Chapter Four: Johnny Johnny - Yes Lieutenant?

You weren't entirely sure how long it had taken to get onto base, you were too lost in your thoughts to really be concerned about it. Your mind was a cacophony of erratic thoughts, a haphazardly blended mess of the harsh reality you currently resided in. You were so out of it you didn't even question how they got you onto base without your identification card. In this moment you were trying to fight within yourself, to keep yourself calm no matter how viciously your heart thundered in your chest. That little voice in the back of your mind that some likened to a conscious took no time in listing all the horrendous possibilities that could be in store for you. You'd seen the news articles about women being murdered by unhinged military men - you weren't unaware for the most part of what others were capable of.

Perhaps your anxiousness had started in your early years, from the persistent drilling into your head by your own father about staying vigilant and prepared. He had certainly done his best to paint gruesome pictures into your skull of the very many things men, in particular, were able to do to someone of your stature. It only got worse as you got older and went through puberty.

In the back of your ambiguous memory vault you recalled the first time a boy had ever come to your door to ask you to one of your schools dances. Roy Martin, a boy you had spent countless hours with in the library studying together during free period - you liked him enough that you were willing to accept his request, excited even, until your father showed up from work. You still remember the way his eyes narrowed in suspicion, his military training to read a person's body language kicking into overdrive as he scanned Roy from head to toe. You'd be lying to yourself if you said he wasn't scared - Roy had practically pissed himself at the barrage of question your father fired off at him.

'When is the dance? How long does it last? Will it be adequately lit? Are there chaperones? What's the dress code? What are your intentions with my daughter?' You found it embarrassing at the time, having your ex-military father bombard your classmate like that over something you'd found so simple, benign even. Your father of course, thought otherwise. He'd sat you down at the dinner table, the polished oak covered in printouts of victims of domestic violence, assaults, even kidnappings. The pictures you recalled, unsettled you so much you ended up throwing up. Hours he had you spend at the table, examine each picture with a fine tooth comb as he detailed what had happened.

'Men are pigs sweetheart. They'll use and abuse you until you have nothing left to give them. It's why I've decided to put you in martial arts. No more tennis - starting tomorrow you'll be spending a your time at the dojo learning to protect yourself.' That revelation had made you so angry you launched yourself from the table so hard and fast your chair toppled over, the hard Crack of the wood against the laminate floor echoing through the room.

'What!?' You cried out, utter disbelief evident in both your tone and twisted facial features. You shook your head fervently, refusing to believe that he could do this to you - tennis had been your coping method for quite some time now, and to think he'd be so cruel as to rip that from your grasp over a boy... well it was enough to send you over the deep end. That was the first time you had ever spat the words 'I hate you' to him, effectively silence any and all responses he had ready to give you. The hurt that had crashed through his eyes had your heart shattering into multiple pieces, but you were too angry at the time to really care. That was also the same night you learned that your father was a raging alcoholic, suffering from ptsd that the VA refused to help him get treatment for.

The yelling, you recollected, had been terrifying. Your mother had come home later that evening, tired from her twelve hour shift at the local hospital, to find your father passed out in a pool of his own vomit in the kitchen. A bottle of Hennessey Whiskey still grasped in his hand. The argument ensued once she had shaken him awake, berating him for being so careless; What would you have done had you discovered him in that state? Worse yet, what would your little sisters have done? Needless to say that that night you didn't get much sleep - you were far too wound up from such intense emotions you couldn't process thoroughly yet on your own to calm your mind long enough to relax.

Your mind continued to spiral, bringing up memories you'd long since forgotten - funny what the mind was capable of doing to your own psyche. Your fingertips returned to their caressing of the fabric seats as the humvee crawled to a stop, using your sense of touch as a way to distract yourself from your always wandering mind. The fabric, you decided, was almost the equivalent in texture to the fur of a raccoon. Not too soft but not too rough - a strangely functional texture that both made you relax and feel uncomfortable. A conundrum, you mused, as you let the pads of your finger tips migrate lower. The feel of chilled though smooth pleather both confused and intrigued you, sparking your curiosity - you weren't sure why though, it was common for vehicles to have both per seat.

Perhaps it was because you had assumed consistency with the fabrication of the vehicle in which the manufacturers would simply have the fabric continuous to its base. It had made sense to you in the moment, however now that you let your mind drift down this path, you surmised it would be better to have a material much easier to clean should the need ever arise. You could imagine the gruesome things this particular piece of heavy machinery had seen, but you refused to dwell on it lest your mind conjure up nameless faces of lives lost whilst inside its steel framed interior.

You inner turmoil was cut short, graciously so as the humvee finally came to a full stop. Painful LED lights illuminated the helipad you'd arrived at - why they had stopped here you'd never know, nor did you particularly want to. You simply wanted rest - at least you'd hope that your mind would calm enough to allow you some moments of solace. You predicted that it wouldn't be so, but the hope remained regardless. König glanced back at you as Ghost clambered steadily from the vehicle, slamming the door with enough force it rocked slightly. He released an noise from the back of his throat that you assumed was done from being unamused by such an calloused act of masculinity. Whether intentional or not, it left you wondering just how strong the man was to be able to make such a large and seemingly immovable object such as this move like that.

You pushed those thoughts aside for now, opting to put a pin in it and return to the subject when you had at least a few hours of sleep under your metaphorical belt. Your eyes peaked up through your lashes at König, watching as he scanned the area seemingly leisurely. You figured this was the way they operated out in the field too - one of them being in the fray of things whilst the other remained out of the way, a lookout of sorts - perhaps a sniper considering he wore the hood of one. You could picture him as one, holding the rifle in his rather impressively large and languid hands, perched high up in a tower or even a hill, shrouded in foliage.

You weren't privy to know the details of what Johnny did as a member of his task force, all you knew was that the team itself was incredibly important and many foreign governments relied on them. Johnny was a naturally bubbly person though he had a way of being serious that sent a shiver of unease down your spine. You'd seen him flip that switch several times, and each time it was scarier than the last. That was the way of a soldier, you concluded, being able to flip that switch to turn off needless emotions. It wouldn't make much sense to have a bubbly killing machine frolicking through the daisies on his way to annihilate the enemy.

You suppressed a giggle from the image you'd conjured up of Johnny clad in his tactical gear skipping merrily through a meadow of wild flowers, laughing his obnoxiously loud laugh gunning town hostiles. You pressed your lips together, nibbling on them with your teeth slightly, wanting to keep the smile from your face - how were you to be cross with the very man you were just daydreaming about platonically when you couldn't keep a straight face?

A hand on your thigh brought you out of your humorous daze, your eyes narrowing in slight offense at the gloved skeletal hand touching bar skin. Slowly you moved your gaze to meet Ghost's hazel ones, raising a brow slightly in question - you had been so far out of it you hadn't even heard your door being opened nor the way he had cleared his throat twice.

"Captain wants a word with you before Johnny takes you to the barracks. Won't be long, he's straightforward enough to get his point across." You simply gave him a curt nod in response, carefully wrapping your fingers around his impressively thick wrist, and removing his hand from your thigh. The fabric of his gloves, you noted, was softer than you'd assumed - the material reminding you subtly of fleece or maybe it was velvet? You wondered, for a moment, if there was a specific purpose for this - was it easier to clean? Did he have poor circulation? Did his hands get easily cold? You didn't know, and you weren't brave enough to ask him outright. Perhaps you could pester Johnny about it later - if he didn't have to be apart of this meeting though you naturally assumed he would be.

Ghost carefully stepped back, removing his wrist from your grasp far gentler than you could have ever imagined the brute could manage. He rested his left forearm amongst the top edge of edge of door, his right gloved hand being shoved into his pocket as he nodded his head to the right - you took this as an indication he wanted you to exit and go off towards on of the brightly lit pop up buildings just left of the massive landing pad.

You climbed out of the vehicle far less graceful that he did, stumbling slightly once your bare feet made contact with the rough asphalt. A chill ran up your body, feet immediately going cold from the frigid touch of wind that blew against your bared skin. You hadn't realized your slippers had slip off your feet whilst you were in the throws of a minor anxiety attack,, something you were sure you'd be irritated over later when you were alone in the barracks. A shiver left your body trembling for a moment, goosebumps rousing across your flesh like domino's being tipped over. You were definitely berating yourself for not dressing warmer though you knew it wasn't exactly fair to do so - how were you to know that your complex would suddenly burst into flames due to an imbecile? Ah well, there wasn't anything you could do about it now - you were already here in the now, you might as well make the most of it.

Quickly your feet carried you to the building Ghost had indicated to you from behind, calling out what number in particular would be on the building and subsequently, which office to go to. You were familiar with this section however, Johnny had taken you here during his half-assed tour of base to meet his Captain - it had amused you at the time, now? Not so much. You hadn't the foggiest idea as to why Captain Price would want to speak with you - hopefully you weren't unintentionally in trouble, you couldn't handle a scolding from a man you equated to a father figure even though you weren't one of his subordinates.

Your bare feet slapped against the foux marble floor, your eyes downcast like a petulant child preparing for the worst scolding of their lives. Your face remained somber, though your teeth worried your bottom lip every so often. The closer you got to his office, the more your stomach wishes to reject its contents in its entirety. Yes, you decided, you would definitely start taking your medication the moment you got to return to your apartment.

Ghost watched her walk away, his eyes lingering slightly on the way her hips swayed - he liked it, more than he'd care to ever admit out loud. He closed the door to the humvee, shoving both hands into his pockets as he did a 180 turn, leaning his back against the very door he had just closed. König climbed out of the vehicle, going over to Ghost and mimicking his stance though opting to cross his arms across his chest.

