Enjoy! and please review :) it makes my day and it helps me concentrate! Even though i should really be typing up chapters for my other stories lol . enjoy!~

Envy twitched as he followed Alphonse into the hospital quarters of the headquarters he worked at. Both brothers had been kicked out the night before because they had wanted to stay in the same room with Edward. Envy was still trying to get used to emotions and couldn't help but feel something twist in his stomach as he gazed around anxiously.

Alphonse explained that to be a feeling of worry. Envy merely said Ed should have put up more of a fight. But Envy knew how scary the whole transmutation thing was and knew Ed wouldn't be in such a good state after waking up. As a precaution he tried to get himself to promise not to call Edward short.

He wasn't doing so well.

They made their way past rows of soldiers who were sleeping and playing cards with others. They finally got to the end of the hall of wounded men to a series of beds that had curtains drawn over them. They recognized the area as the one they had left Edward and the mysterious child Ed had been so protective for. Envy pulled back the curtain and was met with the face of Edward glaring off to the side his face scrunched in pain.

Envy blushed as he saw Dr. Knox injecting a needle into the blondes back. Ed looked up meeting Envy's purple eyes as Alphonse peered over Envy's shoulder staring at Ed who was now covered up with a blanket thanks to the courtesy of Dr. Knox.

"That should be it then Edward. Nothing should hurt anymore. Once everything's into place I'll release you from the ward." Knox said as he stood up putting the needle he had used into a waste bin.

"And the girl?" Ed grunted as Alphonse pushed Envy into the room. Envy didn't like the feeling of being embarrassed.

"She's just fine. Some scratches and bruises but other than that she is completely healthy. I want you two to look after Ed and make sure he doesn't move for about 20 minutes." Knox ordered before he left closing the curtain behind him. Alphonse sat on the bed beside Ed as Envy took up the seat beside his bed. Alphonse's hazel looked to see they were facing the small girl who was asleep on her side oblivious to the world around her.

"What the hell happened?" Envy asked and after receiving an angry look from Alphonse he realized he phrased that question wrong. Ed sighed as he closed his eyes and flinched again.

"I tried to stop the transmutation but he activated it the minute everyone else got off." He muttered angrily as Envy nodded in understanding.

"And the pipsqueak on the bed over there? Is that what you got as return for him or what?" Envy asked bluntly as Ed and Alphonse glared at him.

Envy put a hand to his mouth and looked between his two brothers and raised his eyebrows.

"Sorry! Didn't mean to say it like that!"

Alphonse rolled his eyes as he focused on Ed who had sweat dripping off his brow.

"I don't know exactly what happened when I got to the gate. I remember the gate dragging that guy into it… By the way who was he?" Ed asked opening his eyes and looking at them curiously. They both shrugged and urged Ed to continue. "Well, anyways, that girl isn't the result of that guy's transmutation. I got something else." He grunted his voice filled with annoyance and disgust.

Alphonse rubbed his brother's shoulder even though he knew Ed wouldn't feel it. Ed's right arm had been facing Al and Envy quirked an eyebrow as he shrugged. Ed blushed as he felt hot all over his body.

"I think I'll tell you guys that part later at home." He muttered as both of his brother stared at him in confusion.

"Anyways! In the gate I saw… me. Al, do you remember the other dimensions we read before?" Ed asked seriously as Al gazed at him while cocking his head to the side.

"Yeah I did, why? What about it?"

Envy put his chin in the palm of his hand while he analyzed his little brother's actions.

"Well that's kind of what happened. He opened the gate from the other dimension and asked me to take care of her." He said while looking at the girl on the other bed again. Envy looked at the girl and frowned. He could remember every single person he had every changed into. He didn't have his heightened sense of smell but the girl looked oddly familiar.

He stood up and walked over to her as he brushed hair out of her face and analyzed her a little better. "I bet 50 bucks this kids Mustang's. She's got all of the facial features." Envy announced as Edward snapped his eyes and looked slightly horrified.

"Quit fucking around Envy!" He exclaimed as Envy looked at him before shrugging.

"I remember shifting into Mustang's face and I remember having to get every detail right. That's his exact nose and his exact cheek bones." He said as he sat down again. Edward winced and gritted his teeth.

"This doesn't leave the ward alright? The other me said I was her mother." He said as all the Elric's gazed at Edward in complete shock.

Roy sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He was in the middle of a meeting with the Generals and he wished he had Ed with him. Edward had a great and fantastic mind. Everyone knew Roy preferred Ed over everyone else.

Ed would always give different ideas of war and Roy accepted all of them. Roy had to decide what to do with his soldiers and he knew he didn't want to panic the citizens. He wanted to protect the town but secret Bradley groups still existed and it was getting harder to scruff out every single one of the groups.

He had to decide to search for the groups or leave the soldiers ready for another attack. He already knew the risk of letting the groups continue on. They had attempted human transmutation and they were already all going to jail for that small attempt.

Absolute taboo law that he had made sure was always followed.

