Pregnancy

"Riza?"
Riza opened her eyes and looked at the open door, shocked. He wasn't supposed to be home yet, there was at least two more hours before he was supposed to leave from work. He just had to ditch work because he was worried... Typical Edward.
She pushed herself off the bed and walked into their living room to see a soaked Edward Elric. He was completely drenched. His bangs clung to his face, his uniform was sticking to his frame like a second skin and puddles were forming around him.
"Ed?"
His gaze instantly shifted over to her and he stared for a moment before he stepped forward and held her. He breathed a small sigh before he looked at her.
"Are you alright? What did the doctor say?"
Riza stared at him, a huge block of ice coiled tightly in the centre of her chest. She touched her stomach and couldn't look at him anymore.
"The doctor... he said that... that I was pregnant."
Everything stilled. The noisy pitter patter of the rain in the background but she could only wait for her beloved to respond. He could shout and yell or he could strike and demand but she would accept it as it came.
She heard him sigh deeply and she was in his embrace, his head against hers. "It'll be alright. I'm sure you'll be a great mum."
"B-but!"
"Shh... It's okay. We're just going to have to pull through this and we will. This is one of nature's miracles so we must take great care of it alright. We'll pull through, I promise."
Riza returned the embrace and laid her head against his wet shoulder.

The next day, both of them arrived at work on time though Ed appeared five minutes later since he took a different route. They greeted each other and the rest of those at the office before attending to their own paperwork.
Everything was goin smoothly, of once. The procrastinating Colonel had decided to actually do his work since he had put it off and now that Hawkeye was back in the office there was no way to escape it. So the scribbling of pens on pieces of paper were the only sounds in the office.
That is until the intercom sounded.
There was the crackling of the system before -
"... all that she wants is another baby! All that she wants is another baby!"
Then it was cut off and there was a string of curses before the Fuhrer's secretary apologized for the interruption and told - well, she was actually yelling with a stutter in her high-pitched voice - everyone to go back to work and ignore that.
Jean and Breda were laughing their asses off, Fuery was staring at the intercom device, Falman stopped reading to glance at the hysterically laughing men, Roy was smirking and the secretly married couple were stiff.
After a moment everything settled down and everyone went back to work, although Jean and Breda snickered every so often as they remembered the panicked voice of the secretary. They bet that she would be fired soon.
Soon the morning passed by and soon everyone left the office for lunch. They all decided that it was time that they went out to old Joe's for a bite and everyone had to come.
They merrily walked the not-so-busy streets of Central, talking about the incident a few weeks back that involved Breda and the office coffee machine which ended in the machine dying and Breda being drenched in coffee and then running for his life when Roy snapped his fingers so that he could sizzle the 2nd Lt.
After lunch they headed back to the office, all smiles and laughter, before reality smacked them in the face when they noticed that the paperwork had increased in a large number and groaned before they settled into their assigned desk and grumbled through their work.
They were about an hour into their work when a very happy Lt. Colonel Maes Hughes entered the office. He was the picture of happiness and it seemed as though it oozed off of him like a sunny day.
"Hey, everyone! Guess what?" Hughes said in his sing-song voice.
He must really be happy about something then. Even Roy poked his head out.
"To what pleasure do we owe for this visit Hughes?"
"Something great happened and guess who's having a baby?"
The whole office stilled, Fullmetal and Hawkeye shared a quick glance before looking at the Lt. Colonel. This quick movement was not unnoticed by the sharp eyes of Roy Mustang and his best friend Maes Hughes.
"Is it your neighbor Hughes? The last time I visited you claimed that they were so noisy that they were trying for another child again."
The green-eyed Lt. Colonel glared at his long-time-best friend.
"No! It's Gracia! She's pregnant again! Elysia is going to be the big sister now! She's so excited!"
The 1st Lt. and the Major sighed in relief before they congratulated the man like the rest of the Flame's team. The Colonel then invited the Lt. Colonel into his office and wished not to be disturbed; not even if it's the Fuhrer himself.
They stayed in there for a few moments and everyone went back to work. Paperwork was signed and stacked. Hughes had left the office with a lopsided grin on his face a few hours ago and now it was time for everyone to go home.
"Jean, I need to see you in my office and Fuery can you call Lt. Colonel Hughes and tell him to come here immediately."
Jean grumbled under his breath but walked to the office and Fuery ran to call one Lt. Colonel Hughes.

"Alright, now that you both are here I want to ask you something."
"Alright, shoot."
Roy looked at the two men in his office. "I need you to follow someone for me."
Jean blinked and looked at him. "Hm? That's it, sir?"
"Jean you have to follow Fullmetal for awhile until you find something and Maes I need you to follow Hawkeye."
Jean spluttered and gapped at his commanding officer. "Why do you want us to follow Hawkeye and the boss?"
"I want to know why the two of them are behaving strangely."
"Um... permission to speak freely sir," Jean asked as he looked at the Colonel.
He nodded, "Permission granted."
"Um... why do I have to follow the boss? I mean, he's going to kill me when he finds out!"
Roy smirked and stood up from behind his desk and walked around it to stand beside the Lt. Colonel. "Well, I think Hughes deserves to be around for his next child."
