Scene:

R&R apartment. Rachel is unpacking her stuff as Ross comes home from work.

Ross: (entering) hey Rach (he takes off his coat and puts his keys on a table)

Rachel: (without looking at him) hi Ross

Ross: how was your day?

Rachel: (now facing him) oh, boring...I unpacked my stuff and yeah... wait....what else did I do? Ah forget it, how was your day?

Ross: don’t ask! (goes into the kitchen and comes out with a soda) you want some, too?

Rachel: no thanks

Ross: okay then, drinks it very fast and then goes back into the kitchen

Rachel: Ross, I wanted to thank you

Ross: (comes out and looks puzzled) for what?

Rachel: Me moving in here

Ross: (smiles) no problem.

Rachel: you know with Joey, it was great and we had a good time but I’m happy to be here now.

Ross: hopefully you don’t get bored here... (smiles a bit)

Rachel: don’t worry, I wont!  pause  you know, Joey, he’s  a good friend and we had a lot of fun together but here with you, it’s different....

Ross: In a good or in a bad way ? (looks a bit worried)

Rachel: actually in a good way. You know, here, I just feel save. Joey comforted me and .... (sights) everything...but yeah well...I don’t think anyone knows me better than you and living with you just gives me the feeling that I don’t have to be afraid of anything. (smiles lovingly at him)

Ross just smiles back at her and then goes to her and slowly takes her hand into his.

Ross: I’m happy you’re here and it means so much to me... (he slowly pulls her into a hug)

Rachel: I’m happy, too.  Silence

Ross: (breaks the hug) you know, I can’t believe I’m going to be a father again. And this time it will be a girl

Rachel: yeah a girl....hm and I’m going to be a mother...

Ross: (hugs her again) ah Rach, you make me so happy! I’m going to have a daughter... a baby girl with you...

Rachel: yeah unbelievable, isn’t it?

Ross: (breaks the hug) why? Why is that unbelievable?

Rachel: (they both sit down on the couch) you know, I always wanted to have children with you but since we aren’t together anymore....

Ross: yeah, the circumstances are a bit different. But still....

Rachel: Ross, do you sometimes think about what would be, if we hadn’t broke up?

Ross: (nods) yeah, I do... you?

Rachel: (looks out of the window, kind of dreaming) by now, I would be pregnant with our third child....we would have got married at our second anniversary...and 9 months later we would have had our first child...but well, things are now a bit different (looks at him) and what’s with you?

Ross: (sighs and looks deeply in her eyes) we would have got married a few months after our first anniversary and our first child would have been born at our second anniversary and by now we would live with three children in a big house in...well, let’s say Scarsdale

Rachel: (smiles but then her smile frowns) wait....wait you said a few months after our FIRST anniversary.....what does that mean?....you didn’t have planned to....(looks deeply into his eyes)

Ross: (looks down) well yes....but let’s talk about something different

Rachel: Ross, were you going to propose?

Ross: (looks now a bit sad) Rach please...

Rachel: (now sad, too) when?

Ross: you don’t want to know...

Rachel: no...no Ross, don’t say that...

Ross: (looks down) at our anniversary in your office

Rachel gets teary eyed and puts her hands on her face. Ross stands up and goes to the kitchen again. He pours him a glas of wine and then comes back. He then stops and just stands behind the couch where Rachel still sits. She doesn’t face him.

Rachel: (takes down her hands ) ...that means if I hadn’t acted like an idiot I’d be married by now? You’d have proposed...?

Ross doesn’t say anything and there’s an awkward silence.

Rachel: (still a bit upset) I know it’s a stupid question but do you still have the ..the ring? (turns around and faces him)

He just looks at her. Then he turns and goes back into the kitchen. Rachel’s calm by now. She stars out of the window not knowing how she should act now. Suddenly Ross stands behind her and she faces him. He hands her a little black box. She takes it carefully, as if it could break in thousend pieces and then opens it slowly. Imagine just the most beautiful ring ever. It’s a silver ring with tree diamonds on it and inside it’s engraved. It’s always been you, Rach -Forever- Rachel looks at it not knowing what to say. There was her engagmend ring but she never will wear it. The day she’d have got the ring was the day they broke up and threw away the best relationship they ever had. She starts to cry soflty while looking at this beautiful ring.

Rachel: Ross.....

He sits down beside her and hugs her tight. They hug for a long time forgetting everything around them.

Ross: Rachel, please stop crying (strokes her hair)

Rachel: (still huging him) I’m so sorry, you don’t know how sorry I am...

Ross: shhh (breaks the hug and takes her face in his hands looking deeply into her eyes) you don’t have to.

Rachel: but you were going to propose and I messed....I messed things up...

Ross: no, be both did...and now stop crying please...

Rachel: (calms down) Ross...pause  I would have said.... yes

They share a R&R moment and there’s an awkward silence.

Ross: (in a slow voice) don’t say that.....we’re hurting each other...

Rachel: no Ross, I want you to know that I would have said yes.

Ross: (sad and now teary eyed, too) Rach, god....(hugs her again)

Scene:

The other day. Monica, Chandler and Phoebe are having breakfast in M&C’s apartment. Rachel comes in, looking horrible. Her eyes are red from crying and her hair’s a mess.

