This story takes place 3 years after the end of Chapter 4. I hope you
like it, and please review!!!! (
Oh yeah, and I don't own Friends.
Monica is in her apartment when Rachel walks in, carrying Emma.
"Hey Mon. How's Kristy?" asks Rachel as she walks in.
Monica smiles, thinking of how much she loves little Kristy. She and Chandler had had a little girl, Kristina Camryn Bing, and they both loved her unconditionally.
"Oh, she's fine. She's in her room, if Emma wants to play," Monica replies.
Wriggling herself out of Rachel's arms, Emma exclaims,
"Yeah, I want to play with Kristy!"
Rachel laughs at her daughter, and watches her run into her former bedroom.
"So, Rachel, I'm so happy for you and Ross! I can't believe you're getting married!" exclaims Monica.
"Yes, I know. It's really exciting, isn't it? I just know it's going to work this time.I can feel it. And it's going to be so great for Emma, to have her parents married." Rachel replies.
Monica walks to the fridge and pulls out some ice tea for her and Rachel. While filling the glasses, she says,
"Have you set a date for the wedding yet?"
"Monica! Geez, I've been engaged for like a day, of course I haven't!" Rachel says.
"Oh. I'm.sorry?"
"Oh, don't be. It's going to be on August 15th."
Monica rolls her eyes at Rachel, thinking that even she, Monica, wouldn't have her wedding day picked out on her first day of being engaged.
Joey loved waking up with Lauren by his side. It was comforting to him to have her warm body there. On his wedding day, Joey was overloaded with happiness, and ever since then, every day had been the best of his life. Joey was extremely grateful to be spending his life with a girl like Lauren.
"I love you, Lauren," whispers Joey.
"I know, Joey," Lauren replies, sounding annoyed. Lauren truly did love Joey with all her heart, but lately, it seemed like he was really smothering her with the constant "I love you-s" She figured she should be grateful he loved her so much, and knew there were wives who never got told "I love you," but still, it sort of got on her nerves.
"I love you too, Joey, and I really wish I could stay, but I have work," says she. Lauren groans as she gets out of bed, and heads for the shower. Joey watches her leave in only her bra and thong, thinking, "Damn, my wife is hot!"
"Laur, I have an audition and I'm gonna be late, so I've got to go, and I'll see you tonight," shouts Joey.
"Ok, great. Have a good day.bye!" Lauren shouts back from the shower.
Phoebe woke up late, having slept in. She noticed Kyle wasn't in the bed, and he wasn't in the apartment either. In the kitchen, making breakfast, Phoebe spots a note taped to the fridge. Phoebe, I've gone to work early, and will be home around five or six. I'm taking you out for dinner at the Boardwalk Café, so make sure you look pretty! ;) (Not that you already aren't) If you want to call me, my work number is 585- 7824. I'm looking forward to seeing you tonight, and I'll miss you every moment today. Love, Kyle.
Phoebe smiled; Kyle was such a sweetie and she loved him so much. Suddenly remembering she had promised Monica she'd baby-sit Kristy, Phoebe hurriedly got dressed and caught a cab to Mon's building. As she waited to be buzzed in, Joey came walking out the door.
"Hey, Phoebe. You here to see Monica?" he asks.
"Yeah. Baby-sitting Kristy," replies Phoebe, quickly.
Things had been weird between Joey and Phoebe the past few years, ever since that phone call where he told her he loved her. Phoebe knew it was mostly in a friendly way, but deep, deep down they both wished it were more than that. "Ok, well, bye!" Phoebe says, cheerily.
"See you later," says Joey, hailing a cab.
Rachel and Emma leave Monica's after lunch, and Rachel can't wait to get home. Ever since Ross proposed, she looks forward the whole day to seeing him again.
"Hey you," Rachel coos at Ross.
"Hi Rach. You have a good day?" asks Ross.
"Yep, even better now with you," she replies.
Smiling, Ross passionately kisses Rachel. A disgusted Emma sees, and runs off to her room thinking, "Yuck."
Ring, ring, ring, ring. It was the phone. Picking it up, Rachel greets,
"Hello?"
"Hello, Rachel? It's Lauren."
"Oh, Lauren, hi. How are you?"
"I'm good. Congratulations on the proposal," says Lauren.
"Oh, thank you." Rachel replies.
"Anyway, I just called to ask.about Joey. Um, with any of his past girlfriends, did he.was he.did he, like, smother them?" Lauren asks.
"What, with like a pillow or something?" asks Rachel.
"Oh, no, no. Like the other way.relationship-wise."
"Oh. Oh, no way. He was never with a girl long enough to smother her! Oops.shouldn't have said that," says Rachel, stupidly.
"Really? Oh. Ok, um.Rachel, I know we're not really that close, but I did something really stupid, and I think I should tell someone, so it might as well be you," Lauren says, uncomfortably.
"Ok, shoot. What is it?"
"Well, you know Joey's being awfully smother-y, he's constantly telling me how much he loves me, and it's sweet and everything, but man, enough is enough. So, today, at work, I was feeling.well, I don't know how I was feeling, or what I was thinking, but I.I kissed a guy," admits Lauren.
"You mean Joey?" Rachel asks.
"No, I mean I kissed another man.a man who is not Joey," she stammers.
"Oh. Oh my god. How could you.he's going to die, he loves you so much. How are you going to tell him?"
"Actually, I was thinking of.not."
"Lauren, I'm not going to get in the middle of this. Personally, I think you should tell Joey. I won't, but I seriously think you should."
"I know I should. It's just so hard. I didn't mean to hurt him, and I do, really love him so much, and I don't want to hurt him."
"Then why did you do it?" Rachel asks.
"I don't know. I guess because I am a stupid, stupid woman who doesn't deserve such a loving husband."
"Come on, Lauren. Don't beat yourself up. It was just one kiss, I'm sure he'll understand, you just need to explain to him how you're feeling."
"Ok. I will, as soon as I see him next.I better have lots of sandwiches and beer read," says Lauren, " Thanks, Rachel. You're a really good friend. Thanks for helping me."
"Oh, no problem. Bye!" Rachel hangs up the phone.
Walking to the living room, Rachel sits down next to Ross, who is watching TV.
"Lauren cheated on Joey," she blurts out.
"What? That's awful!!" Ross replies.
"I know. And it just reminds me, that you did it to me. Ross, would you ever cheat on me? Again?"
"Rach, we've talked about this. No. Absolutely not, not in a million years. I love you so much, and you love me, and I would never, ever do anything to ruin that.especially now that we're engaged and have Emma," soothes Ross.
"Oh, thanks Ross. It makes me feel so much better when you say that."
"I love you, Rachel. I love you more than anything in the world," he says.
All of the gang, including Lauren and Kyle, are sitting around Central Perk. Lauren explained to Joey about the kiss, and how incredibly sorry she was, and after a few hours, he understood and forgave her, and promised to lay off a bit.
"Everybody, Kyle and I have an announcement!" exclaims Phoebe.
Looking excited, Phoebe takes Kyle's hand and says,
"We're engaged! Kyle asked me to marry him!" she yells.
"Really? / That's great! " from everybody.
"I'm thinking the 15th of August would be a great day to get married," says Phoebe.
"Um Pheebs? That's my wedding day!" Rachel exclaims.
"Oh! Double wedding! It'll be so much fun!" Phoebe says.
In unison, Ross and Rachel say,
"NO!"
Ok, that's the end. I don't know if you liked it or not, so please review. There probably won't be another chapter, but I can always add another.if you like it. So PLEASE review!!!! (
