TOW Ross and Rachel find out
Once again, these characters do not belong to me. They belong to the creators of Friends.
In our previous chapter Rachel had just given birth and Nick had just stormed out of the hospital room visibly upset about something. We pick up where we left off only it is two days later.
Ross opened the door to their apartment and smiled as Chandler, Monica, their nieces and their sons jump out from the closet and yell "Surprise!"
"Welcome home Lauren Rachel Geller! My beautiful little niece." Monica cried and ran over to hug Rachel and the baby.
Soon everyone was clamoring over to get a look at the newest little Geller.
Ross whispered something in Rachel's ear. She smiled at him knowingly and nodded. He kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose, and then deep on the mouth.
From the corner of the room Nick grunted and said menacingly "Hey Mom, isn't that how you got knocked up?"
Everyone froze in shock. Ross felt the blood come into his face as he turned into Red Ross. "That's it!" he stormed towards Nick "I have had all I can take! You had better watch that hateful mouth! You have ruined your sister's homecoming. You have been acting like a spoiled child!"
"Whose fault is that?" Nick snapped.
Before Ross could even stop himself he smacked Nick in the mouth. Everyone just stood there staring at the father and son, mouths dropped in disbelief. Nick grasped his mouth and stared at his father with hate in his eyes.
"Nick, honey, why don't you come with me to your room and we can talk about what's bothering you?" Rachel coaxed.
"Go to hell Mom!" Nick threw his glass on the floor and fled the house slamming the door so hard the windows rattled.
Everyone just stood there for a moment trying to decide what to do. Finally, Rachel put a smile on her face and said, "Maybe we could Lauren her room." They were all relieved for the distraction and they spent the next few hours getting to know Lauren Geller. Rachel and Ross were both very worried about Nick, and they kept casting glances at each other from across the room.
Soon Chandler, Monica and the girls were ready to go home for dinner. Monica went over and gave Rachel a hug "Honey you'll figure out what's bugging him- it's just not like him to talk to you like that. And it's certainly not like Ross to hit him."
"I am so worried, Mon. What am I going to do?" Rachel started to cry. "I have a brand new baby at 44 years old, I have like a 100 stitches there, it's been like 10 years since Ross and I have done stuff, and my now oldest son just told me to go to hell."
Monica could tell Rachel was starting to get the baby blues and that the added stress was only making things worse. "Look, Rach, why don't you let us take Travis tonight? That way when Nick gets home you can talk to him."
"Oh, Mon, I've already had two nights away from Travis."
"Rachel, do you really want Travis here for World War III when Nick comes home?"
"Oh alright." She hollered to Travis, "Travis, go get your jimmies and go with Aunt Monica and Uncle Chandler you are going to stay with them tonight."
"YEAH! Can Taylor paint my toenails again?"
Taylor groaned, "Forget it twerp. I am too mature for you now."
"Aww please," Travis begged her as he went into his room and got his things.
Within a few minutes Ross, Rachel, and Lauren were completely alone in their apartment. Lauren was asleep in the crib in her room and Ross and Rachel were snuggled on the couch.
"Ross I am trying to make sense of what happened this afternoon."
"I know, Rach, I know. For God's sake I slapped him. I just couldn't take him talking about you like that. Like you are some kind of tramp. No wife of mine is a tramp."
Rachel kissed him, "Defending my honor, huh?"
"Til I die." Ross leaned in for another kiss. Their kisses began to heat up just as Nick walked in.
"Figures," he slammed himself down on the couch next to them. "You two are always making out."
Rachel touched his shoulder and tried not to notice his flinch at her touch, "Sweetie, your Dad and I love each other very much."
"Yeah! Yeah! Well you don't have to love someone to have sex with them. You can get caught up in the moment and just give into your raging hormones-"
"Nick are you trying to tell us something? Because whatever it is we will listen and we will still love you."
"If Dad doesn't like what I have to say is he going to slap me again?"
"Look Nick, I am sorry about that." Ross said, "I just can't have anyone talking
about your Mom that way- especially not her son."
"Yeah okay, whatever." Nick said his eyes were on the floor "Jessie's pregnant," he barely whispered.
Ross' jaw dropped and tears filled Rachel's eyes. "What did you just say? Did you just say- is it yours?"
Nick just looked at the floor.
"Answer me Nicholas! Is it yours?"
"Yeah it's mine." Nick broke down. Rachel's instinct was to hug him. Ross wanted to beat the crap out of him. Neither of them followed their instincts- they freaked out.
"How could you? Haven't we talked about safe sex? How you should really wait until you're married." Rachel was sobbing now.
"Yeah, like either of you did that." Nick said hatefully. "You two only got married because Dad knocked you up."
"That's not true, Nick, your Mom and I have always loved each other. Having you just brought us back together."
"Well at least you two have some feelings for each other-" Nick was sobbing now. "Jessie and I just got caught in the moment. She wanted to make Ryan jealous and I fell for it. I was so stupid and now what do I do?"
Rachel took him in her arms and stroked his hair in comfort. Tears were streaming down her face. Ross was standing in front of them and he looked like he was angry but also very sad. Rachel began to rock Nick in her arms like a baby. "We'll figure it out, Nick. We'll figure it out."
