(14th of February, 2003-Valentine's Day) Ross and Rachel's Wedding.
The Ceremony is about to begin.
Rachel was standing, just outside the door, waiting to walk down the aisle with her father. Nervously fixing her veil and adjusting her Strapless white dress, which clung to her bulging belly. Her hair was flowing down her back and she looked beautiful. The baby was turning somersaults in her stomach, maybe she was as nervous as her mother.
Monica, Phoebe, Joey and Chandler are preparing to walk on their cue. Monica is already crying.
"Mon, Your gonna ruin your make-up" said Rachel, patting her tears away gently.
"I know but you look so beautiful," said Monica "I'm so incredibly happy for you Rach and I just want to tell you how much I love you"
"Aww" said Rachel "I love you too Monica"
"Me too" said Phoebe. All the girls had a bit of a group hug.
Isabella was sitting on the floor, eating a Rose Petal from her little basket; they had decided that Isabella could walk in front of Rachel and her father with Ben dropping Rose Petals along the way.
"Honey, You look so beautiful today," said Mr Green as he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.
"Thanks Dad" she replied giving him a nervous smile before quickly bending down and grabbing the petal out of Isabella's mouth
"Honey, Don't eat the flowers" said Rachel.
"I can't believe my Little Girl's getting married, I always knew you would be the first one to get married Rachel and I really couldn't be any happier that it's to Ross and I really mean that" said Mr Green.
"Well, I couldn't be any happier either, I'm about to marry the love of my life, I'm so happy, I could cry" Rachel replied. "In fact, I think I am going to"
"Don't cry now Honey, You'll ruin your make up" said Mr Green with a laugh.
"Now, Little Miss Bella, Are you ready to walk down the aisle?" He asked Isabella who had wrapped her arms around his legs.
"Me walk now Poppy" she replied picking up her basket.
"That's right Isabella, Now remember what Mommy told you before" said Rachel picking Isabella up into her arms.
"Who am I kidding, She's 1 and a half years old, She's too young for this" said Rachel with a laugh. "Now Pumpkin, You just hold Ben's hand and walk towards Daddy ok, Just like we practiced yesterday"
"Otay" Isabella replied putting her arms out towards her poppy.
"She'll be fine," said Mr Green, putting Isabella back on her feet.
"Are you ready Ben?" asked Chandler "Got everything you need to have"
"Yep. 2 rings and one Baby Sister. We're good to go," said Ben
"Great because it's time," said Monica "See you up there Rach"
The sounds of orchestra music is flowing through the room as Monica and Phoebe begin walking down the aisle, Monica on Chandler's arm and Phoebe on Joey's. Chandler and Joey look handsome in their tuxedos, while Monica and Phoebe are wearing gorgeous light blue, strapless bridesmaid gowns.
Chandler took his place next to Ross, who was standing very quietly.
Meanwhile Phoebe and Joey had reached the top of the aisle and took their places, a symphony began playing and everyone stood up and looked towards the door.
"Ready Sweetie?" asked Mr Green handing Rachel her bouquet of Lilies.
"I'm ready" Rachel replied, taking hold of his arm as the doors opened. Ben took hold of Isabella's hand and they began to walk down the aisle, Rachel and her Father followed seconds later.
Ross, who was standing at the top of the aisle, tuned his head as soon as the music changed and what he saw took his breath away. He was absolutely lost for words at what he saw.
He saw his Baby Girl toddling down the aisle, holding onto Ben's hand, throwing Rose Petals everywhere, stopping on the way up to pick one back up and put it in her mouth followed by Rachel, who was walking very slowly behind her, Looking straight ahead at him with tears in her eyes.
"Oh my god, She looks so beautiful, Doesn't she" said Phoebe to Monica, who was still crying.
"She does" Monica replied, glancing over at his brother who was entranced by what he was seeing. This was the first time she had ever seen him look so happy she thought to her self, all his dreams were coming true.
Rachel and her father reached the top of the aisle.
"She's all your's Ross" Mr Green said, smiling up at his future son in law.
He went back and picked up Isabella who had stopped halfway down and was sitting down eating Rose Petals and then took his seat at the front, next to Mrs Green.
"I'm speechless" Ross said as he took Rachel's hand, "You look amazing".
"You look pretty amazing yourself" Rachel replied, "I love you"
"I love you too" Ross replied and they turned around to face the minister.
"Dearly Beloved, We are gathered here today to join Ross and Rachel in the bonds of Holy Matrimony" (You will have to excuse this as I have no idea what gets said at Wedding's, so I'm having my best shot, while watching TOW Monica and Chandler's wedding)
"We will proceed straight to the vows, Ross repeat after me, I Ross, take thee Rachel, as my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, in sickness and in health, till death do us part"
"I Ross, take thee Rachel as my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, in sickness and in health till death do us part" repeated Ross, staring deep into Rachel's eyes which were welling up with tears.
"Rachel repeat after me, I Rachel, take thee Ross as my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.
"I Rachel, take thee Ross as my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, in sickness and in health, till death do us part" said Rachel, her voice cracking with emotion.
Isabella, who began wailing "Momma", interrupted them. She began reaching out to Rachel from her place in Mr Green's lap. Rachel motioned to her dad, who passed Isabella into Rachel's arms where she immediately stopped crying.
"Shall I continue now?" asked the minister.
"Yes, continue please" Ross answered.
"May we have the rings please?" asked the minister.
Phoebe passed the ring to Rachel and Joey did the same to Ross.
"Rachel, this ring symbolizes my love for you, now and forever," said Ross as he placed the ring onto Rachel's finger.
"Ross, this ring symbolizes my love for you, now and forever," said Rachel as she slid the ring onto Ross's finger as best as she could, while balancing Isabella on her hip.
"By the power invested in me, and the State of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride".
Ross lifted Rachel's veil and whispered in her ear "I'll always love you Rachel" before kissing her tenderly on the lips sandwiching Isabella in between them.
Everyone stood up as the happy couple kissed; the sounds of Hero by Enrique Iglesias filled the room.
"Let me be your hero, Would you dance, if I asked you to dance? Would you run and never look back? Would you cry, if you saw me crying? Would you save my soul tonight? Would you tremble, if I touched your lips? Would you laugh? Oh please tell me this. Now would you die, for the one you love? Hold me in your arms tonight. I can be your hero baby. I can kiss away your pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away".
Ross broke the kiss and leant down and kissed Isabella on the head. He wiped away the tears on Rachel's face before grabbing her hand and they walked back down the aisle.
The New Mr and Mrs Geller had just begun their new life.
