It had been a long day for our heroes. Ray climbed out of Ecto soaked in slime.

"I hate this it's usually Peter that gets slime. Why was it me this time"
"Now you know how I feel." replied Peter.

Egon shook his head. "While you too children fight I'm going to take this monster down and put it in the containment unit. I'm really glad we brought the destabilize with us"
"We're not fighting." Ray snapped which surprise the others. "I don't need this I 'm going to take a shower."

Peter shook his and decided to join Egon in the basement, while Winston read his mystery book. When suddenly they heard Ray, scream .Peter and Egon ran up the stairs.
"So help me if Captain Steels been cancel again and that's why Ray screamed I'm going to clobber him." said Peter.
"Not of I do it first," replied Egon The guys rushed upstairs to see why Ray screamed.

"Ray, what's wrong?" Winston asked. "Did Captain Steel get cancelled again?" Peter demanded. "Tell us, Raymond." Egon said.

"No, worst Ray said, panicking . "
"Ray? What's wrong?" Winston asked.

Ray slowly lifted his sweater to show the guys his stomach.

"See take a look"
Peter stared and then scratches his head. "So you gained your weight back. It's nothing to scream about"
Egon stared more closely. "Oh my ..."

"Yeah I know." said Ray sadly.

"Know what?" demanded Winston.

Ray looked away Egon understood that Ray was embrassed as well as scared "Do you want me to tell them"
"You may as well." Ray murmured.

"You better tell us Egon." Peter said, "What's wrong with Ray"
"Gentlemen, as strange as it might seem, I believed Raymond is going to have a baby"
"He's what?" Winston and Peter said together.
"Guys, I'm pregnant." Ray said, turning red in the face. "Pregnant?" Peter and Winston said together.
How can that be? I thought only women got pregnant." Winston said.

"Yes that is true." Egon replied but I believe that a pregnant ghost may have possessed Ray. But I won't know till I run a few test"
"Oh that's just great, first Egon gets turned into a baby and now Ray is going to have one. Why can't things ever be normal here?" said Peter.
"That's just life Pete," replied Winston.
"No it's not Winston. Egon, Ray can't be pregnant. What will the neighbors say"
"I can always go away till the baby is born."

"Ray you can't have a baby. You don't have a womb."

"Peter he can always have a C- section." Egon said.

"Egon. You are talking as if it is possible. He can't have a baby. He doesn't even have a womb." Peter protected.
Egon stared long and hard at Ray. "I believed he does now."

"This is not for real. I'm out of here." Peter cried as he threw his hands in the air.

"Peter, where are you going?" Ray asked concern.

"I'm not sure but anywhere but here"
They looked at each other as Peter left the room.
Ray shook his head as he slowly sat down on his bed

"Peter mad at me." he said sadly "No he's not Ray. He is just confused.
"Why Winston? He's not the one whose going to have a baby "I know man. But he's just a little upset right now." Winston said sympathetically. Then he turned back to Egon

"Egon, go talk to Peter. I'll stay with Ray"
"Okay. I shall try." Egon replied while nodding his head.

Egon found Peter outside. "Come on Peter instead of sulking .Why don't you come in and help me figure out what happened?"

Peter looked at Egon. "What can I do?"

"We know this is not a normal pregnancy so we need to find out how it happened. I need to run a few test and I want your help."

"Okay." Peter said, "What do you want me to do?" Egon said, "Come with me down to the lab and I'll show you." Peter nodded and replied "Okay Spengs." They both return to the firehouse. Winston greeted then and asked. "Are you all right now, Pete?"

Peter nodded again, "Yeah I'll live, but this is going to be weird."

Ray sat on the stool with wires hook up to him. "Egon did you find anything?"

"I believe I may have. Ray I believed that when you got slime by that class seven, she laid her egg in you."

Peter grabbed Egon. "Do you mean Ray is caring that ugly purple polka dot slimy monster's baby"
Egon lifted his glasses back on his face. "I believed that what I said."

"Oh I see." Peter said. It's really clear to me now Egon." "Why did that ghost have to lay her egg inside of Ray?" Winston asked.
"I believed it's a case of Ray being in the wrong place at the wrong..."

Egon never got to finish his sentence when Ray left out a scream of pain. They all rush over to him.

"It's hurts!" Ray cried as he doubled over and grabbed his stomach.
Egon quickly checked Ray over, and then went into action. "Peter get Janine Winston boil some water. Ray having this baby, and he's having it now!"

"I can't be its too early." Ray said through gaps of pain.

"Take it easy Ray. It's going to be all right." Egon said as he helps Ray out of the lab and into his bed. Peter soon returns with Janine.

"What do you want me to do Egon?" She asked.
"Talk to Ray, keep him calm."

Janine nodded as she sat down at the head of Ray's bed. Ray tried to smile at her but he couldn't. Winston soon returns with the water.
