AN:

Thankyou's

I would like to thank each reviewer! Thankyou so much for you're constant praise, and honest opinions. This has never happened to me, but one reviewer by the name of anon told me she'd been through a similar experience, she also told me that I did a good job. If you're reading this, I was touched by that review, I was determined to try and portray everyone's role accurately. And by that review it showed me that it did, so I'm grateful. I'd like to thank my friends, all over Britain!. Sometimes I just phone them up to tell them how much review I've got for this story!

So thankyou everybody!

And here it is.

Behind Closed Doors

The Epilogue

Candles flickered.

The smell of fresh white lilies filled the small church.

It was 6 years later

At one end of the altar Ross Gellor stood nervously waiting for Rachel.

'Psst'

'Yes, Joey'

'How long did you say the ceremony would last?'

'I don't know Joe, as long as it does I guess, It could be awhile'

'Oh' Joey moaned

'Why' Ross glared at his best man

''Cause I'm hungry and I need the toilet'

Ross rolled his eyes 'Joey, didn't you go before we left my apartment?'

'I tried to' he whined 'but you were shouting at me to hurry up and I couldn't go'

'Whatever, I'm so glad I picked you as my best man' Ross said sarcastically

Joey's face softened, and his trademark grin -that led to many girls falling head over heels with him- widened.

'Thanks dude' he said touched

Ross rolled his eyes again, sometimes he just didn't get it. The violins started up indicating that the ceremony was about to begin.

'When I leave this ceremony' Ross thought 'I'm going to be married to Rachel Green'

The minister stood in front of Rachel & her father.

'Are you ready' he asked kindly

'Am I ready? Of course I'm damn well ready I've been ready since the day he asked me'

No, Rachel didn't say that but she wanted too. Instead she nodded at the minister.

Jess, 12 & Chloe, 19 walked down the aisle. Both were grinning with pride. They both wore beautiful strapless long lilac dresses. Both were holding white lilies in their hands.

Ross caught Chloe eye and winked at her.

Chloe winked back. They stood aside.

The congregation murmured in appreciation as Rachel, escorted by her father was led down the aisle.

Ross smiled, looking at his beautiful bride.

'I'm the luckiest man alive' he thought.

Rachel joined Ross the end of the altar.

'When I leave this church I'm going to be married to Ross. I'm going to be Mrs. Gellor.' Rachel thought happily.

The ceremony was beautiful. Ross & Rachel promised to love each other, for richer and poorer for better or worse. Until death did them part

Both knew deep down, what'd be the only way they could be parted.

Gentle, happy clapping rose as Ross gently kissed Rachel on the lips.

Chloe & Jess looked at each other happily.

They all could be a family.

'And now the groom. Mr Ross Gellor would like to give his speech' a man announced.

Ross took a nervous glance around the room. He wasn't too keen on everyone focusing on him. He put down his speech.

This speech was going to be from the heart.

He began.

'I know that I'm supposed to thank everyone individually, but I think that I'd like to thank everybody all together. As I want to focus on my bride right now and my new family' he said softly. He looked at Rachel who beamed with pride & happiness. He looked at Chloe & Jess who were trying to settle down Josh & Jenna, who were busy little active toddlers.

'Not a lot of you here today know just how strong of a family these people are. And I'm not going to go into it right as is isn't my business too. I remember when I thought about proposing to Rachel they'res were other people's thoughts I had to consider as well. Not just Rachel but her children Chloe and Jessica. And then I had to consider Chloe's daughter & son. So eventually I asked what Chloe & Jessica thought of it and they were thrilled, they told me they knew how much I loved Rachel so I had to go for it. And I did' he smiled at his wife.

'And now today I know that I'm the happiest man alive and I'm so happy we have 2 beautiful children & two beautiful grandchildren, I don't think life could get any better'

The rest of the afternoon went on with dessert and laughter and chat.

That night the evening disco went on.

Ross & Rachel swayed as they danced to 'their' song.

Chloe sat next to Jess at a table, sighing happily seeing her mother & her dad swaying happily, hey looked lost in their own world.

'If it isn't one of the beautiful bridesmaids' said a familiar voice

Chloe jumped up and leapt into Kyle's arms.

'You looked amazing today, babes' he said

'Why, thankyou' Chloe said grinning, after they pulled away from an intense kiss. 'You don't look to bad yourself'

Kyle laughed, and kissed her on the cheek.

Jess rolled her eyes, as far as she was concerned all the lovey-dovey were so boring.

'Hey, Jess' Kyle said to the younger bridesmaid.

'Hi' Jess said deadpan

Chloe rolled her eyes, at Kyle.

'Daddy, daddy' a female, childlike voice squealed.

Kyle turned around with a grin, Jenna bounded up to him, and launched herself into his arms.

'Hey, Jenna' Kyle said softly.

Almost 3 months had passed, since Chloe had witnessed the kiss of Ross & Rachel on the balcony. That was when she met Kyle, he was also waiting for a counselling session, his parents had died. For 6 weeks, they'd have brief chats in the waiting room. Finally, to Chloe's delight, Kyle had asked her out on a date.

It wasn't the most romantic of dates, They'd gone to Chuck E Cheese with Joshua & Jenna, but the chemistry between Chloe & Kyle had definitely been there. It wasn't too long before they'd officially become a couple.

Kyle had also hit it of with Joshua & Jenna, When Chloe had turned 18, they'd decided to move into a flat together.

They'd now been living happily for under a year.

Which had prompted him to what he was about to do.

The only person who didn't know it was Chloe.

Kyle excused himself, and went on the stage, he pulled Chloe, reluctantly with him.

He called for everyone's attention.

First of all her congratulated Mr & Mrs. Gellor

He mentioned how beautiful the bridesmaids were.

Then it was time.

He looked into Chloe's eyes, and grassed her hands in his.

'I the years I've known Chloe, she has never failed to amaze me, she's a fantastic mother, and a brilliant friend. I never thought I'd feel this way about a girl. But then I thought I'd never meet anyone like Chloe'

Chloe smiled through her misty eyes. She still had no idea.

Kyle slowly lowered down on one knee, Chloe gasped, and her tears flowed.

He pulled out the box.

'Chloe, since the first time I met you knew you were the one, you make me happier than I ever could of imagined, Will you make me the happiest man alive and agree to be my wife?'

The hall was silent. Ross & Rachel holding hands grinned at each other.

It was barely a squeak, but it was an answer.

'Yes'

Kyle burst into tears, a he slowly slipped the beautiful ring on her finger.

The hall burst into applause

He jumped up and they shared a passionate kiss.

Chloe stared at her family, they were back home.

Joshua & Jenna were sleeping peacefully, in their room.

The next day, another surprise. Jess, Ross, Rachel, Chloe, Kyle, Jenna & Joshua, would be going to Disneyland, Florida together.

Kyle sneaked behind his fiancée and kissed her on the cheek. 'Fancy some champagne?'

'Definitely'

The couple sat down a few minutes, later.

'I propose a toast' Kyle announced

'To the future'

'To the future' she repeated, they clinked glasses, and sipped their champagne.

Chloe hid a secret smile.

'The future' she thought 'looked very good'

THE END!

PLEASE REVIEW ONE MORE TIME!
