Outside the nursery, Janine stared at all the healthy new infants through the glass. She looked up to see all the fathers making silly faces at their babies, and she wondered if Jake would be able to do the same.
“Janine?”
She spun around, startled out of her musings. “Oh. Hi Egon.” She turned back to gaze at the children. “How’s Jessica.”
“Not good I’m afraid.”
Jessica glanced at the fathers again, and her face fell. “I’m sorry to hear that. And Jake?”
“Not taking it very well.”
“Yeah. Yeah, I guess not.”
They stared at the newborns in silence for a while. Egon spoke first. “I was worried. Are you all right?”
“No.” She did not hesitate to answer.
He sighed and took off his glasses to clean them against his jumpsuit. “No. I suppose none of us are.”
She nodded absently. She didn’t look at him as she replied. “I’m scared, Egon.”
“I know Janine, but we must not give up hope that Jessica and the triplets will be fine.”
“I haven’t. That’s not why I’m scared.” She turned to face him. “Do you love me Egon? I mean are you truly and completely in love with me?”
“Of course I am. I love you to distraction. I would gladly lay down my life for you.”
“Yes Egon, but what then? What happens to me after you lay down your life?”
“What . . .?”
“It’s a crazy world, Egon, and you haveery ery crazy job with a lot of risks. I’ve watched all of you guys get hurt. I’ve been hurt. Dana’s been hurt. Oscar’s been in danger.” She swiped absently at a few errant tears. “Jake and Jessica’s relationship is at the highest level of proclaiming their love for each other. They got together, got engaged, got married, and got pregnant. Now they may lose it all. I couldn’t go through that Egon, having everything we ever wanted just to lose it all. I’m sorry I was so harsh the other night, and I know I said that I felt you were only proposing because of the extreme circumstances, but the truth is, I was scared. Tomorrow isn’t promised to any of us and I don’t want to have everything just to lose you.” She turned away again, wiping tears with her palms.
Egon placed a hand on either side of her face, turning it towards him. He used his thumbs to gently wipe away her tears, and lowered his head to kiss her tenderly. “Janine, if we don’t get engaged and something happens to me or to you, do you think that the one of us who survives will feel any better about it?”
“No. But . . . ”
“No ‘buts’. You are correct in that tomorrow is not promised to us, but I think we would regret it more if we didn’t try to have everything we can out of our life together while we still can. I know that I love you, and I know that I want to marry you. We’ve wasted so much time already, you said it yourself. I promise you that I thought long and hard about why I was proposing when I bought the ring. I finally realized that although the recent incidents were what propelled me to the jeweler, it was my love for you that made me buy the ring. I am just as terrified as you are of facing the days to come. Let us face them together . . . as our future.”
She looked lovingly into his eyes, and then smiled. She reached into her purse, producing the ring box. She handed it to him and said, “Let’s try this again Dr. Spengler, from the top.”
