So, one last time enjoy, and PLEASE Review !!

"I think my water just broke" Rachel yelled edging her way out of the bed as she held her stomach.

"hmm" Ross asked in his sleepy state.

"My water Ross!" Rachel yelled aggravated.

Ross jumped out of the bed and threw on his clothes that were on the floor from the previous night. As Rachel quickly shoved clothes and make up into a bag Ross grabbed a pair of sweatpants and a T shirt for Rachel to wear to the hospital. She quickly put them on as Ross finished packing her hospital bag.

"This is two weeks early" Rachel panicked looked at Ross for an answer.

Ross rubbed her back "Don't worry Rach, its perfectly normal."

Rachel looked at him and nodded her head "I guess this is it" she said smiling at him.

"We're having a baby!" he yelled.

Upon arriving at the hospital Rachel, much to her dismay was only dilated 2 cm, she feared that she was in for a long night, just like last time.

Ross entered her room with a glass of water for her and took a seat next to her bed.

"Did you call everyone?" Rachel asked taking a sip of water.

Ross nodded "Yeah, your mom is on her way, Monica, Phoebe, but my parents left this morning on vacation, so I haven't got a hold of them yet…but I left a voicemail. Anyway, They all said theyd be here as soon as possible. " He looked down and smiled at his girlfriend who was propped up in the hospital bed "Need anything ?"

Rachel smiled and let out a noise of frustration "Yeah, for this baby to come out of me!" Rachel paused "Well, at least this time it's a private room"

They both smiled at one another and at the same time uttered the word "…Janice"

Rachel cringed at the memory of Janice going into labor in the same room with her…contacting and everything. She silently hoped that this would go by much faster than the last.

Ross got up from the seat next to her as a nurse called him outside the room to verify their information. Rachel was left alone with her thoughts. She recalled the last time she was placed into this position.

Things were so much different then, she was so lost in her life, so alone…and now…now there was hope for the future. She could finally see herself moving on with life. For a while she had been stuck in a rut in between her past and her future…with no sure way to go.

She was finally, in her eyes, moving into the future. She had high hopes for her relationship with Ross, a wonderful budding family , the best friends that anyone could ever ask for, and a new job. Things couldn't get any better.

She looked down at her stomach, resting her hands upon it. She was enjoying her last moments pregnant. "I'm going to make a wonderful life for you" she said out loud talking to the baby still inside of her. "For you…for me…for Emma" She trailed off.

This was where Rachel wanted to be. She was done being stupid and taking chances in her life. She had everything she could ever want 8 years ago, and she threw it all away from calling that stupid break. Sure, Rachel wasn't exactly to blame for the break up, but she still felt guilty for calling the break. It had taken her years to figure out, but they shared the burden of their tragic break up together.

That's what a couple is, that's what a relationship is…that's what it takes to be in love, realizing that it isn't just you or I, Ross or Rachel…it was the two of them, in it together.

Rachel was brought back to reality with a knock on the door, followed by the appearance of her friend Monica.

"Hey, Sweetie, how are you feeling?" Monica asked coming to her bedside

"Tired, but I mean, I haven't had any contractions yet? I wasn't ready for this today." Rachel stressed to her friend

"Well you know these things happen, and its perfectly normal" Monica said sincerely

Rachel looked at her and laughed "Ohh I know that!" She stressed "But this one really must take after Ross…because I'm NEVER ever early!"

Monica laughed " Oh hey, Chandler says good luck, he couldn't come because of the twins, but um…he wants me to tell 'fatty' good luck."

Rachel just stood her head and laughed with her friend. Monica then looked at her more seriously "I'm so glad youre home again Rachel"

"Me too sweetie"

"Well Rachel, it looks like youre coming along a little bit faster than last time."The nurse asked after examining her.

Rachel, whose head was against Ross's arm sighed " Not fast enough" she said aggravated.

"Well…"said the nurse pausing "I think we'll be ready less than an hour"

"That's great" Ross said squeezing Rachel's shoulder

"..Let's hope so" Rachel replied as the nurse finished her business and left.

"Ross…get him out of me!" Rachel exclaimed

Ross laughed "Sweetie it's going to be okay", he squeezed her hand and brought it up to his lips kissing the top of it, reassuring his love.

