The film had been playing for 30 minutes,Neither Ross or Rachel had spoken a word since it started.

Rachel looked over at Ross quickly to see if she was the only one feeling distracted by the atmosphere,Ross was sat with his eyes directed at the TV but she noticed that he looked very thoughtful.

This is it,She thought.

She had to say something.

'Ross?' She asked getting his attention immediately.

Ross turned to face her.

'Why do I feel so...Awkward' She asked him.

'You feel it too?' Ross replied.

Rachel sat up from her place,'I am enjoying myself,But...I feel strange' She said honestly.

Ross nodded,'I feel the same way,Its not because we're together alone,But I just feel weird because of the situation and well...its us'

'Thats the thing Ross.It always remains in my mind,the subject of us but I dont know why...can I ask you something?'

'Ask away..'

'Do you think we're kidding ourselves?' She asked him.

'Kidding ourselves? In what way Rach?' He asked her.

Rachel realised that she had said to much,She wished she hadnt said it because she would have to tell him now about her feelings.

'About us Ross...Do you think that we're just being stupid?'

'What are you trying to tell me Rach?' He asked her,Not having a clue where she was going with the conversation.

'I shouldnt have said anything,Forget it..' She told him.

Ross shook his head,'Rach? If its bothering you,Tell me'

She did want to tell him how she felt,But she knew that he probably didnt feel the same so what was the point?

They were interupted then by Emma's cries.

'I..I'll get her' Rachel said.

Ross stood up before her,'Ill get her,Now I want to know whats on your mind when I get back Rach' He told her before heading into Rachel's bedroom to see Emma.

'Is my little angel hungry?' Ross asked his daughter,Obviously not expecting an answer.

Ross picked her up out of her crib,'I think you need changing too princess' He said,Smelling a whiff of something he was quite used to these days.

'Rach?' He shouted into the next room,'Can you pass me some diapers?' He asked her.

Rachel was sat in the lounger trying to figure out a way in telling him her feelings,She couldnt just blurt out with it.

'Isnt there some in there?' She asked him now getting up from her place.

'Not that I can see' He replied to her now putting Emma on her changing mat.

Rachel rooted through Emma's baby bag to find her diapers,'Got some..' She said before taking them to Ross.

'Shes back asleep now..' Ross told Rachel coming back into the sitting room.

'Sit down Ross..' She quickly told him.

He did what she asked him and even pulled the lounger a little closer to her.

'What is it Rach?' He asked her.

Rachel brushed her fringe behind her ear and began to talk.

'Im still there Ross...' She started.

'There?' He asked.

'Yes...Im still there,where I was 5 years ago' She told him.

Ross thought he understood what she meant,But he unfortunately didnt know what to say to her.

'I..I,I dont know what to say Rach,but you mean there as still feeling for me?' He asked her.

She nodded.

He breathed out.

She twiddled with her thumbs.

'Are you asking me to think about getting back together?' Ross asked her after 3 minutes of not talking at all.

Rachel was sure on that answer,Ofcourse she wanted him back in her arms but she also didnt want to pressurise him into getting back together with her.

'No..Im not asking that,Im just letting you know that I feel the same way as I did all those years ago,Theres a lot between us that has gone wrong...But everyday I see you...I..I..' She stopped and felt a rush of emotion come over her.

Ross didnt know what to do,But he knew that if she started to cry which was very likely,he would do what he always did and that was to comfort her.

'Rach...I would be lying if I said that I didnt feel anything for you,Because I do..' He began.

Rachel looked up at him,Hoping that he would eventually give in and rekinkle their love.

'But...'

That word 'But',Rachel hated to hear.

'I dont want to risk it,You know what happened last time and that hurt both of us for a long time Rach...I dont want to start things up again because Im scared of ruining thing forever,And for Emma...' He told her.

She knew on some level he was right,But she didnt understand what he meant by ruining it for them,'Why would it be ruined Ross?...Even after what happened last time,We're still here and we're still close..' She said.

'Dont think that I dont love you,Because I do Rach...You and Emma are the two things in my life that are precious' He told her.

'So...Why cant we just...'

'Im scared Rach,Thats why..' He said firmly.

Rachel stood up now,'I just dont see the point in wasting time,Why cant we just make the most of what we have?' She begged.

Ross hated seeing her like that,But the biggest fear for him was to hurt her again,He didnt want to do that.

Neither of them spoke for a few seconds,Ross decided that it was time to leave.

'Dont think that I turned you down,Its not like that' He told her.

Rachel now knew that it was like for Ross all those times she turned him down.

'Do you remember when we were dating and you told me that you knew we would end up together?' She reminded him.

Ross nodded,'Yes..'

'Think about that Ross...' She told him.

She padded off to her bedroom,Lightly shutting the door behind her.

Ross wanted to follow her,But he knew that would only make things more complicated.

No,He would have to think this through.
