grown up yet" said Rachel with a smirk on her face.
"God Rachel, What is up your problem today?" snapped Ross.
"My Problem? I don't have a problem. Do you?" Rachel snapped back.
"Umm I don't know. You've just been nothing but a bitch to me today. I know you've got PMS but no need to take it out on me and spoil Monica and Chandler's special day," said Ross.
"Boy are you gonna regret saying that twice in the one day Ross Geller" Rachel said as she jumped off the couch and stormed into the room where Isabella was sleeping.
"My god, what is wrong with her?" asked Phoebe.
"I have no idea, ever since she stepped out of bed this morning she's been acting like a total bitch to me. She was in the bathroom for like half an hour this morning so I knocked on the door gently and asked her to please hurry up because I needed to get in and she bit my head off" said Ross "I don't know what to do with her"
"I think I know what it is," said Monica.
"What?" said Chandler
"I think Rachel's going a bit crazy because we are all here with our new babies and she wants another so badly, this just isn't making it any better for her" said Monica.
"Why would she feel that way?" asked Joey "She does know her Baby is sleeping in the next room doesn't she?"
"Isabella's going to be a little toddler soon, No longer Rachel's little Bubby" said Monica.
"My god, She'll be turning 1 not 20" said Joey.
"Well, I just think that's what the problem is" aid Monica.
"I'm gonna go talk to her" said Ross "I'll be back in a second and I call shotgun burping one of the triplets ok??"
"I'll keep Emma reserved for you ok" replied Monica with a laugh.
(Guest Room)
Ross enters the room to see Rachel lying on the bed with a sleeping Isabella in her arms, stroking her sweet little face. He climbed on the bed next to Rachel and wrapped his arms around her and Bella.
As soon as she felt his touch, Rachel began sobbing in his arms.
"Rachel, Talk to me Honey," said Ross. "Tell me what's wrong"
"No Ross, Trust me you won't want to know what's wrong with me," said Rachel. "Why, what is it? Are you sick?" asked Ross
No answer from Rachel, She just continued to sob in his arms.
"Rachel I'm going crazy right now, just tell me what it is. Is it because of what I said when we were hanging up the banners? Because I said you were being a bitch? Because if it is you know I didn't mean any of those things"
"No, I can't tell you this right now because you're not gonna like it" said Rachel, nearly hysterical in tears by now.
Suddenly Isabella woke up and took one look at her mommy crying and started crying herself.
"Mommy's sorry baby, I didn't mean to wake you up," said Rachel, holding Isabella close.
"Rach, I'm serious. Either you tell me right now or I walk out of this room, you are making me sick with worry" said Ross. "I can't stand to see you like this""
(Cut to the living room)
"What the hell is going on in there?" asked Phoebe.
"I have no idea but I kinda need to get into that room. The babies diapers are still in the cupboard and I'm smelling something pretty stinky over here" said Monica, holding Lily up to Chandler's face. "Smell that honey? That's what you're gonna be changing in a minute"
"Get it away from me" said Chandler "You're the Mommy, You do the pooey diapers"
"Dude, Do not say that?" said Joey "I said that last night when Dylan had one of those and Phoebe threatened me with no more sex unless I changed him"
Chandler looks horrified, Monica just looks interested.
"Really Pheeb's? Because that's a pretty good idea," said Monica "Not that I'm going to be in the mood for a while but still"
"Yes I did, No boyfriend of mine is going to tell me that he's not changing the pooey diapers. This parenting thing is a shared job," said Phoebe.
"OK, OK I'll do it," said Chandler "And I'll just clarify that I'm doing this because I love my daughter, not because of the sex thing"
"Yeah. Right" said Monica, standing up and putting Lily in his arms. "She's all yours Mister"
(Cut back to Monica and Chandler's Room)
"Honey, Just tell me what's wrong" said Ross.
Rachel took a deep breath in and sat Isabella in the middle of the bed. She got up as if to walk out the room then turned around suddenly.
"Ross, I'm pregnant," she said, in a whisper.
"What?" said Ross, shocked.
"I'm Pregnant. Having a baby. Knocked Up," said Rachel.
"Yeah I know what pregnant means Rach" said Ross.
He sat down on the bed with a stunned look on his face.
