- After Rachel gives birth to her baby, she must confront relationship issues around her.
- After 21 hours, Rachel is finally ready to go to the delivery room; when her daughter is born, she says her surname will be Geller Green. After Rachel decides that neither of the two names (Isabella and Delilah) that she and Ross had been choosing between seems to fit, Monica mentions that she has already chosen the names Daniel and Emma for her future children. Rachel is so taken with the name Emma that Monica happily consents to the baby having it. Janice comes to see Rachel, and says she admires her for her strength to raise the child on her own. When Rachel says she isn't alone because she has Ross, Janice tells her that Ross won't stay around forever and might meet someone else. Suddenly, Rachel feels very alone, and tries to talk to Ross about the kiss they had. Ross doesn't want to have a relationship with Rachel anymore, because if it doesn't work out it would really hurt their daughter, and he and Rachel are doing fine as things are now. Joey comes to comfort Rachel, and accidentally finds the engagement ring in Ross' jacket pocket. While he is kneeling to pick it up, Rachel thinks Joey is proposing to her - and although she is startled, she tearfully says yes.—Anonymous
- Chandler and Monica's attempts to conceive a baby in the room right next door to Rachel's are ruined when they hear Janice calling through the wall. Things get a little awkward between Ross, Chandler and Janice, who are now forced to all be in the same room together when both men dated Janice. Luckily, Janice is quickly far enough to leave and go to the delivery room. When Rachel is about 21 hours in labor, Dr. Long comes by and tells her that she's ready to have her baby.
Joey finds out that Cliff, the cute guy Phoebe met at the elevator, seems to be a nice guy, so Phoebe enters his room. Things go really well between them, until he sees an episode of Days of our Lives with Joey on it on the TV. Things get worse when Joey enters and tells Phoebe that Rachel is going into labor. Phoebe then confesses to everything about her plan with Joey. Cliff is upset by this and to make it even, Joey decides to tell him some personal stuff about Phoebe (She married a gay ice dance, gave birth to her brother's triplets and her sisters did porn), which does nothing to alleviate the situation. Eventually, Phoebe manages to fix things, but Joey ruins it by getting emotional.
The child is born, but Ross and Rachel don't have a name yet. When the doctor is ready to list her as Baby Girl Greene, Rachel decides her daughter's surname will be Geller-Greene, leading to her kissing Ross. Soon the gang visits Rachel and the baby, and Ross introduces their daughter as Isabella only for Rachel to start crying as she claims Isabella is "not her name" although she can't explain why. Ross suggests their back-up of Delilah, but Rachel can't accept that either. When it's mentioned that Monica has already picked the names of her future children, Rachel asks what the girl name would be promising she won't steal it. However, when Monica tells her that she'd picked the name "Emma", Rachel clearly really likes it but tries to hide it. Monica agrees to allow Rachel to use it, telling her that even though she loves the name, she loves Rachel more (and also reasoning that their child is screwed with the surname 'Bing' anyway), and with that Ross and Rachel's daughter is Emma Geller-Greene. Ross then hugs his sister.
Later, Janice stops by and privately tells Rachel that she admires her for her strength to raise the child on her own. When Rachel says she isn't alone because she has Ross, Janice tells her that Ross won't stay around forever and might meet someone else. Suddenly, Rachel feels very alone and in an attempt to restart their relationship, she tries to talk to Ross about the kiss they shared back at the apartment, but he rejects her. Ross doesn't want to have a relationship with Rachel again, because if it doesn't work out it would really hurt the baby and he is fine with the way things are now. However, Phoebe convinces him that it can work out and that he'll have everything he has dreamed of since he was fifteen. Ross decides to give it a try and buys some flowers for Rachel.
Unfortunately, Rachel is unaware of Ross's reasons for rejecting her and assumes he doesn't have feelings for her anymore. Joey comes by and comforts her, letting her know she won't have to worry about raising her baby alone. He later gets tissues for Rachel and accidentally drops the engagement ring box from Ross's coat. While sitting on one knee, Joey picks up the box and opens it revealing the engagement ring. He turns around to show Rachel and she accidentally thinks Joey is proposing to her. Before Joey can explain the truth, Rachel accepts. At the same time, Chandler and Monica finally manage to have unprotected sex in the hospital, albeit in the janitorial room.
