Rachel couldn't believe it; her mother had a wedding fund for her. It was a secret fund that she had hidden from Leonard Green for her 3 daughters. Whenever she told him she needed money for something she would put half the money away for the girl's futures.

Rachel: Mom this is the best news I have heard other then when Ross purposed of course.

Sandra: I know honey & we are going to throw the bash of the year. Have you & Ross set a date yet.

Rachel: Yes mom it's May 6th next year.

Sandra: OK that gives us 6 months to plan this.

Rachel: Oh mom I am so happy, I never thought I could be this happy in my life. I know you probably think that just because I am only 18 yrs old that I could never love anyone as much as I love Ross but he just is the best person in the world.

Sandra: Yes honey I know, I used to feel that way about your father when we were younger but then something happened to him.

Rachel: Yeah I know he walked in on Ross & I in bed & he flipped his lid.

Sandra: No Rachel it was before that, he changed when Amy was born. I think for some reason he never wanted her or something. I think he was really hoping she would be a boy & when she was born something changed in him, he was just never the same & no matter what I did I just couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.

Rachel couldn't believe what her mother had told her. She never knew that her father wanted a boy, not that most men don't but it dawned on her that her father always treated her & Jill differently then he treated Amy & now she knew why.

Rachel: Mom I am so sorry about that if I would have known about Amy I would have been nicer to her when we were younger.

Sandra: It's not your fault Rachel you didn't know.

Rachel: (hearing Emma in the background crying) Mom I gotta go Emma is crying.

Sandra: Give my beautiful granddaughter a kiss for me.

Rachel: OK mom I will. I love you mom.

Sandra: I love you to Rachel.

A couple weeks had gone by Ross & Rachel were sitting at home watching a movie Emma was laying on the floor she was moving around more and more every day. Emma started to fuss so Rachel knew it was time for her feeding and probably a diaper change. She took Emma into her & Ross's bedroom where she had Emma's changing table set up she quickly changed Emma & then sat on the bed to nurse her. Just then Ross came into the room while Rachel was nursing Emma. He loved to watch her nursing it was such a beautiful thing to see the love of his life feeding his child.

Ross: So does that hurt?

Rachel: No it actually feels kinda weird though

Ross: Good weird or bad weird

Rachel: Different weird. It's not the same as if you were doing it she chuckled.

Ross: Well maybe I will get a turn later.

Rachel: (smiling) Maybe you will, maybe you won't.

Ross: Oh as if your gonna stop me if I want to there soon to be Mrs. Geller.

Rachel: Oh you think you can just fuck me whenever you want to.

Ross: No Rach I don't think that but you have never stopped me before.

Rachel: Yeah I guess I haven't, you just have a way with those hands of yours that make me melt.

Ross stood there grinning from ear to ear. He left Rachel to finish feeding Emma & get her ready for bed. When Rachel had Emma all fed and changed she put her into her crib & hoped that the baby would sleep for at least 5 hours.

Rachel: "Ross can you come help me with something" she yelled from the bedroom.

Ross: Sure honey I'll be right there.

When Ross entered their bedroom Rachel was standing there with nothing but her bra & panties on.

Ross: OH WOW

Rachel: (blushing) you like?

Ross: Umm well how could I not, you're beautiful.

Rachel: Well your not so bad lookin yourself there Geller.

After a passionate night of love making Ross & Rachel laid in bed looking into each others eyes.

Ross: Honey, can you believe that in less then 6 months we are gonna be married.

Rachel: I know Ross I am so happy.

Ross: Yeah me to sweetie.

Rachel: I am going to ask Monica to be my maid of honor do you think she will want to do it.

Ross: Are you kidding, Monica would love to I would imagine.

Rachel: I am gonna ask Phoebe to be a bridesmaid to.

Ross: Well seeing where Joey is going to marry us I am gonna ask Chandler to be my best man. Its gonna be weird to see him & Monica walk down the isle together.

