Summary: This story takes place in about 2005. Ross and Rachel have been going out for about a year and are living together with baby Emma, who is about three years old. No twists, no suspense… just sappy and mushy lobster love dedicated to all those Ross and Rachel supporters!

Nine months later...

"C'mon honey, just one more push. You can do it!" exclaimed Ross, holding onto Rachel's hand tightly.

"I can't! It's too hard! I can't believe you're making me go through this again!" Rachel replied.

"Just one more push, Mrs. Geller. The baby's nearly there," said Dr Long. With this, Rachel pushed with all her might. When a few moments later, Ross and Rachel's second beautiful baby was welcomed into the world. "It's a girl! Congratulations!' exclaimed Dr Long.

"Rach, did you hear that? We have a baby girl!" exclaimed Ross, kissing Rachel on the forehead.

"We do?" inquired Rachel.

"Yeah, we do," replied Ross. He stared at Rachel. Her cheeks were flushed with the colour red, sweat dripped down from her forehead, her hair looked like she had just gotten out of bed and she was trying to catch her breath back from exhaustion. Ross couldn't believe how beautiful she looked.

"Honey, don't look at me like that. I look like crap," said Rachel panting.

"No… you look beautiful. You've just given birth to our second baby daughter. There's nothing more beautiful than that," replied Ross. Rachel felt her eyes start to well up with tears. She tried to reach over to kiss Ross, but she couldn't quite reach, as she didn't have the energy to, so Ross leaned in and placed a soft kiss on Rachel's lips.

"You have a beautiful and healthy baby girl. Congratulations and you did great, Mrs. Geller," said Dr Long, handing their little baby girl to Rachel.

"Ross, look at her... she's so beautiful," said Rachel speaking softly.

"I know. We make gorgeous babies," replied Ross, kissing their baby girl.

"Yeah, we do, don't we?" said Rachel. "She's so tiny... what should we name her?" she continued.

"Well, I like the name Hailey," replied Ross.

"Yeah, she looks like a Hailey to me," said Rachel. "Hi Hailey, I'm your Mommy," continued Rachel, looking down on Hailey. Rachel then looked at Ross, who was looking at her. They gazed deep into each other's eyes before they passionately kissed.

"Hey, can we come in?" asked Monica peering her head through Rachel's hospital room.

"Yeah, sure," replied Ross.

"We've come to meet the newest addition to your family," said Chandler.

"Mommy! Daddy!" exclaimed Emma, running towards Ross and Rachel.

"Hey Princess!" said Ross picking up Emma. "Guess what, Em? You're a big sister now!" continued Ross.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" asked Joey.

"We have a baby girl!" Rachel answered smiling.

"I'm holding her first!" exclaimed Monica as Rachel handed Hailey to her. "Hi sweetie, I'm your Aunt Monica. Aren't you just the cutest thing,"

"Hey, I thought I was the cutest thing to you!" exclaimed Chandler. Monica just looked at him.

"Okay, it's my turn to hold her," said Phoebe as Monica handed Hailey to her. "What's her name?" she asked.

"Hailey. Everyone, meet Hailey," replied Ross.

"Her name is Hailey? She clearly looks like a Phoebe," said Phoebe.

"Well, she looks like a Hailey to Rachel and I," replied Ross.

"No way, and what kind of name is Hailey, anyway?" questioned Phoebe.

"Pheebs honey, we aren't naming our child after you," said Rachel.

"Fine then, be that way! Mike and I just won't name our future children Ross or Rachel. Those are sucky names, anyway!" exclaimed Phoebe.

"Hey everyone, I've just come to see how you and your baby are doing, Rachel," said Isobel walking in.

"We're doing great thanks," replied Rachel.

"Hey, why don't you stay here with us for a while?" said Joey to Isobel.

"Yeah, we'd love for you to stay," said Ross.

"I'd love to as well, but my schedule is busy today. Anyway, congratulations on the baby and I'll see you later," said Isobel. She gave Joey a peck on the cheek and then walked out.

"Mommy, can I hold the baby?" asked Emma, who was sitting on Ross's lap.

"Sure sweetie, but be careful, okay?" replied Rachel, handing Hailey to Emma.

"I promise," said Emma. "Baby's so small," she continued.

"I know, this is your little sister, Hailey. Can you say hi to your sister?" said Ross.

"Hi," said Emma, looking down on her baby sister. "I'm a big girl now,"

"Yep, that's right, sweetie. You're a big girl now," replied Ross kissing Emma on the cheek.

