(This is a Fallout 4 fanfiction containing the female sole survivor (Elaine) and her son Shaun/Father I have taken some liberties and changed some things like for example Shaun's age.

Elaine has joined the Railroad and the story begins right when a tired and worn out mother arrives at the Institute for the first time to find her son and bring down the evil organization or will she? This is the censored version, that means that there are no sexual content or lewd things.)

Elaine coughed and panted slightly as she regained her composure from the teleportation process, she bent over as she felt a sharp pain in her side. She knew her wound would heal soon, but that courser had injured her quite severely. Carrington had been surprised that she had survived the ordeal. Her current predicament made her think back on her near death experiences ever since she left that hell hole called Vault 111 to find her little baby boy.

She had survived being, shot, beaten, burned and stabbed. This had lead to her body not being the pristine representation of pre-war beauty and health that it once was, she had burns running along her left side up to her armpit from the many Molotov Cocktails that Raiders are so fond of throwing during combat. Her stomach had three long diagonal scars that she had earned by beating a Deathclaw to death with a sledgehammer in Concord, she only survived the ordeal thanks to the T45-b power armor she was wearing at the time.

Her face was scarred and burned as well, while this had not made her any less undesirable from a purely physical point of view this had made her look less like the mother and lawyer that was locked inside a vault and more like a raider or experienced traveler of the wastes.

She was brought back to reality by the voice of an older man coming from the intercom system as she walked down the hallway.

"Hello, I wondered when you might make it here. You're quite resourceful. I am known as Father, the Institute is under my control. I know why you're here. I'd like to discuss things with you, face to face. Please, step into the elevator" said the man on the intercom.

Elaine stepped into the elevator and it went downwards, showing her an amazing world of technology and science. She was amazed by the Institute at first sight and baffled why the the Institute did not help the rest of the Commonwealth. She ventured down corridors and sliding doors until she arrived in a small room with a glass and locked door separating it into a smaller bedroom in the corner of the already small room, behind the glass she saw what she had been looking for, for so long, her son Shaun.

"Shaun I'm going to free you from this place." she said as she tried to hold back the tears of happiness, but her happiness soon turned to sadness and terror as the boy behind the glass shouted for help from his Father…?

Father sighed and shut off the child synth as he entered the room. Father looked at the woman before him clad in combat armour from head to toe, he felt a sense of relief and happiness to see her well and seemingly unharmed.

"I know this is a lot to take in right now, but I assure you that your son is safer than he could ever be and closer than you might think." He smiled softly as he spoke. "The Institute have taken good care of him over the years and he is quite happy here, so I have to apologise, but he will not leave the Institute. I am Father the leader of the Institute and I have to say that it is a great relief to finally meet you."

Elaine was baffled and angry at the same time while the man spoke, she took of her helmet as she stared at him, the fires of fury and sadness burning in her eyes."Where is… Shaun, take me to him… give me my boy and no harm will befall you or the Institute.."

Elaine raised her 44. magnum and aimed it at Father's forehead, Father raised his hands and spoke slowly, trying to not provoke her any further, "I know it must be hard for you right now, but please don't do anything drastic or you will lose your son, Mother."

"What do you mean "Mother"?" said Elaine concerned and confused as she kept Kellogg's revolver aimed at Father's head. "Is it so hard to believe that fifty years have passed since the kidnapping? It's me mother, I am Shaun, your little boy." He smiled as he told her the truth, no more synths and falsehoods, just the plain simple truth. Her body shivered as she came to terms with the fact that this man, this "Father" was her little Shaun. After a moment she whimpered and dropped the gun to the floor and embraced her son, Shaun. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she held him close to her body, embracing him in pure joy. Shaun was surprised by the sudden affection and stood there for a moment before hugging her tightly, slightly disgusted by the smell of sweat and blood that he felt as he held her close. He held her a bit too tightly and she groaned in pain as his forearm accidentally pressed against her barely healed wound, she felt the blood run down her side and stain her clothing, Shaun brushed his hand against the wound and looked at his blood coated hand in shock. "Mother, you're bleeding…" Elaine looked him in the eye right before her vision went dark and she fell back as she passed out, but Shaun caught her before she hit the floor. It all was dark for her, she had fallen into the deepest abyss, right when she had found her goal, her son. The universe is a cruel mistress indeed.

Shaun sat by his mother's bed as she laid there, motionless. Machines and medical equipment were attached to her body, keeping her fragile form alive. They had replaced most of her inner organs with synthetic ones after it was deemed that she would most likely not survived thanks to the radiation damage and shrapnel her organs had sustained, Shaun wasn't happy, in fact he was empty...he felt nothing, but emptiness. They had taken off her gear and pipboy to make the surgery easier and now Shaun held her pipboy thinking to himself, "I should have released you sooner from that vault.. I should have sent a courser to get you and take you here, where you belong with me..your son.. This would have never happened and we could be together like the family we should have always been." His thoughts growing more and more dark, asking what if and why. Shaun stood up and threw the pipboy against the wall, it crashed into the wall with a metal clang, surprisingly undamaged. A slight click was heard as the pipboy started to play a holotape that his mother must have left in it for some reason.

*Feedback sound* "Oops. Haha. No, no, no. Keep those little fingers away. Ah, There we go. Just say it. Right there. Right there. Go ahead." *Baby giggles* "Ha Ha! Yay! Hi, Honey! Listen..."

Hearing the voice of the father he never got to know, the father that died defending him brought Shaun to tears, he couldn't hold them back anymore.

"I don't think Shaun and I need to tell you how a great mother you are. But, we're going to anyway. You are loving, funny, that's right, and patient. So patient, patience of a saint like your mother used to say. Look, with Shaun and us all being home it's been an amazing year but even so I know our best days are yet to come. There will be changes sure, things we'll need to adjust to. I'll rejoin the civillian workforce, you'll shake the dust of that law degree."

"But everything we do no matter how hard, we do it for our family."

"Now say goodbye Shaun"

His fathers voice stopped and Shaun now realised that he was sitting next to his mother's bed again holding the pipboy. "Goodbye dad" he said as tears rolled down his cheeks and beard.
