This is about Ross and Rachel they're married with 4 boys and 1 girl on the way. They have a lot huh? Oh well, they're cute. Anyway that's all you need to know right now you'll find out more later. Disclaimer: Don't own any of them except their kids.
Scene: Hospital waiting room, Rachel's there pacing the floor, when the gang come rushing in.
"Rachel! Honey what happened?" Monica asks, worried to hear the answer. Rachel pretty much runs crying into her arms)(She doesn't say anything)
"Ohh honey, shh, Can you tell us what happened?" Monica says comforting her.
"We came as soon as we heard." Phoebe said in a concerned voice.
"Here" Chandler said as he reached for a couple of Kleenexes. (She takes it and sniffs)
"Thanks"
Joey wants to ask if Ross died but isn't sure how to put it.) "Rach? Is Ross… he's still… he didn't… did he..."
Rachel helps him, "He's still alive if that's what you mean. god he might as well be dead though." she says while drying her tears.
"Sweetie, don't say that." Monica says, trying to think positive. She looks at the rest of the gang, "guys, can you give us a minute, please? Why don't you go see him?"
(They nod as they walk out) Rachel goes over to the window and looks out (She's sad during this whole time) Monica goes over to her expecting her to say something about what happened. Rachel is the one to speak up,
"You should see him Monica"
"Sweetie, are you ready to tell me what happened?" Monica asks, very curious to know what happened to her brother. (Rachel sits down in a chair and Monica sits in the chair next to her)
Rachel answers knowing that she'd have to talk about this sooner or later, "I don't really know what happened except he was on his way home from work when it happened." She says as she looks down.
"When what happened?" Rachel doesn't say anything. "Look, honey if you're not ready to talk about this it's okay I understand."
"He was in a bad car accident." Rachel's mad that they're not telling her anything else. "That's all they're telling me. I'm not sure how it happened. All I know is that this would've never even happened if I hadn't asked him to pick up something for me at the grocery store on his way home."
"Don't. Rachel, you can't blame yourself. Things happen, okay?" She doesn't say anything to that. "How is he? What's his condition?"
"He's unconscious. Monica I'll be honest with you, he looks horrible." No body says anything for a while. Rachel continues, "But as bad as he looks, in a weird way he looks so peaceful.
Reassuring her, "He'll be okay, I promise."
"You haven't seen him yet. Doctors say that he could wake up, or he might slip into a coma. Monica I can't lose him."
Monica thinks for a bit, "Maybe you should be in there with him."
"I needed to get out of there for a little while. I couldn't look at him anymore." She says as she starts crying again.
"Shh… come here" she says as she takes her into a hug.
Meanwhile Phoebe Joey and Chandler are in Ross' room standing around his bed. they're trying to sink all this in. Picture them sad.
"What do you guys think happened." Phoebe asks wondering what they thought.
Joey answers in confidence that he knows, "Probably a big fight... yeah, a fight for Rachel as usual."
Chandler answers Phoebe's question after he Rolls his eyes about Joey's last comment. "I don't know but it doesn't look good." There's a slight pause. and then Chandler says to Ross. "Ross- Buddy? I don't know if you can hear us but… you have to be strong okay? We can't lose you. If not for us- definitely come back for Rachel, I've never seen her so devastated."
"Chandler? Maybe we should try to think of happy thoughts huh?" Phoebe says trying to think positively.
"I'm sorry it's just…" Chandler starts to get teary eyed. "He can't leave us" Phoebe hugs him.
"Damn it Ross." Joey says quietly. Silence fills the room again. Phoebe breaks the hug with Chandler,
"You know what? Maybe we should go get Rachel." Phoebe is just as sad, but she's trying to think positive, "He'll be okay,you'll see." They leave and go back to the waiting room.
When Monica sees them, she stands up, "How is he guys?"
Chandler, shocked that this is all happening, says, "He doesn't look like Ross. In a weird way he just looks so peaceful. "
Rachel, realizing again that Monica hasn't see him yet, asks, "Monica? Do you want to go see him?"
Monica's sad but she's not letting Rachel see incase that would upset her more. "You know what? I'm okay right now. Why don't you go by his side he needs you."
"Are you sure?" Kinda surprised she didn't want to see him.
"Yeah" Hugs her again. Rachel leaves.
Joey askes Monica, concerned, "Mon? Are you okay?"
"Ohh I've been better. He'll be okay right guys?"
Phoebe says, "He'll be fine," looks at Chandler. "he has to be."
Rachel walks into Ross's room. She pulls up a chair next to his bed, doesn't say anything just takes his hand and brakes down crying. "Damn it Ross, please don't leave me." At that point, Ross grasps her hand back. She looks at him and gets excited. "Ross? Oh my gosh you're okay! How do you feel?"
Ross is in a lot of pain, so it hurts for him to talk and it takes a while to say anything. "Rachel…"
Rachel is so happy that he's awake and that he said her name. "Yeah?" Ross continues,
"I want you to know that I love you very much and tell the kids even though they might not be able to see me I'll be there."
Rachel's smile drops. "No Ross - don't. You are not saying your goodbyes - you don't have to - you're not going anywhere."
