'Hon?'
'Yeah?' Ross answered from his study room, he was busy grading papers from this midterm at the university.
'I'm late…'
'Late?'
'My periods late Ross…' she confirmed, peering her head around the corner of the door, 'I am a week late…' She grinned. She had only remembered being late one time before and that was when she was pregnant with Emma.
Ross put his pen down on the desk and walked over to her at the door, 'Oh, God I hope it means something…' He told her, they had been trying for a baby now for almost 5 months, still no luck which was strange seeing as the time they weren't planning a baby, they were given Emma. 'It might mean something, and it might mean nothing, so lets not get our hopes up, but yeah, there's a chance.' she smiled, he leaned in to kiss her, her hands pressed up against his chest as his hands were placed at the back of her neck, 'shall I go and take the pregnancy test?' she asked him, as they finished their kiss.
'Why not? You go and take it hon, it's the only way to find out…'
'But, I'm a bit scared.' She told him. Ross frowned, 'why's that baby?' his hands now placed on her ass, his knee in-between her legs, very suggestively. 'Because, well…I want it to be positive so much that I'm scared to find out the result, just like when I had Emma, I was so terrified and I needed the girls to help me…' She explained.
'Oh Rach, but this is different now because we both know we want it…when we found out you were pregnant with Emma, we weren't expecting it, you were scared that time because you wasn't sure how things would work out.. …'
She nodded. 'I know, but Ross? Can you…come in and be with me while I take it?' she asked him, she wouldn't usually ask him but something about today made her feel so desperate to see that blue line, she wanted to be pregnant again because she wasn't getting any younger and she felt the time was right. 'I want you with me.'
Ross nodded, 'Ok, are you sure you don't mind me being in there with you?'
'Why would I?'
Ross shrugged. 'Don't know, just something I imagined you would want to do alone…'
'I don't see it that way, we're having this baby together so therefore, we should do the test like it's both of ours.' She held his hand and dragged him off to the bathroom, 'Whatever the result Rach, don't think it's always going to be this way, we will get pregnant…' he promised her. She nodded, 'lets hope so, the cost of these pregnancy tests are becoming more expensive than a new baby would be…' she joked.
Ross stood against the wall as he waited for Rachel to do the test, 'Well I bet no other guy can say that they've done this before…' He joked, trying to make the atmosphere more positive, the two of them hadn't said a thing since they had entered the room. She laughed quietly, 'now you know not to make me laugh when I'm doing this Ross.' she told him, already feeling nervous about the test, laughing would certainly not help her with the test. 'You almost done? He asked her, being more serious now, 'I thought it only took a few minutes to do?'
'Well…' she was now in his view as she came back over to him, 'its done now…' She told him, holding the pregnancy test in her left hand. He nodded, 'so all we need to do now is.'
'Wait…' she nodded.
'Listen Rach, whatever happens, it doesn't mean we'll never have children if it turns out negative today, you know that right?'
She nodded, 'I do know that, but I just want to be pregnant so desperately…' she explained to him, 'its just typical for us when we actually are planning for one, we don't have luck…' She sighed deeply.
Ross took hold of her hand and lifted up her chin, her head was low down like she wasn't feeling too confident about the results, 'I thought you said you felt as though you were pregnant huh?' he asked her, giving her hope at least of that blue line. She shrugged now, 'I know I said that, and I did feel like I was maybe this morning and I've felt the way I felt when I was pregnant with Emma, but now just the thought of this test is making me so nervous…'
He outlined her face with his finger, 'you don't have anything to worry about, whether your pregnant or not, we will have more children Rach, I promise…'
She nodded, 'your right…like always' she laughed.
'Is it not time yet?' he reminded her,' its been a few minutes already, want me to look?'
The test was still in her hand, her thumb covering the line where the result would soon appear, or it may have already appeared whilst they had been discussing it,' I'll look, we can both look…' She suggested. He let go of her hand now for her to uncover the test, she attempted to uncover it but her fear took over, 'I can't do it…'
'Want me to do it?'
'No, I do want to look but…'
'Well look Rach…' He told her. She nodded, 'Pull it together Rach.' she told herself. Looking down at the test now, she moved away her thumb from the line, hoping to see that blue line appear. Ross looked at the test also, thoughts running through his mind about the result whatever it was, whether it was positive or not, he saw her hand move away from the line as they looked at the colour which appeared. It was blue.
'Its blue…'
'Its blue…ITS BLUE!' She yelled with excitement. She had to check it again to see whether she had only imagined it, but yes, it was certainly blue. 'Oh sweetie…I can't believe it' Ross smiled, draping his arms around her as she jumped up in his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist. 'Oh, I'm so happy…' she told him, tears rolling down her face. He kissed her lips, their tongues rolling around in one another's mouths as they squeezed each other tightly. 'I love you so much…' He told her, she buried her head in his neck, and 'I love you too' she told him. They embraced each other, and they embraced the moment that had been hoping for since those months ago, they already had their beautiful daughter, they loved her more than life itself but the thought of sharing the whole journey of pregnancy again with each other, and this time they were together, properly. 'A little brother or sister for Emma huh…' Ross said, Rachel now removing herself from his arms, 'I, I just cant believe it…I thought this wouldn't happen again for us, I'm just so happy…'
'I'm happy too; knowing that our unborn baby is inside you now is just. Just amazing'.
She nodded, looking down at her stomach, 'that's right…back to being fat again soon, I can't wait…' she grinned, 'ready to do it all over again Gellar?' she asked him.
He nodded. 'I sure am Greene, '. They kissed again; everything was going in the right direction for them at last, a new house, a new baby, and a wedding to look forward to, 'so we have something extra to celebrate on Friday rather than our anniversary.' Ross told her. 'Oh yes, our anniversary dinner…Its going to be amazing, one year…' she smiled, touching his nose, 'Thank god I got off that damn plane…' She laughed, 'Yes. Thank god, I don't know where I would be if you hadn't of got off…' he told her, 'Hey, I don't even want to think about it, we're here now, and I'm telling you now Ross, You'll never lose me again…'
'Never?'
'Never…' She confirmed, 'Now kiss me again.' She ordered him. So he did.
