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!

(Ross and Rachel's apartment)

"I can't believe Ross and Rachel are actually getting married today," exclaimed Phoebe to Monica, who were both drinking cups of coffee at the kitchen table.

"I know. It seems like just yesterday when they got back together," replied Monica.

Just then, Rachel walked into the kitchen with the biggest smile on her face. She never felt or looked this happy in her life. Ever since she was a little girl, she had dreamt about falling in love and getting married and now, her dream was coming true. She had a beautiful glow that shone through her happiness and being pregnant again, made her glow ever brighter.

"I'm getting married today!" exclaimed Rachel.

"I know! And we're so happy for you!" replied Monica as she and Phoebe both hugged Rachel.

"I always knew you and Ross were going to get married... again," said Phoebe with pride.

"Really? How?" questioned Rachel.

"You guys are lobsters and are totally meant to be. It was written in the stars that you and Ross would get married," answered Phoebe.

"Well, thank you for having faith in us, Pheebs," replied Rachel. All of a sudden, Rachel put her hands over her mouth and her eyes widened as if she were surprised. She quickly ran to the bathroom as she was experiencing the morning sickness that comes with having a baby.

"What was that about?" asked Phoebe, curiously, not knowing what was going on.

"Rachel's pregnant," answered Monica, smiling.

"Oh my God! Are you serious?" replied Phoebe.

Rachel had exited the bathroom and walked back into the kitchen, hearing what Phoebe had said. "Serious about what?" she questioned.

"About you being pregnant! Geez Rach, couldn't you and Ross have waited until after you got married?" said Phoebe. With this, Rachel just gave her a look.

"It wasn't planned and look, you can't say anything to anyone because Ross doesn't know yet," said Rachel, sternly.

"You haven't told Ross? He's gonna be wondering why you're not gonna be drinking, you know," said Monica.

"I know, but don't worry, I plan on telling him tonight at the reception," replied Rachel. "Man, I can't believe I can't drink at my own wedding!" continued Rachel, taking a seat.

"I know. I feel sorry for you, Rach. Getting drunk is the best part. Just ask Mike." said Phoebe.

"Rachel, don't you think carrying Ross's baby is better than getting drunk at your wedding? I mean, you're both going to love this baby for the rest of your life, but you aren't going to remember a few drinks. Besides, I get a new niece or nephew!" said Monica.

Rachel thought about what Monica said and smiled, "You're right, thanks Mon," she replied. Rachel loved how Monica was able to bring out the positive in every situation. Unlike Chandler, she was good at the advice thing. One of the many things Rachel loved about her best friend and soon to be sister-in-law.

(Joey and Isobel's apartment. AN: Joey and Isobel are living together, but you probably picked up on that :p)

It was almost time to be at the church and Ross, Joey and Chandler were busily getting ready, making sure they looked their best in their tuxes.

"Man, I feel so nervous," said Ross anxiously.

"Why? This is your fourth wedding, you should be used to getting married. Everything should be a breeze," sarcastically replied Chandler. Ross just gave him a look.

"What are you so nervous about?" asked Joey.

"I don't know. I'm afraid I'm gonna screw up." replied Ross.

"Well, it would help if you say the right name at the altar this time," said Chandler.

"Yeah, just remember, her name's Rachel," said Joey.

"I think I know my own fiancé's name, Joe," replied Ross, kind of frustrated.

"You didn't seem to know Emily's," said Chandler.

"Hey, I admit I screwed up that marriage, but I love Rachel more than anything. I'm not gonna make a stupid mistake like that again," replied Ross, defensively.

"Everyone gets nervous on their wedding day, even I did. You have nothing to worry about, man," said Chandler.

"Yeah, everything's gonna be fine," replied Joey.

"Thanks guys. It means a lot to me," said Ross.

The wedding ceremony was about to begin in about half an hour and guests were starting to arrive as Ross and Rachel both anxiously waited to get married.

"Rachel darling, you look so beautiful," said Judy.

"Oh, thank you, are you sure it doesn't make me look fat, though?" replied Rachel.

"Why would it make you look fat? You look gorgeous, honey." said Sandra.

There was a nervous silence for a few seconds. They could tell Rachel wasn't telling them something. "Rachel's pregnant!" exclaimed Monica, breaking the silence.

"Monica!" exclaimed Rachel.

"Sorry! It slipped!" replied Monica.

"You're pregnant?" questioned Sandra.

"Yes, mom, I am, but please don't say anything because Ross doesn't know yet," answered Rachel.

"You haven't told Ross yet?" asked Judy.

"There was never the right time. I plan on telling him tonight," answered Rachel.

"Well, congratulations, sweetie," replied Sandra, hugging her daughter.

