Chapter 1:

Roy POV

Roy Mustang had always consider himself lucky especially after her got to marry the love of his life Riza, he then found himself ever luckier after the birth of each of his three children but the thing he found himself most grateful for and quite lucky about was his not that he would admit it to his face friendship with Edward Elric.

After Roy became the fuhrer, Full metal had become one his most trusted employee's. Fullmetal married his childhood friend and mechanic Winry Rockbell and they moved to central shortly after the birth of their first child Max. But it was their second child and only daughter Willow Elric that Roy was and would always be most grateful for.

Roy's son Jayson was the image of his father or at least that's what Riza was always telling him, Jayson was a tall 15 year old boy with jet black hair and dark brown eyes. He was strong in both Alchemy and war fare, he was always proud of his father and the work his dad and from what seemed like the moment he could speak all Jayson ever wanted was to follow in his footsteps.

It was just after Roy's reflection and his family stood on centrals balcony waving at the thousands of people who all cheered in delight. Roy's daughters both almost images of their mother stood to his left, Riza his delightful wife stood on his right holding his hand and there son stood next to her.

There was a familiar noise in the distance and Riza stood in front of her husband as if to shield him from a sound they had both heard so many times but surprising them both Jayson pushed his mother out of the way something flew by Riza face by inches and straight into his little boys stomach.

Time slow down and everyone seemed unable to move as Jayson body flew backwards with the force of the bullet. Roy pulled at his feet praying that they would move.

"JAY!" a little voice scream.

Roy looked over at where the voice came from and frowned in confusing as 14 year old Willow Elric ran with all her might over to his son. Willow was tiny for her age with long golden blonde curls that bobbed up and down as she ran towards Jayson. Her bright blue eyes filled with determination that Roy had never been sure they quite girl had ever really possessed up until this moment.

Roy watched as Willow fell to his sons side and before anyone could do anything she clapped her hands together in the familiar where her father used to when he used his alchemy and she placed her hands on top of Hughes wound to his astonishment began to close and his son began to regain consciousness.

"Idiot." Willow shouted.

"Childish," she continued.

"Rude."

"Stupid."

"Wake up you bloody idiot." Willow screamed.

Jaysons eyes opened and he slowly sat up Willow helping him every step of the way.

"Loser," he replied.

It had been there way of communicating, Winry and Riza joke it was because they were taking after their fathers.

Roy watched as Willow looked into his son's eyes and tears began to slide down her face.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid." Willow sobbed gently pounding on his chest.

They may argue like he and fullmetal did but Roy noticed there was one thing different as his son pulled a distraught Willow into his arms.

Riza POV

Roy sat at his desk looking out of the window in the same place she had left him before she saw the doctor out after confirming that their son was perfectly alright it had been as if nothing had happened.

She walked up slowly behind her husband bent down to hug him from behind.

Roy looked back at her and sadly smiled.

"I no he could of died but now his fine." Riza said removing all the worry she herself felt.

Roy turned his chair around and pulled her to his lap.

"It doesn't change the fact that he could have died and if it wasn't for Willow." Roy started with a sigh.

Willow was truly amazing, Riza had always wondered about the quite girl who only seemed to show signs of being Ed and Winry's daughter when she was shouting insults at their son.

"Not that I will ever tell this to full metal but he has truly raised an amazing daughter." Roy relied slightly laughing until something seemed to cross his mind and he stop.

"What is it?" Riza asked knowing her husband well enough to know he was worried.

"she didn't even have to use a transformation circle, the board will want to use her anyways possible." Roy replied his brows crunching up.

"She is just a child we can't let them. Ed defiantly won't let them take his only daughter." Riza replied almost positive.

"She'll do it anyway." A voice said from the door.

Riza looked up and found herself looking at Jayon. Getting up Riza walked over to her son and looked in his worried eyes.

"What do you mean?" Roy asked following her over to their son.

"if they tell her she can help she will do whatever it takes even if it mean she runs away from home and when she does I will go with her." Jayson replied.

"You will not do that." Roy said it that voice that even she wouldn't argue with.

Jayson walked over to his dad and looked his dad in the eye.

"After today I will always protect her, I will do whatever it takes to protect her till the day I die." He replied and even Roy could find the words to argue back with him.

Her son was 15, but it was at this moment that Riza Mustang new her son was in love and he would stop at nothing to protect the girl he loved.