(Reception)
The reception is being held in a beautiful Ball Room. There are tables all around the edges adorned with bunches of Lilies and a Dance floor in the middle in front of the stage. The guests have just enjoyed a delicious meal of Salmon with sides and a selection of desserts.
The Bridal Party were occupying a long table to one side. Ross and Rachel in the middle. Then Chandler, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Ben and Isabella in a highchair next to Monica.
Ross stood up and tapped his glass, to get everyone's attention.
"Can I have everyone's attention please?" he said.
Everyone quietened down.
"First of all I just want to say Thank you so much to you all for being here on myself and Rachel's special day. It makes our day even more special knowing that everyone close to us is here, sharing in our Joy"
There was a round a clapping from the guests.
Next he turned and faced Rachel.
"Rachel I knew from the first day that I met you, the first time I looked into those big blue eyes, that you were the one for me. That you were the woman I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. That was the moment that my love for you started and throughout all these years, all the ups and downs we've been through together, that love has never faded"
Rachel was lost for words. Tears began to roll down her face as she listened.
"We may not be the most perfect couple, we may drive each other crazy for the most part but I want you to know that I love you and our 2 beautiful girls beyond belief and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you"
He bent down and pulled Rachel off her seat and kissed her gently.
"Rachel, my beautiful wife. May I have this dance, our first dance as a married couple?"
"You may," said Rachel, putting her hand out to Ross.
The Band began to play 'I finally found someone' by Bryan Adams and Barbara Streisand.
'I finally found someone, who knocks me off my feet;
I finally found the one who makes me feel complete...
It started over coffee, we started out as friends;
It's funny how from simple things; the best things begin...
This time is different;
la la la la It's all because of you!
It's better than it's ever been;
Cuz we can talk it through;
my favourite line was 'Can I call you sometime?'
It's all you had to say...
To take my breath away...
This is it!
Oh, I finally found someone; someone to share my life; I finally found the one - to be with every night;
Cause whatever I do
it's just got to be you!
My life has just begun, I finally found someone...'
Ross grabbed hold of her hand and led her onto the dance floor where they began to glide across the floor.
"Have you had lesson's Honey?" asked Rachel, as Ross led her around the dance floor.
"Noo. Ok maybe just a little bit. I just wanted our first dance to be special," admitted Ross.
"That was very sweet of you," said Rachel, kissing Ross.
Suddenly Rachel moaned and squeezed Ross's hand tightly. "No, Not now. Please not now"
"What? What's the matter?" said Ross, stopping in his tracks.
"My water just broke," she said loudly.
Upon hearing that, One hundred guests who were watching them dancing rushed to her side.
"NOW?" Ross exclaimed, turning around in a panic to face the guests that were standing behind him.
"Now" said Rachel "Ohh God, She's coming"
"NOW?" said Ross again.
"No tomorrow Ross" snapped Rachel, clearly in pain as a contraction rushed through her body.
"Ross. You've got to get her to the hospital now" said Monica.
"Ok. That I know," said Ross, grabbing Rachel around the waist. "So I guess there's definitely no sex tonight then is there?"
Rachel looked at him with daggers in her eyes.
"So I guess we have to leave the party now too then?" asked Joey "Man, They haven't even served the cake yet"
"Joey!!" said Phoebe "I'll pick you up a cake on the way to the hospital ok?"
"You're the best," replied Joey.
"Everyone make some room please. Back it up" said Monica, waving her arms around.
Chandler walked up to the microphone on the stage. "Ok everyone. Slight change of plans. Instead of finishing their first dance as a married couple, Mr and Mrs Geller are going to go and have a baby so if you would all like to give them a congratulatory round of applause; they will be leaving right now. But all you people can just continue on partying. I don't think Ross and Rachel will mind. Monica, We can stay and party too can't we?"
"No you can't stay and party Chandler. Jesus" said Monica, before turning back to Rachel "I'll get Isabella and Ben and we'll meet you there ok Honey?"
"Ok, thankyou.Owww" said Rachel
"Well isn't this a whole lot of good luck Baby" said Rachel's father, coming to her side.
"Yeah, Great Luck," said Rachel "Where's Mom?"
"Probably in a cupboard somewhere with some man" replied her father, looking around.
"Daddy!!" Rachel exclaimed.
"Come on Honey" said Ross "Well take the Limousine"
"Look after my daughter Geller" said Dr Green.
Ross and Rachel exited the ballroom and walked to where the Limousine that was supposed to be taking them on their Honeymoon was waiting.
"Hey" said Ross to the driver as he helped Rachel into the car, trying to push the train of her dress in.
"Hey, Why are you leaving the party so early? Can't wait to get on the Honeymoon??" said the driver, turning around and winking.
"Actually we're having a baby so we need to get to New York University Hospital ok" said Ross.
"Like Right Now" said Rachel, her face pasty as she held onl, her face pasty as she held onaid the driver as he sped off.
15 minutes later the limousine came screaming up to the entrance of the Hospital and Ross jumped out and help Rachel out. He grabbed a wheelchair from near the door and Rachel sat down. Ross began to push her through the doors, nearly slamming into an Elderly Couple.
"Ross, I want to get there alive," snapped Rachel.
They stopped at the Desk of the Maternity Ward.
"Excuse me, this is Rachel Green, No Rachel Geller. Her water broke about 25 minutes ago," said Ross, to a Nurse at the desk.
"Where were you? A costume Party?" said the Nurse jokingly.
"No today is my Wedding Day. My water broke in the middle of the god damn reception and if you do not hurry up and get my Doctor down here you're gonna be sorry" said Rachel "Owww. Ross...Get Dr Long"
"Ok Sweetie, Would you page Dr Long now for crying out loud. My Wife's in labour here and you're cracking jokes," said Ross.
"OK, Let's get you to an exam room and check your progress" said another Nurse who came along. She wheeled Rachel into an exam room as the Receptionist paged Dr Long.
(Examination Room)
Dr Long arrived at did an internal on Rachel who was out of her wedding dress and settled in bed.
"You're 7cm dilated Rachel" she said.
"Already? 7cm already?" asked Rachel
"Yes. She's progressing much faster then Isabella so it shouldn't be long" said Dr Long. She looked at the chair and noticed the Wedding Dress "Well, I see Congratulations are in order then? Did you get through the ceremony?"
"Yeah. My water broke in the middle of our first dance" said Rachel "Very fun stuff"
"Why is this happening?" asked Ross "She's not due for another 3 or 4 weeks?"
"These things happen sometimes but I'm not worried about the baby at all. Last check up she was a healthy 7lb so it might be a blessing that she's coming earlier or else Rachel might have experienced a lot of discomfort" said Dr Long.
"Are you sure that she's gonna be ok?" said Rachel with a worried look on her face.
