Chapter 1: Connected

Cheryal's POV

You all may know me as Dr. Cheryal Boggs, PhD in surgical emergencies and medicine. I am the best surgeon in all of Monstropolis, despite what my rivals would like to think. I've known to save countless lives, make the impossible possible and to my family, be the most hardworking mom I could be. But there is one thing that most people don't believe, or some do, is that I am Randall Boggs' mother. Well, some see it as because we have the same skin color, we both were glasses and Randall has picked up several traits from me, especially my short temper. But despite that we are mother and son, I am not his actual mother. No. My partner and I adopted him. But what most people don't know, is that before we adopted Randall, we had a special connection to him. And this is that story...

The year was 1975 in the cold month of November. I was busy filling out paperwork when I heard a commotion coming from the entrance of the hospital. I looked up to see a reoccurring attendant. It was Sylvia VonFang. Sylvia was a blue chameleon reptilian monster with a short crown, six arms and legs and brown eyes. She was leaning against her husband, Fredrick VonFang. Fredrick was a purple reptile with four long fronds , two arms with claws on his three fingers and a snake-like body. I fought back a moan when I saw them.

"What? What is it, Cheryal?" Tamera asked.

Tamera is a nurse that works along side me. She was a tall lean lime-green skinned monster with three eyes, a triangular shape body with long arms and legs. I didn't turn to look at her, my eyes on the two reptilian monsters.

"It's Sylvia and Fredrick again."

"Oh great," she moaned. "I thought last time we had gotten rid of them."

"Apparently not. Let's just make the best of this and hope that they haven't brought drugs on them, again." I forced a smile when I saw the two reptiles come over. "Sylvia, Fredrick, so good to see you again. How can we help you?"

"We're having an egg, so we came in for a doctor's appointment." Fredrick explained.

"Oh, well congratulations. Just take a seat and the doctor will be with you shortly."

As the reptiles took their seats, I went back to filling out my paperwork. I kept a wary eye on them, to make sure they didn't do anything disruptive and stupid. I didn't have to wait long because their doctor came out. As they went back, Tamera and I started chatting. Our conversation, however, took a turn towards Sylvia and Fredrick.

"I can't believe they're having an egg!" Tamera exclaimed.

"I know but we can't do anything about it."

"Those two shouldn't be parents. Have you heard the way they act towards children?"

I blinked at her. I've heard of what others had claim about their harsh words towards children. But...could they really hate all children? There was a file about them having another child about four years ago, but I didn't really pay much attention to the details.

"I have but... surely they're not that bad."

"Oh, they are. The child was taken away from them. And I'm glad they did. That poor boy."

I shrugged. If they had a child taken away, that was their personal business. Yet for some reason, I started feeling very nervous for the young Egg. After all, they were not people I would want for parents. And who knows what they would do to the child. They were drug addicts. They could cause major health problems in the future for it. The Egg had air-holes. And if the environment was not safe for the Egg, it could have serious health issues. Smoke could get into the air-holes and caused the baby to have asthma. Or give it a nicotine addiction. What if they got high or drunk one night and accidentally ended up smashing the Egg?

"Um...Tamera? I'm going to go check on a few patients. I'll be right back."

She nodded. Making my way through the halls, I kept an eye out for Sylvia and Fredrick. I searched through each door looking for them. That's when I finally spotted them. I couldn't hear was being said but I could get the since that it wasn't something the two reptiles liked. I bit my lip. They didn't look pleased. What was I saying? They were never happy with anything unless it didn't involve drugs or money. The poor Egg. I quickly moved when I noticed they were getting up to move. I took cover in a patient's room. I looked to see if anyone was in there. No one. Perfect.

"Come again in three weeks and we'll take a look at that Egg."

"Fine...whatever." I heard Fredrick sneered.

'Fine?' 'Whatever!?' That was his future child he was talking about! Do these people have no heart!? For crying out loud! If I wasn't hiding, I would come right out and slap the man! What nerve does he have be so crude about a child that wasn't even here yet? It took all my strength to stay hidden. When I heard they were gone, I stepped out. I growled, curling my tentacles into fists. They did not deserve to have children!

After work, I drove back home. I live on 254 North Sludge Street (St.). It was a nice neighborhood, good for raising children. I lived in a white two story house with a red roof, with my partner, Emilia. Emilia was a ten foot tall brown furred monster with blue eyes. She had lighter brown hair on top of her head that went slightly past her shoulders. We've been together since our Sophomore year in college. We bought the house five years ago and we were currently renovating one of the rooms. As I pulled in, I noticed that Emilia planted some hydra bushes on both sides of the front door. I gave an irritated sigh. Emilia is always doing something this when it comes to her plants. Emilia is a florist. But unlike most florists, her sense of smell was messed up. Instead of liking flowers like Deadly Nightshade or Venus Flytraps, she preferred honeysuckles and lavender. I parked my car and went inside.

"Emilia!"

"In the kitchen!"

I walked in to see her warming up a pizza. I went up to her side.

"How was your day?" she asked, pulling some plates out of the cabinet.

"Irritating."

"What happened?"

"It was that no good Fredrick VonFang! Urg! He and his wife came in today and they didn't even care about the Egg that they're expecting!"

She turned her full attention to me. Her blue eyes were filled with worry for me. I snorted as I crossed my tentacles. Her worrying wasn't going to calm me down. I started pacing and ranting.

"They should be happy! I mean, here we are, setting up the house to adopt a baby, and we're struggling to have the orphanage and they got a free chance!"

Emilia places a hand on my shoulder. I huffed.

"We'll get a child, Cheryal. I know we will."

"I know, but... I just feel... like their Egg is going to mean something for us. Like... we were meant to be connected to it."

"Maybe."

I sighed. My irritation not fully dissolved.

"I'm going to go work on the nursery."

"Alright! I'll call for you when dinner is ready."

I grunted, heading out of the kitchen to head up the stairs. I didn't know it at the time, but for some reason, my intentions were right.
