AN: We are over halfway now (6 down and maybe 4 including this one to go) I never planned it to be so long but then friends-no1 said make it quite long' so I did Airport, Counterterrorism and Joey! which I think made it better J See, Reviews are influential. But for those wanting to know what Emily is up to, the end is in sight.

The Wedding

There was no way they could do anything about the venue now. A second change was impossible. They couldn't get another place and they'd never be able to explain it if they could.

Maybe the Federal agents will hold her,' Chandler said on the morning of the wedding. You never know, they're taking all this security stuff seriously. Better safe than sorry, that kind of thing.'

And what if they don't?' Monica fretted. They probably wouldn't. The panic where people were in trouble for bringing bottle breast milk onto flights was pretty much over. They'd want some kind of proof that Emily was dangerous – only dangerous to us, Monica thought. Not to jumbo jets. If only she'd get on one and leave.

She'll be out there, waiting to cause trouble,' Monica said. Monica would be in the bridal party with Rachel so she wouldn't be able to see to things herself. What if Emily was lying in wait for when they arrived?

I promise we'll stop her Mon, Joey and I will stop her,' Chandler said. Joey had been nothing but trouble so far Monica thought angrily. How could he have been so stupid? She still hadn't been able to bring herself to say a decent word to him since last night. If she could have brought herself to serve burned food she would have burned his breakfast. She had only made him breakfast at all because she couldn't bear the idea of him cutting a path of destruction through her kitchen. They should have kept him in the dark – but then he might have told Ross or Rachel about Emily's approach to him and that would have exposed everything.

We can't count on Joey,' she told Chandler, Please look out for her.' Chandler gave her a long hug, and taking the twins, went ahead to the venue while Monica went to help Rachel get ready.

Everything was going according to plan. They weren't even running late. They had had such a great time getting ready that Monica was able to forget, or at least push Emily aside in her mind. Rachel looked so lovely in her wedding dress, although Monica thought it wouldn't have mattered what she was wearing, her smile was so beautiful.

They arrived at the venue on time and Monica couldn't help looking around to see if Emily was lurking somewhere.

Are you all right Monica?' Rachel asked.. Monica turned back to her friend.

Sure I am,' Monica said.

Has it gone away?' Rachel whispered.

Has what gone away?'

You know, the infection.'

Oh, yes,' Monica said. She'd forgotten her story at the airport. Just fine. I'm feeling really well. This is just so perfect.'

Yes,' Rachel said happily, It's everything I hoped it would be.' Monica busied herself with some last minute straightening Rachel's dress. But you look more worried than I am.'

I'm not worried at all, why would I be worried?' Monica said.

You keep looking around,' Rachel said. Is everything OK?'

Just looking to see who's here,' Monica said.

Well most people are in there,' Rachel said, indicating the hall she was due to walk into in just a minute. Not out there.'

I just want to make sure everyone who should be here is here.' And as for anyone who shouldn'tShe stood back to let Phoebe kiss Rachel and to let Emma kiss her mother one last time before it all started. She and Phoebe exchanged looks. Phoebe whispered,

So far so good.' Phoebe had taken the chance to have a quick look inside, in case Emily had sneaked in under Chandler and Joey's noses. Monica nodded in acknowledgment. They both looked at Rachel, glad that she didn't suspect a thing.

So Rachel took the walk up the aisle, just the way it ought to have been all along. The flowers were beautiful but Rachel most of all. Ross was standing there, waiting for her with a big smile on his face. He couldn't resist giving her a kiss when she reached him. Monica began to relax and enjoyed the ceremony. No-one else had eyes for anyone but the happy couple

Ross was the first person to notice, out of the corner of his eye, a figure at the far end of the aisle approaching fast, someone he could hardly believe was there. Impossible. He would not turn his head, he would not think of anything or anyone but RachelI Ross take you, Emily.'