"I know she's going to be fine. I'll be back in about half an hour to check your progress ok," said Dr Long, heading towards the door.
"Ok Thankyou" said Rachel.
"Ross, I can't believe this is happening to us! Today of all days" said Rachel "I'm supposed to be enjoying my self right now. Not lying in bed in labour"
"Relax. This just means that our Day is going to be even more special," said Ross "Hopefully she's here before midnight and then her birthday will be our Wedding Anniversary"
"Yeah, I suppose. God I can't believe I'm going to have my girl in my arms sometime soon" said Rachel.
Monica, Phoebe, Joey and Chandler all entered the room, still in their Tux's and Bridesmaid Dresses. Joey was eating a slab of Mud Cake.
"Hi, How are you feeling?" said Monica as she entered with Isabella in her arms.
"Mommy" said Isabella, reaching out for Rachel.
"Hi Honey" said Rachel, giving the baby a kiss. "Like Crap, Hannah's definitely on her way, 7cm dilated"
"Hannah?" said Ross "We hadn't decided on that"
"Shut up" said Rachel, putting her hand in front of Ross's face.
"7 cm already?" exclaimed Phoebe "Your water broke like an hour ago"
"I know," said Rachel "And if things keep going this way we might have a baby tonight"
"We left everyone at the Plaza, Still partying" said Chandler.
"I don't see why we had to leave" said Joey "I mean it took like 47 hours last time, Who's to say it's going to be different this time. I could still be having fun"
"Joey you got your cake so stop complaining" said Phoebe.
"Oh isn't that nice. I'm lying here in pain and my family and friends are still enjoying themselves," said Rachel "Did you bring the presents?"
"No why?" asked Phoebe
"You left the presents there?" cried Rachel "What if people steal them?"
"Who is going to want to steal your wedding presents?" said Monica "You know everyone that's there"
"Well for starters that bitch from High School, what's her name? Sharon Wellington, I don't even know why I invited that kleptomaniac" said Rachel "She has serious problems"
She screwed her face up in pain and gripped Ross's Hand as another contraction controlled her body "Oww, Painkillers. Need Painkillers"
"Breath Honey, Just relax ok," said Ross, smoothing Rachel's hair "We'll worry about presents later. Let's concentrate on having our baby for now"
"Easy for you to say" snapped Rachel "You don't have to push this 7lb baby out your vagina. I'm going to need like 100 stitches if she's as big as they say. Maybe I should ask for a C-Section, Just cut me open and bring her on out"
Joey was turning slightly green, as he ate his cake "I think I'm gonna go outside for just a second" he said, before turning around and rushing out the room.
"Where's Emma, Riley, Lily and Dylan?" asked Ross.
"We left them with Mom and Dad, They decided they were going to go home and they asked if they could take them" said Monica. "Oh and Ben decided he would wait until tomorrow to see the baby, He didn't want to hang around for hours so we dropped him at Carol and Susan's"
"You left Mom and Dad in charge of 4 babies?" said Ross "Are you crazy?"
"I have a lot of faith in Jack and Judy," said Chandler "A whole lot of...non-faith"
"They're going to need a whole lot of luck with the mood Dylan was in when I left him," said Phoebe "He's teething, I think"
Rachel began to moan and breathe deeply as another contraction came "Oh god"
Ross rubbed her arm and breathed through it with her "Nearly over, nearly there"
"Why weren't you that supportive when I was in labour?" Monica asked Chandler "You were screaming every time I had a contraction"
"Was not!" said Chandler, He turned to Ross "Have you ever had those sympathy pains?"
Dr Long came in the check on Rachel.
"Just Mom and Dad in here for now please" she said. "Sorry Guys"
"That's ok," said Monica "I'll bring Bella back in when she's finished ok?"
"Thanks Mon" said Ross.
"Back soon Rach" said Phoebe "Have fun"
"Yeah" replied Rachel.
"How are you feeling Rachel?" asked Dr Long as she felt up underneath the sheets. "Wow, You're nearly 9cm now"
"I can't take this anymore" moaned Rachel "I need some painkillers or some thing. Just give me something to hurry her up a little bit"
"I'm afraid you are too far progressed for any painkillers," said Dr Long "You're going to have to grin and bare it"
"WHAT???" snapped Rachel.
"Rachel, You don't need painkillers," said Ross comfortingly "A natural childbirth is always best"
"What the hell do you know?" said Rachel angrily.
"Sorry!" said Ross, standing up and moving away from the bed.
"I'm sorry Rachel, but there's nothing we can do now," said Dr Long "I doubt that it will be much longer. I see you being 10cm within the hour"
"I knew I should have drunk at the reception. Then I would have been so wasted I wouldn't have felt a thing" said Rachel.
"Just for the record" said Ross to Dr Long "She goes a little crazy when she's in labour. She hasn't drunk alcohol the entire pregnancy and we are not bad parents"
Dr Long smiled. "I understand Rachel but just relax, breath through each contraction and get some rest now. I'll be back in another half hour"
"She knows nothing," said Rachel as Dr Long left the room.
"No, She's only a fantastic Obstetrician who successfully delivered your first daughter but she knows nothing at all," said Ross sarcastically.
"Do you want me to start on you too?" snapped Rachel "It's getting that way"
"No, Actually I'm just going to go outside for a minute" said Ross "Give you some space"
"No!! Don't leave me. I'm sorry for being a bitch. Just don't leave me to do this by myself" said Rachel apologetically.
"I was only joking. As if I would leave you by yourself. I don't want to miss one second of this," said Ross, sitting on the edge of her bed and taking her hand. "My wife's about to have a baby. I can call you my wife now. Everyone this is my Wife Rachel, Not my fiancée Rachel. My Wife"
"Great, Now get over it. You've got many more years to practice that," said Rachel "If we last that long"
"What are you talking about?" asked Ross.
"Nothing, I'm just joking. Relax Hubby" replied Rachel, with a smile on her face.
She cried out in agony "Oh another one Ross" "Why are you doing this to me? If it weren't for me you wouldn't even exist and this is how you repay me?"
"Me?" asked Ross, as he rubbed her back.
"No, Her" said Rachel, pointing at her stomach.
"We'll have to wait a few hours and then we'll ask her why she did it ok?" said Ross.
(2 hours later - Rachel has been moved to the delivery suite after reaching 10cm. The gang are waiting anxiously in the waiting room)
"Hey Joe" said Chandler
"Yeah?" replied Joey.
Chandler came closer and whispered in his ear "Did you get Playboy this month?"
Joey smiled and said loudly "No I didn't get Playboy this month Chandler. Buy it yourself"
"Sshhh" said Chandler, looking towards Monica who was greasing him. "Do you not understand the concept of whispering?"