"Ughhh" Rachel had forgotten how aggravating waiting for childbirth was. This time though, she knew she wouldn't be alone after. Her mind went back to a time of almost two years ago, when she was giving birth to Emma. Today's Rachel didn't understand how stupid her two year younger counterpart thought that she would be alone in raising her child. She would always have Ross, and she should have known that.

She regretted thinking of marrying Joey, but at that time, she would have married anyone just to feel a sense of security.

In the past year however, Rachel had learned that it was really useless, regrets that is. None of that mattered anymore, her life had taken her to where she wanted to be anyway, and that's all that she could ever have hoped for.

Rachels eyes widened as she let out a yell, shaking Ross from his trance next to her. He immediately jumped to her side and reached for her hand, as the contractions continued, each one growing closer to the last.

"Rachel looked at Ross, knowing the nurse would come soon, she wanted to tell him what she had been thinking about recently "Ross" Rachel spoke the following in between her outbursts of pain "I just want you to know…that there was a time in my life, when I wished I could take everything back. I wanted to take away the pain I felt after we broke up…and so I wished that we had never been together. Threw the years Ive grown to realize, that even if I couldn't be with you…I was so glad to have the memory of being with you." Rachels confession grew more and more choppy by the second " You showed me what love was and I am so glad we are back together, so I could continue to feel it once more. You've given everything worth having in my life, and I will always love you for that."

Ross began to tear up, and bent down to give Rachel a soft loving peck on the lips "Lets go have a baby" he whispered squeezing her hand as the nurse entered to wheel her away.

"Push Rach" Ross said loudly couching his girlfriend through the last steps of the birth.

"We need one final push Rachel, make it a good one" couched Dr. Long, as she got ready to handle the newborn baby.

Rachel, her eyes tearing up from the pain, screamed while she began to push her hardest…nearly breaking Ross's hand while doing so. Ross winced in pain, remembering not to say anything after how mad Rachel got the last time.

A few moments later, a tired yet relieved Rachel collapsed into Ross's arms as a baby's cry filled the room. Ross bent down and sweetly kissed her drenched forehead. She let out a sigh of relief and lifted her head up to look at the man she loved. She smiled at him, her eyes tearing with joy, before leaning up to give him a kiss.

After the nurse had the baby cleaned up she brought him over to the couple "Congratulations…It's a boy" she said with a smile, leaving the room as to give the two some alone time with their newborn.

"Hes so tiny" Rachel said, while viewing the child grab on to Ross's finger, she was overjoyed to be holding her little boy. This baby meant so much. He was a reminder of the time she left, and what brought her back to the love of her life, and all of the obstacles in between.

"He's beautiful Rachel" Ross replied while kissing her on the top of her head, as she cradled the baby in her arms. He really was, Rachel noted, he had a light layer of dark brown hair on his head and big blue eyes. Rachel smiled…even though she had been through this before, she couldn't get over the miracle that was giving birth.

"Ross," she began while glancing up at him " I want it to be like this forever"

"Yeah, I wish this could stay at this age too" Ross said trailing off

"No," Rachel corrected him "Us, this, as a family…I want it to be like this. No more breaks…no going back, I want to finally be a family." She paused, knowing what came next would get to him " I want to give you everything you have ever wanted since you were fifteen years old"

At that the nurse reappeared "So, do you guys have a name?"

Ross looked down at Rachel and nodded his head " Ryan" Rachel paused "Ryan Green Gellar"

Rachel had just settled into her new private room, Ross was seated with her on the bed holding little Ryan. Rachel leaned her head on his sturdy shoulder and took in the moment.

Moments later there was a knock on the door "Come in" Ross yelled. Following this Monica, Phoebe, Mike, and Sandra with Emma piled into the room. Rachel's eyes lit up at the sight of everyone…she didn't even care that her hair was a mess and her makeup washed off…her family was here.

"OHH" Monica exclaimed, being the first to run over to the bed. She reached her hand over to Rachel's and squeezed it "Sweetie, he's beautiful" Monica commented while touching Ryan's cheek with her free hand.

"Whats his name?" Phoebe asked, coming up behind Monica.

"Ryan" responded Rachel

"Hi Ryan, I'm your aunt Monica" Monica said, while taking the baby from Ross.

"Oh! And Phoebe!" Phoebe exclaimed in an excited manner. The Two friends stood next to each other making a fuss over the new baby.

Mike who was still bedside congratulated Rachel and Ross on their new baby.