Monica: Oh god Rach, what happend?

Rachel: Monica (starts to cry and hugs her) he....he was going to propose..

Moncia: (looks puzzled) He? Who?

Rachel: (still crying) the day we broke up....

Monica: Rachel, calm down, who was going to propose?

Rachel: Ross, Ross was going to propose ....and....(crys harder and can barely speak) we broke up.

Monica: Rachel please (breaks the hug) calm down....it’s okay....shh

Rachel: (calms down but is still a bit upset) oh god Monica I feel miserable...

Monica: aww, I know how you feel..now tell me, why do you know...?

Rachel: (now calm) we had this talk yesterday and he told me....god Mon he showed me the ring...it is the most beautiful ring I've ever seen

Monica: aaw sweetie, I’m sorry

Rachel: what am I going to do Mon? I want to live with him and we’re going to have our baby in a few weeks and if things are awkward between us now, I couldn’t handle it.

Monica: Things aren’t going to be awkward between you two. You’ll see, everything will be fine..

Rachel: yeah...

Monica: You have to talk to him about that

Rachel: I will, tonight....ah you know, I hate it when things are awkward between Ross and me and now...

Monica: but there’s no reason....I don’t get why, I mean he told you that he then would have proposed and that’s it.

Rachel: I know I just felt horrible. I somehow messed everything...

Monica: Things aren’t going to be awkward unless you two have still feelings for each other. Do you?

Rachel: for Ross? No...I mean his the father of my child but I don’t have feelings for him anymore.

Monica: what about Ross?

Rachel: he’s with Mona.

Monica: Okay, then you don’t have to worry!

Rachel: yeah, I guess...

Scene:

R&R apartment. Rachel comes in and sees Ross lying on the couch sleeping peacfully. She takes a blanket and goes to the couch and covers him looking at him. Then she turns and sees the little black box on the table. Did she have the right to open it again? I have to see it again, it’s so beautiful, she thought. She slowly opens it and looks at the ring touching it softly. She then puts it back and smiles lightly.
 

Time lapses.
 

Ross wakes up and finds himself lying on the couch, covered with a blanket. It’s already dark outside but there’s a noise. He stands up and sees Rachel cooking and doing some stuff in the kitchen. The table’s already set. There are candles on the table and wine.

Ross: ah Rach, what is that for? It looks great!

Rachel: (smiles) good evening!

Ross: sorry....I was so tired and lay down and somehow fell asleep.

Rachel: no problem. Are you hungry? ‘cause dinner’s ready in five minutes

Ross: hungry is just the prename....I’m starving

Rachel: that’s how it’s got to be
 

Time lapses
 

They have finished dinner and are now talking.

Rachel: Ross, about yesterday.,...I hope things aren’t now awkward between us... I mean, I love it here and I know, it’s a few days but I’m having a great time.

Ross: don’t worry Rach, things are still the same. yesterday was just a bit too much emotions...

Rachel: yeah definitely. But Ross, there’s one thing I wanted you to know...about the ring.
Ross looks at her and then down

Rachel: this ring is just  the most beautiful ring I’ve ever seen.

Ross: (smiles a bit and takes her hand) I was sure you’d love it. I saw it and I knew, that’s gonna be my ring for you.

They again share a moment and Rachel then hugs him tight.

Ross: but please, let us talk about something different like our baby

Rachel: (breaks the hug) anytime (smiles)

Ross: still baby Ruth? (chukles)

Rachel: hey, that was your suggestion. Do you have an other idea?

Ross: I have a lot

Rachel: okay, go on ( they are now in the kitchen, doing the washing up)

Ross: (thinks) I already brought them so I guess, we’ll have a baby Ruth

Rachel: I somehow get the feeling that you don’t really like this name

Ross: I do, I did...

Rachel: Ross, c’mon...we should take a name which we both love, don’t you think?

Ross: (serious) Gabriella

Rachel: huh?

Ross: I like Gabriella, Gabriella Ruth Gellar

Rachel: wow, that sounds special....great, I love it!

Ross and Rachel both stand in the kitchen being quiet and just doing the washing up.  Suddenly Rachel stops holding her belly.

Rachel: Ross, now she’s kicking....(he stops to and feels it)

Ross: wow, god Rach, doesn’t that hurt?

Rachel: yes it does, but since it’s our daughter I just love it (smiles and goes on with the washing up)
 

Time lapses
 

Ross is sitting on the couch, having his feet on the table and Rachel has her head in Ross’s lap, lying on the couch. He has one hand on her belly and she has her hands on his. With the other hand he strokes her hair.

Rachel: Ross, I’m scared...

Ross: of what? I’m here (laughs)

Rachel: (laughs, too but then gets serious) no Ross, serious...I’m scared of the pain...It will hurt so much....

Ross: that’s something that goes away but then you have a child for the rest of your life!

Rachel: Will you be there? Holding my hand?

Ross: I sure will...

He smiles and she smiles back. He then softly kisses her forehead. She looks deeply into his eyes and then reaches her hand to his cheek and touches it. Then she pulls herself up and kisses him softly on to his lips and then breaks it looking back into his brown eyes. He then takes her face into his hands and kisses her passionately........
