Ross stood in front of the bathroom mirror, combing back his wet hair from this morning's shower. He had noticed something lately in his appearance, he was looking older lately, but possibly more attractive. How vein. 'Sweetie, pass me the towel.' Rachel shouted from the shower, they had shared a shower but Rachel always took the longest, as she was a woman after all. 'Hang on Rach…' he told her, putting a palm full of gel through his hair, he had started using gel more now too, maybe he was feeling younger lately. He placed the comb on the side and reached out for the towel hung up on the door, he walked over to the shower where the curtain was drew over to hide Rachel's naked body, 'There you go…' he told her, holding it out at arms reach so she could reach it easily. She grabbed it from his hands, and he remained standing next to the bath, admiring her fine silhouette through the shower curtain, her figure was the figure that he imagined most woman to want, slim, smooth and sexy. As he daydreamed, she pushed the shower curtain aside, revealing herself in a towel. 'Hi baby..' she smiled, her hair was dripping wet and the only thing keeping the towel on her body was her one hand, 'your such a tease…' Ross told her. She smiled with satisfaction, it had always worked, possibly even more now at this age. 'Did you not get enough last night huh?' she asked him, he was visibly staring at her now, which would usually make women feel uncomfortable, not her. He laughed as she climbed out of the shower, 'Shame we haven't got much time till we have to go and collect Emma, we could have continued last night's activities…' she said, being even more of a tease now.

She padded over to the sink to wash her face, the water dripped from her nose and chin, inviting Ross to wipe the water from her face. He stood behind her, his arms wrapped around her waist. 'I could get used to this…' she smiled, placing her right hand on his cheek as he dropped his head in the nape of her neck. 'Shame that we will be back at work next week…' She sighed, they looked directly in front of them at the mirror, they looked at their reflection, and it was almost like a painting. 'Your so beautiful…' he told her, like he did everyday, but something about the way he said it today was different, he was looking at her in the reflection as he said it, deep into her eyes as she blushed slightly. 'Oh Ross…' She turned around now to face him, his hair was still dripping wet, tiny drops of water were on his forehead, and she gently wiped his forehead and kissed his mouth. 'Are you happy?' he asked her, stroking her face with his finger. She nodded, 'more than I have ever been.' she told him. He smiled, that was what he wanted to hear, and if he wasn't making her happy then there would be no point. Sometimes when he was slightly unhappy, seeing her smile and laughter was a reason for him to forget the things that didn't quite matter, she was his sunshine of every morning and night. 'I'm glad…' he told her, as he held her hand and kissed it. 'Lets go and get ready huh?' he suggested, it was getting later and later the more they got caught up in the moment, their daughter would be missing them terribly, and they certainly were too.

Emma did as her Grandmother told her, 'Now you sit there Emma, mummy and daddy will soon be here.' Those two words rang in the little girl's ears, her mummy and daddy would soon come and take her home, she wasn't aware of much, but she knew when her mother and father were there or not. 'Mama!' she yelled as she was placed into her pushchair, 'Dada!' she yelled again, letting her grandmother know that she understood what was planned for her today, it was time to go home. 'That's right Emma, mummy and daddy will be here to collect you very shortly, and you'll be going to your brand new house…' Sandra told her young granddaughter, handing her a rattle to keep herself occupied till Ross and Rachel got there, considering their trouble on the road yesterday, she imagined they would be late, either that or she would get a phone call from one of them asking her to meet them on an unknown road. The door knocked. 'Oh…' she walked over to the front door to see the shadows of what looked like her daughter and future son in law. 'Hello you two…' she greeted them as she answered the door, 'earlier than I would have guessed…' They both walked in, arm in arm as they explained to Mrs Greene about their journey yesterday. 'We managed to get here today, but we wont speak too fast…we have to make the journey back home soon' Ross said, he helped Rachel with her coat as he pulled it from her back before hanging it with his own on the coat stand. 'And how is my beautiful daughter…' Rachel said, noticing her little angel in her pushchair in the front room, Emma waved her chubby arms up and down with excitement to see her parents after two days. 'Has she been good for you?' Ross asked her, Rachel had now made her way over to her daughter to give her the love and attention she had missed out on from her mother the past two days. 'She's been as good as gold.' Mrs Greene told him, 'How about I make us a nice cup of tea and you two can tell me about your new home?' She didn't wait for an answer from them, she was more than sure that they would be more than happy to have a warm drink after the long drive.

Emma lay in-between both of her parents, her head resting on Rachel's stomach as her tiny legs stretched over Ross's thigh, she was a baby who enjoyed the attention of both parents, she was neither mommy or daddy's girl, she was both. 'The house is beautiful mom…you will have to come and see it when it's all done up, it's a bit of a mess at the moment.' Rachel told her mother who was asking about the new house. 'Well dear, that is what moving is all about, the mess and the stress…' Mrs Greene joked.

The conversation moved swiftly from house talk to marriage talks, which was pretty much what they expected, they had announced their engagement almost 3 weeks ago now and they knew their parents were eager to know of a wedding date, but the truth was, they didn't know yet themselves. 'Mom, we are engaged but we aren't yet thinking about the actual wedding yet…' Rachel explained, afraid that her mother would become upset or angry with her, seeing as she had let her down in the past with weddings. Ross took hold of Rachel's hand, 'Mrs Greene, we know that there will be a wedding, but when…we don't quite know, you can understand that right?' he asked her, feeling the sweat from Rachel's palms, she was always a nervous wreck when it came to her parents, unlike Ross.

Sandra seemed to be understanding, 'you don't have to explain to me, I am just so excited about it, why don't we all go out together to celebrate the engagement, I could meet your parent's Ross, and your parents can meet Rachel's, how about that?' she suggested, both Ross and Rachel a little lost for words. They loved their parents, but sharing the evening with both of their parents wouldn't quite be an evening they would wish for, 'well, do you really think you could stay in the same room as Daddy mom?' Rachel asked her mother, aware that her parents had said less than two words to one another over the past 3 years. 'If it's a special occasion such as this, we will have to cope wont we? Besides…we will have to be in each other's company at the wedding…' she reminded them. 'Well, Ok mom…' Rachel nodded, if her mother was willing to be civil, she would be happy with her parents being together as long as she stuck to her word. 'I'll get in touch with my parents then, we'll sort it out for a few weeks time…' Ross promised, making Rachel's mother smile. 'Well this is brilliant…' She said, both Ross and Rachel were more than happy about the thought of this now, they were as happy as ever now and the thought of a wedding excited both of them, it just wasn't in schedule as yet. 'We'll have to get going now mom…' Rachel said, realising that they had been there now for over an hour, they had planned on taking Emma somewhere for a while, but they would have to head straight home now. Emma was falling asleep anyway now, 'Look at her…' Rachel's mother cooed. Ross smiled as he picked up his daughter gently, 'I'll put her in the car Rach, I'll see you outside…Bye Mrs Greene…' he said, carrying Emma out of the room, ready to head to their new home. 'I'll give you a call Mom, thank you for looking after Emma, we really appreciate it…this whole celebration thing is so sweet, thanks mom' she said, embracing her mother with a hug. 'I love you being so happy sweetie, I really do…' Rachel couldn't agree more with her mother, she loved seeing herself this happy.