"I can't believe it. After all that we've been through on this subject, after deciding that we're not going to have another baby yet, you tell me you're pregnant" said Ross. "How the hell did this happen, we've been using contraceptives. Condoms and you're supposed to be on the pill"
"Oh I'm supposed to be on the pill. What the hell is that supposed to mean? Do you think that I stopped taking my pill so I would get pregnant? I got pregnant on the sly, is that what you think?" said Rachel angrily.
"I don't know what I think. We used condoms for Christs sake"
"I can't believe you're even going there Ross. Do you see that Little Girl lying there? Your Daughter. We used a condom then and look what we got. So don't you even dare try and pin this shit on me, I wasn't prepared for this either, I know what we decided and I was standing by that"
"Well we know that condom's don't work for us, and now it seems apparent the pill doesn't work either," said Ross. "I don't know how that one works, the pill is supposed to be like 99% effective unless it's screwed up by whoever is taking it".
"Ross, You've gone to far. I cannot believe that you even think that I would go behind your back and get myself pregnant" said Rachel.
Tears began to slide down her face again, she couldn't believe it. The man she loves is accusing her of getting pregnant on the sly.
"Well Rach, I don't know what to think. I mean, you wanted another baby so bad and we decided against it for perfectly logical reason and now here you are Pregnant, 6 months before our wedding"
"You're a Bastard Ross, an absolute bastard. I can't believe I even thought that this/us would work again. It's obvious you are to absorbed in your own little world thinking about how much we can't afford this baby to even see how I am feeling and to begin love this child. You're too selfish," said Rachel picking up Isabella and yanking open the door to the bedroom.
The Gang, All still in the same spot as before were staring in disbelief at what unfolding before them
"You're leaving? We haven't even discussed this and you're leaving?" said Ross.
"That's right, I'm leaving. You don't deserve me and after what you just said about me before you should know we are OVER. The wedding is off and I will raise your TWO kids by myself" said Rachel.
She ran out past everyone else in tears and left the apartment.
"Two kids? What the hell just happened?" asked Monica. "What did you say to her?"
"Oh my god" said Ross. He sat down on the couch with his head in his hands. "I'm such an idiot. I can't believe what I just did"
"What happened Ross?" said Phoebe, rubbing Ross's back.
"Rachel just told me she's pregnant and I accused her of not taking her pill and of getting pregnant on purpose. I've just ruined my relationship with the love of my life and my daughter because I let my mouth go in the heat of the moment," said Ross.
He began sobbing onto Monica's shoulder.
(Ross and Rachel's Apartment)
Rachel had arrived home at her and Ross's apartment. She sat Isabella down in her playpen and sat on the couch. She was nearly hyperventilating from all the crying. She took some deep, deep breaths and tried to compose herself. It didn't work and she soon found herself crying like a baby again.
Millions of thoughts were running through her mind. Ross, the man she trusted most in the world just accused her of getting pregnant on purpose. Of going behind his back just to get what she wanted. And now after a war of words, she was a single mother of two kids.
(Monica and Chandler's Apartment)
"Ross, You have to go and talk to her," said Phoebe.
"I agree Ross, She's probably at home feeling the exact same way that you are feeling right now" said Monica comfortingly.
"You think? I think Rachel's probably at home packing her and Isabella's stuff together and leaving me like she said before" said Ross "It's over, I've screwed up the most important thing in my life"
"I can't believe she's pregnant again," said Joey.
"I couldn't believe it either, we've had this discussion so many times over and we decided that we were definitely not going to have another baby until after the wedding. We just can't afford it plus we were using 2 contraceptives. I just didn't understand how it happened and as usual I blamed the first person in front of me," said Ross. "I can't believe I even accused her of getting pregnant on purpose, She is the one person in the world that I trust the most and I know that she would never do anything like that"
"Accident's happen Ross, You should know that after what happened and how Isabella was conceived" said Chandler
"Rachel would never do anything like that on purpose, She's told me time and time again about how she was going to respect what you wanted and wait until after the wedding to get pregnant again" said Phoebe "You can be such an ass sometimes Ross"
"I know Ok, I don't need you telling me that. What I need to do is go home and sort things out with Rachel before she does something drastic like move out and take my baby with her".
"Well go then," said Joey "Move it"
"Good Luck Man" said Chandler as Ross left the apartment.
