Chapter 5: Come Back To Me

Rachel moaned softly as she opened her eyes. She saw her four friends all looking down at her. "Wh...what happened" she whispered as she slowly sat up. She suddenly remembered what happened "Oh my God Ross" she cried. "Its okay Rach" Chandler said softly. "Ross is okay" he said. "But the...the alarms" she whispered. "I watch ER I...I know that's never a good sign" Chandler smiled "Don't I know it" he said "You, Mon and Pheebs take over the tv and the sofa every Thursday night" he chuckled. "Ross's heart rate did drop but they got him stabilized again" he told her. She sighed with relief. "I...I need to be with him" she whispered as she stood up.

The gang watched her leave with out saying a word. She stood outside the door to Ross's room for a minute before going in. She walked up to his bed and sat on the edge. "Ross" she whispered "I know you can hear me" she said. "Please come back to us" she said starting to cry. She lightly touched his face. "I love you Ross" she leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his lips. She gently laid her head on his chest. Silent tears ran down her face as she closed her eyes and listened to the beating of his heart.

She fell asleep. She dreamed about Ross. He was wearing a tux and smiling. She was in a beautiful white dress. She was walking toward him when he was suddenly pulled away. She reached for him and screamed his name but he was pulled away until he was gone. "Ross" she screamed as she sat up. When she heard the humming of the machines she knew it had been a dream she was still in Ross's room by his side. She took a hold of his hand. She sat there holding his hand and watching him. "I know you're going to wake up and I'll stay right here with you until you do" she whispered.

Rachel kept her promise and stayed by Ross's side and when she did leave to check on Emma or get some rest she made sure Chandler, Monica, Joey, or Pheebs stayed with him until she returned. She spent time talking to him about Emma, Ben and their friends. She told him she loved him all the time and asked him to open her eyes on a regular basis.

One night she was sitting with him watching tv when she swore she heard him mumble. "Ross" she whispered. "Rachel" he mumbled as his eyes slowly opened. She smiled when she saw his brown eyes looking back at her. "Hey you" se whispered. "You gave us quite a scare" she said. "Mon, baby" he asked with a scratchy voice as he struggled to sit up. "Shh its okay lay back down" she said softly "They're both fine" she assured him. Rachel looked at him. She had to tell him before something else happened. "Ross" she said. "There's something I have to tell you" Ross nodded "Okay what" he whispered hoarsely.

Rachel took a deep breath. "Ross I" She was interrupted by a woman's voice. "Ross sweetie you're awake" She looked over and saw that Sam woman he came in to Central Perk with that day. Sam walked over to Ross's bed. "Oh honey I was so worried about you" she said as she leaned down and placed a kiss on his lips. She sat down by him and took his hand. Rachel felt like crying. "Why'd she have to show up now" she thought.

Ross looked over at Rachel "Rach what was it you wanted to tell me" he asked. "I umm, you know its nothing it can wait" she whispered. "I'll give you two some time together" she said sadly as she stood up and left. Ross sighed softly as he watched her leave. Sam smiled "They have the funniest little man subbing for you" she giggled. "Uh huh" he said softly his eyes still fixed on the door.