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realise that's why you were whispering," said Joey "Because you hide things from your wife"
"I do not hide things from me wife. Joey!!!" said Chandler, rushing over to Monica's side.
Joey let out an evil laugh.
"You are so evil sometimes," said Phoebe, putting her arms around Joey's waist and looking towards where Chandler was explaining himself to Monica.
"I know. But you love me for it?" said Joey.
"You betcha" replied Phoebe. "God, I'm bored!"
Joey looked around him "There's a storage cupboard over there" he said with a wink. "What do ya say?"
Phoebe giggled and led him over to the cupboard.
(Delivery Suite)
Dr Long and Ross are coaching Rachel through the delivery.
Rachel is lying on the exam bed, with Ross holding one of her legs and herself holding the other. She is pushing down with all her might but not much is happening.
"Ready. Now push. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" said Dr Long
"Come on Honey, Push" coached Ross.
"I am frigging pushing," snapped Rachel, her face covered in sweat. She began to put her Lamaze breathing into practice.
"That's right. Just like we practiced," said Ross demonstrating the breathing.
"Rachel, Nothing is happening. You're going to have to push much harder now," said Dr Long "The baby is getting stressed"
"I'm pushing as hard as I can," cried Rachel, biting down on her lip in pain.
"Just stop for a second," said Dr Long.
Rachel stopped pushing her whole body immediately relaxed on the table. Ross wiped her face with a damp washcloth. "Rachel, You're doing great Honey"
"You think?" said Rachel. She was exhausted.
Dr Long got up and moved over to the Foetal Monitor, which was monitoring the baby's heartbeat etc. through some pads that were placed on Rachel's bulging stomach.
"What's the matter?" said Rachel anxiously "Is there something wrong?"
"The baby is getting very stressed out," said Dr Long returning to the end of the bed. "You're going to have to give it your best shot now Rachel because if she isn't delivered in 5 minutes, I may have to perform a C- Section"
"Ok. Ok I can do it," said Rachel
"Good. The next contraction should be in about 15 seconds so when that hits I want you to push as hard as you can ok? Ross, You need to support her back ok?"
"Ok" said Ross, putting one arm behind Rachel whilst holding her leg with the other.
"Ready?" said Dr Long.
"Ohhh Jesus" cried Rachel as the contraction hit. She pushed as hard as she could. Ross was coaching her "Come on Rach, You're doing great"
"That's great Rachel, She's crowning" said Dr Long, reaching for one of those blue blanket things.
"I can't. I need to stop," said Rachel, out of breath. "We can't stop Rachel. We need to get her out," said Dr Long "Push"
Rachel pushed down, clamping her hand on Ross's shoulder and digging her nails in.
"The heads out" announced Dr Long.
"It is?" said Ross excitedly, moving down for a look. "Oh my god that's gross"
Rachel tried to raise her body up to try and see but couldn't find the energy.
"One more push and she'll be here," said Dr Long.
"One more Honey. This is it," said Ross, kissing her cheek. "I know you can do it"
"I can do it," said Rachel.
She pushed so hard that her veins were popping out her temples until a sweet sound was heard. The Baby Girl had a big set of lungs and her cries filled the room.
Dr Long took her over to the incubator just to quickly check her before she was presented to Mom and Dad.
"Oh my god" said Rachel tearfully "It's over"
"It's over Honey and I'm so proud of you," said Ross, kissing her gently.
"Here she is" announced Dr Long.
"Oh she's amazing," said Ross.
Dr Long placed the baby in Rachel's Arms. Rachel burst into tears as soon as she held her.
"Hey Little Girl" said Rachel. "What time is it?"
"It's 11:56pm," said Dr Long.
"She made it," said Ross, kissing his Newborn. "Minutes before the stroke of Mid Night"
Rachel was staring down at the bay, stroking her soft skin.
"She's very beautiful," said Ross "Just like her Mommy"
"She's perfect," said Rachel "I can't believe she's here"
"Does she have a name yet?" asked Dr Long, standing next to the happy family.
"We haven't quite decided yet," said Rachel "What does Daddy think?"
"Dad thinks she looks like a little Alyssa Caitlin," said Ross.
"Alyssa Caitlin" pondered Rachel, looking at the newborn's face.
"I think that's perfect," she said, kissing Ross "Alyssa Caitlin Geller. Ally for short"
"Hi Alyssa" said Ross "Nice to finally meet you"
The baby opened her eyes and looked at her parents.
"She's got her mommy's eyes," said Ross.
"And hopefully her Daddy's heart" said Rachel "Thankyou Ross"
"What for?" he asked.
"For this!" said Rachel "Everything, My dream wedding today, our children. It's just amazing"
"You are very welcome," said Ross
(Half an hour later)
Rachel is in her room; in bed holding Alyssa with Isabella sitting next to her staring at the new member of the family while Ross is taking happy snaps.
"Isabella, This is your baby sister Alyssa," said Rachel
Isabella leaned over and looked at the baby as if she was deciding wether to like her or not.
"Can you give Alyssa a kiss Isabella?" asked Ross, demonstrating.
Isabella slowly kissed Alyssa on the head.
"Ohh, That was nice" said Ross "I think they're gonna be fine"
Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey knocked on the door. They wanted to meet the baby.
"Wow" said Monica as she entered the room and saw the new family "This is amazing"
"Another beautiful girl" said Phoebe.
"Everyone, this is Alyssa Caitlin Geller" announced Ross. "Ally for short"
"Hi Alyssa" said Joey "I'm your Uncle Joey and if you want any advice about life, I'm the man to see"
"Sure you are Honey," said Phoebe "This is coming from a guy who didn't even know how long a decade was"
Rachel laughed. "I'm still spun out" said Rachel "A marriage and a baby on the same day"
"It is pretty special," said Chandler.
"I don't think it could have worked out any better," said Ross.
"Me neither" replied Rachel, kissing the baby's head. "I couldn't be any happier right now, Surrounded by all the people I love"
"That's sweet," said Monica.
"I mean it, I want to thank you guys for how amazing and supportive you've been during these last 2 years. I don't think that I could have coped throughout my first pregnancy without you and I'm so glad that you are here with me second time around. And also for everything with the Wedding Plans. I'm sure Ross feels the same"
"Absolutely. We couldn't have done everything without your encouragement etc. It means a lot to us, having you here" said Ross.
"Aww thanks" said Monica. "Now can I please hold my niece?"
Rachel laughed and handed Alyssa to Monica "I was waiting for you to say that"
Well that's it. This is the final chapter so I hope you enjoyed reading my fan fiction as much as I enjoyed writing it. I'm debating wether to continue on with this series or not so if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please Review and let me know. Thanks heaps
(14th of February, 2003-Valentine's Day) Ross and Rachel's Wedding.
