**********
The song playing over the speakers was definitely not a wedding song. I loved the song, but it almost always brought me to tears. Being in Egon’s arms as Norah Jones sang ‘Don’t Know Why’ was surreal. It froze me for a moment, but Egon held me closer. I rested my head on his chest, and I couldn’t keep from crying. I thought of my father’s death, and I wondered for the millionth time what would have happened if I’d gone to the diner to see Egon instead of running. How would he have handled me telling him I was pretty sure I was pregnant? I couldn’t go, though. I’d had to run. He stroked my hair, making me look up to him. He used his thumbs to wipe away my tears. "Why did you run?" He asked me. There wasn’t any anger in his voice, just regret. I gulped back my tears, and he handed me a handkerchief. I glanced over to check on Aiden, and I saw he and Ray were talking animatedly.
"Come on, let’s find a little privacy." I suggested, leading him from the dance floor. I found a secluded hallway near the kitchen, and I leaned up against the wall. I didn’t even know how to begin explaining it all. "You remember how Peter said he never wanted to see me again? Well, that was just what cinched it for me. I was scared. I’d caused Pop’s death, maybe not intentionally, but I was still responsible. The only other person who’d been around when... stuff... happened was you, Egon. I loved you too much to chance hurting you. When Peter said he didn’t want to ever see me again I used that as an excuse to run." I tried to explain.
"Rebecca... I... I was going to ask you to marry me. When you didn’t show I didn’t know what to think. Now that I see your son, I guess I was magnifying our relationship. I must not have been very important to you if you found someone to have a child with so quickly." Egon replied with a frown. All I could do was stare at him.
"Egon..."
"I’ve never been able to be rational when it comes to you, Rebecca, not then and not now either. It’s enough for me, even if you only slightly loved me. I try so hard to not feel this way for you, but I can’t help it. I just want to be with you." He told me in a voice that shook.
"Oh, Egon..." I smiled at him. I didn’t know how to straighten him out, so I just kissed him. I put all the love I still felt for him into the kiss, and he gathered me against him. I heard footsteps, but I didn’t care if anyone caught us. I felt a familiar electric sensation, and a popping sound startled us out of the kiss. The flame shaped light bulb in the wall mounted light had blown out. Literally. The bulb had shattered. "Oh, no..." I whispered and felt the familiar dread rise in me, as it did, the larger overhead light began to buzz and burn brighter. The glass shield around it vibrated, and Peter and Dana found us just in time to see it crack and blow out. In the red glow of the emergency exit sign, Peter’s face crumpled into a scowl.
"You’re still up to this shit?"
"Peter..." Egon tried to calm him.
"No! No, I gave her a chance, Egon. I was nice to her, even though you invited her. I was willing to give it a shot, but nothing’s changed! She’s still dangerous, and I don’t want her anywhere near my family!" Peter exclaimed.
"It’s not her fault!" Egon argued.
"I don’t give a shit! I don’t want her around Dana or Oscar." Peter replied. As they yelled, I tried to pull back into the corner, and, as I did, the ice machine shifted from the wall blocking me away from them.
"Oh my, God!" Dana gasped.
"Come on, get away from her. Egon, get her out of here. Her kid can stay, but she’s got to go." Pete said. At the commotion, Ray and Aiden had come running. Ray and Egon immediately moved the ice machine to free me. I was spiraling into a panic, and I did the only thing I knew to do. I grabbed Aiden’s hand, and I ran. He followed after me, yelling for me to stop. I wouldn’t, though. I kept running toward our apartment, and, eventually, he gave in and ran with me. Only when I couldn’t run anymore did I let him hail us a cab.
**********
She’d done it again. Egon slumped against the wall, sliding down it to sit on the floor. "We should go after her. She’s upset." Ray suggested.
"No. I can’t keep doing this. I told myself I was doing this for her and Peter, but, subconsciously, I wanted to see her again. She’s the only girl I’ve ever loved, Raymond, but I can’t think rationally around her. Let her go. One of us will need to stay at the station, and it should probably be me." Egon said.
"What the hell are you talking about, Spengler?" Ray asked, hunching down beside him.
"Winston’s married, Peter’s married, you’re getting ready to move in with Linda. We’re all getting older, our job is dangerous. We probably won’t live to old age. One of us needs to stay at the station and think about training the next generation of Ghostbusters." He explained, hanging his head.
"Oh, Eggy, she’s just scared. And who says you can’t have your family live at the station? The place is huge. Did you talk much to Aiden? The kid’s a phenomenon, Egon. I think he is the perfect candidate for Ghostbusters, generation two." Ray replied. Egon’s mood became conflicted again.
"You may be right. He seems very interested in our work... when I think of him I think of his mother. I don’t think I can separate the two in my mind." He frowned. Ray patted his shoulder and wore an enigmatic smile.
"Don’t worry, Spengs, I think everything will work out." Ray said, ever the optimist.
