A/N: Sorry once again for the long wait for an update. There will be one or two more chapters and an epilogue after this chapter… and they will hopefully be posted more quickly, since both of us are off school for the summer now.

Disclaimer: None of this is ours, sadly…

Chapter 11

"Oh." Rachel said after she shared a romantic kiss with Ross they've both been longing for.

"I know." Ross whispered as he enveloped her in a romantic hug.

"This is nice." Rachel said happily as she laid her head back against Ross's chest, listening to her lover's heartbeat.

"We sure have had a lot of memories here." Rachel said as if it was just yesterday...

Rach: (Ross enters) Hi.

Ross: I didn't get a cat

Rachel: That's...um interesting

Ross: No...that's totally the unopposite of interesting

Rachel: Ok, I got it Ross

Ross: You had no right to tell me you ever had feelings for me.

Rachel: What?

Ross: I was doing great with Julie before I found out about you

Rachel: hey, I was doing great before I found out about you, ya think it's easy for me to see you with Julie

Ross: The thing is I don't need this right now...this ship has sailed

Rachel: Alright you go and do that Ross...because I don't need your stupid ship.

Ross: (mad) Fine!

(Rachel is silently crying as Ross comes back and they share a passionate kiss)

"I'm sorry, for everything." Ross said, as he squeezed her hand reassuringly.

"Oh its okay, we've both been stupid in the past," Rachel replied. They both started laughing as if it were like old times.

"What do you say I take you out to dinner tonight?" Ross said sheepishly.

"I'd like that." Rachel said, feeling truly happy, happier than she'd felt for the longest time.

Later that night, Ross and Rachel sat in a beautiful new restaurant downtown. Neither really noticed their surroundings, however, all they really cared about was that it was the two of them together, finally.

"Rachel...about this whole thing with the baby, and everything..." Ross began. Rachel looked up at him.

"You don't have to worry anymore, I'm here for you," Ross continued. "I know this may seem a little forward, and sudden, but I really think it's right, for us...you're the most beautiful and amazing woman I've ever known, and I know you're going through a very difficult time in your life, and all I want to do is put my all into making everything all right for you again." At this, Ross got down on one knee. Rachel's eyes immediately filled with tears as she knew what was coming.

"Rachel Karen Green...will you marry me?"
