Disclaimer: I do not own Full Metal Alchemist (no matter how much I wish I did) Nor do I own any of the characters... ((Except for Liam))

This story has been rotting in the back of my mind for the longest time ever. I mean literally. The characters all have had their own lives and Edward is now 23, Alphonse being 22. From there you can figure out everyone else's ages. This an EdXLust story so bear with me….

The sun was well above the horizon as Ed made his way to military HQ. He was drowsy from the last few nights of little sleep and he was having trouble keeping his eyes open. He stumbled his way down the hall and sat down at his desk in the main office. he greeted Havoc and Feury with a sleepy nod. Riza eventually arrived and reported that Edward was to go see Colonel Mustang immediately.

Edward arrived at Mustang's office only to have his daily dose of height insults, yelling, orders, paper work and sor forth. By the time the day was over a slight head ache had crept it's way up and between his eyes. mix the new pain with his sleep deprived state and you get an easily irritated chibi. He managed to arrive back at his dorm and find his bed before he fell asleep. He curled up into a small ball, not bothering to change his clothes.

It was nearly two hours later when his phone rang. Ed opened one eye and groaned. He looked around and then closed it again.
"This can't be happening..." He groaned before getting up and answering the phone just to stop the insistant ringing.
"hello?" he half growled half mumbled.
"Edward..."
"Lust!?!" Ed said, now fully awake. "Why are you calling me at this time of all hours!?!"
"Well... I... Ed... you remember a few weeks ago... when..."
"How could I forget?"
"Well... I'm... pregnant..." Ed nearly dropped the phone.

Rain pelted the windows as Ed fumbled with his pocket watch. He was at the station in Central. Just what he needed, the train was fifteen minutes late and he himself was about to be late as well if things didn't begin to lighten up for the mood. And again, just his luck, who happened to be there right as the train pulled up? Maes Heughes and Roy Mustang. Oh joy.
