A/N: just a little contribution to RoyAi day. Based on a personal experience. It happened just yesterday. I was out with my 4 baby cousins and I was asked to take them shopping, get my cousin checked up on the doctor and all those stuff. I just came up with this crazy idea after the day was over.

Disclaimer: if fma was mine, there's no such thing as anti fraternization law.

AAN: characters may be OOC, the mustang kids are my characters.


It was a bright Sunday morning at Central, and a certain Mustang family was scheduled to have the whole day for themselves. Though the day wasn't just a regular Sunday morning. It was Roy and Riza's anniversary. Unfortunately, they couldn't spend the day just by themselves, for no one will watch over their four beautiful children and errands were demanding to be done.

The first child to be born was Hailey. She's an extremely intelligent and kind kid, and everyone looked up to her. She would rarely talk but when she does, you know she's not kidding around. Her stern persona would often keep her classmates a good distance from her, but still a lot would really try hard to be her friend. 98% of her entirety, she got from her mother, but the remaining 2% were her eyes which were clearly inherited from her father.

Next in line are the twins Ryan and Raven. Ryan is the most troublesome of the four. But nevertheless, he's still the apple of his daddy's eye, and here's why. Even at the age of 8, he could already break the girls' hearts with his flirtatious stare and captivate them with his infamous smirk he got from his womanizer father. His midnight black locks he would often run his fingers onto as he strides down the school hallways, his squinty Xingese dark orbs, the attitude, the overall appearance, everything about him screamed Roy Mustang's son. Ryan would get himself into all sorts of trouble anywhere and any way he can.

Raven is usually the one telling on her brother for the crimes he had made. Though it angers Ryan a lot, at the end of the day he still loves his sister very much. Raven takes on from both of her parents. In one angle, she's Riza, and on another, she's Roy.

The youngest of them all is Maes. He's still less than a year old and he's quite the mysterious type. Roy strongly predicts Maes will grow to be more just like him, much to Riza's chagrin.

That morning Riza had already finished preparing and serving breakfast, and is now cradling little Maes feeding him his milk bottle. A while later, Roy showed up on the staircase with his usual morning scruffy look. His hair was all over the place and his eyes, if still possible, were half open. The moment he saw his wife staring blankly at him, he heaved a huge yawn and eventually walked down to greet her with a smile.

"Good morning, love, and happy anniversary," he muttered to his wife as he hugged and kissed her full on the lips. Riza sighed and kissed him back. She balanced Maes on her left hand and brought up her right to fix his wild locks.

Roy kept his arms around her as he leaned down his forehead to meet hers. They locked gazes for a moment until Riza smiled up at him.

"Happy anniversary, Roy," she said. "I love you."

Roy sheepishly grinned and gave her a last huge kiss before he said, "I love you too." He pulled away from his wife to ruffle his youngest son's tiny dark tresses. He chuckled loudly when he was greeted by a familiar smirk from the tiny man. "Handsome as your pretty old man, eh Maes?" He smirked back at his baby.

Riza rolled her eyes but laughed with him anyways.

"Anyway, honey, what's for breakfast?"

"I already served it on the table. It's bacon, eggs, mashed potatoes and some corn relish. Call the kids too."

Roy practically ran over to the dining area to look at the breakfast platter. A huge grin crept up his face when he saw his favorite. "Alright! It's bacon. Hey kids, get up! Time for breakfast!"

The parents heard their children squeal in delight over their father's voice. Momentarily, 3 pairs of pitter patters were heard from the upper floor.

"Roy, you seem extra happy today. I just noticed." Riza noted.

"I don't know why you aren't that much happy. It's our day off! And alongside that, it's our anniversary!"

Riza didn't even have time to react for their children had already come down. Ryan rushed to his father and gave him a hug and a high five. Behind him was his twin Raven who joined in the hug. Hailey approached Riza first and greeted her with a kiss and a hug.

"Mornin' dad!" Ryan greeted.

"Good morning, buddy. You look handsome, as always." Roy replied with a smirk.

"Of course I am. Wouldn't woo the girls if I weren't, right?" Ryan laughed jokingly.

"That's my son. You're a natural, Ryan, I must say." Roy grinned.

