Rachel put her manicured hands to her mouth as she stared at him. His brown eyes almost seemed as if if they were begging for the right answer. His eyes, his wonderful sad puppy dog eyes. She let a tear drip from her eye as her mouth opened to speak. He momentarily brushed it away as he let his fingers touch that cheek.

"Oh if I were hand on that cheek" the words of Romeo and Juliet came to mind as his masculine hand brushed against her soft skin. He wanted every part of her to be a part of him.

"Yes." She said almost inaudibly. He strained to hear her answer, since her voice sounded to him like an angel. "What did you say?" Ross asked anxiously, hoping to hear the words he wanted to hear.

"I said yes , Ross, I will marry you." She smiled and then she looked soulfully at him. He grinned that silly grin she loved so well and then he wanted to pick her up and twirl her around. He wanted to scream to the whole world that he was marrying "the girl." The one he watched as a teenager and the one who became his friend. He did get his second chance and he would never hurt her again.

He shook as he took the ring from the velvet box and then he took her small dainty hand and placed the ring on the base as he lovingly slid the ring onto her finger. Looking down she smiled and then leaned over to kiss her future husband. He smiled as he looked up to see her face as their lips touched for the first time as a newly engaged couple. Her hand immediately went down to her large stomach as she felt the huge kick of their unborn child.

"It knows." She whispered. "She knows." Ross moved his hand to her stomach and bent to kiss it. "I love you my little baby Geller.' He said as he kissed her large belly . He noticed that one thing had changed during Rachel's pregnancy , her breasts were now a little larger and there was a glow around her. He placed his hand on one of the cups swelling around the neckline of her dress. She wanted to just lie and make love like they did on that magical night. But now , someone else was involved.

"I've got to go." Rachel struggled to pull her self up as Ross got off the floor and guided his arms under hers. "If I don't get to the bathroom. I am going to explode." He watched her waddle away on her stiletto pumps. Same old Rachel , prisoner to fashion. He laughed to himself.

Sitting on the toilet , she looked down at her ring. The light in the restroom made it sparkle and glisten. She was engaged. Remembering how she showed her beautiful three karat ring that Barry gave her, it just wasn't the same at all. She didn't love Barry. Now this man she loved and made love to over and over again. His olive skin and her tanned body rolling together in the throes of passion. She would be a good housewife and surprise , surprise , she was marrying a doctor. Looking down at her stomach , she pulled up her hose and then went on her way again.

"Better?" Ross asked and then Rachel nodded. "I want to tell everyone and I want to celebrate with our friends. Maybe we can even go to the Plaza." Rachel said as she smiled at Ross.

"Okay let's go celebrate. Mrs. Geller." He said slyly. She looked at him as she heard her name linked for the first time with his. "I just wanted to see how it sounded , that's all." She smiled at him. "I think it is the most wonderful sound I have ever heard." Her lips brushed his as they made their way toward the exit.

Monica was on a chair as she handed Phoebe the streamers. Chandler was blowing up balloons and Joey giggled as he breathed in the helium and began to sing silly songs with Chandler as well.

"Will you two stop acting like idiots. I want to have this done when they get here." Monica scolded her secret boyfriend. Rachel knew and Joey knew, but both agreed to keep it from her brother until the time was right. Joey had gotten all the information for his surprise for the lobster couple and couldn't wait to tell them within a few days, he would be an ordained minister and could marry them. Phoebe didn't know , but had her suspicions when Chandler and Monica disappeared together. Monica knew it would be coming out soon and she couldn't be happier. Both her and Rachel had their men now.

Rachel and Ross walked in the door as he had his arm around her and they strolled in like the young lovers they were. "Surprise." Monica said as she motioned to the wall and the sign that said "Congratulations Ross and Rachel." Rachel hugged her best friend and her sister in law to be. "Aw you guys , this is so sweet." She cooed .

Chandler smiled and shook his buddy's hand. "Congratulations man." He smiled and then he reached over for a hug. "No pizza hut this time , " Ross joked with the memory of his bachelor party when he and Carol got married. Joey embraced him with a bear hug and then went to Rachel with the same intention. "Joey, there is a baby in there." Rachel said with a panicky voice. He shrugged his shoulders and just decided to kiss her on the cheek.

"We decided we want you all to come with us to the Plaza for drinks. " Rachel said excitedly. "Of course, some of us will be drinking ginger ale." She said as she looked over at Ross for confirmation. "I think we can allow our little mommy to be to have one glass of champagne. After all you don't get engaged every day.' Ross said looking at his bride to be.

"It seems you do." Chandler said in his own droll little way. Monica looked over at him after that comment. His smile showed his dimples and that made her want him even more. He saw the way she gazed at him and returned that gaze with a bright smile. Monica turned away , hoping that no one would notice , even though every one almost knew.

"We'll go and get dressed." Chandler said as he dragged Joey away. Phoebe kept looking at Monica to see if her body language or Chandler's could give it away. Rachel and Ross just sat on the couch lost in each other. They couldn't be any happier than they were right now.
