The next day, has the ghostbusters and Jeanie were about to leave to pick up Dana and Oscar and head to the hospital, a call came in.
Not for a job, but from the police department.
The officer on the phone on the phone was the same one who was on the scene of Ray's accident.
He called to let the team know that himself and his partner, who was on the scene of the accident with him compared both the notes and stories that the Ghostbusters and the cabdriver had given.
As it turned out, the cab driver was going almost 10 miles over the speed limit for that piticular street, and this wasn't the first time the driver's done it, in fact the cabbie had been written up on several for doing it.
However, Egon did created a traffic disturbance by standing in the middle of the road by not using proper road safety tools to keep cars clear of the area he was working in.
The taxi driver is now on a supension from the job, but the company he works for told him that if he wants to keep his job, he'll have to take a road safety test, and the cabbie agree to it.
Also, the manager of the company wants to make it up to the ghostbusters by helping to pay half of Ray's medical expenses, on the condition, that Ray and Egon both have to attend a traffic safety class.
Egon thought that sounded fair, and most likely Ray would agree to that as well.
The good news just kept on coming.
After arriving at the hospital,but not before picking up Dana and Oscar, the admitting nurse said that Ray will no longer be staying in the ICU.
Dr. Baker and Dr. Marshall met last night, compared notes and after see how much he has been doing great, considering what he went through, Ray was going to be moved into a regular room.
"Hey Ray, we heard the news.
Way a go!" said Peter, as he and everyone entered the room.
They were all glad to see that Ray was no longer also hooked up to anymore monitors, and the only thing that was still placed him him was the IV in his arm.
"I know, Dr. Marshall's nurse told me this morning.
He's in surgery now, but I'll be out of here this afternoon," said Ray.
"How do you feel?" Winston asked.
"Great.
I feel great.
I mean, I'm not quite at 100%, and I have a way to go before I get there, but I feel great."
"I think I can say we all feel the same way to," said Peter.
"Fully agreeable," added Egon.
"You got that right," said Jeanie.
"We're all glad for you Ray," said Dana.
Oscar at that moment began to squirm in Dana's arms.
"What's the matter sweetie?" Dana asked him.
"Do you mind if I hold him Dana?" Ray asked.
"I'm not so sure Ray, I don't want to risk you having another injury."
"It's OK Dana, it only hurts now when I laugh."
"Well now, did you hear the one about the penguin and the gorilla," said Peter, who got an elbow in the stomach by Jeanie, who said,"Don't even think about it."
Ray carefully sat himself up, then, while a bit hesitated about it, Dana carefully placed Oscar into his arms.
And surprisingly, the infant remained still.
"I think he wanted to see me," said Ray.
Just then, a sound came out of Oscar's mouth.
"Ray," he said.
The four ghostbusters,Jeanie and Dana were very much surprised to hear that, being that Oscar basically babbled most of the time, and the only word he would say was "mama" to Dana.
"Hey, little Oscar knows my name," said Ray, who was grinning a bigger smile than before.
"Maybe because we've been saying your name over the last few days, he's learned to say it," said Dana.
"Let's try something.
Oscar, can you say Ray again?"
"Ray," went Oscar.
Ray pointed to Dana and asked Oscar,"Who's that?"
"Mama," Oscar replied.
Jeanie leaned over to Oscar and asked,"Can you say Jeanie?"
"Jenni," said Oscar.
"I think I like that better than Jeanie."
"Can you say Winston?" Winston asked Oscar.
"Inston," said Oscar, who had trouble pronouncing the W.
"Close enough."
"How bout my name?" asked Peter.
Oscar responded by giving him a raspberry.
The entire room broke out laughing, until Ray began to feel pain in his rib cage.
"Told you it only hurts when I laugh," said Ray, with slight pain in his voice.
Being that he was the closest to the bed, Egon picked up Oscar out of Ray's arms.
"Egon!" said Oscar, who then gave Egon a kiss on the cheek.
"Awww!' Jeanie,Dana and the other three ghostbusters went and the same time.
A small smile then began to appear onto Egon's face, before he cleared his throat and said in a serious tone returning the infant to his mother and simply said,"Dana."
Egon then returned to Ray, and explained the deal with the cab company, to which Ray agree was a good idea as well.
About an hour or two later, Dr. Marshall appeared in the room.
"You really got quite a fan base here Dr. Strantz," the doctor said with a laugh.
"All for team Ray," said Winston.
"Well, I have good news, we have an open room.
Orderly's just cleaning it up and you'll move Ray in about a half hour or so."
"That's great.
Thanks Doc," said Ray.
And Dr. Marshall kept his word.
About an hour and a half or so later, Ray was moved to a regular room.
Shortly after getting settled in, Winston,Peter Egon,Jeanie, Dana and Oscar were allowed to visit him.
Dana's stay was cut short however, when she had to get Oscar back to her apartment for a nap.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Peter walked Dana and Oscar out to the front doorway of the hospital, and got a came for them.
When the cab with Dana and Oscar left, Peter returned to Ray's room.
Dr. Marshall also came into the room as well, along with a woman about his age, who was trimmed built, wearing a lab coat on top of a black dress and had her blonde hair pinned back in a bun.
"Good afternoon Dr. Stantz, I see you're adjusting well to the change," said Dr. Marshall.
"Yes, thank you doctor," Ray replied.
"Don't get too comfortable though."
"Is Ray getting moved to another part of the hospital?" asked Jeanie.
"Actually, judging by the latest reports and results, it maybe possible that Ray can be released by the start of next week, if he countinues to get rest.
"Really, that's great."
"That's wonderful," said Winston added.
"Yes, from the X-rays I took the other day, I don't see any problems with Ray countinuing his recuperation at home, said Dr. Marshall, As long as he get rest and takes it easy, along with out-paticent physical therapy.
I would say he'll be back up busting ghosts in no time "
"Wouldn't be the same without him," said Peter.
"Thank you once again Dr. Marshall for all you've done, said Egon, If there's anything we can do to in return."
"Yeah, whenever you need us for a bust, we'll give you a discount."
Jeanie,Winston,Egon and Ray all gave Peter a look.
Peter then cleared his throat and said,"OK, all calls are on the house."
"Actually, there is something else you can do, said Dr. Marshall, who then indicated the woman standing next to him and said,"This is my wife Marshall.
She works on the pediatrics floor with the children."
Everyone shook hands with the female Dr. Marshall.
"It's very nice to meet you all.
My husband has told me so much about the case, said Dr. Renee Marshall, What I was wondering from you all will be this request.
A lot of the kids on my floor are such big ghostbusters fans and I was hoping you would come up for a visit."
Without a moment's hesitation, all the ghostbusters gave their answers, which were all the same.
A big yes.
"You bet we will," said Ray.
"For the kids, of course," Winston added.
"Name the date or time, and we'll be here," said Peter.
"Absoultly," Egon added.
