"Rachel this is HUGE, this is bigger than huge this is. well. enormous!"
"No, it's not, it's really really seriously not! I mean. it can't be." Rachel looked down at her water, trying not to show that she agreed.
"Well Rachel it is and now what are you going to do about this? You can't ignore it, it's happened and what about Ross, what about Emma? What were you thinking about?"
"Mon. not helping. Ooooobvoiusly I wasn't thinking, I was drunk. And well all I can remember is we had a few drinks and started talking and then I woke up in bed."
Rachel sighed she knew Monica was right. this was HUGE! She never really stopped loving Ross, she tried but something in her always buried those feelings. And now with Emma - she had to think about Emma, think about their daughter and what it would do to her if they started a relationship again. She just couldn't do it, couldn't go through all that again. and if it didn't work, again, then what affect would it have on Emma? There was another person in the mix now, another little person with thoughts and feelings and an innocent little heart that she did NOT want to hurt.
Monica brought Rachel out her of thoughts. "Hello in there? Did I lose ya?"
"Sorry Mon, I'm thinking. You know I just can't I can't get back in a relationship with him again. What if it doesn't work? Then what?"
Monica glared at her friend and came close to yelling: "Well sweetie, you should have thought of that! What is this going to do to Ross? You can't do this to him again!" She turned towards the counter, not wanting to yell at her friend.
Monica didn't notice but at that moment, Rachel's eyes began to fill with tears - she held back the lump in her throat and fought to control her emotions.
Monica didn't get it. Why was Rachel so scared of this? Sure Rach was her best friend and she loved her more than anything in the world but Ross was her brother and she hated seeing him in so much pain. She knew he had never stopped loving Rachel, everyone did. except for Rachel herself. And Ross had his feeling so buried that even he thought he didn't love her anymore but she knew he did. And now with a child and all, you'd think they'd see even more how they are meant for each other. what a perfect family they would make.
Monica sighed, got up from the table and poured herself and Rachel some coffee. She passed her the mug and started on those pancakes.
ROSS'S APARTMENT
Ross woke up with a sharp pain in his head. He closed his eyes tight and tried to figure out why he had such a headache. He didn't want to think about the night before. He and Charlie had had a huge fight and she broke things off with him.
"What is the matter with me?" he muttered as he struggled to get out of bed.
He remembered how upset he had been at first and surprised that after the initial shock, he didn't really care. Sure she was a great woman and they had a lot in common. maybe too much he reasoned. Things were just not meant to be, no one was as great as Rachel and no matter what he had to bury those feelings for the sake of their daughter. That and he didn't want to lose Rachel from his life completely. He knew if he brought up his feelings she would freak out and things would get all tense and weird and Emma didn't need to be around that. All that mattered was his daughter and he never wanted her to feel uncomfortable if her parents were in the same room.
He looked around for a moment and realized someone had slept on the other side of his bed last night. He thought hard but could not remember anything after meeting up with Rachel in Central Perk. He remembered going there after his break up with Charlie hoping to find Chandler or even Joey. The only one there was Rachel - she was sitting on the couch reading and drinking coffee. He told her what happened and she seemed concerned and suggested they hit a local bar and have a few drinks. He didn't remember much after that. He didn't think he had come home with Rachel because she was so adamant about just being friends. Had he come home with someone else? He must have and since he couldn't remember so, he decided to shake it off for the time being and got up to get some coffee.