"My brother is so stupid sometimes," said Monica "I can't believe he would accuse Rachel like that. He's going to be extremely lucky if Rachel is even at home and hasn't gone to her mom's or something"
"So it sounds like there's going to be another new addition to the family then" said Pheeb's.
"I know, we need to stop having babies for awhile' said Chandler. "That's your fault Monica, You had to have triplets and bring the numbers up didn't ya?"
"Yeah, as much your fault as it was mine" said Monica "And I think it's diaper time for you again, I'm smelling something disgusting over here"
"God, Let it be over," said Chandler as he got up and went into the Nursery to change Emma's diaper.
(Cut back to Ross and Rachel's apartment)
Rachel is still lying on the bed with her head resting on her pillow, which is saturated from her tears. Isabella begins crying in the background.
"Momma"
Rachel pulled herself off the bed wearily and walked over to the playpen.
"Hey there Princess" she said, picking her up out of the playpen. "Do you want your night time bottle now?"
"Dada" said Isabella, looking around the room.
"You want your Daddy? Well Daddy's in a bit of trouble right now with Mommy so we'll see what happens with that ok" said Rachel, walking through to the kitchen and warming up her bottle.
They made their way back through to the bedroom and Rachel lay back down on the bed with Isabella beside her who was now practicing holding her bottle like a big girl.
They both drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile Ross entered the apartment quietly. In his hand he had 3 bunches of Lilies and a Bloomingdale's bag.
He poked his head around the door of the bedroom and say Rachel and Isabella on the bed sound asleep. He walked in and picked Isabella up carefully and put her in the Nursery. Rachel stirred but didn't wake up. Ross got to work.
(2 hours later)
Rachel opened her eyes, which were red and puffy from crying. She sat up and looked around the dark room, She didn't remember shutting the blinds or anything and now she couldn't even see it was so dark. She went to reach over and turn on the lamp when a single candle was lit in the corner of the room.
Slowly, as more candles were lit around the room and her eyes adjusted to the lights, She saw the bed was spread with Lilies and Ross was walking around the room lighting the candles.
"Ross, What are you doing?" said Rachel "I'm really not in the mood to even talk to you right now so I think you should just leave."
"No I won't leave," said Ross. "I want to talk to you"
"Well, maybe I should just walk out of this room right now because I am still very angry at you and I don't think I should even talk because I may say more things that I'll regret"
"Rachel, please just hear me out" said Ross as he sat on the bed and went to put his arm around Rachel who immediately stiffened and moved away.
"Ross." said Rachel "Just don't touch me"
"Ok, Ok" said Ross. "First of all I just want to tell you how sorry I am for accusing you of getting pregnant on purpose, I know that you would never do anything like that and I know of course that accident's do happen" Rachel sat staring at the wall not responding.
"Rachel, I am so, so sorry for what I said, You know as well as I do that I just shoot my mouth off without thinking sometimes. I was freaked out that we were going to be having another baby and I didn't know what to think"
"There's no need to be freaked out Ross, like I said before we're over and you won't need to be around this baby" said Rachel.
"No, Rachel don't say that," said Ross, beginning to cry. "Please don't tell me that you're leaving me and taking my children with you just because I said a few wrong things in the heat of the moment"
"You don't want this baby Ross. All you can think about is how we can't afford it, because it's so close to the wedding etc. If you had even taken a moment to think about how I'm feeling in all of this."
"I know, I didn't think of your feelings and I'm sorry, I'm a selfish bastard and I admit that, but I'm here now and I'm apologizing and I hope that you will accept it" said Ross grabbing Rachel's hand "Because Rach, I can't imagine my life without you and Isabella in it, I love you so much, you both mean the world to me and I don't know what I'll do if you walk out of here tonight"
"Don't talk stupid Ross. You're not going to do anything," said Rachel.
Her tears began to flow freely again as she began talking.
"That really hurt me what you said to me today Ross, It hurt me like you wouldn't believe. To hear form you, the one person that I trust the most in the whole world, that you think I've been lying and got my self pregnant on purpose behind your back. It ripped my heart out, it really did," said Rachel.
"I didn't mean what I said. These things happen. Pregnancy's happen and I don't want you to think that I don't trust you because I do and I know that you didn't do this on purpose, I don't know how many times I have to say sorry but I'll say it, I'll do anything you want me to do, just to get you to say you forgive me"
He leaned over and kissed Rachel tenderly on the lips before reaching behind him and pulled out the Bloomingdale's bag.
