Summary: This story takes place in about 2005. Ross and Rachel have been going out for about a year and are living together with baby Emma, who is about three years old. No twists, no suspense… just sappy and mushy lobster love dedicated to all those Ross and Rachel supporters!

It was a beautiful spring morning; Ross woke up as the sun began to shine in from the window. He opened his eyes and lying down next to him was the love of his life... Rachel. She was still asleep. Ross stared at Rachel... she was the most beautiful woman in the world to him. He felt so lucky to have her by his side again. Ross placed a gentle kiss on Rachel's lips.

"I love you." Ross whispered as he ran his fingers through Rachel's soft brown hair. Just then, Rachel woke up and she smiled as she saw Ross looking down on her.

"Hey sexy, how was your sleep?" asked Rachel as she yawned.

"Great. I mean, I had you by my side, didn't I?" Ross replied.

"You're too sweet. Do you wanna get out of bed and have some breakfast?" asked Rachel.

"Not yet. I just wanna cuddle you in bed for a while, if that's alright." said Ross.

"Sure." said Rachel smiling. "But not for long because Emma will be up soon."

About 10 minutes later, Ross and Rachel had got out of bed and were in the kitchen eating breakfast with Emma.

"Would you like some juice, sweetie?" Rachel asked Emma.

"Yes please, Mommy." replied Emma.

"Hey honey, I gotta go to work, I'll be back this afternoon. I love you." said Ross kissing Rachel on the forehead.

"Why are you going to work? It's spring break." replied Rachel.

"I know, but I need to prepare and organise some work before the students come back." said Ross.

"Oh okay, but make sure you're back by the afternoon. You haven't forgotten our plans tonight, have you?" asked Rachel.

"Of course not. I'll ring you to let you know what time I'll be home." replied Ross.

"Okay, I'll probably be at Monica and Chandler's so call there." said Rachel.

"Alright. I better go. Bye honey. Bye Emma-Wemma, Daddy loves you!" said Ross kissing Rachel and then kissing Emma on the cheek.

"I love you too, Daddy." exclaimed Emma.

Ross had left for work so Rachel went over to visit Monica and Chandler with Emma.

"Hey!" said Rachel smiling, entering Monica and Chandler's apartment. Her smile quickly turned into a disgusted look as she had caught the two making out on the couch. "Oh God!" exclaimed Rachel as she put her hand in front of Emma's eyes and turning her head around to face the door.

Monica and Chandler, who were now embarrassed, quickly got up from the couch.

"Hey, it's your fault you had to see that... you should've knocked!" exclaimed Monica.

"You know we never knock!" replied Rachel.

"So, what brings you here?" asked Chandler.

"Well, Ross had to go prepare and organise some work stuff before spring break is over so I decided to visit you guys if that's okay." said Rachel.

"Sure it's okay. Just as long as you don't mind watching Monica and I make out on the sofa some more." replied Chandler.

"Chandler!" exclaimed Monica.

Rachel ignored Chandler's remark. "Wow, your tummy has gotten really big these past few months. Have you guys thought of any baby names yet?" asked Rachel.

"Well, I've chosen Daniel for a boy and Chandler gets to chose a girls name." replied Monica.

Monica was five and half months pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl.

"You're really letting Chandler choose your daughter's name?" asked Rachel.

"Well, yeah... he won a bet." replied Monica.

"I want to call her Bada Bing, but Monica won't let me." said Chandler.

Just then, Joey entered Monica and Chandler's apartment.

"Hey!' said Rachel, Monica and Chandler in unison.

"Hey! Watcha guys talkin' about?" asked Joey.

"Not much." replied Monica. "So Rachel, haven't you got plans with Ross tonight?" asked Monica.

"Monica and I would love to baby sit Emma for you guys. After all, it would help us prepare for Daniel and Bada." said Chandler.

Rachel again, ignored Chandler's remark. "Yeah, we are going out tonight." Rachel paused for a few seconds until she spoke again. "Do you guys think Ross will ever propose to me?" questioned Rachel.

"No offence, Rachel, but I think Ross has probably gotten sick of proposing by now." said Joey.

"What do ya mean? Ross loves to get married. I'm sure he will. Don't worry, Rachel." replied Chandler.

"Would you stop with your sarcastic remarks?! I'm being serious here!" exclaimed Rachel.