Ryan shrugged and smiled back. "Well, I learned from the best." Roy guffawed at that and gave his son a fist bump. By then, Raven had already started eating her breakfast. Riza and Hailey watched the whole exchange and they threw each other a knowing look.

"Tch. Arrogant idiots." Hailey muttered and her mother chuckled inwardly.

As everyone dug in on their breakfast, Riza reminded her family of what they're scheduled to do for the rest of the day.

"Now, first we will go to school and get new books and uniform for you three kids, then Maes and I'll go visit the doctor for the monthly check up while you four go visit the dentist-"

She was cut off by a series of whines and complaints. Riza narrowed her eyes at them. "I hear one more whine and I'll be the one to hold the drill." It effectively shut them up. She sighed and continued, "then we'll go grocery shopping. After all that, if we have time we can go to the park. Is that clear?"

"Yes, mommy." They, Roy included, responded.


"Roy! Kids! Are you all done?" Riza called, balancing little Maes on her hip.

Hailey was the first to show up, all dressed, bathed and ready to go. As usual, she silently walks over to her mother and holds her hand. Then came down Roy and the twins.

"We're all set, mom!" Ryan replied cheerfully.

Riza smiled at the sight of her husband with Ryan riding on his shoulder and Raven in his arms. Roy really became the father and the husband they both wanted him to be. Their children added to the proof that he really is a great parent. Neither of them grew up with both loving parents, and with that they swore to each other that they'll show and give to their children something they both never had and experienced, and be the best parents they have ever had.

She burst out of her train of thought and smiled. "Alright, let's go."

The family finally arrived at Central High to get the kids' books and uniforms. Children were there with their respective parents, and some teenagers were just hanging out with their own circle. As the family walked down the halls, the twins came across some of their classmates and friends.

"Hi Valerie," Ryan greeted a blonde little girl with big blue eyes and long straight hair and a maroon dress.

The little girl looked up to the sound of her name being called. She paused from talking with her group of friends and squinted her eyes to the boy riding on his father's shoulders. Her pupils immediately dilated and she turned her back to them, pretending to be busy with something.

"Hey Mustang," she said. The family continued on walking.

"Valerie's the second girl of General Armstrong. She clearly likes me, you know." Ryan stated, unembarrassed.

Roy huffed and chuckled. "You like her back?"

Ryan placed his hand on his chin. "Hmm, I asked her out once, but she's really scary and loud. We normally get into arguments, and Raven knows all about it. Then the next thing I knew, she fell for my irresistible charms."

Raven looked at her twin incredulously. "Seriously, Ryan? 'Irresistible charms'?"

"What? I can't help it if I look like daddy."

"Yeah, I won't forget the day when your mother fell for my irresistible charms." Roy chuckled with the twins.

"Shut up, Mustang." Riza hissed at her husband.

"Oh please, mom, just admit it. That's why you married dad and you have us, because of his charms." Ryan told his mother.

"Ryan, I didn't choose to marry an arrogant idiot just for his 'charms' as you call it. I married him out of love and because of his dedication to his goals." Riza replied.

"But you must admit, dad's still handsome. He looks just like me!"

"Um, correction. You look just like me." Roy intervened. Riza sighed and focused her attention on Maes.

"But anyway, I may like a lot of girls but as long as I don't find someone like mom then I won't settle for any less."

"You're eight, Ryan. You shouldn't be thinking about settling yet." Raven said.

"Ryan, your ideal woman is your mother? Not that I'm complaining, though. Your mother is the perfect woman after all." Roy asked his son.

"Look, don't act like I'm not here." Riza said, but unfortunately she was ignored.

"Yeah, dad. I mean mom is very pretty and disciplined and she knows her stuffs. She could be a little strict but at least she loves us all too much and she doesn't hurt us in any way. She would rarely smile, but when she does it brightens up my day. I just want to make her smile more and more. I like someone like that. I want to love my best friend." Ryan said. Riza's face burned red and she smiled to herself.

"Like father, like son. You're a perfect reincarnation of me, buddy. I'm proud of you." Roy chuckled heartily.

"Oh my god, it's Ryoji!" Raven squeaked and hid her face on her daddy's shirt.

