Chapter 2
After work Roy attempted to go home but Hughes dragged him to the local bar and tried to get him to talk. "Hey, we're alone so tell me what's going on now." Hughes said. "Let me go home damn it!" Roy said. "No, you have to tell me what's going on!" Hughes said. "I just have things on my mind now I am going home so bye, I'll see you tomorrow." Roy said and he got up and left and took the most complicated way home he could think of.
"Sorry I'm late, Hughes dragged me off with him after work and I just barely got away. And then I took an extra complicated way home just to be safe." Roy explained as he walked through the front door of their apartment and locked the door. "Hey, Riza are you here? Hello!" Roy rushed into the bedroom and found Riza sleeping on the bed under at ton of blankets. Roy sighed in relief but looked at his wife with a concerned expression. He changed and got into bed. He held Riza in his arms with her head resting on his chest and fell asleep, his worries haunting his dreams.
Riza woke up before Roy to the need to run to the bathroom yet again and puke her guts out. Thankfully Roy didn't wake up and she was able to rinse out her mouth and go back to bed without any worry beside her own.
Roy woke up and looked over at his beloved. She was already awake and was looking at him. "Where were you last night? I fell asleep waiting for you to come home." Riza asked. "I tried to get home but Maes dragged me to the bar and wouldn't let me go so finally I just ignored what he said and left. I'm so sorry. How are you? Are you okay? What did the doctor say?" Roy asked. Riza was silent for a long time. "Is everything ok?!" Roy asked anxiously, in a scared strained voice. "I'm fine, but..." Riza trailed off. "What is it?" Roy asked worry etched in his voice and across his face. "It's...the thing is...the doctor said...said...that... Roy, I'm pregnant." Riza said. There was dead silence as the words hung in the air between them. "Oh Gate, what are we gonna do?" Roy asked "How could this happen?" "How are we going to handle this? What are we going to do when I start to show?" Riza asked starting to cry. "It's going to be okay. We'll just handle things one at a time. And when you start to show we don't say anything and see what happens. Ok?" Roy assured her. Riza hugged him and tried to calm down.
"I can't believe that I have a life that we created inside of me. It might not be the best timing but I'm happy that we are going to have this child" Riza said. "Me too." Roy smiled "I'm going to be a father! I cant believe it, we're going to be parents!"
Roy and Riza went into work like nothing happened but the others could notice that they each seemed stressed in a way. Riza also was very distant and she didn't talk a lot, she looked kind of sick too. "Hey are you ok?" Fuery asked. "I'm perfectly fine. Now get back to work." Hawkeye said. "Hey what's up with the Lt.?" Edward asked Mustang. "And why should I know Fullmetal?" Roy said. "Well she is like your right hand officer. I figured that you would know." "Well you were mistaken. Now get back to work before I disintegrate you!" Roy shouted. Everyone was quiet and they knew something was up. "If you'll excuse me for a second" Riza said as she hurriedly walked out of the room. "I wonder what that was." Brada said. Hughes saw the worried look on Roy's face and wondered what was going on with the two of them. "I'll be back in a minute, all these damn questions are pissing me off." Roy said, and then left the room. "Something is going on with them and we need to find out. Alphonse come in my office. You follow the fuhrer because I think if we find out what's wrong with him then we won't need to find out whats going on with the Lt. They are connected some how." Hughes said.
Roy went down the halls of HQ trying to find Riza. 'Where is she? Is she ok? Is something wrong?' were the thoughts racing through his head.
Riza was in the farthest bathroom away from their office she could find (which was about three hallways over) before she threw up. She felt awful. 'I can't wait for this to be over. The doctor said I would probably have morning sickness for a couple months. Ugh.' she thought to herself as she threw up everything she had eaten.
Roy was walking through the halls when he heard wretching noises coming from the single women's bathroom. He tried the door handle and it was unlocked. He took a risk and decided if he was right than it was worth it. He opened the door and saw his beloved wife leaning over the toilet. "Hey are you ok?" Roy asked as he closed the door and locked it, and went over to Riza and held the loose strands of hair that had fallen out of her bun out of her face. "I'm fine, Roy. It's just morning.. eeergh .. sickness. Don't worry." Riza answered "How cant I worry? My wi..Lt is is bent over a toilet puking and besides. You're my wife and I love you, it's my job to worry about you and our baby." Roy said whispering the last part, kissing her forehead. "Thank you" Riza said and stood up. She washed her face and hands, and rinsing her mouth out. They kissed and Riza looked out the door to see if anyone was there and then they left. "I'll take the long way around, ok?" Roy said. And they split up.
Riza got back to the office and looked toward the fuhrer's desk where she knew Mustang wouldn't be. "Where did the fuhrer go?" She asked. "He left shortly after you did to go get some air." Falman answered "Where did you go?" Ed asked. "I went to take care of some things." Hawkeye answered. Roy walked in and said "Oh there you are Lt. I wondered where you went" "I just went to take care of some things Sir" Riza replied. "Ok then get back to work. I have paperwork for you to fill out." Roy said "I'll get right on it Sir" Riza replied.
Just then Winry walked in. "Hey Winry, what are you doing here?" Ed asked. "I have huge news!" Winry exclaimed "Guess who's having a baby?" Roy went white and Riza froze, Maes noticed. "I am! Ed I'm pregnant!" Winry said excitedly. Ed looked so shocked and at that moment Winry took out a camera and took his picture. "Oh Ed you're a naughty boy" Mustang said fully recovered. "Congrats kid" Havoc said "Congratulations" Fuery and Falman said. "I'm gonna be an uncle!" Alphonse said happily. "Well done kid" Braida said. "Welcome to fatherhood" Hughes said patting Ed on the back. "Congratulations" Riza said. Ed sat dumbly looking at Winry. "I'm gonna be a dad?" he said. "Yeah you are dumb-ass, at least be excited" Winry said hitting ed over the head with her wrench. "Ouch, jeez Winry I'm just a little surprised that's all." Ed said smiling. The others laughed at him. Riza smiled at Roy and he winked at her.
