Okay, I was in a hurry when I wrote down this fanfic. There will be some faults, but who cares :) This fic is a continuation from the last one and Rachel just told Monica that there's something she has to know.
Scene 1:
We are at C& M's. Rachel and Monica are sitting on
the table. Monica looks worried now 'cause she has no idea what Rachel
wants to say.
Monica:(nervous) Okay...what?
Rachel: (stands up and starts pacing round) Can you remember the morning after your wedding?
Monica: Of course I do..but what...(Rachel interrupts her)
Rachel: You were looking after me but didn't find me.
Monica: Yes....
Rachel: (in a slow voice)I...I was with...with a man....(looks down)
Monica: (surprised and disapponited) You what??...at
my wedding? Okay, that means you had sex with a man at my wedding night?..
(silence) How could you....I mean...
Rachel:(sad) I know and I'm sorry (note: I'm sure
she isn't :) )
Monica: (can't believe what she just heard) And
god....you were with a man....and...Ross was with a woman,too...that's
to weird...
and all this at MY Wedding night! (starts yelling at Rachel) I can't believe
you....how could you ...(she's now near tears)
Rachel: I was with Ross.
Monica: (now in shock) ....you..you what?..I mean...
You were with Ross...that means you were the girl? And Ross was the man?...
Oh god, that's too much.
Rachel:Calm down, we just had a bonus night. (we
see her thinking of some scenes of this night, she smiles a bit and
then we are
back at the reality.
Monica: (still a bit in shock) So....you two...are
you back together?
Rachel: No!..no..We just had a bonus night, as I said before. We had sex as Friends ...(looks down)
Monica: I don't get it! You two are not together and ....you want to say me that...
Rachel: That Ross is the father of my baby..(a
tear rolls down her cheek but Monica doesn't notice)
Scene fades out
Scene 2:
J&R's. Chandler and Joey are there watching Baywatch.
Joey: Oh god...just look at that! (points to the TV-Screen)
Chandler: I know man....god...Yasmine Bleeth....damn she's so hot! (silence)
Suddenly Chandler realises something
Chandler: Oh my god Joey !
Joey:(confused) What?
Chandler: Oh my god Joey!
Joey: I know, I'm god...(smiles)
Chandler: I can't do that anymore! It's over..
Joey: Hey man, what are you talking about?
Chandler: This!
Joey: Oh...cool (doesn't get it)
Chandler: I mean...hey...I'm married now and watching Yasmine Bleeth is like cheating on Monica!
Joey:(shakes his head) Gosh...what a lot of crap! You do not cheating on Monica!
Chandler: I know silly! But you know...I'm married now and I love my wife..I do love Monica soo much.
Joey: ...and?
Chandler: I don't have to watch this anymore.
Joey: Babewatch??
Chandler: Yeah...(a bit unsure) I can live without it.
Joey: (smiles) Bet not?
Chandler: You better not bet with me.
Joey: Oh c'mon, let's bet!
Chandler: You're a looser!
Joey: I bet 50 bucks! You can't live without Babewatch till Ross is back.
Chandler: I so can! I'm on.
They both shake hands and then scene fades out
Scene 3:
We cut to Ross. He's in a huge restaurant and with him
a very good looking woman (played by Cameron Diaz)
Ross: Jennifer? (she looks around and doesn't pay attention) Jennifer?
Jennifer: Wow, it's amazing here (looks around again)
Ross: You like it?
Jennifer: Oh, I love it! (smiles at him)
Ross: That's good.(smiles back) Shall we order?
Jennifer: Of course.
We can se them both order and then talking a lot.
Ross: ...and then she proposed to him!
Jennifer: Really? Oh that's so cool.
Ross: Yeah, it was.
Jennifer: I love weddings!
Ross: Yes me too (laughs)
Jennifer: (doesn't get it) Why are you laughing?
Ross: Oh...nothing (silence) You know, my sister
Monica married a few weeks ago. It was amazing...(you can see that his
is thinking of
something else)
Jennifer: Really? My little sister Rachel married,
too! (As he hears the name Rachel he looks a bit sad but then smiles) You
know, Rachel
and her husband Mark are sooo cute together (Ross now looks really uncomfortable
by hearing those names, so he trys to change
the subject)
Ross: Did I already mentioned how great you look
tonight?