The Ceremony is about to begin.
Rachel was standing, just outside the door, waiting to walk down the aisle with her father. Nervously fixing her veil and adjusting her Strapless white dress, which clung to her bulging belly. Her hair was flowing down her back and she looked beautiful. The baby was turning somersaults in her stomach, maybe she was as nervous as her mother.
Monica, Phoebe, Joey and Chandler are preparing to walk on their cue. Monica is already crying.
"Mon, Your gonna ruin your make-up" said Rachel, patting her tears away gently.
"I know but you look so beautiful," said Monica "I'm so incredibly happy for you Rach and I just want to tell you how much I love you"
"Aww" said Rachel "I love you too Monica"
"Me too" said Phoebe. All the girls had a bit of a group hug.
Isabella was sitting on the floor, eating a Rose Petal from her little basket; they had decided that Isabella could walk in front of Rachel and her father with Ben dropping Rose Petals along the way.
"Honey, You look so beautiful today," said Mr Green as he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.
"Thanks Dad" she replied giving him a nervous smile before quickly bending down and grabbing the petal out of Isabella's mouth
"Honey, Don't eat the flowers" said Rachel.
"I can't believe my Little Girl's getting married, I always knew you would be the first one to get married Rachel and I really couldn't be any happier that it's to Ross and I really mean that" said Mr Green.
"Well, I couldn't be any happier either, I'm about to marry the love of my life, I'm so happy, I could cry" Rachel replied. "In fact, I think I am going to"
"Don't cry now Honey, You'll ruin your make up" said Mr Green with a laugh.
"Now, Little Miss Bella, Are you ready to walk down the aisle?" He asked Isabella who had wrapped her arms around his legs.
"Me walk now Poppy" she replied picking up her basket.
"That's right Isabella, Now remember what Mommy told you before" said Rachel picking Isabella up into her arms.
"Who am I kidding, She's 1 and a half years old, She's too young for this" said Rachel with a laugh. "Now Pumpkin, You just hold Ben's hand and walk towards Daddy ok, Just like we practiced yesterday"
"Otay" Isabella replied putting her arms out towards her poppy.
"She'll be fine," said Mr Green, putting Isabella back on her feet.
"Are you ready Ben?" asked Chandler "Got everything you need to have"
"Yep. 2 rings and one Baby Sister. We're good to go," said Ben
"Great because it's time," said Monica "See you up there Rach"
The sounds of orchestra music is flowing through the room as Monica and Phoebe begin walking down the aisle, Monica on Chandler's arm and Phoebe on Joey's. Chandler and Joey look handsome in their tuxedos, while Monica and Phoebe are wearing gorgeous light blue, strapless bridesmaid gowns.
Chandler took his place next to Ross, who was standing very quietly.
Meanwhile Phoebe and Joey had reached the top of the aisle and took their places, a symphony began playing and everyone stood up and looked towards the door.
"Ready Sweetie?" asked Mr Green handing Rachel her bouquet of Lilies.
"I'm ready" Rachel replied, taking hold of his arm as the doors opened. Ben took hold of Isabella's hand and they began to walk down the aisle, Rachel and her Father followed seconds later.
Ross, who was standing at the top of the aisle, tuned his head as soon as the music changed and what he saw took his breath away. He was absolutely lost for words at what he saw.
He saw his Baby Girl toddling down the aisle, holding onto Ben's hand, throwing Rose Petals everywhere, stopping on the way up to pick one back up and put it in her mouth followed by Rachel, who was walking very slowly behind her, Looking straight ahead at him with tears in her eyes.
"Oh my god, She looks so beautiful, Doesn't she" said Phoebe to Monica, who was still crying.
"She does" Monica replied, glancing over at his brother who was entranced by what he was seeing. This was the first time she had ever seen him look so happy she thought to her self, all his dreams were coming true.
Rachel and her father reached the top of the aisle.
"She's all your's Ross" Mr Green said, smiling up at his future son in law.
He went back and picked up Isabella who had stopped halfway down and was sitting down eating Rose Petals and then took his seat at the front, next to Mrs Green.
"I'm speechless" Ross said as he took Rachel's hand, "You look amazing".
"You look pretty amazing yourself" Rachel replied, "I love you"
"I love you too" Ross replied and they turned around to face the minister.
"Dearly Beloved, We are gathered here today to join Ross and Rachel in the bonds of Holy Matrimony" (You will have to excuse this as I have no idea what gets said at Wedding's, so I'm having my best shot, while watching TOW Monica and Chandler's wedding)
"We will proceed straight to the vows, Ross repeat after me, I Ross, take thee Rachel, as my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, in sickness and in health, till death do us part"
"I Ross, take thee Rachel as my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, in sickness and in health till death do us part" repeated Ross, staring deep into Rachel's eyes which were welling up with tears.
"Rachel repeat after me, I Rachel, take thee Ross as my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.
"I Rachel, take thee Ross as my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, in sickness and in health, till death do us part" said Rachel, her voice cracking with emotion.
Isabella, who began wailing "Momma", interrupted them. She began reaching out to Rachel from her place in Mr Green's lap. Rachel motioned to her dad, who passed Isabella into Rachel's arms where she immediately stopped crying.
"Shall I continue now?" asked the minister.
"Yes, continue please" Ross answered.
"May we have the rings please?" asked the minister.
Phoebe passed the ring to Rachel and Joey did the same to Ross.
"Rachel, this ring symbolizes my love for you, now and forever," said Ross as he placed the ring onto Rachel's finger.
"Ross, this ring symbolizes my love for you, now and forever," said Rachel as she slid the ring onto Ross's finger as best as she could, while balancing Isabella on her hip.
"By the power invested in me, and the State of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride".
Ross lifted Rachel's veil and whispered in her ear "I'll always love you Rachel" before kissing her tenderly on the lips sandwiching Isabella in between them.
Everyone stood up as the happy couple kissed; the sounds of Hero by Enrique Iglesias filled the room.
"Let me be your hero, Would you dance, if I asked you to dance? Would you run and never look back? Would you cry, if you saw me crying? Would you save my soul tonight? Would you tremble, if I touched your lips? Would you laugh? Oh please tell me this. Now would you die, for the one you love? Hold me in your arms tonight. I can be your hero baby. I can kiss away your pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away".
Ross broke the kiss and leant down and kissed Isabella on the head. He wiped away the tears on Rachel's face before grabbing her hand and they walked back down the aisle.
The New Mr and Mrs Geller had just begun their new life.
