This really wasn't supposed to happen.
It was supposed to be a simple job. One of the easier ones you all had gotten hired to do all month. That's what Ray had said to you as you zipped up the front of your uniform in the firehouse, and you believed him.
A customer had called in last week, sounding out of breath as they complained of a room in their house that always felt cold when they walked into it. You could practically smell the incense through the phone, and your suspicions were confirmed when you later stepped into their house.
After Peter had sarcastically made sure it wasn't just a problem with their AC unit, Janine penciled them in for an inspection a few days later, and that was that. You and the rest of the Ghostbusters went to the nearby Chinese restaurant that night and forgot all about it.
Now, you were hiding behind an overturned table as an apparition whizzed over your heads, shrieking in a language none of you could decipher.
"I thought you said this was a class one spook!" You shouted at Egon as he fumbled with a trap nearby. He shot you an irritated look through the rims of his glasses, as if to say 'what am I supposed to do', before going back to tinkering with the trap in his hand.
"Someone's gotta get out there and distract it!" Peter yelled over the noise of plates being smashes. You winced, imagining that the client wouldn't be too happy to hear that their kitchen was ransacked during the procedure. If you could even call it a procedure.
"Ray! You're up!" Winston called from his place next to you, shoving his coworker out of the hiding spot just a little.
"No way! It was my turn last time!" Ray griped. As he said that, a stray fork flew by his head, nearly missing the side of his face as he yelped and ducked further under the tables cover.
"I'll do it." You volunteered whilst reaching for the proton pack at your back. You were sure that if you looked over at that moment, you'd see Ray sending you the most grateful look you'd ever seen.
The others waited for Egon to finish preparing the trap, Peter mostly yelling at him to hurry up, as you rose from your place on the tiled kitchen floor.
The ghost turned to look at you as you let out a wolf whistle. It's hair floated wildly around its head like a crown of thorns, and you heard one of the guys from behind you gulp with difficulty.
"Hey Casper!" You grinned with what you hoped was a considerable amount of bravado. "Why don't you don't you pick on someone your own size?"
You wouldn't remember falling onto your back after the ghost charged straight at you. Nor would you remember how it slimed down into a fine mist, slipping into your mouth with a hissing noise. Bruises covering your spine would leave the evidence of a fall later on, but that was the only sign that anything had happened.
The boys watched as your eyes rolled back to reveal a milky white gaze. Peter nearly dropped the nozzle to his proton pack as you began to levitate; your chest rising and falling at a rapid rate. For a minute, it reminded him of when Gozer had possessed Dana. Although, you were his friend, not fiancé, and wearing a jumpsuit instead of a dress.
"Uh guys?"
"I'm seeing it, Winston." Ray replied without taking his eyes off of you. Wind began to pick up in the house, blowing his hair to the side as he watched you with wide eyes.
"Egon!" Peter yelled over the noise. "The trap??"
"Done!" He finally announced. "Someone hold them down!" The scientist shouted, forehead beaded with sweat as he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. He stood up with shaking hands, nearly dropping the trap as he stepped around the table and towards you.
Ray and Winston both grabbed your arms and legs, pulling you down from your spot in the air with a considerable amount of force. Peter attempted to push you by your chest, but was headbutted by the ghost and sent flying backwards. You, or rather the ghost occupying you, made a sound between a cackle and a scream.
"I've never wanted to punch a ghost more than I do now." Peter groaned from the floor as he hauled himself back up. He'd have to get Dana to check him for a concussion later.
"I need a stream, Venkman!" Egon stepped away from the Muon trap as if it was a live bomb. "Ray, Winston, on our count let go of them and duck!"
"Don't have to tell me twice!" Winston said as he avoided yet another kick from your boot.
The sound of an engine powering up filled the room as Peter and Egon switched on their packs, directing the end of their nozzles at you. The two men glanced at each other nervously and Egon's foot hovered over the traps pedal anxiously. You just continued to flail.
"You sure this won't hurt them?!" Ray yelled. He brought his head back a significant amount as the ghost inside of you attempted to bite at him.
"No idea!" Egon fumbled. His glasses were nearly flying off of his face with the wind, but he pushed on. "Now, Peter!"
Ray and Winston made a dive for it as two multicolored streams encased you in a bright light. The spirit inside howled with discomfort, kicking its legs in an attempt to escape.