"Rachel, look at me, I can barely move a muscle." Rachel responds in a positive manner, not wanting to accept that he just might not make it, "But, but you said barely move a muscle, so you can move a little right?" He doesn't say anything. Rachel gets serious now, "Look Ross… you're going to be fine- you have to be."
"If something does happen to me Rachel you're going to regret…"
Rachel cuts him off, being a little stubborn, she says, "If you're asking me to say goodbye, I won't do it."
"Rachel, do you love me?"
Rachel can't believe he would even have to ask, "What? Of course I do, more than anything."
"Then do it for me- tell me how you feel."
Rachel says firmly, "You're not going to die Ross! That kind of stuff happens in movies and TV but not to me."
Ross tries to ignore her, "I love you so much, I've never loved anybody the way I love you…
Rachel begins to cry again, "Shut-up Ross!"
Ross continues, "…I love how you care so much about your family and your job, you have such a good heart Rach."
Rachel says louder and more firmly "Shut-up!"
"Remember when you were pregnant with Caleb? (AN: Their oldest son, he's 17) Remember how scared you were? And I... "
"…yeah you assured me that everything was going to be fine, right?" Cuts him off by making a point, continues, "So let me do the same for you. Everything is going to be fine."
"Please tell me you love me."
Rachel can't believe he still wants her to say goodbye,ignores him, "I'm going to go get Dr. Hayward. (AN: Any "All My Children" Fans? I love Doctor Hayward. He's not evil in this though. Enjoy. Oh, and he's been their Doctor since Caleb was born. I know, he kind of does a little of everything fits into my story better. He knows them pretty well too.)
Ross can't believe how stubborn she's being, "Rachel..." She just walks out. He sighs.
Rachel finds Dr. Hayward, "Hey Doctor" she says in a upset voice.
"Hey is everything okay?"
"Ross is awake" Hayward doesn't know why she's so upset if he conscious, "That's wonderful, how is he?"
Rachel says in a sarcastic way, "Well he wants me to tell him goodbye… but other than the fact that my husband thinks he's going to die, he's never been better."
"That's awful what did you say?"
"I told him I'm not going to say goodbye to him…"
"I'll go check on him." He's about to leave when Rachel continues
"…I won't say goodbye… I told him he's not going to die and the moment I even start telling him…" she stops and gets teary eyed.
"Rachel, why don't you go get some coffee and I'll meet you in the cafeteria okay?"
Rachel still continues on, "…that I love him and I'll never forget him is the moment I start thinking that he may just die." shaking her head, "but you know what? No. he's not going to die that kind of stuff happens in movies… not to me."
"Rachel? I want to hear more, I really do but I have to check on Ross, okay? Go to the cafeteria."
"Okay" She leaves
Hayward enters Ross' room. "Hey Ross- you decided to come back to us huh?"
"Were you just talking to Rachel?" He asks, worried about her.
"I'm just going to take some vital signs and see how you're doing."
"I'm fine. how's Rachel? She seemed pretty upset when she left."
Dr Hayward, checking his monitor and other stuff. Not looking at Ross when he says…, "How is she supposed to be?" He looks at his chart and marks something looks back up at the monitor thing. "Her husband thinks he's going to die." He looks at Ross now.
"I just want to know if I'll even be missed." Ross replys, unsure of what to say."
"Of course you will be missed Ross. Rachel loves you so much"
"Then why won't she just tell me?"
"Well your vital signs seem to be okay. But there still is a chance you could slip into a coma."
Ross goes on, "I mean if she loved me she'd…" He realizes what Hayward just said, "Wait, I could still slip into a coma? How? I'm awake, you said my vital signs are good."
"Are you tired?"
"Very, why?"
"Because when you take a nap, which I suggest you do, it could happen then. Ross gets upset, "Do you want me to die?"
Hayward laughs slightly, "of course not, you need your rest."
"Can you please talk to Rachel for me?"
"Yeah, in fact, I was just going to meet her in the cafeteria."
Ross thinks that its weird, "whoa whoa what? That's kind of inappropriate dontcha think?"
Hayward in defense, "You just asked me to talk to her."
"That's beside the point. You were already planning on talking to my wife.
"Ross you need some rest." He leaves
In the meantime Rachel is talking to the gang getting them up-to-date. "Doctor Hayward is talking to him right now just taking some vital signs. I'm actually going to meet him in the cafeteria."
Joey has the same reaction as Ross, "That's a little inappropriate"
"No it's not. We just need to discuss his condition. Anyway why don't you guys go home for the night."
Monica asks, "Are you sure you don't want anybody to stay here with you?
Rachel insisting, "No it's fine. It's late, why don't you guys just go home. Actually, I was going to ask you if you could watch our kids tonight?"
Monica answers without having to think about it, "Of Course."
"You can all go if you want."
Chandler says, "Okay well why don't we go see him before we leave?"
Rachel firmly says, "No I won't let you do that."
The End. Please please please let me know what you think so far. Criticism is welcomed let me know if you have any ideas or anything. Thanks! Second chapter will be longer and better, this story has sort of a slow start. The best is only yet to come.
