Title: The baby out of mistake

DISCLAIMER: FMA not mine

Five Conditions

I sat on one of the swings in the school's playground. The sky is starting to get dark. Alysa sensei had already left the school, maybe thinking that no one was inside anymore. Mama and papa are late. I think they forgot that I'm in school. And I don't know the way back home. What will I do?

-----

"Shin-bi, Riza, dinner's ready" yelled Roy from the kitchen, wearing a pink apron. Somehow, calling Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye by her first name still didn't feel right. And don't let him get started with the pink apron. He and Riza wanted the blue one but Shin-bi loved pink.

Riza walked out of Shin-bi's room, wearing her pair of her blue pajamas. "Have you seen Shin-bi? She's not in her room" she said.

"I didn't notice her." Roy replied.

Now Riza started to go ballistic, "What? Look for her!" she said and ran up the stairs. "I'll look up here, you check there!"

"I will!" Roy replied.

Riza rummaged through the rooms in the second floor, opening the cabinets and checking under the bed. "Shin-bi! Where are you?" Riza yelled, completely messing up all the rooms at the second floor. She ran downstairs to see Roy who just finished searching the kitchen. "Colone- Roy, Shin-bi is not there" she said, panting.

"She's not here either" Roy said and sat down one of the chairs around the dining table, followed by Riza who sunk her face on in her hands. "Where the hell did we last see her?" Roy asked.

Riza thought for a moment… 'first this morning, we woke her up... then she played with Black Hayate while I was cooking breakfast... then the bath... then the car... then...'

"Oh shit" she said and stood up, "Grab your keys, Roy! We're going to school!" she yelled and ran to the car.

-----

I looked at my Mickey Mouse watch. It read 7:00. It must be dinner time at home. I wonder what papa cooked tonight. "Shin-bi!" I heard someone yell from behind me. I looked and saw mama running towards me wearing her favorite pair of PJ's with her hair falling at her back. She removed her usual hair-do. While papa was wearing the pink apron I chose last year.

I got off the swing and held my arms out and hugged both of them, "Mama, papa you're late" I almost fell down when they hugged me. "Shin-bi, I'm so sorry" Riza said.

"Don't worry. I know that you're new to this"

"Little bear… let's go home…" papa said and pulled me out of mama's embrace that seemed to cut of my air circulation.

------

Roy and Riza sat on each side of Shin-bi. They watched her sleep on her mattress, "We did it again" Riza said, breaking the silence. "Yeah… it's just that, we're so busy working and sometimes lost track of some things… I even consider ourselves lucky that the we were allowed to get married." He said in a low voice.

"Roy, the some things you're referring to is Shin-bi." Riza said. "We made a promise, remember?"

"Yeah… let's just... erm, try harder to—take care of her. She's the only one we have and will have" Roy said and stood up, leaving the room. "I'll go ahead to sleep. We still have work tomorrow" he said and left.

FLASHBACK

For the five years that have passed, they had made a promise and signed a contract which included five conditions. In a small café, near the hospital, sat Roy and Riza who were both holding a sheet of paper.
"Conditions eh?" Roy said. "I'm amazed on what you do in your spare time, Lieutenant"
Riza nodded and examined the paper.

Condition #1: Sleep in separate beds
"To make sure that this kind of thing never happens again" Riza told him sternly.
"Understood"

Condition #2: Never call each other "Colonel" or "Lieutenant" at home.
"We don't want Shin-bi seeing us calling each other military names. It's just not done"
"Shin-bi?""That's her name. Anything wrong, colonel?"
"Er—I used to think that naming children is often done by both parents."
"But Shin-bi already has your last name. I ought to think that it's just fair if I name her."
Roy raised his brow, "Right. But if Shin-bi is a he, then I'll name him"
Riza smirked, "Deal"

Condition #3: Don't meddle in each other's personal lives.
"Is this really necessary?" Roy asked.
"Yeah. Why not? We didn't get married because we love each other"
Roy leaned back on his seat, "Do you really think that?"
"I'm sensing that you don't want this condition" she said, trying to avoid Roy's question.
Roy smirked, "You could read my mind, Lieutenant"
"Fine, but at long as you tell me everything there is about you to know"
"And everything about you for me to know"
"Deal" they both said in unison
"Condition #3: Don't meddle in each other's personal lives" deleted.

