Authors note: Hey glad you are all enjoying this story..hated for Rach to say no but I couldn't just get then back together without some good old R&R tension…so enjoy the show…
"NO!' said Rachel. "Now this is a public ladies room, so please leave."
"I am not leaving until you tell me why you won't marry me."demanded Ross.
"Rachel , what is the big idea?" Monica said as she stepped into the restroom. "Oh my God what are you doing here?" Monica said as she saw her brother.
"Trying to talk some sense into Rachel." Ross said. "I just proposed to her and she refused me."
"Hold it wait a minute." Monica said. "Proposed? When did you guys start dating?"
"We haven't dated in three years." Ross admitted.
"And you proposed to her?" Monica yelled. "No wonder you have been married and divorced three times. You know nothing about women."
"That's not true." Ross yelled.
"Ross first of all, you guys broke up and you married another woman and then got your third divorce, you haven't dated in three years. Second of all, you don't propose in a ladies room. Hell you shouldn't even be in here. You make a proposal romantic." said Monica.
"And third of all , after you say I love you to someone , you don't go gaga over some blonde bimbo in a tight dress just because she says hello to you." Rachel said.
"He did that?" asked Monica.
Rachel nodded.
"You jerk!" Monica yelled as she hit him in the arm.
"Owwww." screamed Ross weakly.
"For your information Rachel, I let Joey have Mona. She isn't who I want and you know that. I'm sorry for being a jerk. I do love you and I want to do as much as I can for you and our baby."
Rachel hit her head with the palm of her hand.
"Baby?" Monica said..
"You have a big mouth Geller." Rachel replied.
"You guys are gonna have a baby? When did it happen ? Are you back together?" Monica squealed.
"It happened a few weeks ago and no we are not." said Rachel.
"But I want to be." said Ross.
"Wait a minute, why didn't you say anything ?" asked Monica.
"I still remember how upset you got at me the night of you and Chandler's engagement. Reminded me how I stole your thunder by making out with your cousin at your sweet sixteen. Today is your day Mon, and I was not going to take that away from you." said Rachel tearfully.
"Oh Rachel, you are the best friend ever. I am so happy for you and I am going to be an aunt." Monica started to cry.
"Mon, you can know about this, but no one else. We don't know what is going to happen , but I am keeping this baby and we are going to have it together. From that point, we are going to take this one day at a time." Rachel said.
"Are you getting back together?" Monica asked looking at the couple intensely.
"We don't know." answered Rachel.
"Try to think of that little baby inside you. Now I know that you guys have a lot of history and issues, but you have got to put that little baby first." said Monica earnestly.
"Monica we are, I don't want this little baby to know that its parents don't have anything but love for it. And I want this little baby to have a happy life, not one where the parents are yelling and cursing each other. Most importantly, I want this baby to grow up in a home where it sees it's mother and father together and very much in love." Ross said as he put his head down. He couldn't stand to have another child that he only saw on the weekends like his son , Ben.
"I didn't say never, Ross. I just mean that now isn't the time." Rachel said.
"Well if you will excuse me, I have guests to attend to. Guys I love you both , think about what I said. This baby could either make you or break you. It's up to you. Thank you for not ruining mine and Chandler's day."
Monica kissed Rachel on the cheek and then she kissed Ross as well.
"See you guys outside."
"Well what do you think?" asked Rachel.
"I think we need to stop being stupid and give this relationship a second chance. After they leave, we'll tell everyone." Ross said as he put his arms around Rachel.
"Nothing but the best for our baby." she whispered.
