Thank you so much for the reviews. After their little thing in last chapter, you don't need to have a PhD to figure out what happened.

A New Beginning

Chapter 13. All I Want is You

When Rachel woke up the next morning, she found Ross looking at her. She turned around and gave him a kiss.

"Hi you" Ross whispered.

"Hi you too" Rachel smiled. She laid her head back at the pillow, "Ross? What is this?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is it because we've both gone long without sex, was it make-up sex or is it something else?" she turned her head and looked at him.

Ross leaned in and kissed her nose, "I have three words to say, Rach; I love you"

Rachel got tears in her eyes, "I think I love you too. I'm not quite sure of how it's possible, looking at the fact, we've been away from each other so long, but I just think I've never stopped"

Ross made his way on top of her, giving her small kisses, nothing big, he thought about the morning breath.

She rubbed his back, "Mmmm… this is what I want, it's what I need"

Ross stopped kissing, "Me too"

"Breakfast?" Rachel asked, trying to get out of bed.

"I could think of some other breakfast I would like more" Ross said, trying to pull her back.

"Ross… no" Rachel said, "We have to figure some things out before the kids come home, okay?"

"You're right" Ross said.

They took on their robes and went to the kitchen.

Ross made coffee, "Rebecca, Clara, Gretchen and Rain are coming soon, I think"

"Okay" Rachel said, "Look, what are we gonna do?"

"What do you exactly mean by that?" Ross asked.

"Isn't it stupid to tell the kids yet? I mean, if it's not working out then they're gonna be disappointed"

"Of course it's gonna work out Rach, why shouldn't it?" Ross said.

"Uh, I don't know" Rachel shrugged, "I just think we should keep it to ourselves for a while, you know, at least until we're about to move"

Ross suddenly looked sad, "What if it's still working when you are about to move?"

"I don't know, Ross. As much as I want to, I cant stay here, it's too far from the store"

Ross nodded, "Okay, well, we can at least enjoy each other till then"

Rachel nodded and grabbed his hand from across the table. They sat like that for a while, just staring at each other, until the 4 girls come barging into the kitchen, Rachel quickly let go of Ross' hand.

"Hi!" Rain said.

"Hi, are you guys already here? That's great" Rachel smiled.

"Aren't you having breakfast?" Clara asked.

"No, we're just drinking coffee" Ross said.

"Something is different with you two" Rebecca noticed, "What's up?"

Rachel got nervous, so she said, "We're spending Christmas here, all of us. We've decided to invite the others too!"

"Yai!" Gretchen said, "We're gonna have Christmas together, that's so great!"

Rain nodded, "I cant wait"

"Well, if you'll excuse me" Rachel said, "I'm gonna go take a shower"

They nodded and Ross couldn't help watching her leave.

When she was out of sight, Rachel leaned against the wall.

Last night had been amazing. Unbelievable.

But if her and Ross was about to start a relationship again, she knew there was something she had to tell him. She had to be honest. She had to have a clean start. A new beginning.

She just knew that if she took a shot and told him, he could also end up not wanting to be with her.

"Wow, this is really our apartment" Joshua said, "It's really amazing"

"I like too" Rachel smiled.

The family was checking out the apartment. Every piece of furniture was in, and the kids were loving it. Rachel loved her bedroom too. It was really big, with a balcony and she had a big bed, plus all her drawers and stuff. The office was great too. She had a computer and a lot of sketches already hanging on the wall with tape. She loved her bathroom the most though. It was romantic, she had a shower AND a bathtub. She could already see herself and Ross sitting in there when they got a chance. They've been together for nearly a month now, and it went well. Except for the fact that she still hadn't gotten the courage to tell him what she knew she had to tell him. They also managed to sleep together most nights, to make up for all the years we've been apart, Ross told her the other night. She just didn't know if she was ready to become a couple in everyone's eyes. She didn't know when they would move, another thing which would be a problem for her and Ross affair, and that bothered her too.

Plus, it was three days before Christmas and she was getting the flu. It really bothered her. She was having fever, and headache, and she felt nausea every time she stood up. The kids had still managed to get her with them today. To see their rooms done. She loved the apartment and couldn't wait to move in. When she stood in her bathroom to admire the bathtub, she suddenly felt nausea again, and rushed to the toilet to vomit. (A/N - Okay, so I think you know where this is going, sorry, couldn't help it) Ross just entered the bathroom, and he kneeled down next to her and held her hair. She flushed the toilet and washed her face.

"Thanks" she told him.

"You're really not feeling well, Rach. I think we should go home" Ross said.

"I'd really appreciate"

Ross took Rachel's hand and they walked into the kitchen where the kids were sitting around the big table, talking.

"We need to take your mother home" Ross said, "If she'll have any chance on getting better before Christmas, she'll have to calm down a bit and rest"

Clara looked at her mom, "Mom, you're really not looking good"

Rachel shook her head: "What're you eating?"

"Ice-cream, you want some?"

"Ew" Rachel said, feeling her stomach turn around, she rushed to the bathroom and threw up again. When she came back, she looked at her daughter "Clara, was what in that ice-cream?"

"It's chocolate/vanilla!" Clara said.

Suddenly Rachel felt herself trembling, no it couldn't be, could it? All the signs where there, first it was the flu, now she was sure there was more into it. She felt herself getting tired, she had to find out, "Take me home" she whispered.

"I will" Ross said, "Come on kids, your mom isn't feeling well, we gotta go home"

The kids all walked behind Ross, all of them pretty scared of what was wrong with their mother.

So, again I've decided to go with the cliché. I'm really predictable, huh? Well, I'll just have to be that. leave me a review, and you'll make my day. Thanks, Stessa.
