Author's Note: Thanks so much for all of the great reviews! They really made my day. I know I've been updating really fast, but it's only because after this week my life is going to go crazy. I'm graduating from college, starting grad school, and moving all in the same week!
Mandy sighed as she walked off of the plane. She was so tired! She had worked all day, then had taken a 7 PM flight to Miami. It was now 11, and she was exhausted! She walked through the airport and down to baggage claim. As she was watching for her suitcase, she heard someone yell her name. She turned and saw her parents and Kristie running toward her. She ran and met them, giving each one a huge hug. It was so great to be home! They grabbed her bag and headed to the car. Kristie was spending the night with Mandy, so they just went straight home. They were all extremely tired, so they went straight to bed when they got home. Mandy's mom and dad were both now retired, so there would be plenty of time for catching up in the morning.
"So what is with the visit?" asked Kristie. "I thought when you left for New York we would never see you again!"
"Well I just missed you and my parents. There's nothing wrong with a visit is there?" asked Mandy.
"I don't guess so! I just thought that you were so in love with New York that all of us way down here in Florida would be forgotten at least until I moved up there in August," said Kristie.
"I'm still in love with New York. I've just really been missing home too," said Mandy. "Just wait until you move up there, it's harder than you think!"
"Yeah, I've been getting really nervous about it," said Kristie. "At least you have a family up there. I'm going to be all alone."
"Well there's enough of my family to go around. Rachel just found out that she's pregnant again!" said Mandy.
"Again!" exclaimed Kristie. "I thought she was getting her tubes tied."
"Well apparently they couldn't wait until she had the surgery and had another accident," said Mandy.
"Good grief! I hope that I'm in love with my husband that much," said Kristie.
"Yeah, so do I," said Mandy. "I'm looking for my Ross everyday."
The next morning Rachel was woken up with a sick feeling in her stomach. So it begins, she thought! She still hadn't told Ross about her pregnancy. She knew she was going to have to eventually since she was now 5 weeks along, and her morning sickness was starting. Ross was already up getting the kids breakfast, so he didn't see or hear Rachel run into their bathroom and get sick. After about 15 minutes she was starting to feel a little better, so she got ready and left for work. She had a few phone calls to make and reports to file then she was leaving at lunch and she, Ross, and the kids were going to the beach. When Rachel got the office she started to feel sick again. She barely made it to the restroom before she got sick again. Gosh, she really hoped she didn't have all day sickness again like she had when she was pregnant with Caleb. That was the worst!
Later that day when they finally got to the beach, after five stops along the way, Rachel was exhausted! She had been sick two more times since lunch. So far she had been successful at hiding it from Ross, but she knew if she kept this up Ross was going to figure it all out pretty quickly. "Sweetie," said Ross. "Why don't I take Emma and Caleb out to the beach while you and Bella take a nap. You both look pretty tired."
"Sounds great," said Rachel with relief. Going to the beach was definitely not something that she felt like doing!
Mandy's parents took her out for an early dinner on Friday night because she had plans with Kristie and a couple of their other girlfriends later on. "Okay," started Anita Jones. "Your father and I have something we would like to tell you."
"Sure, what is it?" answered Mandy.
"Well," said Robert Jones. "Since your mom and I are both retired we decided that we might like to move somewhere else."
"Okay," said Mandy.
"We also really don't want to be so far away from you," said Anita. "We know that what you want to do even when you get out of college will require you to live in New York, so we've decided that we may sell our house and move to New York!"
"Are you sure you want to live in New York?" asked Mandy.
"Yes, we're sure," her mom replied. "The only family either one of us have is you, and neither one of us can stand the thought of always having to be so far away from you. Are you okay with this?"
"Yeah, I think it's a great idea!" said Mandy. "I've been getting homesick some and this will help so much. Also this way both of my families will live in the same place so I can see you guys and Rachel and her family on holidays and everything. Do you know where you want to live?"
"Actually, we've already made an offer on a house and it was accepted," said Robert.
"Well where is it?" asked Mandy.
"It's two streets over from Ross and Rachel's. We've been talking with them, and they helped us find it," said Anita.
"You mean Ross and Rachel both already knew about this and didn't tell me?" exclaimed Mandy.
"Don't be mad at them," said Anita. "We made them promise to let us tell you."
Rachel took Bella with her into the master bedroom of the Geller family beach house. She laid Bella down on the bed and was getting ready to join her when she once again had to run to the bathroom and get sick. She had never had morning sickness that was this bad. When she stood up she was feeling really dizzy, but she made it back to the bed and lay down next to Bella. Just as she was closing her eyes, her cell phone started to ring. She got up and walked across the room to answer it. "Hello?" said Rachel.
"Hey Rachel!" said Mandy's very excited voice. "I can't believe you knew my parents were moving to New York and didn't tell me!"
"Yeah, they made me promise," Rachel weakly replied. She was beginning to feel even more dizzy.
"Are you okay?" asked Mandy. "You sound kind of weird."
"Yeah, I'm fine," answered Rachel. "My morning sickness just started today and I've already been sick at least six times. I'm also feeling really dizzy."
"You don't sound like you're fine," said Mandy. "You need to go and get Ross."
"No, I'm not going to do that," said Rachel. "Ross still doesn't know plus he's out on the beach with the kids. I'm just going to go lay down for a while then I'll be fine." As soon as Rachel said this everything went black.
Mandy heard a thud on the other end of the line. "Rachel, are you there? Rachel, answer me!" yelled Mandy. When she didn't get a response she hung up the phone and called Ross while silently praying that he had taken his cell phone with him to the beach.
The phone rang in her ear four times before someone finally picked up. "Hello?" came Ross's voice.
"Ross, this is Mandy," she said. "Go in the house and check on Rachel, NOW! I was on the phone with her and she collapsed!"
"What! Are you sure?' asked Ross as he quickly motioned for Emma and Caleb to come with him.
"Yes, I'm sure! Hurry!" answered Mandy. She then thought for a minute before adding, "Rachel is probably going to kill me for this, but you need to know that she's pregnant."
"Oh my gosh!" yelled Ross as he hung up the phone and ran for the house while his kids stared at their father wondering what in the world was going on.
A/N: Sorry to leave you hanging like that, but I will update again soon! Please review!
