**********
After eating a hearty lunch with Ray and getting the apartment put back together I was feeling much better. Ray had always had that effect on me. He could cheer me up on some of the worst days of my life. I was starting to think I’d made a mistake by running all those years ago. What would have happened if I’d stayed? I would’ve had support from Ray and his family, and Egon had wanted to marry me! If I’d known that would I have run? What would happen if Egon and I fought? Would I have killed him, too? I wondered if there was a sure fire way to guarantee I wouldn’t ever hurt anyone again, but somehow I doubted it. On the other hand, if a cure did exist, I knew Egon would find it. Could I risk his safety in the meantime? Things had never been this... active, but I hadn’t been so conflicted either. It had been bad with Pop, but there was an easy solution to the problem. With Egon there was no easy answer. Did I want to be with him? More than almost anything I’d ever wanted before. I wanted Aiden to have his father around. Ray’s enthusiasm had infected me, and I was ready to try anything to make it work. The first think I needed to do was call Egon and tell him the truth. I wanted to assure Aiden I was doing better, as well. I thought about calling from the bedroom phone, but I changed my mind. "Ray, I need to call Egon and tell him the truth..."
"Oh... you want some privacy?"
"Actually, I was hoping you wouldn’t mind holding my hand as I talked to him. You always have made me feel better." I explained. He gave me an ear to ear smile.
"I’d consider it an honor to hold your hand while you tell my best friend the best news he’s ever heard." He agreed, sitting next to me on the sofa.
"Thank you. I’ll talk to Aiden first, just to let him know I’m okay. Once I tell Egon we can tell Aiden together."
"Sounds like a good idea. Here, I’ll dial the personal line." Ray said, taking the phone from me. "And, just to be on the safe side, I’m going to keep the PKE meter on you. If you start going into the danger zone we’ll cut the call short." He explained, handing me the phone. Egon answered it on the second ring.
"Egon, I need to speak with you, but let me talk to Aiden first." I told him.
"All right. Here he is." Egon replied. I heard the phone shuffling, and then Aiden answered.
"Mom, you sound better." He said happily.
"I am feeling much better. I’ve made some important decisions, and just knowing what I want to do helps. Tomorrow, after school, we’ll have the talk I’ve been promising you."
"Can I come home tonight, or, better yet, will you come here? It’s really cool here. Egon showed me the containment center, and we’ve been working in the lab." Aiden said, sounding like he was having a blast. It made my heart happy to hear he was enjoying himself so much.
"I’ll come over tomorrow after school. I could use a little cool off time, and I’d feel better if I knew you were safe."
"All right."
"Good. Now let me talk to Sp... I mean Egon."
"He told me you used to always call him Spengs. He said you used to constantly tease him." Aiden said, a hint of laughter in his voice.
"You’ve spent the afternoon with him. Tell me the man doesn’t need a little teasing just to loosen him up." I chuckled.
"I like him, Mom. You should go easy on him."
"I’ll try, Kiddo. I love you.
"I know. See you tomorrow."
"Bye, Baby." I told him, and waited for him to pass the phone back to Egon. I reached over and clutched Ray’s hand.
"Rebecca..."
"Egon, can you take the phone somewhere private? I need to talk to you about something important involving..."
"I think I know what you’re going to say. Hold on..." I heard his movement and the sound of a door closing. "... does it involve Aiden?" He asked. I squeezed Ray’s hand tighter.
"You figured it out?"
"Yes, but I’d like to hear you say it." He answered in a slightly shaky voice.
"Egon, Aiden is your son. He’s our son, and I only kept him from you because I was scared. I didn’t want either of you to get hurt. I was too stupid to realize the damage I was doing by keeping him a secret. I understand if you hate me for this, Egon, but please don’t take it out on him." I blurted, speaking faster and faster as the PKE meter’s arms began to raise incrementally. Ray rubbed my hand, setting the meter down to hold my hand in both of his.
"Becca, I’m not angry. I understand why you did what you did. You’d just seen your father killed, and you were just trying to protect the people you love." Egon said.
"Oh, Spengs, you should be furious with me." I sighed as the PKE meter’s arms began lowering.
"I know, but I’ve never been able to be rational around you. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not, but I don’t know how to change it. I always feel inadequate with you." He replied.
"Inadequate? Egon, you’re the most intelligent, capable man I know! I love everything about you, just the way you are. I always have, and I always will." I told him.
"You always make me feel..."
"Feel what?"
"Everything."
"Is that a good thing?" I asked.
"It’s a wonderful thing, and so is Aiden. I don’t know how I didn’t connect the dots."
"He’s so much like you, and he sounds like he’s having a blast with you."
"He’s amazing, Rebecca. He’s smarter than I was at his age. We need to get him into the university as soon as possible."
"He’s taking some college classes already, and, if he gets the scholarship, he’ll start full time in the Fall."
"Don’t worry about the money. It’ll be there. Also, I want to formally adopt him. He should have my name, and so should you. We can make this right for him. I’ll find a way to keep the PKE emanations to a non dangerous level. We’ll be a family." Egon told me. I felt my heart leap in my chest, and suddenly the PKE meter fluctuated wildly.
"Whoa!" Ray exclaimed as little blue orbs popped into existence and dissipated almost as quickly.
"What’s wrong? Was that Ray?" Egon asked.
"Yeah, it’s fine, just little blue lights. They’re already gone, and the PKE meter quit fluctuating."
"They showed up because you’re happy?" He asked with a hopeful voice.
"More like ecstatic. I want us to be a family, too. I will do anything to make Aiden’s life perfect, but this will make my life perfect, too. As long as I have you two and Ray I’ll have my family. Maybe one day Peter will be able to forgive me, but I can live with that." I told Egon.
"When can we tell Aiden?"
"I told him we’d talk after school tomorrow."
"Will I see you before that?"
"I’m gonna just chill out tonight. You should, too. Let everything sink in, and I’ll see you tomorrow."
"All right... let me speak with Ray." He replied.
