Ed shifted in her seat as she tried to get comfortable for the duration of her train ride. She had hope she'd seen the last of those damn things after returning from her travels. After Al got his strength back, he and Ed went separate ways. After her travels were done, Ed was hoping to stick around Central, and finally gain enough courage to confess her feelings to a certain General. Or at least that had been her plan. A well thought out plan that had back fired. Now she was on her way to Resembool and didn't plan on ever leaving.

She sighed as she thought about last night's events.

General Roy Mustang and Ed sat in his office, working on a new case. Numerous houses in Central had been broken into and robbed. Although there had been no physical harm to the citizens of Central, it was better to safe than sorry.

Ed was no longer in the military, but she enjoyed helping when she could. Especially since it allowed her to be close to her once superior office. She and Roy had actually gotten close after the Promised Day. Whenever she was visiting Al in the hospital, she made sure to visit the Flame Alchemist as well. When Ed was off on her last adventure, she made sure to keep in contact with him.

Ed sighed as she rubbed her temples, it was getting late and she was getting a headache for looking over files for the last few hours. "Everything alright, Fullmetal?" Mustang asked as he looked over the paper he was reading. She nodded, "Just tired. That's all." Ed couldn't help but tense a bit when she noticed the General still staring at her.

"What?" She asked as her cheeks turned a soft shade of pink. Mustang sat the paper on the desk and moved closer to her. Soon, Ed's hand was in Roy's. Butterflies formed in the pit of Ed's stomach and all she could do was stare. Roy then leaned in and their lips met.

The womanizer of central, the ladies' man, kissed Ed. Ed, at first, didn't know how to react but soon she found herself kissing the raven-haired man.

He kissed her again and nibbled her lips, asking for entrance. Ed parted her lips slightly and soon their tongues fought for dominance. He pulled her on his lap, not breaking the kiss.

The next morning, Ed woke up by herself on the couch. She couldn't help but frown. She longed for Roy's warmth. As she got up, she winced from the soreness and began to get dressed. It was 7:10 and she had roughly about 20 minutes before Mustang's team started to arrive. Ed left Mustang's office and headed to the restroom.

She was about to open the door when a familiar voice came from inside. "I don't know what I was thinking….." She froze. "It was a mistake, a onetime thing…." Her heart broke as she realized there was no way he would ever want someone like her..

Present:

Ed gathered her belongs, the few that she had, as the train came to a stop. "Sister!" She heard as she stepped off of the train. She couldn't help but smile when she saw Al, it was still so surreal that he was in his body. Al was holding his little girl, Trisha. "Auntie Ed!" Ed walk towards them and placed her hand on Al's shoulder, "Thanks for picking me up in such short notice." She ruffled Trisha's hair, "So where's Win?"

"She stayed home to make some apple pie." He smiled. Al and Winry had gotten together a year after he got his body back. Not long after, they got married and had Trisha. It may have seemed a little rushed at the time, but in Ed's opinion they made the right decision. They were both happy and in love. They had something that she herself longed for. Not that she would ever admit to anyone, but Ed was lonely. That's why it hurt so bad that her plans, her dreams per say, didn't follow through.

"So did you help solve the case, sister? I wasn't expecting you back until a few more days." Al asked as they walked. Ed laughed nervously when she thought back to last night, "Well you know me. It was a piece of cake." She hated lying to Al, but what else could she say?

Weeks later:

Ed found herself waiting in the doctor's office along with a very irritated Al. A few weeks ago Ed began getting sick and nauseous daily, and not to mention her mood was more unstable than usual. It didn't take long before Al connected the dots. Ed was the same way Winry was when she was pregnant.

It hurt Al that his own sister would hide something this serious from him. That was why he dragged her here in the first place.

The door opened soon after and in came a bespectacled doctor. After he took his seat, he read through the files in his hands and looked up with a smile. "Congratulation, Ms. Elric. You are pregnant." Ed dropped her head down as in defeat. Besides her, Al stood from his sit and walked out the office, letting the door slam behind him.

"I think I'll take my leave now." Ed mumble as she stood and followed after her brother. Al was already heading for the clinic's exist. "Al! Hold up!" Ed called out as she caught up to him. Al stood with his back facing the small blonde. "It's Mustang's, isn't it?" Al said bitterly. Ed cringed a little at the harshness of her brother. "Nothing gets by you, Al." She let out a nervous chuckle that was cut short once Al turned to face her. Saying Al was pissed was an understatement, he was beyond furious. "Bastard's going to pay…" he growled as he was about to storm out of the clinic. Ed grabbed his hand, "Al, I don't want him to know…. He doesn't want anything to do with me… Why do you think I didn't mention anything to you…" Ed mumbled quietly.

Al's expression sadden and he pulled his sister into a hug. "I'm sorry, sister…."

Ed could feel tears beginning to form and she closed her eyes. "How am I supposed to go through with this….?" Al rubbed Ed's back, " Winry and I will help you… And I'm sure Trisha will love having a cousin." He chuckled lightly. Ed sighed, "Thanks Al."

