I am so so sorry this chapter took so long to get up. I just never really had the time to just sit and type. So here it is the last and final chapter. I hope you all enjoyed this Fiction and really hope that you read my other fictions that will be posted in the future. Thanks again!
We last left off where Rachel decided that its time Ross knows everything about her having twins…
Rachel is walking down the, what seems to be a very long hallway, to their apartment. She just gets to her apartment. She's talking to herself, reassuring herself, "Ok I can do this." She takes a deep breath and walks in. Ross is running all over the apartment. He's packing. Rachel didn't expect this. 'is he leaving me?' she thought. Their eyes meet. As Rachel takes off her coat and hangs it up, she asks, unsure of what to expect, "Hey, what, what are you doing."
"I'm leaving." Ross blankly replies. As he goes into the bedroom.
Rachel soon after follows him. Still not sure of what to think, "Well where are you going?" She just kept on thinking, 'This isn't supposed to be happening, I'm supposed to be telling Ross about the twins right now.'
Reminding her, "I have that business trip I was telling you about a couple months ago."
Rachel took a sigh of relief. Yeah they have problems, but she surly didn't want him to leave her, "Sorry, I must of forgot. So when are you leaving?"
"First thing tomorrow."
Rachel just nods her head. Ross is still running from room to room, from their bedroom to their bathroom and so on. No one says anything for a couple of minutes. Rachel's just watching him and thinking. As much as she doesn't want to start a fight, she has to be sure she looks at him, "You really have a business trip?"
Without a doubt he replies, as he put some more clothes in his suitcase, "Yeah, why?"
Rachel looks down and shakes her head, "Nothing I…"
This caused Ross to actually stop packing for a minute to pay attention to her, He has no problem asking her this, since he wasn't, "What? Did you think I was having an affair or something?"
She doesn't look back up. She didn't want to look him in the eye, for some reason.
"Rachel, come on. I know we might have problems, but I would never cheat on you."
Looks at him, "So you admit it?"
"Admit what?"
"That we have problems…" Before he can say anything, she gets excited since maybe then they can go to counseling or something. Ross has never said that they had problems to her until now. "…then maybe can both go to counseling or try some sorta…" Trying to think of the word.
Ross doesn't let her finish, he cuts her off irritated he doesn't want to deal with this, "Rachel, stop." She gets upset again. She got her hopes up that her and Ross could be civil. He continues, "Look I don't want to deal with this right now. We'll talk when I get back." Rachel feels her eyes fill up with tears as she looks at Ross. She walks past him to go anywhere else that Ross isn't. Ross takes a deep breath and looks at his watch, "Ok you know what? I could use a break from packing so…"
"Ross you don't have to. We'll talk when you get back."
"It's fine Rachel, we're going to talk about this sooner or later. So lets just get this over with." Ok so Ross isn't totally being the Ross Rachel fell in love with, but she's just glad that they might be getting somewhere. Even if their 'talk' involves them getting upset, they're getting things off their minds. Awkwardness fills the room. Ross begins, "So uh, how was your, how was your session today?" He finally gets it out.
'Oh that's right, I have to tell him'. She almost forgot. She's just so happy that they've in the same room for almost 7 minutes without wanting to kill each other. "It was good. Which reminds me Ross. I need to talk to about some stuff."
Ross rolls his eyes, annoyed, "Therapy stuff, Rachel?"
"Its just some stuff that I've been keeping from you and I really need to tell you."
"Sounds serious. What is it?"
"Lets go and sit on the couch." She's nervous and scared at what he's going to say. They sit down on the couch. Ross on one end, Rachel on the other. Ross is unsure of what she's been keeping from him.
She takes a deep breath as she continues, "Alright, ok. Well I just want to tell you that I, I love you Ross and I hope you understand why I did what I did." Now Ross is very suspicious. "I've been keeping something from you and it's time you should know. I hope you realize just how hard this was for me and how hard this is for me to tell you."
"What? Were you the one who cheated on me?"
Rachel didn't realize that what she was saying might sound that way, she gets defensive, "No, god no, I would never do that." He doesn't say anything. "Anyway, four years ago…I'm just going to say it." Takes a deep breath, "I had twins Ross." Waits for his reaction. He doesn't say anything right away…
"I'm sorry, it sounded like you said you had twins." Making sure he heard right.
