There has been an overwhelming amount of Joey and Rachel stories and I'm not liking that too much :P
My story is all about RnR!!
It is the continuation of TOW Home Study with Ross, Rachel and Emma at the park. Just so you know, everything that happens after this episode in the show does not exist in my story so there is no Paris or anything like that. I'm sure I'll have the birth of the twins somewhere in here but there will be no moving to the suburbs
Enjoy!

"ROSS!" she screamed when she saw him hit the ground after knocking him over as she was swinging on the playground swing.
She saw him fall on his side and yelp in pain when his body hit the hard concrete. Once on the ground he continued to squirm, frantically running his hands all over his body, still afraid the spider was somewhere crawling on him. Rachel tried stopping her swing so she can try and help him but the swing started to twist and turn uncontrollably. This movement terrified her and she wasnt able to stop.
"Ross, help me!"
Ross lifted his head from the ground to see Rachel twisting every which way and her legs kicking in all directions. The fear in her eyes made him vacat his position on the floor and go over to her, completely forgetting about the spider that probably fled the scene several minutes ago. Stopping the swing from behind, she immediately jumped off.
"evil! evil!" she yelled pointing at the swing.
"Rach, your fine." he said, walking over to her and then placing both hands on her shoulders "Your hair didnt get tangled in the chain, did it?" he asked trying to hold in his laughter.
"That's it Ross! I'm never going on one of those things again."
"Dont be silly. You were doing so great," he encourged her, taking the place beside her.
"That thing almost tried to kill me."
"Stop it. It is an inanimate object. It did not try to kill you."
She was having none of it and simply rolled her eyes at him
"Just give it one more try."
"how about you go hold that spider over there" she said pointing at him
"WHERE?!" he yepled like a little girl, turning in circles to see if one was near him
"see, you still are afraid of spiders and I'm still afraid of that," she said referring to the swing.
This was ridiculous. He couldnt believe how silly she was acting over a childs play thing. Sure, he thought, some may think his fear of spiders was stupid, but the thing he fears could actually kill. KILL! Just thinking about it made him shake in fear but her fear was so irrational and he felt she needed to get over it.
Luckily he knew just how to do that.
"Come on, we're leaving" she demanded as she started packing up Emma's belongings.
Ross walked towards his newly one year old daughter who was sitting contently in her carriage watching her mother and father with admiring eyes.
"Awww, Emma. You dont want to leave yet, do you?" he asked shaking his head side to side.
Emma repeated her fathers actions and shook her head side to side.
"Stay," she said in her adorable baby voice before sticking a goldfish cracker in her mouth.
"Do you want to swing with mommy on the swings?" he asked again shaking his head but this time up and down. Emma started clapping her hands and looked at Rachel with her big blue eyes identical to her mothers.
"mommy, sings!!"
"I cant believe your doing this," she said under her breath but loud enough for Ross to hear
"how can you say no to that face."
Emma was giggling, reaching her hands out in front of her when she saw her mommy coming closer to her
"I cant and you know it."
She lifted Emma out of her carriage, cradling her in her arms.
"Come on baby, mommy will go with you on the swings," she whispered kissing Emma on her baby fine hair.
Rachel walked slowly to the swings, taking a seat on one of them and placing Emma securely on her lap. With one hand wrapped tightly around Emma and the other firmly holding onto the swings chain she began swinging back and forth. The second Rachel heard Emma laughing all of Rachel's fears dissappeared. She began to swing a bit faster, but not that fast since Emma was on her lap. Ross was just looking at the two of them sharing this special moment. He watched as Rachel's eyes never left Emma and she too started to laugh like she was alittle girl once again. Ross searched for the camera in the diaper bag and once it was found he grabbed it and began snapping away. Rachel continued to laugh with her daughter, kissing the back of her baby's head lovingly.
"Emma, look at daddy."
At the sound of her fathers voice, she looked in his direction and smiled. Rachel too smiled creating the perfect mother-daughter picture. After a few more minutes Rachel slowed down the swing with ease and lifted Emma from her lap
"go get daddy, Em."
Soon the toddler came waddling towards her father with much speed and Ross scooped her up in his arms.
"was that fun princess?"
She just nodded her head while nuzzling her head in his chest and began sucking her thumb
"it looks like someone's is getting sleepy," Rachel said, rubbing Emma's back up and down.
"let's head back."
Rachel agreed and noticed Emma had already fallen asleep in her daddy's loving arms. Ross bent over to put Emma in the stroller, strapping her in safely but when he got back up a shooting pain came to his side
"ahh" he said gripping his side
"are you okay Ross?"
"yeah, I guess I pulled a muscle when I fell from you brutely kicking me to the ground"
"haha, very funny," she said poking him in the side
"owww"
"oh my god. Im sorry. I thought you were teasing me. Are you okay?"
"yeah, I was only kidding," he said giving her a goofy smile
"jerk" she said laughing and shoving him to the side.
"hey, is that any way to speak to the father of your child."
"you deserved it" she said smiling at him. Adjusting the diaper bag on her shoulder she was finally all set to go.
"Let's go"
Ross grabbed the handle to the stroller in his hands and began pushing it with Rachel walking right next to him.
"I took some great pictures of you and Emma on the swings."
"yeah?"
"yeah"
She looked down and started smiling. Ross couldnt help but smile at her when he saw how happy she was.
He was so proud of her.
They walked in silence for a few minutes when he suddenly felt Rachel's hand on top of his.
"Thank you"
She spoke it so softly and was so sincere, it warmed Ross' heart the moment it left her lips. He looked down at her with a smile on his face
"your welcome."