Without warning, Egon stepped on the trap, releasing a beam that shot into the air and struck the ceiling. He knew from experience that there would be a faint singe mark left on it later, but that was the least of anyone's concerns. The client would just have to deal with it.
Taking careful measure not to bump your body into any stray debris, they guided the spirit closer and closer to the trap until its form began to separate from yours. The horrible sucking noise it made nearly coerced Egon to drop his gun to cover his ears.
One moment, you were floating in the air, speaking tongues and way too close to a piece of dangerous machinery. The next, you were laying in a pile of broken china plates as your eyes rolled back into place.
"Hey. Hey, bud, come back to us." Peter said, slapping your cheek slightly to bring you back down to earth. He had been the first to drop to the ground next to you, lifting your head up to make sure nothing had scraped it in the fall.
Ray came next from his hiding spot behind a now splintered chair, then Winston's wide eyed form, and finally Egon holding a smoking trap.
"Vitals appear to be steady." Ray said. He pulled his fingers away from the spot on your neck he had been checking, looking at the rest of them. He sighed like a ten pound weight had been lifted off his chest.
"You worry too much Stanz." Peter said, jesting. But his usual playful tone was dampened, and he didn't look up until you groaned.
"Did anyone catch the number of that bus that ran me over?" You hissed, shielding your eyes from a nonexistent bright light.
Silence.
Winston broke out into laughter first, with the rest following suit. Egon smiled as Peter giggled, and Ray was practically rolling on the floor.
"Trauma response." Egon said between baritone chuckles, only able to get one word out at a time. "Surprised this is the first time we're having one."
"Do I even have to ask what happened?" You said while pushing yourself up on your forearms. Winston just shook his head at you, and slapped you on the back.
"We'll tell you back at the firehouse, kid." He said with a shake of his head. You frowned at the nickname, but eventually let a smile crack.
The five of you sat in each other presence for a little bit, letting the laughter die down as the mood came to a stop.
"So—" Peter cleared his throat.
"—who wants to be the one that talks to the client?"
You were left sitting on the floor as they all scrambled to get out, surrounded by broken glass.
"Assholes."

I got a few suggestions. I hope there aren't any duplicates.
Ray Stanz (Ghostbusters)
Ray Smuckles (Achewood)
Cornelius Bear (Achewood)
Moe Howard (The Three Stooges)
Tobias (Animorphs)
Tobias Funkë (Arrested Development)
Ford Prefect (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
Perry Mason (Perry Mason)
Carl (Llamas With Hats)
Pearl Forrester (Mystery Science Theater 3000)
Pearl Fey (Ace Attorney)
Pearl (Splatoon)
Weird edge case question: what if a character is mostly referred to by a nickname, and this nickname is a common first name, but it's derived from their surname? Does that still violate the No Surnames rule?
Thank you for the suggestions! There'll always be duplicates don't worry about it x
Yeah, I think it would, lots of characters are commonly referred to by their surnames but I always include them in the poll that matches their forename, you're welcome to submit the character anyhow and I'll see if I can fit them in anywhere

i love your writing! can i request some more baby fever ray content? maybe about body positivity thank you!
Twins? - Ray Stanz x F!Pregnant!Reader
A/N : Hello! Sorry for getting this out so late. I tried first person narrative on this one, and I think it turned out pretty well. I hope you enjoy it!
Dating a Ghostbuster came with its challenges. Dating a Ghostbuster as well as being his baby mama, that was even more challenging.
Sometimes, I lay awake at night, thanking whoever is up there for not making me knocked up with Peter’s baby, or even Egon’s. I got pretty lucky with Ray.
He was always kind, considerate, compassionate, funny, all the things you would want in a partner. But now, he was working overtime making sure I was comfortable and taken care of.
Now, that’s absolutely great, but there are some things that come with carrying and growing a human that cannot be cured with chocolates and back massages.
I was almost through my first trimester, and all things considered, I was pretty lucky with my symptoms. Morning sickness was minimal, I didn’t have to use the bathroom every five minutes, and I felt all around like myself. However, I experienced the most intense food cravings ever. Once my mind and stomach were set on something, I had to have it. Today, it just happened to be a McDonald’s hamburger.
Peter and Egon were sitting up in the lab when I emerged from the sleeping quarters. I stretched as I walked over to the large couch in the middle of the room, waiting for Ray to return with my food.
“How ya feeling, Y/N?” Peter asked, a big ol’ smirk on his face.
I turned to face him, “How do you think, Venkman?”
“Like you just won Prom Queen.”