Rachel just continues, "It was 2 months into my pregnancy that I started gaining weight faster than I should've been and I found out that I was going to have twins. And I…" She pauses to see if he had anything to say but he didn't, "What are you thinking?" Still speechless, "Come on Ross. Please say something."
He gets up and walks toward the bedroom. Rachel's eyes follow him, "You're just going to walk away from this?" She stands up.
"I have to finish packing."
"How long are you going to be gone Ross? You can finish later. Come on talk to me."
Ross starts yelling, "What do want me to say Rachel! That I'm happy? Happy that you never told me? I am so…" Calms down a bit, "ugh you know what? I can't even look at you. I have never felt so far away from you." Starts to go back in the bedroom"
Rachel speaks up. She's not nervous anymore since it's already out there, "You know I know who you're really mad at."
He stops and turns around and looks at her, "Excuse me?"
She starts walking towards him, "Yeah you're not mad at me at all. The person you're really mad at is yourself."
"Oh don't give me that therapy crap." Starts mocking a therapist, "The person you're rally mad at is yourself…" Goes back to normal, "Please. Why on earth would I be mad at myself?"
Replies sarcastically, "Gee I don't know, maybe because you never even noticed that I was bigger than normal. You never asked me. Maybe you're mad at yourself for being such a jerk back then." Off to the side, "Not that anything's changed. I mean, god Ross, did you think I was going to have a 14 pound baby?"
"So you're telling me that I was just supposed to ask you if you were having twins? And make you feel bad about yourself for being bigger? And especially because twins don't even run in our family. What happened is rare."
"You could've said something Ross to show that you cared somewhat."
Ross gets defensive, raises his voice a little, "But I didn't…" He stops.
"You didn't care? Is that what you were going to say?" Shakes her head, "What good would it have done if I did tell you? You wouldn't been around anyway."
"Ok let me try to understand…do you know how rare it is to have twins when they don't run in the family? It sounds like you made this up Rachel."
"Ok you know what? Before you say anything else. Twins do run in my family."
"What? No they don't. Who?"
"My mom had twins and put them up for adoption."
"You never told me that."
"I never even met them. My parents were young and they weren't ready for a baby, let alone 2. They didn't feel that abortion was the right way to go, so they decided to put them up for adoption."
"So did they regret it?"
"They hardly ever talk about it, but I know that they regret it a lot now then they did back then."
"I'm sorry."
Rachel didn't expect any sympathy, "It's fine. You can finish packing now." She goes in the kitchen. FYI: They have the swinging kitchen door She starts crying as she sits down at the kitchen table. Shortly after Ross comes in. she didn't not expect him to. It was very surprising. She also didn't want him to see her cry. She quickly dries her tears. "What is it Ross?"
He grabs the Kleenex off the counter and sits across from her, "I'm so sorry you had to go through this all alone."
Rachel did not think that he'd apologize like this. Sure, he apologized back then, but this time it was different. Rachel knew things would be different from this day out.
Ross continues, "You gave birth to not one, but to babies that didn't make it." He can't believe it. "You are so strong Rachel." She doesn't say anything. Ross has to ask, "So why are you still here? With me? I mean how can you love someone who's put you through hell?"
Rachel didn't have an answer to that. She changes the subject, "Do you need help finishing packing?"
She gets up and starts to head for the bedroom, but doesn't make it out of the kitchen before Ross gets up and grabs her arm, "Wait, hold on." Rachel gets scared. Ross has never grabbed her like that before. She looks at his hand on her arm and he notices and lets go, "Are you scared of me Rachel? Is that why you're still here?"
She shakes her head, "No."
"Ok well then tell me." Starts getting louder and louder, "Tell me, if I hurt you over and over and over again, tell me why you're still here!"
Rachel starts crying and caves in and starts yelling over his voice, "I don't know! Ok? I don't know!" She walks out and goes into the nursery and takes a stuffed animal and she can't control her crying, she leans against the wall and slides down to the floor.
Ross comes in shortly after her. He sits next to her on the floor and takes her hand. She looks at it. "Come here." He takes her in a hug. She lets him and she cries into his shoulder, "Shh." He says as he strokes her hair and kisses her head. Rachel's head isn't on his shoulder anymore. She looks at him with so much hurt and agony in her eyes. "So where do we go from here?" He asks her as he wipes away a few of her tears. "You want to go to marriage counseling or…?"
