Rachel gazed over as she gauged what look Ross had when Melanie said "I love you." He didn't have a smile , more like a puzzled look. The female voice took him by shock. Rachel then viewed a picture by his computer. It was him and a girl who had long curly brown hair and brown eyes similar to his.

"Is this her?" Rachel said indicating the photo. Ross swallowed hard and then took it from Rachel's hands. Ross said softly yes. Rachel's eyes were filled with tears. "I am the other woman. I am Chloe." She whispered as she realized she just got out of bed with another woman's man.

"It isn't like that at all." Ross defended himself.

"Ross when we were going together, and you slept with that girl, you cheated on me. Now you and this girl have been dating for six months and you jump into bed with a woman while your girlfriend is out of town., that is still being unfaithful despite the fact that you are with a girl who you used to date." Rachel leaned down and began to put on her clothes. "I knew this was a mistake." She muttered as she put on her blouse and skirt.

"It is not a mistake and I would do it again." Ross said as he threw his arms around Rachel. She pulled away. "I am not going to be the other woman, I know how that hurts. I think it would just be better if I went to a hotel." She grabbed her bag and started toward the door.

With all his might he screamed. "I love you." Rachel turned back her head . "What did you say?" her hand was grasping her chest in delight. He took her by the shoulders and turned her around. "I said , I love you." Whispered Ross. Rachel lowered her head and once again began to softly tap his lips . The passion escalated as he led her back to the bed . But then a thought caused her to stop. "What are you going to do about her?" Rachel asked a question that struck Ross to the core. He knew that when Melanie returned to Boston, he was going to have to break her heart. Boston may not even be where he needed to be right now. His place was back in New York , maybe even him and Rachel living together in his apartment.

As the plane pulled away from the gate, Melanie pressed her nose against the window. Another bunch of dashed dreams and false hopes. Ah the life of an actress. She thought for sure , she was going to get this part. Melanie opened up her wallet and smiled through her tears.At least she had her boyfriend, her sweet and funny boyfriend who would put his arm around her and tell her she was beautiful and her chance would come. She could almost picture those hazel eyes and warm smile when she walked up his front steps in Cambridge. She would run her fingers through that dark thick hair. Her treasure , her cheerleader , her Ross. She giggled as she glanced through the in flight magazine, it had an article about dinosaurs in it. But somehow that brought her heart even closer to him.

"Have you thought about names yet?" Ross said as they waited for their dinner to come.

"Well Phoebe suggested Phoebe if it is a girl and then Joey said he wants it named after him, but if it is a girl , I am not crazy about the name Josephine." Rachel said. "I like the name Jenna." She said hoping he would think the same.

"I kind of like the name Emily, or there is a name that Monica had always wanted to have for her daughter., Emma." Ross suggested.

"I don't know , I have a feeling it is a little girl." Rachel smiled as she rubbed her belly. The waiter brought her out a huge Maine lobster and a ton of butter."Are you sure this isn't going to bother you?" she said as she wrapped the bib around her neck and picked up the lobster. "Not at all , after all you are eating for two." He watched as Rachel began to devour the lobster. Then it hit him.

"Lobster." Ross exclaimed. Rachel was shocked. "Honey, you sure because aren't you allergic." Ross eyed her. "No you are my lobster. Remember what Phoebe said. Lobsters mate for life. I need to call work and explain things. Honey, I am moving back to New York. That baby needs a father." Rachel put down the lobster and smiled. "You don't have to do this because I am pregnant."

"I am doing this because I love you." Ross said as he took her hand . She smiled at him. He asked for the check and then the two of them left with the leftovers wrapped up and they strolled through Boston Commons . She looked into his brown eyes and then their lips mashed together passionately.

"Ross?" Ross honey? I 'm back." Melanie said as she sat on the couch as the two lovers entered. "I decided to surprise you., but I guess the surprise is on me." Melanie looked surprised instead. Her boyfriend had his arms around another woman and it was obvious that she had deep feelings for him as well.

Melanie stared as the pregnant woman stepped away from Ross and then extended her hand. "Hi I 'm Rachel." She introduced herself. Melanie was so floored that she shook her hand . "Hi I am Ross' girlfriend. Melanie."

Ross didn't know how he was going to get out of this without someone getting hurt. He was now standing in front of the two women who were in love with him. It wasn't the first time this happened, as he had fond memories of Julie and the day that him and Rachel first kissed."Melanie , this is Rachel, the girl that I told you about from New York." Ross tried to ease into an explanation and eventually breaking up with this girl.

Rachel ran her hand across her stomach. She didn't know if she was doing it for security or retaliation. Melanie looked at her stomach. "Oh how far along are you? Do you know if it is boy or a girl ?" she asked curiously.

"I am six months pregnant and I don't know yet, I hope it is a girl." Rachel said confidently. Ross put his arm around Melanie and walked her away from Rachel. "Honey, I need to have a talk with you alone." Rachel knew this was her cue to make her self scarce . "I am going to lay down on the bed." She went in and closed the door.

Ross led Melanie over to the sofa and sat down next to her. "So first of all , when I am going to see you on television?" he said hoping for anything to change the subject. "Not this time." She said sadly. "I was hoping to spend to some time with you Ross really hated to break this girl's heart , especially on such a bad day for her already. He pulled her close to him and then took a breath. "Mel, honey." He started to say.

Melanie may not have been a mind reader, but she did know that something was up. She was feeling very uncomfortable and not at all at ease. Something had changed between now and when she had last seen Ross . It had to be the visit from his ex girlfriend.

He turned away briefly, and then he looked back. "Mel, we need to talk. " She couldn't delay it any more. "Yes Ross." She said turning to him. "Melanie, sweetie, I know we have been going together for quite a while, and I think you are really great." Melanie could almost fill in the blanks with what he was going to say next. She popped up. "I know what you are going to say Ross, you are dumping me." He touched her shoulder. "Mel, I don't want you to think it is you. I think you are great. It is just that I found something out today. Rachel is willing to forgive me." Melanie exploded. "Your ex is back in town and you are ready to get rid of me the first chance you get." Ross yelled back at her. "Will you please keep your voice down. Rachel is trying to rest and she had some problems with the baby today.'

"Baby"" Melanie was even more confused than ever. Ross spoke soft and deliberate to his girlfriend. "Yes Baby. My baby." Melanie dropped back down to the couch. She sat down and put her head in her hands. "Ross." She cried. "Listen, I didn't want this to be so hard on you. Rachel found out she was pregnant about the time I left New York. I know this is my baby. My first child I never had anything to do with at all when Carol was pregnant. I was basically a sperm donor who did get to have Ben as my son only on the weekends. I knew if I ever became a father again, I would do everything I could for my son or daughter. This is my problem, Melanie , and I still love that girl asleep on my bed." Melanie wiped the tears from her eyes and stood up slowly. "If this is the way you want it Ross, I am outta here." She walked fast to the door and then slammed it.

Ross walked to the bedroom as Rachel stirred from the noise in the living room. "What is going on?" she asked groggily, not quite awake from her . "Everything is going to be alright from now on." He said as he stroked her hair. Rachel laid back down and closed her eyes. He put his arm around her .
