Too Many Questions
Disclaimer: Me no ownie FMA.
slight spoiler warning.
Riza was at home with her two little children Maes and Rebecca who was lovingly called Becky. The two curious children had been watching a game show and decided they should ask their much-loved mommy these personal and redundant questions catching Riza off guard.
"Ask your daddy when he gets home." said Riza as her two young children bombarded her with questions.
A few hours later
Roy walks though the door and takes off his coat before being bombarded by questions from his two and five year olds.
"Daddy where did you first meet mommy." asked Maes.
"Daddy how come you named me after Uncle Maes?" asked Maes.
"Daddy where do babies' come from?" asked Rebecca.
"Daddy how does ink come out of pens?" asked Rebecca.
"Too many questions! Ask your mom."
"Why are they asking all of these questions!" said Roy.
"I mean shouldn't their brains be fried by television and manga by now." said Roy.
"Roy, they're kids! More importantly they're our kids, and it's only natural for them to be curious." said Riza.
"Besides what did you expect when you named our son after Maes." said Riza.
"That's true." said Roy.
"At least you didn't buy him that camera he wanted last Christmas." said Riza.
"Yeah, or we'd never hear the end of it." said Roy thinking about the never ending camera flashes of Maes.
"Mommy mommy Maes pulleded my hair." whined Rebecca.
"Maes did you pull your sister's hair?" asked Riza.
"Yes." quietly said Maes.
"Then go apologize to her." said Riza.
"But mommy." said Maes.
"Maybe someone needs a time out." said Riza.
"No!" whined Maes.
"Then go apologize to your sister." said Riza.
Maes walked over to his little sister who was sitting on the floor crying her little eyes out.
"I sorry Becky." said Maes hugging his little sister and helping her off the ground.
"Let's go play." said Maes before running off to his room with Becky following.
"I love the way children forgive each other so quickly." said Roy.
"It makes you think why adults aren't so forgiving." said Riza.
Maes and Rebecca quietly returned to their parents in the den.
"Can we ask you those questions now?" asked Rebecca.
Riza looked at Roy who looked back into Riza reassuring eyes and sighed a "Yes."
"Where did you first meet mommy." asked Maes.
"I met your mommy at her house when I was learning Alchemy from her father."
"When did you fall in love?" asked Rebecca.
"That's easy, when I woke up the first night there and wondered down into the kitchen to grab something to eat when I saw a figure in the dark at first it scared the crap out of me, but then I flicked the light on and saw that it was a person." said Roy.
"Then your mom turned around and I swear I fell in love with her that moment." said Roy.
"That means you thought she was pretty." said Maes.
"Not pretty Maes, beautiful. Back then she had this cute short hair." said Roy.
"Mommy I like your hair long." said Rebecca.
"I like it long too." said Riza.
"Mommy why'd you grow your hair out?" asked Maes.
"Because I met a girl named Winry who convinced me to grow out my hair." said Riza.
"Uncle Ed's Winry." asked Maes.
"That's the one." said Riza.
"Yeah you guys have no idea how hard it was for your Uncle Ed to tell Winry he loved her." said Roy.
"Seriously one time I asked him if he loved Winry-chan and he completely freaked out and spilled tea everywhere." said Riza laughing.
"Was this before or after they were in a relationship?" asked Roy.
"Way before." responded Riza.
Maes continued the questions.
"Daddy how come you named me after Uncle Maes?" asked Maes.
"Because I have known Maes Hughes since our academy days and he's my most loyal and most trustworthy friend, even if his pictures are very annoying." said Roy.
"Daddy where do babies' come from?" asked Rebecca.
"Uhhh."said Roy.
'How do I explain this without going into "uncharted territory".' thought Roy.
"Becky you know that babies come from mommy's tummies." said Riza.
"I remember when mommy got really big cause you were in her tummy." said Maes.
"You were born the same way Maes." said Riza.
"Daddy how does ink come out of pens?" asked Rebecca.
"In some pens there are balls that when you write they roll and ink comes out." said Roy.
"That's why they're called ball point pens." said Roy.
"There's a ball in here?" asked Rebecca looking at a pen.
"Yes, Becky there's a ball in there." said Riza.
Rebecca tried to take the ball part out of the pen.
"Becky don't do that you'll get ink everywhere." said Riza.
"Okay." said Rebecca putting down the pen.
"Mommy I have another question for you." said Rebecca.
"Ask away." said Riza.
"What was your childhood like?" asked Rebecca.
Roy looked at the blank look on Riza's face and decided that she probably didn't want to answer this question.
"Okay I think that's enough questions for tonight." said Roy.
"Time to get dressed for bed." said Roy.
"But daddy it's only nine." said Maes.
"Yes and I think nine is a great time to go to bed." said Roy.
"Awww." said Maes and Rebecca simultaneously.
After Roy put the kids to sleep
"Riza are you alright you don't look so well." said Roy.
"Yeah it's just I don't know how I'm going to tell them about all of the alchemy, the tattoo on my back, or how my mother died." said Riza.
"It's alright, you don't have to tell them everything." said Roy.
"Get your mind off of this you can think of this in the morning." said Roy leaning in to kiss her.
"Besides I'm hungry and I want some food." said Roy.
Riza smiled
"You're such a child sometimes." said Riza kissing him back.
AN: Another story yay. This took me forever to write, sorry for making some of you wait so long. I hope you enjoyed it the next chapter will be about Riza's childhood...but don't expect it until August, because I'm going on vacation and that means no laptop for a while. Anyway I'm planning 2 or 3 chapters next month, so hold on 'til then. Thanks for reading and please review.
