AN: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or its characters. Margret is not a character from Fullmetal Alchemist. Please read and enjoy!

The knock echoed through the small house, bouncing off the boxes that lined the walls. Roy Mustang went to open the door. When he did he was greeted by a blast of icy air and a child's cry. Roy spared a glance to look at the bundle at his feet. A baby and a letter. He couldn't leave the child in the cold so he lifted it into his arms and brought it inside. He would look for the baby's mom or dad later.

The letter fell to the floor and Roy only moved to pick it up when he say that it was (to Roy's great displeasure) for him. He could not remember making love with anyone around nine months ago except for…. No, he thought, that is not a possibility. Brushing any thoughts aside, he opened the letter.

Dear (something had been scratched out) Roy,

I haven't the means or time to care for this child but she is your daughter so can you take care of her for the time being? Her name is Margret. Please love her enough for me as well. I still love you.

The letter did not have a return address or a signature. Roy squinted at the hand writing the letter was written in. It was familiar but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. The baby wailed loudly. Hungry, Roy thought and went in search of some of the milk in the refrigerator. Damn no baby bottle! He cursed under his breath before putting the Margret in an empty cardboard box and walking to the door.

"I will be home soon Margret be good while I'm gone," Roy commanded the infant. The door swung open and he was saturated in snow very quickly. Once the door was shut and locked he walked down to the supermarket and into the baby section. Two bottles, a blanket, some socks, a few articles of clothing and… um… some sort of a baby bath? Roy quickly made a list in his head. Oh and some baby formula. I am in some seriously hot water now. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CARE FOR A KID!

Margret was still wailing loudly when Roy got home. He made some formula up quickly and placed the bottle in the box with her. The crying still didn't stop. "I gave you the bottle! What else do you need?" Roy shouted in an exasperated manner. Margret screamed even louder at the sudden noise.

AN: Please leave a review. I know that this story is a little bit awkward but... I will post the next chapter ASAP
