Joey needed to talk to someone. He was scared. He wasn't sure why, but he knew it had something to do with everyone havin babies. He didn't know who to talk to. He had always had a kind of connection with Phoebe, but she wouldn't be home yet. He decided in the end to call Ross. He picked up the phone and dialed the number and waited. "Hi you've reached Ross, Rachel, and Emma. Leave a message and we'll get back to you as soon as we can." Joey hung up the phone. "Damnit!" He was at a loss of what to do. He just sat on the couch with the chick and the duck. "Hey guys."

Ross, Rachel, Emma, and Ben got back to their apartment after a night of window shopping at the plaza, Rachel's second favorite activity. Her first favorite activity would have to be actually shopping. Ross saw that there were no messages, but since Rachel made him get caller id when she moved in with him, he saw that Joey had called. "Hey Ross I'm going to go put Emma to bed."

"Can I come?" Ben asked. "Sure." Ross picked up the phone and dialed Joey's house. "Hello?"

"Joey, it's Ross."

"Oh, hey dude."

"What's up?"

"Can you come over?"

"Well I have Ben here, but I can ask Rachel if she will be okay watching him."

"Thanks man." Joey hung up the phone. Ross walked into Emma's room after hanging up the phone to ask Rachel to watch Ben. "Say goodnight Emma."
"Night Mommy. Night Ben" Ross stood at the door smiling. He thought that was cute. Rachel and Ben walked out and Ross turned off the light and shut the door. "Hey Rach, would you be okay watching Ben for I don't know, maybe an hour or two?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Joey wanted me to come over for something. He sounded pretty upset on the phone. Ben is that okay with you?"

"Yeah I like Aunt Rachel." Rachel smiled. "Aw thanks Ben." Ross hugged his son and kissed Rachel goodbye and starting walking to Joey's house.

About five minutes after Ross left his apartment, Monica nearly busted the door in trying to come through. Rachel screamed, "Oh my God! Monica! You scared me! What is it?!" Monica was almost crying. She seemed like she was happy. Rachel didn't know what it could possibly be. "Rachel, guess what?"

"Chandler finally learned how to make the bed your way?"

"No."

"Um, Jack and Erica said 'Mommy'?"

"Rach they are one year old they can already say that."

"Oh that's right. Um…"

"I'm pregnant!" Rachel put her hand to her mouth in disbelief. "No wayyy." She prolonged the "way". "Yes!" Now Monica had started to tear because she was so happy. "Oh honey that's so great! Wow everyone is having babies."

"I know!"

"Cool does that mean I'm gonna have another cousin?"

"Yes it does Ben, but this one will be your blood cousin."

"Cool!" Ben loved not being the only child around. Even though it did seem like that because the closest children to his age were the triplets, and even those were his cousins, but they were three years younger. "I'm so happy! I have three kids! It's perfect!"

"I know, I'm happy for you. Does Chandler know?"

"Yes, I just need to tell Phoebe Ross and Joey."

"Well we would go with you, but Emma's asleep."

"It's fine. Where's Ross?"

"He's at Joey's. He wanted him for something."

"Well kill two birds with one stone I guess that's my first stop."

"Let me know if anything new happens."

"You bet." Monica walked out the door and skipped down the hallway. Rachel laughed. "This is so great." She looked at Ben. "So what do you wanna do Ben?"

"Can I watch TV?"

"Yeah. What are you gonna watch?"

"I don't know yet."

"Okay well I'll watch with you." Rachel sat down next to Ben on the couch and he turned on the TV.

Ross knocked on the door at Joey's apartment. "Hey Ross." Joey said as he opened the door. "You want some pizza?" He pointed to the box. "No thanks."

"Great." Joey grabbed the last piece and scarfed it down before sitting down on his chair. "Look man, I been doin some thinking."

"Oh no." Ross joked. Joey just looked at him. "Now's not the time, I can take a hint." Ross opened a beer and handed it to Joey. "What's wrong Joe?"

"Ross, I'm thirty-five years old."

"What a shocking discovery." Ross smiled to himself.

"Still not the time dude."

"Oh gotcha." Ross leaned in closer to Joey to show he was listening carefully. "As I was saying, I'm thirty-five Ross. Phoebe is married, you and Rachel are about to be married, Chandler and Monica are married, and I have never been in a serious relationship. I only had deep feelings for well, Rachel. But we didn't go out long and then they went away. I'm kinda scared man. What if I never find a family?" Ross looked surprised. "Wow Joey. You're ready to settle down. You don't realize that until you are. Now that you have realized that, it will become much easier."

"Really?"

"Yeah. You have nothing to worry about man." Joey had a look of relief on his face. "That's great. Thanks Ross."

"No problem. Anything else?"

"No, but you wanna watch the game?"

"I would, but I should get back. I know Rachel is good with Ben, but I just don't want her to have her hands full in case Emma wakes up."

"Okay I'll see you tomorrow at the coffeehouse." Ross walked toward the door and was about to open it to leave when it came flying open and hit him. He fell backwards, similar to what happened eleven years earlier in The One With The East German Laundry Detergent, when he hit his head on the dryer. He blinked twice to regain his vision. It was Monica. "I'M PREGNANT!" She shouted. Joey jumped up. "What?!"

"I'm pregnant!"

"That's so great Mon!" Ross said as he gave his little sister a hug. Joey hugged her next. "Yeah it's great, but how is it possible?" Monica told them how and then ran out the door after saying goodbye to go tell Phoebe. "Dude this is what I mean. Everyone's lives are moving forward except for mine."

"Joey look, I told you you have nothing to worry about. It will happen. The right woman is just around the corner."

"Easy for you to say, you already have yours."

"Yeah, but look at all the crap I went through to find her." Joey let out a small smile. "Well that's true."

Monica knocked on the door to tell Phoebe. It took her awhile but she finally opened the door. "Monica, I'm kinda in the middle of something. Can this wait?" Monica knew what she was talking about, but she just couldn't hold back. "I'm pregnant!" Phoebe's mouth dropped open in amazement. "You're what?"
"That's right, I'm pregnant!"

"Well Oh my God! Monica we have to celebrate!"

"But what about…"
"Oh Mike? Psh he can wait." Phoebe grabbed her coat and her and Monica went down to the coffeehouse.

"This is celebrating?" Monica asked. "We are in the coffeehouse we are always in. How is this celebrating?"

"Well what are we supposed to do for celebrating? Go out for drinks?" Then Monica realized that they couldn't drink because they were pregnant. "Oh. I totally forgot. So what do we have then?" Phoebe yelled across the room. "Yo Gunther, get us some decaf coffees over here please!"