(Reception)
The reception is being held in a beautiful Ball Room. There are tables all around the edges adorned with bunches of Lilies and a Dance floor in the middle in front of the stage. The guests have just enjoyed a delicious meal of Salmon with sides and a selection of desserts.
The Bridal Party were occupying a long table to one side. Ross and Rachel in the middle. Then Chandler, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Ben and Isabella in a highchair next to Monica.
Ross stood up and tapped his glass, to get everyone's attention.
"Can I have everyone's attention please?" he said.
Everyone quietened down.
"First of all I just want to say Thank you so much to you all for being here on myself and Rachel's special day. It makes our day even more special knowing that everyone close to us is here, sharing in our Joy"
There was a round a clapping from the guests.
Next he turned and faced Rachel.
"Rachel I knew from the first day that I met you, the first time I looked into those big blue eyes, that you were the one for me. That you were the woman I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. That was the moment that my love for you started and throughout all these years, all the ups and downs we've been through together, that love has never faded"
Rachel was lost for words. Tears began to roll down her face as she listened.
"We may not be the most perfect couple, we may drive each other crazy for the most part but I want you to know that I love you and our 2 beautiful girls beyond belief and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you"
He bent down and pulled Rachel off her seat and kissed her gently.
"Rachel, my beautiful wife. May I have this dance, our first dance as a married couple?"
"You may," said Rachel, putting her hand out to Ross.
The Band began to play 'I finally found someone' by Bryan Adams and Barbara Streisand.
'I finally found someone, who knocks me off my feet;
I finally found the one who makes me feel complete...
It started over coffee, we started out as friends;
It's funny how from simple things; the best things begin...
This time is different;
la la la la It's all because of you!
It's better than it's ever been;
Cuz we can talk it through;
my favourite line was 'Can I call you sometime?'
It's all you had to say...
To take my breath away...
This is it!
Oh, I finally found someone; someone to share my life; I finally found the one - to be with every night;
Cause whatever I do
it's just got to be you!
My life has just begun, I finally found someone...'
Ross grabbed hold of her hand and led her onto the dance floor where they began to glide across the floor.
"Have you had lesson's Honey?" asked Rachel, as Ross led her around the dance floor.
"Noo. Ok maybe just a little bit. I just wanted our first dance to be special," admitted Ross.
"That was very sweet of you," said Rachel, kissing Ross.
Suddenly Rachel moaned and squeezed Ross's hand tightly. "No, Not now. Please not now"
"What? What's the matter?" said Ross, stopping in his tracks.
"My water just broke," she said loudly.
Upon hearing that, One hundred guests who were watching them dancing rushed to her side.
"NOW?" Ross exclaimed, turning around in a panic to face the guests that were standing behind him.
"Now" said Rachel "Ohh God, She's coming"
"NOW?" said Ross again.
"No tomorrow Ross" snapped Rachel, clearly in pain as a contraction rushed through her body.
"Ross. You've got to get her to the hospital now" said Monica.
"Ok. That I know," said Ross, grabbing Rachel around the waist. "So I guess there's definitely no sex tonight then is there?"
Rachel looked at him with daggers in her eyes.
"So I guess we have to leave the party now too then?" asked Joey "Man, They haven't even served the cake yet"
"Joey!!" said Phoebe "I'll pick you up a cake on the way to the hospital ok?"
"You're the best," replied Joey.
"Everyone make some room please. Back it up" said Monica, waving her arms around.
Chandler walked up to the microphone on the stage. "Ok everyone. Slight change of plans. Instead of finishing their first dance as a married couple, Mr and Mrs Geller are going to go and have a baby so if you would all like to give them a congratulatory round of applause; they will be leaving right now. But all you people can just continue on partying. I don't think Ross and Rachel will mind. Monica, We can stay and party too can't we?"
"No you can't stay and party Chandler. Jesus" said Monica, before turning back to Rachel "I'll get Isabella and Ben and we'll meet you there ok Honey?"
"Ok, thankyou.Owww" said Rachel
"Well isn't this a whole lot of good luck Baby" said Rachel's father, coming to her side.
"Yeah, Great Luck," said Rachel "Where's Mom?"
"Probably in a cupboard somewhere with some man" replied her father, looking around.
"Daddy!!" Rachel exclaimed.
"Come on Honey" said Ross "Well take the Limousine"
"Look after my daughter Geller" said Dr Green.
Ross and Rachel exited the ballroom and walked to where the Limousine that was supposed to be taking them on their Honeymoon was waiting.
"Hey" said Ross to the driver as he helped Rachel into the car, trying to push the train of her dress in.
"Hey, Why are you leaving the party so early? Can't wait to get on the Honeymoon??" said the driver, turning around and winking.
"Actually we're having a baby so we need to get to New York University Hospital ok" said Ross.
"Like Right Now" said Rachel, her face pasty as she held onl, her face pasty as she held onaid the driver as he sped off.
15 minutes later the limousine came screaming up to the entrance of the Hospital and Ross jumped out and help Rachel out. He grabbed a wheelchair from near the door and Rachel sat down. Ross began to push her through the doors, nearly slamming into an Elderly Couple.
"Ross, I want to get there alive," snapped Rachel.
They stopped at the Desk of the Maternity Ward.
"Excuse me, this is Rachel Green, No Rachel Geller. Her water broke about 25 minutes ago," said Ross, to a Nurse at the desk.
"Where were you? A costume Party?" said the Nurse jokingly.
"No today is my Wedding Day. My water broke in the middle of the god damn reception and if you do not hurry up and get my Doctor down here you're gonna be sorry" said Rachel "Owww. Ross...Get Dr Long"
"Ok Sweetie, Would you page Dr Long now for crying out loud. My Wife's in labour here and you're cracking jokes," said Ross.
"OK, Let's get you to an exam room and check your progress" said another Nurse who came along. She wheeled Rachel into an exam room as the Receptionist paged Dr Long.
(Examination Room)
Dr Long arrived at did an internal on Rachel who was out of her wedding dress and settled in bed.
"You're 7cm dilated Rachel" she said.
"Already? 7cm already?" asked Rachel
"Yes. She's progressing much faster then Isabella so it shouldn't be long" said Dr Long. She looked at the chair and noticed the Wedding Dress "Well, I see Congratulations are in order then? Did you get through the ceremony?"
"Yeah. My water broke in the middle of our first dance" said Rachel "Very fun stuff"
"Why is this happening?" asked Ross "She's not due for another 3 or 4 weeks?"
"These things happen sometimes but I'm not worried about the baby at all. Last check up she was a healthy 7lb so it might be a blessing that she's coming earlier or else Rachel might have experienced a lot of discomfort" said Dr Long.
"Are you sure that she's gonna be ok?" said Rachel with a worried look on her face.
