Chapter One

One evening while Roy, Riza and Jean were eating dinner, Roy thought he saw a tiny hand come from beneath the table and snatch a roll from his plate. He blinked twice, then he thought he was seeing things.

Then Jean was talking to Riza when from the corner of his eye he saw a tiny hand reach up and grabbed a roll from his plate. "What the hell!" Jean said, as he looked under the table and saw a small boy. Then he felt someone kick his shin, he yelled, "Get that damn brat, he kicked me!"

Riza hid the smile on her face, as she saw a toe head little boy stand up and with his fists up he shouted, "Don't you hurt my brother or I'll kick your ass you bastard!"

Just the Jean grabbed that boy by his collar and held him up as the little boy kicked his feet and shake his fists at them as he said again, "If you hurt my brother I'll kick your ass, you bastard."

The Maitre'de walked over to the table where Roy and the others were sitting, and told them, "I have to ask all of you to leave. You're disturbing the others."

Roy, Riza and Jean looked at each other, and chuckling Roy said, "I guess we have to leave, but I'm not going to let these urchins go. Where we go, they go."

So with Jean holding the young boy who looked older by the collar, and he said, "If you don't want your ass smacked, I suggest you and your little brother having you're bottoms spanked, be have."

So together they got up to leave, after paying the bill, they all walked out of the Restaurant and headed back to Central. As they walked, Riza smiled as she said, "This was a very interesting dinner."

Jean looked at the two kids then to Roy and Riza and said, "I have to agree. Now, what do we do with these two urchins?"

Roy looked down at the little one sleeping in Riza arms, then at the one giving them death looks and sighed then he said, "Hell I don't know, maybe throw them in that ditch and walk away."

Riza scowled at him and she said, "Just try it, and I'll shoot both you and Jean. We are going to take them to my place and both of you are going to help get them settled, is that under stood?" She asked as she pointed her revolvers at the men. They both shook their heads that they understood.

That night after the boys understood that the lady wasn't going to let either of the two men hurt them. The boys were getting tired, and Riza softly said to the youngest boy, "What are you're boys names?"

Then the boy yawned and told her, "My name is Al and I'm four and my brother over there is Ed and he's six. I'm real tired."

Riza smiled at Al and softly told him, "You and Ed can sleep on that bed. Don't worry no one will hurt you, I promise." So the two young boys fell asleep holding onto each other.

Roy looked at Riza and asked, "What do we do with them?"

Tears filled her eyes as she looked at the two sleeping little boys and she told him, "I don't really know, but what I do know is, I'm not taking these two little ones to any damn Orphanage.

So listen and listen to me Roy Mustang, I have two months of vacation time and I'm going to take care of them myself. If you don't like it, then just go to HELL!"

Riza walked over to the bed the boys were lying on, and she gently moved Al over and she covered them and then she laid down next to them and she fell asleep.

Jean looked at his boss and said, "She's one hell of a lady and I'm glad she's your."

Roy flipped Jean off and walked over and sat down on the recliner leaving the coach for Jean. Closing his eyes he said a silent prayer that Riza would be strong enough to face the future.

Riza felt a small hand holding into hers and she softly whispered, "I'll keep both of you safe, I promise." Then she too drifted off to sleep.

Roy got up and walked over and stood looking down at Riza and he was jealous because these two young boys were getting the attention that usually was for him alone. He knew he was an ungrateful bastard for feeling this way, but that was who he was.
