That Saturday, around three in the afternoon, six female monsters showed up with the eight children out in the open at the park.
Five of them were all lizards, but they could see that Sondra was nearly lizard like, but with fur. And that she was pregnant.
The kids all went off to play once they were introduced.
Randall had made himself invisible and was overhearing everything. He recognized all of the mothers. They were Lisa, Fiona, Sadie, Rhoda, and Iona alright.
Rhoda had recognized Sondra a bit. Her friends didn't know her at all. She spoke up. "What's your last name, Sondra?" She asked.
"Boggs." Sondra replied.
The rest of them got worried. This was trouble.
"You are the wife of Randall Boggs, aren't you?" Fiona asked.
"Yes, I am."
"That must be Randall's baby you are carrying." Lisa stated.
"Yes, why wouldn't it be?" Sondra said. She looked at Rhoda. "I know you. You were that one female that caused my husband so much trouble so long ago." She began backing away.
"They all were." Randall said, appearing next to her.
"Randall! You were here eavesdropping?" Iona snapped.
"I needed to see what my son was talking about when he described his group of friends to me. And I needed to see what my kids all looked like somehow." Randall said.
"What? Are you going to have us arrested?" Sadie asked.
"What you all did to me so long ago was not right. Some of you might have been gentle on me to give you what you wanted, but everything was still way beyond all wrong." Randall said firmly.
"You all should have just gone and found yourselves suitable males of your own. And what Randall did was forced upon him for your greed." Sondra added.
"We've stayed connected all these years, and he had the best qualities that could be found in a local male. That's what we were striving for." Lisa said. "He gave that to us in his offspring."
"You did nothing but use me! I am not just some toy you can use and toss away!" Randall yelled.
The kids became aware of the grown ups yelling, particularly hearing a male voice. They looked over and saw the parents looking so mad at each other. They wondered what was wrong. They went to see what was wrong.
The grown ups were having an angry stare down when the kids came up. "What's wrong?" Heather asked.
Randall looked down at them all. All of his kids were together.
"This is my dad." Rex said.
"Actually, Rex, you might find this hard to believe, but these other kids are not just your friends. They are brothers and sisters of yours too." Randall said quickly before the other females began separating the kids.
The kids were all so shocked to hear this.
"Kids, if your mothers have told you anything about a father in their lives at all, I am your father." Randall blurted it out.
"This male is crazy!" Iona said.
"We must all be going now." Lisa said.
"But we were having so much fun!" Brett cried.
"You are not associating with these lizards again." Fiona said angrily.
"Go on, tell your kids the truth!" Sondra said. "They deserve to know who their real father is."
"We are not going to meet again, Boggs!" Lisa shouted at them.
After they were all gone, Rex was not happy. He began to cry. Sondra held him. She was glad nothing had turned physical, but this had not been a good day. But Randall had at least seen his other kids, even if he never saw them again.
"Why did you have to fight? They were my friends!" Rex sobbed.
"This isn't easy to tell you, Rex, but those other kids are really siblings of yours I didn't tell you about." Randall said. "I knew I was a father to some others out there, but I had never been told where they were. When you started telling me about them as your friends, I had to see them for myself. And seeing their mothers again, they are your siblings."
"But why do you all hate each other if they are my siblings?" Rex asked. He was still in Sondra's arms.
Randall had his own sad look on. "I know this is a shock to you, Rex, but let's just say that the different mothers of your other siblings were mean to me a long time ago and used me. It's not easy to explain this to you. They wanted children of their own and I helped them. None of it was love though. It was all strictly business with them. And they had some mean brothers too that were also mean to me. You might get along with them, but just be careful."
"They are the first lizard children that I have met and they also have the blending abilities too. No other kids in class can do what we can." Rex said.
Randall knew there was always the chance that he might have passed on that trait to the other kids too. How could the other kids learn to control it without the right guidance? Their mothers didn't have that ability.
The family went home. Rex was pretty mad and went to his room.
"I knew him running into his siblings had to be a possibility some day." Randall said.
"I know this is hard for him. But he's still young and has time to adjust. But I just wonder how we as the adults are going to handle this. He will want to be with them." Sondra said. "Others of his own kind."
"I know. The kids were all innocent in what happened, but it's what their mothers decide to do after this." Randall said.
…
After that, when Rex went to school, he didn't see his friends or siblings anymore. It was found out that they had to move away. Why? It was never said why.
Randall had a feeling he knew why. Because the females didn't want any custody battle just like him. He may never see those other kids again. And as much as Rex was mad at him right now, his son would move on.
But Rex never met any other lizard kids like him again, though over the years growing up, some new ones popped up in his classes. But they didn't have his blending ability.
When Sondra had the new baby, it was a girl. Rex had a baby sister. They named her Nicole. She was pink like her mom and had fur. She had her dad's green eyes and bluish tail. She had also gotten 2 fronds and purple hair on her head. She had 4 arms and 4 legs like both her parents.
This was Sondra's second child, but Randall realized it was his 9th child.
Randall's bloodline had been spread out. He had no idea where the other seven were. He would probably never find out, but he was perfectly happy raising two. He had had a son, now he had a daughter he could raise with a female who loved him.
Only one more chapter left.
