The past several months had been keeping the ghostbusters steady, especially Peter and Egon.
Not just with usual jobs at capturing ghosts and spirits, but preparing for fatherhood.
Jeanie and Egon had signed up for parenting and Lamaze classes, and while Peter did had some experience at child care from taking care of Oscar, Dana suggested that the two of them should join in on the lessons to.
The two new husbands also companied their wives to doctor's appointments as well, as long as they didn't have a busting job.
Thankfully, it was a quiet day, and that was what they were doing that day.
Egon and Jeanie had the first appointment.
The two watched as the doctor placed a 'jelly' onto an item that almost looked like a piece of equipment that the ghostbusters would use, but instead the doctor rubbed the gel and item around Jeanie's stomach, which made it possible to see their baby on a screen.
"Here's your baby," the doctor spoke.
"Oh my god, look how big it got from the last time I was here," said Jeanie.
"Incredible, just incredible.
How is the baby?" Egon asked.
"The doctor looked carefully over at the screen for a few moments then back to Egon and Jeanie saying, "Your baby is growing and looking healthy.
"That's terrific," said Egon.
"I'm so happy to hear we have a healthy baby," Jeanie added.
"Would you like to know the baby's sex?" the doctor asked.
"Actually, we want to keep it a surprise," said Jeanie.
"As long as the baby is healthy that's all that matters to us," said Egon.
After Jeanie's appointment ended, it was Dana's turn as Peter entered the room with her, while Jeanie and Egon waited for them.
The calm waiting room, soon became a bit on edge when Peter and Jeanie heard both Dana and Peter said, Oh My God! and 'Are you sure?' in a high tone of voice.
When they made their way out of the room, Dana looked like she had been crying, while Peter looked in complete shock.
"Peter, Dana, is everything OK?" Egon asked.
"We heard you both in here?
Is something wrong with the baby?" Jeanie asked as well.
"It's OK.
The babies are doing great and growing very well," Dana answered.
"That's good, said Jeanie, who was then caught off guard and asked, "Wait a second.
Did you just say babies?"
"I thought I heard you say that as well," added Egon.
"I did.
Peter and I are having twins!" said a very excited Dana.
Jeanie carefully got up from her seat, gave Dana a hug and said, "Congradulations!"
"Wonderful news to hear Venkman," said Egon.
"TTT..Twins," Peter stuttered, as he was still quite in shock over the news.
Egon went to a water cooler to get a cup for Peter.
After he guzzled the water down and said, "Thanks I needed that."
Dana looked at Peter with a look of concern and asked, "Peter, is all this too much for you to handle?"
"I'm fine.
Just in shock that's all.
I mean how is twins possible? Peter asked.
"It skips a generation in my family.
What about yours?"
Peter sighed and answered, "To tell you the truth, I really don't know much about my family.
Both of my grandfathers passed away before I was born, and my grandmothers died when I was still quite young.
My Dad was away all the time, I'm an only child, and my Mom was not a well person, so I took care of her most of the time.
In fact, she was told because of her health to never have children, and she almost died giving birth to me."
Egon, Jeanie and especially Dana were in shock to hear all this, as Peter never told any of them.
"Peter, I'm so sorry about what you and your Mother went through," said Jeanie.
"Venkman, this is quite a shock.
How come you never told any of us?" asked Egon.
Peter sighed and said, "You know me.
Mr. Cool Macho Man, but the story that my one grandmother told me just plays in my head over and over like a busted cassette tape.
My Mother never blamed me, but I always felt responsible."
He then took Dana's hands in his and said, "That's why I'm so nervous for you and the babies."
"Peter, everything will be fine.
You heard what the doctor told me.
I'm healthy and the babies are doing great."
A reassuring smile came across Peter's face.
"That makes me feel better," he spoke.
Peter and Dana then shared a kiss.
"Wait till we tell Oscar he's getting not one but two siblings," said Peter with a laugh.
"And our little one will have friends to play with," Jeanie added.
"By the way, how did your appointment go?" Dana asked.
"Jeanie's doing great and so is the baby," Egon answered.
"That's terrific.
By the way, what are you having?" asked Peter.
"We want to keep it a surprise," Jeanie answered.
As long as the baby is healthy, that's all that matters," Egon added.
"By the way, speaking of which, are the twins boys or girls?" Jeanie asked.
You know, come to think of it, Peter and I were so much in shock by the news of the twins, we didn't get a chance to ask the doctor the sex," Dana answered.
"You're right, it completely slipped our minds," Peter added.
Dana and Peter had planned on going back into the examining room, but by then, the doctor was with another patient.
"I guess that means we'll have to just wait and see they like you two," said Peter, with a laugh.
"I knew with Oscar it was a boy, but I'd think this time, I'd like to be surprise myself," Dana added.