I ignored him, turning back around. “Always a pleasure, Peter.”
Egon cleared his throat, “Have you considered the idea of you carrying twins, Y/N?”
“Uh, no. Why do you ask?” I asked, having to turn around once more.
“Your stomach size looks bigger than it should be at this stage. I could run some tests, if you would like.” Egon said.
I looked down at my stomach. Sure, it was a bit bigger than I would have liked, but I was pregnant for Christ’s sake, I wasn’t supposed to be beach body ready.
“I’m good, Egon.” I said, pulling myself out of my thoughts.
“You may be onto something, Spengs. Remember Priscilla from Colombia? Man, she got knocked up a year ago and I ran into her when she was about to pop. You would not know she was even pregnant, she still looked as good as ever. Probably would have thrown a twin in there if she hadn’t told me.” Peter said.
“That’s not how it works, Peter.” Egon said.
Before they could continue their discussion, Ray ran up the stairs, a McDonald’s bag in hand. He was panting as he ran over to hand it to me. I quickly began devouring the hamburger. Ray gave me a smile before joining his two friends at the lab table.
“What’d I miss?” he asked, still trying to catch his breath.
“We were discussing the likelihood of Y/N being pregnant with twins.” Egon explained.
Ray shook his head, “There’s no way. We would have known by now if she was.”
“Then why is she swelling like a balloon?” Peter asked.
“Peter!” Egon whispered at him.
“What? I’m just asking!” he replied defensively.
I looked over at the men and then at the crumbs of what was left of the burger. I was never one to get insecure about my body, but this kid was doing things to me I absolutely despised. I didn’t even notice the tears in my eyes until my vision became blurry. Before I could listen to the men continue to talk about me like I wasn’t there, I stood up, making the three of their heads whip in my direction.
“I’m going to go lay down. Thank you, Ray.” I mumbled, quickly rushing into the sleeping quarters once more.
I could hear Ray say something to Peter before he quickly followed me. The door closed as I threw the covers of me. I could feel Ray’s eyes on me as I lay on the bed.
“Are you alright?” he asked, after a long, awkward silence.
“I’m fine.” I lied.
The weight of the bed shifted as Ray sat at the edge of the bed. His gentle hand rested on my leg. He took a deep breath before speaking, “Just ignore, Venkman. He has zero clue what he’s talking about.”
I sat up, wiping stray tears from my cheeks. “No, he’s right. I’m huge.”
Ray opened his mouth to speak but I interrupted him.
“I always hated women who always talked about how fat they looked when they were pregnant. It’s like, everyone’s fat when they are pregnant, stop whining. But now, I’m feeling like that.” I said, my voice cracking. The emotions I felt didn’t seem so intense until I started letting it all out. I didn’t realize how much I had bottled up.
Ray moved to sit beside me, he placed an arm around my waist. “I think you look beautiful.”
I groaned, “You have to say that.”
He smiled at me, wiping my face with his sleeve. “No, I don’t. I truly think you look beautiful, Y/N. You are so strong, I could never be in your position and still look so amazing.”
I laughed lightly and Ray smiled at me. “I still think you’re full of shit.”
“You can think that, but I will know the truth.” Ray said, not giving up.
I leaned into him, resting my head on his shoulder. “Thank you, Ray. I can’t wait until this baby is out of me so you can be the emotional one again.”
He looked at me, pretending to be offended. “Me? Emotional? Never.”
“Who was the one who cried at the end of “Muppets in Manhattan”? I teased.
“Shut up.” He joked, pulling me closer to him. I snuggled into his chest, smiling as he rubbed circles into my back.
Like many nights before this one, I looked up at the sky and thanked that Ray was in this with me. Thanked that he chose me to do this with. Thanked that I wasn’t alone. And lastly, thanked that I was not Peter Venkman’s baby mama, because then I’d be screwed.

Ray
Ray is, undoubtedly, a very sweet and gentle guy, and that personality definitely translates to your sex life.
But, we also know him to be very cheeky.
He strikes a great balance between the two and it creates a very soft, but very silly environment.
It’s very rarely super serious.
He has a tendency to tickle you and make you laugh, and, honestly, you love it.
Every single one of those moments is simply a physical display of the love and respect you have for each other, and the amount of fun you have together.
But, sometimes, it is serious.
It’s something that usually happens when he goes out with the guys on a hunt and comes within an inch of dying.
It leaves both of you terrified. He doesn’t want to be without you, and you don’t want to lose him.
