I long to go home
AN: This is just a mixture of my estranged love for drama and being a romantic at heart. How many girls out there wish you had a guy who would give up everything for you? With my computer down I'll update when I came. I hope you enjoy this crazy but very sincere story of love, misunderstanding, confusion, and all coming together.
Edward sat on the porch of the house his mind drifting back to that day ten years ago. It was the day Al opened the gate to bring him back the day the other side of the gate invaded Amestris. The day he saw her for the time in two years. When she hugged him and told him welcome home. It felt so good to be in her arms but he knew he had to stop the people attacking Amestris. He knew this might be his last chance to tell her how he felt so he did something he had wanted to do for a long time. After she finished replacing his automail he asked Sheska to leave them alone he was only planning on telling her but before he knew it his lips had met hers and she kissed him back. He pushed her against a door and they fell into a house in the underground city. He picked her up and walked her into the bedroom of the house and there he proceeded to take her he took everything she had to offer. He remembered the look in her eyes when he told her he had to save Amestris and that he would always love her as he got dressed and ran out the door. She struggled to get dressed and ran after him outside they ran into Sheska and Edward noticed more ships coming through the gate he told them to find somewhere to hide as he ran off. He could hear Winry calling his name but he knew what he had to do and it would just kill him if he turned around.
"Dad are you okay?" Edward was pulled back to reality by the sound of his ten year old daughter Jade's voice.
Jade was the only thing good that had happened to Edward on this side. She was a beautiful dark skinned girl with hair the color of copper and big golden eyes. She was Edward's daughter with Noah. When Edward and Al came back through the gate and destroyed it they hung out with Noah and her clan. Noah had tried to get Edward to love her but he told her they were just friends. So Noah got Edward drunk on wine one night and he gave in to his temptations visualizing her as Winry. Nine months later Jade was born. Noah realized that Edward wasn't going to marry her so she ran off leaving Edward to raise Jade himself.
Al had fallen in love with a gypsy girl named Serene and married her at the age of fifteen. Tragically nine months later she died in child birth giving birth to their son Albert who was the spitting image of Alpnonse.
So together the two brothers set out to raise their children and make the best life they could on this side of the gate.
Edward looked at the smiling face of his daughter "Yes my Jade I'm fine." A warm breeze blew across his face.
"You seemed like you were in another world." Jade said throwing a ball at him "Albert and I want you to play with us."
Edward hadn't been feeling like himself lately. There had been an outbreak of sickness in Europe and it had killed hundreds of people.
"My Jade I'm a little tired today so can you two play and I'll watch?" Edward said closing his eyes because everything was getting blurry.
Jade knew something was wrong with her dad because he was always full of energy and ready to play he never acted like this. He put her hand on his shoulder "Are you sure you're alright?"
Edward smiled not wanting to worry her "Yes my Jade I'm fine you guys go ahead." Edward sat back and watched the kids as they began throwing the ball back and forth. He must have dozed off because he was awoken by someone screaming at him.
"EDWARD! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? WAKE UP!" He opened his eyes to see Noah in front of his face.
"WHAT! You don't have to yell damn." He replied rubbing his eyes.
"I'm here to get my daughter where is she?" Noah asked looking around the yard.
Edward scanned the yard looking for the kids and then he heard them inside. "What the hell are you doing here Noah? I thought you were gone and married at least that's what your mom told me." He stood up.
She flung her hair over her shoulder and looked to the man behind her "I am to Thomas; I just came by to get my daughter. Thomas and I have arranged for her to marry a boy from another clan."
Hearing this pissed Edward off because he knew the gypsy custom of the girl's parents getting paid. He stood up and walked over and stuck his face in Noah's.
"Oh really you think you can just waltz in her and take MY daughter who I raised and marry her off to a stranger for money?" He gritted his teeth "I don't think so." He started feeling lightheaded but he had to hold it together.
"Get off my property and don't come back because it will be over my dead body you ever SEE HER!" He had to hold it together a little longer.
Just then Al came walking up and noticed the commotion and his brother's demeanor. "Hey what's going on here?" Al asked walking over by Edward.
Thomas leaned over towards Edward "The dead body thing could be arranged." Noah could see everything getting out of hand and knowing what Edward was capable she grabbed Thomas and pulled him off the porch.
"DID YOU JUST THREATEN ME?" Edward yelled.
"Oh brother." Al whispered under his breath as he grabbed Edward and held him back from going after Thomas.
"Noah get him out of here." Al tightened his grip on Edwards arm as Noah pulled Thomas further away "If you want to talk to Ed come back alone." Al said as they started walking down the street.
Just then Edward began to fall and Al grabbed on tighter "BROTHER WHAT'S WRONG?" he helped Edward to the chair.
"I haven't been feeling well lately Al." Edward said as he began coughing.
Al got worried about his brother "Here let's get you inside." He said throwing Edwards arm around his neck. He walked him into the house and sat him on the couch.