"What's that?" said Rachel.
"It's something I picked up before," said Ross.
He pulled out the bag two T-shirts, One larger pink one for Isabella and a tiny lemon one for the new baby. They both said MY DADDY LOVES ME.
"I'm ok with this new baby Rachel. I really am. I'm prepared to go through everything again and contrary to what you may believe I do want this baby. I love it more then ever and I've only known about it for half a day" said Ross. He leaned down and kissed Rachel's stomach.
"Please, just tell me that you forgive me," said Ross.
"I'm still not convinced that you are ready for this again" said Rachel " I don't want to be hearing all the cons involved with having another baby, I want to be hearing all the pro's. All this baby needs is love Ross"
"No con's, I promise" said Ross "I love you so much Rachel, Just tell me you forgive me?"
Rachel leaned over and kissed him passionately on the lips, tears stained her cheeks and Ross wiped them away gently.
"Are we ok?" said Ross, hesitant to hear the answer.
"We're good," said Rachel "Now kiss me again and tell me how much you love me"
Ross pushed her down on the bed and kissed her everywhere.
"I love you Rachel Green," said Ross. "So, we're having a baby?"
"We are having a baby. Are you sure you're ready for this?"
"I'm so ready," said Ross, returning back to kissing her.
They began making out until Ross suddenly jumped off the bed saying "Wait!!"
"What. Ross don't tell me that you've changed your mind or anything because I'll heave my body off this bed and kick your ass.." said Rachel as she sat up.
"Give me your ring," said Ross with his hand out towards Rachel.
"Why?" said Rachel
"You'll see now just give it to me" said Ross.
Rachel pulled her engagement ring off her finger and gave it to Ross.
Ross grabbed Rachel's hand and pulled her into a standing position in front of the bed before getting down on one knee.
"What are you doing?" said Rachel.
"Ssshh" said Ross.
"Rachel Green, I love you more then anything in this world. You are my everything. Will you marry me?"
"If I remember correctly, you asked me to marry you 9 months ago and I think..I'm pretty sure I said yes then," said Rachel.
"Yes you did. But you just told me before that the wedding is off therefore I have to propose to you again if I want you to be my wife" said Ross. "Now for the 2nd time, Rachel Green, Will you do my the greatest honour of becoming my wife?"
"OK, I get you now. Of course I will," said Rachel. Ross slipped the ring back on her finger. He stood up and kissed her firmly on the lips.
"I love you too Ross," said Rachel "And you're lucky you proposed to me again or I would have had to take my wedding dress back and I love it too much to do that" said Rachel.
They both burst out laughing. Ross picked Rachel up in his arms and laid her back on the bed, spread with Lily petals where they began their loving relationship again.
Phoebe, Joey, Ross and Rachel have arrived at their apartment and set up a surprise mini party to celebrate the birth of the Triplets and the arrival of Baby Dylan who was sleeping on his mat on the floor being watched closely by Phoebe who had immediately turned the doting mother. Dylan was wearing a tiny Romper Suit that said NY KNICKS RULE on it that his daddy bought for him. Isabella is sleeping in her playpen in Monica and Chandler's bedroom.

"That's right Ross, You can see I'm ready to punch you in the head but you keep asking questions, You're cruising for a bruising I'll tell ya" said Rachel.
"That time of the month is it Sweetie?" said Ross, quickly ducking out of the way as Rachel took a swing. She managed to clock him over the head once before storming over to sit next to Phoebe.
"Man, Is she a handful," said Joey.
"I know, like I told Chandler, It's 100 times worse when it's that time of the month" replied Ross.
(Phoebe and Rachel sitting on the couch)
"He frustrates me so much sometimes" said Rachel to Phoebe.
"I know, Joey's the same sometimes, but I still love him" said Pheeb's.
"Oh I still love Ross, it's just sometimes, if it weren't for Isabella, I think I might have killed him by now" replied Rachel.
Phoebe began to laugh and Dylan immediately woke up and began to cry.
"Aww Phoebe, He is so amazing," said Rachel "Can I?"
"Sure, I'll just grab his bottle," said Pheeb's, standing up and heading for the kitchen.
