"Yes, Ross I'll marry you!" Rachel said, as Ross slipped the ring on her finger and swept her up off her feet with joy.

"Honey, remember the baby. Rachel said with a chuckle.

"Oh right." Ross said, sheepishly. He put her down gently as they held each other tightly. "When do you think we should tell the guys? Ross said, brushing his fingertips against her skin.

"Let's wait till tomorrow."

Ross just smiled. "Yeah, we better or Monica will start planning the wedding tonight." he joked. Rachel smiled.

"How about we go back to my place after dinner?" Ross suggested. Rachel agreed, and the two sat and gazed into each other's eyes, barely noticing their surroundings at the restaurant.

The next morning as Monica and Chandler were having brunch alone Monica decided that this would be a good time for them to talk about their relationship.

"Honey, we need to talk," Monica began.

"Did I do something wrong?" Chandler asked nervously.

"No, I just think we need to discuss where we are," Monica assured him.

"Ok." Chandler said, still nervous.

"I need to know, do you really love me." Monica whispered out.

Chandler just sat there for awhile thinking to himself "Oh no, she thinks I'll end up like Joey sleeping with her and never call her back." He put his face in his hands.

"Well..." Monica said, getting scared.

"Mon, sweetie I was really happy when we first got together an there is no doubt in my mind we'll have a future together…I love you." Chandler said, giving her shoulder a squeeze.

"I love you too" Monica said, as she went over to him as they held each other for the longest time.

"Hey Pheebs, want some sandwich?" Joey asked, as Phoebe entered his apartment. "What is in that?" Phoebe said, noticing all the variety of meats inside the sandwich. "Hmm; turkey, ham, roast beef…."

"Stop!" Phoebe blurted out, scared for the innocent animals.

"Calm down Pheebs I won't eat it while you're here" Joey said putting his sandwich away. "Sorry Joe." "It's ok Pheebs." Joey said, giving her hand a squeeze. Phoebe just smiled. There was a moment of silence then all of a sudden the two friends went in for a short kiss followed by another surprised silence.

"Well we've never done that before," Joey commented, before they both started laughing and kissing again.

That afternoon Ross had gathered everybody back at his apartment so he and Rachel could tell the gang there good news.

"Now Ross hurry up with your news you made me miss an episode of Baywatch." Chandler said, disappointed.

"You want to be sleeping on the sofa tonight." Monica said, glaring at him.

"Sorry Mon." Chandler said quickly.

"Well..." Ross paused as he took Rachel's hand.

"We're engaged!" Rachel screamed as everyone came to congratulate the reunited lobsters. "Oh god." Rachel moaned out as she felt a puddle surround her.

"Sweetheart your water broke." Ross said, excitedly as he held her close to him. "I'll call a taxi for you guys and let Dr. Harland know you're on your way." Monica said, picking up the phone as the guys helped Ross and Rachel pack for the hospital.

"Everything is going to be alright." Ross soothed to Rachel as he helped her into the taxi. "Ok." Rachel whispered out.

"We're gonna be parents." Ross said, rubbing Rachel's belly softly as they headed for the hospital. And even though the baby wasn't really Ross', and even though it wasn't born yet, Rachel knew that Ross would love this baby as his own and never think otherwise.
