A few months passed and Emma's bump grew. Joey had decided to take a few months off and stick around in New York for a while, to keep a check on things. Ross and Rachel had found a new house, not far from Monica and Chandlers. Emma was 8 months pregnant now and as for Corey, nothing had happened with him since the night when Ross and Joey went round.
"Mom, which name is better for a girl, Caitlin or Reilly?" Emma said flicking through a book of names
"Either's fine, why are you only looking at girls names though?" Rachel asked looking over Emma's shoulder
"Because I know what im calling it if it's a boy" Emma smiled
"Oh? And what would that be?" Rachel asked sitting down next to Emma
"Lyle" Emma smiled
"Lyle?" Rachel asked
"Yeah, its French and means from the island" Emma smiled
"Its very nice, Lyle Geller… that's cute" Rachel smiled
Emma smiled, she wanted a little boy, but didn't care either way. Over the past few months she'd had come to terms with what was happening and she thanked her family for their support. She knew that without them she wouldn't have coped.
"Emma, we're going to Monica and Chandlers for lunch, can you get ready?" Ross shouted up the stairs to his daughter.
"Okay dad, I'll be down in a minute"
"Hey sweetie" Rachel put her arms around him
"Hey, im so proud of you Rach" Ross smiled and kissed her forehead
"Why?" Rachel looked up
"Because of the way you've been, keeping me calm, not freaking out, looking after Emma so well" Ross kissed her again
"I'm just doing what I need to" Rachel replied
"I know, but this would have been a whole lot worse without your help" Ross smiled and hugged her
"Okay guys, we going now or what?" Emma said standing before them
"Okay, I'll just go get the keys" Ross said.
When they got to Monica and Chandlers, Joey was there.
"Hey uncle Joey" Emma said giving him a hug.
"Hey!" Joey said "You want something to eat?"
"What you got?"
"Chips, Dips, Pretzels" Joey said showing off a selection of junk foods
"Yeah okay" Emma said taking a handful of chips
"Hey missy, I'd watch all those fatty snacks" Jack said coming into the room
"Oh hey Jack, how are ya?" Emma gave him a hug
"Eugh, what is it with pregnant women and the hugging" Jack smirked
"Ha Ha" Emma said unimpressed
"Emma!" Erica ran in and gave her a huge hug, and patted the bump
"Hey, how are you?" Emma asked
"Im good, but how are you and the baby?" Erica asked sitting down and pulling Emma next to her
"We're good, I've decided on a name if it's a boy" Emma smiled
"Really? What is it?" Erica asked
"Lyle"
"I love it" Erica grinned
"Hey Emma" Monica and Chandler came into the room
"Hey guys"
"Were gonna be having lunch in about an hour so do you kids wanna go do something for a bit?" Monica asked
"Sure" Jack replied and Emma and Erica nodded also.
The kids went for a stroll down the road. They were talking in general when suddenly Emma got a pain in her stomach
"Ow" She clutched her bump
"Ems, are you okay?" Erica asked
"She's fine, probably gassy or something!" Jack laughed
"Jack I don't think she's fine" Erica said as Emma sat down on a near by bench
"I'm okay, just a pain in my stomach it'll pass it a minute," Emma said trying to smile
"Still, we best get you home" Erica said helping Emma up of the bench
"OW!" Emma screamed as she felt water trickle down her legs
"eeeeeeeeeew" Jack said noticing the puddle
"Oh my god, her waters have broken" Erica screamed "Jack run home and get mom or aunt Rachel"
"Okay" Jack said running off.
"Emma your going to be fine" Erica said to Emma who was crying now
"Im not! I can't have the baby now, its too early" Emma sniffed
"Its only two weeks or so, that's not that early" Erica tried to reassure her "Now just breathe
"Okay"
Ten minutes later, Ross, Rachel and Monica pulled up in the car"
"Sweetie its okay im here" Rachel said moving Emma's hair out of her face
"I'm scared mom" Emma cried
"You'll be fine, were gonna take you to hospital and you'll be okay" Rachel hugged Emma and then helped her into the back of the car.
"Erica, you go home and your dad will give you a lift up later" Monica said hugging her daughter "You've been very brave, im so proud of you!"
Erica nodded and ran off as the car set off for the hospital.
