Looking in deep into the mirror you start your day with combing out your hair, and brush your teeth. Hearing your significant others voice behind you caught you off guard.
"Still as gorgeous as the day I meet you." They exclaimed hugging you from behind, "Shall we eat breakfast?" Your stomach groaned signaling that you were indeed hungry. "I take that as a yes." You kissed there cheek, and fallowed them to the kitchen were Codsworth was preparing the food.
"Ah! There you are. The food is ready!"
"Thank you Codsworth." You thanked him, and ate the delicious meal. The door bell rang with a shrill ring, so you answer it naturally. It was a Vault-tec Rep. He talked about the vaults saved for families who had members fight in the war. You signed the papers reluctantly to ease your partners mind. Shaun started to cry from his crib down the hall.
"Pardon me but Shaun has been changed. Yet he's still crying I think he needs that "Parental Affection" that you seem to be good at." Codsworth yelled from the other room. You walked down the hallway to Shaun's crib, and played with your little angle. Your partner leaned on the door "bragging" that they fixed the rockets above the crib. You admired there sassy attitude. To be honestly you don't know what you would do without them and there sass on a daily basses. Codsworth yells from the living room. "Sir, Mam you should come see this." he sounded worried, so you jogged down the hallway to see what was going on. The news anchor spoke of nuclear bombs falling across the nation as the news station cut out. Your spouse said they would grab Shaun as you both headed to the vault. When you got to the gates you saw people lining up to get in. Running in front of them to the guard and out of breath your love spoke "We're on the list!" The military man who let chosen people in was doing something that scared you. They weren't even letting everyone in! Not even there own Vault-tec Rep! You asked what was going to happen to the others, and all they said was, "We are doing our best." Deep down you knew that they were all going to die, but you pushed it aside to think of your family first. You both ran to the elevator. Standing in the middle a bomb went off a few hundred miles away, and as the shaft went down a dust cloud of hot air and dirt rushed over your heads. You and your family were one of the lucky ones. At the bottom guards were telling you to move in a filed line, and to change into vault 111 suits. When you walked down the hall you saw pods, and in all honesty you were slightly scared. The doctor told you both to step into the separate pods. Saying goodbye to your love and baby you got into your own pod. It was cold, and there was a robotic female voice counting down from six, then everything turned white. Just like how they say it is when you die, and you actually thought you did. As if it was a second later you heard that same robotic voice, and slowly woke up. You saw that there were new people who seemed out of place. When they opened your spouses pod you had a feeling something was wrong. A woman in white asking for Shaun, but you knew there was no way that your spouse would let go of your child. A man walked up to them and shoot your partner, but that wasn't the end. They took Shaun and left you in your pod. All you could do was yell and scream at the two kidnappers. The man said something along the lines of still having a back up. It didn't mater, hell you barley believed it was happening, like it was all just a bad dream. That when you woke up they would be fine in there pod. Everything went white once again till for the last time you woke up. When the pod door opened you walked up to your spouses pod. It all actually happened... You swore to you dead love that you would get Shaun back. You looked at them one last time, "Sorry honey.." With that you left to start your journey to get your son back, and no one could stop you.
