This takes time about the time that Emma is born……

Ross Geller stood and looked into the window. He saw her little aqua eyes staring up at him. She was this little person with light hair and blue eyes. She was the image of her mother, and that was sheer beauty. Why couldn't this have been six years ago, when they were in love , why didn't he get to propose that night? How is it that the mother of this perfect little baby and him were no more than just friends who had lived together for the past six months? Phoebe and him and just talked about this and how he should be with her.

Chandler needed a break from Monica the baby making machine. Ever since Rachel had gone into labor, she had this sick obsession about giving Emma a cousin. He left her to go for a walk and then he found his friend making silly faces at his new baby daughter.

"You keep doing that and your face is going to freeze." Chandler laughed as Ross looked at him with an embarrassed face. "Oh uhm I am sorry , I just wanted to visit my little girl." He looked back to see the baby girl smiling at him. Chandler began to make a face as well at his little niece.

"Phoebe brought something up to me." Ross said in a serious tone. "And I have been up here trying to make sense of all of this." Chandler knew that his buddy needed to talk and a lot had happened in forty hours. "And what is that?" Chandler asked sincerely. "Well , she wanted to know why Rach and I weren't together. " he answered plainly. "She said it is obvious that I still love her and that the baby would be the perfect thing to bring us together. " Chandler nodded. "And why aren't you together?" Ross got up from the chair and began to pace. "Well it is all because of our history together. I mean that year was great , we were so in love and then I messed up . Then I married Emily and got divorced. Then we got drunk and married in Vegas and had to get another divorce. One night , we get so wasted we end up in bed together and Rachel has a baby nine months later. I was even dating another girl seriously while Rachel was pregnant. Chandler, I am scared." Ross admitted to his buddy.

"What are you scared of?" Chandler asked. "I had another child, that I never get to see. I want this little girl to count on me. I never want to do anything to hurt her ever.I am so afraid if we go down that road again, that is going to break Emma's little heart, and I couldn't bear to do that." Ross sighed.

"Answer me this, do you care about Rachel?" Chandler said looking into his eyes. "Of course I do, she is my best friend." Ross smiled. "No do you have any feelings or have you shown any feelings toward her lately?" Ross got a guilty look on his face. "Well yeah, last night when she wouldn't go into labor. The doctor had suggested a few things to speed things up. Things like tea, a walk, or spicy foods, then she said that the foolproof plan to work was to have sex. And Rachel kept trying to tease me, and seduce me ,and I was strong." Ross said proudly.

"Good for you man.' Chandler patted his friend on the shoulder. "Well she finally got to me, and then I just started to kiss her neck like I did when we dated. Both of us were so relieved, and then her water broke. " Ross said simply. "But then here we were , standing at the door and looking at each other, then we just started to kiss again. I felt like every feeling I ever had for her was back." Ross was confused. "Then after Emma was born, the doctor had asked Rachel for a name and she or I didn't have one yet. She had the sweetest smile on her face ." Ross began to have tears in his voice. "And she said to the doctor, not baby girl Green ,baby girl Geller Green. He wiped a tear from his eye. "Chandler , when Ben was born, I had no say in a name , and had to fight for everything. But then she knew how hurt I was with Carol's decision, and she gives Emma my name." He began to cry . "What is it with the water in this place?" he joked as he took out his handkerchief.

Chandler knew the answer , "I think you are still in love with her , my friend. I think this baby was a good thing. It made you two realize how much you still mean to each other and how you both still have feelings." Ross shook his head. "And now my dear mother has given me my grandmother's ring to give to Rachel. She thinks that I should do the decent thing and propose to her. I left it in my coat when I went for a walk. I think it's in Rachel's room. " Chandler looked at him. "Are you ready to propose to her , I mean you haven't been dating or anything." "That''s the thing, I may not want to ask her to marry me, but I would like to see how things stand with us. Maybe start dating again, and see where that would lead." Ross said .

"I think that is a good thing." Chandler had to agree with Ross. "I think you should go clean yourself up , and go get her some little thing , for her , not Emma. Then go and talk to her." He said.

"I know , I 'll go to the gift shop and get her some lilies , those are her favorites. " Ross got up and headed toward the elevator. Chandler walked over to the window and started to talk to little Emma.

"Hi Emma, I am your Uncle Chandler. I am your Uncle because I am married to your aunt and also because your daddy has always been like a brother to me. We went to school together and have always been there for each other. You have another uncle too. He is a really great guy, Uncle Joey. No matter what might happen, your mommy and daddy do care for each other. You may have unexpectedly came into this world , but it was the love that your daddy had for your mommy that created you. You have a crazy Aunt Phoebe who will sing silly songs to you and love you to death and no one will love you more than your aunt Monica. Now I will probably be the one who will tell you the best jokes , unless your daddy steals them that is. He is a great guy as well , despite his boring dinosaur stories. And your mom is one of the most generous people in the world. Plus she is hot. But I have a feeling that you will be someday too. So Emma I would just like to say welcome to the world , don't be too scared , and you are one of the luckiest babies in the world, because you are surrounded with people who love you." He blew a kiss to the now sleeping baby. Then he heard a familiar voice.

"Oh Chandleeeer." The voice whined. "Gotta go Emma." Chandler ran down the hall to get away from his ex's nagging voice.

Ross started down the hall , he had a mission. He and Rachel were going to have a talk. He had gotten her a soda and he also brought with him a bouquet of lilies. Rachel was exhausted and she sat in bed pondering what Janice had said. "What happens when he gets married and has his own family?" Ross had promised her that he would always be there for her. Yet when he married Emily, she had wanted him to never see her again. What would happen if he got another woman like her? Emma would be the one to suffer. Rachel didn't want to face it, she was raising this baby on her own. Joey had came in to see how his friend was doing and then she started to cry . Damn these hormones. Joey went over to get a tissue . Luckily they were on the chair under Ross' coat. Joey lifted up the coat and there they were. But then Joey noticed something had fallen from it. He went to the floor to pick it up. It was a ring box. Joey opened it and his eyes got wide, this was a ring you would give someone for an engagement. That was it , Ross was going to propose sometime today. He couldn't take it, after all , Joey still had feelings for Rachel as well. Holding the ring in his hand, Rachel saw it . She was so relieved , Emma and her wouldn't be alone. "Okay." She said. Joey looked down and realized what he had done. Rachel had thought he proposed to her.

In the meantime, he had for the first time a look of hope on his face as he walked down the halls of the hospital toward what he hoped would be a new beginning. Maybe there was hope for him and Rachel.

Chandler and Monica were now in a broom closet down the hall in the hospital corridor. She wanted him and she wanted him now. They had to have a baby, then all of Monica's dreams will have come true.

Phoebe hurried back toward the guys room. He did say he wanted to go to dinner with her. Maybe she had finally found someone to be with .

And in the nursery, little Miss Emma Geller Green slept peacefully. She had no idea how much the six most important people in her life were about to change.
