Randall's Love

Part 17

Hallie went to work the next day announcing the birth of her son. Many of the other monsters were so happy for her.

Some others said that the daycare could take care of the baby while she was working.

"No, that's fine. I have a good babysitter at home watching him." She said.

While Hallie worked, it gave Randall time to give to his son. Playing and feeding him and putting him down for sleeping.

Blake had slept for a little while during the night, but had woken them both up when they first heard him crying. The parents knew this was going to be hard at first, but would get used to it.

But as Hallie knew, if Randall went to jail later, her parents might be able to take care of Blake, or she could bring him to work with her. That might be best. But she knew her parents would want to meet their grandson soon.

On the silent side, Sulley asked her how Randall had taken the birth.

"He did great. I wasn't home when he hatched. He helped him out of the shell when he was having problems getting out."

"What's his name?"

"Blake."

"Who does he look like more?"

"More like his dad, but has a mix of our markings and my pink tail color. He has Randall's fronds and green eyes too."

"I'd love to meet him sometime."

"And you will."

"But don't forget what you two promised. Now that Blake has hatched, Randall needs to turn himself in."

"We haven't forgotten. And he will. Soon."

Hallie hated this. That Randall would have to face such punishments and he had a son at home to take care of. He was already a good parent even though the baby was only less than a full day old.
.................

She went home that night and talked to Randall about what he needed to do.

"I'll spend this week with you and Blake and next week I'll go. I know it's going to be hard and I'll stick to my word. I just want the first full week with my son." He said.

They held each other. They would try to spend as much time together as a family this week.
.................

The week finally ended. The weekend came and went. Hallie had Blake with her and Randall along for the ride. She drove him to the police station. This had been waited on for so long and it had been a promise.

Randall kissed both his girl and son goodbye. "We'll see each other again soon." He said.

"I love you." Hallie said.

"Love you too. Blake too."

Hallie hated to drive away. Randall hated seeing her go.

He turned and looked at the precinct. He took a deep breath and slowly went inside.

Randall walked in and it looked so busy. He felt like he was about to lose his breakfast. He wished he didn't have to do this. He walked up to the counter.

A cop was sitting there doing paperwork. "Yes?" He said.

"I... I'm Randall Boggs, turning myself in."

The cop looked up. He had seen the pictures of the lizard criminal. Indeed, he was looking at the criminal right now.

It didn't take long for it to be announced and Randall soon found himself in cuffs. He was booked up and prepared to be put in the system. And the CDA was notified that Randall had been apprehended.