"Ahh!" exclaimed Chandler.

"What's the matter, sweetie? Daniel doesn't smell of poop again, does he?" asked Monica.

"No, I just had a flashback of when my dad called me big girl for the first time," answered Chandler.

(Time lapse - the gang have left)
"Wow, I never thought I'd be at the hospital with you as my wife and our two daughters," said Ross.

"I know, me neither. I never would have expected this when I first came to the city. It's amazing how life can turn out," replied Rachel.

"Yeah... it is," said Ross looking down on Hailey.

"But you know what?" inquired Rachel looking up at Ross.

"What?" asked Ross as he ran his fingers through Rachel's silky golden brown hair.

"I wouldn't change any of this for the world..." replied Rachel, as she then deeply and passionately kissed Ross. Ross, Rachel, Emma and Hailey were together as a family. It was all picture perfect.

Two years later...

"Can you believe how long it's actually been since just us six have hung out at the coffee house without our kids?" inquired Monica.

"Yet I can still hear the cries of our screaming children," said Chandler to himself.

"Well, hey, if we all got divorced, gave our kids up for adoption, Chandler, you moved back in with Joey, and Rachel, you moved back in with Monica and went back to being a waitress, serving us coffee, we'd all be the six single people we were 12 years ago. It would be fun," explained Phoebe.

"Well, Pheebs, I couldn't be happier with the way things have turned out," Ross replied smiling, briefly looking at Rachel.

"Me neither," said Rachel as she rubbed Ross's knee. "So much has happened in the last two, three years. Ross and I got married and had another baby, Monica and Chandler, you guys now have twins, Joey's engaged and Phoebe's pregnant with her second baby," stated Rachel. (AN: Phoebe and Mike had a baby girl named Sophie last year and are now expecting a boy).

"Hey Pheebs, do you realise this will be the fifth baby you've given birth to?" inquired Monica.

"Wow, really? Well, Phoebo, you're the last baby I'm going to have," said Phoebe talking to her stomach.

"I never would've expected Joey to be engaged. Look at you all grown up. I'm so proud of you!" said Rachel.

"I'm engaged? To who?" asked Joey.

"He may not be a womaniser anymore, but he's still the same old dumb lovable Joey," said Chandler.

"Hey! I'm still a womaniser! I'm a total chick magnet!" exclaimed Joey. "Please don't tell Isobel I said that," he continued.

"Well, I never expected Ross and Rachel to stay married for two years," said Phoebe.

"Hey! Pheebs, I thought you said you always knew Ross and I would stay married!" replied Rachel.

"Well, knowing Ross and his track record of divorces..." said Chandler.

"Yeah, that's right, just make fun of me and my divorces again. Besides, third time is always a charm," said Ross.

"But you've been married four times. First to Carol, second Emily, then Rachel and then Rachel again. That's four times, not three," explained Joey.

"Hey everyone, Joey learnt how to count!" said Chandler.

"Okay, well, the third time didn't count. They shouldn't allow drunk people to get married!" exclaimed Ross who was now becoming upset.

"Aw sweetie, it's okay. I promise you'll never need to get divorced again because I love you and I always will," replied Rachel as she the started kissing Ross with each kiss becoming deeper and passionate.

"For God sakes, you two! This isn't high school anymore! Get a room!" exclaimed Monica.

It was a lazy summer afternoon and Ross and Rachel were together at home with their two beautiful daughters, Emma and Hailey. Emma was now six years old and would be starting school after the summer finished. Like her dad, she was very smart, but she was growing up to look more like her mom each day. She had the same golden brown hair that complimented her crystal blue eyes and every time you saw her, you could distinctively see the Rachel in her. Hailey, however, was a two year old who looked more like her dad. She had dark brown hair, the cutest smile and those big, beautiful brown eyes that were impossible not to fall in love with. Ross and Rachel treasured every moment they spent with their daughters, just as much as they did with each other.

"Ew! Don't look, Hailey. Mommy and Daddy are making out on the couch again!" exclaimed Emma walking into the lounge room while Hailey crawled on the floor. Ross and Rachel got up from the couch, slightly embarrassed, but they knew their kids were used to it.

"Hailey sweetie, don't put that in your mouth! It's been on the floor! It's yucky," said Rachel picking up Hailey. "Looks like you need a diaper change, too," Rachel continued. She walked into Hailey's room to change her diaper as Emma followed, while Ross turned on the TV to the Discovery Channel, hoping to find a documentary on dinosaurs.

"Mommy?" inquired Emma, who was sitting on top of the chest of drawers.

