Author's note:
It's been awhile since I've dabble in writing. Be gentle. This is just pure fluff. Just a thought that a lullaby from work gave me.

Just maybe
Chapter 1:
Ed gave a lopsided grin as he stared at the tiny form. He just couldn't believe that this tiny being belong to him... to them. It's surreal. After everything, losing Al's body, the homunculi, Bradley, the Father, the gate, the fallout. He shouldn't deserve such happiness, nothing can ever make up for his transgression. But, maybe...
He could be happy. He didn't believe in God, in miracles, just the gate and the truth. But, this tiny being is a miracle.
So, just maybe….
A cry, disturb his thoughts. He looked down at molten golden eyes staring back at him with a glare. Ed chuckled and gingerly picked up the tiny being. He cradled her close to his bare chest and smiled.
"Don't like me not paying attention to you? Already demanding, wonder where you got that from?", he mused starting to sway back and forth. "It's alright little one," Ed hushed placing her closer to where his heart resides. Small sniffles could be heard as the tiny being snuggled closer into her father's warmth. Ed's eyes soften at her and started to hum the lullaby his mother used to sing.
He suddenly felt strong hands circle around him. Ed tensed up until he felt the familiar warmth and leaned back into the familiar embrace. He still couldn't believe that this was his…that they belong to him and to each other.
They stood there for a moment swaying to Ed's humming as the tiny being's golden eyes stared to drift closed. He could feel the love of his life bend down to his ear. "I love you my sun," he whispered kissing his ear. Ed gave a small sigh feeling the heat surfacing to his cheeks. Roy spun him around in his arms giving him an assessing look. "Edward, what's wrong? Are you ok?"
"Yes, Bastard," Ed sighed, "I got lost in thought. Roy, what did I do to deserve this... her…you?"
"Edward, everything, stop waiting for it to end. What would have I done without my sun, who brought me my moon?", Ed sighed. He knew what Roy meant. The journey that it took for them to be together. "Besides, you gave me more than strength, you gave me reason to live, to love, and to succeed.", Roy whispered in Ed's ear. "You're such a sap!", Ed growled with no real meaning behind his words.
He looked up to Roy shifting their daughter with her glorious black hair and molten eyes to a more comfortable position as she fell back to sleep. Roy looked into Edward's eyes and gingerly cupped his check titling his head upward. Warm lips descended onto his sweetly and loving. Ed knew on this moment, he could be happy and he be damned if anyone took it away from them… from her.
So,
Just maybe,
He could begin to deserve this happiness.
By making sure…
Nothing…
Would take away her happiness…
That nothing would take away Roy's happiness...
He would be what they needed.
So just maybe...
He could be happy...
With them...
With her...
With Roy...
Forever.