"She's anxious - about what your Captain wants to speak with her about." He observed, his glacial eyes returning to the very door you had just disappeared through. Ghost merely grunted in agreement, his eyes scanning through every face hunting for the obnoxious sergeant he so badly wanted to strangle. He may be crass and curt, incredibly blunt and hostile most of the time, but even he knew to never stand a woman up. He wasn't a ladies man - he didn't do callouse one night stands often, nor did he exactly date - König and his relationship being the exception to all of his rules due to him being an active member of KorTac and understanding what this line of work consisted of.

Johnny on the other hand was the absolute definition of a man whore. If it walked, talked and showed an interest in him, he bedded it -truly it shocked him on how (at least he assumed) that Johnny hadn't slept with you. You were a stunning creation, a skittish little masterpiece of the best kind - the Mona Lisa to his Leonardo da Vinci. The more he contemplated reasons as to why Johnny wouldn't have wanted to bed you, the more confused and, albeit annoyed he got. His silent brooding was interrupted by a fist bumping into his shoulder, an indignant grunt passing from between his lips as he glanced up.

There Johnny was, in all his detestable glory, sending a wink off to a curvy brunette with disheveled hair. Of course he had been getting his rocks off - it'd fully explain why he was late to meeting them here.

"Lt, König, where's the lass gone? Scared her off, eh?" His Scottish brogue breaking through the tense silence, his happy-go-lucky unbothered tone sending both masked men into a boiling fury.

"You and I need to have a word, Johnny, about how a gentleman treats a lady." Ghost replied, his voice dropping a full octave and sending a wave of dread through the Scot. He simply nodded, effectively gulping before following along behind his superior, shooting a 'save me please' look towards König who simple gave back a wave.

Johnny 'Soap' MacTavish, was certainly about to learn a valuable lesson, one Ghost and König both knew he'd never forget.

When Faith Wavers

Spend time in the Word to discover who God is and how He operates.

July 25, 2024

Matthew 21:21

"If we believe God is who He says He is and will do what He has promised, why do so many of us habitually waver in our prayers? Instead of exercising bold faith, we come to God hoping He will hear us and answer our requests.

Perhaps one reason we are so prone to doubt is that we fail to discern God at work in our circumstances. We asked, and it seems as if nothing has happened. But the Lord sees the past, present, and future and knows the right time for every answer. His invisible hand is already at work on our behalf—arranging situations, opening hearts, and preparing us to receive what He wants to give.

Another cause for uncertainty may be that we don’t adequately know God’s ways. Then His response might disappoint us. Our prayers are often accompanied by expectations of how He’ll work. So when He fails to intervene according to the method we anticipate, doubt can set in. But knowing God and trusting in His perfect ways will give us stability as we wait for His answer.

To overcome doubts, spend time in the Word to learn God’s principles and ways. Then you’ll begin to grasp what He wants to achieve in your life and how He goes about it. Examine your past from a biblical perspective—faith will grow as you see the unexpected ways He’s answered your prayers."

What Would Happen if I Drink Ten 30 Grams of Protein Each Protein Shakes a Day?

In today's fitness-centric world, protein shakes have become a ubiquitous presence, touted as essential supplements for muscle growth, weight loss, and overall health optimization. Walk into any gym, and you're likely to see people sipping on their post-workout protein concoctions, believing they're providing their bodies with the fuel needed to achieve their fitness goals.

The popularity of protein shakes has skyrocketed in recent years, driven by the widespread belief that higher protein consumption equates to greater muscle gains. This trend has been fueled by social media influencers, celebrity endorsements, and marketing campaigns promoting the benefits of protein supplementation.

What's the Deal with Protein Shakes?

Protein shakes are convenient and easily digestible sources of protein, often used by athletes, bodybuilders, and health enthusiasts to support muscle recovery and growth. They come in various forms, from whey and casein to plant-based options like soy or pea protein, offering versatility to meet diverse dietary preferences and needs.

The appeal of protein shakes lies in their convenience and efficiency. Unlike whole food sources of protein, which require preparation and cooking, protein shakes can be quickly mixed with water or milk and consumed on the go. This convenience makes them especially popular among busy individuals who struggle to meet their protein needs through regular meals.

The Question of Excess: Can You Have Too Much Protein?

While protein is undeniably important for health, the notion of whether there's such a thing as "too much" protein remains a subject of debate. Consuming excessive amounts of protein, especially through supplements like protein shakes, raises concerns about potential health risks, prompting the need for a closer examination of protein intake and its implications on overall well-being.

Understanding Protein Intake

Breaking Down the Basics: Protein 101

What is Protein?

Protein is one of the three macronutrients essential for the human body, alongside carbohydrates and fats. Composed of amino acids, protein plays a fundamental role in various physiological processes, serving as the building blocks for tissues, enzymes, hormones, and immune system components.

Proteins are polymers made up of amino acid monomers, linked together by peptide bonds. There are 20 different amino acids that can combine in various sequences to form a wide array of proteins with diverse structures and functions.

The Role of Protein in the Body

From supporting muscle repair and growth to regulating metabolism and aiding in nutrient transport, protein fulfills a multitude of functions crucial for overall health and vitality. Adequate protein intake is especially vital for individuals engaging in regular physical activity, as it helps repair muscle damage and promote muscle protein synthesis.

Protein is not only essential for muscle health but also plays a critical role in maintaining the health of organs, skin, hair, and nails. Enzymes and hormones, vital for various biochemical reactions and signaling processes in the body, are also predominantly made up of proteins.

Daily Protein Requirements

The recommended daily protein intake varies depending on factors such as age, sex, weight, activity level, and health goals. Generally, the average adult requires approximately 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. However, those engaged in intense physical training may need higher protein intake to support muscle recovery and adaptation.

For individuals looking to build muscle or lose weight, protein requirements may be higher to support these goals. Athletes and bodybuilders, in particular, may require protein intake ranging from 1.2 to 2.2 grams per kilogram of body weight per day to optimize performance and recovery.

Protein Shakes Demystified

Types of Protein Shakes

Protein shakes come in different formulations, with the most common types being whey, casein, and plant-based protein powders. Whey protein, derived from milk, is rapidly absorbed and ideal for post-workout recovery, while casein protein provides a slower release of amino acids, making it suitable for sustained muscle protein synthesis. Plant-based options cater to individuals with lactose intolerance or dietary preferences such as veganism.

Each type of protein powder has its unique characteristics and benefits. Whey protein, for example, contains a high concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are crucial for muscle repair and growth. Casein protein, on the other hand, forms a gel-like substance in the stomach, slowing down digestion and providing a steady release of amino acids into the bloodstream.

How Protein Shakes Work

Upon consumption, protein shakes deliver a concentrated dose of amino acids to the muscles, facilitating muscle repair and growth. Whey protein, in particular, stimulates muscle protein synthesis due to its high leucine content, while other forms of protein contribute to overall protein balance and metabolic functions.

Protein shakes are often consumed during the post-workout window, known as the anabolic window, when the body is most receptive to nutrient uptake and muscle repair. By providing a readily available source of amino acids, protein shakes help replenish glycogen stores and initiate the muscle recovery process, leading to faster and more efficient muscle repair and growth.

The Appeal of Protein Shakes

The convenience and portability of protein shakes make them a popular choice for individuals seeking to meet their protein needs without the hassle of preparing traditional meals. Additionally, protein shakes offer a quick and easy way to customize nutrient intake based on specific fitness goals and dietary requirements.

For busy individuals with hectic schedules, protein shakes provide a convenient solution to the challenge of obtaining adequate protein intake throughout the day. Whether consumed as a post-workout recovery drink or a convenient snack between meals, protein shakes offer a convenient and efficient way to support muscle health and overall well-being.

The Myth of More: Debunking Protein Intake Myths

Myth #1: More Protein, More Muscles

While protein is essential for muscle repair and growth, there's a limit to how much the body can utilize effectively. Consuming excessive protein beyond what the body needs for protein synthesis does not necessarily translate to more muscle mass. Instead, it may lead to increased calorie intake and potential health risks associated with overconsumption.

The concept of "more protein equals more muscles" is a common misconception perpetuated by the fitness industry. While protein is indeed crucial for muscle repair and growth, consuming excessive amounts does not necessarily result in larger or stronger muscles. In fact, research suggests that protein intake beyond a certain threshold does not provide additional benefits in terms of muscle mass or strength.

Myth #2: Protein Shakes Replace Whole Foods

Protein shakes should complement, not replace, whole food sources of protein in a balanced diet. Whole foods provide essential nutrients, fiber, and phytochemicals that are lacking in many protein supplements. Relying solely on protein shakes for nutrition may result in nutrient deficiencies and undermine overall dietary quality.

While protein shakes can be a convenient and efficient way to increase protein intake, they should not serve as a substitute for whole foods. Whole food sources of protein, such as lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, and nuts, provide a wide range of essential nutrients that are vital for overall health and well-being.

Myth #3: Excess Protein is Harmless

Contrary to popular belief, excessive protein intake can strain the kidneys, as they are responsible for filtering and excreting nitrogenous waste products generated from protein metabolism. Prolonged consumption of high-protein diets may increase the risk of kidney damage, especially in individuals with preexisting renal conditions.

While the body can metabolize and excrete excess protein, prolonged overconsumption can place undue stress on the kidneys, leading to impaired kidney function over time. This is particularly concerning for individuals with preexisting kidney conditions or a family history of kidney disease.

The Dangers of Overconsumption

Excess Protein and Kidney Health

The kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, as well as filtering waste products from the blood. High protein intake increases the kidneys' workload, potentially leading to impaired kidney function over time. Chronic kidney disease and kidney stones are among the risks associated with long-term overconsumption of protein.

