The Trouble Within

Chap 19

Mrs. Bing took Randall home the next day. It was now Monday and he was missing work. He was sure Amanda was either there, or at home waiting for him.

It was a good long drive to Monstropolis. But Randall was glad to be back where he belonged and he wouldn't have to worry about Stanton anymore.

Randall and Mrs. Bing rode in the elevator to the floor where Amanda lived. He knocked on the door, and sure enough, Amanda answered. She had wanted to be there when he got home.

"I called work saying we couldn't come in today, Randall. But it's so good to have you home. Thanks, uh?"

"Mrs. Bing, Darling." The elderly female monster said. "You must be Randall's sister. It's so nice to meet you."

"Thank you for bringing him home to me and his kids. Come in." Amanda said.

Randall and Mrs. Bing went in.

Amanda noticed that Randall had a hurt leg. "What happened to you?"

"It's a long story." Randall said.

"Well, I have to hear it all, guaranteed that the police might be interested in knowing too. You are still on parole, little brother."

"I know, big sis. Stop reminding me of it. Like I said, it wasn't my fault. Stanton came and took me again. He wanted to do the same thing as last time and he wanted the twins. Course he didn't know there were twins. And he, did it to me again." Randall said sadly.

"Randall, I'm, I don't know what to say, but I'm sorry. We need to get you to the hospital to be looked at. Thanks again, Mrs. Bing for bringing him home."

"No problem, Dear, but before I go, could I meet the little darlings? I had met Randall back when he carried the babies. I sure would like to meet them."

"Sure, real quick. This way." Amanda said and she and Randall led her to the baby's nursery.

Randall was happy to see his kids again. What he had done was for their own protection.

"This is Lori." He introduced his daughter to his friend.

"She is so darling."

And moments later, "This is Jason." Amanda said.

"And I heard there was another little one that lived here as your son?"

"Rex, yeah. He's in school right now, but I can show you a picture of him." Amanda said.

The twins were left to their nap and the adults went out to the living room again. There was a family picture on the wall and Mrs. Bing saw the little orange lizard known as Rex.

"He is so adorable too. Where's his father?"

"He left me before Rex was born. He wasn't much for children. But Rex gets the orange color from his father. That's the only thing he has in common with him. A lot of other things he mostly gets from his Uncle Randall here." Amanda playfully nudged him.

Randall smirked, and winced.

"Well, thank you for letting me meet the kids and you, Miss Amanda. I should be going so you can get Randall to the hospital." Mrs. Bing said.

"Thanks again for helping me out." Randall said.

"We are in your debt." Amanda said.

"Think nothing of it. Just glad to help. Goodbye now." She said and left.

Randall and Amanda went about getting the twins ready for a trip and they went to the hospital.

Amanda waited with the babies while Randall was taken back to be examined.

Randall was asked all sorts of personal questions and he was poked and prodded on. A doctor felt on his stomach to see if there was anything yet. He felt nothing. The leg was then examined and it was just strained. An ace bandage was put on it and he was told to apply some ice to it a few times a day.

Then came the internal exam and there were still signs of the rape left intact, though there was very little semen left.

The doctor then asked, "If a pregnancy results, do you want to keep it or end it?"

"I already have two kids to care for. No, I want to end it, but is there a way to prevent it from progressing further?" Randall asked.

The doctor left and returned. He had a package in his hands. "This pill should help to end a possible pregnancy. Let's take it right now."

Randall was given some water and he was given the pill.

He gladly downed the pill and water. He hoped it would help prevent another pregnancy. "And this is found to be effective?"

"Yes. Very small percentage that it doesn't. But just watch yourself in the coming weeks. If something happens, we could still terminate it."

If something did happen further on, Randall knew he would want to. He didn't need this happening again. Though there was a small chance he wouldn't.

Randall was released and he would be able to return to work the next day, but he still should apply that ice to his leg.

Amanda asked if anything was found and he said yes. He was given an emergency birth control pill to hopefully prevent anything further.

They went home for the rest of the day and waited for Rex to come home, who when he got home, was happy to see his uncle again. And Randall promised he would make up the park trip to Rex.
...................

The next day, Randall was back at work, doing the work in the cafeteria. He limped on that leg, but it was doing much better. He didn't let it hold him back from doing his job.

Sullivan had asked what had happened.

"Stanton took me away again. He wanted the same thing as like last time. At least he didn't hold me captive for three months because I managed to escape." Randall said.

"Well, I'm glad you're alright for the most part." Sulley looked at the leg.

"It's fine, Sullivan. Just a small price for the escape."

"So how did you get home?"

"Mrs. Bing brought me home. Someone I met awhile back. And she met the twins."

Sulley allowed him to resume his shift.
................

A few days later, Randall was at his parole meeting. At least he hadn't missed this.

He explained what had happened to him.

"So where is Paul Stanton now?"

Randall explained around the location and said he had a cabin out in the woods. A hunting cabin. He said how he had been held captive there the one time before he was found pregnant.

The police would investigate Randall's information and Stanton's whereabouts. The lizard had been the only witness to where Stanton was.

But Randall never told them either about what really happened. He knew he would live a lie, but his kids needed him. He knew they would be sure to find Stanton's body.

Randall was allowed to leave.
................

Some days later, it was shown on the news that Paul Stanton had been found at the bottom of a cliff. Randall was real tense when he saw it.

Amanda noticed.

It was said that he had fell down a steep hill and off the cliff. Randall's information at least of around where to find Stanton had been verified.

"What's wrong, Randall?"

Randall flinched at his name. "Just the mention of Stanton's name is just creepy after all he did to me. I'm just glad he won't be bothering me anymore. He would stop it nothing to have me in his possession."

"I wouldn't want him to have harmed you anymore or the kids if he found out about them. At least you lied to him about the kids for their own protection."

"Yeah, I did."

Only now was he feeling guilty about the lie of what he had had to do to stop Stanton from causing anymore damage. He knew he would live with this for the rest of his life.
