Always Forever

Hey, this is a fic that takes place in about four years from now. Keep in mind that this is just an introduction, so you can see who's with who etc. Also keep in mind that I really suck at paragraphing, so bear with me!

 "Joey? Could you come here for a second, hon?" called Rachel from the kitchen. "Yeah, just a minute.." yelled Joey from the living room. Rachel waited a few minutes, then called again. "Joey?" she said as she wandered into the living room. She burst out laughing when she saw what was going on. Four year old Madison had a death grip on one of Joey's legs while two year old Jacob clung to the other. "Help?" pleaded Joey as he struggled towards the door. Rachel laughed again and grabbed Jake off of Joey's leg while Joey tickled Madison until she could no longer hold on. "Thanks. I was starting to lose circulation" he laughed as he lifted a still giggling Madison onto his shoulders. "Could you come help me get the punch bowl down for me? Everyone else is gonna be here soon" Rachel said as she lifted Jake onto her hip and headed back to the kitchen. Joey followed, Madison bouncing happily on his shoulders. "I'm taller dan you, Mommy!" cried Madison from her perch on Joey. "You sure are" said Rachel as Joey kneeled down to let Madison off. He then reached into the cupboard and took down the crystal punch bowl. Rachel proceeded to fill the bowl with cranberry juice and Sprite, then added some pineapple slices and ice. Just then, the dorrbell rang. "That'll be Monica and Chandler" she said as she hurried to answer the door. "Hey!" Monica said as she stepped into the house, followed closely by Chandler and their three year old daughter Haley. "Hey, what took you so long?" asked Joey as he wandered into the front hall, followed closely by Jake. "It's not like you live on the other side of Manhattan!" he said. "All you have to do to get here is cross the street!" "Well, Monica was having trouble deciding what to wear." Chandler said, taking off his coat and hanging it up, then doing the same with Monica's and Haley's. "Everything I own makes me look huge!" Monica whined. "Well, hon, you ARE pregnant..." Chandler said. "Yeah, and I'm at the horrible ‘in between' stage where I'm not big enough to look pregnant, but big enough to look fat!" she whined again. "Well, come on in. Ross should be here any time now." Rachel said, leading them into the family room. They all chatted for a while. Chandler told them all about his promotion, and their new Minivan to accompany their growing family. Rachel told them how Jake had learned two new words: "couch" and "pizza". Joey was very happy about this, as these were his two favorite things. Everyone was entertained by Madison and Haley, who were best friends and had entered a Pokemon phase, chasing eachother around the room yelling "I choose you, Pikachu!" After a second round of punch (non alcoholic so Monica and the kids could enjoy it too), the doorbell rang again. "I'll go get it" Rachel said, jumping up and nearly getting run over by the two girls, who were racing to the door as well, yelling "An intruder! Quick!" Rachel reached the door and opened it to reveal... "Aunty Pheobe!" yelled the girls together, running to hug her. Pheobe stumbled in, as the two girls had grabbed her around the legs. She was trailed by her husband David [AN the guy from Minsk :)] and their sons Alix and Devon, both three years old. Rachel led them into the living room and sent the kids downstairs, because they were all becoming unbearably noisy. "When's Ross coming?" asked Pheobe, voicing the question they were all thinking nervously. "I dunno" said Joey, shrugging uneasily. Just then, the doorbell rang again. "He's here" said Monica, glancing at Rachel, who had looked scared. "I'll get it, Rach" she said, and hurried to the door. But Ross had already let himself in.

TBC... Haha a cliffhanger. Why are they afraid of Ross? And who is Rachel married to? Joey? Ross? Wait till the next chapter, friends! Reviews are apreciated, and keep in mind this is only an introduction. I'll get into details next time! Emily