"Thanks mom," said Rachel.

(Short time lapse. The wedding ceremony is about to begin)

"Daddy, I'm so nervous," said Rachel, anxiously as she waited for the music to start, so her dad could escort her down the isle.

"Just relax, honey," replied Leonard.

Pachabel's Canon in D began to play and all the guests stood up from their seats. Emma walked down the isle gently throwing lily petals as Ben followed shortly behind, carrying two rings on a silk white cushion with lace around the edges.

Ross and Rachel's eyes met.

I can't believe you're here with me
And now it seems my world's complete
And I never want this moment to end
I close my eyes and still I see
My dream's become reality
And now I know how it feels to be in love

Ross couldn't take his eyes off Rachel. From the moment he saw her, his eyes just seemed to be fixed upon Rachel's figure. He had never seen anything more beautiful than her. This was the day Ross had always dreamt about and now his dream was becoming reality. He could tell there was something different about her, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Ross smiled at Rachel and then thought to himself 'I can't believe how lucky I am.'

I prayed so many nights that you would come my way
An angel from above to light my darkest day
I think it's time for you to hear these lines
'Cause there's something I want to say...
I finally found what I've been looking for
And now you know I'm gonna love you more
Hold me tight because it's always been you
To think that you were always there
To be my friend and wipe away my tears
Now it's clear that it's always been you

Rachel smiled back. To see Ross came as a huge rush for her and almost made her heart skip a beat. She had her hand on her stomach and breathed out heavily as she could feel the butterflies flutter, but she loved the feeling. Rachel then slightly tugged on her necklace, which Ross had given to her on Valentine's Day, just to make sure it was still there. She never took the necklace off because she always found it to be good luck and whenever she was down, she'd always have something to remind her of how lucky she really was. Rachel had finally made her way down the isle as she gave her dad a peck on the cheek and then Ross took her hands as they were ready to say "I do."

"We're gathered here today to join Ross Geller and Rachel Green in matrimony. If there is anyone who has any reason why these two shouldn't wed, speak now or forever hold your peace," said the minister.

Ross and Rachel stared into each other's eyes, smiling. It surprised both of them that they had made it this far, but now everything felt complete and their love for each other only grew stronger with each passing day.

Sometimes you don't expect that friends
Can become lovers in the end
Only God knows what the future will bring
So hold me close and don't let go
'Cause this is love, boy, don't you know?
And we're gonna be together for eternity

"We shall proceed. Rachel, repeat after me. I, Rachel, take thee Ross to be my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold in sickness and in health, 'til death do us part," continued the minister.

"I, Rachel, take thee Ross to be my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold in sickness and in health, 'til death do us part," replied Rachel.

"Now, Ross, repeat after me. I, Ross, take thee Rachel to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold in sickness and in health, 'til death do us part," said the minister.

"I, Ross, take thee Rachel to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold in sickness and in health, 'til death do us part," replied Ross.

"By the power invested in me by God and the State of New York, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may kiss the bride," said the minister.

I prayed so many nights that you would come my way
An angel from above to light my darkest day
A love so strong it can't be wrong
It's with you that I belong
I finally found what I've been looking for
Now you know I'm gonna love you more
Hold me tight because it's always been you
To think that you were always there
To be my friend and wipe away my tears
Now it's clear that it's always been you

Ross and Rachel momentarily gazed into each other's eyes. Ross lifted up Rachel's veil to reveal her flawless complexion and she looked more beautiful than ever. Ross wrapped his arms around Rachel's waist, pulling her closer towards his body as Rachel cuffed Ross's cheeks with her hands and they began passionately kissing. People stood up as they began applauding the newly wed couple. As Ross and Rachel reluctantly broke the kiss, they still stood standing there, Rachel tightly held by Ross, smiling, not believing they were actually married. Everything seemed so surreal, but by the way that they looked at each other, their love was real. There was no way that you could feel like it was tainted.

A few hours had gone by and everyone was at the reception when the bride and groom had just arrived.

"Hey everyone, please give it up for Mr. and Mrs. Geller!" exclaimed the DJ. Everyone stood up to congratulate Ross and Rachel, and then sat back down as they began their first dance. Ross and Rachel made their way onto the dance floor, hand in hand and began slowly dancing to the music.

"We made it," Ross whispered in Rachel's ear. She then felt a sudden shiver go up her spine. She loved it when Ross did that to her.

"I know," replied Rachel, smiling.

"I love you so much," said Ross, brushing Rachel's hair.

I love you, too," replied Rachel, kissing Ross neck. "Ross, there's something I have to tell you..." continued Rachel.

