Hurray I finally have found a story that I have a good pace and am glad that you are enjoying it. I have had an idea for a while of how to do this…so please if you are enjoying the story keep reviewing…

Rachel and Ross were eating breakfast on the apothecary table. It had been a nice peaceful night. Ross had gotten up and made eggs and toast.

"It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day." Rachel said. "Let's make this a family day for Emma. We have spending all this time together, we should spend some time with our daughter. Let her know that she has both a mommy and a daddy." Ross agreed.

Joey was sitting at the counter with Emma. They were both enjoying a bowl of cereal. Rachel came in the door excitedly. "Emma, how would you like to go to the zoo with me and Daddy?" Emma jumped up and leaped into her mother's arms. "Can Uncle Joey come too?" she asked innocently. "No, Uncle Joey has company coming over later. " he answered. "Sheila." He whispered to Rachel. "She's hot." He smiled.

Rachel took Emma into the bedroom. She brushed her blonde hair and then put a pink shorts set on her. Rachel then took a quick shower and dressed herself as well. Ross arrived and then the three of them took off.

"Zoo, zoo.' Chanted Emma. The sign read Bronx Zoo. As they went through the gate, Rachel pushed the stroller and Ross had Emma on his shoulders. She was now almost two in a few weeks, so she was getting to be a big girl now.

"Where do you want to go first?" asked Ross. "Emma do you want to see the bears or the monkeys?" Emma pointed to the cages where the monkeys were. As they walked over, the monkeys began to climb their little trees. There were all sorts of monkeys, but one kind looked vaintly familiar.

"Ross look,." Said Rachel as she pointed out a capuchin monkey. "He looks like Marcel."

"He does, doesn't he?" Emma pointed at the monkey. "Funny monkey." she laughed.

"Emma did you know that Daddy had a pet monkey? His name was Marcel and he lived with me for a whole year." Rachel smiled as the thoughts of the past began to envelope her. How could she deny everything that was part of their history?

Joey had been on the phone most of the morning. Ever since Estelle died, he had been trying to find a new agent. He found one , the only problem was that she was in California.

"So Bobbie , have you found anything for me yet?" he asked eagerly. His part on Days of our Lives had been cut drastically. It almost was starting to look like Drake was going to get written out of the show.

"Still looking Joey. You know it would be so much easier if you just moved to LA." Said Bobbie as she sat at her desk with her phone connected to a head set.

"I can't do that. I still have a life in New York." Bellowed Joey. " I will move someday." Joey couldn't face the fact that life was indeed changing. Monica and Chandler had moved to Westchester and had two newborns to care for. Phoebe was married. Ross and Rachel had recently gotten back together. Joey was now the only one who didn't have someone. He still had them as friends, but the difference was at the coffee shop Phoebe would hold hands with Mike and Rachel would sit on Ross' lap.

As the newly reunited family sat and ate their lunch, Emma could not stop holding her new toy. It was a stuffed monkey that she called "Marcel." She called it that because she was told her daddy used to have a pet monkey himself when he was younger.

"You like Marcel?" Ross asked. Emma held him and nodded her little head.

"Better than Hugsy?" Rachel asked. Again Emma nodded her head. "That is going to make Joey so happy . He can have his toy back." She laughed at Joey's childlike nature. All the guys had a tendency to act like little boys at times. Joey with Hugsy, Chandler with his jokes , and Ross playing with his dinosaurs.

"Come on Emma, let's go look at the giraffes." Ross said when they finished their lunch. Rachel and Ross strolled along like two young lovers holding hands as Emma walked beside them.

"Daddy love Mommy?" she said innocently. Ross smiled and then kissed Rachel on the cheek. "Yes, Daddy loves Mommy very much." He said. Rachel couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah Gina, that's what she said. I need to be in California. I don't know , I am seriously considering it. My part on the show is being written out I was told last week. " Joey was on the phone to his sister who lived in Los Angeles. "I just hate change. That's the problem everything is changing here so fast." He said defensively.

"Joey , you are the one who needs a change. You don't have a girlfriend or kids. This is the perfect place for you. You are going to be big , I just know it. You've been working on this acting for about ten years, and I just have feeling you come to Hollywood, it is going to happen for you." Gina Tribbiani said.

"Well, I'll see what Bobbie, my agent can line up. She is a shark I tell you and not a real one." Joey said confidently. "If she can get me a real good part, then I'll seriously consider it."

Rachel was standing at the door . Ross took Emma to his apartment so she could get changed. Rachel just wanted to grab a few things. She had a sad look when she heard the conversation. "

"Joey, is it true? Are you thinking of moving to Hollywood?"

Joey turned around with a look of surprise. He wasn't ready to tell his friends yet.
