A/N: Okay, so this is a random drabble. I NEVER write FMA stories. I finished watching Brotherhood for the third time and this one-shot popped up in my head so...here goes nothing.
Remember to REVIEW and tell me what you think, please!
Disclaimer: I don't own Full Metal Alchemist.
Winry held the phone up to her ear as she chewed on her nails nervously. She tapped her foot on the old, wooden floor. She could hear Den barking at some neighbors outside, but she gave no heed to it. Her stomach did back flips and her palms were sweaty.
Pick up, pick up, pick up!
The dial went mute and she let out a shaky breath.
I knew it. It was –
"Winry?" Came a muffled question from the other line.
The young woman jumped in excitement and held the phone with both hands. Her eyes sparkled with happiness and a smile stretched from ear to ear.
"Al!" She yelled through the phone in pure excitement. "Is Ed there?" She inquired, patting her stomack affectionately as she waited for the younger man's response.
She waited. A minute passed by. Nothing.
She groaned and tried again when she heard Al speak, "Ni-san is coming, Winry."
"Arigatou!" She said in pure bliss, fighting the urge to squeal in excitement and joy.
Winry was beyond eager to tell Ed the news and she just knew that he would be extremely pleased as well. Why wouldn't he, right?
"Winry," Ed dragged out and she heard him yawn. "What?"
Winry pouted at his response and huffed, resting the phone on her shoulder and crossing her arms under her breasts. "Are you going to sleep late? Are you drinking your milk? Are you oiling your –"
"Winry!" He groaned through the other line, making the blonde sigh and tug at her lower lip.
"Hai, hai," she said lazily, grabbing the phone with her left hand and waving her right hand in front of her face in an amused way. "Ne, Ed?"
"Hm?"
If I told you we were going to become a family, what would you say?
Blank.
Silence.
Dial tone.
"Ed!" Winry shrieked as she heard a thump! on the other line. "Ed?" She asked, hearing Al screaming in fear.
Ni-san? Ni-san!
Soon after, Winry heard the sound of a basket falling on the floor and she turned to meet with wide eyes. Pinako stared agape at her granddaughter. The old woman blinked a few times and Den –who was next to her- barked, his tail moving from right to left.
"Ano…Pinako…" Winry stuttered, coiling the cord of the phone through her fingers nervously.
"NANI?" Pinako shrieked, strutting over to Winry and yanking the phone away from her. "Oi, Edward, what's this?" She barked through the phone, Winry backing away from Pinako in absolute fear.
"Pinako? It's Alphonse. Brother just fainted… Pinako?"
And Pinako spiraled down to the floor after her flailing. And Winry stared at her grandmother lying unconscious on the floor and she sighed.
Family shall be family…
