Trapped [Thomas Brodie Sangster]

part 11

I sat by the window waiting for what felt like months, I was so fearful. So scared waiting for Thomas to come back, and the fear in me too that he wouldn't come back, what if he got hurt, what if he died from radiation, what If he for eaten by zombies! I don't know what could have happened all I know is little jane is fine playing with her toys on the living room rug, little james starting to gain his motorskils and even attempting speach, Thomas has been gone one month also to the day and our food was getting lower and lower, I made the children bread soup yesterday luckily james is still nursing so it's once less mouth to worry about but that wouldn't last forever.
I jumped up knocking my book to the floor as I saw someone. I hadn't seen a single person or even figure on the horizon since Thomas left I was full of dear about to usher the children into the shelter but I saw it was Thomas looking much rougher then when he left
"Daddy! Daddy!" Jane smiled as she saw him too
"Jane take your brother and go play in your room a while"
"But mummy?"
"You have to, just for a while" I told her she nodded taking her brother and rushing off to her room shutting the door as soon as she did I grabbed a kitchen knife as he arrived at the door
"Y/n?"
"Yes?"
"It's me honey"
"How do I know it's you?"
"You can see me though the window hun"
"How do I know your not a shape shifting imposter"
"..... I literally don't know how to prove that, it's been a long day can I just come in"
"Into the porch" I allow and he came in but I wouldn't open this door holding my knife
"Whoa whoa whoa. Okay. What the hell happened while I was gone?"
"Nothing, I just have to be careful. What's your name?"
"Thomas"
"What's my name?"
"Y/n"
"What did han reply to leia after she confessed her love?"
"What?"
"The real Thomas would know"
"He says I know. He says I know!"
"What are the names of our children? And what where the birth circumstances"
"Honey this is stupid"
"Answer!"
"janie and James, janie isn't mine but i love her like she was, and James is still a infant because I knocked you up in the shelter please just let me in"
"Alright, go down to the shelter"
"Why?"
"Go to the shelter or stay out there" I told him unlocking the door but bolting to the living room shutting the door
"Oooohhhh I get it" he nods going down as soon as he was down there I locked the door and went down to the shelter door now closed "your quarenteenine me"
"I am. Two kids in the house Thomas and you've been gone a month I don't know what you have, what state your in so you have to stay down here a couple of days"
"That's fair, how'd it go without me?"
"Fine nothing happened didn't even see a soul. How is it. Out there"
".... It's nothing"
"What?"
"Nothing. I didn't see a single person all month. Not one"
"Not one?"
"Everywhere... Is grounded or pretty much our street somehow is still standing, and the big mall in town has a few walks left but that's it"
"What about other homedoms?"
"Couldn't find any, I looked but barely any is left out there"
"What about the vault on the edge of town that had a hundred person capacity and he told me before he shut me out they where over it, did they let you in?"
"They didn't need to"
"What?"
"The door was open when I got there"
"So they left?"
"No. They where there.... All of them. There must have been a hundred and sixty people in there. There dead y/n. The door sealed but the air filtration system malfunctioned it must have been a month of two into the bombs falling, they couldn't fix it. But the door wouldn't open with the bombs still falling so..."
"There all still there"
"All of them. It was horrible, they clawed at the walls and foods gasping for there last breath, one hundred and sixty people just... Suffocated. When the alarm went off for us, there door unlocked, rats have Been at them or atleast I hope it was rats. Luckily they had food they didn't eat so I brought as much as I could carry got enough for a year atleast, and there more there"
"Well... Atleast that's something"
"But I have found something else. Something better that... I think one of us has to go out again, check it again and see if it's even real"
"What?"
"You remember on the edge of town that big house that business guy built"
"I remember the town complaining about it yes"
"The house is grounded nothing left of it. But... I think he had a homedon and not one like us. I think he had something bigger. Something not designed to last a few years of a bomb filled war, something I think that was meant to hold you for a life time"
