The One All About Ross and Rachel
Disclaimer: Friends is mine! I wish, LOL. Nah, Friends ain't mine, and
neither are the characters. If the characters were mine, boy, Ross and
Rachel would have gotten together 19 years ago.
Spoilers: None, I think
Distributor: Don't please, until you ask me
Pairings: Ross/Rachel (duh!), Chandler/Monica, Joey/Phoebe
A/N-This is only about the third Friends fan fic I have tried, so if I have portrayed people inaccurately, I'm sorry.
Here's the scoop-Chandler and Monica are still trying for a baby, Joey and Rachel never had feelings for each other or anything and Charlie doesn't exist, Joey and Phoebe don't want to admit it but they have feelings for each other, Ross and Rachel both still love each other (LOBSTERS FOREVER) but neither one thinks the other shares the love. That's pretty much it in a nutshell!
Chapter Two-The One where Everyone Talks and Cries
Ross followed the doctor to Rachel's room. He had asked Monica to let him go in first. The clicks and whirs of machines could be heard, but he ignored them. Ross pulled a chair beside the bed and sat down. He took Rachel's hand and his eyes swept over her. She looked so still and beautiful.
[Scene: Outside the Nursery, Ross is looking at Emma as Phoebe walks up.] Phoebe: Is she in there? Ross: Yeah. She's putting her down now, that's her. (Points to the nurse putting Emma now.) Phoebe: Oh! Ross: Look at Emma! Phoebe: I just can't decide who she looks more alike, you or Rachel? Ross: Oh what are you kidding? She's gorgeous, it's all Rachel. (Pause) Phoebe: I'm sorry, for the last time, why aren't you two together again? (Silence from Ross.) No, I know. I know, because you're not in that place. Which would be fine, except you totally are. Ross: It's...it's complicated okay? Phoebe: Yeah that's true. Yeah, you love her. You always have. You have a child together. There is no right answer. Ross: Look, we've been together. Okay? And then apart, and then together, and then apart, and now we have a baby. (Pause) It's just if-if we got together again and it didn't work out...I could never do that to Emma. I mean she-she thinking everything -- (Starts to cry.) Oh that's...now me. What do they put something in the water in this place? Since Rachel and I we're doing really, we're doing really well right now. Phoebe: I know. I know. I know. I know, and if you try to make it more you might wreck it. Ross: Yeah, exactly. Phoebe: Right. (Pause) Or you might get everything you've wanted since you were fifteen.
"Rachel, it's me, Ross. Please, please wake up. I need you and Emma needs you. Don't worry about her right now though, she's fine. She's going to be with Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe. Mon's here with me, let me go get her." Ross stood up and walked over to the door. He stuck his head out and motioned to his sister. Monica came into the room and pulled a chair up next to Ross's.
"Rachel, it's Monica. Sweetie, we want you here with us. Emma needs you and so does everyone else. Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe were here but they went to take care of Emma. Your mom and dad both can't be here, we were just dumped with a load of snow. Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe will get to the apartment okay though." Ross and Monica took turns talking to Rachel, but there were no changes. Monica dozed off finally at 3:00 in the morning, but Ross kept an all night vigil by Rachel's bed.
When the first rays of sunlight shone through the window, Monica blinked and instantly she was awake. She didn't move though. Ross was talking to Rachel still but Monica could hear in her brother's voice his weariness. It was apparent from his blood shot eyes he hadn't gotten any sleep.
"Rachel, hon, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe are going to be here soon, with Emma. They'll want to talk to you to. We all love you and we want you here. When you wake up, we're going to talk. Please wake up." Ross glanced over at Monica and noticed she was awake.
"Chandler just called. He, Joey, and Phoebe spent most of the night talking. They're bringing Emma in with them soon." Monica nodded. She started to say something in reply, but then a doctor came into the room.
"Um, did either of you know that Rachel is pregnant?" Monica's jaw dropped. "She, that's impossible. Rachel would have told me if she had been seeing someone," Monica sputtered.
"How, how far along is she?"
"About five weeks. I'll leave you alone for awhile." Monica watched Ross, confused, as he counted something on his fingers.
"Five weeks? Did he say five?"
"No Ross. You didn't."
"You and Chandler were watching Emma and we had both had really bad dates at the same restaurant. We got to talking and drinking and then we went back to my apartment."
"Ross! How could you?"
"How could he what?" Monica looked up and tried to smile a little at her husband. He was holding Emma, who was asleep on his shoulder.
"Get Rachel pregnant again."
"No way! How come I don't have any babies?" Joey asked. Monica glared at him.
"What?" Ignoring Joey, Chandler spoke up.
"Had she told you yet?" Ross shook his head.
"I don't even know if she knew yet." Ross trembled.
"Well Rachel, now you know. You're having a baby. Emma here wants you to wake up," Chandler said, choked up. He tried to think of something to say to lighten the mood but there were no words that were right.
"Rachel, this is so uncool. Remember when that old lady died when I was giving her a massage? Well if your spirit went into me, I couldn't sleep with Ross. So you have to wake up and have his baby. This is big, 'cause don't forget, your his lobster!"
"Uh Pheebs, we didn't need that right now," Chandler cut in.
"Hey Rachel. How you doin'?" Everyone turned to glare at Joey.
"What? I wanted to see if I turned her on?"
"Get out Joey. Get out of here right now," Ross snapped. "This isn't funny. Sometimes you are so stupid you don't know when to say the inappropriate stuff and when not to. If you couldn't tell, this is a when not to. Get out!" Joey glanced at Ross, a little hurt. Still he backed up until he was out of the room.
"Uh, Phoebe and I will be going now," Chandler said quickly. He handed Emma to Monica and hurriedly exited the room with Phoebe.
"Ross, what was that about?"
"I don't know. I just, he-" Monica rested one hand on Ross's shoulder and set Emma down beside Rachel.
"Hey Rach, it's Monica again. I guess you heard you're pregnant again. I've got Emma here beside you. That's neat, I'll be an Auntie again. But we need you awake so we can talk about the baby." Monica stood up and walked out to the hall where Joey, Chandler, and Phoebe were talking quietly. They all sat down on the floor and began to cry.
