After taking care of Emma, Rachel fell asleep. Even though it was only 3 in the afternoon, Rachel had felt more tired than she had ever felt in her life. She didn't feel like facing the world, so she slept. When she finally woke up, it was morning, late in the morning. While she was asleep, she had a strange dream. In this dream she was in her old apartment with Joey. Joey walked into her room, kissed her on her forehead and took Emma out of her crib. He then left the room, with Emma. When she woke up. She sat up in bed and thought about this dream. What did it mean? Joey takes Emma. Joey takes Emma, she thought about this for a while, then decided that she had to talk to Joey. She traveled to Joey's apartment, hoping that he had realized that she had left.
When she finally arrived at his apartment, she tried opening the door. It was locked. That's weird, Rachel thought to herself. Why is Joey's door locked. She decided to go to Central Perk and see if anyone was there. As Rachel stood outside of her favorite coffee shop, she could not force herself to go in. Everyone was there, and they were having what appeared to be a serious conversiation. Rachel guessed that it was about her. She couldn't make herself go in. Suddenly, Phoebe looked up, right at her, but strangely enough, Phoebe didn't yell and point like Rachel had expected. Phoebe just nodded and turned away, like she knew something.
Rachel decided that she didn't want to see everyone and she went back to Joey's apartment. Rachel was relieved that she had brought her old keys. She let herself into the apartment and sat down on a stool. She had decided to tell Joey that he was to be a father.
