YES.
"Yes," Rachel whispered, as she let her tears fall freely down her face. She had waited an eternity to hear him say those words. It had gotten to a point where she thought he would never ask.
"Yes, Ross Geller, I will marry you," Rachel sobbed.
It felt extremely beautiful to say those words out loud. Ross grasped Rachel's face in his hands, pressing his lips against hers. Theirs was a kiss so hot, so deep, so passionate, neither wanted to ever come up for air. It was their first kiss as fiancés. Ross rested his forehead against Rachel's forehead, tears of joy coursing down his cheeks. When the pair broke away, both looked utterly blown away by how hot that kiss was. It had been so long since they had kissed in such a passionate way. They had been so focused on Emma's tragedy, physical affections hadn't crossed their minds in so long.
Resting his hand on Rachel's cheek, Ross said, "I'm sorry I didn't get you a ring, but we'll get you one the minute we get out of here."
Rachel closed her eyes, absorbing those beautiful words, get out of here. Oh, how long they had all been dreaming of leaving this horrible place. She wanted so badly for her daughter to be out in the open again, to see the trees, the grass, the blue sky, instead of being trapped within four white-washed walls, a prisoner to a hospital bed.
Rachel stretched her arm over her bed, reaching into Emma's. She stroked Emma's soft blonde hair. She felt Emma stir underneath her hand.
Rachel grinned from ear to ear, "Ross, she's waking up!" Ross leaned into Emma's bed and took her tiny hands in his.
"C'mon sweetie, you can do it," he whispered encouragingly.
Emma moved slightly, stretching her arms and legs. A drowsy groan escaped her lips. Her beautiful blue eyes slowly fluttered open. My God, how much she looked like Rachel. Warm peachy skin, healthy rosy cheeks, just gorgeous. Ross pressed Emma's little hand against his lips, planting kisses all over it.
"Thank you for waking up, sweetheart," he whispered gratefully, tears spilling down his cheeks. Rachel sobbed with joy and relief. The worst was over. Emma had a new liver; she was on her way towards recovery.
"Mummy, why are you crying?" a little voice asked.
"Oh because I'm so happy you're okay, sweetheart! Soon we'll be able to go home, Em! Isn't that wonderful? We can finally leave this hospital!" Upon hearing this, Emma felt an overwhelming rush of emotions. She was leaving his cold white place. She had waited so long.
"Oh goody!" Emma said, her eyes filling up with tears.
"Oh no, mummy's so sorry for making you cry too, sweety!"
"That's okay, mummy! I'm just happy!" the little girl sobbed.
Ross's heart swelled with joy, seeing his two angels crying with happiness. Ross stretched his arms across both hospital beds, cuddling his two girls. For the first time in months, the family of three wept with joy, not with sadness. Dr Montgomery walked through the door to check up on Rachel and Emma, but seeing the family caught in such a private moment, she smiled sympathetically, and walked away to give them a moment to themselves. Ross dabbed Emma's face with a tissue. He put the tissue over her nose and told her to blow. She obliged.
"Guess what Emma?" Worried that her dad was going to tell her this wasn't her last surgery, she looked up at him anxiously.
"Mummy and I are getting married!" Rachel nodded at Emma, beaming. Emma's jaw dropped and she gasped with excited surprise.
"Really?" she asked breathlessly.
"Really!" Emma clapped her hands excitedly, giggling.
"And you are going to be a bridesmaid, Em, a beautiful angelic bridesmaid." Rachel smiled.
"Will I look like a princess, mommy? Like princess Jasmine?"
"Yes, exactly like princess Jasmine." Emma leaned against her pillow and put her hands to her heart, sighing dreamily. "Can I have a big princess dress, mommy?"
"Yes, you can have any dress you want sweetie, you deserve it, you've been such a brave girl!" Ross beamed.
Dr Montgomery walked into the room, "Emma, Mr Geller, Ms Greene!" she greeted warmly.
"It's Mrs Geller, now," Rachel said shyly.
"Dr Momgommy! Mummy and daddy are marrying!" Emma exclaimed at the top of her lungs.
Dr Montgomery grinned widely, "Oh, that's wonderful!" Dr Montgomery took Rachel's hand in hers to look at the ring.
Ross blushed, "I haven't gotten her a ring yet, but that's next on the to-do list."
Dr Montgomery shook her head in admiration, squeezing Ross and Rachel's hands tightly, "you three have been through hell and high water; you deserve all the happiness in the world, congratulations."