He placed his hand on her shoulder, "Don't mention it. Now, let's go tell Winry. She's going to flip!" He said as he pulled Ed out of the clinic.

Months later:

Ed sat on the couch as Winry and Al were franticly packing at last minute. They were leaving for the weekend to go to a family wedding, from Winry's side. "Ed, are you sure you'll be okay?" Al asked as he finished zipping up their suitcase. Ed nodded. "Yea, I'll be fine. Have fun." She stood and walked them to the door. Al and Winry had both insisted her to go with them, but Ed was not for socializing with people.

"Don't forget to take the vitamins." Winry said as they walk out the door. "Yea, yea. Have a safe trip. And don't cause your parents too much trouble." Ed ruffled Trisha's hair. She giggled and hugged her aunt's leg. "Okay, Auntie Ed."

Ed sighed as she watched her brother and his family leave, "I guess it's just us two." She placed her hand on the small bump that was growing each day. At four month pregnant Ed was getting really fond of the idea of actually having this baby, even though the father wouldn't be present. It hurt and at times she would want to call Roy and tell him, but she couldn't.

As she headed for the couch there was a knock on the door, "Must have forgotten their keys." She chuckled and opened the door, "What did-"The small blond froze when she realized it was neither Al nor Winry standing on the porch.

"Edward…"

"Edward? Well that's new… What do you want, General Bastard?" She growled. "We need to talk, you left without a word…" Ed felt a knot forming in her throat. "No…. Like you said, it was a mistake…." She mumbled. His eyes widened in surprise, "You heard that…?" Ed nodded slightly, she could feel tears starting to form, hooray for hormones.

He cleared his throat, "That night wasn't a mistake. The mistake was that I waited too long. The mistake was that I let you go…."

"I think you should go…" Ed's voice cracked and it wouldn't be long before she would start sobbing.

Mustang shook his head, "I'm not leaving you again…"

"You sure know how to fuck with my emotions, don't you? I was nothing more than a mistake to you. Do you know how hard it is to forget you? To forget that night? You don't care for anyone but yourself!" Ed sobbed. "JUST LEAVE US ALONE!" She managed to slam the door hard, it was a surprise it didn't come flying off.

"Ed… Please…" Roy said from the other side of the door.

Ed hesitated. "Just leave… We- Ah!" She cried as she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Ed, just calm down. "Ed, are you okay?" Roy called, he sounded worried. "Yea, I just—Ah- fuck…" Ed mumbled as the pain got more intense. She tried to move to the couch but collapsed and another wave of pain struck her. She cried and held her stomach. Mustang rushed in and ran to her said, "Ed, what's wrong?" He asked frantically. All Ed could do was cry, "my baby…" She mumbled as darkness over took her.

When Ed woke up, her hand was held in a warm embrace. She turned her head to see Mustang sleeping and holding her hand besides her. She moved her hand out of his. He shifted a little before he looked up, "You're awake." He smiled. Ed couldn't help but looked away. She then realized where she was and paniced. "Mustang, the baby-"

"They baby is okay." He whispered as he reached for her hand again and kissed it. Ed didn't bother moving her hand this time. "What happened?" she mumbled.

"Stress, but the doctor said with rest and relaxing you two will be fine." He said as he kissed each of her fingertips. Ed cleared my throat and finally pulled her hand out of his again, "Why are you still here?" He gave her a hurt look. "Edward, I love you. You're caring my child." He paused for a few moments. "Why did you hide this…?" He placed a hand one the blonde's stomach.

Ed bit her lip trying not to cry, "Stop lying, you bastard…"

He leaned and kissed her forehead, "Ed, I'm not lying. I love you, Edward."

Ed looked up to see Roy, "I swear, if you're lying. I'll castrate you." she mumbled through tears.

Roy chuckled nervously, "Yea. I don't doubt that." He placed his hand on her stomach and rubbed it gently, "But I'm not lying. I love you, Ed. So much." Ed placed her hand over his and smiled slightly. In all truth she believed him and she was happy he was there.

Ed winced a little when she felt a small jolt of pain. Mustang looked up at her wide eyed, having felt it too. "Did he just kick…?" He whispered. She nodded, "Yea, he started kicking a few days ago. And by the looks of it he, or she, is going to be a soccer player."
"Does it hurt?" he asked as he continued to rub her stomach. She shook her head slightly.

"Sister!" Ed looked up to the door to find a breathless Al. "Al, we're okay. It was just stress. I didn't mean to worry you." She frowned. "Sister, you have to be more careful." He sighed. He's worried expression quickly changed when he noticed Mustang. "Was it because of him?" He glared. Roy gulped, "Nice to see you to Al." He said nervously.

"Al, it's okay. Everything's okay." Ed said trying to calm him down. He sighed, "You better watch yourself, Mustang." Al mumbled as he left.
