Hey! Gracias for the reviews!
This chapter has a very interesting plot twist, for C&M that is, and if you
are an R&R fan who has been skipping the CM parts, you may just find this
interesting. (Not because R&R are involved just because it's SHOCKING)
Now who wants to hear what happened in Heather's history class today!
Anybody? *Raises hand* (It has to do with Matty!) *Everyone raises hands* So here we go... I was sitting in history bored out of my mind; I don't really know what we were learning because I wasn't listening. Then all of a sudden my teacher said "Matthew Perry" naturally I snapped out of my Friends daydreams and focused on the class *gasps* yes I focused on the class! So he starts talking about Matty and then adds "No, not the one on Friends, not Chandler, this is a different one, Commodore Matthew Perry, was a navy officer in the early 1900s...." and then I lost interest and started to imagine him as a navy man, *loses focus again* sorry. So it wasn't that interesting but it was pretty exciting, especially since my history teacher is 59 and he knew who Matty was. Thank you for listening to this (not) fascinating story!

It had taken her all night, but she had finally formulated a plan. After discovering that the hotel did have an extra room, she packed up and moved there for the night. Since Emma was having a bad night, Rachel had stayed up and while she took care of the baby, she thought of the perfect way to get rid of Ross.
She knew by the determined look his face portrayed that nothing was going to stop Ross from following her back to New York the next day, so she needed to think of a way to get him out of her sight. It wasn't that she didn't like him, of course, she would always like him, but it was one of those times that she needed her space.
Sure, it wasn't the greatest plan, but it was the only thing she could think of between a screaming one year old and six suitcases to pack. She was going to sneak out, and with any luck she could get out of there unseen. She had already called the airport, finding out that there was a redeye that left at midnight. It was cheaper, and it was all she could afford.
After softly shutting the hotel door, she surreptitiously walked down the hallway, her baby in her arms. The bellboy had come and taken all her luggage down to the lobby and kindly loaded them into a taxi, and all she needed to do was get herself and her daughter out of there. As she neared the end of the hallway, she was even more careful to be quieter when she passed Ross's door. After what she thought was a successful mission, she strutted out of the lobby and into the taxi. Unfortunately for Rachel, Ross was as clever as he claimed himself to be.
Ross knew she was going to do something like this. He didn't know exactly what or when, but he knew it would happen. He had been watching, every so often, through his peephole, and he saw them take all her stuff away. He saw her try to sneak away with Emma and he saw her get into the taxi from his window.
Then it was decision time. Should he follow her? Should he let her get away? Those were the questions he didn't know the answer to. He didn't know. He didn't know what to do. The only thing he knew was that he loved her, but clearly that wasn't enough. All he wanted was for her to love him back.

Pit, pat, pit, pat.
It seemed like it had been raining for years, as opposed to hours. He looked out the car window and saw the building.
Pit, pat, pit, pat.
He was so nervous. Being a father was new to him, obviously, and he didn't know how to handle it.
Pit, pat, pit, pat, pit, pat, Pit, pat, pit, pat, pit, pat, Pit, pat, pit, pat, pit, pat,
Before it had been Erica who was pregnant, but this was much scarier, now his wife was the one who was going through it.
Pit, pat, pit, pat, pit, pat, Pit, pat, pit, pat, pit, pat, Pit, pat, pit, pat, pit, pat, Pit, pat, pit, pat, pit, pat, Pit, pat, pit, pat, pit, pat, Pit, pat, pit, pat, pit, pat, Pit, pat, pit, pat, pit, pat, Pit, pat, pit, pat, pit, pat, Pit, pat, pit, pat, pit, pat,
He was happy and excited. He was excited as hell, just scared to death ...