Just then, Ross started to feel a bit nervous, but reassured himself nothing was wrong. "What is it?" he asked.

Rachel put one hand on her stomach and after a few slow seconds, she spoke. "We're having another baby,"

"We are?" asked Ross with a confused look on his face.

"Yeah, we are," answered Rachel, smiling.

"Wow," was all Ross managed to say.

"You're not upset, are you?" asked Rachel.

"No, sweetie, of course not. I'm just so surprised. First I get married to the most beautiful woman in the world and now I find out I'm having another baby. This is the best day of my life," replied Ross, putting his hand on top of Rachel's, which was still placed on her stomach. He then softly and passionately kissed her.

"I was surprised, too. And I must say, you look very sexy in your tux, Dr Geller" said Rachel, placing her hands around Ross's neck.

"Yes, but you can't wait to see me out of my tux, can you?" asked Ross, seductively.

"You know me too well," answered Rachel. They continued slowly dancing to the beat of the music as Rachel had her head rested on Ross's chest with Ross placing soft kisses upon it.

This time
I'm gonna make sure it turns out right
I wanna be your everything and by your side
For the rest of my life
This love
Feels the way that love should be
Look in my eyes and realise there's no disguise
'Cause I'm in love with you

(At the tables where all the guests are seated)

"Oh, Jack, look how cute they are. Do you remember how nice it was to feel young and in love?" inquired Judy.

"Yeah, lets just hope they stay that way. I'm not paying for another one of Ross's weddings," replied Jack.

"Hey, what do you think Ross and Rachel are talking about over there?" asked Joey.

"Rachel's telling Ross that she's pregnant!" answered Monica.

"Oh my God, Rachel's pregnant? Who's the father?" questioned Joey, surprised. Monica, Chandler, Phoebe, Mike and Isobel, who were seated at a table, gave Joey a look.

"Take a wild guess, Joe," said Chandler.

"Ross, you idiot!" exclaimed Isobel, as she playfully hit Joey's arm.

"Oh, right. That would make sense, wouldn't it?" said Joey in realisation.

A few moments later, Emma walked onto the dance floor; she put her hands up, as she wanted to be picked up.

"Hey, look who's here!" exclaimed Rachel.

"Hey Princess, Daddy will pick you up," said Ross, lifting up Emma.

"You look very pretty today," said Rachel.

"So do you, Mommy," replied Emma.

"Daddy looks pretty, too, doesn't he, Em?" Rachel asked. Emma looked at her dad and giggled. "Daddy looks handsome," she replied, kissing her dad on the nose. Ross kissed Emma on her nose back.

"Hey, guess what, Em? In a few months time, you're gonna have a little brother or sister," stated Ross, looking down at Emma, who was in his arms.

"I know," replied Emma. Ross suddenly had a shocked look on his face.

"Emma knew before I did?!" questioned Ross.

"I'm sorry! I just wanted to wait for the right time to tell you," answered Rachel.

Ross paused for a moment. "It's okay. I love you," said Ross.

"I love you, too," replied Rachel.

I finally found what I've been looking for
And now you know I'm gonna love you more
Hold me tight because it's always been you
To think that you were always there
To be my friend and wipe away my tears
Now it's clear that it's always been you

Rachel still had her hands around Ross's neck as she deeply looked into Ross's eyes and then kissed him passionately on the lips. Ross, Rachel and Emma were together, as a family, in the centre of the dance floor with smiling faces surrounding them. Nothing could ever doubt the love Ross and Rachel shared and knowing how much they loved each other, made them feel complete and secure. They loved each other unconditionally and that was all that mattered.

Authors Note: I know it took a while, Ross and Rachel are married, yay! I know this chapter is longer than usual, but c'mon, it's a lobster wedding, I had to make it perfect! Well, I tried to anyway. We may never see one on Friends, so this is the closest I'm going to get and I hope you all enjoyed it. This chapter is for Rosie, the biggest R&R fan I know and I wanna thank her for being such a wonderful friend :) hi Rosie, if you're reading this! The song I used in this chapter is called Finally Found by the Honeyz. It's great song and I recommend downloading it because I think it fits perfectly with R&R getting married and also the 'It's always been you' part really fits them because when Ross said "It's always been you, Rach" in TOW The List... so sweet! I hope I wrote the wedding ceremony okay, I've never had a wedding myself (hey, I'm only 15) so I hope it's still good. I was a flower girl once, but that was many years ago. I have one more chapter to write after this and then it's the end. It'll be the first fanfic I've ever completed! Anyway, please review! They make authors like me, very happy and I appreciate the time you have taken to read and review my story. Ciao! I just realised how long this author's note was. I just never seem to shut up, lol.
