Forsaken: Prologue
o-o-o-o
"Brother, what if we can't defeat them?"
"Al, the homunculi need to be dealt with. We created one of those monsters."
"We're no match for them, brother."
The two brothers argued, without even realizing the blonde leaning against the wall, shaking.
Finally, she stepped out from behind the wall and made her presence known.
"You two are going off to do something dangerous again, aren't you?" Her voice was quiet, but the two boys' heads whipped around at once. A pair of glowing red dots and a pair of wide golden eyes stared at her.
A wet substance made its way down her cheeks as she stared back at them. "You're leaving, and this time you won't come back." Her hands balled into fists and she whispered, "Just like Mom and Dad." She turned and ran up the stairs to her room, each step thumping loudly, almost drowning out the yells of "Winry!" and the loud sobs escaping from her throat.
Her bed shook as she threw herself on it, burying her face in the pillows. Footsteps came closer, too soft for Alphonse's metal body, even now that he had become the legendary Philosopher's Stone. The soft sound of a door opening reached her ears, but she couldn't bring herself to look up at the golden eyed boy she knew stood in the doorway.
There were no words spoken as he sat himself down on her bed and placed a human hand on her shoulder.
"You never tell me anything." The words were muffled by the pillow, but the harsh tone was heard anyway.
There was a silence for a few moments, broken finally when Edward spoke. "We just didn't want you to worry."
She jerked upright and stuck her tear streaked face inches from his. "You're going to get yourself killed. Besides Granny, you're all I have left! Al's like family, I don't want to lose him like my parents. And dammit Ed! If you get yourself killed I don't know what I'd do. I LOVE you, you alchemy obsessed idiot!"
He simply stared at her with wide, unbelieving eyes.
"Well go on, say something. I just confessed, dammit!" Winry pounded her fists into his chest in anger at both Edward and herself. Her fists beat his chest with a steady rhythm, until an automail hand shot out and grasped her fist in midair. The hand brought hers to his chest and he leaned into her slowly. So slowly, she could do nothing but let him lean up against her until his mouth was at her ear.
Her face blushed red and her breathing quickened as she felt his hot breath on her skin.
"You…love…me?" His words were slow, almost as if they were forced. As if he didn't dare hope what she had said was true.
"Yes, I love you! And even though you could never feel th"-
Her words were cut off as his lips were roughly shoved against hers. The cracked lips pushed at hers with so much hope and want that she was left speechless as they pulled apart again.
"Winry…I-I…er…um…"
The usually confident teen stuttered as he tried desperately to put together a full sentence. His face was as red as hers, if not more. His head was bent low with his blonde bangs casting shadows over his tightly closed eyes. She reached out her arm and lifted his face up so that she could see his eyes.
They sat staring at each other; no more words needed to be spoken. The two leaned in closer and their lips touched, softly and hesitantly at first, but growing stronger and rougher as their kiss deepened. Her arms encircled his neck as his arms wrapped around her waist.
In the morning he and Al would leave to do something that very well might end both their lives, but right now, none of that mattered to them.

The memory ended too soon in her opinion, as she wished that night could have just continued on forever. But it had come to an end, in the way that all good things do eventually.
It had been nine months since that day, and she had not seen Edward once since the morning he left with Al. It was almost as if the Fullmetal Alchemist had just disappeared.
Alphonse had been found, malnourished with long unruly hair and no memory of the brothers' confrontation with the homunculi. Everyone knew Edward would never hesitate to return his brother's body, even if the equivalent exchange was his own life.
Edward was gone, something all of them had been forced to accept and live with, even Alphonse and herself.
And now, in her arms she held a newborn child, Allen Edward Rockbell.
The son of the Fullmetal Alchemist.
A/N: Well, this was an idea that randomly popped into my head. Actually, I can't see Winry getting pregnant at 16, but it had to happen for the sake of this fanfic. This is my first shot at a continuous story, so please review to help me improve. I have a picture of Allen, and soon I will have a link so you all can see it. Anyway, this changes this end of the anime a little. Alphonse has his 15 year old body, and all of his memories except for the day they fought the homunculi. Mustang killed Pride, and all the others are gone too. And Ed is still stuck in our world.