The cab pulled over and he jumped out. Seeing her entering the doors of the office building, he ran up to her.
"Hey Mon!" Chandler shouted.
"Hey! Thank god you're here, I'm so nervous."
"Me too, but things will be okay."
~*~
"Perfectly healthy"
Both breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's your baby and that's your baby's heartbeat."
"Oh my God," Chandler said in disbelief, "There's actually a little person inside you!"
"Yeah"
He slowly leaned over, closed his eyes and kissed her on the forehead.
'Nothing could go wrong.' Monica thought 'Nothing.'
~*~
Rachel arrived at the gate and rushed over to the receptionist to give in her ticket. (A/N: do babies need tickets?) Just when she turned to board, shock struck her face when she saw Ross a few feet away.
"Rach!"
"Oh my God," she breathed quietly.
"Don't go! I love you! I can't lose you again. You are the love of my life! Don't you realize we're meant to be together?"
"Ross..."
"I know you love me too! I can see it in your eyes," he said stepping a foot closer.
"God, Ross! How many times are we going to do this! This whole airport thing! There was you coming off the plane with Julie, and then the whole Emily honeymoon thing! I mean how many freakin' times are we going to do this!"
"I..."
"We get together; we break up because of a stupid list!"
"Well..."
She just continued, "Then I fall back in love with you, when I see that prom video, and I thought that that would last, but clearly, I was wrong when you go and cheat on me even though you thought 'we were on a break!" Rachel shouted, saying that last phrase, mockingly.
"I wanted to hurt you; I wanted to hurt you more than I wanted to hurt anyone in my whole damn life!"
"Yeah, but..."
"I hated you, Ross. I hated your guts."
"THEN," she started, cutting him off yet again, "When I think we're back together for good after you pretended to read my letter, you go and say that you do not take full responsibility for your own stupid actions so we broke up AGAIN!!!" she screamed, her outrage mounting even higher.
"I didn't..."
"So we break up, you go off fall in love and get married! But, noooo, no, you had to go and say MY name at the altar, making this even more confusing than it already was!!"
"That..."
"So yeah, eventually things go back to normal, and we're getting along fine. But then we go to Vegas and we end up married!"
By now the one-sided conversation has attracted many people's interests, but Rachel could care less.
"So you pretend to get a divorce, according to Phoebe because you still love me! I never got a final answer on that one and I don't really want one! It's just more lies you've put me through. Lies, lies, lies!!"
"Rach, Stop! I-"
"NO LET ME FINISH!!!"
She waited a second for a response, but when he remained quiet she continued.
"Next thing you know Monica and Chandler are engaged and we're kissing! Of course, I thought that maybe things were starting up again, but NO! You were just interested in having sex!"
"That's not..."
"So nothing happens. That's fine, that's great! But before you know it we're doing it and conceiving a baby!"
"So now we have the baby, things are fine, and then you tell me you have feelings for me AGAIN, and what stupid thing do I do? I go and say the same thing! I say, 'Oh yeah, sure Ross, who knows, maybe it could work out!' and then what do you do? You accuse me of cheating on you with some man I don't even know!"
"I just..."
"Now, here we are, at the airport. You're chasing me after you've betrayed, lied, and accused me of everything in the book! You've hurt me so much! So much has happened to us in which I can't tell you how much I hated you!"
"It's just that..."
"You know what I've learned from all this! You know what I've discovered Ross?"
"To leave him and get someone you can trust!" shouted a woman in the small crowd leering towards them.
"No," she said calmly, now in a whisper.
"I've decided that I love you too."
~*~
He didn't want to physically hurt her. He wanted to do something much worse. Monica was the love of his life, and he wanted to do something that was worse than hurting her, worse than raping her, worse than, killing her.

Review? That was the hardest chapter to write, and I don't know why. I don't think it was as good as the others, although it was longer. Longest chapter I've ever written I think. Anywhoo, you will find out about the whole CM surprise later, I would like to hear your guesses about that last part!
Please please review!
Here is a little brain teaser and whoever can give me an answer or at least a thorough explanation for their opinion will have the next chapter dedicated to them!
The statement below is true
The statement above is false
Which is correct?
