Chapter 1: TOW Realizations

Joey knocked on Rachel's door. She opened it. She smiled. He reached out and lightly touched her face then he leaned in and kissed her. They continued to kiss as they backed into the room shutting the door. They kept backing up until they reached the bed. They fell onto it. Joey began to run his fingers through her hair as he moved to her neck kissing it softly. Rachel sighed softly. "Mmm Ross" she moaned. Joey stopped kissing her and looked down at her. "What" Rachel asked confused. "You just called me Ross" Joey said sitting up.

Rachel sat up too. "No I didn't why...why would I do that" she said. "Oh maybe because you're still in love with him" he answered. "But I can't be" she whispered. "Of course you could Rach you guys went out for two years, you have Emma together and Pheebs is convinced he's your lobster" he said with a little grin. "Oh my God I think maybe I do" Rachel stated. "But what if he doesn't feel the same" she asked. Joey thought back to the kiss he saw between Ross and Charlie. "You have to go talk to him Rach" he told her. She nodded. "I'm so sorry Joey I never meant to hurt you" she said softly. "You'll find someone she's out there waiting for you" she said as she kissed his cheek. She got up and left in search for Ross.

Ross and Charlie giggled as they hid behind the potted plants trying to avid being thrown in the pool by the other paleontologists. Before they knew it they were sharing an incredible kiss. "Wow you're a great kisser" Charlie giggled. "You ain't seen nothing yet" he giggled pulling her close and kissing her again. "Mmm Ross" she whispered. "Oh Rachel" he moaned. Charlie pulled away. "Rachel!" she shouted "No I'm Charlie!" she hissed. "I should have known you were still hung up on her" she said. He looked at her. "Oh yeah Joey told me all about you two!" she told him. "So why aren't you two together its obvious you're still in love with her" she asked. "Because she wants to be just friend who have a baby together" he said. "Well why don't you go find her and tell her you still love her" she suggested. "Look Charlie I'm sorry I led you on but I really do like you maybe we could be friends" Ross said. She smiled "Sure I'd like that" she said kissing his cheek.

Rachel was looking for Ross when she went to the game room. Chandler and Mike were playing ping pong. Phoebe was cheering Mike on and Monica was holding her wrist. "Hey Mon love the hair" Rachel giggled. "Oh shut up" Monica whined. Come on honey team Monica always wins" she yelled at Chandler. "So umm Mon have you seen Ross" Rachel asked. "Nope not since his speech why" Monica questioned. "I need to talk to him" she said. "I want to see if maybe he wanted to start things up again" she told her.

Monica looked at her. "What about Joey" she asked. "Well we were kissing and" Monica stopped her. "Whoa you kissed Joey!" She nodded "Yeah but I called him Ross, I still love him Mon I want to be with him" she said. "Aww this is so great!" Monica said hugging her. "So what happened to your wrist" Rachel asked. "I was trying to hit the ball and ran my hand into the table" she answered.

Ross walked around hoping to run into Rachel but he ran into Joey instead. "Hey Ross did Rachel find you?" he asked "No, why was she looking for me" Ross asked. "I umm I don't know but I think it was pretty important" he said. "Okay last time you said that she told me she was pregnant" Joey shrugged "Just go find her okay" Ross nodded. "Okay" he said as he walked away.

Ross walked into the game room. Chandler and Mike were still playing ping pong, Monica was holding her wrist and she Phoebe and Rachel were laughing. He watched Rachel laugh. Her eyes sparkled when she laughed and she was even more beautiful now. He walked over to them. "Hey" he said. Monica smiled "Hi Ross" she giggled. "Bye Ross" Phoebe giggled as she pulled Monica away. "Hey Rachel" Ross said softly. "Hi Ross" she whispered. "So where's Charlie" she asked. Ross shrugged "Don't know and don't care" Rachel looked at him "Ross I...I'm still in love with you" she said softly. "But if we're not in the same place I'll understand but I...I had to tell you" she rambled as she started to walk away.

Ross grabbed her arm "Rach wait" he whispered. He pulled her close and kissed her "I'm still in love with you too" he said. She smiled "So do you want to give us another try" she asked. He nodded "That's what I've always wanted" he said kissing her again.

"See she's his lobster" Phoebe giggled. "Aww" Monica gushed. "Its about time" Chandler commented hitting the ball. "I know man" Mike said hitting it back. Joey had been watching form the doorway. He was a little sad but he was also happy for his friends. He was the only one that didn't have someone. "I guess I'm just meant to be alone" he said softly. A pretty blonde walked by. Joey smiled "Then again maybe not" He ran over to the woman. "How you doin" he said. She smiled and the two of them walked off.