"Hey Dylan, Why so grumpy today Mister?" said Rachel, rocking him in her arms.
Phoebe returned with the bottle and began to feed him.
"I can't believe I'm a mother," she said. "I have this whole tiny little person now who I'm responsible for, I've never had that type of responsibility before except for when I had those little gerbils"

"He's great, just needs his daddy to burp him then change his nappy and it'll be all good," said Phoebe.
"No Problemo" said Joey, expertly lifting Dylan up onto his shoulder and rubbing his back.
Rachel raised her eyebrows and looked at Phoebe as if to say "WOW" before hearing the front door open.
She jumped up and yelled "Surprise".
Monica and Chandler were standing at the door holding the babies in their capsules.
"Oh you guys" said Monica "You didn't have to do this"
"We know but we wanted to" said Phoebe, standing up and walking over to kiss Monica on the cheek "Welcome home Mon"
Monica set Lily and Emma's capsules on the floor and gave Ross, Rachel and Phoebe a hug. Chandler put Riley's capsule down and headed into the Nursery to put the bags, balloons, cards etc in there.
"Thanks Pheeb's. It feels so good to be home," said Monica.
"How are you feeling Mon?" asked Rachel.
"Oh, I'm fine now, I didn't realise what breastfeeding did to you though, my boobs have never been this sore" said Monica.

"He's right here," said Joey standing up and walking over to Monica.
He passed Dylan to Monica who immediately got all misty eyed.
"Pheeb's, Joey he's beautiful" said Monica. Dylan just nestled into the crook of Monica's arm and was soon sound asleep again. "He seems like such a contented baby"
"He is, He's great," said Phoebe "But Let's have a look at these 3 little Baby Bings over here"
Monica put Dylan back down on his mat and walked with Phoebe over to where the capsules were and they looked inside.
"Ok, Well you're awake so I'm gonna hold you first" said Phoebe, as she picked Lily out of her capsule. She looked at the bracelet around her wrist "Well I guess I'm holding Lily then"
"Honey, You've just got out of the hospital and the doctor prescribed rest for you so sit your butt on that couch and I will make you a cup of tea ok?" said Chandler, the mother hen.
"OK, thanks Sweetie," said Monica, picking Riley up and settling down on the couch.
"My god, it's like a day care centre around here now" said Ross as he sat down on the couch next to Rachel.
"Yep, Well we're all parents now, this is how it's gonna be from now on" said Chandler. "Isn't it great?"

"Umm I don't know. You've just been nothing but a bitch to me today. I know you've got PMS but no need to take it out on me and spoil Monica and Chandler's special day," said Ross.
"Boy are you gonna regret saying that twice in the one day Ross Geller" Rachel said as she jumped off the couch and stormed into the room where Isabella was sleeping.

"Well, I just think that's what the problem is" aid Monica.
"I'm gonna go talk to her" said Ross "I'll be back in a second and I call shotgun burping one of the triplets ok??"
"I'll keep Emma reserved for you ok" replied Monica with a laugh.

Ross enters the room to see Rachel lying on the bed with a sleeping Isabella in her arms, stroking her sweet little face. He climbed on the bed next to Rachel and wrapped his arms around her and Bella.
As soon as she felt his touch, Rachel began sobbing in his arms.
"Rachel, Talk to me Honey," said Ross. "Tell me what's wrong"
"No Ross, Trust me you won't want to know what's wrong with me," said Rachel. "Why, what is it? Are you sick?" asked Ross
No answer from Rachel, She just continued to sob in his arms.
"Rachel I'm going crazy right now, just tell me what it is. Is it because of what I said when we were hanging up the banners? Because I said you were being a bitch? Because if it is you know I didn't mean any of those things"
"No, I can't tell you this right now because you're not gonna like it" said Rachel, nearly hysterical in tears by now.
Suddenly Isabella woke up and took one look at her mommy crying and started crying herself.
"Mommy's sorry baby, I didn't mean to wake you up," said Rachel, holding Isabella close.
"Rach, I'm serious. Either you tell me right now or I walk out of this room, you are making me sick with worry" said Ross. "I can't stand to see you like this""
(Cut to the living room)
"What the hell is going on in there?" asked Phoebe.