You’re both selfish in those moments, and neither of you care about it.
Those times are intense and deeply intimate. It serves as a grounding for both of you.
You’re both there, you’re safe, and you’re loved.
He’s the kind to take things slow with you, he likes the tenderness of it all.
Ray is not the dirty talking type, but he’s definitely one for praise.
Praise is something he likes to both give and receive.
He loves the way you blush when he says something like “You look beautiful like this”, and you think the look on his face when you tell him how good he’s doing is simply adorable.
Ray is a tactile man, he likes the ability to experience things through touch. It makes sense, him wanting to feel things, given his line of work.
To that end, he is very handsy.
He likes to run his hands across your sides. It lets him feel the full expanse of your curves.
He thinks it’s pretty cute when you try and call him something like Dr. Stanz, but he thinks just hearing his name out of your mouth is the most beautiful thing.
There are a few things that really rev him up:
Seeing you working on Ecto-1 is one of them
That car is his baby; he made all of those modifications himself! So, seeing you bent over the engine block with a wild head of hair and a socket wrench in your hand is like flooring the gas.
Seeing you in any of his clothes.
He’d never admit it, because he acknowledges he doesn’t own you, but he is kind of possessive.
God, but Ray Stantz is the king of aftercare.
After all is said and done, he’s down to run n grab you a washcloth, water, n slaps on the TV show you guys love watching together.
You also tend to get hungry, so he orders you both takeout from the Italian place down the street.
Following a lot more love, more laughter, and some good food, you’ll fall asleep in each other’s arms, happy as ever.
Tumblr media
Egon
Egon Spengler is a very unique individual.
He is simultaneously very funny and comedic, and very stern.
In the bedroom, you tend to get the very focused, kind of procedural Egon.
However, for as procedural as he is, that is definitely not to say he doesn’t like spontaneity.
He actually loves it. He thinks you do it so well.
You balance one another out very well. 
He’s the one who’s going to plan scenes to act out and find times where you’ll have the most time and the most privacy, where you’re the one who waltzes into his lab with one of his lab coats on and little else.
SCIENCE KINK ALERT WEEWOOWEEWOO
No, but seriously.
Egon’s general scientist kink comes in two main forms:
He loves it when you call him Dr. Spengler.
You say it in a way that’s so coquettish, and it really kicks his heart rate up several notches.
Pair that with the lab coat thing and that is a 10/10 experience for him.
And he enjoys engaging in experiment play.
The man is a scientist, after all.
Experiment play with him usually consists of him trying different things with you and logging your responses.
Heart rate, neurowaves, that sort of thing. You understand maybe 25% of it.
Egon also likes to take things slower.
It’s a faculty of the fact that he does things procedurally.
He’s fairly talkative, but not in the way you’d expect, and it also changes based on the situation.
When he’s the initiator, and especially during your experiments, he asks you a lot of questions.
“How does ‘x’ feel versus ‘y’?” “Do you notice the spikes in your heart rate when I do this?” 
When you’re the initiator, he just says whatever feels right.
When you’re the initiator and he’s not as deep in science-mode, he also has the very cute tendency of lavishing you with complements.
Aftercare is all about connection for both of you. He knows those are great moments for couples to come together and deepen their emotional bond.
He’s big on cuddling afterwards!
One of your sweetest aftercare moments is when you gently remove the glasses from his face and take the time to clear the fog off of them.
He always marvels at the fact that the woman in his life knows him so deeply that she’s aware of how much he hates streaked glasses, and puts in the effort to clean them for him.
When you fall asleep, you always do so with your head on his chest and his arms around you.
You could never have it any other way.

Before I do request I wanted to ask if you have any rules about requests?
Rules about Requests (FAQs):
Who do I write for?
Bill S. Preston, Esquire (Bill and Ted)
Ted Theodore Logan (Bill and Ted)
Ray Stanz (Ghostbusters)
Egon Spengler (Ghostbusters)
Winston Zeddemore (Ghostbusters
Peter Venkman (Ghostbusters)
Ships?
Reader-insert (female, gender neutral) x male character ships.
I do not accept OC’s- I reserve the right to delete these asks if they come in.
Time?
I just graduated from college and have a full-time teaching career.
So requests are not answered in a timely manner (sorry!)
Requests aren’t answered/written chronologically, it’s whatever inspires me at that given time. I know that’s frustrating but I’d rather write the piece when I’m in the right mindset otherwise you may not enjoy it either.