The kidneys filter waste products and excess substances from the blood, including nitrogenous waste generated from protein metabolism. While the kidneys are capable of processing and excreting excess protein, prolonged overconsumption can place undue stress on these vital organs, leading to renal dysfunction and an increased risk of kidney disease.

Digestive Distress: The Toll on Your Gut

Excessive protein intake can cause digestive discomfort, including bloating, gas, and constipation, due to the incomplete breakdown of protein in the digestive tract. Additionally, some protein supplements may contain additives or artificial sweeteners that exacerbate gastrointestinal symptoms in sensitive individuals.

Protein is digested and absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, where it is broken down into amino acids and absorbed into the bloodstream. However, consuming excessive amounts of protein can overwhelm the digestive system, leading to digestive distress and discomfort.

Weight Gain or Loss: The Impact of Excessive Protein

While protein is often promoted as a weight loss aid due to its satiating effect and potential to preserve lean muscle mass, consuming too much protein can backfire and lead to weight gain. Excess protein calories can be stored as fat if not utilized for energy, contributing to an imbalance in energy intake and expenditure.

The notion that protein consumption alone leads to weight loss is oversimplified and misleading. While protein is indeed important for satiety and muscle preservation, excessive protein intake can contribute to weight gain if total calorie intake exceeds energy expenditure.

Nutrient Imbalance: Too Much of a Good Thing?

Overreliance on protein supplements may result in nutrient imbalances, as they often lack essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in whole foods. A diet disproportionately high in protein at the expense of other macronutrients can compromise overall nutritional status and increase the risk of micronutrient deficiencies.

Protein supplements are designed to provide a concentrated source of protein in a convenient and easily digestible form. However, they often lack essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, that are abundant in whole foods.

The Ten-Shake Experiment: Potential Consequences

Beyond the Recommended: Understanding the Risks

Drinking ten 30-gram protein shakes per day far exceeds the typical daily protein requirements for most individuals and poses significant health risks. This extreme experiment illustrates the potential consequences of overconsuming protein supplements beyond what the body can effectively utilize.

The ten-shake experiment serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the dangers of excessive protein intake and the potential health consequences of overreliance on protein supplements. While protein is essential for health and well-being, consuming it in excess can have detrimental effects on overall health and longevity.

Immediate Effects: What Happens After Downing Ten Shakes

Digestive Disruption

The sudden influx of protein from ten shakes can overwhelm the digestive system, leading to bloating, cramping, and diarrhea as the body struggles to process and absorb the excess nutrients.

The gastrointestinal tract is equipped to digest and absorb nutrients from food, but consuming excessive amounts of protein can disrupt normal digestive processes. This can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Fluid Retention

High protein intake increases the body's need for water to metabolize and excrete nitrogenous waste products, potentially causing fluid retention and dehydration if adequate hydration is not maintained.

Protein metabolism generates nitrogenous waste products, which must be excreted from the body via the kidneys. This process requires water, and consuming excessive protein without adequate hydration can lead to dehydration and fluid retention.

Blood Sugar Spikes

Protein shakes, especially those containing added sugars or carbohydrates, can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose levels, followed by a crash that leaves you feeling fatigued and irritable.

Some protein shakes contain added sugars or carbohydrates to improve taste and palatability. However, these added sugars can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose levels, leading to fluctuations in energy levels and mood.

Long-Term Consequences: Chronic Health Effects

Kidney Strain

The cumulative strain on the kidneys from prolonged overconsumption of protein supplements can lead to renal dysfunction, characterized by reduced glomerular filtration rate and impaired kidney function.

The kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, as well as filtering waste products from the blood. Prolonged overconsumption of protein can strain the kidneys, leading to impaired kidney function and an increased risk of kidney disease.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Relying heavily on protein shakes for nutrition may result in inadequate intake of essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytonutrients, increasing the risk of nutrient deficiencies and related health problems.

Protein shakes are designed to provide a concentrated source of protein, but they often lack essential nutrients found in whole foods. Relying solely on protein supplements for nutrition can lead to nutrient imbalances and deficiencies, compromising overall health and well-being.

Metabolic Dysfunction

Excessive protein intake can disrupt metabolic processes, leading to imbalances in hormone levels, energy metabolism, and nutrient utilization. Prolonged overconsumption of protein supplements can increase the risk of metabolic dysfunction and related health conditions, such as insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease.

Balancing Protein Intake for Optimal Health

Finding Your Protein Sweet Spot

Optimal protein intake varies depending on individual factors such as age, sex, weight, activity level, and health goals. Finding the right balance of protein intake is crucial for supporting muscle health, promoting satiety, and maintaining overall health and well-being.

The key to finding your protein "sweet spot" lies in listening to your body's signals and adjusting your protein intake accordingly. Pay attention to factors such as hunger, energy levels, and muscle recovery to determine whether you're consuming enough protein to support your needs.

Incorporating Whole Foods for Complete Nutrition

While protein supplements can be a convenient way to boost protein intake, they should not replace whole food sources of protein in a balanced diet. Whole foods provide a wide range of essential nutrients, fiber, and phytochemicals that are vital for overall health and well-being.

Incorporating a variety of protein-rich foods into your diet ensures that you're getting a diverse array of nutrients and phytochemicals that support overall health and vitality. Aim to include a mix of animal and plant-based protein sources, such as lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, nuts, seeds, and tofu, to optimize nutrient intake and promote long-term health.

The Role of Timing: When to Shake and When to Plate

The timing of protein intake can influence its effectiveness in supporting muscle repair and growth. Consuming protein within the post-workout anabolic window, typically within 30 minutes to two hours after exercise, can enhance muscle protein synthesis and promote faster recovery.

While post-workout protein intake is important for muscle recovery and growth, protein consumption throughout the day is equally crucial for maintaining overall protein balance and supporting metabolic health. Aim to spread your protein intake evenly across meals and snacks to optimize muscle protein synthesis and promote satiety throughout the day.

Seeking Professional Guidance: When in Doubt, Consult an Expert

The Importance of Individualized Nutrition

Nutrition is highly individualized, with factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and health status influencing nutrient needs and dietary preferences. Seeking personalized nutrition guidance from a qualified professional can help you optimize your diet for health, performance, and longevity.

Every individual has unique nutritional needs based on factors such as age, sex, weight, activity level, metabolic rate, and health status. A one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition may not be suitable for everyone, which is why seeking personalized nutrition guidance from a registered dietitian or nutritionist is essential for optimizing health and well-being.

Working with a Registered Dietitian or Nutritionist

Registered dietitians and nutritionists are trained professionals with expertise in nutrition science, dietary assessment, and personalized nutrition counseling. They can help you develop a tailored nutrition plan based on your individual goals, preferences, and lifestyle factors.

A registered dietitian or nutritionist can provide evidence-based nutrition guidance, support behavior change, and help you navigate the complex landscape of food and nutrition. Whether you're looking to improve athletic performance, manage a chronic health condition, or optimize your overall health and well-being, working with a qualified nutrition professional can provide invaluable support and guidance on your journey to better health.

Personalized Plans for Your Health Goals

A personalized nutrition plan takes into account your unique nutritional needs, dietary preferences, and health goals, providing a roadmap for achieving optimal health and well-being. Whether you're looking to lose weight, build muscle, improve athletic performance, or manage a chronic health condition, a tailored nutrition plan can help you reach your goals more effectively.

A personalized nutrition plan may include recommendations for optimizing macronutrient intake, incorporating specific foods or supplements, managing portion sizes, and establishing healthy eating habits. By working closely with a registered dietitian or nutritionist, you can develop a nutrition plan that is sustainable, enjoyable, and tailored to your individual needs and preferences.

Conclusion

A Cautionary Tale: The Risks of Protein Shake Overconsumption

While protein shakes can be a convenient way to boost protein intake, overconsumption can have detrimental effects on health. Drinking ten 30-gram protein shakes per day far exceeds the typical daily protein requirements for most individuals and poses significant health risks.

Striking a Balance: Moderation in Protein Intake

Finding the right balance of protein intake is crucial for supporting muscle health, promoting satiety, and maintaining overall health and well-being. While protein is essential for health, consuming it in excess can lead to adverse health effects, including kidney strain, digestive distress, and metabolic dysfunction.

Your Health, Your Responsibility: Making Informed Choices

Ultimately, your health is your responsibility, and making informed choices about nutrition is key to optimizing health and well-being. By understanding the role of protein in the body, debunking common myths about protein intake, and seeking personalized nutrition guidance when needed, you can make empowered choices that support your long-term health and vitality.

In conclusion, while protein shakes can be a convenient way to boost protein intake, moderation is key. By incorporating a balanced diet rich in whole foods and seeking personalized nutrition guidance from qualified professionals, you can optimize your protein intake and support your health and fitness goals effectively. Remember, when it comes to nutrition, quality matters as much as quantity, so choose wisely and prioritize your health above all else.

What Happens During Tub Reglazing?

Thorough Surface Preparation

Thorough preparation work lays the foundation for adhesion and finish durability. Experts start by fully protecting the area, masking off flooring, walls, and fixtures with plastic sheeting to prevent splattering and overspray. They remove all caulking, existing coatings, soap residue, and mineral deposits using grinders, sandpaper, and cleaning solvents. They also inspect for damage like chips, filling as needed so walls are smooth.

Repairing Any Present Damage

Before applying the protective coating, addressing existing imperfections is paramount. Professionals carefully inspect and sound out every inch of the tub surface and walls, locating cracks, holes, large chips, or sections of missing enamel. Using specialty patching compounds, any found flaws get filled and leveled. Where rust has invaded, experts will first treat and then encapsulate compromised areas to prevent future spreading. Repairs dried and smoothed, the renewed blank canvas awaits its makeover.

