Rachel sat down on the couch with the remote. She sobbed as she flipped through the channels from soap opera to soap. This used to make her so happy. Even in the hospital, she would watch while she was getting her chemo treatments.

"Rach, honey, someone is here is to see you." Ross said as he slowly opened the front door. He had hoped this person would snap her out of her depression. Rachel switched off the tv and then jumped up. "I told you I don't want to see anyone and I don't want to talk to anyone."

"But this person heard you were sick and they wanted to come and visit you." Ross had a certain way of persuading Rachel. "Come on, they came a long way. Just to see you." Rachel tied her Hermes scarf around her head and fixed her sweatshirt around her band aid. Ross slowly opened the door and then Chandler walked through. "What a rotten trick , Geller." She exclaimed when she saw Chandler. "It's only Chandler. I see him all the time." She said disappointed.

Usually Chandler would take offense to the comment, but he and Ross had hoped Rachel's visitor would make her feel better. Chandler entered the door and then Rachel saw who was behind him.

"Hi Rachel." Nora Tyler Bing said as she entered with flowers. "I heard what had happened so I thought I would come and visit my son and while I was here, I would come and visit you." She sat down the flowers and hugged her. Then she went over and hugged Ross as well. "It is always so nice to see you , Ross." She said sexily. Chandler separated them quickly.

"Alright mother, I think that is quite enough." Chandler said.

Rachel always loved when Chandler's mother came to visit. She led such an exciting life, writing her erotic novels and traveling all over the world to promote her books. She remembered when she heard that Nora was Chandler's mother , she got all excited. Whenever she traveled , she always took her books on the plane. This was so nice that she took time out of her schedule to see the poor sick cancer patient.

"So how are you doing?" Nora sat down on the couch and patted Rachel's hand. "I know this couldn't have been easy for you and Chandler told me you just started chemo." Rachel just put her head down and looked down at the floor. "I am not doing well at all and I am sorry that I am not better company." Nora took her face in her hand and looked right at Rachel. "That's okay sweetie. I know all about it. I had the same thing about fifteen years ago." Nora admitted.

Chandler and Ross were sitting at Central Perk drinking a coffee. They both decided it would be a good idea if Rachel talked to Nora alone.Gunther wandered over when he saw them sitting on the couch. "Well how is Rachel doing?" he asked shyly. Ross turned to him and said. "She is fine right now, she'll be fine." He was almost saying it to convince himself of it. Gunther sat down next to him. "You know Ross, for the longest time I never liked you. " Gunther said. Ross knew that Gunther had always had a crush on Rachel and after she got off the plane , he did seem to resent him a little. "But I will say this, you have been such a good husband and boyfriend to her, and I really admire you getting through this. You are so strong and she is lucky to have someone to lean on that loves her as much as you do." The revelation brought a smile to Ross' face. He was doing something right after all.

"You had breast cancer?" Rachel's hand went to her mouth. "But you have always been so glamorous and sexy , I mean you are gorgeous."Rachel couldn't believe that Chandler's mother who had always been seen with sexy, interesting men had a massectomy. "Yes, I did. And I got through it. And so will you and you will be as gorgeous and sexy as you were ." Nora patted her hand. Rachel admitted her fears to Nora about how her husband was always around these girls with perfect bodies and how she felt now.

"I don't think you have a thing to worry about ." Nora confided in her. "I can remember the first time I met you and just how crazy that guy was about you. He was so upset seeing you and that Italian guy, that he got drunk." Rachel looked at her and then the memory came back when she heard Chandler talk about it. This gorgeous woman had actually made out with Ross. "You just need to go through with your treatments and go through with a positive attitude. I got lucky, at that time a lot of women weren't so lucky. Plus you caught it early which gives you a better chance." Rachel looked at Nora and especially at her breasts. Nora noticed her staring and opened her dress. She pulled down her bra and showed her where the breast once was. Now it had been replaced by reconstructive surgery. She took her hand and put it on the breast. "See, just like the real one, only better." She smiled."Trust me, so will the sex."

Chandler opened the door at that point. "And once again , I want to crawl into a hole." He moaned. Rachel got up and ran over to Ross. "Nora and I were having the best talk. She had the same thing happen to her, and she was telling me that I was going to be alright. Plus she said I would get back my looks and that our sex life would get back on track." Rachel said excited.

"Okay Mom, you are finished here. And now , we can leave." Chandler said as his mother as she looked over at Ross. "Always nice to see you." Nora smiled as Chandler drug her away. "Can't you hit on Joey for once?" he said as he closed the door.

"So about this other stuff?" Ross said as he put his arm around her. "Our kids are at my mother's , I have a bottle of sparkling cider on ice and we haven't done anything for a while." He wrapped himself around her neck and began to kiss it. "Do you think that maybe we could try some of it. I happen to know it is very good psychologically to make love to your husband." Rachel remembered what Nora said and looked at Ross and smiled. "Well in my support group, they did say that we should do things that make us feel good." He took her in his arms and then lifted her up. "And trust me, this will be good." Rachel closed her eyes and put her head down on his shoulder. Yes she knew it would be good.
