Me and Joey are asleep in bed when we are awoken by Eliana's crying.
Tabitha:It's your turn.
Joey:"Groans".
Joey gets up and puts on his pants and then leaves the room to go to the nursery.As minutes pass and still hearing Eliana's crying I hear the cries get louder as Joey brings Eliana into the bedroom.
Joey:I've tried changing her diaper,giving her a bottle and even a little bath.Nothing's working.
Tabitha:Okay.
I grab my guitar as Joey rocks Eliana in his arms.
Tabitha:"Sings".When Mr.Southwind sighs in the pines,Old Mr.Winter whimpers and whines,Down in the meadow,Under the snow,April is teaching green things to grow,When Mr.Westwind hums in the blades,Old Mr.Summer nods in the shade,Down in the meadow,Deep in the brook,Catfish are waiting for the hook...Old lady blackbird flirts with the scarecrow,Scarecrow is waving at the moon.Old Mr.Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump,bump,With the magic of June,When Mr.Eastwind shouts overhead,Then all the leaves turn yellow and red,Down in the meadow,Corn stalks are high,Pumpkins are ripe and ready for pie...Old lady blackbird flirts with the scarecrow,Scarecrow is waving at the moon,Old Mr.Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump,bump,With the magic of June,When Mr.Northwind rolls on the breeze,Old Father Christmas trims all the trees,Down in the meadow,Snow softly gleams,Earth goes to sleep,And smiles in her dreams.
As I finish singing Eliana is still crying so I take her from Joey and rock Eliana myself humming a pretty soothing tune.As I do that I see Eliana's gums look a little swollen...Eliana is teething.
Tabitha:Joey get me the left over baby acetaminophen we have from when she had that nasty cold.
Joey nods and goes and gets it and he comes back putting it in some water in Eliana's baby bottle and hands it to me.I give it to Eliana and she immediately stops crying as she drinks it and naws on the rubber.
Tabitha:Please put the teething rings I bought in the fridge.We'll need them our Baby is gonna have teeth soon.
Joey nods and goes to do so as I continue giving Eliana the acetaminophen water.I hum a new tune for her and she looks at me.

At Monica and Chandler's Ross and Monica are going on about their parents selling their childhood house.
Ross:I can’t believe we have to say goodbye to the house we grew up in.
Tabitha:Yeah.
Ross:Man some,some stranger’s gonna be living in my room.
Monica:Well after 15 years of mom and dad keeping it as a shrine to you it’s time the velvet ropes came down.
Ross:They kept your room for a while.
Monica:Oh please.Dad turned my room into a gym 20 minutes after I moved out.I gotta say a tanning bed and a stack of Victoria’s Secret catalogues not a gym.
Ross:Come on you know they love you.
Monica:As much as they love you?.
Ross:I was their first born.They thought she was barren.It’s not my fault.
Phoebe:"Enters".Hey.
Tabitha:Hey.
Monica:Hey!.
Phoebe:Ugh I hate this year!.
Ross:What’s wrong with this year?.
Phoebe:Well okay it’s already February and I’ve only given two massages and they were both the worst tippers in the world.
Monica:That was me and Ross.
Phoebe:Oh that’s right.
Ross:Hey y’know if you want to pick up some extra cash?.Some friends of mine made good money doing telemarketing.
Monica:Oh that’s a great idea.
Tabitha:You’re really good on the phone.
Phoebe:Yeah and yeah and it would probably be better than the last telephone job I had.Y’know.I probably wouldn’t have to say spank as much.
We look at Phoebe in shock.
Ross:What?.
Phoebe:Oh yeah like you never called!.

At Monica and Chandler's Me,Eliana,Monica,Chandler,Ross and Rachel are sitting around the table.
Monica:Rachel,Ross.I’m glad you’re here we have a couple of things to ask you about the wedding ceremony.
Rachel:"Tearing up".Oh…
Ross:What’s the matter?.You okay?.
Rachel:Yeah it’s just y’know…
Tabitha:Monica said wedding.
Monica:Uh so anyway we thought one of you could read something during the ceremony.
Rachel:Oh!.I would love to read a poem.
Chandler:Do you think you could get through a poem?.
Rachel:"Crying".It’ll be a short one.
Monica:Okay so Ross will be doing the reading.
Rachel:Oh…
Ross:Okay.Yeah I guess,I guess I could do that too.
Chandler:Too?.
Ross:Yeah I kind of uh have something else planned for you guys.
Monica:Do you mind telling us what it is?.
Ross:Sorry I’m kinda keeping this one on the Q.T.
Chandler:Well whatever it is I hope it involves winking."Winks".
Cassius and Joey enter the apartment excitedly.
Cassius,Joey:Hey!.
All:Hey!
Joey:So I just talked to one of the DOOL writers today and-
Monica:What is DOOL?.
Joey:Days Of Our Lives.Anyway you’re not gonna believe it!.My character is coming out of his coma!.
Tabitha:Babe that's great!.
Cassius:And I'm gonna be a doctor on the show!.
All:Oh!.
Chandler:That’s great!.
Joey:And,and,and not only that I’m getting a new brain!.
Chandler:So great things are happening at work and in your personal life.
I playfully hit Chandler's shoulder at his comment towards my husband.
Rachel:Wait what do you mean you’re getting a new brain?.
Joey:Oh well they’re killing off one of the characters on the show and when she dies her brain is being transplanted into my body.
Ross:What?.A brain transplant?!.
Joey:"Seriously".Yes it’s a highly controversial procedure.
Ross:It’s ridiculous!.
Cassius:Well I think it’s ridiculous that you haven’t had sex in three and a half months.
Ross:It’s winter they are fewer people on the street.
Monica:Who are they killing off?.
Cassius:Uh Cecilia Monroe she plays Jessica Lockhart.
Rachel,Monica:No!.
Monica:She’s my favorite character on DOOL.
Joey:Nice.
Rachel:She is so good at throwing drinks in people’s faces I mean I don’t think I’ve ever seen her finish a beverage.
Monica:And the way she slaps all the time!.
Rachel:Oh!.
Monica:Wouldn’t you love to do it just once?!.
Monica raises her hand towards Chandler.
Chandler:Don’t do it.
Rachel:Cecilia Monroe man what a great actress.
Joey:Oh tell me about it.And she’s been on the show forever it’s gonna be really hard to fill her shoes.
Ross:Yeah,yeah help me out here when you come out of the brain transplant you are going to be her?.
Joey:Yes but in Drake Remoray’s body.
Ross laughs unbelievably.
Cassius:Why is this so hard for you to get?.I thought you were a scientist!.
