Rachel looked over at the clock . It said one. She pulled the covers off and ran. She had about one hour to get to the church and stop this travesty. She pulled out her suitcase and started to throw things. She pulled out her killer dress and it was wrinkled. There would be no time for ironing it. She spied a note on the night stand..

Rachel,

Glad you could make it after all. Chandler and I were getting breakfast and then getting ready. I know this is hard for you but things will get better. I guess I will see you at the wedding it is at two.

Love, mon

PS If it still bothers you, you don't have to come. I'll tell you all about when I get home.

Rachel smiled. It was all going to work out. She just had to have the faith that's all.

She pulled out her back up dress, a sky blue with spaghetti straps that didn't need to be ironed. She jumped into the shower and straightened her hair. As she put on her lipstick , she spied a cab and ran downstairs in her Prada pumps.

"Taxi ! Taxi ! " she cried.

"Where to missy, "he said with a Cockney accent.

"St James, and step on it, " he obediently drove away.

Monica looked over at Chandler as she stood in the doorway. They both had very unsure looks on their faces.

"So Rachel came in this morning. I hope she has made peace with this." said Monica as she was trying to start a conversation. "I left her a note."

"Are you glad she's here?" Chandler asked pointedly.

"Well I just hope that she won't cause any problems but I am kind of glad she decided to come." Monica sweetly said.

After this , Monica and Chandler just stood and looked at each other. They really didn't know what to say to each other. Last night had been incredible . But there was too many repercussions for what happened last night. How would their friends react? Would this change things when they got back to New York?

Rachel came running in the church. Joey was supposed to be a look out but he was occupied with Felicity again. There was an argument at the front of the church again. Rachel thought she recognized one of the voices that was yelling. It was Jack Geller's . She took one more breath to brace herself. Then she started into the church. It was going to be fine. She was glad that they she made the flight. Then she saw a sight that crushed her very being…Ross was kissing Emily very passionately.

Tears glistened from her eyes. That was it. It was over. She had lost him forever. Why did she have to ask for that break? Why couldn't she trust him again? All she had to do was turn around and walk out. Maybe she could get a flight back to the States? She only needed to do get out of there before she was spotted. She moved her heels to turn around and then she heard him.

"Rachel, I am so glad you made it." Ross cried.

Rachel choked on her words, "I just wanted to say congratulations."The tears were very present, but she tried to hide them from her dear friend on his day. He threw him arms around her. She had so wanted to have those arms around her again. She grabbed on to Ross and hung on to him not wanting to ever let go. Slowly he backed away as the music was starting.

"I gotta go, rach, I'll see you later kay?" he said casually. He kept looking back at her.

They looked so nice all dressed up thought Rachel . Ross always did look good dressed. Up. It was nice to see when Joey and Chandler were as well. Rachel decided to be adult about the whole thing. She knew it would never work between them. At least the chapter of Ross and Rachel finally had an end. He could move on and be happy.

Monica had the biggest smile on her face. She waved at Rachel as she walked by. Rachel noticed that she was particularly friendly to Chandler this afternoon. Emily's maid of honor ,Felicity kept smiling at Joey. Rachel giggled. She knew Joey Tribbiani, and chances were good that he had slept with her. As the music swelled , Rachel gasped.

Emily was escorted by her father down the aisle. Her father seemed to be mumbling something as he passed the Gellers. She looked absolutely beautiful in her white gown and small tiara. Ross extended his hand and she took her place beside her groom. He gazed in to her eyes prepared to give her anything she wanted. Ross's eyes caught a glimpse of Rachel as she wiped a tear away. Emily gave him a shy smile and turned to face the priest. He extolled the virtues of marriage then he continued to the vows. Rachel wanted to run. Emily looked into those brown puppy eyes that once were hers and promised her love. Here it comes, Rach, game over,she thought.

"Repeat after me, I Ross… I Ross, he softly said Take thee Emily…Take thee Rachel…….

Rachel? Rachel? It echoed when she heard it. Why did he say her name? Were her instincts correct? Did he still love her?

The church was buzzing. Who was this Rachel? This is what happens when one of our own married a bloody Yank. Monica had a shocked look on her face. Chandler and Joey just looked at each other with their mouths agape. Joey held a cell phone so Phoebe could hear what was going on. Emily was clutching her fist in preparation for Ross's jaw.

Ross held his head in confusion. He started up the aisle and walked up to Rachel. "Could I see you,?' he angrily said. "Excuse me." he said as he pushed his way up the aisle. They found an empty changing room and he slammed the door.

Ross turned and spun to Rachel, "What the hell do you think you're doing?" he asked accusingly.

Rachel innocently said, "Well, I thought I needed a few days away from work so I changed my mind."

"No you told me that you couldn't take the time off. And now you're here. What's goin on Rach?"he accused.

Rachel knew the time was now. Speak now or forever hold her peace. She held her nose and jumped.

"Ross I still love you." she said. He looked at her not with the tenderness he would have , but with a feeling of anger.

"Well Rachel, I am sorry to say that it is a little bit late for that. I am getting married." he started to turn.

"Ross, I have been fighting this all the way from New York. I thought it would make a difference if you knew how I feel. I am still in love with you."

He started to soften a little by looking at her. He bit his lips as he tried to talk, Then his anger got the best of him again. "Rachel please don't fuck with me. If I recall right this isn't the first time this has happened. I left Julie and Bonnie for you and if I recall right I ended up getting screwed in the end. We got back together and I ended up getting blamed for everything in our relationship. If I would go back to you, how do I know that you wouldn't do it to me again?"

His eyes told the story. He wanted to hate her , yet she could look into those eyes and see deep into his soul. He wanted to have her back with him, but he was scared. He had been hurt too many times not to be cautious.

Rachel took his hands, "Ross, I learned my lesson and it took me almost losing you to realize I never want you to leave me again. Now I know you said my name for a reason, what was that reason?" she earnestly asked.

Ross took a deep breath and said, "Because I do love you." he then took her face in his hands and started to kiss her. Their lips touched and then they just began to mash together. He forced his tongue in her mouth and her mouth willingly opened.

The next thing they heard was a door opening. "You guys, everyone is wonder…Oh my God!!! Does this mean what I think, " squealed Monica.

Ross pulled away from Rachel for a second. "Yep, it does, Rach and I are back together. Please get Emily so I can talk with her okay." he said.

Monica turned and walked fast into the church. Emily was in the front pew talking with her father. Monica had a serious look on her face. "Emily, Ross needs to talk with you." she said.

"Now we'll find out what is bloody going on?" she angrily said as she plowed up the aisle of the chapel.

Ross gave Rachel a peck on the cheek. "I think you'd better go for a few minutes. This isn't going to be easy , but I would much rather have you out of here right now." he said.

"I'll be waiting outside sweetie." Rachel sweetly said.

Emily's stepmother put a call through on her mobile. "Colin, it's Christine , yes Emily's stepmother. You still want to get her back then I suggest you drop whatever you are bloody doing and get down here. The Yank 's girlfriend came from New York and he said her name and Emily is beside herself. Put on a tie and come down to St James."

Colin walked out of the office and got in his car. It was still in the glove compartment from the night he was going to propose. It wasn't too late. Fate had given him another chance . Colin was getting his Emily back.

Don't worry there's more..never thought Ross should have married her..there is more mon and chandler too. Sorry there isn't that much phoebe or joey..in this one.
