Summary: Mama Murphy had never been wrong before.

A/N: This piece was written for the Fallout kink meme and for once it's not smutty, it's cute and fluffy lol

The original prompt was as follows: Mama Murphy knows your future romance. What if she one of her predictions is about a romance? What comments would she say to SS? Maybe before SS hadn't stopped by Good Neighbor, gone to Diamond City, or picked up some random military signal quite yet? Or maybe someone overhears it and knows who Mama Murphy is talking about before SS does. Maybe a flashback to the convo where the SS realizes OH THAT'S WHO SHE MEANT.


Cherry smiled warmly at Hancock as he offered her the last of his lunch. He was such a softy when you got past the badass front. She looked up at him through her lashes and wondered if he'd figured out she was sweet on him yet. The scent of gun oil permeated her nose. There was something about it - something she was supposed to remember -

It hit her like a mini nuke -


Mama Murphy shambled into her house.

"Hey Mama, how's life treatin' ya?"

"Good, kid, good." She took a seat next to Cherry and watched her clean her guns. Mama Murphy sniffed. "You'll smell that, when he realises how he feels about you."

"What?"

"Your match."

Cherry put down the rag, giving the older woman her full attention. "Explain."

"Your partner, your other half."

"Nate?"

"No the other one."

She shook her head, "No Mama, there will only ever be one man in my life, my – hus – my late husband."

Mama Murphy shook her head, "You're wrong kid, your heart is big enough for two. You'll like him immediately, he's different but in the best way." The older woman looked off into the distance smiling, "He likes the way you say his name." The information ticked over in Cherry's head, Mama Murphy had neverbeen wrong before.

She smiled, "Who is he? Where do I meet him? What's he like?" She thought for a second, "Is he cute?"

Mama Murphy lifted herself off the couch. "You'll see kid."

"Mama! Wait! I had more questions."

The woman shook her head, "You'll ruin the surprise." And with that she was gone.

Cherry sat dumbfounded, "Damn." She shook her head and went back to cleaning. "Old woman's batty."


She almost dropped the Mac 'n' Cheese.

"Get the fuck out."

Hancock looked up from his shotgun. "What is it Cherry?" The light hit his face and she was struck with how handsome she found her companion.

She gave him a dazzling smile, "Nothing - John."