Types of Requests
I can accept any AU! idea you have, song requests, etc.*
*- If you try to request an idea based off a movie/television show, be prepared for the reality that I might not have seen it before and it may not want to watch it. You can still send it in, just be prepared for the reality.
I mostly stick to SFW.
Where else can we find you?
Tumblr tags being a bitch? Here’s my AO3 Page

masterlist | commisions | carrd
• When a flyer for a job downtown mysteriously appeared in your mailbox slot, your first thought was to throw it away
• It looked scrappy. Par on course with the rest of the junk mail companies normally delt out to catch your eye
• Still. Three days later you were standing outside a mildly reevaluated looking firehouse with the paper clutched loosely in your hand, and your best clothes on
• As you’d walked towards the doors, a man came up from behind you, uttering an apology as he nearly bumped into you
• “Hey,” He had paused, allowing you to catch a glance of his tan suit and kinky black hair. “You here for an interview, too?” He asked, walking through the large off-green door as you held it open for him
• “Sure am.”
• “Well, may the best one win. Or get the job, I suppose.” He chuckled with a lopsided grin
• "I dont think they’ll mind hiring the both of us." You eventually responded, looking up at the way the ceiling sagged with old age
• Following your line of sight, the man beside you nodded deeply, and the both of you made your way up to a reception desk with a very annoyed looking lady behind it
• That was the day both you, and who you later learned to be Winston, got the job as the newest pair of Ghostbusters
• “Meet back here tomorrow at noon.” The snappy lady with glasses had said monotonly as she thrust a set of papers at you. You were still looking in the direction that two yelping men in jumpsuits had just gone holding a machine, that it took you a second to notice
• “With the way this job is looking? No way I’m missing tomorrow.”
• Meeting your employers slash coworkers for the first time— technically second if you counted the way two of them crashed your interview mid hiring —was certainly an experience
• Only one had been prepared for both you and Winston’s first days with a handshake and slightly unbuttoned lab coat
• He had introduced himself as doctor Egon Spengler, and shook your hand with a certain rigidness to it. Still, you caught him looking at the both of you with curiosity, so you tossed him an easy upward twitch of you lips. He seemed to relax a little after that
• The other two, however, had proved to be more difficult upon meeting
• Ray Stanz and Peter Venkman were certainly a pair, with the latter sure to be the cause of later headaches, but seemed friendly anyways—if the way they slapped you on the back said anything
• “Welcome to the nerd squad.” Peter has smiled teasingly at you, immediately wrapping an arm around your shoulders and bringing you close as if he was about to tell you a secret. “Stick with me, and you’ll be kicking it with the cool kids!”
• “Is he always like this?” You asked while pushing him away
• “Regrettably.” Egon responded in a flat tone as he moved back to statistics on a chart. “Try being roommates with him in college for six years.”
• “No thanks. I think I’d rather get possessed by one of those ghosts you guys hunt.”
• “Hey, still here!”
• You fell right into place with them pretty quickly after that. Something about getting slimed by a poltergeist in Central Park really brings a group of people together. Especially if they happen to get a really good meal of Thai right after
• In the days weeks and months following your hiring, you get to learn a lot about the little team you’d been squished into
• Winston was probably the first one you befriended. Maybe because the both of you had showed up around the same time, but you found him one of the easiest to just sit down and talk to after a mission without being interrupted every two sentences. The other guys were great, but he seemed to appreciate a little peace and quiet more than what you got in the headquarters
• “Seriously— do we have to call it the headquarters?” You interrupted Peter in the middle of his rant. Sipping on a cup of coffee, you took a moment before speaking more. It really was too early for this. “I mean, come on. It makes us sound like bizzaro superhero’s. More than we already do, anyway.”
• “Personally I wouldn’t mind playing a little Bruce Wayne every now and then.” Peter grinned back suggestively. From beside you, Ego let out his equivalent of an annoyed sigh as he tinkered with stray machinery. Apparently someone else felt it was too early for Peters antics, too
• “Gag me with a spoon.” You deadpanned while swirling your mug around moodily
• “Fine fine. We can call it home base. Happy, sunshine?”
• You grumbled at his sickeningly sweet tone before delving back into your coffee, missing the way Ray and Winston shared slight smiles at the exchange
• “Now that you four are done, mind helping me with our actual jobs?”
• “Oops. Yeah. Sorry Egon.”
• “Sigh.”

