Rachel walked into her new apartment, sat down and thought to herself, what did I do? She had to leave. It was almost as if she was hiding from her five best friends. She say down on the floor, holding Emma. She was half talking to Emma and half to herself when she said, "Don't worry, hun, we'll be ok by ourselves...mommy's gonna make everything ok for us...don't cry sweetie..." Rachel starts to cry.
The next morning, Rachel wasn't feeling as terrible as she did the night before, but she still was very upset, and didn't want to go to work. After she called in sick for work, she decided to unpack all of her boxes. There weren't many on account of the hurried decision she had made to leave. She thought about that night. She, Monica, Phoebe and Ross were sitting in Central Perk, talking about Phoebe's recent engagement to Mike. When Joey and Chandler came in, Rachel suddenly became very aware of herself and her hands started to sweat. She had been keeping a secret from Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross. She could never bring herself to actually tell anyone, and she had been keeping this secret for almost a month.
It happened about a month ago. Monica and Ross were out in Long Island visiting their parents. Chandler, Joey, Phoebe and Rachel all decided to have a night out. That night, none of them were very hungry, so they ended up in a bar.
Rachel heard Emma crying in the next room, so she pushed her thoughts aside and got up to take care of her baby. Soon, she thought, there will be another one. She felt her stomach, which was slightly bigger then normal, and left the room to fetch Emma.
