A Mithzan/Max X Reader Nuclear Fallout.

Chapter 23- Radiation Sickness?

It was about a week after the night you had with Max. The Tower was running low on supplies, so you decided to take Adam and Ross with you. Max was a little upset that you chose to travel without him, but told him how much Adam and Ross said they wanted to go.

Max was always acting cautious around you now. Asking questions like "have you been having any mood swings?" and also "have you had any weird cravings?" But each time you assured him you were fine, and most likely NOT pregnant.

So before you left that morning, Max held you for a moment and kissed you once.

"Be safe." He whispered. You kissed his cheek, squeezed his hand, and smiled.

"I will." You assured him.

Off you went. Treading South about 20 miles. Once you made it to a small town, you started feeling hot and dizzy. You sat down in the dirt, and Adam gave you water. After a moment, you began to feel nauseous.

Ross made a comment on how your face looked green, and just after that you turned to throw up in a bush.

"Hey, do you just wanna go back? You obviously aren't feeling well." Adam asked, as he placed a hand on your shoulder. You wiped at your mouth and shook your head.

"I'm fine. We need to keep going." You replied.

Shaking off the nauseous feeling, you got up and finished the water. Adam seemed unsure about your response, but continued on. Once you chose a house, Adam insisted you search with him in case you got sick again. You figured his fatherly instincts were surfacing and that's why he was acting so protective.

12 houses later, you decided you were finished scouring for supplies and told the guys you could head back. You managed to find a decent amount of medical supplies and some food on the trip. On the way back, you three encountered a super mutant. Ross and Adam pulled out their guns and started shooting. The hulking super mutant approached and swung his large rolling pin at your shoulder.

Taking a hit, you fell to the ground roughly. Adam helped you stand, but your shoulder was in a lot of pain. Ignoring that for a moment, you grabbed a cryogenic grenade from your bag and shouted at the guys to back up. You pulled the pin and threw the grenade, it landed at his feet and exploded. The super mutant froze in place, mid swing. The guys kept shooting at him and the moment he unfroze, the mutant dropped to the ground...dead. You all breathed a sigh of relief, and within a minute Adam was at your side.

"Is your shoulder alright?" Adam asked. You hesitantly shook your head.

"It hurts a lot." You replied.

He moved your jacket carefully off your shoulder to check it out. Ross came closer and took a gander at your bruised shoulder.

"Your shoulder is dislocated. Can I pop it back into place?" Adam asked, moving your sleeve down more. You agreed.

You braced yourself for the pain as Adam grabbed your arm. 3, 2, 1...pop. He shoved your shoulder back into place and at first it hurt a lot, but the pain subsided gradually into a sore feeling. Once you were ready to go, you slung your bag over your good shoulder and started walking. Not long after you began walking back, the nauseous feeling returned. You stopped suddenly, and threw up on the sidewalk. The guys sent you worried glances.

"(Y/n), you're sick. Let me carry you back." Adam pressed. You stood up quickly to protest, but stumbled into him in the process. He moved some hair out of your face, wrapped his arms under your knees and lifted you up. You decided it was best not to argue anymore, and your body felt heavy with exhaustion.

About an hour into the walk home, Adam stopped to rest and let Ross carry you the rest of the way back. You were so happy to see the tower again. Ross refused to let you down, even though you knew his arms were tired, and carried you inside. Barney opened the door and had an assault rifle slung across his chest.

"Barney, we need you to run some tests on the general." Ross said, letting you stand on your own once you both got inside.

"Oh, of course." He agreed. With Adam's help, Barney closed the door and grabbed your arm to help you into the medical room. You sat on the cold metal table as Barney grabbed a syringe to test your blood. After an hour of testing, Max showed up to stand by your side. He said that Adam told him and the others what happened today. He was worried and had to see you.

Ten minutes later Barney had the test results. No radiation like he thought, and no other poisons were in your system. You laid there on the table while Max stroked your head. You wanted to close your eyes and drift off but Barney's voice woke you up.

"What is it Barney?" Max asked, reaching for your hand. You held tightly to his hand, nervous to hear the results.

"Well..uh you sees...yous guys are going to be parents...." Barney stuttered.
