"Mum, why do you live down here it's so dirty and gross." Shaun says as you make some food, "Because it's safe down here and... this place meant a lot to Danse." You say sadly, taking a deep breath so you don't cry in front of your son. Shaun walks up and wraps his arms around your waist "I know mum, I saw it and it was sad. He loved you very much, almost as much as I love you!" He looks up and smiles brightly at you, you can't help but smile back and giggle, you wrap an arm around him. "You really do look a lot like your dad Shaun." You say as you stir the contents of the pot, he nods and stuffs his face into your shirt "I wish I met my dad, he died when I was little didn't he? He would have been so cool." "Yeah, he was really cool. You would have loved him, obviously." You chuckle. This was just like having a real son, a real boy, he acted just like it, probably because he had no idea he was a synth. You loved him no matter what though, he's your Shaun, your son.

You took him outside for a little bit to show him how to shoot a gun and lock the door outside. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately though being the kid he is he didn't want to sleep later on. You gave him Teddy's and everything but he didn't sleep. "Shaun (L/n) you go to sleep right now this is ridiculous!" You say, raising your voice slightly. He hides behind his bear and you sigh "By bed is right over here so if you need anything then I'm right here." He nods and you kiss his forehead, "Goodnight sweety." "Night mum." He smiles and rolls over. Finally. You waltz over to your own bed and quickly fall asleep.