"Yeah, hun?" replied Rachel as she started changing Hailey's diaper.

"How did you and Daddy meet?" asked Emma inquisitively.

"Well, your Daddy and I have known each other since we were kids because I was friends with your Aunt Monica, Daddy's sister," answered Rachel.

"Was it love at first sight?" questioned Emma.

Rachel smiled. She remembered when she was Emma's age and how she dreamt of telling her children how her and their Daddy got together and how romantic it was. Of course, Rachel and Ross had their ups and downs like any normal couple, yet their story was a dream come true and a fairytale waiting to be told. "Well, actually, I just saw your Daddy as your Aunt Monica's geeky older brother," answered Rachel.

Emma laughed at the thought of her mom referring to her dad as a geek. "So, didn't you like Daddy when you first met him?" Emma asked.

"Well, just as a friend. But then, I realised how sweet and kind your Daddy was and he somehow made me fall in love with him. Did you know your Daddy has loved me since he was 15 years old?" said Rachel.

"Wow, Daddy must love you lots. So, how come you decided to marry him? Daddy says 'cause you couldn't resist his charm," questioned Emma.

Rachel always found it cute when Emma bombarded her with questions. Most of time, they were to do with her and Ross. Emma loved knowing how her parents fell in love and got married and hoped that someday, like most young girls do, the same would happen to her. It was a topic that never seemed to get boring or tiresome. Maybe it was because Ross and Rachel's love for one another was that way. They always had an immense unconditional love they shared. The kind of love everyone dreams on finding some day.

"Daddy said that to you, did he? Well, I married your Dad because he is my true love and he has given me two beautiful and healthy girls," answered Rachel, as she then kissed Emma on the cheek.

"Mommy, when I'm all grown up, do you think I will find true love and marry someone like Daddy?" inquired Emma.

"Of course you will, sweetie. Who wouldn't love my baby girl? And you know what? He'll love you just as much as your Daddy loves you," answered Rachel.

Emma smiled just when Ross entered the room. "Hey, DinoWorld is on the Discovery Channel! Hailey and I are going to go watch it together!" Ross said with excitement, as he picked up Hailey up from her changer. "What have my three favourite girls been up to?" he then asked.

"Emma and I were discussing how much of a geek you are," Rachel answered smiling.

"Hey, I already get that enough from you and everyone else, I don't need my own children calling me a geek," said Ross.

"Aw honey, we're only teasing. You know we love you," replied Rachel, then kissing Ross on the lips.

"I love you, too," Ross said smiling.

"What about me?" asked Emma.

"Mommy and I love you and Hailey more than anything, Princess," Ross replied, kissing Emma on the forehead.

"I love you too, Mommy and Daddy," said Emma.

"Well, Hailey and I are going to watch TV. I just know she'll become a scientist when she's older! You girls coming?" Ross asked.

"We'll be there in a sec," replied Rachel, as Ross then walked out of the room. Rachel then picked up Emma off the chest of drawers. "Emma, sweetie?" she inquired.

"Yeah, Mommy?" asked Emma.

"Promise me you won't become a scientist when you're older," said Rachel.

Emma giggled. "I promise. But if Daddy asks why and he gets angry, I'm telling him 'cause you don't want me to," replied Emma.

It was now about 10:30 at night and Ross and Rachel were checking on Emma and Hailey fast asleep in their bedrooms.

"Aren't they adorable when they're asleep?" asked Rachel.

"Yeah, but when they're awake, they can be little terrors," answered Ross.

"Ross honey, are ever going to have more children?" questioned Rachel as she and Ross both walked to their bedroom.

"Uh, yeah sure, why not," Ross answered.

"I'm not sure if I want to, though..." replied Rachel, as she and Ross sat up and talked in bed.

"Really? Why?" questioned Ross.

"Well, if we were to have another child, I don't know where we would put them because there's no room left in our apartment, I don't know if we can even afford it, plus with Ben every other week, not to mention I've already been through the excruciating pain twice" explained Rachel.

"Yeah, that's true. I didn't think of it like that. It just sounds weird to say we're never gonna have a child again, but I'm happy with the way things are," replied Ross, then placing a gentle kiss on Rachel's neck.

Rachel smiled as she rested her head against Ross's chest while quietly and intently listening to every beat of his heart. Ross took Rachel in his arms and caressed her thigh up and down repeatedly under the blankets. It was kind of like a ritual they went through each and every night before falling asleep or making love, and the bedroom light was always dimmed a soft, warm glow to set the mood. "I love listening to your heart beat," Rachel spoke softly.

