When Ross picked Emma & Rachel up at the end of the day Emma started on her parents again about the baby.

Emma: Mommy can we have a baby.

Ross: Emma honey, don't bother your mother.

Emma: But daddy I want a baby like my friend is getting.

Rachel: Emma, mommy & daddy just don't want to have a baby right now. Maybe later you will get a baby brother or sister.

Emma: (yelling at her mother) Why not mommy, you said today that you love daddy so why won't you make a baby with him.

Ross: Emma Geller, You stop it right now. I don't want you talking to your mother that way. Now you apologize to your mother this instant or you are going to bed right after supper!

Emma: I'm sorry mommy.

Rachel: (crying a bit) Ok honey, now when we get home I want you to get changed out of your school clothes & do your homework.

Ross pulled into their driveway, his parents had moved to a condo so they sold Rachel & him the house for a very good price. They loved it. Emma had Ross's old room. Ross & Rachel had taken over his parent's room. Monica's old bedroom was still an exercise room that Rachel used quite often. She was very thin but in good shape. After homework and supper Rachel got Emma bathed and ready for bed. She watched an hour of TV & then it was bedtime. It was Ross's night to read to her & she chose a Dr Seuss book for him to read.

Ross: Green Eggs & Ham again sweetie.

Emma: I like it daddy.

Ross: Ok I will read it AGAIN.

Emma: Thank you daddy.

Ross finished the book & kissed his sleeping daughter on the forehead. He went out to the living room where Rachel was watching TV.

Rachel: So what was the book of choice tonight?

Ross: Guess.

Rachel: Green egg & ham.

Ross: You got it.

Rachel: We gotta get that child some new books Ross.

Ross: Well I could go out to the garage & see if any of my old books are out there.

Rachel: Umm honey, why don't you see if any of Monica's are there instead? I don't want our daughter to be a science geek.

Ross: Hey I thought you didn't think I was a geek.

Rachel: Wellllll I didn't after I really got to know you. But you have to admit you were a little bit of a geek & still are.

Ross: Hey now that's not fair.

Rachel: You love it & you know it.

Ross really did love it when she called him a geek. He knew it was her way of telling him she loved everything about him. He grabbed Rachel & threw her on the couch & kissed her.

Rachel: Ross we shouldn't do this out here Emma might wake up.

Ross: Well then Mrs. Geller why don't we take this into the bedroom.

Rachel: No Ross, I cant not tonight.

Ross: What, why.

Rachel: I just cant Ross, Please don't.

Ross couldn't believe it. Rachel was telling him No to sex. Did it have anything to do with what Emma had said to them earlier in the day?

Ross: Rach honey what's wrong.

Rachel: Nothing Ross I just don't want to have sex tonight OK. Am I supposed to be at your beck & called whenever you feel the need to get laid.

Ross was sure this had to do with what Emma had said earlier in the day. He couldn't let it go he had to know what was bothering Rachel.

Ross: Rach honey please talk to me.

Rachel: (lying in bed crying) NO Ross. I don't want to talk right now.

Ross: Why, have I done something wrong?

Rachel: No, just something is bothering me.

Ross: Honey what is it. What is bothering you so much?

Rachel: Ross I lost a baby last month!

Ross: Oh my god. Rachel honey are you ok, why didn't you tell me.

Rachel: I didn't want you to be upset. I knew it would bother you.

Ross: What, when how did this happen.
Rachel: I was at work one day & I started spotting. I went into the washroom & Ross it was horrible. There was blood everywhere. I went to the hospital & they told me that I had had a miscarriage. I didn't know how to tell you that I had lost our baby. I was so scared.

Ross: Honey how did you go through this alone. You should have told me. (Ross put his arms around his wife & held her close, Rachel was crying into his shirt)

Rachel: I'm so sorry Ross I should have told you. I thought I could handle it but when Emma was asking about another baby it just brought everything back. I do want another baby Ross but I don't know if I could go through the pain of loosing one again.

Ross: Oh honey its ok. I will talk to Emma tomorrow & try to make her understand that she is still our baby & that when the time is right she will have a baby brother or sister. There's no rush for that we are both still very young.

Ross & Rachel held each other for what seemed like minutes but it actually had been all night. They both called in sick to work after a very emotional night of talking. After breakfast Ross drove Emma to school & had his little talk with his daughter. Emma told her dad she was sorry for making her mom cry and that she wouldn't ask for a new baby again. Emma kissed her daddy goodbye & went into the schoolhouse.
