"Hey everybody, look who's here!" Joey grinned as he led his grandmother into Monica's apartment, "You remember my grandmother!"

"Big night!" Rachel cheered as they all waved at nona.

"So, Joey on Law & Order, you must be very proud!" Chandler smiled warmly at her.

"Chandler, she doesn't understand a word of English," Joey reminded him blankly as Veronica helped her take off her coat.

Chandler chuckled sheepishly. "I'm sorry, I thought you were Joey's other grandmother," He paused when Nona just stared at him questioningly, "I've done it again."

"She's my biggest fan," Joey told his friends as he wrapped an arm around her, "Yeah, she's the only one in the family that's believed in me. Si, Nonni? Io sono numero uno, no?"

Nona grinned, patting his stomach proudly. "Big, big star! My big, fat Joey star!"

Joey smiled tightly, clearly embarrassed. "Yeah, I weighed like 27 pounds when I was born so..." He explained reluctantly.

"Good thing you're not pushing out any Tribbiani babies," Rachel chuckled to her best friend.

"How does his mother still love him?" Veronica wondered with furrowed brows, the thought of pushing out a 27-pound baby freaking her out.

"Ronnie!" Nona called as Joey settled her down onto the armchair, she motioned for the girl to sit next to her.

"Coming, Nona," Veronica promised as she grabbed a beer and the tapioca pudding she'd gotten for Nona.

Joey sat on the arm of the chair his Nona was in and pulled Veronica into his lap when she tried to pass by him. She chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her cheek.

Nona smiled fondly at the happy couple and praised them in Italian.

"She loves you," Joey told his girlfriend quietly, "She was talking about giving you her tiramisu recipe. That's the highest honor there is in the Tribbiani family. She still hasn't given it to my aunt and she's been married to my uncle for 20 years now."

Veronica grinned proudly. "So, I'm the best?" She asked cheekily.

"Best of the best," He agreed without hesitation.

"Pizza delivery!" They heard someone call through the door along with a knock.

Ross jumped out of his seat and ran to the door. "I'll get it! I will get that!" He called sternly.

"Man, Ross runs weird," Joey frowned.

"That's because in high school, I told him all the super cool kids kicked their legs out when they ran and that flapping his arms would make him faster," Veronica explained with a chuckle.
