Janet was on her hands and knees on the megaton floor. The contents of her shelves were spilled around her and she continued to rummage around them.

"CHARON !"

Charon came sprinting in from the front door, where he was previously repairing some wind damage to the house.

"What's wrong ?" he demanded scanning her and the area.

"Do we have any sugar bombs ?"

"Sugar bombs ?"

"Yeah!" Janet's face was pink with frustration. "The bar doesn't have them. Jenny doesn't have them and neither does Moira."

"You gave them all to Murphy..." Charon explained.

"Why am I such a nice person !" Janet huffed " I really really... Really ! Want them." Her fists clenched and she frowned. Charon would have called it cute if it wasn't for the amount of throwing ammo she had around her.

"Can't you have cram ?"

"No."

"Apples ?"

"No."

Charon picked up some of the boxes and placed them back on the shelves. He picked up a smaller box and held out it to Janet.

"Here bubblegum it's sweet, can that not do ?"

Janet took the box off him cautiously. She tore it open and popped one of the hard candies into her mouth. She chewed it again and again and again.

"It's not working is it ?" Charon asked.

"No." Janet looked saddened and lay her back against the floor. "Just one box is that so hard to ask for."

Charon picked her up from the ground and carried her over to the couch, he say next to her and placed her head on his knees. Stroking her hair he tried to find a reasonable solution.

"I could fast travel to the station?" Janet offered.

"No. You know what Barrows said about that, get Butch to do it ?"

"He's still in Rivet City. He wouldn't have the energy to travel back."

Pip boys were powered by their owners. When Janet had fast travelled from Raven Rock to the Citadel a year ago supporting a super mutant, a dog and a ghoul she had immediately passed out upon landing. As Janet's energy was currently maintaining a life form the Underworld doctor had discouraged it. Vat's too. Over use already gave her a headache before the pregnancy.

"Sounds to me like you need more Pip Boys smoothskin." Charon joked.

Janet sat up urgently.

"Charon ! You're right." She began to laugh and grabbed his face giving him a deep and excited kiss.

She ran from the couch to their room and pulled on her jacket.

Charon had barely sat up from the couch as she was gathering her things "Where are you going ?"

"Not far honest, the vault. Someone in there owes me a big favor and she is paying it back today. I'll be near enough that Dogmeat will here if I shout." Janet explained.

"I'll come with you."

"No it's okay. Keep doing the house. It's the first clear day in a while, god knows when the next one will be. I'll be back soon I promise."

"Ill walk you to the gates."

"Okay." Janet beamed at Charon happily and held his hand to Megatons entrance. She hugged him tightly and he wrapped his arms around her.

"Be quick."

"I promise." Janet stated with a kiss.

Charon continued to mend the gaps after she left. When he moved onto the second floor Vault 101 was within his eyesight.

She would be safe.
