The gang were completely in shock over Monica and Chandler's news, it proved that when somebody wanted something so bad, god took their side and made their wish come true. Rachel had remembered when herself and Monica played 'Happy families' when they were young, using their dolls as babies. Monica had always been baby mad, and everybody knew that.
'What are you doing today baby?' Ross asked Rachel who was busy flicking through the maternity catalogue, marking the items she desired, she always did this and left the catalogue open so Ross could see what she wanted, and of course he would be more than happy to fulfil her needs, or wants.
'I've taken a day's leave today, I wasn't feeling too well when I woke up so I called in sick…' She told him, 'Bit of morning sickness…'.
Ross sat down beside her, 'Are you ok sweetheart?' he asked, 'I'll stay here if you want…'.
Rachel smiled, 'I adore you do you know that?' She said, before letting him speak she had given him a hard but tender kiss letting him know that she was wanting more than a night in front of the TV tonight.
'I adore you too angel, as long as you know that I'm only a phone call away if you need me..' he told her.
'Ross, I'll be fine and I will call you if I need you..' she promised, 'I'll probably go and see Monica this afternoon anyway..' she told him, 'We are the pregnant twins now after all…' she laughed.
'Where's Emma?' Ross asked her.
'I put her back to bed, she didn't get much sleep last night…'
'Yeah…I know' Ross told her, 'I was up at 5am seeing to her like you were at around 1?' he said.
Rachel nodded, 'She had a bit of a cough last night too, I might have to take her to the paediatrician' She told him.
'Mr Gettlemen?'
'Yeah…' Rachel said, giggling slightly, 'Hey you might as well tell him when you go there today that your daughter possibly has the flu..' Rachel joked.
Ross couldn't help but laugh, 'Yeah well your out of luck today Miss Greene because I'm not going there today, I only go when I have something really wrong with me…'
'Like what huh?'
'Well…'
' A nappy rash?' Rachel asked him, laughing loudly now, her nose wrinkled when she laughed which Ross had always adored.
Ross had nothing more to say on the subject, 'Well…I'm going…' He said, placing a kiss on the top of her head, 'Oh and Rach…'
'Yeah?'
'I love you.' he told her.
Rachel blew him a kiss, 'Love you too Mr Gellar…Now go on Dino boy. Get to work!' She ordered him.
He was soon out of the apartment, leaving Rachel with her catalogue and bucket near incase she was sick once again.
Joey was sat over at Chandler and Monica's apartment, eating out of the fridge as per usual. 'Where did you get these chips from huh?' Joey asked, 'They're delicious!' He said.
'Well we wouldn't have a chance to taste them would we Joe?' Chandler said sarcastically, but her knew deep down her wouldn't want it any differently. Joey had been doing this on a daily basis now for over 4 years.
'HA HA…Not funny' Joey scowled, before getting back to his pack of chips.
'Hunny, I have to go to work now, I'll be back for dinner…' Monica announced to her husband as she left the bathroom dressed for work, 'Hey Joe…' she said as she noticed he was sitting at the table helping himself to food.
'Hey mon, you have morning sickness this morning?' Joey asked, still excited that there was a baby growing inside his friends stomach, 'I still can't believe I'm going to be an uncle to a baby Bing!' He said.
Monica adored his excitement but still wanted to keep things low key, despite the brilliant news, things could still go wrong at this point, she didn't like to think of it that way but it was something all mothers thought of at this stage. 'No morning sickness today, mind you. I don't know what it feels like do I?' he realised, 'I have my first doctors appointment tomorrow though, we'll find out what's going on then I guess…'.
'Before you go Mon, I need to talk to you and Chandler about something…' he told them.
'I kind of have to run Joe..' Monica interrupted, already aware that she was late for work.
'Its important…' Joey told her, hoping that now she would hear him out.
She did.
The three of them sat at the table, Joey trying to find the right words on how to begin.
'Ive been offered a job..' he began.
'Wow, what's the part?' Chandler asked.
'It's a really big part…'
'Wow!' Monica and Chandler both said, 'So when do you start rehearsing?' they asked.
Joey sighed. 'There's more to it, if I was to take the part, I would have to move…to LA' he told them.
He focused on their facial expressions, hoping that they would begin to speak.
'I think its great..' Monica told him, 'It's a change…but it's too big to not take' she told him.
Chandler nodded, 'She's right Joe, this is your break..' he told him.
The word 'break' was music to his ears, he had always hoped for his big break for so long, this was something he did have to do whether it meant a big change to his life or not. Things were already changing around him, maybe he had to get moving too.