Proper Ventilation and Safety Protocol

Reglazing involves an array of harsh chemical fumes requiring strict safety measures. Windows remain open wide for airflow, and pros set up exhaust filtration to direct vapors outside rather than circulating indoors. They monitor ventilation effectiveness using air quality monitors. Caution tape, floor runners, and "wet surface" signs warn household members against entering until gases dissipate.

Applying High-Performance Coatings

The reglazing magic happens with the coating itself. Professionals rely on specialized tub refinishing epoxy or polyurethane enamels designed for superior adhesion, hardness, and longevity. Using specialized spray equipment, they build up multiple thin layers until achieving the minimum target thickness recommended by the manufacturer. This ensures adequate film depth for a smooth, glass-like finish that resists cleaning chemicals over decades. Strict adherence to coating directions prevents premature failure, bubbles, yellowing, and other flaws. You can click here for more information about reglazing, and how professionals can help.

Post-Reglazing Inspection and Care

Once the coating has fully cured, pros carefully examine their work, identifying any tiny flaws needing touch-ups like dust flecks or uneven buildup. They'll also water test, checking for leaks indicating repairs needed underneath before caulking is reapplied. To help homeowners protect the renewed finish, experts provide care instructions detailing cleaning products and techniques best suited to the tub material and reglazing sealant used.

Bottom Line

Professional tub reglazing requires preparation, use of industrial-grade materials and safety measures aligned to manufacturing specifications. Attention to detail delivers stunning, lasting results free of chips, dullness, and stains. While improper reglazing can fail prematurely, experts trained in surface analysis, repair methods, and application techniques can restore even severely worn tubs for decades more use. Pros turn back time by understanding and employing the latest advancements, revealing the elegance beneath years of wear.

Considering the opportunities, dangers and applications of AI - Technology Org

Reflecting on the swift technological progress that has reshaped the educational landscape in just the past year is astonishing. Incorporating AI into classrooms has become a vital conversation in this age of creativity and innovation. For this interview, we’ve connected with three distinguished authorities in the field of education: Assistant Professor of Education Yasemin Copur-Gencturk, Professor of Clinical Education and Engineering Anthony Maddox, and Professor of Clinical Education Corinne Hyde. They share their thoughts on how AI influences the future of learning, the prospects it offers and the moral dilemmas we must confront.

Illustration by Heather Monahan

Antonio Reyes: What is the role of AI in shaping the classrooms of the future?

YCG: AI will play a key role in aiding teachers and schools to meet the individual needs of students. During instruction, AI can instantly help teachers differentiate instruction based on students’ learning patterns. It can be used to tailor assignments to help students master the concepts with which they need additional help. The learning programs available for children and adults could become more interactive and personalized.

AM: With a shortage of teachers around the world, intelligent machines may be able to offer acceptable assistance. This evolution is ongoing, even as education is increasingly supported by lifelong (i.e., throughout a lifetime), life-wide (i.e., day-by-day) and life-deep (i.e., language, culture, being) learning, with classrooms only referring to physical spaces. After all, much learning takes place outside of classrooms, often prompted by what happens within classrooms.

CH: At a fundamental level, the development of AI requires us to consider the purpose of education. Do we educate so that people can remember facts and implement skills? Do we educate so that people can become productive citizens and because education gives power and freedom to the learner? When so much of what we want humans to know and be able to do can now be accomplished instantly with technology many students have in their pockets, we must critically examine what is the best use of humanity’s time, energy and resources. If used thoughtfully and with a critical eye, AI can take over simple classroom tasks—grading basic assignments, quickly providing custom materials for classroom use and engaging in conversations with students around the content. This could free teachers up for more of the things that humans do best: relationship building, social-emotional learning, innovation, differentiating to meet individual student needs and teaching lessons.

How can we ensure that educators are adequately prepared to use and integrate AI tools in their teaching methods?

YCG: As with any instructional tool we educators plan to use, we first need to investigate its affordances and limitations for helping our students. We then need to engage with the tool as if we were students to further identify the issues students might encounter while using it. This is when we can uncover how equitable the AI tool is in terms of providing learning opportunities for students from different backgrounds. It is possible that the tool might be beneficial for one group but not for another.

AM: There is significant importance of separating the skills and abilities of teachers with the role of AI. Teacher preparation may likely include the various roles that emerge between teachers and machines. It is likely that machines, at least initially, will not “understand” the roles that emotions and socialization play in teaching and learning, or may be quite limited in responding to such needs. Perhaps there is comfort in using the term “tool” to describe AI, noting it is often derogatory to call a person a “tool.” Perhaps, sooner than later, it may not be appropriate to label a machine, at least to some degree, as a tool.

CH: I would question whether anyone can ever be adequately prepared to use a technology that is rapidly advancing. We can make educated guesses, but we just don’t know what AI in education will look like in the next three, five or 10 years. If we want educators to be prepared to handle AI as it is right now, then we need to provide ongoing training on the benefits and the drawbacks, as well as specific pedagogical practices that can be enhanced with AI. Educators should be engaged in communities of practice around AI use in education, and administrators need to ensure that both funding and time for professional development are in place for this to happen.

Could AI potentially replace educators in certain scenarios? If yes, where do you see this being most applicable or beneficial?

YCG: Not in the near future; however, if advances in AI are integrated with research in education, then effective, interactive learning opportunities for any subject and any population can be developed. More effective versions of MOOCs [massive open online courses] will be available for both adults and children because there will be interactive and personalized learning opportunities. AI can be used to create more effective curriculum materials and to aid teachers in differentiating instruction more effectively.

AM: The integration of machines and people has been going on for centuries. More recently, machines have demonstrated a means of reproducing human cognitive ability in a somewhat autonomous manner. My sense is that machines are unlikely to replace educators, and it may take quite a while for the effective demonstration of sharing teaching and learning responsibilities between AI and people.

CH: I don’t think AI will be able to completely replace educators (at least in the near term), because so much of education is centered around humanity—those personal connections and social interactions that support and inspire students. However, we aren’t far from the point where AI will be able to provide accurate and adaptable explanations of content. Once we reach that point, the traditional lecture could be obsolete. Students could engage with the AI outside of class time or independently during class time, and this could free up the human educator to design and facilitate learning experiences for students that involve creativity, innovation and critical thinking.

What is the most significant opportunity that AI brings to education, and why?

YCG: As an educator, the most exciting opportunity AI brings to education is the ability to create effective learning programs when content experts and AI experts can work together. This is a big “if” because I fear that the current attention being given to AI overlooks the importance of targeting specific content and delivering it effectively through AI tools. The content experts are familiar with the knowledge and skills needed to develop proficiency in a particular subject domain that should be utilized during the development of AI tools. Otherwise, AI will only perpetuate the problems already present in education. As an example, ChatGPT mainly focuses on procedural skills in mathematics, neglecting the crucial attention required for conceptual understanding, reasoning and problem-solving skills.

AM: One opportunity is its role as a force multiplier for instructors and learners at all educational levels. Currently, the manner in which people and machines distribute the “teaching and learning load” between them is unclear. Personalized education [via AI] is a brave new world that offers opportunities for everyone regardless of age, language or location; learning across space and time, so to speak.

CH: I see the most significant opportunity that AI brings to education as personalization of learning. Without AI, teachers with 20, 30 or more students simply don’t have the time to personalize learning for each student. AI could provide immediate and personalized explanations, tasks, scaffolding and more for each learner. However, as we consider this, we can’t ignore the reality that inequitably distributed resources could reinforce or even worsen opportunity gaps for students as it relates to AI. Will AI personalized learning be available to all, or only to those who can afford it?

What could be the most severe danger of integrating AI in the education sector?

YCG: Generative AI tools could be used to cheat. More importantly, many generative AI tools are designed to give answers, rather than to develop a robust understanding and other skills. Thus, these tools could hamper efforts to develop robust thinking, reasoning and problem-solving skills. The most severe danger of integrating AI is developing these tools without content experts, because AI experts are generally not experts in education.

AM: There is reason to believe that trust between people and machines is among the list of essential “understandings” needed to advance the idea that true learning is achievable. Along with trust are ideas such as autonomy and agency that will emerge as critical elements of educational interactions between people and machines. We may be wise to admit that machines will likely operate as educators and learners. New meanings will be assigned to the phrase “Trust, but verify” as a mantra for educational interactions between people and machines.

CH: As we begin integrating AI into education, we have to be aware that AI is not perfect and cannot relate to humans like humans can. We should never entrust the education of a human being to AI without human oversight. However, I do think that financial incentives will eventually push us in that direction. It would likely be cheaper to have students taught by AI instead of by human educators. This is a very dangerous path to take. I dread a world where students miss out on the myriad benefits of engaging with human educators and their peer learners. 

As AI continues to evolve, what is one trend or development you’re most excited about in the context of education?

YCG: The opportunity to develop more personalized and accessible learning opportunities exists so that barriers around teaching and learning can be lifted. Additionally, using the interaction data to uncover the process of learning is an exciting opportunity to move the field forward.

AM: The possibility for true equity to emerge will be most exciting. Perhaps we will do away with punitive education, where being “wrong” or not following directions is met with reduced scores or embarrassment. However, equity is not one-way. We do not yet understand how well the equity between humans and machines will evolve. We certainly have not operationalized equity between humans, so there is much to be expected for all involved.