"I have no idea but I kinda need to get into that room. The babies diapers are still in the cupboard and I'm smelling something pretty stinky over here" said Monica, holding Lily up to Chandler's face. "Smell that honey? That's what you're gonna be changing in a minute"
"Get it away from me" said Chandler "You're the Mommy, You do the pooey diapers"
"Dude, Do not say that?" said Joey "I said that last night when Dylan had one of those and Phoebe threatened me with no more sex unless I changed him"
Chandler looks horrified, Monica just looks interested.
"Really Pheeb's? Because that's a pretty good idea," said Monica "Not that I'm going to be in the mood for a while but still"
"Yes I did, No boyfriend of mine is going to tell me that he's not changing the pooey diapers. This parenting thing is a shared job," said Phoebe.
"OK, OK I'll do it," said Chandler "And I'll just clarify that I'm doing this because I love my daughter, not because of the sex thing"
"Yeah. Right" said Monica, standing up and putting Lily in his arms. "She's all yours Mister"
(Cut back to Monica and Chandler's Room)
"Honey, Just tell me what's wrong" said Ross.
Rachel took a deep breath in and sat Isabella in the middle of the bed. She got up as if to walk out the room then turned around suddenly.
"Ross, I'm pregnant," she said, in a whisper.
"What?" said Ross, shocked.
"I'm Pregnant. Having a baby. Knocked Up," said Rachel.
"Yeah I know what pregnant means Rach" said Ross.
He sat down on the bed with a stunned look on his face.
"I can't believe it. After all that we've been through on this subject, after deciding that we're not going to have another baby yet, you tell me you're pregnant" said Ross. "How the hell did this happen, we've been using contraceptives. Condoms and you're supposed to be on the pill"
"Oh I'm supposed to be on the pill. What the hell is that supposed to mean? Do you think that I stopped taking my pill so I would get pregnant? I got pregnant on the sly, is that what you think?" said Rachel angrily.
"I don't know what I think. We used condoms for Christs sake"
"I can't believe you're even going there Ross. Do you see that Little Girl lying there? Your Daughter. We used a condom then and look what we got. So don't you even dare try and pin this shit on me, I wasn't prepared for this either, I know what we decided and I was standing by that"
"Well we know that condom's don't work for us, and now it seems apparent the pill doesn't work either," said Ross. "I don't know how that one works, the pill is supposed to be like 99% effective unless it's screwed up by whoever is taking it".
"Ross, You've gone to far. I cannot believe that you even think that I would go behind your back and get myself pregnant" said Rachel.
Tears began to slide down her face again, she couldn't believe it. The man she loves is accusing her of getting pregnant on the sly.
"Well Rach, I don't know what to think. I mean, you wanted another baby so bad and we decided against it for perfectly logical reason and now here you are Pregnant, 6 months before our wedding"
"You're a Bastard Ross, an absolute bastard. I can't believe I even thought that this/us would work again. It's obvious you are to absorbed in your own little world thinking about how much we can't afford this baby to even see how I am feeling and to begin love this child. You're too selfish," said Rachel picking up Isabella and yanking open the door to the bedroom.
The Gang, All still in the same spot as before were staring in disbelief at what unfolding before them
"You're leaving? We haven't even discussed this and you're leaving?" said Ross.
"That's right, I'm leaving. You don't deserve me and after what you just said about me before you should know we are OVER. The wedding is off and I will raise your TWO kids by myself" said Rachel.
She ran out past everyone else in tears and left the apartment.
"Two kids? What the hell just happened?" asked Monica. "What did you say to her?"
"Oh my god" said Ross. He sat down on the couch with his head in his hands. "I'm such an idiot. I can't believe what I just did"
"What happened Ross?" said Phoebe, rubbing Ross's back.
"Rachel just told me she's pregnant and I accused her of not taking her pill and of getting pregnant on purpose. I've just ruined my relationship with the love of my life and my daughter because I let my mouth go in the heat of the moment," said Ross.
He began sobbing onto Monica's shoulder.
(Ross and Rachel's Apartment)
Rachel had arrived home at her and Ross's apartment. She sat Isabella down in her playpen and sat on the couch. She was nearly hyperventilating from all the crying. She took some deep, deep breaths and tried to compose herself. It didn't work and she soon found herself crying like a baby again.
Millions of thoughts were running through her mind. Ross, the man she trusted most in the world just accused her of getting pregnant on purpose. Of going behind his back just to get what she wanted. And now after a war of words, she was a single mother of two kids.