"I know she's going to be fine. I'll be back in about half an hour to check your progress ok," said Dr Long, heading towards the door.
"Ok Thankyou" said Rachel.
"Ross, I can't believe this is happening to us! Today of all days" said Rachel "I'm supposed to be enjoying my self right now. Not lying in bed in labour"
"Relax. This just means that our Day is going to be even more special," said Ross "Hopefully she's here before midnight and then her birthday will be our Wedding Anniversary"
"Yeah, I suppose. God I can't believe I'm going to have my girl in my arms sometime soon" said Rachel.
Monica, Phoebe, Joey and Chandler all entered the room, still in their Tux's and Bridesmaid Dresses. Joey was eating a slab of Mud Cake.
"Hi, How are you feeling?" said Monica as she entered with Isabella in her arms.
"Mommy" said Isabella, reaching out for Rachel.
"Hi Honey" said Rachel, giving the baby a kiss. "Like Crap, Hannah's definitely on her way, 7cm dilated"
"Hannah?" said Ross "We hadn't decided on that"
"Shut up" said Rachel, putting her hand in front of Ross's face.
"7 cm already?" exclaimed Phoebe "Your water broke like an hour ago"
"I know," said Rachel "And if things keep going this way we might have a baby tonight"
"We left everyone at the Plaza, Still partying" said Chandler.
"I don't see why we had to leave" said Joey "I mean it took like 47 hours last time, Who's to say it's going to be different this time. I could still be having fun"
"Joey you got your cake so stop complaining" said Phoebe.
"Oh isn't that nice. I'm lying here in pain and my family and friends are still enjoying themselves," said Rachel "Did you bring the presents?"
"No why?" asked Phoebe
"You left the presents there?" cried Rachel "What if people steal them?"
"Who is going to want to steal your wedding presents?" said Monica "You know everyone that's there"
"Well for starters that bitch from High School, what's her name? Sharon Wellington, I don't even know why I invited that kleptomaniac" said Rachel "She has serious problems"
She screwed her face up in pain and gripped Ross's Hand as another contraction controlled her body "Oww, Painkillers. Need Painkillers"
"Breath Honey, Just relax ok," said Ross, smoothing Rachel's hair "We'll worry about presents later. Let's concentrate on having our baby for now"
"Easy for you to say" snapped Rachel "You don't have to push this 7lb baby out your vagina. I'm going to need like 100 stitches if she's as big as they say. Maybe I should ask for a C-Section, Just cut me open and bring her on out"
Joey was turning slightly green, as he ate his cake "I think I'm gonna go outside for just a second" he said, before turning around and rushing out the room.
"Where's Emma, Riley, Lily and Dylan?" asked Ross.
"We left them with Mom and Dad, They decided they were going to go home and they asked if they could take them" said Monica. "Oh and Ben decided he would wait until tomorrow to see the baby, He didn't want to hang around for hours so we dropped him at Carol and Susan's"
"You left Mom and Dad in charge of 4 babies?" said Ross "Are you crazy?"
"I have a lot of faith in Jack and Judy," said Chandler "A whole lot of...non-faith"
"They're going to need a whole lot of luck with the mood Dylan was in when I left him," said Phoebe "He's teething, I think"
Rachel began to moan and breathe deeply as another contraction came "Oh god"
Ross rubbed her arm and breathed through it with her "Nearly over, nearly there"
"Why weren't you that supportive when I was in labour?" Monica asked Chandler "You were screaming every time I had a contraction"
"Was not!" said Chandler, He turned to Ross "Have you ever had those sympathy pains?"
Dr Long came in the check on Rachel.
"Just Mom and Dad in here for now please" she said. "Sorry Guys"
"That's ok," said Monica "I'll bring Bella back in when she's finished ok?"
"Thanks Mon" said Ross.
"Back soon Rach" said Phoebe "Have fun"
"Yeah" replied Rachel.
"How are you feeling Rachel?" asked Dr Long as she felt up underneath the sheets. "Wow, You're nearly 9cm now"
"I can't take this anymore" moaned Rachel "I need some painkillers or some thing. Just give me something to hurry her up a little bit"
"I'm afraid you are too far progressed for any painkillers," said Dr Long "You're going to have to grin and bare it"
"WHAT???" snapped Rachel.
"Rachel, You don't need painkillers," said Ross comfortingly "A natural childbirth is always best"
"What the hell do you know?" said Rachel angrily.
"Sorry!" said Ross, standing up and moving away from the bed.
"I'm sorry Rachel, but there's nothing we can do now," said Dr Long "I doubt that it will be much longer. I see you being 10cm within the hour"
"I knew I should have drunk at the reception. Then I would have been so wasted I wouldn't have felt a thing" said Rachel.
"Just for the record" said Ross to Dr Long "She goes a little crazy when she's in labour. She hasn't drunk alcohol the entire pregnancy and we are not bad parents"
Dr Long smiled. "I understand Rachel but just relax, breath through each contraction and get some rest now. I'll be back in another half hour"
"She knows nothing," said Rachel as Dr Long left the room.
"No, She's only a fantastic Obstetrician who successfully delivered your first daughter but she knows nothing at all," said Ross sarcastically.
"Do you want me to start on you too?" snapped Rachel "It's getting that way"
"No, Actually I'm just going to go outside for a minute" said Ross "Give you some space"
"No!! Don't leave me. I'm sorry for being a bitch. Just don't leave me to do this by myself" said Rachel apologetically.
"I was only joking. As if I would leave you by yourself. I don't want to miss one second of this," said Ross, sitting on the edge of her bed and taking her hand. "My wife's about to have a baby. I can call you my wife now. Everyone this is my Wife Rachel, Not my fiancée Rachel. My Wife"
"Great, Now get over it. You've got many more years to practice that," said Rachel "If we last that long"
"What are you talking about?" asked Ross.
"Nothing, I'm just joking. Relax Hubby" replied Rachel, with a smile on her face.
She cried out in agony "Oh another one Ross" "Why are you doing this to me? If it weren't for me you wouldn't even exist and this is how you repay me?"
"Me?" asked Ross, as he rubbed her back.
"No, Her" said Rachel, pointing at her stomach.
"We'll have to wait a few hours and then we'll ask her why she did it ok?" said Ross.
(2 hours later - Rachel has been moved to the delivery suite after reaching 10cm. The gang are waiting anxiously in the waiting room)
"Hey Joe" said Chandler
"Yeah?" replied Joey.
Chandler came closer and whispered in his ear "Did you get Playboy this month?"
Joey smiled and said loudly "No I didn't get Playboy this month Chandler. Buy it yourself"
"Sshhh" said Chandler, looking towards Monica who was greasing him. "Do you not understand the concept of whispering?"