CH: I’m hoping that AI will allow us to finally break free from the current age- and grade-level-based progression that we adhere to in the U.S. We know that learners don’t all master knowledge and skills at the same pace, and we know that there can be a great deal of variation in what students know and can do at different ages. However, we still put students into age-based grade levels and then try to make the lessons work for everyone. What if, instead, we could have AI track and manage data about which student is learning which content at which time, make recommendations to educators, and then educators could determine the best learning experiences to provide for students? 

How can educators balance the reliance on AI tools with maintaining the human touch in education?

YCG: We can adapt some of the strategies found in other areas where human interaction has become an issue, such as in asynchronous online learning opportunities and in playing computer games. I think that creating online discussion rooms so that educators can work together and share their experiences with AI tools might be an option.

AM: Evolving what may be termed the “machine touch” will be interesting. One perspective is that such a balance may not be under the “control” of humans or machines alone. It is hoped that AI will offer valued perspectives of what the “human touch” really is, and this is will serve as both a window and a mirror for human-machine interaction as it evolves.

CH: AI is a tool, just like a calculator, a computer or a textbook. [ES2] As long as the educator is using their own knowledge and experience to make significant educational decisions, then humanity is still in control of the educational experience. Educators also devote a significant amount of time and effort to getting to know students, building relationships, mentoring students and guiding students in their moral and social development. AI cannot currently provide that kind of support and connection to students, and the human connection is often what educators love the most about teaching. If we lose the human touch in education, it will likely not be at the hands of educators. It would be at the hands of those who want more cost-effective education at the cost of quality.

Are there any practices or strategies related to AI that you’ve adopted in your work that you believe should become a permanent part of education?

YCG: Yes, we have developed a professional development program that uses AI-based technologies to interact with and provide individualized feedback to teachers. I believe these programs could become a permanent part of teacher education, allowing teachers to receive support anytime and anywhere they need it.

AM: I’m truly focused more on the learning experiences of students, and I spend more time developing and operationalizing increased degrees of agency and autonomy in the learning spaces that have been my responsibility. I wonder what it means to exist in a space where trustworthiness is evolving, and I try to determine whether I can recognize it in myself and learners. I have yet to use any of the generative-AI platforms that have emerged, and I am striving to follow the edicts established regarding the use of AI in teaching and learning at USC.  I truly believe that lifelong, life-wide and life-deep learning can result in truly personalized education. I am experimenting with decoupling time and space, to the degree that I can, from learning using the Carnegie Unit standardization, and I am developing evidence of viable ways of migrating from standardization to personalization.

CH: I think it’s too early to say if anything related to AI should become a permanent part of education. We still need to see how AI stands the test of time, and how the technology develops. The AI tools that we’re working with right now will likely look and function significantly differently in just a few years. However, I do think that using AI to quickly generate customized scaffolding tools for learners (which I do regularly) is extremely useful and likely to become standard practice in the field of education.

What to Do When Your Heater Breaks Down in the Cold

When winter's chill sets in, a functioning heater is essential for maintaining a warm and comfortable home. But what happens when your heater suddenly breaks down on a frigid winter day? It's a situation no one wants to find themselves in, but being prepared and knowing what steps to take can make all the difference. This guide will walk you through what to do when your heater breaks down in the cold.

1. Stay Calm:

   - The first and most crucial step is to remain calm. Panicking won't solve the issue and may lead to hasty decisions. Visit the website if you want heating repair in Bakersfield, CA.

2. Check the Thermostat:

   - Start by checking the thermostat settings. Ensure it's set to "heat" and the temperature is higher than the current room temperature. Sometimes, a simple adjustment can resolve the problem.

3. Inspect the Circuit Breaker:

   - If the Thermostat seems fine, head to your electrical panel and check the circuit breaker. A tripped circuit can cause the heater to stop working. Reset it if necessary.

4. Change the Air Filter:

   - A clogged or dirty air filter can restrict airflow and cause the heater to malfunction. Replace the filter if it's visibly dirty, and make it a habit to change it regularly.

5. Check for Blocked Vents:

   - Ensure that all heating vents and registers in your home are open and unobstructed. Blocked vents can impede airflow and reduce heating efficiency.

6. Inspect the Pilot Light (for Gas Heaters):

   - Gas heaters have a pilot light that should be lit. If it's out, carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions to relight it. If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas supply and contact a professional.

7. Examine the Fuel Supply (for Oil Heaters):

   - If you have an oil-based heater, ensure an adequate supply of heating oil. Running out of oil can cause the heater to stop working.

8. Call for Professional Help:

   - If you've tried the above steps and your heater still isn't working, it's time to call a professional HVAC technician. Attempting complex repairs on your own can be dangerous and may void your warranty.

"Yes," Ashelia whispered. "Death does not negate heroism, my lord. It only... cuts it short." She sighed. "Of course it would be better if he lived to perform more good deeds. And I would be lying if I said my reasons for wanting to protect him were not also selfish. Basch is a dear friend to me. He has been all my life. I... I love him. And I could not bear for anything to happen to him." She was not sure why she was pouring her heart out to Larsa, but she found it so easy to talk to him. Ashe felt she was beginning to trust him.

"I... I am sorry about your brothers," she said, already jumping to the end of the story Larsa had begun. "We had heard even all the way in Dalmasca what became of them for their treachery. Were you close to them at all? I know there were many years between you and they..." And that reminded her of her own brothers. "I had eight brothers, all lost in the war, four of whom perished before I was even born. Two others... I was too young to remember them. The youngest two, still much older than I, I did know. Perhaps not very well, but... enough to feel their losses when word came of their deaths..."

As Larsa called both her and Basch good people, Ashelia swallowed hard, the compliment not seeming to fit her. "Basch... is a good person. Who or what I am, I suppose, remains yet to be seen..." she said, admitting that she had not the life experience to even have a full grasp on who she was just yet.

They fell silent and Ashelia picked again at her honeycake, finally beginning to eat it in earnest. It was very good, though it did little to uplift her. That Larsa had thought enough of her to bring her one, however, was the more uplifting point. While she ate, she pondered what Larsa had said. He was Larsa Solidor... and he'd do dishonorable things to make sure heroes didn't die... She mulled that over in her head, turning it every which way to examine the concept from many sides. Could it be... that heroes needed this protection? Could it be that some were meant to be the heroes, while others were meant to dabble in dishonesty and dishonor in order to protect those heroes?

After a while, she spoke. "You make a very interesting point, my lord. I never thought about it that way before. A queen's duty is not to be a hero. It is to manage, provide for, and protect her subjects. Basch... could someday be one of my subjects, as he is now my father's, and I should do everything I can to protect him. Perhaps... Basch needs people who are willing to dishonor themselves... so he will not have to." She thought some more. "Perhaps, if I am not as good a person as he, I should at least use the freedom my gray morality provides me to ensure that ones as pure as he are supported and protected." It was certainly food for thought.

More silence as she finished her cake. And then... "Larsa...? M-my lord. Thank you for discussing this with me. Thank you... for... being here with me. You could very well have sat yourself across the room and ignored me, given how cross you seemed with me earlier, but you did not. I... apologize... for anything I have said or done that upset you. I was not adequately prepared for what I would experience upon arriving here, and although that is no excuse, it is a reason why I have offended you and others here. Nevertheless, I am determined to do and be better, from now on. To... adapt. And... I shall start with apologizing to you... and doing everything possible to protect Basch," she said with a definitive nod.

“Because… if you are going to sell me to the enemy, then you should at least grant me the comfort of a friend whilst I’m there, father,” Ashelia said firmly, staring the old king down.

“Ashelia… Sir Ronsenburg is needed here and at war’s front,” Raminas said wearily. He was already dealing with immense guilt over the arrangement for his daughter to be held in Archadia’s capital to ensure Dalmascan loyalty, and Ashe’s resistance to it was not helping.

Follow me inside the wastelands -  Chapter 30 -Arthur Maxson x Female Sole Survivor Fanfic

The next one probably is the last chapter.

If you are very very very delighted with one fic and want a continuation I didn’t write or post you can donate me at least $5 bucks, most of this fics have next chapters I don’t finish because lack of motivation but hey a $5 is a $5, I see a few reviews and comments that fics that are abandoned months laters receive comments of wanting to know what happens next. Here it is, I finished my handling with you all, enjoy the fic

Ingram didn’t understand why all so sudden the Elder itself in his power armor came to her and ask for a patrol prepare immediately to Sanctuary Hills. Truth is that Arthur wasn’t prepared for today breaking inside the vault but since getting the pipboy was so easy why not do it today? Maybe it was good luck and his son was waiting. He expected a bit o resistance and didn’t prepare a squad but oh well it doesn’t matter, shell do it anyway.

-We are breaking inside a vault –said the elder giving Ingram the pipboy in hand- send me a message when we are ready to leave

-There will be any resistance around? Should I recruit a squad of guards to protect us? It may take some hours

-Ill take my own squad there, don’t worry, just pick up the best scribes for the work

Alright. Thought Ingram examining the pipboy in her robotic hands, walking around the Prydwen selecting her people for the job, once they were done and ready to leave with the adequate tools for the job in hands her surprise was big at seeing the ventibirds to leave already prepared, same with the five paladins waiting for them to scort them to destiny.

When she send the message that they were ready to leave the elder took no time in arriving to the fly deck to look for the team that will leade him to his baby.

-Elder, I separated provisions for 48hs I don’t know exactly were are we heading or what are we doing  -said Ingram walking at his side.

-We are breaking into vault 111- wait isn’t that the vault of sentinel Nora?- In Sactuary Hills, we are no friends with that settlement despite being minutemen allys, so don’t expect a warm welcome, ill do what I can to avoid us from getting attacked but have in mind that you may have to work under hostile conditions.