Jennifer: Yes you did, but I don't care to hear that twice (smiles sweetly at him) By the way, you look really nice, too!
Ross: Oh, thanks. (smiles back)
Jennifer: Oh look, dinnertime! (a waiter comes with two plates and puts them on the table)
A song starts playing (you can choose one) and we can't
hear anything. But we see them both eating dinnerand after that they are
talking and laughing a lot. Then we see them on the dance-floor dancing
and you can say that they really enjoy the evening.
Camera fades out.
~Cut to Ross apartment (in Vancouver) later the evening. Ross and Jennifer enter both laughing.~
Ross: Ahh, that was so funny
Jennifer: Yeah it was. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun with a man (smiles at him ) Maybe we can do that again ?
Ross: Sure! (smiles back)
Jennifer: What about tomorrow evening?
Ross: Okay. Hey, want a drink?
Jennifer: No thanks...(looks at him and says then in a sexy voice) I want you (points with her finger on him and then goes over to him)
Ross is confused and doesn't know what to say. She then kisses him and slowly begins to unbutton his shirt. First he's a bit shocked but then gets really into it and they share a really passionate kiss (nothing compares to the kisses between R&R :) ) It gets pretty wild (if you know what I mean) but then Ross suddenly stops and pulls her away.
Ross: Jennifer...(he's confused and so sounds his
voice) you're a beautiful and really great woman...and..(Jennifer interrupts
him by kiss him passionately but then Ross again pulls her away)
Ross: No! Stop this...I ... I can't
Jennifer: (doesn't want to stop) Why..(looks at him in a very sexy way)
Ross: (now with a strong voice) Please go!
Jennifer: But...
Ross: Go! Please... (he opens the door and she leaves disappointed)
Ross then goes to the couch not believing what he just
did. He sits down and his head is in his hands.
Ross thinking: Oh my god...what have I done? I
can't believe I did that...
Bryan Adams "Please forgive me" starts playing and during the song we can see some clips...
Still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss
It's gettin' better baby
No one can better this
Still holdin' on, you're still the one
First time our eyes met - same feelin' I get
Only feels much stronger - wanna love ya longer
You still turn the fire on...
So if you're feelin' lonely don't - you're the only
one I ever want
I only wanna make it good - so if I love ya a little
more than I should
First clip:
We are at R&J's and Rachel and Joey are having breakfast
and they're talking when Rachel suddenly runs to the toillet. Joey just
rools his eyes. Then Rachel comes back, a bit pale but smiles and touches
softly her belly with her hands.
Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me - this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do
Please believe me - every word I say is true
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you
Second clip:
Ross' apartment. He's sitting on the couch watching TV
but doesn't look very interested. He then stands up and starts pacing around.
After a while he takes the phone, dials a number and then begins to talk.
Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch - still gettin' closer
baby
Can't get close enough
Still holdin' on - still number one
I remember the smell of your skin - I remember everything
I remember all your moves - I remember you yeah
I remember the nights - ya know I still do
So if you're feelin' lonely don't - you're the only
one I ever want
I only wanna make it good - so if I love ya a little
more than I should
Third clip:
Rachels office. She's really stressed and her desk is
a mess 'cause there are letters and papers everywhere. We can see her on
the phone looking angry and then suddenly hangs up the phone. She starts
yelling and then takes all the papers from the desk and throws them away.
She then begins to cry and runs out of the office.
Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do
Oh believe me - every word I say is true
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you
One thing I'm sure of - is the way we make love
And one thing I depend on - is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm prayin'
That's why I'm sayin'
Last clip:
Ross' apartment. It's late in the evening and he's in
his pyjama when he walks off the bathroom. We follow him in his bedroom.
There he slowly lays on his bed, opens a drawer and takes off a picture.
He smiles a bit and then lays it back into the drawer, closes it and then
switchs off the light.
Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do
Babe believe me - every word I say is true
Please forgive me - if I can't stop lovin' you
Never leave me - I don't know what I'd do
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you
Can't stop lovin' you
Scene 4:
2 weeks later. Everything is still the same. Ross is
now in Vancouver for a bit more than 5 weeks. Rachel has to live with her
morning sickness. Today they are all except Ross at C&M's for lunch.
They are all sitting in the living room when the phone starts ringing.
