Ross left the coffee house to head upstairs to see if his sister Monica was taking care of his daughter Emma,He would have just shot off to see Rachel but had to make sure Emma was safe first.
'You see Emma,Eventhough Uncle Joey doesnt mind you playing with Hugsy every now and then,You have to understand that Hugsy belongs to Joey...But,If you're a good girl,Maybe one day you'll get your own hugsy!' Joey said to Emma.
'Joe...I dont think Emma understands bribary' Ross said as he entered his apartment.
Joey smiled sarcasticly,'Maybe you or Rachel could get Emma her own Hugsy!' Joey hinted.
Ross headed over to see to Emma,'Joey...I'm gonna need a big favour'.
'Yeah?'
'Could you look after Emma for the night?'
'The whole night?...Couldnt Monica mind her the whole night?' Joey asked.
Ross picked up Emma and rested her on his right hip,'I just need you to make sure she's ok..Whoever looks after her,You or Monica,Its just that I need to go and see whats happened with Rach,I think something has happened..'
'She said she was going to see her Mum...Thats all she said' Joey informed him.
'So can you take care of her Joe?' Ross begged.
Joey nodded,'Yeah...Course I will' He smiled.
Ross kissed Emma on her head and handed her over to Joey,'You know where all her things are?...I dont know if I will be back tonight,It will probably be tomorow,Its 6 already...' Ross realised.
'I'll tell Monica...I might have to ask Mon to look after her tomorow because I have a big audition' Joey told him.
Ross nodded,'Sure thing...Thanks Joe' He said before walking out of the apartment.
Joey bounced Emma up and down,'Just the two of us then huh?' He said.
'Mum...I dont know what to say' Rachel said as she comforted her mother.
'How many years have I lived here Rachel?...And something like this just happens now...' She cried.
'Nobody can ever be sure when they're going to be stolen from mum...' Rachel said.
Rachel had recieved a phonecall from her younger sister Amy a few hours ago asking her to come home fast,Not giving too much away on what exactly was wrong.
'Do you want me to stay the night?' Rachel said.
Her mother didnt say anything,But from her sobs Rachel could tell she would want her to.
'Emma is at Joey's...The only thing is,Ross doesnt know where Ive gone to,We're supposed to be taking Emma out tomorow...' Rachel remembered.
Just by coincidence,Rachel recieved a phonecall from Ross.
'Hello' She answered.
'Rach...Open up' Ross told her.
'What?' Rachel said,Confused.
'I'm outside!'
She stood up from where she was sat and looked outside the window to see Ross on his mobile,He gave her a wave.
She opened the door and he greeted her with a warm hug.
'How did you know...' She asked.
'Gunther told me...'
'Oh,I forgot about telling him...'
'I thought I would come and see if you were ok,Thats all...' Ross told her.
'Well...The house was robbed last night' She told him.
Ross was gobsmacked,'Is everybody ok?' He asked immediately.
Rachel nodded,'They're in one piece if thats what you mean,But mum is destroyed...' She whimpered.
Ross held her close,'Sweetie...Dont worry' He whispered.
She cried quietly in his arms,'But Ross...I should have been here' She cried harder.
'Dont blame yourself..,This is nobody's fault,You're here now...' He comforted her.
'I'm gonna need to stay the night...,Mum needs me...' She told him.
'I'll stay too..' He told her.
She looked up,'Are you sure?...I could do with the support' She smiled slightly.
'Sure I'll stay,Emma is safe with Joey...Your mum needs you,And you need me...' He said pulling her close to him again.
'Right...Lets go and speak with your mum,We need to make sure everything is being done to help her back on her feet again' Ross said to her,Holding onto her hand and taking her into the sitting room.
'Hi Mrs Green..' He said to Rachels mother as they entered the room.
Rachel sat down in the chair close to the door,And Ross made his way over to Rachels mother to see what he could do to help.
'Im really sorry to hear what happened...Have you rang up the police?' Ross asked.
She nodded,'Yes,They're doing all they can to track the thieves down..'
'What about Insurance?'
'I have it...if thats what you mean' She told him.
He grabbed onto her hand and squeezed it,'Well,Thats one good thing eh?' He said,Trying to cheer her up.
She just let out a small sob,'I'll get us something to drink..' Ross offered.
He looked over at Rachel,She was looking at her mother who was now in floods of tears.
'It'll be ok...' Ross said to them both as he left the room to go into the kitchen.