"Why? So you know I'm not dying on you?" Ross asked sarcastically.

"No, silly! I don't know... it's just a nice sound," answered Rachel, as she moved her hand up and down Ross's chest from underneath his shirt. They both loved being in the warm and sweet embrace.

"Well, I love listening to your heart beat, too. I love the feeling of my head being sandwiched in between your boobs," said Ross smiling.

Ross's comment caused Rachel to cock an eyebrow and then smile. "Shut up, you goof!" exclaimed Rachel, playfully hitting Ross's arm. "Hey, guess who I ran into the other day?" she continued.

"Who?" Ross asked curiously.

"Mark. He invited me out to lunch tomorrow. Should be fun," answered Rachel.

"You mean that Mark? The one who got you your job at Bloomingdales? The Mark who was one of the reasons who caused us to break up? That Mark?" Ross interrogated Rachel. You could tell by the tone in his voice that he was frustrated, disappointed and upset. His hand left Rachel's thigh when he heard the mere mention of Mark's name and it made him cringe.

"Calm down, honey, I was joking! I didn't see Mark! I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sorry, but you're so cute when you're all worked up!" Rachel replied.

"Well, it wasn't a very funny joke. Rach, you know I'm still uneasy about Mark," said Ross in an upset tone to his voice. Even though it happened so many years ago, Ross still felt troubled whenever the topic of Mark arose. It was just the way he was.

"You're right, and I'm sorry," Rachel's voice, too, had an upset tone to it now. Ross and Rachel's relationship wasn't all fun and games. Behind it all, it was hard work and it took commitment and trust, but it was always worth it because they were truly, madly and deeply in love with each other. Like in any healthy relationship, they still occasionally fought, but learning from their mistakes only made their love for one another stronger.

"Hey, come here, I'm not mad," said Ross as he embraced Rachel again. He pressed Rachel's head back onto his chest and Ross continued caressing Rachel's thigh, with his free hand resting on her hip. She smiled and turned around to face Ross. "So, you find it cute when I get all worked up, huh?" Ross continued, smiling.

"Look at you... you're adorable!" exclaimed Rachel. She placed a soft, long kiss on Ross's lips. "You know, I probably don't say this enough, but thank you,"

"For what?" questioned Ross.

"Just for you. Thank you for being such a wonderful husband, for our beautiful girls, for loving me and for pleasuring me the way no other guy can," Rachel answered smiling.

Rachel's last comment made Ross laugh. "Well, it's always my pleasure. And thank you for making me the luckiest guy alive," replied Ross, placing soft kisses on Rachel's neck in between his words. Each kiss felt like a volt of electricity and made Rachel's heart tingle. She loved how unpredictable Ross could be. The way he made her feel was like no other. The single touch of him mesmerised her.

"You know… I'm finding it hard to resist your charm, right now. I mean, that is why I married you, isn't it?" Rachel said seductively. She vigorously worked her hands up and down Ross's arms, feeling his biceps. He never said, but she could tell he always loved it when she did that to him.

"I can't believe Emma told you that! That girl can't keep a secret!" said Ross in his trademark high-pitched voice. It was now suddenly silent. Rachel had her forehead pressed against his, and her arms freely placed around Ross's neck. The warm glow of the bedroom light made her skin look soft and smooth and her eyes glisten. "How did I end up with someone as beautiful as you?" Ross whispered in Rachel's ear. She loved it when he whispered to her. Ross then softly kissed Rachel on her lower neck. That was all it took to take her breath away.

"I fell in love with you," answered Rachel. She then slowly took off Ross's shirt. Ross did the same, feeling her smooth skin against his hands before removing her bra. The second their eyes met, Ross began placing tender kisses upon Rachel's lips with their bodies pressed against each other's. Rachel was now lying on the soft cotton sheets of the bed with Ross on top. Gradually, those tender kisses became more intense and passionate, somewhat slightly aggressive, even. Starting at Rachel's legs, Ross's hands slowly made their way up her hips, her stomach and then they rested on her chest.

"I love you," whispered Ross as he then relaxed his head on Rachel's shoulder.

"I love you," Rachel replied. She brushed her lips up against Ross's neck. Almost like a subtle kiss and the feeling made him feel complete. He always loved it when she did that to him.

Whenever they were in a moment like this, they always thought of how lucky they were to have fallen in love with someone like each other. What they had was special and they would never stop loving each other because they were in love and that was all they needed. Each other's love.