Rachel and Monica goes up. Rachel runs to the toilett and Monica takes
the phone.
Monica: Yes? (pause) oh hi Ross! (surprised and smiles)
Ross: Hey little sister. How's everybody?
Monica: Oh...well...we're all fine...I think (looks to the toilett and smiles a bit)
Ross: That's great. That's ....really...great (he doesn't know what to say)
Monica: Yeah, it is. How are you?
Ross: I'm fine, thanks. (pause) Any news I should know? (Rachel returns from the bathroom)
Monica: No, there's...there's nothing.
Rachel (to Monica): So, who is it?
Monica: It's Ross.
Rachel looks down. Awkward silence.
Ross: So...Rachel is there?
Monica: Yeah...uhmm...wait a sec. (to Rachel) Rachel, please (she points to the phone)
Rachel slowely takes the phone. She's now really nervous
and doesn't know what to say.
Rachel: Ross?
Ross: (with a happy voice) Yes..hi! How're you doing?
Rachel: Great.....you?
Ross: Me too!
Rachel: How's work?
Ross: Oh well, ....pretty interesting
Rachel: That's good, I..think (silence)
Ross: Yeah..
Rachel: And how's Vancouver?
Ross: Great! Really great city. Listen Rach..I'm sorry but I have to go.
Rachel: Okay then....
Ross: Bye
Rachel:(almost whispering) Yeah..bye
We are with Rachel. She's holding the phone by her heart taking a deep breath. She then turns around and walks out of the apartment. Everybody's looking after her. They're all a bit confused except for Monica. She's the only one who knows what's going on.
The hall. Rachel leans against the wall and slowly slides down and begins to cry. We then cut to Ross. He stands by the window with the phone in his hands and the eyes closed. Then he slowly opens them and tears rolling down his cheeks.
Ross (whispering): Rach...oh god why is this so
hard...I miss you so....
Scene fades out.
Scene 5:
It's the day of Ross' return from Vancouver. We're at
C&M's. It's sometime in the afternoon. Rachel and Monica are
in the livingroom. Rachel's sitting beside the window looking away and
Monica's on a chair beside her.
Moncia: Today's the day, sweetie! (takes her hand)
Rachel: (doesn't look very happy)...I know.
Monica: Rach, when will you tell him about the baby?
Rachel: Oh god...I've no idea how I will do this. It really scares me, you know. What if he doesn't want the baby? It's now too late!
Monica: Hey calm down. You know Ross. He's a great father and he'll do everything for this baby, thought you aren't together.
Outside the apartment. Ross is coming up the stairs whit his luggage and wants to open the door as he hears Rachel talking. He just stands outside the door and listens.
Rachel: Yeah, you're right....but you know...it's so hard.
Monica: Why? What's the problem?
Rachel: In these 8 weeks I realised that....that I still love him.
Monica: But that's great! What are you worring about?
Rachel: I dunno. What if he doesn't feel the same?
What if he doesn't have any feelings for me anymore? What if he's over
me? Or what if he has already a new girlfriend?
Monica: I don't think so, but....anyway. You have
to tell him!
Rachel: (begins to cry softly) God Monica. I miss him so...I missed him every single day in this two months. It hurted so much...those days without him. You can't imagine how hard it was...(crying harder) He's such a great man, I can't believe I let him go! It breaks my heart when we're in the same room but I can't touch him, kiss him or say how much I love him....I can't live without him...
Cut to Ross. He's also in tears but has his eyes closed
Rachel: (a bit calmer now but still crying) You know, our bonus night...
Monica: (touched by that what Rachel said before) Uhm..yeah?
Rachel: It was so...so real. When we were together,
every single night we spent together was special..but this night..was one
of the best..
the way he touched me, kissed me or even looked at me...God,
I was in heaven...it was like when we were together...
Monica: God, I didn't know that. But you have to tell him your feelings. Maybe he does feel the same way, too!
Ross outside: (whispering) I do....I do
Monica: I mean...you two could be together again? Rach, try it!
Rachel: Mon, you have no idea....when we broke off, it was so hard to get over him...and you see, I didn't managed it ...I suffered so much, and he suffered, too. It's now 4 years and it still hurts. I don't want to go through that again...
Cut to Ross. He stands there heartbroken and with tears
rolling down his cheek. Then he slowly turns around and goes....
Scene fades out.