She sniffs and shakes her head, "No."
He's surprised since he thought that that's what she wanted, "Are you, are you sure?"
"Kiss me Ross."
"What?" He can't believe she's being like this.
"Just kiss me."
"Rachel I really want you to know that I'm sorry that I've been a jerk pretty much our whole marriage. I am truly sorry. I Don't deserve you." He says as he gets up off the floor.
"It's ok Ross." She also gets up.
"No it's not. Rachel, I've caused you so much pain and I feel horrible."
"I believe you Ross. I accept your apology."
"You are so great Rachel. I'm going to make it up to you. I swear."
She smiles, "Ooh I like the sound of that. And how are you planning on doing that?"
Well first, I plan on canceling this business trip and spending the entire weekend with you."
Touched, Rachel replies, "Oh you don't have to do that."
"I want to." Smiles. "I love you so much Rachel. And I 100, completely, mean it."
Smiles back at him, "Are you ever going to kiss me?"
He laughs, "Are you even listening to what I'm saying?"
Teasing around, "Nope, just waiting." They laugh as Ross takes her waist and moves closer to her and gives her one of the best kisses they have ever had. He picks her up off the floor and carries her into their bedroom and lays her on the bed as they make out, "Make love to me Ross." She whispers into his ear.
"Making Memories Of Us" By Keith Urban starts playing and a montage of Ross and Rachel memories start to show in the background. Good memories and bad ones.
I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my own
word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I
wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a
cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
(Chorus:)
And
I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust
making memories of us
I wanna honor your mother
And I
wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad
outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I
wanna make your world better than it's ever been
Chorus
We'll
follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll
be a new day
Comin' your way
I'm gonna be here for you from
now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the
limits but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with
a warm, wet kiss
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves
you
And I'll earn your trust makin' memories of us
And I'm
gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust makin
memories of us
3 months go by and things have been going great. Better than great.
Rachel is on the couch, on the phone and Ross is next to her. We don't hear what her mom is saying. You can kinda figure it out.
Ross and Rachel are both smiling. Ross is listening to Rachel talk to her. "Yeah, we're pretty excited about it." Pause, "Yep 3 months." Pause, "We find out next week." Pause, she says as she smiles at her husband, "He's been so wonderful mom." Pause, "Yeah." Pause, "No I know. So how about you and dad? Are you guys excited about being grandparents?" Pause, she laughs, "Yeah great." Pause "Ok well we'll talk to you as soon as we find out" Pause, "I will mom" Pause, "Love you too. Bye" I hope that wasn't confusing. She hangs up. "Mom says 'hi'."
"Oh 'hi'. They smile at each other. "I love you so much."
"I love you too." She kisses him.
"Hey. I have to go into work for just a couple of hours. Okay? I'll be home for dinner." He gets up and gets his coat.
"Oh okay." She gets up too
"Bye, I love you."
"I love you too." She kisses him and is about to break when he kisses her longer.
"Now you and the baby take it easy ok? We'll see ya when I get home."
"Bye" He leaves.
Time lapse. It's getting closer to dinner. Rachel is making it. She notices that they need butter and decides to call Ross in hopes to catch him before he leaves.
"This is Ross."
"Hey it's me."
"Is everything ok?"
"Yeah, it's great. We're just out of butter. Do you think you can pick some up?"
"Sure I was just on my way out. I should be home in about a half hour."
"Thanks hun."
"Not a problem. I'll see you later."
"Ok, bye."
"Love you."
"I love you too."
About an hour goes by and Ross isn't home yet. 'There was probably just traffic, no big deal. If he's not home with in the next half hour. Then I'll call someone.' Rachel thought.
The phone rings, "Hello Ross?"
A strange voice replies, "Um, no-Is this Mrs. Geller?"
"Yes, yes this is?"
"This is officer Nelson."
Knowing there's bad news, Rachel's eyes grow wide, "Oh god…"
"Ross was in a car accident and we need you to come to the hospital as soon as possible."
Rachel drops the phone, in shock.
The End…
Well I hope you liked it. Did you get it? Her 'dream' is coming true…No they didn't have all the kids, but the other parts of the dream is about to come true. I just thought to clear that up incase you weren't sure. Please review! It'd mean so much to me. Let me know what you thought of the whole fiction.! Thanks a bunch.
