Ross and Rachel continued to kiss. They were so into it that little did they know was that Emma was peeking from the steps. She smiled at her two parents kissing.

'My wish came true!,' Emma thought. Then she slowly and quietly went back upstairs to her room.

"Ross," Rachel began but was trying to catch her breath from the long kiss.

"Oh, I'm sorry Rachel. I didn't mean to. I was just caught up in the moment." Ross began to apologize.

"No Ross, it's ok. You have nothing to be sorry about." Rachel said.

"So do you want to re- think about us getting back together?" Ross asked with a little hope in his voice.

"I think that I already made up my mind before that kiss," Rachel said.

"Oh, well…" Ross began but was cut short by Rachel.

"No Ross. I think that we should give us a try again." Rachel said grabbing a hold of his hands.

"Thank you Rachel. I won't mess this up, I promise. This is what I want." Ross said so happy.

"This is what I want too." Rachel said kissing him again. Then he gave her a hug.

"I better be going, don't want Emma to find out yet." Ross said getting up to leave.

"Ok, um call me tomorrow?" Rachel asked.

"You bet."

"Bye," Rachel said then he left.

'Oh my god! I have to call Monica. No, I'll call her tomorrow.' Rachel thought then went up to her room.

The next afternoon, Emma went over her friend Madison's house, which let Rachel have time to talk to Rachel and Phoebe.

"So what was so big that you had to see us," Phoebe asked taking a sip of her drink.

"Well yesterday, after everyone had left, um Ross kissed me and I didn't stop it." Rachel said.

"Oh my God!" Monica shrieked with delight. It caused everyone in the restaurant to stare at their table, which cause Monica to go red.

"Monica! Keep it down!" Rachel obviously embarrassed.

"Tell us what happened," Phoebe demanded.

"Well, after everyone had left Ross and I started to talk. He started to say things like he wanted us to be a family and be together. It was just really sweet. Then he said that he wanted to give us another try. You know… then he caught me off guard and kissed me." Rachel said with a huge smile on her face.

"How romantic," Phoebe said.

"Yeah it's romantic but… did you say yes on the getting back together part?" Monica asked, she was dying to know.

"Well, yeah. I could tell that he was serious about all of this and I couldn't throw away the chance. I mean, I also want to give us a try. I want to forget about all of things in the past and start anew." Said Rachel.

"I'm so happy for you guys. This will be good for Emma. I know that she would love to see both of her parents together." Monica said.

"Yeah, I can't believe it." Phoebe said smiling.

"Me neither." Rachel said.

The next day Ross came over to the house to take Rachel on their first official date.

"Hi Ross," Rachel said when she opened the door.

"Hey," he said then gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I brought these for you," Ross said holding up a bouquet of lilies.

"You remembered." Rachel said taking the flowers.

'How could I not. I use to get them for you when we were dating the last time and plus you always said how much you liked them." Ross said.

"Let me go put these in water then we can head out." Rachel said walking into the kitchen and putting the flowers into a vase. "Alright lets go. Emma we're about to go" she called upstairs.

"But mom, where is the babysitter?" Emma said coming downstairs.

"Oh crap! I forgot. She should be here in a minute. Lets wait."

"Hi dad," Emma said going over to hug Ross.

"Hey sweetie. How have you been?" Ross said.

"Great! We've received report cards Friday and I forgot to tell you cause I was so excited about the party. I received straight A's" Emma proudly said.

"That's great sweetie. I'm so proud of you," Ross said giving her another hug. Then the door rang. Ross opened it and there was a girl probably around 16- 17 standing there.

"Hi Ms. Green. Sorry I'm late, it was just that I got held up at my job." The girl started to explain.

"It's alright Brittany. Ok, Emma be good for Brittany." Rachel said putting her coat on.

"Don't I always." Emma said.

"Yeah. Alright I'll see you later. Bye," Rachel said giving Emma a kiss on the cheek.

"Bye honey," Ross said doing the same. Then they left.

"That's your dad?" Brittany asked.

"Yep. He's great. They're going out on a date and I'm happy," Emma said sitting on the couch and flipping on the tv.

Ross and Rachel entered a nice restaurant called Bennigan's. It was a nice Irish place. They got they're table and sat down and began to talk.

"This is nice," Rachel said," I have never been here before."

"Well it's Irish, but not all of the food is Irish so you don't have worry." Ross said.

"Ross I'm so happy that we're seeing each other again. I'm mean I have really missed you for all of these years." She said taking a sip of her water.

"I know. I'm also really proud of Emma. God she will make a great scientist or something. She got straight A's." Ross said still can't believe that his nine ear old daughter was so intelligent.

"I'm proud of her too. Your genes rubbed of on her."

"Hi I'm going to be your waitress this evening. What would you like?" The polite waitress asked. So they took their orders and shortly afterwards received their food.

"Have you told anyone else about us except for Emma?" Ross asked taking a bite of his Irish crab cake.

"Well' I've told Monica and Phoebe but that's all. Well Monica was the one who was telling me that we should be together again and when you kissed me I had to agree with her." Rachel said smiling.

"Well I'm glad that you did. I've told Chandler and Joey. So I guess that the whole group knows." Said Ross.

" Yeah they all know," Rachel said.

The two talked on and on for about an hour and a half then decided to leave. Ross drove Rachel back home and they stood on the porch.

"So this is good night then?" Ross asked even though he already knew the answer.

"Yeah," Rachel said. Then Ross leaned in and kissed her. It was more passionate than the one they shared the other day. Rachel then broke the kiss for air.

"I would let you come in but Emma is here and so is the babysitter." Rachel said apologetically.

"It's ok. I better be going. Talk to you later." Ross said. Then he gave her another kiss and was off.

"Bye," she said then she went into the house.

So what did you think? Now review.
