Business Cards: Chapter 4
A/N: Thanks for reviewing, et cetera. THANK YOU!!! ^_^ Here's the FULL version of the 4th chapter. Enjoy!
"So, how did it go?" Ross asked, sliding into the waiting room to find Rachel feeding Emma in one of those uncomfortable waiting chairs.

"Oh, pretty good. That doctor said it was just a stage that about 25% of babies go through in the transaction from nonsolid to solid food. They just have to get accustomed to the new food."

"Well, that's good."

"Yeah. Let's go now." Rachel said, putting Emma in her 'Betty Carrier' and gathering her coat. "Hey, did you get the stuff?"

Ross lifted up the bag. He had buried the software program under the diapers, toys, food, et cetera. "Yup. Plus, I got more food and a new stuffed toy, too."

"Thanks, Ross," Rachel said as they walked out the door.

Then Rachel slipped on the ice on the stairs and fell straight on her back.

(((((()))))))

Monica walked into her and Chandler's hotel room to find Chandler sitting in front of the TV watching The Osbournes. It was already 10:30 PM. She smiled. She knew this place in New Mexico would be perfect for a two-week vacation.

Monica sat down on the chair next to her husband. "Funny show, huh?"

"Yup."

Just then, the phone rang. Monica went to answer it.

"Hi, this is Monica Bing."

"Hi, Monica." It was Ross.

"Hey. You sound worried; what's up?"

"Well."

"What?"

"Rachel slipped on some ice and fell straight on her back"

"Oh my god, is she alright?" Monica went into automatic panic mode.

"She broke her back and is in the hospital."

Monica turned down the TV. "We're coming home."

Chandler sat up at that statement. "What's wrong?"

Monica was walking into her room to pack up already. "Rachel broke her back. We've gotta go. We'd do it for you and they would do it for me."

"Awww." Chandler moaned as he sat up. "But it's so relaxing here. But I guess you're right." He followed her into the bedroom to pack.

(((((((()))))))

"Are you sure I should go? Nothing I could do?" Ross stroked Rachel's head.

Rachel sighed. "No, there is nothing you can do. Please, you can just go home and take care of Emma."

"Okay." Ross stood up and picked up Emma in her carrier. "I'll come back tomorrow to see how you're doing."

"Okay. Thanks Ross."

Ross shut the door behind him. **When Monica and Chandler get here, they can baby-sit Emma and I can go to the library to use my Print shop.**

Ross was driving Rachel's car down main street, almost home, when he looked out the window at Central Perk. Monica and Chandler were drinking coffee, talking to Phoebe in the chair. Monica spotted Ross and rushed outside and urged Ross to open the window.

"Is Rachel okay?" Monica sounded like she just found out she could never have a baby.

"Well, not really, to tell the truth." Ross told them, turning off the radio. "She's hurt pretty bad, but she'll survive, of course."

"Well, we knew that." Chandler joined the conversation.

"Duh. Hey, can you guys watch Emma for an hour or two? I got some errands I have to do."

"Well, of course," Monica put on her baby voice. "For my favorite niece and brother!" Monica said she had to 'practice' her youngster voice for when she had a baby.

"Thanks. Can I pick her up in a few at your place?"

"Sure."

"Thanks." Ross rolled up the window while Monica picked up Emma. "See you later." He sped off toward the library.

((((((((()))))))))

Joey walked into Central Perk just as Ross turned the corner out of view. He took off his coat and hung it up before sitting on the couch next to Monica and Chandler, seeing if she could eat a piece of muffin. "Why do you got Emma? Wait, why are you HERE?"

Monica looked up. "We came back when he heard Rachel was hurt. Ross had to run some errands while Rachel is in the hospital. I think he was heading toward the library." "Yeah." Joey's expression changed. "I sure hope she gets better."

"Yeah, I can't believe this happened!" Phoebe chimed in. "I even wrote a song about it." She picked up her guitar.

((A/N: Gotta make up going a chapter without a funny song! Don't worry, it's short. ))

Joey sat back. "Phebs."

Monica covered Emma's ears.

Phoebe started singing:

I My best friend got so dang hurt

I had to do something so I blamed a clerk

She broke her back by falling on ice

I wonder if it was big ice or just a small slice

Oh my gosh can you believe what is now

I want some curing done, you stupid fat COWS!!

EEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! /I

Phoebe set down her guitar. Everyone was staring at her. She put on her evil eyebrows for just a second. "Hey, a girls gotta express herself!!"

Everyone kept staring.

Joey got up. "That was good, Phebes, but I'm gonna go find Ross. Gotta talk to him."

Monica uncovered little Emma's ears. "Wanna try the muffin again?"

A/N: Hey, not best chapter in the world, but I like it. I need another Review to keep me going!
