The New Beginning - The Story of Ross and Rachel

The One Where The Gang Reunited

It has been a week since Monica and Chandler moved out to their house in the suburban. Ever since that the gang promised to make time to see each other at least once every two weeks. Today they met at Monica and Chandler's house to celebrate their house warming dinner.

"Hey Rach, are you done? We're going to be late." Ross asked.

"In a minute!", she yelled.

"O-okay take your time", he shuttered.

Ross held Emma in her arms and greeted her.

"Hello honey, we're going to meet your cousin, Erica and Jack. Are you excited?"

"Yayyy" Emma yelled with the biggest smile in her face.

Rachel finally done and she rushed to the living room.

"Okay I'm ready." She said

"Okay let's go. Don't forget the key, Emma's diaper bag, and also the present. I'll drive." Ross said

"But we're already late Ross. Let me drive."

"O-okay, but be careful."

"Geez Ross, We're driving with Emma of course I'll be careful."

They finally arrived at Monica's house miraculously just in time. Ross took Emma from her car seat and held her in his arm. They arrived at the doorstep and rang the bell.

Ding Dong

Joey opened the door, and greeted, "Hey you guys made it!", he said as he hugged both of them.

"Come on in" he continued.

"Well, you sounds like you own the house." Ross joked.

"I do have a room in this house you know..", Joey answered.

As they entered the house they can smell a familiar smell coming out from the kitchen. It is Monica's home cooked food that they haven't had in a while.

"O my god, it's smell so good Mon", Rachel said to Monica who's still busy platting the food.

"Rachel! O my god, I miss you so much..", Monica said and then hugged her.

Rachel then smiled and handed her a present

"Well, this is a little something for your house."

"Aww that's sweet. Thank you guys.. " She continued.

"Where's the twins? I want to see them." Rachel asked

"They're sleeping in their room upstairs." Monica replied

"Ross, I'll take Emma to sleep upstairs with the twins." Rachel said to Ross as she gestured him to move Emma to her arms.

"Okay, I'll be in the dining room with the guys if you need me."

He kissed her and left.

"Mon, can I have warm water for Emma's formula?"

Rachel handed her Emma's bottle.

"Sure"

Monica poured warm water and shook it for her.

"Here you go"

"Thank you Mon"

"So Rach, how is it going between you and my brother?"

"It is going great. We talked about things that bothered us in the past and decided to start fresh." Rachel smiled.

"Well that's good. I'm so happy for you two." Monica replied

"Thank you.. Okay I'll go upstairs to put Emma to sleep and then we'll talk more."

Monica gave her a nodded and Rachel went upstairs.

-----

It has been a week since they gathered and having a meal together. They were enjoying each other company and talking about their days.

"I need to use the rest room" Rachel said as she stood up and left the dining room.

"So Ross, when do you plan to propose to her?", Phoebe asked.

"Well it is only a week after we get back together, don't you guys think it is too soon?" He answered as he looked at all of them.

"Well, technically you guys have love each other for the past seven years, and even have a kid together, I don't think it is too early to finally getting married..." Chandler paused and continued, "for the second time"

"Well I'm with Chandler on this. I mean, don't you want to spend the rest of your life with her?", Monica added.

"Of course I want to. It is all I ever want to do since 9th grade. You all know it.", Ross replied.

"Then.. What are you waiting for? It is unlike you Ross, You love marriage!", Joey joked.

Ross gave Joey a glared and answered, "I just don't want to rush everything and mess this up, you know.."

"I know, but I honestly think if you gonna marry her anyway isn't better to do it sooner? I mean you both now are more mature than before so I don't think that is a problem.", Phoebe said.

"You know what? You are right Pheebs. I don't want to waste another day not marry to Rachel. I'm going to propose to her." Ross said.

They then all cheered and Rachel came back from the bathroom.

"Hey, what are you guys celebrating?", Rachel asked.

"Oh uh, uhmm.. I got an audition in a movie,", Joey replied.

"Aww.. That is good, congratulation Joe.." Rachel said as she hugged him.
