Life and Amnesia

Part 8

After a few weeks of living with the family and discovering his camouflage ability and working on it with all the patterns, but then something new started to reveal itself. Alex started getting sick for some unknown reason.

He was up throughout the night getting sick and being sick after eating. Randall just didn't feel good. He had just recovered from his other problems, now this. What was wrong with him?

They figured it might just be some kind of stomach bug going around. But Ollie was sure she cooked her food just fine, so how could he get it from her food?

But when it didn't go away after more than a week, something was suspected of. Rambo took Randall back to the doctor again. Randall was getting tired of going to the doctor, but his condition had to be checked out.

His symptoms were explained and some blood and urine samples were taken.

Rambo was with Alex in the exam room to make sure everything was going alright and to help his friend in any way possible. He knew Alex was nervous.

"What if the results turn out to be something deadly?" Randall asked.

"We'll see what the doctor advises." Rambo replied.

They hated waiting. But soon, the doctor came back in.

"Well, I have your test results, Alex. But first, I have to ask, have you been sexually active lately?" The doc asked.

Randall's eyes widened. "No. But I don't remember anything."

Rambo realized it was possible. From the scars on Alex, it was possible. "He might have been mistreated by someone from the scars on his wrists and how he was found." He said.

Randall didn't want to think he had been sexually abused. But could it have been possible? "But why does it matter?" He asked.

"There is a high dose of female hormones in your system right now and they match the hormone quality that females go through when they are expecting children." The doctor explained. "And the symptoms match too."

"Wait, you're not saying I'm-? I'm a guy." Randall said. He was getting nervous now.

"It's possible for you. Even males of your kind can get pregnant, Alex. I think we need to do an ultrasound just to be sure."

Randall was shocked silent. So was Rambo. He had no idea. And here was quite the surprise.

Rambo went with Alex to the office of the radiation, but stayed out of the room when Alex was called back for the ultrasound.

Randall nervously went into the room and got on the gurney and laid down on his back. A technician came in and put some gel on his lower stomach and put the wand on it.

Randall could only stare at the ceiling or the walls as he felt the weird feeling of the wand going over his abdomen. He was nervous of what was going to be found.

The tech nurse saw what looked like babies in eggs inside the belly. She had the results and gave them to the doctor.

Randall and Rambo were allowed to leave after and the doctor's nurse would call later with test results.

It was a tedious afternoon for them waiting for the results. Even Ollie found it awkward that they had advised that the problem was pregnancy, and for a male, it usually wasn't possible.

Around four, the phone rang. Ollie picked up. "Hello? Yes. It's for you, Alex." She said.

Randall took the phone. "Hello?"

"Alex, I have your test results. You are pregnant. The doctor wants you to come back in the morning for another exam." The nurse said. "Around nine."

"Thank you." He said and hung up.

The family was curious as he hung up. He had a stunned look on his face.

"Well?" Ty asked.

Randall looked over. "I'm... pregnant." He said.

"How many?" Adrian asked.

"We don't know, son." Rambo said.

"I have to go back for another exam tomorrow." Randall said. "At nine."

It was quite the shock. That night, as he prepared to go to sleep, Randall laid in bed with lower hands on his stomach.

If he was pregnant, who was the father? Would they want to know they were going to be a father? He did want to know.

The next morning, Ollie took Randall in this time. It was more understanding from a female's point of view.

While they were waiting, Ollie said, "I know this is so hard to take in. It's always hard to take something in when it wasn't expected to happen."

"How did you react to your pregnancies?"

"My first one was a little unexpected, but came to accept it. It took Rambo longer. Sure, we planned on having kids, but not for at least three years when we got married. I was pregnant within four months of our marriage. But we both got over the shock and took things as they came." Ollie said. "But the second one was planned out, and not nearly as shocking."

The doctor then came in and said, "Since you are a lizard, Alex, and there looked to be egg formation on the sonogram, I am going to have you have an x-ray just to confirm how many eggs you might be carrying."

Randall was taken down for an x-ray while Ollie waited. He was once again, nervous. He was taken back to the room afterwards.

A little bit later, the doctor came in. "I have the results of the x-ray."

He hung it up on a high lighter board. There, it showed inside Randall's stomach and there were what looked like, three eggs!

Randall couldn't believe he was seeing this. Ollie saw it too. Her friend was having triplets!

"Congratulations, Alex. You're having three." The doctor said.

One was hard to take in enough, but three? He was so shocked he nearly fell over.

"I know this is a shock to you, but I do have some pamphlets that you can take home with you to do some reading on what you might want to do and to help you decide what you want to do." The doc said.

"Thank you, Doctor. I'll help him out." Ollie said. "How far along do they look?"

"About nine weeks."

"Thank you. We'll be going now." Ollie said.

"Take care."

Ollie carried the pamphlets. Randall was just silent all the way home. It was still just a big shock.

It was later told that he was carrying three children.

The boys were all surprised that there were so many. What were they going to do? What would Alex decide to do? It was all up to him what he would want to do with the babies. They were his after all.

It would take awhile for Randall to get over this shock, but in the end, it was all on him what he was going to do for these beings inside him that depended on him for everything right now. Would he keep them, or put them up for adoption? It was a hard decision to make. But also, how long would the pregnancy last? How long to incubate the eggs?

So many questions that needed answers. Just when he might have started on his way to a new life, this was going to either complicate his life or get better.

But with his memory gone, Randall didn't know the first thing about taking care of babies. Ollie gave him the pamphlets to read. He read them that night of his options.

There was keeping the babies, adoption, or abortion. He read what abortion was and didn't want to think about that one. It was one of the other choices.

He couldn't help but wonder if they were males or females. What did they look like? What would he pick for names? A lot would need to be decided.

Randall had a lot of thinking to do. But would he be able to afford these kids? He needed a place to live, an income, and just so much to take care of the babies.
