Like Father Like Daughter

"Night little one"Ed said to his five year old little girl.

"Night daddy!"she said with a toothless smile.

"I'll be back soon ok, I just have to go on a trip for work ok?"

"Yup I'll see you soon daddy!!" Ed truned away from his daughter and closed her door. He couldn't stand lying to her. He knew that he wouldn't be able to come back any time soon. Hell, he'd be lucky to be back to see her get married. He'd be lucky to be back at all. He hated leaving winry to raise her and the twins but, this was the life he choose when he was twelve. He never dreamed that it would come back to him this late in life but, at least staying in the military had it's benefits. Winry Addison, Ashly and Avery would get protection. He just had gone down the stairs and Winry met him at the bottom.

"Ed are you sure you have to go I mean wouldn't it be safer for you to be her to protect Addsion and the twins. I mean you know how much she loves you, she'll be devastated when she finds you dad isn't coimg back."

"I know winry but, we have no idea what we are facing so I don't know if I can prtect you guys. You'll have one week from tomorrow to pack up and then someone will come and pick you guys up and move you to a safe location. I've left enough money that if you cant get work you guys will be taken care of. I love and now I have to go. I'm so sorry I'll be back as soon as I can." with that he gave winry one last kiss and left.
