So since the weeks are running down, I want to do a few big blog entries at the end so I had to combine these two seasons. As the title spoils, Rachel is the one who took the positive pregnancy test! The only question now is, who is the father. After everyone tries to convince her to tell them, the only hint she gives is that he was wearing a red sweater that he carelessly left behind the night they were together. Joey found this and showed it to Phoebe who knew that Tag owned that sweater! So she called Tag and had him meet him at Central Perk, however when he showed up, what he was wearing was shocking to them. He was wearing the RED SWEATER. Obviously he’s not the father. Frustrated at the mystery, Joey and Phoebe headed back to Monica’s and Ross was there. He exclaimed “My Sweater! I’ve been looking everywhere for that!”

So Ross is the father of the baby! When Rachel tells him she’s pregnant he freaks out a little, but he eventually gets on board and let’s just say it is an extremely hilarious to watch the two of them throughout her pregnancy. If I haven’t convinced you to watch this show yet, take my word for it now, this season is hilarious! Ross asks Rachel to move in with him because he wants to be involved in the pregnancy. Though Ross and Rachel are having the baby, they do not resume their romantic relationship. Joey, however starts to develop feelings for Rachel.

He doesn’t act on them, but they are clearly evident. In the season finale, Rachel gives birth to a baby girl, whom she names Emma. At the hospital, Ross’s mother offers him an engagement ring because she wants him to marry Rachel. Ross does not intend to ask Rachel to marry him, but he takes the ring anyway and puts it in his jacket pocket. Meanwhile, after Emma is born, Joey looks for some tissue for an upset Rachel, picks up Ross’s jacket, and the ring falls to the floor. He kneels to pick it up and turns to Rachel, still on his knees and still holding the ring. Rachel thinks that she is proposing to him and she says yes…

That brings us to the ninth season. Rachel is embarrassed after figuring out that Joey wasn’t proposing while Ross isn’t the happiest with either of them for the situation, Joey proposing, and Rachel saying yes… However, this all gets swept under the rug and Rachel and Ross take Emma home!

This season introduces a new character named Charlie. In the interest of time, I’m going to outline the rest of this season up to the finale…

-Joey starts dating a paleontologist named Charlie (She’s the worst)

-Phoebe starts dating a guy named Mike Hannigan (He’s the best!)

-Chandler and Monica try to start a family, but are unsuccessful and have to visit a fertility specialist.

-Ross develops feelings for Charlie

-Joey still has feelings for Rachel

-Phoebe and Mike break up because he says he never wants to get married

-Phoebe starts to date David again

-Everyone takes a trip to Barbados for a paleontology conference to support Ross

In Barbados, Ross confesses his feelings for Charlie, who in turn breaks up with Joey to be with him. Joey then confesses his feelings for Rachel, and they kiss. Phoebe, who brought David on the trip, is surprised when Mike shows up and tells her he’s still in love with her. He then proposes to her and she says yes! So that means that everyone is together with new people, but season ten, the final season, changes everything, again!