How about ray x pregnant!reader? Like, the first ultrasound where they see their baby for the first time through a sonogram? I just want more cute family man!ray tbh
Baby Fever - Ray x F!Pregnant!Reader
A/N : Here you go! I hope you like it, I've never written anything with a pregnant reader so I hope I did alright haha. I also love family man Ray, he's the cutest <3 Word Count : 735
“Do you have the bag?”
“Yes, Ray.”
“Did you take your vitamins today?”
“Yes, Ray.”
“Do we-“
“Ray!”
Ray stopped and looked at his three month pregnant girlfriend. He was obviously nervous, every muscle on his face gave him away. She, however, looked calm and relaxed.
Y/N stood up and placed a hand on his face, he leaned into her touch. “It’s just a check up, I’m not giving birth. Now, will you please get in the car so we can drive there?”
Ray exhaled deeply, “You’re right, I’ll go get the car.”
He walked downstairs and Y/N laughed softly to herself. She always knew was great with kids, she met him when he was working birthday parties as a Ghostbuster. So it seemed like fate when her nephew said he was full of crap. She apologized to the handsome man and everything else is history.
They’ve only been dating a little under two years, but they were both reaching their late thirties and were looking to settle down. Y/N always thought she’d be married before she’d start a family, but with Ray, it didn’t matter.
As Y/N got lost in her thoughts, the car pulled into the garage. She walked downstairs and stopped in her tracks when she saw Ray standing by the Ecto-1.
He laughed nervously, “I couldn’t help it, I love driving it.”
Y/N smiled at her love, “Eh, it’s alright. It’ll come in handy when I go into labor and we have to haul ass to the hospital.”
Ray extended his hand out to, holding her as she walked down the last two stairs. He opened up the passenger’s door for her and closed it gently after she sat down. He was always a gentleman, but he has been extra loving and caring with Y/N ever since she found out she was pregnant. At the drop of a hat, he would run out to get her whatever food she was craving. He would hold back her hair and rub her back when morning sickness overtook her. He was a doting boyfriend and would most definitely be a doting father.
He drove carefully to the OB/GYN, braking gently at every light instead of trying to make it before it turned red. They were both silent in the car, both being a little nervous. Ray was assuming the worst, expecting to hear that something was wrong with the baby.Y/N, on the other hand, was not looking forward to having things well, to put it delicately, shoved inside her.
They reached the doctor’s and they got funny stares when they exited the car. Which made sense since the Ghostbusters had been out of commission for the last year. Ray opened every door for Y/N and waited nervously as she filled out paperwork. About ten minutes passed until they were finally called back. He blocked out most of the routine stuff, he was just trying to make time go by faster so he could see the ultrasound.
The ultrasound technician entered, “Ms. L/N?”
Y/N awkwardly waved, “That’d be me.”
“Right, how are you feeling?”
“Fine.” Y/N replied.
Ray tuned out the conversation, mainly just watching Y/N’s expressions as she talked and got ready for the ultrasound.
“Alright, Dad, we’re gonna start the ultrasound now.” the technician said to Ray.
He was still zoning out.
Y/N tapped him on the arm, his whipped around the room. “Is the baby alright!”
She smiled at him, “She’s about to start the ultrasound.”
“Oh! Great!” Ray said excitedly.
He leaned in close and held Y/N’s hands as her lower stomach was covered in cold goo. The technician began moving the small wand across her stomach. The couple looked at the small screen, looking for their baby.
The technician pointed at a black shape on the screen. “There’s your baby.”
Ray gasped quietly, smiling at the screen. Y/N looked up at her boyfriend, she too was smiling. Tears welled up in Ray’s eyes as he watched the small shape move on the screen.
“That’s our baby.” he whispered to Y/N.
“That’s our baby.” she repeated.
He leaned down and gently kissed her, his tears dripped onto their lips, making the kiss taste salty. Neither of them cared, their baby was in front of them and they wouldn’t have it any other way.

Winter in New York - Ray x Reader
Prompt : The firehouse is too cold to stay in. The Ghostbusters decide to stay at a hotel for the night, but what happens when there’s only a certain amount of beds? 