(Monica and Chandler's Apartment)
"Ross, You have to go and talk to her," said Phoebe.
"I agree Ross, She's probably at home feeling the exact same way that you are feeling right now" said Monica comfortingly.
"You think? I think Rachel's probably at home packing her and Isabella's stuff together and leaving me like she said before" said Ross "It's over, I've screwed up the most important thing in my life"
"I can't believe she's pregnant again," said Joey.
"I couldn't believe it either, we've had this discussion so many times over and we decided that we were definitely not going to have another baby until after the wedding. We just can't afford it plus we were using 2 contraceptives. I just didn't understand how it happened and as usual I blamed the first person in front of me," said Ross. "I can't believe I even accused her of getting pregnant on purpose, She is the one person in the world that I trust the most and I know that she would never do anything like that"
"Accident's happen Ross, You should know that after what happened and how Isabella was conceived" said Chandler
"Rachel would never do anything like that on purpose, She's told me time and time again about how she was going to respect what you wanted and wait until after the wedding to get pregnant again" said Phoebe "You can be such an ass sometimes Ross"
"I know Ok, I don't need you telling me that. What I need to do is go home and sort things out with Rachel before she does something drastic like move out and take my baby with her".
"Well go then," said Joey "Move it"
"Good Luck Man" said Chandler as Ross left the apartment.
"My brother is so stupid sometimes," said Monica "I can't believe he would accuse Rachel like that. He's going to be extremely lucky if Rachel is even at home and hasn't gone to her mom's or something"
"So it sounds like there's going to be another new addition to the family then" said Pheeb's.
"I know, we need to stop having babies for awhile' said Chandler. "That's your fault Monica, You had to have triplets and bring the numbers up didn't ya?"
"Yeah, as much your fault as it was mine" said Monica "And I think it's diaper time for you again, I'm smelling something disgusting over here"
"God, Let it be over," said Chandler as he got up and went into the Nursery to change Emma's diaper.
(Cut back to Ross and Rachel's apartment)
Rachel is still lying on the bed with her head resting on her pillow, which is saturated from her tears. Isabella begins crying in the background.
"Momma"
Rachel pulled herself off the bed wearily and walked over to the playpen.
"Hey there Princess" she said, picking her up out of the playpen. "Do you want your night time bottle now?"
"Dada" said Isabella, looking around the room.
"You want your Daddy? Well Daddy's in a bit of trouble right now with Mommy so we'll see what happens with that ok" said Rachel, walking through to the kitchen and warming up her bottle.
They made their way back through to the bedroom and Rachel lay back down on the bed with Isabella beside her who was now practicing holding her bottle like a big girl.
They both drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile Ross entered the apartment quietly. In his hand he had 3 bunches of Lilies and a Bloomingdale's bag.
He poked his head around the door of the bedroom and say Rachel and Isabella on the bed sound asleep. He walked in and picked Isabella up carefully and put her in the Nursery. Rachel stirred but didn't wake up. Ross got to work.
(2 hours later)
Rachel opened her eyes, which were red and puffy from crying. She sat up and looked around the dark room, She didn't remember shutting the blinds or anything and now she couldn't even see it was so dark. She went to reach over and turn on the lamp when a single candle was lit in the corner of the room.
Slowly, as more candles were lit around the room and her eyes adjusted to the lights, She saw the bed was spread with Lilies and Ross was walking around the room lighting the candles.
"Ross, What are you doing?" said Rachel "I'm really not in the mood to even talk to you right now so I think you should just leave."
"No I won't leave," said Ross. "I want to talk to you"
"Well, maybe I should just walk out of this room right now because I am still very angry at you and I don't think I should even talk because I may say more things that I'll regret"
"Rachel, please just hear me out" said Ross as he sat on the bed and went to put his arm around Rachel who immediately stiffened and moved away.
"Ross." said Rachel "Just don't touch me"
"Ok, Ok" said Ross. "First of all I just want to tell you how sorry I am for accusing you of getting pregnant on purpose, I know that you would never do anything like that and I know of course that accident's do happen" Rachel sat staring at the wall not responding.