"Thanks little brother I just need some rest." Edward said as his head fell backwards and he passed out.
Jade walked up to Al " He's been trying to hide it for a week now. Uncle Al I think he's really sick I hope it's not the sickness going around." She turned to Al " He's been helping the sick people because no one else will." Then she began to cry.
Al put his arm around his niece's shoulder" I know Jade don't cry." But Al knew Edward was really sick now and he was worried.
Edward awoke two hours later feeling as crappy as he did earlier he got up and walked to the kitchen where Al was feeding the kids "How are you feeling Ed?"
Edward looked at all their concerned faces and gathered all his strength and smiled a soft smile " Just fine." Then he began to sway back and forth almost falling to the ground as Al caught him.
"Yeah you look as good as you feel right?" Al said sarcastically helping him to the chair.
"Very funny Al." Edward said looking at the food and getting queasy wanting to throw up.
"So Ed how long have you been sick?" Al asked sitting soup in front of him.
"About a week I guess but we've got bigger things to talk about." He said sliding the soup aside "Al" Edward got a serious look "It's time to go home."
Al almost dropped the bowls of soup he was holding "What are you talking about? We destroyed the gate Ed."
"I know but we don't need the gate because we have a gate inside us. Dad told me about it and I used it once before. The only bad part is someone on this side has to die for our alchemy to work." Edward saw the look of distr4ess on Al's face "Don't worry Al we're not going to kill anyone we'll find another way."
Al sighed "Whew I was scared for a minute." Giving Edward a serious look "Well if we're going to do this we better get started."
"Yeah I'm sure Noah and her group of idiots will be back soon and I don't want to be here. I want my daughter safe Al and away from her and her clan." Edward got up and walked slowly to the living room and began to draw transmutation circles on the floor and ceiling.
Jade and Albert came in the room and Jade saw her father she thought he looked terrible coughing and having trouble breathing. " What are you doing dad?"
Edward walked over to her "Remember Uncle Al and I told you we weren't from here?" Jade nodded yes " Well your mom is trying-"Jade cut him off.
"I know I heard everything when they were here." Tears welded up in Edward's eyes as Jade hugged him " It's okay dad."
He leaned back "I'm taking you to my home Jade." Edward told her as he stood up.
"What do you mean? You said you couldn't go home." Jade gave him a confused look.
Edward took a knife and cut his hand "I'm not sure if this is going to work." He touched the edge of the circle and nothing.
Just then the front door burst open and Noah ran in "WHAT ARE YOU DOING EDWARD?" She yelled as Thomas ran by her and pointed a gun at Edward.
Edward grabbed the barrel of the gun "You pull that trigger and the bullet will ricochet off my hand and someone will get hurt." Edward said in a raspy voice.
Noah knowing he was telling the truth watched as Thomas squeezed the trigger slowly she ran forward "NO THOMAS HE'S RIGH-" Just then a shot rang out and she fell to the floor.
"NOAH!" Edward yelled "YOU BASTARD!" he round kicked Thomas in the face then looked at Al.
"It's now or never Al." Edward clapped his hands and looked at Noah's lifeless body "Thank you Noah" He touched the circle and it began to glow 'Now open the gate inside of you damn it' Edward thought to himself.
"Go on Al take them home." Edward watched as they all began to disappear.
Al heard a gunshot and saw Edward double over "ED!" he saw Edward fall to the ground.
At Central command all was quite as Mustang did his boring paperwork and yawned. Just then the ground began to shake and his head shot upright as Hawkeye burst through the door.
"Sir what's going on?" She asked bracing herself against the door.
" I don't know Major General." Then his eye widened remembering ten years ago. He got up and made his way to the door as the shaking stopped.
Hawkeye noticed the look on his face "What? Sir. What is it?"
"Could it be? No" he whispered as he took off running to the radio room where Fuery was talking.
"Yes you said three people just appeared in the court yard in a TRANSMUTATION CIRCLE!" Fuery looked at Mustang. He turned and began running at full speed down the hall. He ran between Havoc and Falman "GET OUT OF MY WAY!" He yelled knocking both men to the floor with Hawkeye on his heels.
Mustang and Hawkeye emerged outside and he began scanning the yard. He looked at Hawkeye then followed her gaze to a man and two kids.
"Hello General it's me Alphonse Elric." Al was trying to calm Jade down as she screamed.
" WHERE'S MY DAD? WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?" She was pleading with Al "You have to go back."
Mustang walked up to Al " Al where's your brother? And what are you doing here?"
Just then the ground began to shake again and another transmutation circle appeared there was a figure laying in it.
"DAD!" Jade yelled as she struggled against Al's grasp to get away.
"Dad?" Mustang whispered then started to walk towards the figure that's when he noticed the gold hair and he began to run he got to the figure and rolled him over "Fullmetal" that's when he noticed the gunshot wound in Edwards abdomen "He needs a hospital NOW!"
