Chapter 4: Obstacles

Rachel smiled as she sat in the back of a cab headed to the villiage. Thoughts of Ross filled her mind. When she told him she was pregnant with Emma he'd sat there like a statue for what seemed like hours then he rambled on about condoms. "I hope he takes it better this time" she whisperedto herself setting her hand on her stomach. The cab came to a stop in front of Ross's building she paid the driver and climbed out. The cab pulled away as she glanced across the street at the building they'd all lived in at one time. Curtians now covered the big bay window in Monica and Chandler's old apartment.

Sighing softly she turned and headed in to Ross's building she chuckled softly when she reached the lobby. She and Chandler had tried to help Ross carry his new couch up to his apartment but it enededup falling and getting sliced in half. "Pivot!"she giggled as she started up the stairs. Rachel stood at the door with 3-B on it she took a deep breath and knocked. She waited a couple minutes but no one answered.

Rachel decided to go down to Central Perk have a coffee and wait for Ross. Gunther grinned when he saw her walk in. "Hi Rachel I didn't know you wereback in NewYork" She smiled "Hey Gunther I just got back today can I get a coffee" she then remembered the baby "Make that a decaf" she said "Sure no problem" he hurried over to the counter. She took a seat in thegangs favorite spot the orange sofa.

Gunter returnd with her drink handing it to her. She was about to take a sip when she saw Ross standing outside with a woman both of them laughing. He set his hand on her shoulderas they started toward the door. Rachel frowned tears in her eyes 'Damn hormomes" she mumbled setting her drink down asshe got up and made a quick exscape out the back way it led to the alley behind Central Perk it used to creep her out when she wroked there. Once she was safley outside she leaned against the wall and began to cry. Monica must not have known her brother had a girlfriend.

Ross looked around confused "Ross are you okay" the woman with him asked "Yeah I'm okay Kylie" he nodded "I uh, I just thought I say a friend of mine but it couldn't have been her, she's in Paris" he sighed sitting down "Well maybe she's visiting" Kylie commented sitting down too. Ros thought about it "Maybe you're right I think I'm gonna head up to Westchester maybe my sister knows" She nodded "Okay" He looked at her "Are you sure I know you and Shawn were looking forward to seeing The Met" he asked "I'm possitvie I'm sure my husband and I can find something else to do tonight" she smiled "Thanks so much Kylie" he hugged her

Rachel stood by the window watching Ross hugging who she thought was his girlfriend. She sighed sadly as she got in a cab and headed back to Westchester. "Mommy's sorry baby" she whispered setting her hand on her stomach tears running silently down her cheeks.