"Rachel, I am so, so sorry for what I said, You know as well as I do that I just shoot my mouth off without thinking sometimes. I was freaked out that we were going to be having another baby and I didn't know what to think"
"There's no need to be freaked out Ross, like I said before we're over and you won't need to be around this baby" said Rachel.
"No, Rachel don't say that," said Ross, beginning to cry. "Please don't tell me that you're leaving me and taking my children with you just because I said a few wrong things in the heat of the moment"
"You don't want this baby Ross. All you can think about is how we can't afford it, because it's so close to the wedding etc. If you had even taken a moment to think about how I'm feeling in all of this."
"I know, I didn't think of your feelings and I'm sorry, I'm a selfish bastard and I admit that, but I'm here now and I'm apologizing and I hope that you will accept it" said Ross grabbing Rachel's hand "Because Rach, I can't imagine my life without you and Isabella in it, I love you so much, you both mean the world to me and I don't know what I'll do if you walk out of here tonight"
"Don't talk stupid Ross. You're not going to do anything," said Rachel.
Her tears began to flow freely again as she began talking.
"That really hurt me what you said to me today Ross, It hurt me like you wouldn't believe. To hear form you, the one person that I trust the most in the whole world, that you think I've been lying and got my self pregnant on purpose behind your back. It ripped my heart out, it really did," said Rachel.
"I didn't mean what I said. These things happen. Pregnancy's happen and I don't want you to think that I don't trust you because I do and I know that you didn't do this on purpose, I don't know how many times I have to say sorry but I'll say it, I'll do anything you want me to do, just to get you to say you forgive me"
He leaned over and kissed Rachel tenderly on the lips before reaching behind him and pulled out the Bloomingdale's bag.
"What's that?" said Rachel.
"It's something I picked up before," said Ross.
He pulled out the bag two T-shirts, One larger pink one for Isabella and a tiny lemon one for the new baby. They both said MY DADDY LOVES ME.
"I'm ok with this new baby Rachel. I really am. I'm prepared to go through everything again and contrary to what you may believe I do want this baby. I love it more then ever and I've only known about it for half a day" said Ross. He leaned down and kissed Rachel's stomach.
"Please, just tell me that you forgive me," said Ross.
"I'm still not convinced that you are ready for this again" said Rachel " I don't want to be hearing all the cons involved with having another baby, I want to be hearing all the pro's. All this baby needs is love Ross"
"No con's, I promise" said Ross "I love you so much Rachel, Just tell me you forgive me?"
Rachel leaned over and kissed him passionately on the lips, tears stained her cheeks and Ross wiped them away gently.
"Are we ok?" said Ross, hesitant to hear the answer.
"We're good," said Rachel "Now kiss me again and tell me how much you love me"
Ross pushed her down on the bed and kissed her everywhere.
"I love you Rachel Green," said Ross. "So, we're having a baby?"
"We are having a baby. Are you sure you're ready for this?"
"I'm so ready," said Ross, returning back to kissing her.
They began making out until Ross suddenly jumped off the bed saying "Wait!!"
"What. Ross don't tell me that you've changed your mind or anything because I'll heave my body off this bed and kick your ass.." said Rachel as she sat up.
"Give me your ring," said Ross with his hand out towards Rachel.
"Why?" said Rachel
"You'll see now just give it to me" said Ross.
Rachel pulled her engagement ring off her finger and gave it to Ross.
Ross grabbed Rachel's hand and pulled her into a standing position in front of the bed before getting down on one knee.
"What are you doing?" said Rachel.
"Ssshh" said Ross.
"Rachel Green, I love you more then anything in this world. You are my everything. Will you marry me?"
"If I remember correctly, you asked me to marry you 9 months ago and I think..I'm pretty sure I said yes then," said Rachel.
"Yes you did. But you just told me before that the wedding is off therefore I have to propose to you again if I want you to be my wife" said Ross. "Now for the 2nd time, Rachel Green, Will you do my the greatest honour of becoming my wife?"
"OK, I get you now. Of course I will," said Rachel. Ross slipped the ring back on her finger. He stood up and kissed her firmly on the lips.
"I love you too Ross," said Rachel "And you're lucky you proposed to me again or I would have had to take my wedding dress back and I love it too much to do that" said Rachel.
They both burst out laughing. Ross picked Rachel up in his arms and laid her back on the bed, spread with Lily petals where they began their loving relationship again.
