Tears fell from Emma's eyes as the doctor began the procedure. Rachel turned her head so she couldn't see the pain her daughter was going through. Emma screamed her lungs out as the doctor pushed in the needle. "Owwwwww."

"Is this really necessary?' asked Rachel. "She is still a little baby." she weeped. Rachel didn't know how more of this she could take. In a foreign country and far away from her family, she said a simple prayer. "Please God let my baby be alright let me not be alone any more." she silently prayed.

Ross rode through the streets of Paris. He had an address and now he had to find Rachel's apartment. Usually when he would visit a foreign city like this , he would just marvel at it. Now he had a mission, find Rachel and beg her to come home. Noticing the number, he found his destination. "Merci." he said as he handed the driver his fare. Dragging his suitcase, he went in the door and headed for the elevator.

Mimi heard the buzzer and ran downstairs. She was saying special prayers as well. Through the lobby, she saw a tall man pulling a suitcase .

"Are you Rachel's housekeeper?' Ross asked. "I am Ross." he explained. "Emma's father."

"Oh Monsieur, Emma is very sick. She is at the hospital with Mademoiselle Green." Mimi said exasperated.

"Hospital." exclaimed Ross. "Oh my poor little angel." he sat down and started to cry.

"You can help. Oui, you are a doctor, monsieur." Mimi said as she pulled him out of the chair.

"Rachel didn't explain to you. I am a college professor with a PhD in paleontology, not a medical doctor. I teach about evolution and dinosaurs." Ross tried to explain to the woman. "What hospital is she at?" Ross inquired.

"Le Hospital General de Paris." Mimi said. "You must go. Emma needs her papa." Ross gave the woman his suitcase. "I will watch." Ross ran back toward the boulevard and got in a cab.

"Hospital de Paris, my little girl is there." he said as the cab drove away. Mimi smiled, she was sure that a family would be reunited tonight.

Emma pulled away again. The nurse was trying to hold her still, but it was no use. Rachel gave her back her dinosaur and she continued to cry.

"Mademoiselle Green, we must do the procedure. She must hold still. This is her life we are talking about, no?" the doctor said. "Can't you at least call her father, maybe he can talk to her and calm her down."

Rachel said restlessly. "I told you her father is an American and lives in New York. He can't come right over." Rachel collapsed to the floor out of exhaustion.

"Nurse, take care of her. I will try once again with the child." the doctor said. He shook his head and walked toward the screaming child.

Running from the cab, Ross ran into the hospital. He hoped there would be someone who knew English. He was not in the mood to translate all night. His French was just marginal at best.

"Bonjour." he said. Pointing at himself, he said, "Americain." The receptionist understood. "Monsieur, yes I speak English." she smiled.

"My baby daughter is here. Emma Geller Green." he explained. "I just flew in from New York and I would like to know what room she is in." Ross said almost out of breath.

The receptionist typed the information into the terminal. She had an answer within minutes. "She is in Pediatric ICU, Floor 8." Ross had a scared look when he heard his baby was in the ICU. He had to get up there now.

Rachel was now on a chair sipping some water. Finally she was conscious. "What Happened?' she asked puzzled.

"You fainted." the nurse said. "The doctor has still not been able to get a puncture in. It must be done. We will have to sedate her it looks like." Rachel walked to the bed and looked at her angel. She looked at the tiny bracelet. It must have been a mistake. It didn't say Green, it said Geller. The name simply made her smile. Maybe it was a sign, or if this was to be Emma's time, she would be Emma Geller.

Emma clutched the dinosaur and whimpered, "Me want Daddy." Rachel held her head until she heard the familiar voice. "Baby girl, Daddy is here." Rachel turned her head and saw Ross. He came over to the bed and picked up his little girl. Emma smiled while Rachel watched the touching scene. She looked over and then ran to put her arms around him. She mouthed to the heavens , "Thank you."

"Are you Emma's papa?" the doctor said.

Ross smiled. "Yes I am. Now what is wrong?" The doctor went on explaining that the procedure had to be done so Emma could be started on a course of antibiotics. Ross went back to the bed.

He put his arms around Emma. "Sweetie, they need to do something and I need you to be a brave girl for Daddy. It may hurt ,but I am going to right here with you. Now Daddy doesn't like needles either, but we want Emma to get better for Mommy, and Daddy, and Uncle Chandler, and Joey, and Aunt Monica and Phoebe, don't we?'

Emma wiped her tears. "Ya." she whispered. "Emma better , Daddy here now." Holding her, the doctor prepared the needle and gently eased it in. Ross closed his eyes and so did Emma. When the culture was ready, they rushed it to the lab.

"I am so glad you came. I am sure that Mona isn't though. Rachel snidely said.

"There is no Mona. There is only one woman I love and I am looking at her right now." he said as he took her in his arms. "I have crossed an ocean, I have lived a million lives only to find out that destiny has found the one for me. Years ago, you crossed the ocean to tell me you loved me. Now I am doing the same." he said as his lips touched hers.

"Ross our baby." she said as she pulled away. He cradled her in his arms. "There is no need to be afraid Rach, I'm here and I am not leaving." Ross said to ease her mind. "Let's let the doctors take care of our baby." he said as he led her to the waiting room. "If there is any change, please come and get us." he said.

Ross sat Rachel down on the couch and took her hand. "Now please tell me. Is there someone else?" he looked at her with his intense brown eyes.

"Is there with you?" Rachel asked. "I heard that you were back with Mona." she said.

"There is no one else., Rach. Right now, we should concentrate on Emma. There is plenty of time to talk about us." Ross said.

"Does anyone know that you're here?" Rachel asked.

"They all do, they were the ones that told me I needed to be here. Oh no, none of them know that Emma is sick." he realized as he got up.

"Why don't you call Monica? Let them know you arrived and what is going on. I will sit here and wait ." Rachel said. He leaned down.

"May I kiss you?" he said sincerely .

"You never have to ask again." she smiled. "Hurry back though." He kissed her then left his jacket on the chair. Rachel picked up the brown leather jacket and smelled it. She put it over herself as if to protect herself when he was away. She closed her eyes and laid down on the sofa.

"Mon, she is in the hospital and they are starting her on antibiotics. I am here with Rachel. No we haven't talked about anything yet. Listen, tell Mom and Dad and Dr. and Mrs. Green what happened. She is going to be fine." Ross said on the cell phone. "I know it's late and tell everyone I am fine." Ross walked back to the waiting room and saw Rachel asleep. He smiled. Quietly he walked back into the ICU . It brought a tear to his eye as he saw Emma hooked up to the tiny IV .Her chubby fingers were clutching the red dinosaur and she was asleep like her mother. It had been an exhausting night for him as well. Ross just collapsed on a chair and let his eyes close.
