About an hour or so past, since the surgery began.
As everyone sat in the waiting room, they all did something to keep themselves occupied.
Ray and Jenny voulenteered to get coffee for everyone at the cafeteria, Jessica and Christopher drew pictures and Grace joined them, Dana feed the twins, with help from her Alice, while Ward played trucks with Oscar and Egon read a book to Lila, who at that moment made a slight face.
He knew that she needed to be changed judging by the face and the hint of odor.
Egon took Lila out of her car seat, grabbed the diaper bag, and was about to head out to the car.
"Egon?" Where are you going?" asked Grace.
"Lila needs to be changed and there's no table in the men's room, so I'm taking her out to the car.
I actually did that yesterday," Egon answered.
"I can take in the ladies room and change her," Jenny offered, who had returned with Ray and several cups of coffee.
"That's OK, Jenny."
"Really, it's no trouble at all.
I take care of my nieces and nephews all the time.
Plus, I also babysit my neighbor's little girl."
"Alright then.
Thank you."
"Actually Egon, this will be go time to come with Dana and I to the hospital chapel," said Grace.
"Uh, I really shouldn't.
Not that I don't want to, it's just I've never been to..pray for," said Egon.
"I think it could do you good Egon," said Dana.
"If you insist, I'll come."
As he handed Lila to Jenny and said, "I'll be back soon Lila.
You be a good for Jenny," Egon gave his daughter a kiss, handed Jenny the diaper bag and went to join Grace and Dana at the chapel.
When the three arrived, Egon and Grace let Dana go inside first.
She thanked them and went into the chapel.
Dana took a seat and began to speak.
"I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm sending out a prayer to you.
Not for me, but for my husband Peter.
He's under going a double kidney transplant."
Tears began to fill Dana's eyes as she went on talking.
"We're still newly weds, not even a year into marriage.
We had welcomed twins a boy and a girl into our lives 3 months ago, and he just adopted my son.
Please, let me make it through and recover.
I know he may not be perfect, but I love him dearly, and I can not imagine my life without him.
Thank you.
Amen."
Dana wiped her eyes, as she exited the chapel and Grace walked in.
After she took a seat at one of the pews, Grace began to speak.
"Dear heavenly Father, hear my prayers.
Not for me, but for my new husband Winston.
He is undergoing surgery to help save a friend's life.
We just wed an hour or so ago.
The two of us grew up together, but lost touch with each for years, until we found one another again.
He's been wonderful with Jessica and Christopher, as if they were his own, or rather ours.
Grace felt her eyes water up, as she talked.
We've just became a family, and I don't want to loss him now.
As we said in our vows, I want him with me through the good times and bad.
I want us to grow old together, and share memories I hope we can make.
So please, look after him and make sure he makes it through.
Thank you.
Amen."
As she was leaving the chapel, Grace wiped her eyes with a tissue.
Egon the took a deep breath and entered.
After taking a seat in a pew, he spoke.
"I know I don't really believe in talking to you, but I need you now.
Not for me, but my wife Jeanie.
She's under going a transplant surgery to help save my friend's life.
Jeanie didn't have to do it, but she wanted to, as she is the kindest most generous person I've ever known.
I never thought I could love anyone until I met her.
She has taught me things I could never learn in a book.
To express my feelings, to laugh, to cry."
Egon felt a lump in his throat as he went on talking.
"We've been married less than a year, and we have a beautiful baby girl, who needs her Mother.
Please, watch over her and make sure she pulls through.
Thank you.
Amen."
Egon wept a few tears before he walked out of the chapel.
When then met Dana and Grace who handed him a tissue.
"Thank you," Egon said in a raspy voice, as he lifted his glasses and dabbed his eyes.
The three then headed back to the waiting room.
"Hello my sweethearts," said Dana, as she greeted Peter Jr, Tabitha and Oscar, giving each one of them a hug.
"How did it go?" Ray asked Grace.
"We all said prayers for Peter's miracle to happen and it did.
Now all we can do is pray for the next miracle to happen," Grace answered.
"I'm sure it will happen."
"I know it will," said Jenny, as she handed Lila back to Egon and said, "Here she is all changed, clean and dry."
"Thank you Jenny, I appreciate it dearly, said Egon, as he gave a small smile to his daughter and said, "There's my baby girl."
"Has the doctor come out?" asked Dana.
"Not yet," Ray answered.
Just then, Dr. Katzenberg appeared.
"Mrs. Zeddemore, Winston's surgery went very well and he's in recovery now," said the doctor.
"Thank god," said Grace as she broke down with tears of relief and joy as she hugged Christopher and Jessica.
"You'll be able to see him in a few hours after we move him to a private room."
"Thank you doctor."
Grace then gave the doctor a hug for taking care of Winston.
Dr. Katzenberg then turn his attention to Egon and said, Dr. Spengler, Jeanie's surgery was a successful one as well and she did great.
Tears of relief trickled down Egon's face as he said, "Thank you doctor.
This means so much to hear those words.
He turned his attention to Lila and said, "Mommy's going to be fine baby girl."
"You can visit Jeanie in a few hours, after we move her to a private room," said Dr. Katzenberg.
"Thank you again doctor," said Egon, as he wiped his eyes.