Condition #4: Love Shin-bi with all our hearts. Shower her with our blessings and never let her see us arguing of any sort
"I think that's already clear" Riza said.
"Yeah, but… Shin-bi is not Shin-bi if she's a boy"
"Okay"

Condition #5: Never let this kind of thing happen ever again
"An application of condition number one,"

-----

"Five simple conditions—"

"Four," Roy corrected.

"Four simple—oh yeah… I almost forgot. The last condition is…"

----

Condition #6 but is really condition #5 because we deleted condition #3: Share house choirs.
"It's really unfair if only I do all the housework" Riza said.
"Er… it's the job of the wife to—"
"You don't expect me to drop my job just to wash your clothes, cook your food, clean the house, do the dishes and take care of Shin-bi by myself, do you?"
Roy smiled nervously. If Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye wanted something to be done, she's really serious about doing it. "O-okay I get your point"

The next day, Roy, Riza and Shin-bi once again stood before the school doors. With both parents are wearing their military uniforms, and Shin-bi wearing her sera fuku.

"Are you ready Shin-shin?" Riza asked, crouching in front of her daughter to meet her eyes.

"Hai!"

"Then" Roy said, also crouching and placed his hand in front of Shin-bi. By instinct (probably), Riza and Shin-bi placed their hands on Roy's.

"Fight-o" They said all together, "ON!"

Shin-bi loved it whenever they did that.

"Why don't we go through the checklist, Shin-shin?" Riza asked.

"Okay!"

"Whose turn is it today?" Riza asked.

"Papa!"

Roy smiled, "Er okay… let's see… Pencils?"

"Check!"

"Notebooks?"

"Check!"

"Uh… what else… Books?"

"Check!"

"Mini skirts?"

Riza's vein popped on her forehead, "Don't get me started" she wanred.

"It was a joke! Only a joke!"

"So… any questions, Shin-shin?" Riza asked.

Shin-bi paused, putting a finger on her chin, "I have one…"

"Okay, shoot!" Roy said.

"Well, yesterday I saw the mommies and the daddies kiss eachother after they kiss my classmate"

Riza's heart sank. She knew what comes next.

"Papa, why won't you kiss mama?"

"Well that's—"

"And mama should do the same!"

"Shin-bi… it's totally different from—"

"Why is different? Isn't it you kiss someone to tell them that you love them? That's what you tell me right?"

'Damn… Shin-bi is too smart for her own good' both parents thought. "Honey, you call that 'Public Display of Affection'… and it's not always a good thi—" Riza was cut off when Roy pulled her to him and captured her lips with his. Riza's eyes widened—even if the only contact was skin to skin. Roy gently pushed her away, "Like that, little bear?" he asked, looking away from Riza, not bearing to look at her... after what he did.

"Just like that, papa!"

For what seemed to be the first time, First Lieutenant Riza Mustang, blushed.

"Er-excuse me…" interrupted a familiar voice. The three looked at the school's entrance to see Alysa-sensei, Shin-bi peaking from inside. "Ohayo, Mr. and Mrs. Mustang"

"O-ohayo" both replied.

"Sumimasen, but Shin-bi is running late." She informed.

"Oh yeah!" We'll pick you up at 2, little bear"

"Good luck at school, Shin-shin"

Shin-bi entered the school with Alysa. "Bye-bye mama, papa!"

The school doors closed. Riza and Roy were alone, "That was…" Riza started but it seemed that she can't finish her sentence.

"Unnecessary, Riza? I don't think so" Roy said, above whisper.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't think loving Shin-bi is enough… I thing that showing her the we also love eachother is more important" he explained.

"The things we do for Shin-bi is to much to ask for" Riza sighed.
