The next day after Rachel dropped Emma off at school she went over Monica and Chandler's house hoping to talk to Ross. She arrived there a few minutes after dropping off Emma. She walked up the steps to the house and then knocked on the door. After the second knock someone answered.

"Hey Ross," Rachel said.

"Hi Rachel. What are you doing here so early in the morning. Don't you have work?" Ross asked.

"Yeah, but I wanted to talk to you. About Emma." Rachel said.

"Oh yeah, sure. Come on in." Ross said gesturing her into the house. When Rachel and Ross made themselves comfortable on the sofa then they began to talk.

"So what is it?" Ross asked.

"Well, Emma has decided that she does want to get to know you." Rachel said.

"Oh, that's great. I'm so glad that she agreed." Ross said excitedly. He was glad that he was finally going to get to know his daughter.

"But she told me that she is not calling you dad," she said kind of feeling bad for him that his own daughter wouldn't call him dad.

"Oh," he said with a hint of disappointment in his voice." But I'm confused because she did call me dad the other day."

"Ross she was confused, she just said it. Just give her sometime she'll come around. You can't rush her. I mean she didn't come out of her room for a whole day because she was crying." Rachel said.

"God, I shouldn't have left. I should be there consoling her." Ross said almost to tears.

"Ross you can be there." She said and then slightly put her hand on top of his. She quickly took it off. "Sorry" she said blushing a bit.

"It's ok."

"What are you going to say when she asks you why did you leave?" Rachel asked curiously.

"I haven't thought about that. We'll see when that time comes. Ok?" he said.

"Alright. So can you come for dinner tonight at my place say 7? I think we should start. I don't think Emma would be comfortable around you by herself yet."

"Sounds good. I'll be there." Ross said.

"Ok. I should be going. I'll tell Emma that you're coming over when I pick her up from school. Bye." She said before walking out.

"Bye"

Later that afternoon, Rachel went to pick Emma up from school. When Emma got into the car, they began to talk.

"So what did you do today?" Rachel asked keeping her eyes straight ahead.

"Well today in art we painted a picture. Mine was of a dinosaur that I saw in a book once. People laughed at me because they think dinosaurs suck." Emma said.

Rachel laughed at that comment," Well honey I have some news for you."

"What?" Emma asked.

"Well, I talk to your dad today. I mean Ross," Rachel said correcting herself.

"Thank you," Emma said.

"Well as I was saying, I talked to Ross and told him what you said. He is really excited to see you again and get to know you. Well he's coming over tonight for dinner. Is that ok. I can call him at aunt Monica's and tell him another time." Rachel said.

"No mom. That's perfect, it's ok." Emma said.

"Good." Rachel said gratefully and they drove in silence the rest of the way home.

As soon as they got home Rachel had began to cook. It was baked chicken, macaroni and cheese with broccoli and an apple pie for desert. She had started to learn to cook when Emma was 2 and she was the eating table food. She figured she would need to cook since she was a mother. Rachel was just going to get the chicken out of the oven when there was a knock on the door.

"Emma! Could you get that for me?" Rachel called upstairs. When she didn't receive an answer she called again. "Emma?" Then there was another knock. She was probably still getting ready and didn't hear her, so she went to get the door. When she answered it Ross was standing in the door way with a gift bag and flowers.

"Hi Ross," Rachel said letting him in.

"Hi. Nice place you have here. Oh um… the flowers are for you to keep on the kitchen table or something and the gift bag is for Emma." Ross said as she sat the things down on the coffee table in the living room.

"Thanks. That was nice. Let me go put these in water and go set up the food for dinner. " Rachel said picking up the flowers from the table and went to the kitchen putting them in the water.

Ross looked around the living room area. It was really nice. Ross could tell that Rachel had purchased all of her furniture from Pottery Barn because he noticed the apothecary table. He then gazed around the walls. There was a picture of Emma when she was a baby, a picture of Rachel and Emma posing nice together. He figured it was their family portrait. He got kind of sad seeing that he was missing from the photo. That made him want to fix what he had messed up. He was broken out of his thoughts when he heard footsteps behind him. Ross turned around and saw Emma standing behind him.

"Hi Emma," Ross said smiling at her.

"Hi," Emma responded politely.

"Guys time to eat," Rachel said.

Everyone began to eat then made small talk. After everyone was finished Ross went to go get the present.

"So Emma I hear that you like dinosaurs from you're mom. So I picked up this for you." Ross said handing the bag to Emma.

"What is it?" Emma asked.

"Well, open it." Ross said. Emma opened the bag and shrieked in happiness.

"Oh my god! It's a dinosaur bone. Thank you Ross." Emma said jumping up to hug Ross. Ross gratefully returned the hug.

"Well you're are welcome." Ross said.

"Wow I have never seen someone get all excited over a bone," Rachel said smiling.

"Thank you again Ross. I'll go put this in my room." Emma said getting up from the table and running upstairs to her room.

"That was a really nice thing Ross," Rachel said as she started to clear the table.

"Oh it was nothing. I'm just glad that she wasn't yelling at me." Ross said getting up to help her.

"Ross you don't have to help, you're the guest."

"It's the least I can do," he said continuing cleaning up. He dropped a fork on the floor. They both were quick to pick it up. When they both reached for the fork Rachel looked up into Ross's eyes and Ross did the same. Rachel quickly picked up the fork and put it in the sink.

"Sorry," Ross said apologetically.

"You didn't do anything," Rachel said starting to wash the dishes.

" Rach, I just want to say again how sorry I am. I really messed up. I mean I was looking at you and Emma's picture on the wall and I just wish that I was there." Ross said.

"You could have been Ross but that was your choice to leave," Rachel said.

"I know. Um… and also I am moving back to New York. I'm looking for a job and an apartment." Ross said changing the subject.

"That's great Ross. Emma seems to like you now maybe that is where she can come and visit you."

"Yeah," he said getting the rest of the stuff from the table.

"Hey Ross," Emma said coming down the stairs." I was wondering if we could go to the movies sometime. I would really like to get to know you more"

"Yeah, sure. What are dads for." Ross said with a smile on his face.

"Thanks," Emma said she had missed the dad part.

"Well I guess I'll see you guys later. It's getting late," Ross said going to the living room to get his coat.

"Bye Ross," Emma said.

"Bye Emma," Ross replied back. She then disappeared upstairs.

"So I guess you can come and get Emma Saturday for the movies," Rachel said.

"Yeah. I will. I just want to be a dad you know?"

"Yeah I do. Thanks Ross for not pushing her tonight."

"No problem," Then he left.
