Chapter 6: Can We Talk
Before Rachel could respond they heard the front door open "Mon, Chan have you guys..." he trailed off when he walked into the family room and saw Rachel sitting on the sofa with Emma in her arms. He just stood there staring at the love of his life, the love he thought he'd lost forever. "Rachel" he whispered "Hi Ross" she said softly "I uh..I'm glad you're here" she said "Yo..you are" he asked surprised "Yeah can uh..can we talk" she asked
"Umm Mon and I will take Emma in the kitchen for ice cream" Chandler stood picking Emma up and taking Monica's hand as they left the room "So umm how have you been" Ross asked sitting down. "I..I've been okay" she answered "How long are you gonna be in New York" he questioned "I'm not going back to Paris" she replied "Ross I..I came back be..because I..I wanted to see you I..I have something to tell you"
"Uh alright what is it" he asked wondering what she could possibily have to tell him "I uh..I umm...I'm pregnant" she whispered "Wow so you're having some french guy's baby huh" he replied "No I..I'm having your baby Ross it..its yours" He looked at her shock written on his face "What! Th..that's impossible" he exclaimed "Not really we did sleep together the night before I left" she reminded him. "Yeah but we used a..." he trailed off thinking about Emma "Damn it" he muttered "I..I'm sorry Ross I..I know this wasn't planned" tears shown in her blue eyes
"Don't cry Rach" he pulled her into his arms. "Shh its okay" he hugged her, he'd forgotten how good it felt to hold her and she'd forgotten how good it felt to be held by him. She finally pulled away and looked at him. "I..I missed you Ross" she whispered "I missed you too" he smiled tucking a strand of loose hair behind her ear. "I can't believe we're gonna have another baby" he set his hand on her stomach "You're still not thing of calling this one Ella are you" she teased "I can't believe you remembered that" he smiled "If this one is a girl Amy isn't getting anywhere near her ears." he joked
Rachel looked at him getting lost in those warm brown eyes. She knew she had to tell him how she felt even if he was with someone else. She thoughtabout the time she told him she loved him right after he married he hugged her and saidit was always nice to know someone loves you. "Ross" she started 'I..I" she stopped "You what Rach" he asked "I..I love you I..I'm still in love with you" she said "I know you're with someone bu..but I needed to tell you" she rambled
"I'm not with anyone Rach" he said "Bu..but I saw you with a woman at Central Perk" she replied "So you were there Kylie is just a friend she's a professer at NYU too and she's married" he answered "Oh" was all she said looking down at her lap "Rach" he said softly placing a finger underher chin so she was looking at him. "How could I be with anyone else when I'm so insanly in love with you" he whispered "Really" she asked "It's always been you Rach" he leaned in kissing her softly.Rachel wrapped her arms around him melting into the kiss.
"See honey I told you they'd get back together" Monica whispered nudging her husband "They're so cute" she gushed as they watched them from the doorway "Eh I think we're cuter" he grinned putting his arm around her "Nah we're equally as cute" she smiled kissing his cheek.