Damn trying to hack into a vault in the middle of a shootout wasn’t into her plans today…or never.

They all went inside two ventibirds and headed to the settlement. The transport was quite noisy and obvious, it was noticeable wherever it passed so they were going to fly over Sanctuary and try to land in the vault field without causing much fuss but that was…difficult to achieve, surely a patrol from the settlement will pay them a visit. Who should he expect? Preston lives in Castle since a long time now.

Exactly as they predict where they landed there was a patrol walking towards them, this time Arthur would talk, present themselves to the locals who obviously wanted an explanation of what the hell were two bentibirds doing so close to their home, and its true, Sanctuary was very very close to the vault, it wasn’t a situation to ignore and let pass.

-What are doing brotherhood soldiers so close to our settlement? –a whole army indeed, 6 in power armor, Proctor Ingram and 6 scribes. The patrol of minutemen look…conflictuated…They definitely didn’t want to  challenge them. Too much power difference.

-Its Robert Maccready around? –spoke Arthur out and loud.

-Yes…he is…-the patrol looks confused at each other face. Well well well knowing a familiar name definitely helps to calm everybody

-Cool, bring him and who ever is in charge too while we start working

-Hold on buddy it doesn’t work like that –said one of the settlers offended by his cocky attitude, what the hell with start working if they didn’t allow them? At least wait until people agree

-It will, buddy –spit Arthur annoyed- now bring your boss so we can settle things up

They all make sings between them and two from the patrol run down to Sanctuary Hills while the other three stay there to…well put an eye over the brotherhood soldiers who were already downloading their cargo from the ventibirds, what a nerve to stablish without authorization of the people who actually lives there

A few minutes later, Maccready and…a ghoul with a sales-man suit approached them guided by the minutemen patrol mans.

-Good to see you…elder –said Maccready to Maxson.

The brotherhood soldiers couldn’t not be more indignated about being in presence of a ghoul like it was nothing.

-Was the company really necessary? –said Ingram low with actual disgust

-Shut up, Im one of the people that knows Nora from before the bombs dropped…15 minutes before the bombs dropped actually –reply the Vaul-Tec sales man annoyed

-So you seen the bombs drop? –she asked surprised.

-As many of us ghouls, but you don’t care about that? Many of savage ghouls are sentient and can understand us, but you just shoot them in the face because they cant talk in English –said the salesman with sarcarsm- I was working in this neiberhood when the bombs dropped exactly, this was my zone for the day, I was a vaul-tec sales man.

The brotherhood people stood there in silence hearing his story, a bit fascinating a bit repulsive too, the man that survived the bombs and its still today living and breathing to tell them.

-Are you the person in charge here? –ask a Paladin

-Yes, designated by the general, what are you guys up to?

-We are trying to break into the vault –said Arthur- there’s something inside the brotherhood needs –the patrol open up their eyes wide, nobody ever tried in all this years despite the temptation, General Nora made very clear to sneak out their noses from the vault 111 and…well they didn’t have pipboys to try it and the entry to the vault didn’t exactly help to break inside by hand, wasn’t an easy one unlike vault 114 for example

-Remember when I said I know her from exactly 15 minutes before the bombs dropped? 5 minutes early I was trying to get inside the vault, the guards didn’t let me pass trough the doors –the ghoul pointed at the fence a few meters from them- I was asking to let me go inside, I was a vaul tec employee just like them, I was selling the wonders of living inside a vault –well considering Noras fate wasn’t exactly a good experience- and I could never taste it, im like this because that assholes coworkers of mine didn’t let me go trough the gates…since they were on high ground they vanished like dust behind the fences in front of my eyes, and since I was down with the people trapped on the outsides of a new life underground…I survived…and with time and the radiation that lasted in the surface for half year I became a ghoul, unlike Sanctuary Hills residents I keep my mind at least…-silence, everybody, minutemens and brotherhood soldiers were in silence- so yeah, I think the least we can do on this fuckers of vault tec is break in the vaults and take all what we can use to keep surviving

-Are you sure? –ask one of the minutemens- the general is going to be so mad, she never let us use it . He was hearing that phrase a lot lately.

-We are here to pick just one thing –said Arthur- what ever you want to do later its your decision, we are in and out

-Well figure out, anyway its been a pleasure Brotherhood people –the sales man smiled and everybody got chills by how awful his face was- I hope you succeed in to activate the elevator and open the door, as far as I know the reactors are still functioning just fine so you shouldn’t have a problem with that –he pointed at two of the minutemen, the mens that guided him here- you two, stay here and report me when the elevator is functioning, I want to see it

-Were are you going? –ask Maccready to the sales man, looking at Arthur confused.

-If the training for which I paid 200 dollars to start working as a commission salesman had something accurate in all that training lessons then it will take them a long time to overcome the security controls, the Vaul Tec codes are primitive and easy to hack but Not exactly the entrance and exit part, they were designed to only be used by the supervisor and frankly I don't know if the general pipboy is that one

Oh shit.

The ghoul disappeared along with 3 minutemens, 2 stay around them watching and Maccready...stay…around Arthur.

-How long since you two lost contact? –ask the elder to the mercenary- you and Nora.

-The last time she was here, year and half

-Weird that you didn’t offer to be her companion

-I did once –Robert took a pause- I almost didn’t come back, I think in my son and I decided to stay back with him

-Hard to keep a family while being a mercenary

-What a nerve, I can say the same –Arthur lift his shoulders although it wasn’t noticeable with the power armor on- why do you want to get inside?

-Why do you think?- hu?

-I honestly don’t know

-You sure you don’t know?

-Im sure? –ohmygodhedidntknow…

-Then youll see…what she is truly capable to do

-I know she has done some fucked up things, I still own her my life, she saved Dunkan when even I run away to not face his death

-Some things are unforgeable

-Yeah but that doesn’t eliminate the good ones, so I choose to balance

-There’s heavy weights in that scale

-I know…-he breathed out, taking some time-I know…

It took them two weeks to hack into the elevator panel, of course at day two Arthur had to head back to the Prydwen but the soldiers that need to stay there make an interesting field camp for research…and place turrents and mines all around because there was reports of Deathclaws nearby but he was sure it was a misinterpretarion because the Deathclaw zone was to the other side…anyway. He stated very clear that no one except him would go first inside, he would be the first one getting into the vault despite any kind of danger so when the news of the elevator getting finally hacked arrived to his terminal…he lick his lips and put on his power armor to get on a ventibird and travel to the now open vault 111.

His stomach hurt of exciment while traveling but his mind was surfacing all the worst scenarios, even in the power armor he crosses the metallic fingers to see the view really not wishing anything bad to happen to…Shaun…damn in some other time that name was a curse and now…he loved this kid even just hearing about his mere existence. It was a son of Arthur Maxson after all.

When he arrived into the vault terrain he found Ingram still there working and he recognized he needed her support there and now, so as soon he was out the ventibird he approached her.

-I may need a health specialist coming…-Ingram raise an eyebrow still unsure of what they were doing here but still pick up one of her scribes around- we are going down, just the three of us for now –she nodded, unsure of anything but letting herself carry away by the elder.

The three of them stand on the platform and when the elder give the sign to the scribes the elevator started to go down.

Salesman ghoul was heavely advised that the elder and the brotherhood will go first and then it would be his turn, he will have to wait for now. Brotherhood business first

Arthurs chest was moving up and down in a terrible anxiety, as soon they were down earth illuminated by the big white spotlight he felt the need to run and open the metal gates of the elevator, he had been in vaults before, hes been in this particular vault before, and when he sees the corrido all open…he run thought it like it was a race.

-Elder Maxson! –call him Ingram from far but he couldn’t listen more noise than the engines and motors of the place even when her voice eco in all the corridors.

He ran and ran and ran crushing hard on the floor with the power armor feets until he was facing the sliding door were Nora take him 8 years ago to…talk to Nate, she talked to Nate, he wasn’t part of that…conversation…He took standing in front of the door…and open it…

And then walked around looking for the faces of all the people who died in the cryo pods, still intact of course all by action of the refrigeration chambers. He didn’t know how Nate face was, how he looked like, he didn’t take a peek since Nora that day didn’t mention it and he didn’t want to sneak into her painful business that day but if Preston was right…there it was.

There was a baby in the arms of a men with a hole in the head, blood on the sides and neck.

-Greetings soldier –he saluted Nate remembering he was a military man from before the bombs droped but his eyes quickly look down at the baby, who was apparently crying in the moment he was frozen and that break his heart. Ohmygodnonononono.

Arthur went off the power armor this time without taking out the fusion core like usual, just turning down the red lever at the side of the pod, waiting in horror for it to open. Hands shaking.

His eyes look at Nate, looking at his face and trails carefully, here they were both finally getting to know each other, Nora's two men

-Elder Maxson! –he heard another scream in the corridors, Ingrams voice.

As soon the pod open up he picked the baby quickly cold from Nates dead arms, it was cold cold but not frozen, still pusheable between his fingers, the cryo pod apparently gives enough heat to defrost the humans inside successfully but…he wasn’t moving, the baby wasn’t moving at all, ohnononononono he panicked and moved him a bit pressing on his tiny chest starting to get desperate…until he started crying, the baby was crying oh gosh he was alive thank god

Arthur hugged him first wanting to cry, smiling in joy so much but then he realized that the baby was cold, so cold, so he put it inside his jacket trying to dry or give im some heat.

-Im over here! –the elder scream out even if the baby cryings were high pitched enough, poor thing was cold like a chicken he could feel his low temperature against the black suit.

Ingram and the scribe arrived to the room, the elder quickly run towards and give the scribe he baby, who quickly hold him to be received with his low temperature, panicking she started to give him a heat warm therapy, Shaun will only cry louder an louder. Arthur wanted to cry too.

