I appreciate all the reviews, especially the 'regulars' haha.

This chapter is pretty much the beginning of the Turning Point…

About a month had passed and Rachel was getting sick of hiding out. It was not the beginning of January. She was seven months pregnant and it was becoming increasingly harder to hide, over the next three months this would only get worse. Monica had been the only one to know about her secret, true to her word she had not told a soul.

She was getting annoyed though and this became more and more apparent to Rachel with each and every passing day. Even though Rachel was her best friend, Monica still had to worry about her brother's best interest and she felt that he had a right to know.

The truth was Rachel planned on telling him one of these days…she just didn't know how.

She was leaving her house early that morning, on her way to her job at Louis Vutton. It had turned out that after she explained her situation to her boss in France, they were able to transfer her over to their New York branch.

Fully aware that at any time she may run into Ross she left the house in an oversized , yet stylish jacket, and Louis Vutton bag, to which if she held at the right angle would cover her bump.

The reason she was leaving so early was so she and Emma could grab some breakfast at the local starbucks, she wouldn't dare step foot in central perk for fear of running into Ross. The two would then be off to Louis Vutton, Rachel was extremely happy about this job, and it was an added bonus that they had an onsite daycare program for working Mothers. The perks of a large company Rachel thought to herself.

Rachel sat inside the coffee shop watching her daughter finish up her muffin, as she was sipping her iced tea she couldn't help but smile. Even though life had not been going her way lately, she couldn't be happier. It was moments like this, when Rachel was able to really notice what a wonderful life she had truly been given. She loved spending time with her daughter.

Moments later a loud flirtatious laugh seemed to fill the shop and Rachel lifted her head from the paper she had been reading. As she brought her attention to the door she saw a blonde woman, seconds later she realized it was Bonnie. She didn't have to wait much longer before she saw Ross come in behind her reaching for her hand.

This made Rachel's stomach turn.

Quickly, she grabbed the coat from the back of her chair and placed it on her lap like a blanket covering up her pregnant belly as best she could. She also, to take an extra precaution, lifted her bag from the seat next to her and placed it in her lap.

The only thing she could do now was hope Ross would not spot them, and that Emma would not notice her father. The two were seated in a corner of the shop, as so Rachel felt pretty safe as she watched Ross and Bonnie walk up to the counter to place their order. She took notice of their body language.

They looked happy.

Bonnie had her arm around his waist, and Ross's hand rested inside of Bonnie's back jean pocket. Rachel felt as if knives were going through her. This was not something she wanted to deal with today, especially with Bonnie around. She realized though, that this situation would only get harder and she didn't want to run anymore.

As the two got their coffee Rachel held the newspaper up to her face, hoping that as they turned around they would not spot she and her child.

"Daddy!" Emma yelled pointing to her father.

Shit.

Still not lifting her head from the paper Rachel sat in silence, hoping that Ross had not heard.

"Emma!?" Ross exclaimed with a feeling of confusion and overwhelming taking over him.

Rachel dropped the paper, there was no use in hiding anymore. She put her face in her hands waiting for the awkward moment to which Ross would come over.

As she lifted her faced she watched the interaction between the three. Ross had already scooped Emma up in his arms and was kissing her on the cheek, a huge smile on his face. Rachel's attention went to Bonnie who was standing there frozen, staring a Rachel, a look of disgust on her face.

It was obvious that she remembered last time. Who would forget the trip to the beach when Rachel convinced Bonnie, who was Ross's girlfriend at the time, to shave her head. The two of the broke up over Rachel, no surprise there, and Rachel had a feeling that Bonnie was just as excited to see her, as she was to see Bonnie and Ross.

She then looked back at Ross who was coming her way with Emma. Usually she would get up and hug him as friends do, but this time she had a secret to keep…at least for now, and remained seated.

"Hey" Rachel said slowly, uneasily as she directed her attention to Ross who was now before her.

Ross didn't know what to say. So many questions ran through his head. Was this really happening? He wondered when she had returned…and why. He also wanted to scream at her over keeping Emma out of his life. He couldn't do that here however, he also had to play cool for Bonnie's sake. He had a good thing going now.

"Rac-" Ross stopped trying to find the right words to say "What are you doing here?"

Rachel looked down to make sure she was still covered "Louis Vutton transferred me back to the city, I just arrived last night" Rachel lied, she wondered if it was as painfully obvious to him as it was to her.

"Well that's great" Bonnie said trying to hid her anger.

Ross was angry. "Why didn't you call me? Why didn't you tell me?!" Ross gestured at Emma "I haven't seen her in six months Rachel…this is just like you. You couldn't at least give me a call to tell me you were returning to the city?" Ross now realized that he was raising his voice bit, but he didn't care. After all this woman had kept his child away from him "You would think youd have grown up by now."

Rachel was angered by this, she couldn't believe he was treating her like such a child "Yeah well…You know what Ross..!" Rachel raised her voice slightly , until she looked at her daughter, and realized that she was in fact wrong. Her face softened and all she could say was "I'm sorry"

Ross was caught off guard by this "We have a lot to talk about" He said gesturing to Emma"

"I know.." Rachel said nodding her head "Call Mon, shes knows where Im staying…" Rachel had now prepared herself for the fact that the truth would be coming out soon…there was no more fighting it.

Ross nodded his head, wondering why his sister didn't tell him Rachel would be arriving in the city. His thoughts were temporarily cut off when he felt soft lips sucking at his neck. He looked down at Bonnie, who smiled pleased to have his attention back.

"Baby I think we better go, or else we're both going to be late for work" Bonnie told him, while reaching for his hand to leave.

It was obvious to Rachel that she was feeling uncomfortable…which pleased her.

"Right, yeah…you're right" Ross replied while nodding his head. Pulling away from Bonnie's grasp he placed Emma back in her seat across from her Mother. He knelt down next to her "Bye Emma, Daddy Loves you okay?"

"Love Daddy!" Emma cried out while clapping her hands.

Ever a crier Rachel began to tear up at the scene in front of her. How could she keep Emma away from this man.

Ross then looked at Rachel "We'll talk later he said in a more serious tone"

All Rachel could do was nod her head. At this, Ross got up and reached for Bonnie's hand as the two left the shop.

Rachel then folded her arms on the table, and rested her head upon them. Her worst nightmare was about to come true.

Please Review . Hopefully Ill have more up tomorrow.
