Chapter 7

"Ross...we need to tell him..." Rachel whispered.

"He'll find out when the time comes that he needs to

know..." Ross replied, even though he barely agreed with

the statement. He knew Chandler needed to know about

what had happened but...he really didn't want to be the

one to break the news.

"Fine...but it will be worse if he finds out ten years

down the road," she said. She picked up Emma and held

the baby in her arms, looking down at her sweet,

sleeping face.

"You really are a cute mom." Ross said, beaming at

the fact that both his child and the mother of his

child were so beautiful.

"Thanks. You're a cute mom too." Rachel laughed.

Chandler walked out of the bathroom, holding the

newspaper in his hand. Rachel got up to put Emma away

and Ross buried his face in his magazine, Paleontology

Weekly.

"What's up with you guys? You're acting almost as

strange as Monica..." Chandler said, putting the

newspaper on the kitchen table.

"Strange? How are we acting strange?" Rachel asked,

while walking across the room quickly.

"Like that...walking so fast, ignoring me when I look

at you or come in the room...am I getting fat or

something??" Chandler looked down at his stomach.

"No, you're not getting fat. But man, by the

structure of this T-Rex they found in here...I think he

ate a few too many Krispy Kremes if you know what I

mean..." Ross said, laughing at his own joke. Rachel and

Chandler stared at him, and he slid down on the couch.

"It's nothing Chandler. We've just both had a lot of

caffeine today." Rachel said, folding a towel and

putting it on the kitchen counter.

"Ok...whatever..." he said, then walked back into another

room.

**************************************

"Yes, this is Joey Tribbiani." He said tentatively.

He almost knew for sure that it was the hospital

calling to say something terrible happened.

"Mr. Tribbiani, this is A.S.C. Acting Company. We

just wanted to congratulate your for your success in

the audition you participated in yesterday." A

soft-spoken woman said.

"WHOOOO HOOOOOOOO!" Joey yelled, jumping up out of

his bed.

"We'll see you tomorrow at noon for a reading of the

script!" the woman said, then hung up.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWYEAH!!!!" he screamed, then ran out of

his apartment in his boxers to go tell Monica and

Chandler.
