The sun was shining brightly overhead without a cloud in sight, a usual summer day when living in Resembool. The autumn was cool, the winter was freezing, the spring was just right, and the summer was blazing. Though on this particular summer day, Winry was feeling hotter than usual.

She sat out on the porch of their house, fanning herself with her hand and smiling when the sun casted light off of her new ring. Yup, I'm married now! She thought this happily, while putting her hand out from under the shade of the porch and into the blinding sunlight, admiring it.

They had just gotten married a few months ago, six to be exact, and they were the best months of her life. Though, her husband did get on her nerves quite a lot, they were still the best months.

"Stop staring at that thing would you?"

Ah, there he was now, "Hmph, why should I? And don't call it 'that thing'!I like it, it's pretty, and therefore, I will admire it!" She turned to give Ed, now her husband, a teasing smile, intentionally making him blush. Neither of them said anything about it but, it was like a game they played. One would say something to cause the other to blush, making them feel embarrassed. They had teased each other since they were little but, it was different now that they were married.

"Well, I was the one who bought it." Ed spoke smugly as he sat down next to Winry on the porch steps. "What're you doing out here anyway?"

"It was way too hot inside! You didn't feel like you were baking in there?" She looked at him with incredulous eyes. It had felt like it was a hundred degrees inside of there and now that she thought about it, it really didn't feel all that different outside.

"Umm, no. It really isn't that hot, I would know since I have metal attached to me." Ed patted his leg while speaking, "Do you really feel that hot?"

She thought about this for a moment. He really doesn't feel how hot it is? Is it just me? Her thoughts were interrupted by a silhouette appearing down the road to their house.

"Well, hello you two love birds! Admiring the scenery are we?" Alphonse waved to them while nearing the house.

A deep scarlet blush came across Ed's face and he got up, still having the habit to back away from Winry when he was teased about their relationship.

"Well, the Automail Princess here says, it's way too hot to be inside so she came out here." Ed walked over to Al and gave a thump on the back, their usual greeting, and walked with him back over to the overheating Winry.

"Too hot?" Al questioned, "It's really not that hot today, and this has been one of the coolest days of the summer yet." He looked at Winry who seemed to be sweating bullets.

"Seriously?" Winry asked as she got up and gave Al a hug, "It feels like the hottest to me, and not just outside but inside too." She began fanning her shirt, her body feeling hotter now.

Al, feeling a bit worried, questioned Winry a bit further, "How long have you felt like this?"

"Hmm, maybe five or six days? I don't really know. I haven't kept track of it." She turned and grabbed Ed's hands, "Ed fan me too will you?" She now had four hands blowing air at her but it still wasn't enough.

"Ah screw it. I'm going to go down by the lake for a little while." She left Ed's hands in midair and began to walk down the path, mumbling that they were crazy for thinking that it wasn't hot today, "I'll be back soon okay!" She yelled back to them and disappeared down the hill.

"What do you think that was about?" Ed asked his brother as they walked back inside the house. Not waiting for Al's reply, he went to straight to the kitchen and opened the fridge, giving a look of detest to the milk carton before he pulled out Winry's lemonade.

"You want some lemonade Al?! It's really good!" He yelled over to his brother who had gone to sit down in the living room.

"Yeah, that'd be nice! Thanks brother!" The both of them knew that they didn't have to yell to hear each other, but it was a habit, they had done that since they were little.

Ed poured the glasses, and walked back into the living room where Al was waiting, "So, what's up? Did you need something?" He asked as he handed the glass over to Al. It was unusual for him to come over unannounced, not that he needed to be, it was just that he had the unusual habit of calling before coming over.

"Not really, I just wanted to stop by and see how you two love birds were do-" Al didn't get to finish his sentence before Ed hit him over the head.

"Shut up with that! Geez, how long will it be before I stopped getting messed with about marrying Winry?" Ed began muttering to himself, "It's not like getting married is an unusual thing! People do it every day! What's the difference if I do it? Man, even Winry messes with me about it and she's the one I married!"

"Pfft! Hahahahaha!" Al couldn't suppress his laughter any longer. Seeing his brother muttering to himself about marriage was just too hilarious. "Well, at least it isn't short jokes anymore!

Ed laughed too, unable to resist. "Well, thank goodness for that, not that I was short or anything." Denial colored the last part of his sentence.

Al began laughing again, and Ed soon joined in. He was happy that they were able to laugh like this, happy that they were finally able to live out normal lives. Lives not centered on searching for something, or just one goal. They could finally have new goals every day, and as many as they wanted.

They're laughter was cut short by the sound of the front door slamming. "What the hell?" Ed spoke as he began to get up from his chair, but he stopped when Winry appeared in the hallway, giving them a glare of annoyance.

"The lake didn't work. I'm going to bed." She stated the sentences plainly; the only emotion behind them was irritation.

"Eh, Already? It's only five in the evening?!" Ed called out to Winry but she had already made it up the stairs and into the bedroom, he knew she had made into the room when he heard another door slam shut.

"Geez, what's with her?" Ed wondered as he sat back down, truly curious about her recent behavior.

"Beats me." Al feigned his lack of knowledge about the situation. He already had an idea about what was going on, but it wasn't his place to go and talk about it. That was going to be between his brother and Winry.

Really, Ed thought, I wonder what it is?

Winry had slept all throughout the rest of the day, missing the remaning half of Al's visit, and throughout most of night, only to be horribly awakened by the wrenching of her stomach.

She flew out of bed and into the bathroom, making in to the toilet just in time for her to vomit all of her stomach's contents. It was a horrible feeling; it rushed up her throat with no regards as to how it felt to her, leaving a burning sensation in both her stomach and her throat.

Ed, thinking that she had just needed to go to the bathroom really bad, had rushed over to her when he heard vomiting sounds, and saw her hugging the toilet, looking completely miserable. He walked over and held her hair back for her, feeling utterly helpless.

"Hey Win," he kneeled down next to her and spoke once it looked like she was done vomiting, "are you alright now? What happened?"

She wiped her mouth with a now steady hand, "Mm, I think I'm alright now." It was true, the nausea and wrenching of her stomach had stopped all of a sudden.

Ed wasn't entirely convinced, "Are you sure? Don't you think you should go see a doctor later?"

"No." She immediately refused the idea, "I am a doctor dummy. I think it was just probably something I ate. Don't worry about it!" She smiled at him, got up and went to thoroughly brush her teeth.

"If you say so." A yawn took over his sentence, "Are you gonna come back to bed?"

"Yeah, just let me finish brushing my teeth." She said with a foamy mouth.

"Alright then."

Once Ed had left the bathroom, Winry immediately spit out the foamy toothpaste in her mouth and pulled her shirt up, examining her abdomen. Could it be?

Her mind went on a mental spiral. She thought back to the first day of her last period, and gasped when she realized that she was late, really late. Okay, now what else? She asked herself. For one, she had been really moody lately, she had also been feeling abnormally hot, and she was craving strange things.

If it were true, it would explain all the recent behavioral changes in her recently, but she would have to rethink about going to the doctor then. I have no choice. This kind of thing she be handled by doctors who specialize in that area. She thought, her logical side getting the better of her.

She looked back at the reflection of her bare stomach in the mirror, a smile full of wonder spreading on her face. Could I really be…pregnant?
