Rachel stretched as she looked around the bedroom. It had been quite a while since she had been there, at least three years. Same old striped sheets, she thought.

Looking around she noticed the pictures on the dresser. There was a picture of the gang, pictures of Ben, and one that was rather old. It was taken the night of the museum benefit. She laughed as she remembered the night that Ross was going to drink the fat. Her hair was down and she wore a light green dress. Ross had the largest grin on his face in the picture. It was either because of his speech or the little thing she whispered when they left.

"Oh by the way I'm going commando too."

Rachel noticed that the other side of the bed was empty. She threw one of Ross' shirts over her self and walked out to the kitchen. Ross was busily preparing breakfast.

"Ross you didn't have to do this. I would have been happy with just coffee." Rachel said .

"No you are carrying our child. You need a good breakfast and you need to be spoiled." Ross sweetly said.

"A girl could get used to this." she said.

"That's what I am counting on." he said. "Breakfast is ready." he said as he carried the tray into the bedroom. "Please let me wait on you ."

"Okay." Rachel said resigned.

Ross crawled back into the bed. Lovingly he poured the juice into the glass. "Should be hearing from Chan and Mon today." he said trying to make conversation.

"These eggs are delicious. This reminds me of when you used to make breakfast for me over here." Rachel said.

"It could be like that again." Ross said.

"Ross no pressure , remember. Just because I spent the night, doesn't mean we are ready to move ahead." Rachel reminded him.

"Sorry , I just woke up this morning and saw you laying there, and then I remembered how beautiful you look when you sleep. I really missed that."

"But didn't you have that with Emily?" Rachel asked, then ashamed to bring up this part of their history.

"The funny thing about Emily, she just was never as beautiful as you were. I guess all I needed to see was you in that church to realize that I still had feelings for you." Ross said. "That's why I guess I said your name."

Rachel just sat still when she realized this. "Ross, I'm scared."

"I told you I would be with you all the way." he assured her.

"No I 'm scared of us. I want to with all my heart go back to the way things were. I want to know that what we are feeling is real." Rachel said.

"Everything I have ever felt for you is real ." he tenderly said as he put his hand on her back.

"I want to know if we are just doing this for this baby or if we are really meant to be together." Rachel said.

"Rachel , I said a long time ago that it has always been you. I may have been with other girls, but I always knew that we would some day get back together." Ross said as he put his arm around her.

"I am trying, really trying." she said.

"Just relax and let me take care of you. You and our baby." Ross said as he leaned in for a kiss. Rachel's lips touched his and then he gently laid her down on the bed. Rachel let herself be washed in the love that this man had for her.

"With other women, I have had sex., but with you Rachel, it's always making love." Ross said as he continued to nibble at her neck.

Rachel sighed as he moved his mouth up her neck. His hands touched the swollen breasts and he gently moved his fingers across her stomach.

"You see Rachel, our baby wants us to be a family. I can feel his or her little heartbeat . It can tell there is love there. Let in that love Rachel." He took her hand .

"Alright I have been thinking about this." admitted Rachel.

"You have?" said Ross surprised.

"Yes because I remember how you felt left out when Carol was pregnant with Ben. You didn't even get to name him. And you were never there when big things happened like his first step or word. I want to share this, and maybe the best way to do this, is to move in."Rachel said.

"I have no problem with that." he smiled.

"If I move in, I want my own room." Rachel said. "We are after all, not together enough to be sleeping together yet."

"Fair enough. May I kiss my new roommate?' Ross said as he kissed her.

"We'll wait until they get back, then we'll spring this all on them." Rachel said as she got up from the bed.

Ross looked at her. It would only be a matter of time, before she would be back in his life.