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realise that's why you were whispering," said Joey "Because you hide things from your wife"
"I do not hide things from me wife. Joey!!!" said Chandler, rushing over to Monica's side.
Joey let out an evil laugh.
"You are so evil sometimes," said Phoebe, putting her arms around Joey's waist and looking towards where Chandler was explaining himself to Monica.
"I know. But you love me for it?" said Joey.
"You betcha" replied Phoebe. "God, I'm bored!"
Joey looked around him "There's a storage cupboard over there" he said with a wink. "What do ya say?"
Phoebe giggled and led him over to the cupboard.
(Delivery Suite)
Dr Long and Ross are coaching Rachel through the delivery.
Rachel is lying on the exam bed, with Ross holding one of her legs and herself holding the other. She is pushing down with all her might but not much is happening.
"Ready. Now push. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" said Dr Long
"Come on Honey, Push" coached Ross.
"I am frigging pushing," snapped Rachel, her face covered in sweat. She began to put her Lamaze breathing into practice.
"That's right. Just like we practiced," said Ross demonstrating the breathing.
"Rachel, Nothing is happening. You're going to have to push much harder now," said Dr Long "The baby is getting stressed"
"I'm pushing as hard as I can," cried Rachel, biting down on her lip in pain.
"Just stop for a second," said Dr Long.
Rachel stopped pushing her whole body immediately relaxed on the table. Ross wiped her face with a damp washcloth. "Rachel, You're doing great Honey"
"You think?" said Rachel. She was exhausted.
Dr Long got up and moved over to the Foetal Monitor, which was monitoring the baby's heartbeat etc. through some pads that were placed on Rachel's bulging stomach.
"What's the matter?" said Rachel anxiously "Is there something wrong?"
"The baby is getting very stressed out," said Dr Long returning to the end of the bed. "You're going to have to give it your best shot now Rachel because if she isn't delivered in 5 minutes, I may have to perform a C- Section"
"Ok. Ok I can do it," said Rachel
"Good. The next contraction should be in about 15 seconds so when that hits I want you to push as hard as you can ok? Ross, You need to support her back ok?"
"Ok" said Ross, putting one arm behind Rachel whilst holding her leg with the other.
"Ready?" said Dr Long.
"Ohhh Jesus" cried Rachel as the contraction hit. She pushed as hard as she could. Ross was coaching her "Come on Rach, You're doing great"
"That's great Rachel, She's crowning" said Dr Long, reaching for one of those blue blanket things.
"I can't. I need to stop," said Rachel, out of breath. "We can't stop Rachel. We need to get her out," said Dr Long "Push"
Rachel pushed down, clamping her hand on Ross's shoulder and digging her nails in.
"The heads out" announced Dr Long.
"It is?" said Ross excitedly, moving down for a look. "Oh my god that's gross"
Rachel tried to raise her body up to try and see but couldn't find the energy.
"One more push and she'll be here," said Dr Long.
"One more Honey. This is it," said Ross, kissing her cheek. "I know you can do it"
"I can do it," said Rachel.
She pushed so hard that her veins were popping out her temples until a sweet sound was heard. The Baby Girl had a big set of lungs and her cries filled the room.
Dr Long took her over to the incubator just to quickly check her before she was presented to Mom and Dad.
"Oh my god" said Rachel tearfully "It's over"
"It's over Honey and I'm so proud of you," said Ross, kissing her gently.
"Here she is" announced Dr Long.
"Oh she's amazing," said Ross.
Dr Long placed the baby in Rachel's Arms. Rachel burst into tears as soon as she held her.
"Hey Little Girl" said Rachel. "What time is it?"
"It's 11:56pm," said Dr Long.
"She made it," said Ross, kissing his Newborn. "Minutes before the stroke of Mid Night"
Rachel was staring down at the bay, stroking her soft skin.
"She's very beautiful," said Ross "Just like her Mommy"
"She's perfect," said Rachel "I can't believe she's here"
"Does she have a name yet?" asked Dr Long, standing next to the happy family.
"We haven't quite decided yet," said Rachel "What does Daddy think?"
"Dad thinks she looks like a little Alyssa Caitlin," said Ross.
"Alyssa Caitlin" pondered Rachel, looking at the newborn's face.
"I think that's perfect," she said, kissing Ross "Alyssa Caitlin Geller. Ally for short"
"Hi Alyssa" said Ross "Nice to finally meet you"
The baby opened her eyes and looked at her parents.
"She's got her mommy's eyes," said Ross.
"And hopefully her Daddy's heart" said Rachel "Thankyou Ross"
"What for?" he asked.
"For this!" said Rachel "Everything, My dream wedding today, our children. It's just amazing"
"You are very welcome," said Ross
(Half an hour later)
Rachel is in her room; in bed holding Alyssa with Isabella sitting next to her staring at the new member of the family while Ross is taking happy snaps.
"Isabella, This is your baby sister Alyssa," said Rachel
Isabella leaned over and looked at the baby as if she was deciding wether to like her or not.
"Can you give Alyssa a kiss Isabella?" asked Ross, demonstrating.
Isabella slowly kissed Alyssa on the head.
"Ohh, That was nice" said Ross "I think they're gonna be fine"
Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey knocked on the door. They wanted to meet the baby.
"Wow" said Monica as she entered the room and saw the new family "This is amazing"
"Another beautiful girl" said Phoebe.
"Everyone, this is Alyssa Caitlin Geller" announced Ross. "Ally for short"
"Hi Alyssa" said Joey "I'm your Uncle Joey and if you want any advice about life, I'm the man to see"
"Sure you are Honey," said Phoebe "This is coming from a guy who didn't even know how long a decade was"
Rachel laughed. "I'm still spun out" said Rachel "A marriage and a baby on the same day"
"It is pretty special," said Chandler.
"I don't think it could have worked out any better," said Ross.
"Me neither" replied Rachel, kissing the baby's head. "I couldn't be any happier right now, Surrounded by all the people I love"
"That's sweet," said Monica.
"I mean it, I want to thank you guys for how amazing and supportive you've been during these last 2 years. I don't think that I could have coped throughout my first pregnancy without you and I'm so glad that you are here with me second time around. And also for everything with the Wedding Plans. I'm sure Ross feels the same"
"Absolutely. We couldn't have done everything without your encouragement etc. It means a lot to us, having you here" said Ross.
"Aww thanks" said Monica. "Now can I please hold my niece?"
Rachel laughed and handed Alyssa to Monica "I was waiting for you to say that"
Well that's it. This is the final chapter so I hope you enjoyed reading my fan fiction as much as I enjoyed writing it. I'm debating wether to continue on with this series or not so if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please Review and let me know. Thanks heaps
