The One Where Rachel's Sister Babysits

The bustling streets of New York City were just beginning to slow down as dusk fell, casting a soft glow over the bustling metropolis. Chandler and Darcy, were navigating the tumultuous waters of parenthood. Their newborn, Joey, had turned their world upside down in the most beautiful yet exhausting way. 
"Chandler, can you please grab another diaper?" Darcy called from the nursery, her voice tinged with fatigue but also a trace of amusement. 
Chandler, already half asleep, groggily made his way to the changing table. "I'm on it, honey. Don't worry." He handed the diaper to Darcy, who expertly changed their baby boy. 
"Who knew such a tiny person could produce so much... stuff?" Chandler muttered, shaking his head in disbelief. 
Darcy laughed softly. "Welcome to parenthood. It's messy, exhausting, but completely worth it." She leaned in to kiss Joey's forehead, her love for her son evident in her every gesture. 
In the meantime, Joey and Monica were preparing their home for adoption. They had decided to expand their family and were eagerly anticipating the arrival of their future child. Monica was in full organization mode, ensuring everything was perfect.
"Joey, did you remember to baby-proof the kitchen?" Monica asked, her voice echoing through their apartment.
"Yeah, Mon. Everything's locked up tight. We're ready," Joey replied, his enthusiasm barely contained. "I can't wait to meet our little one. It's going to be amazing."
Back at Rachel and Ross's apartment, Rachel's sister, Amy, was in charge of babysitting Emma for the evening. Rachel and Ross were hesitant but hoped that Amy could handle the responsibility.
"Amy, are you sure you've got this?" Rachel asked, her brow furrowed with concern.
"Rach, relax! I've got everything under control," Amy reassured her, waving off her sister's worries. "How hard can it be to watch a baby?"