A/N : Thank you to @maraudermap000 for sending me request ideas, you’re the best <3 
Word Count : 1789 (yikes) 
The winters in New York were always freezing, and this year was no exception. The cold temperatures began to seep into homes and places of work, no matter how high the heaters were turned up. The Ghostbusters firehouse was no exception. Normally during an average work week, they are all working non-stop, whether it was in the lab or out catching ghosts. This week, zero work was getting done. They would begin to work, going about their usual tasks, but then the cold would begin to take effect, making everyone so cold they were unable to work. The time  Egon or Ray would spend performing experiments in the lab was now being spent passing out extra blankets and jackets. On a normal day, Peter would charm the customers who came to him with their ghost problems, he is now going on hot coffee runs for the group.
Y/N entered the freezing building, two bags of thick blankets under each of her arms. She passed Janine’s desk, which was empty. With the cold making the working environment unbearable, she was given time off until they came up with a proper way to regulate heat throughout the building. She quickly checked Venkman’s office, making sure she didn’t miss him. His office was also empty. Y/N was beginning to wonder where everyone was until there was a loud thud from upstairs, and her question was answered. 
She could hear a muffled argument between Peter and Ray as she walked up the stairs. Luckily, the upstairs was slightly warmer than the downstairs, but it was still freezing nonetheless. When she reached the upstairs living quarters, she saw Ray trying to grab something from Peter and he was failing miserably. 
As she placed the two bags at her feet, she yelled, “What the hell are you two doing?” 
Ray looked over his shoulder, still hot Peter’s trail, “He’s trying to start a fire in the middle of the room!” 
Y/N looked at Peter puzzingly as he ran to stand behind her. In his hands was a crumpled mess of papers and a box of matches. He leaned close to her ear, “It’s foolproof, we live in a retired firehouse, there’s no way this place will burst in flames.” 
She reached behind her, catching Peter off guard, grabbing the makeshift fire-kit from his hands. “We are not starting a fire, no matter how cold it is. Plus, I just brought a million thick blankets for us to keep warm.” 
Egon came out from the lab, “Blankets won’t be enough, we need to stay somewhere else for the night.” 
“I’m not staying in one of those cheap motels, Spengs. I am royalty and should be treated as such.” Peter said sarcastically. 
“Why don’t we stay at the Sedgewick? They owe us anyway.” Ray suggested. 
“Good idea, Ray. I’ll pack up my things, I suggest you do the same.” Egon said before leaving the room. 
They each scattered to throw miscellaneous items in backpacks. Ray overpacked, somehow managing to fill an entire suitcase for a one night stay. As he crammed his large back into the back of Ecto-1, Peter finally came down stairs. To Y/N’s surprise, he wasn’t carrying a bag. 
“Where’s your stuff, Peter?” Y/N asked. 
Peter dug into his jacket pocket and pulled out a toothbrush, a pair of boxers, and a box of cigarettes. “I’m good for at least three days.” 
Y/N shook her head in disgust and entered Ecto-1’s passenger seat. She sat and waited for Ray to start the car, he was still struggling with his suitcase. Y/N turned her head back around to Peter and Egon. “Do you think there’ll be enough space for us there?” 
“If there’s not, we’ll stage a haunting in one of the rooms and split the beds. I personally wouldn’t mind bunking with you, Y/N. I’ve always imagined what you look like in your pajamas.” Peter said suggestively. 
“We live together, Peter. You’ve seen me in my pajamas countless times.” Y/N said, unimpressed with his attempted flirting. 
“I’ve never seen Y/N in her pajamas alone, there’s a big difference, baby. Once we’re alone in nothing but our tighty-whitey’s, you won’t be able to resist the Venkman charm.” 
“The chance of Y/N engaging in sexual intercourse normally is 15%, but it’s probably closer to 20% due to the cold weather.” Egon said, staring down at his calculator. 
Peter began to laugh and Y/N’s cheeks turned bright red. Ray finally managed to fit his suitcase in the car and sat in the driver’s seat. 
“So, what’d I miss?” he asked, starting the car. 
Y/N looked forward, her cheeks still flushed, “Just drive.” 
The car ride was short but uneventful. The occasional conversation broke out but it normally ended with Peter making everyone in the car uncomfortable. The cycle continued until they pulled outside the Sedgewick Hotel. It felt strange to not walk in uniform, they’ve never been to the hotel on non-business related trips. The four of them walked to the front desk. 
Peter dinged the bell to get the receptionist’s attention, “We need four rooms.” 
“I’m sorry, we’re fully booked, sir.” The receptionist said without looking up. 
Peter tapped his hand on the desk, getting her attention finally. “Honey, we’re the Ghostbusters, can’t you just fit us in somewhere?” 
