A/N: Alright. I'm quite aware that Christmas was 2 months ago; however, this is not a Christmas fic. I'm just using the song title as a basis for this story or rather, collection of stories. I did originally plan on posting it at Christmas but, as you can plainly see, it didn't happen. Anyway, please enjoy this and let me know what you think in the comments. Thanks!


Baby Roy:

"Brother!" screamed Chris when the door opened in front of her. "It's been a while!"

"It sure has," laughed Jeremy while he gave her a big hug. "I only wish you were here to see me."

"Pfft…" she said as she handed him her purse and coat. "I've seen you way too much growing up. Now where's my nephew?"

"They're upstairs in the nursery."

Chris leapt up the stairs, leaving her brother behind. She could hear humming as she climbed the stairs to the second floor. Following the sound, she made her way to the nursery where she found her sister-in-law, Angela, sitting in a rocking chair by the window. In her arms was a pale blue bundle that she knew instantly was her newborn nephew.

"Hello Chris," said Angela, looking up at her.

"Good morning, Angela," said Chris, kissing her sister-in-law on the cheek. "You look great." Angela smiled.

"You're just saying that to make me feel better. I'm exhausted."

"You did just push something the size of a melon out of you. Kinda can't blame you for that."

Angela laughed quietly before turning her attention back to her son. Chris peered down into the bundle of blankets and almost squealed when she saw her sleeping nephew. He was absolutely adorable with a head full of dark hair and the roundest, chubbiest cheeks she had ever seen.

"He's so cute," she breathed.

"Do you want to hold him?"

"May I?" she asked in surprise as Angela handed the bundle to her. Chris carefully took the baby into her arms. The infant shifted a little in her arms before opening his eyes and looking up at her with his dark eyes. "Hi there, little man," she cooed. "I'm your Auntie Chris." The baby stared at her for a second longer before letting out a little yawn and going back to sleep.

He's so precious…

"Have you decided on a name for him?" she asked, looking up at her brother and sister-in-law.

"Roy," said Angela proudly.

"Short for 'Royal' because he's going to become Fuhrer one day," joked Jeremy.

Angela gently hit her husband. "Our son's barely two weeks old and you're already setting him up for failure?"

"Hey! You know the saying that if you want to reach for the moon you have to shoot for the stars?"

Chris just smiled and looked back at the sleeping baby in her arms. "I think Roy is a great name. Roy Mustang. Has a nice ring to it." She carefully handed little Roy back to his mom. "I'm also glad to see he's inherited his mom's looks and not his dad's. God forbid he grows up with that ugly nose," she joked.

"Hey! Like you should talk! You have the same nose! You just hide it under all that heavy makeup!"

"You wish. Mine's nowhere near as big."

Jeremy opened his mouth to retort but a piercing wail echoed through the room.

"Hush you two! You startled the baby," Angela scolded as she tried to calm the crying infant. She began humming a soothing lullaby while she rocked back and forth. Soon, the crying eventually faded into a barely audible whimper. Chris watched as Angela gently kissed baby Roy on the top of his head before placing him in the bassinet next to her. Looking back at her husband, she whispered. "I guess I better go get lunch ready."

"I'll do it," Chris quickly offered. "You should be resting."

"You sure?" asked Angela, a mixture of surprise and apprehension in her voice.

Chris waved her off. "I don't mind. Besides, taking care of a newborn is exhausting work. You two should take a nap or do something relaxing. I'll wake you when lunch is ready."

Angela smiled. "Alright then. Thank you."

"You're welcome." Chris turned and quickly made her way out of the room. When she reached the stairs, she paused and turned back to ask something but stopped when she saw the peaceful scene in front of her. Angela and Jeremy were both sitting on either side of the bassinet looking lovingly down at their sleeping baby. A stream of sunlight was coming in through the open window, bathing them all with a warm glow. Chris couldn't help but smile at the happy family.

They love each other so much, she thought as she walked away. And now they have a beautiful baby too. Seeing her brother like that made her suddenly wish that she too had a loving family just like him.

Who knows…maybe I'll settle down one day too, she thought as she quietly made her way to the kitchen.
