Disclaimer: I, unfortunately, do not own FMA, the Military Personnel, Winry nor the Elric Brothers. But I do own a brother that annoys me to death, he's adorable, he is… Anyhoo, back to business!
Chapter 2: Mirabella, the girl in charge of paperwork.
I got to Central. It was a horrible three hours, I actually ate part of the pie, or half of it. I saw Sheska waiting for me, did she wait for all three hours? "Sheska!" I yelled. "What are you doing, were you here all day?!"
She ran to me and said, "Hello, Winry! Don't worry, I just got here. I read the train schedules and did the math. I got here a few minutes ago." That was a big relief; I would feel guilty if she stood there for all this time just waiting for me! "Let's go Winry, I borrowed a car from Lieutenant Hawkeye."
I followed her to the car, Den trailing behind me. I would see what this Mirabella girl looked like.
I saw Miss Hawkeye at the lobby with Hayate. They looked like they were spying on someone. "Hello, Miss Hawkeye." I said.
She carefully turned around, and her expression suddenly changed. "Winry! My, my, when are we expecting this one?" her voice was cheery.
"In a few weeks," I giggled. "Do you know where Ed is?"
"In his office, Sheska should be able to show you."
"Thank you, Miss Hawkeye! Have a good day!"
"You too, Winry!" she said. "Oh by the way! I already told you! It's Riza Mustang! Don't forget!"
"I won't!" But I do keep on forgetting that she's married to Fuehrer Mustang now, and she asks me to call her Riza.
Sheska and I were in the third floor. "Is this where Ed's office is?" I asked her.
"Nope. I just wanted to pass by mine first, I have to give Fuehrer Mustang some more paperwork." she went in, after thirteen minutes, I heard a crash. I ran into the dark room, "SHESKA! SHESKA! WHERE ARE YOU!" I saw a mass of books on the floor and a tiny hand peeping from the top, "Help me…" a small voice said, it sounded like… Sheska! I dug into the pile of books, Den barking behind me, until I finally pulled a body from out of it. "My God, Sheska, are you alright?"
"Of course I am." said a voice from behind me, "Why wouldn't I be?" I turned around and saw… Sheska.
"Wait, if you're Sheska, then who's-"
"Hi, I'm Mirabella Tailor. I'm the new girl in charge of paperwork." she smiled and we shook hands, "Thanks for saving me! If I stayed in that pile of books any longer I could have suffocated!"
"You're welcome, I'm Winry… Elric…" I did my best to emphasize the name Elric. "Elric… hmm… I think I know that name! He's the state alchemist from the seventh floor! I have some paperwork to deliver there, would you mind if I come?"
Sheska and I nodded. We went out of the room and I finally got to see how pretty she really was. She had nice, silvery blonde hair, a fair skin tone, and adorable green eyes. Yep, I saw her as a threat, too.
We went up the elevator, and there, Mirabella started talking. "So, Miss Winry, are you Mr. Elric's wife?"
"Yes." I told her, trying my best to make it sound pleasant, then thought, "What's wrong, BITCH? Are you jealous that I have the most powerful alchemist as my husband? Huh, Mirabella? Huh?" she smiled at me as well, she had dimples. Oh, the threat!
She glanced at my tummy, "Congratulations on your baby, by the way!" she said in a cheery tone.
"Thank you." I said dully, but I had to sound nice, "So, I'm sure you have a child of your own, huh, Mirabella?"
"Oh no." she replied, "I do have a boyfriend though, he's really nice."
"Good," I thought, "She's taken…But just to be safe…"
We reached the seventh floor. Sheska and Mirabella lead me to the room where Ed was said to be stationed. They opened the door. "Hello, sir!" Mirabella said, dropping a pile of paperwork on Havoc's desk, "I'm sorry for the long wait, I sort of got covered in a pile of books."
"That's okay," Havoc said, lighting another cigarette, "Thank you."
She skipped on her way out, I "accidentally" slid my wrench on the floor, and well…
"Are you alright Mirabella?" I heard Havoc say.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." she said, I laughed, "I just tripped on this, wrench?"
I stopped snickering and stayed away from the door.
After talking to Havoc for a while, she went out. "Thank you for accompanying Me." she said, bowing to me and Sheska, "Your husband's inside, Miss Winry. Have a good day."
Mirabella went off. Oh I cant wait until someone reads that "KICK ME, I'M AN ASS" sign on her back!
"Okay, Winry, I'm going to the Fuehrer Mustang's office now. Will you be okay here?" Sheska said.
I nodded and went in. "Ed!" I said upon entering. He lifted his head and smiled at me. Everyone else stared. "Miss Winry! What are you doing here?" Breda asked. "You're pregnant again Miss Winry!" said Fuery. Havoc just smiled at me.
Ed stood up and kissed me lightly on the lips. "What are you doing here, Win?"
"I just thought that since you would be here until the end of the month, maybe you wanted to see the baby being born." I lied.
"That's a great idea. But, I don't see why you had to bring Den instead of Lysander. I wanted to show him off."
"Your brother got worried so he asked me to bring an escort and lessen my load."
"Well he was really thoughtful. My shift doesn't end for another hour, would you mind waiting?"
"No, no, I'll be fine." Den barked. "I made you something." I handed him half of the pie I made.
"Hmm, you must have gotten hungry on the way here, huh, Win?"
"Well, well, Miss Winry!" Havoc said, leaning toward my belly, already working on number two I see?"
"Havoc!" Ed said, holding the collar of his uniform, "No smoking in front of my wife please, she could inhale it and something could happen to my baby. So if you value your life…"
"Y-y-yes sir!" he said stomping his cigarette to the ground.
I sat down on a sofa facing his desk as Den slept on my lap.
Oh golly gosh! That one wasn't too hard to do! But it was kind of hard to find a way to address Ed in a formal, military-like fashion, so I picked "Mr." I would also like to thank my cousin who thought of this plot and helped me type it! Okay, she typed it… And pulled it together… But hey! I posted it and wrote this note! Give me some credit wouldja?
I hope you like it, thanks again to all who commented me last time. I'll try to make it better and better! Please leave me more comments! I have to go now! My mom's nagging me to do my homework… Stupid math, I mean, who needsto master the four fundamental operations for integers?! That's what calculators are for!