Following this Mrs. Green made her was over with Emma.

"He's perfect Rachel" Sandra began while holding Emma on her hip, her eyes fixed on Rachel, then to Ross, and finally back to Rachel " I'm really proud of you honey, I don't think I ever truly told you that-"

Rachel cut her off "Mom, you really don't have to do this"

Sandra ignored her and continued " You've come so far in life. In the past 11 years I've watched you blossom into a beautiful woman. You went from having everything handed to you, to having to do everything on your own."

Rachel smiled and looked around the room at her friends, children, and the man she loved "I've had one amazing support group"

Sandra then turned her attention to Ross " And Ross, you have this amazing way or making my daughter feel like shes the most beautiful, most intelligent, and most important woman in the world. I'm really grateful that she has someone like you in her life." She paused "You have so much right now…don't let it all go"

Rachel sat up and hugged her Mother. She took in everything her mother had to say…she really had been so lucky in life.

The whole gang was in the room for about a half an hour before they decided to pack up and leave the new family alone.

Ross was getting more and more nervous by the minute, but thankfully it didnt show seeing as their attention was fixated on the new baby.

"Ryan?" Emma asked seated next to her mother on the bed.

Rachel smiled and nodded her head"Yeah Ems, this is Ryan…youre going to be a big sister now, so you have to help mommy take care of him." Rachel replied…laughing as she fully knew her daughter had no idea what this all meant.

Ross looked at the scene in front of him. Both of his girls were there, looking so happy. Rachel was propped up in the bed, her one arm around Emma who was next to her, and the other holding baby Ryan. He couldn't believe how his life had changed in the fast few months.

Rachel noticed that he had seemed to be in some sort of trance "Whatcha thinking about honey?" She asked cutely.

Ross smiled at her and knelt down next to her bed so he was eye level "..How amazing you are" He responded and then leaned up to give her a peck on her nose.

"I don't think I've ever smiled so much in my life" Rachel admitted.

Ross figured it was now or never, and it may feel seem kind of rushed ..but he had dreamed of this moment his whole life. He thought the ship had sailed years ago when they originally broke up…but now he had a brand new chance, and he wanted to do things right this time.

Ross looked at her and grabbed her hand "Rachel, I love you so much"

"I love you too" she responded

"Good, because I never want to let you go" Ross continued seeing a smile on Rachel's face "You know, over the years we've been apart, and together, and apart…and then together again, and all the while I've been happy because you've been in my life, but never have I been so happy as when we were together. You've given me your heart…and your soul, and I've given you everything I have. You've given me two beautiful children, and are my reason for breathing. I have always loved you, even when we were apart…always. I know that we were meant to be together " Ross smiled, and paused as he wiped a tear from Rachel's eye. He then knelt down on one knee pulling a box out of his pocket, leaving Rachel to gasp and bring her free hand up to her face. " I want to be with you as long as I live. I want to raise these kids together, and I want to grow old together. So…Rachel, will you marry me?"

Rachel's heart nearly skipped a beat, she felt as if she had been waiting for this one moment forever. Now that it was finally here she was at a loss for words. Moments had passed and Rachel had still said nothing.

Ross, ever paranoid asked "Rachel" confused.

Rachel shook out of her thoughts "Of course." She paused crying tears of joy "Of course Ill merry you Ross. Yes!"

Ross jumped up and passionately kissed his new fiancé, never wanting their lips to part.

As they pulled away both said "I love you" at the same time leaving the two to laugh.

Rachel turned to Emma "Mommy and Daddy are getting married sweetie…we're going to be a family" Rachel said excitedly as Emma clapped her hands.

Ross then slipped a ring on her finger, it had been the same ring Joey had proposed with when she gave birth to Emma…but this time it meant more. It was right. He then stood up and half sat on the bed with Rachel and his children. He placed his arm around Rachel and she leaned her head on his chest.

She closed her eyes, it had been a long day, a long beautiful day. Never had she felt so loved, or had been so much in love. Rachel had been in some hard places in her life, but she knew now that it had all been worth it. She wouldn't trade in the past ten years for the world, she had no idea where the next would bring her but she knew, as long as she was with this man, they would be wonderful. She had everything she would ever need. A smile painted itself on Rachel's face as she began to drift off to sleep.

After all of the failed attempts that had plagued her life before, Rachel was finally starting over again…and this time for good.
