Chapter 4: The Message

Ross woke up to the sound of his wife sobbing beside him. "Rach" he whispered sitting up. "I..I can't sleep Ross every time I close my eyes I see Emma she's crying for me but I can't get to her" he pulled her into his arms holding her while she cried against his chest. "Shh its gonna be okay sweeite" he whispered kissing the top of her head. "Wh..what if its not what if we never get her back" she sobbed. "That won't happen Rach we'll get her back I promise" he held her close hoping that was a promise he could keep. He looked at the clock on the nightstand it was 6:30 in the morning. He sighed "Sweeite wanna go down stairs and get some tea or coffee" she nodded knowing she wouldn't be able to get any more sleep.

Monica and Chandler were already up. Chandler was making coffee, Monica was feeding Daniel. She looked at the tiny baby in her arms. She ran a finger over the dark hair on his head. She thanked God her children were safe and hoped that her niece was safe too. Ross and Rachel walked into the kitchen. "Morning" Monica whispered "Did Daniel's crying wake you" Rachel walked over to her sister in law "No we were awake" she whispered playing with the baby's hand. "Couldn't sleep either" Chandler asked Ross just nodded his eyes on his wife and sister. Daniel wrapped his hand around Rachel's finger causing her to burst in tears.

"Rach, sweeite what is" Ross asked "Daniel he...he wrapped his little hand around my finger I..I remember when Emma did that sh…she was so cute and tiny" "Oh Ross I want my baby back" she sobbed. He wrapped his arms around her holding her tight. "We'll get her back Rach, we'll get her back" he whispered. Monica watched her brother and sister in law. Tears filled her eyes "I...I'm gonna go put Daniel down and check in the twins" she whispered leaving the room. Chandler sighed following her.

Monica went to the nursery laying the baby in his crib. Chandler walked in behind her. "It...its my fault Chandler, our niece is missing and its my fault" he wrapped his arms around her. "Shh its okay honey" he whispered 'It's not your fault okay" he looked into her eyes "It's not your fault" he repeated brushing a tear from her cheek. "Rachel thinks it is" she whispered. He sighed "Sweeite she didn't mean those things she said last night she was and still is really upset" He took her hand "Lets check on the twins and head back downstairs okay" she nodded "I love you" he caressed her cheek "I love you too"

Ross had gotten Rachel to calm down when Ben came in the kitchen yawning and rubbing his eyes "Ben why are you up we told you last night you didn't have to g to school today" he nodded "I know dad I couldn't sleep I kept thinking about Emma I..I was kinda mean to her yesterday" he whispered. "How were you mean to her" he asked "I called her a spoiled brat and said spoiled brats had to live alone in a cave" Ross sighed "Ben that's just teasing I teased your aunt Monica all the time"

"You still do" Monica commented as she and Chandler returned to the kitchen. "Your dad is right sweeite its normal to tease your sister or brother" she said hugging her nephew. "I love my baby sister aunt Monica she's gonna come home isn't she" Monica looked at Ross then back at Ben "Yes of course she's gonna come home" she whispered hoping she was right. Rachel couldn't take it anymore she ran from the room in tears. Ross sighed and started to go after her when he felt his cell phone vibrate. He looked ta the screen it said he had a new text message. He looked from the phone to the direction Rachel ran.

"Go on answer it, it might be about Emma, I'll go check on Rachel" Chandler told him. "Thanks" he whispered "Hey what's family for" Chandler said as he left the room to look for Rachel. Ross looked down at his phone he pressed the text button. He stared at the text message. "I have your daughter meet me at Central Perk at 10 tonight if you want her back, and no police!" Monica saw the look on her brother's face "Ross what's wrong? What does it say" she asked with concern.

"It...its from the kidnaper she wants me t…to meet her if I want Emma back" she looked at him with wide eyes "You're not thinking of going are you" he looked at his sister "She has my daughter Mon!" "I know but she might be dangerous what if you get hurt" he sighed "So tell me if it were one of your kids that you wouldn't go" Monica looked down at her hands "I..I don't know" he shook his head "Yes you do, you know damn well you'd go if it were Jack, Erica or Daniel!" She began to cry "I...I'm not sayin g not to go at all I…I'm saying call the police" he ran his hand through his hair "I..I can't the message said no police"

"Okay then let me go with you" she suggested 'What! No way Mon you're not going" she sighed "Alright then Chandler or Mike ju…just please don't go alone" Ross sighed as he looked back down at the message still on his phone. He didn't know what to do. He wanted his little girl back but he knew Rachel would be as upset as Monica was if he were to go alone, he was afraid to involve the police he had no idea what this woman would do to Emma if her did, and if he took Chandler or Mike and something happened to one of them he'd hate himself for putting them in danger. He looked up at his little sister tears in her eyes. "Mon I…I'm …"
