The Trouble Within

Chap 13

Randall felt better the next day. He felt like eating again and the IV was taken out.

He sat up for the first time and his cloaca still hurt tremendously. But it would heal. When he was standing, he noticed his stomach was still showing some fat, but he didn't feel any weight in it.

He was allowed to walk back to his room. The aid then started closing his door.

"Wait."

"What?"

"What about my eggs?"

"The eggs must remain in the medical ward, maternity section they are to be moved to." She said.

"Why can't they be brought up here?"

"We have more of the resources down there, and with you still being a prisoner, it's just a precaution." She said and left.

Randall hated this. He wanted to be able to see his eggs whenever he wanted. He wanted to be able to keep an eye on them. At least he could see them down there.

Well, all he had to do was wait until tomorrow, or the next day, whenever Sullivan would be back to pay his bail.
.................

Though he was expecting Sullivan to come get him out, that wasn't who he met with a few days later.

The boss guard from the prison came down instead.

"I heard you were expecting bail, Boggs." He said.

"Yes, Sir." Randall said.

"I heard you had the children. Well, now it's time to give them up and come back."

"What do you mean? Don't I get the bail? My sister said I could keep the eggs with me until they hatched."

"Sorry, Boggs, but that isn't going to happen. You are not getting bail. You are going to do your full sentence, but still attend that therapy program. It was decided long ago when you signed the papers that you gave up parental rights as soon as those eggs left your body."

Randall couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"But I want to see them hatch."

"You can see them when your sentence is done. Now we are leaving. Let's go."

When Randall got out of the room, he made a run for it. "No! I don't want to leave them!"

"Get back here, Boggs!" The boss guard ran after him.

Randall only ran for the medical ward. He charged through the doors and to the incubator. He stopped and put his hands on the glass. His two eggs were in there, resting calmly.

"I'm going to miss you two." He said. "I know your Aunt Amanda will take good care of you."

The doors then burst open. The boss and two other monster cops were with him. They approached him slowly.

"It's time to go, Boggs. Don't you harm those eggs." The boss said sternly.

Randall glared at him. "I won't harm them. They are my babies."

"They belong to your sister now. And if she doesn't come claim them in two weeks, they will become the property of the child social services."

"No! I'll call her and make sure she comes and gets them. Please, let me call her."

"Alright, but only if you come away from there."

Randall gave one last look at his eggs and pushed himself away. He came toward them and then the other two guards grabbed him. They each had a hold on one of each side's arms. They pulled him out of the maternity ward.
