New Chapter:
Joey had never seen Rachel be so upset before. He was also upset that one of his best friends could be dieing, but not even Monica was as upset as Rachel was. He saw her face all wet, while she was looking down at the floor. Joey had no idea what to do, he was her boyfriend now, and she needed comforting.
Joey went over to Rachel and sat down on the couch next to her, and spoke slightly louder then a whisper "It's okay, everything is going to be okay". Then he opened his arms to hug her. Rachel got up from the couch and her nervous system was so filled with energy that she began to yell "No, its not. Okay, he is the father of my child. And because of us, he could be dead. And it doesn't look like you give a damn." After Rachel said this, she grabbed her coat and left to the hospital Monica had informed her that Ross was at.
Rachel hailed a taxi, and began her journey to the hospital. All the way to hospital she began thinking about what would have happened if Joey and she never got together. And what if Ross died.
"Where to miss?"
Rachel snapped back to reality,
"Yes NYC hospital please, make it quick!"
She dreaded the thought of him dieing. Neither the less, living without him.
Rachel came to the conclusion that Joey was a pig, he didn't care, all he wanted from her was sex, and they didn't even do that. How could I have ever had feelings for Joey, man those "physical feelings" are gone.
Back at Joey's and Rachel apartment, Monica had told the gang what happened with Ross, and Chandler the man that never did cry, needed a bucket to hold all his tears.
He stuttered, " just when Monica and I were planning to have children, our baby needs its Uncle Ross!"
Phoebe was also upset, but she knew that deep inside that Ross would make it and if not for her, and his friends, but for Rachel.
"You guys please stop worrying! Ross is going to live, my aura is telling me"
"How the hell to you know he's going to be okay?" Monica snapped
After about a minute, Charlie stepped in and said, "Hey, do you know where Ross is? I checked his apartment but he isn't there." Monica began to cry even harder.
"Um…um…uhhhhhh" Monica couldn't find the words between her sobs
Joey was the only one that was able to answer. "Ross, got hit by a car, and the hospital just called and said that he was put in a coma". Charlie looked at them all and said "Oh my God. Is he alright?" Monica looked at her confused and said "Of course, he's not alright; he was put in a coma." Charlie sighed, and suggested that they go the hospital, and Joey stays here to look after Emma. They all agreed and left at once.
"Hey Emma" Joey cooed while rocking Emmy in his arms "Uncle Ross is going to be okay, but Daddy Joey will be here forever, with Rachel and you sweetheart" he paused when he say Emma gazing up at him
"Wait that was the wrong way around, I'm Uncle, Ross is daddy sweetheart"
Rachel arrived at the hospital, and asked the nurse what room Ross Gellar was in. "I am sorry, we cannot take visitors until tomorrow, he is in intense treatment right now". Rachel began to get furious, but calmed her nerves down and sighed then began to speak getting misty while replying "Look, that man. Is the father of my child, my ex-boyfriend, my ex- husband, and the best relationship I have ever had, and I am pretty sure he is my soul mate. You have to just let me see him. Just let me see his angelic face, touch his hand one last time. Please." The nurse had began to cry and said "Room 623, wow, you really must love him." Rachel for the first time since the horrible news. Smiled, and then set off running to room 623.
Joey had agreed to stay behind to look after Emma because Rachel was still really mad at him. Joey wondered why Ross would get hit by a car. The man wouldn't even walk out of his apartment, without tying his shoelaces.
Rachel stopped in the doorway of Ross's room, and sawhis body, that was once so beautiful butnow wrapped inbandages, his face, his puppy dog eyes, and that smile. She stepped inside, and a thought hit her when the nurse walked in
"Do I love Ross?" she whispered out loud, the nurse heard her, and said
"Miss, I think you do!"
"That's what I was thinking…"