The family stopped dead on their tracks as they watched a small group of boys about to pass by. The boy looked fairly simple, and his hair was blonde. He had a baby face and he gives off a nice aura around him. Raven looked over her father's arm to look at her mom.

"Mommy, that's the boy I've been telling you about!" Raven whispered, clumsily hiding the huge blush on her face.

Unfortunately, Roy heard what his little girl said. His eye twitched whilst his eyebrows scrunched up.

"What was that, Raven?" Roy asked through his gritted teeth. Raven released a small 'eek' realizing what her father is getting to. Thankfully, Riza answered for her.

"Raven has a crush on that Ryoji kid, Roy, she tells me all about him and how kind he is to her," she answered.

"WHAT? A crush?" Roy fumed. Ryan's ears also perked up.

"Raven, you have a crush? But you can't have a crush! Why didn't you tell me this?" Ryan added, also fuming.

"Yes, I do have a crush and I'm allowed to feel emotions! I didn't tell you because I know what you're gonna say! You might even tell Ryoji about my feelings for him." Raven crossed her arms in frustration.

"Oh hey, Raven," Ryoji greeted her as the group passed by. "I like that dress on you, by the way," he added and started to leave with a smile on his face.

As soon as Ryoji passed by Hailey, the reincarnated Riza Hawkeye, caught his right arm with a vice-like grip. Ryoji was forced back to stop from advancing. Hailey rewarded him with a devious glare but with a smile on her face. Her iron grip was so tight, Ryoji's face was crumpled.

"Don't you dare even try to hurt my sister or I'll shoot your balls off, Ryoji." Hailey hissed, making everyone gulp and sweat.

"Yeah! You break her heart, I break your skeletal system." Ryan shouted.

"If you dare hurt my little princess, I'll turn you into a human torch, kid." Roy added with a deathly aura around him. "And my wife will-"

"-let you go safely now." Riza completed. "Run along, Ryoji. Hailey, release his arm." And she did. Ryoji ran away quickly with his friends.

"Dad! Ryan! Hailey! What was that for?!" Raven complained.

"Hey, we're just overprotective of you. You're a girl, and it's a man's job to protect girls like you from harm." Ryan answered as they started to walk again.

"But why is it the other way around with mom and dad? Mommy is the one protecting daddy." Raven asked innocently.

"Dad's gay." Hailey muttered seriously, and everyone burst out laughing except for her.

"Woaah, Hailey made a joke." Roy chuckled.

"It's not a joke."

Roy stopped midway through his laughter. "What?"


They were all done buying books and trying on their uniforms and were about to leave the room when suddenly a faculty staff approached them.

"Umm, excuse me, the principal wants to talk to you," she said.

As soon as they entered the principal's office, a brunette stood up and welcomed them.

"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Mustang, I am Miss Hale and I am their principal. Please, have a seat," She introduced herself as she exchanged handshakes with the parents. Riza set Maes's head on the crook of her neck so he could go deeper into his slumber.

"Good morning to you too, Principal Hale. What's the matter?" Roy asked her.

"I just want to report to you about the damages and expenses you have to pay," she answered simply.

Roy immediately turned to narrow his eyes at Ryan. "What did you do now, Ryan?"

"Why is it when there's something wrong, it's always me?" Ryan complained. Everyone threw him a blank stare. "Okay, it's me."

Roy and Riza heaved a huge sigh. It wasn't uncommon for their troublesome son to get this type of complaints every once in a while.

"Here's the list of things Ryan Mustang has broke, and beside them is the amount." The principal showed them a long paper. Riza furrowed her eyebrows and snatched the paper from her hands. She scanned all of the contents and shook her head.

"An anchor? Ryan, why did you break an anchor?" Riza scolded her son.

"I was trying to impress a girl... It worked!" Ryan threw his father a knowing smirk and Roy returned it back. They fist-bumped and laughed together.

Riza laughed very sarcastically. "Ha ha ha, you think it's so funny? Well, you pay for it." She shoved the paper onto Roy's chest.

Roy picked up the paper and scanned its contents as well.

"Ryan, how do you break a theatrical stage?" Roy asked with a shocked look on his face.

"Easy. You drop an anchor on it." He replied with a shrug.
