"I'm so sorry Egon," said Jeanie as she wept.
"What is there to be sorry for?" Egon asked.
"That I can't give you another child."
Egon took Jeanie's hand and said, "What matters to me now is that you're here and doing great.
I can't imagine a life without you or Lila in it.
And if were meant to have one child, then we're blessed."
Jeanie tears faded as she looked into Lila's big brown eyes and smile.
"We are blessed," she said.
Jeanie touched Lila's cheek with her finger tip, carefully leaned forward and kiss the baby, before giving one to Egon.
Another hour or so later, everyone (including Grace and the kids and Egon and Lila, who let Winston and Jeanie rest) were back in the waiting room.
Hoping to get an update on Peter.
Just then, Doctor Katzenberg appeared.
"The surgery was a success.
The right kidney is responding to Peter's body and he's out of the coma," said the doctor.
The room was filled with cheers as well as tears as relief and joy from Dana.
"Thank you doctor.
Thank you so much for everything," she said, giving the doctor a hug, after giving hugs to her parents and Oscar.
"Did you hear that little ones?
Daddy's going to be OK," Dana said to Peter Jr. and Tabitha, who babbled and giggled.
"Since Peter had intense surgery, only Dana can go back to see him today.
The rest of you can visit him tomorrow," said Dr. Katzenberg.
"That's understandable doctor," spoke Jenny.
"Can we visit Jeanie and Winston?" asked Ray.
"Yes, but only a few visitors at a time and short ones as well, as they both need their rest, said the doctor, Mrs. Venkman, I'll come get you later when Peter moves into a private room."
Later on, while everyone went to visit Winston and Jeanie, with the exception of Dana, Oscar, the twins and the Barretts who waited for the doctor to take her to see Peter.
When Dr. Katzenberg return, he lead Dana down a hallway to Peter's room.
The doctor slowly opened the door and Dana entered.
She saw Peter, who was hooked up to several machines as he was lying in his bed.
Dana quietly walked up to him, stroked his hair and kissed his forehead, which caused Peter to open his eyes.
"I must be in heaven.
I'm looking at an angel," said Peter in a whisper tone of voice.
"No Peter, you're alive and doing great," said Dana, who had a new batch of tears in her eyes.
"You indeed made it through the surgery with flying colors Peter, said the doctor.
"How are Winston and Jeanie?" asked Peter.
"They're both doing well," Dana answered.
"And the kids.
I want to see the kids."
"You can see them and everyone else tomorrow.
Right now, it's been a long day for you and all of us.
"What's most important is that you're going to be well again."
Dr. Katzenberg then said before leaving the room, "I'll come back and check on you later Peter.
Right now, I'll let you two have some time together."
After the doctor walked out, Peter spoke.
"I have a confession to make, he said with tears in his eyes, I was more scared of if anything happened to me and leaving you, Oscar, Peter Jr, and Tabitha behind, than having this surgery."
"But all went well, and you're going to stay with us for a long time, said Dana, As you told me after we got back together, you lost me once and you were not going to lose me again.
That is exactly how I feel.
Peter, I love you so much."
"I love you to Dana."
The two then kissed.
An hour later, everyone left the hospital.
Ray had invited them all back to the firehouse for dinner, but only Jenny, Grace, Christopher and Jessica came by as the Barretts took a sleepy Oscar, Peter Jr. and Tabitha back home.
After a dinner of leftover Chinese takeout, Jessica and Christopher grew tired from the long day.
Ray volenterred to take them home as he was spending the night at Jenny's.
He figured Egon wanted time to himself with his daughter.
After the five left, Egon gave Lila a bath, changed and put her to bed or rather tried to, as Lila stared to cry, when Egon placed her in the crib.
He took her out of the crib and said,"What's the matter baby girl?
Do you miss Mommy? he asked, I do to."
Indeed something was off.
Before putting Lila in the crib, Jeanie would always sing to the baby.
Usually 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' or 'Hush Little Baby'
Though he never was much of a singer or familiar with lalabies, Egon held Lila in his arms as he came up with a song.
"Hush little Lila, Daddy's here
Please don't you cry, another tear
I love you so much sweet baby girl, you and Mommy are my whole world
I'll always keep you in my heart
Forever, until the day we part."
Lila stopped crying and fell asleep in his arms.
While still holding Lila, Egon went to the closet and with one free hand, took out one of Jeanie's shirts and wrapped it around Lila like a blanket.
He then placed her on the bed, the took a few of his own shirts out of the closet and made a make shift 'nest bed' on Jeanie's side, which he then placed Lila inside.
While she slept, Egon took a shower, changed into his pajamas, which were dark grey sweatpants and a black t-shirt, as he didn't want to wake up Lila opening and closing drawers.
He then got another shirt of Jeanie's out of the closet and placed it onto his pillow.
Egon carefully got into bed, leaned over to kiss Lila and whispered, "Sleep tight baby girl.
He then laid down on the bed and took hold of his daughter's tiny hand.
