The New Beginning - The Story of Ross and Rachel

The One Where They Go To Vermont

Writer's Note
I decided to write a chapter about Ross, Rachel, and Emma as a family, because I really think we don't get enough interaction between the three of them from the show. Enjoy :)

The day after, Ross and Rachel both went to work. Maybe for the first time in years, Ross was feeling reluctant to go to work. He cannot stop thinking about the fight he had with Joey the other night. Part of him regretted it, but part of him felt a sense of relieved for letting out things that have burdened in his chest for weeks.

For the entire day Ross couldn’t keep his focus on his works, his students would sometimes caught him staring blankly throughout the class. He was finally relieved when he finally able to go home and see his wife and kid, the two person he needed most today. Ross arrived at their apartment that evening and immediately saw Rachel was playing with Emma in the living room.

“Hi .....” Ross said his infamous greeting in the most sad version ever

“You too, huh?” Rachel stood up and gave him a hug

“Yeah...” he hugged her back

“So, what did they call you?” Rachel asked curiously 

“What do you mean?” Ross asked

“I mean, I heard they call me a horny bitch at work. I thought that is why you’re sad.” Rachel said, slightly puzzled by him

“Oh, that. Yeah, I’m not really listening to them, but I’m pretty sure one of them call me pathetic.” He explained 

“Really? But you’re not pathetic.” She said trying to cheer him up

“Yeah, and you’re not a horny bitch.” Ross said and they were both slightly chuckled.

They both then sat on the couch, cuddling 

“I knew it, I shouldn’t brag about Joey in front of my coworkers. I mean I was proud having a famous friend, but I guess that’s all just came back and bite me in the face.” She sighed 

“I know right, I wish I wasn’t bragging either.” He said

“Uhm, Rach?”

“Yeah?”

“Do you want to go to Vermont this weekend? Just the three of us, with Emma.” He asked as he brushed her hair lovingly 

“Yeah, that will be great. We could use some fun.These things have bumped us out for the past few days.” Rachel replied

“Okay, perfect.” He kissed her on her lips

“Thank you. This will be the nice thing to look forward for the entire week. It’s been a one hell of a day. I swear I was staring at the clock the entire time, begging it to go faster.” She explained 

“Well, that make the two of us. I’m pretty sure, some of my students secretly left the class while I was looking at the clock intensely.” He chuckled 

“Aww.. come here honey, I’ll make you feel better.” Rachel placed his head on her chest and gently rubbed his hair.

“Thank you.” He whispered.

The long awaited weekend is finally here. Both Rachel and Ross were having the hardest week of their job. Their coworkers are gossiping behind their back for the entire week. They couldn’t wait to finally spend time with their daughter, Emma. Just the three of them in the place where probably no one recognize them. After a long drive, they finally made it to their ski resort, in Vermont. The whole place were covered in snow, and it was so beautiful.
