Hey! I am so glad for the reviews, they reassured me that you people still
like this fic. Thank you! Keep 'em coming! Oh and in case you were
wondering, the spoiler was that Monica and Chandler are getting twins, but
don't worry, Erica won't die.
Disclaimer: It would make you so happy right? Just to hear me say those torturous words! Well I don't like giving you the satisfaction you don't deserve but I have to, so here, I don't own them :P
Life Can Be Good, Life Can Be Bad, You Take Your Turns

"You want to get back together?" Ross asked excitedly.
"Well, yeah, I mean, if there is a chance that it could work out again, you know for Emma's sake, we really haven't tried to think about what's best for her."
"Yeah of course"
"So are you willing to go down that road again?" Rachel asked, hopefully.
"Yeah, I'll do anything to make you happy. And who knows, maybe this will work out."
"Yeah" Rachel said, with a hopeful smile.
Life was good.
~*~
Life was bad.
Why was it that some people had everything they wanted and some had nothing at all? Those who didn't want children got them anway, and those who did were left lonely.
Life wasn't fair.
He looked out at the sky, thinking how it was such a nice day for all, but a terrible one for him? The birds chirping, the sun shining, people walking around the city without a care in the world.
But he had a care; he had a lot of them. When all that had become important in his life had been washed down the drain, boy did he care. Just when he thought he had a sliver of hope, that Monica was pregnant; all that anticipation had disappeared with one simple word, negative.
It wasn't like he actually expected her to be pregnant, after all they knew it was unlikely, but something inside made him excited at the chance, and he grasped at the possibility. She deserved to have her dream family, but just seemed to have the worst luck. Chandler knew he had to do something, but what could be done?
"Chandler!" Monica screamed, as he snapped out of his temporary daze, and refocused his attention away from the window and to his wife.
"Yeah?" he asked, noticing that Monica had a big smile on her face
"I'm pregnant."
"What?"
"Well, when you suggested it and it came out negative, Phoebe told me I better take it again because when she got pregnant with the triplets she took it three times, and Rachel took it twice with Emma, so I took it three times after the negative one and all three said positive."
"You mean you are really pregnant?"
"I am really pregnant!" she screamed happily.
"I can't believe it!" Chandler yelled in bliss as Monica jumped into his arms, like she had done when they first moved in together.
Neither could help the huge smiles that spread across their faces.
Life was good.
~*~
Life was bad.
Just when Rachel thought everything was turning around for the best, Ross went and did it again. Jumping to conclusions should be his middle name.
Here is what happened that forced the tides to turn.
Rachel had taken Emma to the mall and sat down on a bench. A man, not much older than she, had sat down next to her and started telling her how cute the one-year old was. As any mother would and should, Rachel was beaming with pride.
Of course, Ross was there coincidentally watching from a distance. Rachel hadn't known at the time, and she had no reason to need to know.
Ross, thinking she was cheating on him, just as he had thought with Mark, had gotten all jealous and the two lobsters had had a big fight later that day.
"You know what Ross, just because the man may have been trying to hit on me does not mean he gets what he wants. Just because he asked me out does not mean I said yes! Don't you get it! I can't, I just, I can't do this, I cannot keep having this fight with you so many freakin' times!" Rachel said stomping into the bathroom and slamming the door.
"Rachel, please, I am really sorry, I only did that because I care about you and I love you."
Something about the way he said that was different than before. This time it was more than the love of a friend or mother, it was true love.
Rachel slowly opened the door and peaked out at him, trying to see the look in his eyes. As meaningful as that statement had been, she was too afraid to go down that road again, too afraid to get hurt. She knew he wouldn't dare cheat on her again, but the fear was still there, and the fact that they already had another act of jealousy so early in their new relationship, just meant that maybe they shouldn't be doing this.
"I can't, Ross, I just can't do it" she whispered.
His plan had been going so well, he was so close. But he knew that it had been too easy and that step three would need more work.
The next day had been awkward enough. Rachel avoided Ross at all costs. He tried to talk to her but she either ignored him or shrugged it off. She tried not to be inconsiderate but it felt so strange being around him. She wasn't mad at him; she was just uncomfortable being in his presence. Ross sat down across from Rachel and his daughter at breakfast and just as he did, she picked up their trays and moved to another table.
"Rach," Ross started to talk to her.
"Look Ross it's not that I am mad at you, it's just that it's hard to be around you right now, it's too awkward, maybe I should just go home."
"What? Rachel no! It will be fine, things will go back to normal with us, you'll see!"
"I can't be sure; I think it will be better for both of us if we aren't near each other for a while, you know, get some space."
"No-"
"It's too late Ross, I've made up my mind, you can't stop me, and tomorrow Emma and I are going home." Rachel proclaimed defiantly and walked off with her daughter leaving Ross more depressed than the night before.
An idea came to his head, and as Rachel headed off to pack Ross shouted, "Oh yeah, well if you are going home, then I am going with you!"
Rachel heard him but ignored him, and no matter what statistics proved, no matter what grades said, no matter what their jobs meant, tomorrow Rachel was going to be smarter than Ross.
