Disclaimer: I still wish I owned them. But I'm afraid that it's not gonna change ?


A New Beginning

Chapter 8.

The Living Life

The days flew by really quickly. First, Ross and Rachel got on really great. Rachel was starting on changing the apartment Monica had gotten for her, which by the way was the apartment right over her store, not only ONE, but three, they got a yes to make the three apartments to one big one and that was making Rachel's day. Her and the kids lived at Ross' until the handymen were done, and that would take a long time though. Ross was happy to have his kids with him all days and every morning waking up to a smiling Rachel, (who by the way was getting better at the cooking thing). She had made the family breakfast, and for a long time he felt himself being happy again. The kids were happy too.

Clara had begun in Rebecca's class, and was soon a member of the gang Rebecca hung out with. Joshua, Rain and Gretchen went to a school not far from their home, and was getting on really well, maybe except for Rain, she was getting picked on by some girls in her class, they said she was weird, what she was, but that still doesn't give them the right to pick, like Rebecca had said. But then Clara had told her that Rain didn't care, she was just Rain.

Gretchen had gotten a new best friend instead of Madison and her name was Laura, she was a person you saw almost everyday in the Geller-Green resident. Gretchen wasn't a person who had many friends, she had one, and that person did she always stick with every day. Jonathan was getting quite happy having his mother around. She was like, totally different then his father, and said yes to things, that Ross said no to. That worked well for all the six children.

After a while though, the happy picture seemed to brake. Ross got annoyed by Rachel's fashion phone calls and her reasons to why she wasn't home during dinner. Rachel got angry at Ross every time he talked about dinosaurs with Gretchen, which wasn't fair towards her daughter. She was mad every time one of the kids took all Ross' time, and she couldn't put her finger on why. Ross felt a slight disappointment every time Rachel took Clara and Rebecca out shopping a whole day, whereas he couldn't talk to her, and he couldn't figure out why that bothered him.

Maybe it was their unsaid lust for one another who made them do this stuff. Maybe it was the love that they hadn't been able to share a long time. They both wanted the other, but none of them wanted to admit it. It was hard living in a house, sharing children, sharing bed, with a person you wanted, and didn't have the courage to tell that you did want.

Rachel's mood changed every second. She yelled at Gretchen for getting a note home from school because she hadn't done her homework, and then ten minutes later, she felt herself crying and hugging the daughter she'd just been angry at, asking for forgiveness and for trying to forget it, by the way, not mentioned any of the stuff to her father.

Ross found himself getting more and more upset with the little things, when Rebecca's jacket was laying lazily on the floor in the kitchen. Before he was able to just pick it up, but now he felt the need to yell about it, to make the house brake, and his voice shatter all the conversations there had been going on.

The kids soon felt the awkwardness and wished for it to be over, but none of them knew how to do that, and that only maked them want it even more.

Monica and Chandler had gotten Lena as a daughter, and Monica tried desperately to make a nice home for her, which she did.

Phoebe saw the wrongs in her friends life, but she couldn't figure out was what the problem, nor could she talk to Monica, Chandler or Joey, they all seemed to be preoccupied with their own stuff. She wished there was a way for her to find out, what exactly was bothering her long lost new found friend, and the long lost new found friends ex-husband.


I know this wasn't the longest chapter, but I just needed some time to let you know that even though the family night went great, everything doesn't go as smooth as that. I'll soon let you up for more, and make things happen, this story has a point you know? I'm posting two chappies today, because this really wasn't long. Remember to leave me a review. Thanks, Stessa.
