The Fullmetal Alchemist and his Daughter

Prompt: You are my Sunshine, My only Sunshine

Thunder shook through the house as the rain continued its never ending downpour, and with that barometric pressure was on the rise.

Edward bit his tongue and whimpered, the pain was unbearable on the stump that was his leg and the only way to bear the pain was to sleep..but it wasn't easy when that pain felt like knives pushing into you.

Winry had been out on a request for a new piece of automail and it wasn't easy being alone. However Edward wasn't quite alone...

"EEEK!"

Shrieks of little Elizabeth clashed with those of thunder and Edward sat up, rushing around the house to find her.

"El..EL! Where are you?!" Ed shouted, golden eyes searching for matching ones.

More pain seared through Ed's leg and he grunted, bracing his knee.

"EL!"

"EEEEK!"

Cries now rang through the room and Edward tracked down the place that the sound was coming from.

"Elizabeth.." He sighed and peeked under their dining room table, underneath a big brown blanket was the one and only Elizabeth Elric.

"EEEK!"

Thunder shook the house and El jumped into her fathers arms, whimpering and clutching onto his shirt. "Daddy.."

"Shh, I'm right here."

Ed wrapped his arms around the girl and held her, his big arms slightly covering her ears.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are gray.." Edward sang in attempt to comfort his daughter, normally Winry sang the lullabies but he couldn't do anything to help that now. "You'll never know dear, how much I love you..so please don't take my sunshine away."

"Daddy..?"

"Yeah pumpkin?"

"Your a bad singer..Mommy is better."

"WHAT?! I AM NOT A BAD SINGER! I'M NOT SOME HORRIBLE SINGING PIPSQUEAK WITH NO DECENCY TO DRINK THE TINIEST DROP OF MILK EVEN THOUGH IT TASTES REALLY BAD!"

Elizabeth giggled and hugged her dad. "Your not. I was just being funny! That's all."

"Well I would think so! Besides, Uncle Al is worse."

Elizabeth cracked up and laughed, pounding her tiny fist on Ed's chest.

"Your too funny Daddy!"

Ed chuckled and kissed his daughters forehead, picking her up and taking her towards the door. "Look El, the rain stopped.."

Elizabeth's eyes widened and the biggest smile appeared on her face. "LET'S GO PLAY IN THE PUDDLES!"

Ed smiled and sat her down. "Alright kid, you got yourself a deal! Rule #1 Get your rain boots on. Rule #2 DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, TELL YOUR MOTHER ABOUT THIS."

"Yes, sir!" El saluted and pulled on her rainboots.

And the two walked into the hills of Resembool, the sunshine and the rain, going to splash in some (probably) very muddy puddles.