-Is this…?- ask Ingram, getting desperate at hearing his cries not sure what to do.

-He is Shaun Maxson –said the elder worried wrapping his tiny hand between his palm  that was also cold for holding him- he is my second son –despite being the actual first.

After some minutes they managed to make the baby stop crying, Arthur will get on his power armor back and start walking to the entrance with Ingram and the scribe with the baby on arms until…he felt a strange noise coming down from their feet, looking down he saw…that the scribe kick something with her foot. The elder lift an arm to make them wait and inspected the floor until…he saw something…

There it was…a holotape on the ground…could it be the holotape Preston mentioned? Noras holotape? He picked it up with the power armor metal hands and the…now fourth of them moved to the entrance.

It was strange, Preston mentioned something about the robot Curie…but no one received them…or even wasn’t around…truth is they weren’t exactly exploring every room, just picking Shaun and going back but…weres the robot that help Nora to give birth if it never came out to the surface again?

-He needs an incubator, if I knew we were going to do this I would bring something to protect him from the radiation when we go out

-We can adapt a mask –said Ingram- a little bit of radiation wouldn’t kill him –that commentary make Arthur angry, his baby was precious and needed to be protected all time, the woman noticed this and decided to better shut the hell up about the elders son.

-Ill make the ventibird go faster than ever –said the elder also worried about the radiation.

-What about the vault? Who is  in charge? The settlers of this place will want it –the man place a finger on the babys cheek and caress it slowly, he was the only thing that will captivate his attention for the following days.

-I have more important business to attend to right now –Ingram look at him weird but still- would you like to take care of the vault meanwhile Proctor?

-If I do I will preserve it until the elder takes charge again -Yeayeayeahwhatever…Now he had his baby.

He…separated from Arya…this days…wont came back to his quarters and stay with the infant in the nursery all time as Cade and the nurses check Shaun, and, blood, urine, poop, organs, limbs…he needed incubation, that’s  a fact, Arya may not need it immediately as she resisted a long journey the day she was born but Shaun does from being frozen like that, needed to be feeded and get stronger,  poor thing need more care than his sister because their mother give im an inhumane threathment…and as his son was there enclosed in a incubator all he cant think is…that he will never forgive her for this. Abandoning not only one but their two sons, if it wasn’t because he owns the world to Nora for giving him both he would send an assassin after her ass for hurting them like this. Controvertial as it was for an elder to purposely kill a Sentinel.

The nurses will come to feed, change and bathe Shaun. Arthur will just observ because even the nurses were careful with how they were working over the baby, taking his temperature each time they take him out off the incubator, removing carefully the intravenous for hydration and feeding purposes, bathing him on a certain water temperature, feeding with formula…again…

The elder wonders if he should be named Shaun II, after all the original Shaun, Noras son was the first one…there was even in his lineage seconds…

After a week and half he left the nursery and go to meet his daughter, she deserves to know about this subject too, it was necessary, and Shaun was getting better and better, hell soon share the bedroom with them too

-Arya –he calls for his child on her side on the room. This girl was amused to have his father absent some periods, she understands how important Arthur was in the Prydwen so she was trained since very little to get used- there’s something I need to show you

Both walked towards the nursery and Arthur place his hands on her shoulders when they were standing in front of Shaun incubator, the baby was sleeping with his chest going up and down in front of them.

-Dad? –she asked confused, although she may suspect something, but Arya only was 7 years old.

-I present you your brother Shaun –she stay in silent for a few moments, breathing in HARD.

-With my  mother?

-Yes –yes, with sentinel Nora.

-When did this happen? –damn she was suspicious.

-A while ago –the less details he gives the better.

-So he is my brother...my legit blood brother –oh he understands, not a stepbrother, a brother brother- Is my mother around?

-No –he clarifies- she left me Shaun to pick up –that wasn’t the case but…

-I see –the girl stares at the baby and breath out- he is so tiny

-He is almost two weeks now

-I haven’t see you in almost two weeks…so you were busy with him –she stared in silence for a few moments- is he also a Maxson?

-Yeah…the three of us are Maxsons –Arthur knee down to face her at a side- im very happy with his arrival.

-Why? –she asked- what’s so special about him?

-He is one of my kids, and I love him as much as I love you

-Is he going to be inside that box forever?

-No, he may be out In a few days

-Is he sick?

-Not exactly, his breathing is getting better, he just need to get stronger it…took him a long time to arrive here with us…

-Shaun is his name? –Arthur nodded- it’s a good name

-Just like yours Arya

A few days later Shaun will be better to not needing an incubator anymore, just baby clothes, blankets and tons of warm hugs from his dad to get used to normal temperatures. It was all over again his first days with Arya and he couldn’t be more happy about the nostalgia, now he was less scared, much more prepared, with experience and really wishing for the situation to be like this, he can take care of his baby just fine, he didn’t need anyone else, Arya turned out to be a fine lady and Shaun will be the same with his cares. The best thing is now that he officialized that he had another child with the Sentinel the council stop trying to force a marriage proposal but…

There was an elder suspicious of how…this child was conceived…the elder that currently had Nora in his chapter since year and half.

Arthur was in a call with the kid on his arms, playing with his little hands as he walked in circles in the room.

-I must say that a child with the sentinel well…took us surely by surprise –said the old voice at the other side of the call.

-Me too, but it was a good one –a wonderful one.

-The sentinel has been working perfectly this time here…

-I don’t doubt so

-In all this months she was alright working with an…amazing health…

-Yeah with Arya I didn’t notice her grown until she pressed my palm on her belly at month 3 or 4…she was more skinny back then tho –the two of them hadn’t seen so much since…well when they separated but from the glimpses of what he sees…Nora gain a lot of weight with the pregnancy of Arya making her a totally different woman. Still beautiful

-Well I didn’t notice anything in all this time either!

-Lets just say that the sentinel and i…have or own ways…-their own unexpected ways to connect trough the past.

-Something I should be concerned since she is under my charge here?

-Not at all, the only thing we all should be concerned is if the little one in my arms is going to vomit his meal or not in about an hour

-I know the sentinel has strange connections…to synths…since a lot of years –the phrase frozen Arthur in place, he stay in silence for a few seconds and reply.

-I assure you this little man was born from the womb of a mother –not exactly a loving mother- flesh is flesh after all and I do recognize my blood

-This…event…didn’t seem to interrupt with her mission at all –well that was obviously strange and he understand the man suspicions

-Since this child of ours was a secret between her and me it shouldn’t surprise you at all –this was the narrative he hold together all this years, that they were still “together”…but in their own terms

And she never respond negatively to it in fact didn’t respond at all neither.

-She neither ask for any help or attention

-Speaking of which –better to change or avoid this subject before it gets deeper, the elder obviously wanted explanations of how both conceived and give birth to a child with perfect adn without even being together or see faces in such a long time- when is Nora available to come back to the commonwealth again? –not like he wanted tho

-The mission she came here to do in the first place ended up a few months ago…like I communicated you on the reports –reports he didn’t read because he isn’t as interested in her life like he used  before, he preferred to just ask to someone  and get a quick answer if by any chance a worry about the mother of his daughter crossed his thoughts.

-I never said any of that

-Well no, but I mean that she is totally available to come back to the Prydwen…but doesn’t want by her on, she is just staying here doing task for everybody, helping.

-That’s just her way

-I think that but then I thought if she wasn’t…staying here for someone…apparently not if…both of you reunite at somepoint to…you know…

Gossip, he didn’t care.

-Never ask me anything about joining her with some other soldier like its usual protocol

-Because I didn’t have any suspects –there it was, gossip- but oh well my theory falls down on its own, she is just saying here if that’s the case –and considering the poor treatment his boy received from his mother, he hopes she stays in there for a long time. Away from her.

A week later of that, with the baby on arms, Arthur reunited…the people in the Prydwen that knows Nora the most and were aware of Shaun situation and how he arrived into his arms. Specially Cade and Ingram.

-Thanks for coming by soldiers, when I learn about Shaun existence…I was warned…about some document if I can call it like that about his arrival to this world and how it happened…I would like to share it with you since  a lot of things are a mystery upon this days to me so you can share me your thoughts…-the soldiers on a table nodded, Ingram and Cade look at each other but still nodded. Arthur plays an holotape on a terminal for everyone too listen.

There was always in most of the recording the sound of a baby crying out and loud.

