Chapter 2: Decisions

After sitting on the bathroom floor for nearly an hour Rachel got up throwing the pregnancy test in the trash she washed her face and hands she left the bathroom and started down the hall to her room, she stopped at her daughter's room opening the door and walking quietly to the bed. Emma lay curled up with the stuffed red T Rex Ross had given her. Her little girl was growing up she was about to turn two and had just gotten a big girl bed. "You look more like your daddy everyday Ems" she whispered brushing a dark blonde strand of hair out of her little face. "You 're gonna be a big sister" she set her hand on her flat stomach. She started crying again when she thought about the new life growing inside her, when she thought about being alone.

Rachel didn't want to wake Emma up she kissed the top of her head and whispered "I love you baby girl" and headed to her room. She got back in bed but she couldn't sleep. A picture sitting on her nightstand caught her eye it was of the gang at Central Perk. She sat beside Ross his arm around her, Chandler sat beside them Monica on his lap and Joey and Phoebe each sat on the arms of the couch. "Monica" she mumbled. She needed someone to talk who better than her best friend, she looked at the clock it was one am there but six hours earlier in New York, picking up the she dialed the familiar number.

Monica heard the phone ring "Chandler can you get that" she called from the nursery where she sat feeding her newborn son. Chandler was downstairs watching TV with his newborn daughter in his arms. "Fine" he groaned picking it up "Hello" he said into the phone. "Hey Chandler" Rachel smiled hearing his voice. "Hey Rach!" he grinned, "I uh I'm not interrupting anything am I" she asked, "Nah me and Erica were just watching TV, So how's Paris" he asked, "Eh its okay how's being a daddy," she asked "I love it, its great," he said proudly. "Is Mon there" she questioned "Yeah but she's busy with Jack" he replied "Oh" she said sadly "is everything okay" he asked

"No its not" she whispered "I know I'm not Mon but I'm here if you want to talk" There was a moment of silence before Rachel whispered, "I'm pregnant Chandler" That was not what he expected to hear "Pregnant" he repeated "Yeah it uh, its Ross's" she whispered "Uh Rach he's here and you're in Paris I think it would be impossible for him to get you pregnant" he said "I slept with him the night of my going away party an. and now" she broke down in tears. "I..I don't know what to do Chandler" she cried "Well are you going to tell Ross" he asked "I…I have to I can't keep this from him I...I can't do this alone"

"You can always come home Rach" Chandler said softly "To what Chandler I..I don't have anything in New York" she cried, "You have us" he said "Really" she asked, "Of course Rach you're family there's always room for you and Emma at Bing manor" he joked. He had done what he did best he made her laugh. "Thanks Chandler but what about Mon" she asked "Are you kidding she'll be thrilled she really misses you, we all do" he answered, "I miss you guys too, so much" she said

"Well then the hell with Paris come home!" he joked "Okay!" she giggled feeling a lot better about everything. "I'll see you guys soon oh and Chandler you can tell Mon but don't tell anyone else especially Ross" He smiled "Don't worry I'm an excellent secret keeper" Rachel laughed, "Funny Mon says you're not" she said "Thanks Chandler for everything" she said "Don't mention it we'll see you soon" They said their goodbyes and hung up.

Monica came downstairs with Jack in her arms "Who was on the phone honey" she asked "Oh it was just Rachel" he told her "What! Why did you let me talk to her!" she squealed "Don't worry you'll get your change she's coming home" he said "Really?" she asked "Yeah" he smiled "Oh yeah you're gonna be an aunt, she's pregnant" Monica just stared at him stunned.
