Charons life had always been filled with battle and death, so he was completely stunned the morning he woke up and drowsily saw his fiancé breast feeding their baby.
When did his life get so..... Normal.
"Hey sleepy" Janet smiled at him.
They were back in Megaton and life was comfortable. The baby was over a month old and had begun to smile and let out small giggles.
The little noises twisted Charon's heart and Janet would howl at the bemused look on his face.
"If someone told me your face would ever be that happy I would have shot them and laughed."
Gob and Nova were over frequently cooing at Alex and babysitting giving Charon and Janet time for a quick sleep.
"He looks so much like you now" Nova said to Charon.
He grinned and kissed Alex's forehead.
"He's a daddys boy that's why" Janet called out. "I spent an hour rocking him to sleep last night, Charon comes over and picks him up and he's out for the count."
Both laughed loudly enjoying the comfort this new life had for them both. No sleeping in turns to keep watch. No permanently watching their backs.
The door chapped and Gob got up to get it.
"Is Janet in ?" a small voice called.
Janets face turned on one of puzzle and she stood behind Gob at the door.
"Hi Janet !!" a girl called.
"Princess !" Janet reached from the door to pull the girl into a hug . A loud stampede of footsteps hit the metal walkway and launched through the door. A small person smacked into Charon.
"Look ! Look I've kept it clean and it shots really really well. I shot a guy coming here. He ran up and was like ahhhh ! But I ran away cause I was scared but then I went NO and shot him ! And he fell he didn't have any caps on him. He had ammo though. This ammo ! I don't know what it's for. What's it for Charon ?"
"Bumble..."
"I think it's for a big gun. They're pretty big huh look !.."
"Bumble ...."
"Maybe like a rifle or like that big one Fawkes had that goes BANG BANG BANG. Fawkes lets me on his shoulders....."
A loud shrill interrupted Bumble which gave Charon the chance to talk.
"You'll wake the baby"
Bumbles mouth formed a o and then she looked at the small bundle in Novas arms that was now crying. Nova shook him gently with no avail. Charon picked him up and he stopped immediately.
"See !" Janet shouted from the door "What did i tell you !"
He grinned and bent down to show Bumble and Princess.
"This is Alex."
Bumble began to mumble to the baby was press her nose against his with a giggle.
"Oh we know !" Princess stated "Three Dog told us !"
"What ?" Janet was stunned. He just told the whole wasteland about him. What if someone else came after him.
Janet began to panic and breathe quickly.
"I can't lose him again Charon !"
Her eyes were desperate.
"What did it say ?" Charon said seriously.
"That you two had a baby ! He said it must be something in the water you know the one you changed !"
Janet frowned and turned on her pip boy. No announcements just music.
"If he says it's in the water Janet it means he wouldn't be one of a kind. Which means that he isn't anything different."
"So the announcement could... Help ?" Janet spoke quietly.
"Probably." Nova called. "They don't know the true story."
"Well Underworld is gonna have a population boom....." Gob groaned from the corner.