“Nate…thank god you are still here…I always come back to you when Im feeling down” the voice of Nora gave everyone chills in the room “I guess death cant break us apart…since im not letting you go but look at this” the crys of the baby everybody assumed it was Shaun sounded more loud on the recording “I always thought in an scenario were we both together we would rock this place looking for Shaun but it doesn’t matter anymore…”again the crys sounded louder in the recording ”I got him…again…is identical to our baby together…I guess he had even back then more on my side than yours…I promised you ill bring him back” she laughted, crying”I love you forever Nate, I always hoped that if I bring you Shaun back you will…wake up so…we can be a family again…”silence except for the babys cryings, apparently it wasn’t happening again”Arthur…”when he heard his name with her voice after almost 8 years…he look back at the terminal, remembering it was a recording he  also heard before, tricky”im sorry…someday you will hear this…and im really sorry about what im going to do…but this is between me and Nate for eternity, my only only son will be Shaun…even after everything hes done im his mother…no matter how much times he cames back to me he is my and Nate son” no, this was specifically her and his son, a son of Arthur Maxson”I didn’t wish for any of this to happen, I never wanted to hurt you but I recognize you had all the right to be mad at me forever…after all taking a son away is a horrible thing that only monsters do… and im about to follow an apparently old family thing”it took days for Arthur to understand that line but he supposed she mean how the original Shaun was also took away from their parents”this is our child, me and Nate son Shaun after all…and I promised to bring him back...almost 5 years ago when I wake up in the new Commonwealth” then a sound that nobody expected to hear, the alarm of the cryo pod opening up, the sounds, the water coming down, the lever going down, the wind and air pressure of the machinery…everybody expected the worse”Arthur…im sorry” the followings sounds implied to everyone that she…trapped the baby inside the cryo pod and this one closed, in a few seconds the crying stopped at all and everybody could miss the cry they heard for the last 5 minutes “this isn’t the life you wanted for any of us and I understand if you…hate me forever…I will be out of your life to not hurt you anymore…I still love you…even with all the stress and disgust I make you go through you are still my fine good looking man”she laughted a bit, but it wasn’t funny for him at all “I made a previous recording were I swear I wouldn’t use your name anymore but for this I need to say it, luckily you aren’t going to ever listen to this tape” it was shitty how she pretended how he and Shaun never meet “Im sorry…for all of this” then silence, a long long silence, every soldier in the room was asking themselves if they should say anything, Arthur was just caressing the back of Shaun not looking at them until…in the recording there was audible pain, cries of effort and pain from Noras voice, panthing until a loud and tearing cry break the recording and everyones ears, same with the sound of the pipboy crashing against the ground, moving and scratching. For what they all can assume Nora was In heavy pain surely holding herself. Then a horrible water sound as she kept screaming.

“Nora!?” the voice of a man in the distance, big and heavy steps running on a corridor until they heard a motion of sounds they can only picture by paying attention. She was struggling in pain and he was agitated from all the commotion “wheres the baby!?”

“Its coming!“ Nora mumble crying of pain “the other one is coming!” the audience think that the second one should be Arya…

“Where is he!?” ask the man angered and in total confusion. The sequence of sounds was difficult to keep on and understand what was happening but Arthur could with the explanation Preston gave him a few days ago, he couldn’t blame the minutemen general at all, he did his best, he condone this behavior “Nora!” movement, a lot of movement and touch on the pipboy causing static and hit sounds on the recording device until the only thing that can be heard was her cries of pain and the engines of the cryo room, that lasted for long until she spoke

“His name is Shaun” say Nora between cries of pain “Look at him, how can he not!?”

“This is wrong!” scream Preston automatically but still carry and run as faster he could with the woman in arms again from what they can all heard and assume by the noises and context. For Arthur this was like living the moment as an spectator and…he keep caressing his babys back, dissociating, only hearing at the recording and feeling the warm of his baby back on his palm “What did you do!?” loud steps could be heard in a corridor among the sounds of fabric moving, but there was also the sounds of the pipboy being touched and used like when you touch a microphone “What are you doing this is not the time!” not so long of hearing the taps on the pipboy the recording stoped, the terminal stop playing the holotape and everybody in the room went silent for a long long time…

After like 10 minutes of uncomfortable silence Arthur came back to reality, holding better on the baby to secure it and grasp his throat.

-Soldiers, your thoughts? –Damn that was a thing that Nora said

-That was hard to hear…-said Ingram with a dark gaze on her eyes

-I might have to update some health reports on 3 people…did you tell Arya any of this? –the elder denied with the head at Cade question-okay only three then.

-Who was the man in the recording? –ask Kells

-I think it was Preston Garvey –said Ingram and the elder agree- both are minutemen general

-Why did you make us heard this elder? –ask one of the paladins that follow both in so many missions, he was invited to todays meeting because of having such a close relationship to both.

-Im trying to get a better background to my childrens since I cannot follow them since the beginning, specially Shaun –reply the elder- any comment is welcome

-Well…Shaun has less exposure to radiation that’s for sure…-said Ingram, Arya travel almost an entire day in the commonwealth in a carvan and Shaun had a thirty minute fly in a ventibird.

-Just when you think you know a person enough –mumble Kells low

-She is not even here- said a paladin.

-Does any of us engage communication with her lately? –ask another of the group of paladins. All people in the room denied.

-I heard some alarming gossip –said Captain Kells, who never liked Nora enough- that she may be suitable for an elder choice

That comment take Arthur out of place -You mean that some elder wants to marry her? –Kells denied with the head.

-No, that based in her accomplishments and triumphs some people is willing to elect and vote her as elder one day-Silence, until Ingram spoke.

-But there’s no problems of leadership in the brotherhood right now –that was true, since Arthur was chosen almost 17 years ago everything was peaceful, the chapter he take command was the last one with problems, and he was doing a damn good job keeping things in place to keep it like this so no one would reject their desition of making a 16 year old boy elder, even 8 years ago they fully recognized their leadership fully.

-She isn’t as good as a leader tho –said one of the paladins

-What do you mean? She is general of the minutemen –true, she has a lot of experience- runs also a functional vault and operates well in emergencies –like the radstorm that last for more than a month a few years ago

-Yeah but we have seen how disorganized and not trustworthy her people are –also true, selling a valuable asset like a pipboy for only 1000 caps each person in the room after so long being in the position- very different from a military organization and their rules –also also  trueeeeeeeeee.

-She may face struggles and need a lot of time to…settle in the position –said Kells.

Arthur sat in a chair, never actually thought in the possibility of…having common kids with another elder, its true, if he win his position more by meritocracy than by  his last name what would keep one of the few sentinels in the brotherhood to become elder someday? In the moment he sat Shaun started to move uncomfortable, so he keep moving his arms to keep on peace with the movement hes been having this whole hour calming his baby son.

-We all see and know the history of elders not fitting the position and not adjusting enough on time, and she never was fond of brotherhood customs and rules, also operates alone until the last time I saw her work outside –said Cade

-Captain Kells –call the elder to the man who looked at him- what this does have to do  with my children? –Arthur was a bit confused, yeah, this information, this debate, this buckle of possibilities of dealing with Nora as a possible elder…fucked up his mind

Silence.

-She is…the mother of Maxsons childs…sir- not enough reason everyone understand.

-Thank you for…enlighten me with this information…-said Arthur a bit shocked, he can never unplug from this woman apparently- where did you hear it?

-Just rumors between high commanders- it wasn’t necessary being a Maxson to be elder, neither exclusive but Nora in some way is an magnificent soldier with many remarkable achievements and…a Maxson too. In the moment he decided to stay linked forever with her he settle up her career as possible elder, even tho she was always extraordinary.

They were linked by something stronger that no lie can hide. The adn chain of their children together. He moved Shaun to sleep on his chest as he was sitting now in a chair and look at his light blue eyes for some moments.

-Do you all think she may be a good replacement of leader for any chapter? –ask a paladin- working with her was hard a lot of times.

-Well the progress and peace in her settlements is pretty visible –said Arthur still looking at the baby half closed eyes- maybe her methods needs to be more brotherhood polished but they work

-They are no educated people –said Ingram to be fair- it takes time and they show up to be stable

-Even when she isn’t around since a long time –said one of the paladins- Hardware town was our first work together and we have an amazing relationship with the minutemens and the caravans stopping by

Arthurs hands posed over the babys head caressing it slowly, leaving a little kiss. If by any reason she rises to elder…His children would owe loyalty to the mother who abandoned them. He sighted long letting the air go slowly…taking his time to process the information-I wasn’t aware of this

-Its just a gossip anyway, she isn’t very present in the brotherhood basis, for what I heard she helps on missions more on in a companion and support role than anything –said Kells to reassure the elder Maxson.

-Theres a thing for sure, I don’t think she is going to get married –everyone in the room look bad at the paladin- she is like what? 46 now? probably infertile, the most interesting feature about a prewar woman is her clean genes, if some high command wanted to marry her they would already try for that reason, now it would be difficult to get her pregnant –no matter if it was true or not it was just rude saying that in the same room were the elder was present.

-You say that but she had twins in contraception –say Ingram- she is surely more healthy than any of us here present

-Not exactly at the moment she got pregnant –refuted Cade- but after…yes…she was healthy as far I knew from her last health reports, although I didn’t do it myself

-Im sure some high command will try –say Ingram.

-Not that I was informed or aware recently –Arthur interrupted. Obviously no one in this room or in this chapter or the Brotherhood will try to touch Nora after what hes been trought with her- im not worried about that, she is the sentinel, she can choose her own path, just because of that she is a valuable trophy wife for anyone to try…-Of course the rumours of her and Arthur doesn’t help to match her with another brotherhood soldier.

-But anyway there should be some kind of apocalyptic event in the brotherhood circles for some elder or high command to look after her hand in union, marrying a hero after all always gives a clean image –said Kells. Nora will surely reject a petition like that no matter who gives it or in exchange or what thing.

-Lets not forget our main conversation here –said Cade- your daughter already knows who her mother is since she is pretty famous in our chapter history specially, your son will surely know at somepoint, my thoughts –the main focus of the reunion- is that you should both talk and agree some…tale to tell, a plan in case your children’s meet her and if other elders ask her anything, so both storys doesn’t collide and cause chaos. Im sure now Nora is managing well all the questions of other elders but she maybe relays too much on her title and…you should both agree a course of action…elder Maxson…

All the soldiers agree in the table, Arthur took a time still caressing the head  of his baby and then look up at the ceiling, exhaling some air off.

-Thank you for your toughts soldiers, I need some  time alone, you are all dismissed.

When everyone was out the room, he look down at his baby for a while, they were right, he should think in Arya first, if she was going to be anything like her mother she would be hard to trick in a few years…

So three more years passed until Nora arrived back to the Commonwealth, in company of the same squad she left the last time. They were all alive.
