Randall's Love

Part 10

In the human world, when Randall had gotten away and learned a little about just trying to stay alive, he had much thinking to do. He mainly just raided the trash or chicken coops for eggs.

At one point, he had let his hurt feelings out by crying and that he knew he did regret what he had done. But more than anything, he knew he had taken Hallie for granted for too long. He had to find a way back to her. He loved her.

"When I get back, I'm going to ask her to marry me." He said to himself. He was looking up at a full moon.

Randall was just even lucky to be alive after the beating he had took and he had some ugly wounds on his face and head. He had a broken arm and broken leg from the incident too.

He had made splints the best he could. Now he just had to concentrate on finding enough food and water to take care of himself while out here. But he vowed he would return and marry Hallie. He wasn't about to give up on her. He would do anything to make it up to her.

He knew that he could return to being the monster that she fell in love with. It had just been the pressure from Waternoose and making that machine that had made him snap more than anything, other than Sullivan being the number one scarer that everyone loved.

But first, he had to find a child's room and get back through the closet. He wasn't going to give up.
..................

At five months along in the pregnancy, Celia and some other females from Monsters, Inc threw Hallie a baby shower for her little one. She had made many friends at the factory. She loved the attention she was getting, but she still wished the father of the child could share in this attention too. Her mother was also at the shower to assist her.

She got a crib, diapers, toys, books, lullaby tapes, a name book, a rocking chair, changing table, a carrier, a stroller, and an incubator. So many things she would need for the baby.

When she had learned of Randall's banishment, she told her parents and they were the ones who were mostly helping her out now.

She thanked everyone for the great gifts for the baby. Many of them asked if she did have a name in mind yet.

"No, not yet."

Hallie couldn't help but wonder though how Randall was doing wherever he was. Was he okay? Was he getting enough food? She was still worried for him. But more than anything, she couldn't help but wonder what would his reaction be if he ever found out he was going to be a dad?

She had always wanted to meet his family. After the baby shower, she looked up the last name of Boggs.

There was a Ned Boggs in the phone book, other than Randall.

Nervously, Hallie called up the phone number. It was still the weekend.

There were a few rings, but a male voice picked up. "Hello."

"Hi, is this Ned Boggs?"

"Yes. Who is calling?"

"You don't know me yet, but my name is Hallie Norman. I was friends with your brother, Randall. He always said that he would talk to you again. Did he ever do that?"

"I haven't heard from him in a long time. He said he didn't want to talk to us again. So what do you need from us?" Ned asked.

"I have always wanted to meet you guys. Would that be alright?" Hallie asked.

There was a pause on the other end. "Um, I need to talk this over with my wife and I could get back to you. What's your phone number?"

Hallie gave him her number. "Again, I would love to meet all of you. Goodbye."