He was really working his charm, the receptionist couldn’t resist and began to blush. She looked through her files and held a sheet up. 
“I can manage two rooms. Each room has one bed though, but there is a couch in the rooms as well.” She explained, following by handing over two keys. 
“Thank you, I owe you.” Peter said, winking at the blushing woman. 
They stepped away from the desk and huddled together. Peter handed a key to Ray and kept one for himself. 
“I assume Y/N and I will be bunking, have fun boys!” Peter said, trying to drag Y/N with him. 
She pulled away. “No way. I’m not staying with you.” 
“Well, seeing you're the only girl, Y/N, how about you choose who you would like to bunk with?” Ray suggested. 
Y/N looked at the three men. Peter would be absolutely awful to bunk with but he would be entertaining, and would probably leave to go to the hotel’s bar to hit on women. Egon would be a respectful roommate, but she can’t handle his mumbling when he works. Ray seemed like the best choice for the time being, he was the happy medium between the two other men. 
“I’ll bunk with Ray.” 
“I’m hurt, Y/N/N, I thought we had something. You’re gonna leave me with Spengler?” Peter complained. 
“We shared a dorm in college, Peter.” Egon said. 
Peter groaned, “Come on, Egon. Let’s go find our room.” 
Egon waved goodbye to the two remaining adults and followed Peter. You could hear them bickering as they neared the hotel. Ray looked at Y/N and blushed. “I’m gonna go park the car and bring my things up, do you need anything while I’m gone?” 
She shook her head and smiled at him. “I’m fine, I’m just going to get settled into the room. It looks like we’re on floor 17, room F.” 
Ray nodded and left to park the car. Y/N was grateful that she knew the layout of the hotel pretty well, otherwise she would probably be lost in the huge lobby. She got on the elevator and got flashbacks of her first time visiting the hotel, her first ever ghost hunt, or would bust be more appropriate? She can still remember Ray’s excitement when they tracked Slimer’s every move and how his face lit up when they finally caught him. She smiled as she remembered his expression when he held the steaming trap. 
The elevator doors opened and she found the room quickly, enjoying the wave of heat she felt when she opened the room’s door. She looked around the small but clean room. Her eyes landed on one bed, just like the receptionist said, but she was having trouble finding the couch she promised. Eventually, she saw a small armchair by the window. Surely this wasn’t the “couch” she was referring to, right? 
Moments later, Ray knocked on the door. Y/N opened it quickly and let him inside. He dragged his suitcase over to the end of the bed and looked around the room. 
“Where’s the couch?” he asked. 
Y/N pointed to the armchair, “That’s it.” 
“Oh, well. It’s a bit small, but it will manage.” Ray said, beginning to drag his suitcase to the chair. 
Y/N laughed, “Ray, you are not sleeping on that thing. We’ll share the bed. We’re adults, we can handle it.” 
Ray looked hesitant but he saw Y/N was serious, so he dragged his large suitcase back to the edge of the bed and sat on the bed awkwardly.
They both got into doing their nightly routines. Y/N did her skincare while Ray smoked his evening cigar. They made conversation here and there but when there was silence it was comfortable, not awkward. 
The clock on the nightstand read “11:09” and Y/N made her way to bed. Ray was sitting on the armchair, trying to blow his cigar away from the bed. Y/N smiled as she watched him carefully smoke and then blow the air through the window crack. 
About five minutes later, Ray joined Y/N in bed. They were each on opposite sides of the bed, trying not to touch another. When Ray leaned over to turn out the light, his arm grazed Y/N’s side. They shared a laugh and lay in the darkness. 
Ray could feel Y/N shiver next to him. He spoke up, “You can come a little closer if you would like, you seem cold.” 
“I’ll be fine.” Y/N said. 
“Oh come on, I’ve been told I’m like a human teddy bear.” He joked. 
Y/N turned over and could make out Ray’s smile in the darkness. She reluctantly scooted closer to him, her head was now on his chest. She listened to him breath and slowly closed her eyes. With every one of Ray’s breaths, Y/N grew more comfortable and eventually wrapped one of her arms around his stomach. 
“Was I right?” Ray joked, draping his arm over Y/N’s, their fingers touched. 
“Goodnight, Ray.” Y/N mumbled, ignoring his question. 
Ray laid there and felt himself drifting off to sleep as well. The last thing he felt before sleep overtook him, was Y/N lacing her fingers with his. With that, he fell asleep, warm at last.