"Don't listen to them, Rachel. I'm sure he will. I mean, you guys have been going out for a year already and so far nothing has caused a problem. No men from work, no copy girls... you're the love of Ross's life. Trust me, I know my own brother." said Monica reassuringly.

"Aw, thanks Monica." replied Rachel as she hugged Monica.

Just then, Phoebe entered Monica and Chandler's apartment.

"Hey, you guys!" said Phoebe.

"Hey Pheebs!" Joey, Rachel, Monica and Chandler said in unison.

"Where's Mike?" asked Monica.

"Oh, he's out playing the piano at a karaoke bar. I was going to go with him, but I decided to come see you guys. What were you guys talking about before I came?" said Phoebe.

"We were just discussing whether Ross would propose to me or not." replied Rachel.

"Oh, he is. Don't worry. I can sense it in his aura. And besides, you're his lobster and everybody knows that lobsters fall in love and mate for life." replied Phoebe.

A few hours had gone by and it was now late in the afternoon and Ross was still at work. Monica, Chandler, Joey, Phoebe and Rachel were all sitting in the lounge room while Emma was down for a nap. Rachel started to worry that Ross wasn't back yet.

"Where could he be? He said he'd be back by this afternoon. I bet he forgot about our plans tonight." said Rachel worried.

"Would you stop worrying, Rachel? He hasn't forgotten... I know." said Phoebe. Just then, the phone rang and Chandler answered it. "Hello?... Oh hey, Ross... Sure, I'll get her... Rachel, it's Ross" said Chandler handing the phone to Rachel.

"Hey honey, when are you coming home?... Oh... Nah, it's okay, I'm fine... Yeah, okay... I'll see you then... I love you too." said Rachel in a sad tone.

"What happened?" asked Joey.

"He has to stay back at work late and finish off some things and he said he wouldn't make it home on time for our dinner reservations at the restaurant. He wants me to go see him tonight at the planetarium at seven, but I don't know if I want to go." replied Rachel. Ross had planned something special for Rachel that she had no clue about.

"I think you should go." said Phoebe. "I sense that he's got a big surprise waiting for you there."

"Yeah, go to the planetarium. Ross will be happy that you came. Chandler and I will watch Emma for you." said Monica.

"All right, thanks." replied Rachel.

A few hours went by and it was now 7:00pm. Rachel opened the door and entered the planetarium. To her amazement, Ross had filled the planetarium with lilies, Rachel's favourite flower, as The Way You Look Tonight by Fred Astaire came on the sound system. Rachel looked around the planetarium, then across to the other side, where she looked at the love of her life... Ross. Tears ran down from her eyes to her cheeks as she walked over to Ross, who was down on one knee. When she reached him, she looked up at the lights, which had come on. Written across the dome in stars were the words "Will you marry me?".

"Will you marry me?" asked Ross placing a diamond ring on Rachel's finger. Ross had proposed to Rachel, just like he had always dreamed the first time Ross and Rachel were going out. Rachel didn't say anything for a few seconds. It took her a while to let it all sink in... she couldn't believe what she was seeing and hearing. After about five slow seconds, she said yes and Ross and Rachel embraced in a passionate kiss. Rachel stared into Ross's cute, brown, puppy dog eyes; her hands were placed gently on Ross's cheeks while Ross had his arms wrapped around Rachel's waist. Ross stared right back into Rachel's eyes.

"I knew you had been waiting for this day to come along and believe me, so have I… I just wanted to make it perfect." whispered Ross.

"You were worth the wait, and I don't just mean tonight." replied Rachel. She spoke the exact same words the last time her and Ross were at the planetarium.

They both realised how lucky they were to have each other. Ross would now have everything he could possibly imagine since he was 15 and Rachel now would have a loving husband who would love her forever, take care of her and Emma and always be there. Ross had Rachel and Rachel had Ross. Ross, Rachel and Emma would now be a family. Ross and Rachel were in love and there was no doubt about it. Everything was perfect.

Authors Note: Hey! I hope you liked the first chapter. I haven't got any ideas for a second chapter yet, but I'm thinking, so for now, you just have to wait. This is a Ross and Rachel fan fic I made up because I love Ross and Rachel and I 100% fully support the lobsters! What the writers are doing now with Joey and Rachel is so wrong. I hate it! If you notice, Ross proposes to Rachel exactly how he said in episode 818: The One In Massapequa. Well, I just thought that was the most romantic thing so I copied Ross, hehe. This is my first story and I'd appreciate some feedback, so I hope you'll all review, thanks!