Rachel: Hey what if Phoebe is right about those two. What if they are meant to be just like we were?

Ross: Well I think it would be great. My sister & my best friend.

The next day Rachel called Phoebe & Monica to come over to the apartment for some news she had for them.

Monica: Hey Rach what's up.

Rachel: Well guys I have something to ask of you.

Phoebe: What is it Rach.

Rachel: Well Monica I want you to be my maid of honor & Phoebe I want you to be a brides maid.

Phoebe: I knew you were gonna ask me that.

Monica: Rach are you serious you want me to be your maid of honor.

Rachel: Well DUH Monica, you're my best friend. I love you so much I want you to stand up there with me while I marry your hunk of a brother.

Monica: (crying) OH Rachel I would love to be your maid of honor.

Phoebe: (also crying) and I would love to be a bride's maid.

Rachel: OK then its settled.

Monica: So who's gonna be Ross's best man? Or do you know yet.

Rachel: Yeah I do, he asked Chandler.

Monica: OH GREAT I have to walk down the isle with Chandler Bing.

Phoebe: Hey Mon what's so bad about Chandler, he's kinda sexy ya know.

Monica: Ewww Phoebe Chandler isn't sexy.

Rachel: Actually Monica I think he is, & he's funny & smart & &.

Monica: Would you to stop it I don't like Chandler. (Monica had started to look at Chandler differently after Phoebe had mentioned before that she was gonna end up with him but she didn't want anyone to know yet)

Rachel: Ok girls we got a wedding to plan here.
Monica: Well you know how much I love to plan parties so I think I will have a blast with this one.

Rachel: Actually Monica my mom is hiring a wedding planner but I want you to help me with my dress & your & Phoebe's dresses. Monica I would love it if you would carry Emma down the isle to. I want her to be in the wedding but she will still be too young to be a flower girl.

Monica: Oh Rachel I would be honored.

It was now February the wedding was less then 3 months away. Emma was crawling around the apartment getting into everything Rachel had to get a baby gate so that she didn't get into the bathroom or kitchen if she couldn't keep right on top of her. Even though their place was small little Emma could manage to get into some trouble. Monica had picked out the dresses for the wedding (just think of something they would all look good in, shouldn't be too hard to do). Rachel's mom had all the wedding plans taken care of right down to the cake. Seeing where her father was no longer with them Sandra called her daughter to ask her who she was going to get to walk her down the isle.

Rachel: Hello

Sandra: Hi honey its mom.

Rachel: Hi mom whats up.

Sandra: Rachel I have something to ask you.

Rachel: Sure mom what it is.

Sandra: Well honey who you were going to get to walk you down the isle.

Rachel: Well I want you to mom.

Sandra: Really.

Rachel: Yeah of course I do mom. Daddy isn't with us & I don't think he would have approved of this wedding either.

Sandra: No honey your probably right, so its settled then your old mom is gonna walk you down the isle.

Rachel: Mom you're not old.

Sandra: Well I am no spring chicken either there honey. I am a grandmother now so that makes me feel even older.

Rachel: Oh great I have helped to make you feel old, that makes me feel just great mom (laughing a bit)

Sandra: Well I can't help it honey, you guys are all growing up so fast around me, even little Emma is getting bigger & bigger everyday.

Rachel: I know mom I can't believe how much she is changing. And speaking of changing mom I smell something really bad in here so I think I better go check on that little monster of mine. Ross will be home from work soon to so I wanna get supper for him.

Authors note: Rachel can cook in my story.

Sandra: Ok honey I will talk to you later then.

Rachel: bye mom.

When Ross got home from work Rachel had supper all made for him. She made spaghetti & meat balls with garlic bread. (It was her specialty) Rachel wasn't the most creative cook but she could get by. Ross would eat just about anything she made for him though, even if he really didn't like it he did it just to make her happy.

Next chapter will be the wedding.