"So what's the decision?" He heard Olivier Armstrong ask.

"I believe it would be better to prepare for another attack Fuhrer." A General said as Olivier gave him a glare.

"I believe the Fuhrer is more than capable of protecting Central. We need to get rid of the groups!" Armstrong snapped as Roy looked at her seriously then to each of his men.

"It would be pointless to keep all the soldiers stationed here. I know our enemy is not stupid enough to attack the same area twice. I want secret groups to go out and search for these groups and arrest them. And sign of resistance is ordered to be shot down. Only if they resist." Roy said stiffly as the Generals all nodded.

"I want all our headquarters to be perfectly maintained and any sign of attack from these groups is to be reported to me immediately. You're dismissed." They all filed out as Roy sat back in his chair with a sigh. He pulled his legs up to rest on the table as he thought about the plans some more. He frowned as Edward came back to his mind. Roy rubbed his face and got up deciding to visit the Colonel.

Maybe then his thoughts wouldn't be plagued by the blonde man.

"That's impossible."

"You're a guy."

"Male's can't get pregnant, brother."

"You're a guy."

"For fucks sake Envy I know that! You are not helping right now!" Ed exclaimed in anger as he looked up from staring at Alphonse.

Envy pouted at him and crossed his arms over his chest as Ed leaned his arm on his knee and stared at his brothers.

"It's an alternate dimension. In some other reality, Mustang must have hit it off with me." Ed said seriously as Alphonse nodded his head trying to understand. Edward felt better knowing Alphonse was opening up to possibilities.

But Envy was still ticking him off.

"It doesn't make sense, Chibi. Why would there be another dimension to begin with?" Ed sent Envy a glower but tried to answer the question.

"Okay, there is no information to help prove this theory but it's been said there are a ton of different dimensions and times, such as a time where Alphonse and me didn't lose our bodies. Or that you were born a homunculus." Ed said as Envy rubbed his chin.

He still didn't get it.

If he tried to think about all the different possibilities he was sure he wouldn't be able to stop thinking about. In the other universe Edward and Roy were in love. Could it be that in some other dimension Edward fell in love with… lust? Gluttony?

Fuck, even the Fuhrer?

"I don't think you should have said that. Envy's actually thinking about it." Alphonse teased as he gazed at Envy with an innocent look on his features.

"Oh shove it." Envy hissed gazing at Alphonse irritated.

"But there's something else you guys should know about!" Ed exclaimed as he lowered his legs and crossed them and leaned on his elbows. "They say Alchemy came to this world from a man named Nicholas Flamel. They said he came through the gate and taught us what we know. Well, the basics."

Alphonse raised his head, his famous familiar smile lighting up his face.

"You mean the Nicholas Flamel! He came from the gate? So that means other Dimensions are true?" Edward smiled at his little brother's face. Whenever Ed decided to talk about something Alchemy related Alphonse's face would shoot up with recognition and understand.

He was happy with his Alchemy.

Envy reached over and rubbed the top of Alphonse's head as he gave a serious face to Edward.

"Chibi, you're blowing up my mind right now. No one is going to believe a single thing you just said. At this rate they will never let you keep her." He smirked as the realization dawned on Edward's face. Envy loved to point out the obvious. Edward never really liked it when Envy did that.

It made him feel stupid that he hadn't noticed it before.

"Don't smirk, you asshole. You're her uncle you know!" Ed's face fell in surprise as all the Elric's looked at the girl who was still asleep.

"Holy fuck, damn you're right." Envy growled under his breath. He really hated human emotion! He actually felt kind of bad.

"Do you think you want to take a paternity test?" Alphonse asked suddenly as Ed frowned in thought.

"Well, I know she's mine. If I take the test what happens to her?" Ed asked as Envy returned to stare at the blonde.

"Come on, Chibi. You can't be that stupid can you?" Envy mocked and sneered as Edward sent a hateful glare to him. He had small blush rushing to his cheeks as Alphonse sighed.

"If the test comes back positive they won't question you if you want to take her in. But you're going to have to tell the Fuhrer." Alphonse nodded his head and then smacked his fist on the palm of his other hand. It startled the other two men who gazed at Alphonse in shock. "We can ask Knox to take the test! We have to let Mustang in on this! and i know he gave you a desk job but it's useful to have the Fuhrers favor!" Ed blinked his golden eyes and then glared at them.

"I had forgotten about the desk job you jerk. I don't need to ask him for any kind of favor! He is nothing but a bastard! He didn't even care about the girl!" He exclaimed in his anger.

Alphonse and Envy shared a look as Alphonse spoke.

"Why would he care about the girl anyways?"

Ed stopped and realized what his brother was saying. Mustang hadn't seen the things Ed did. Mustang didn't know about the whole producing kid's thing that he and his brothers knew. For all Ed knew, Mustang thought the girl was a brand new homunculus! If what Envy said was true and he and the other Mustang hit it off and produced the lovely girl on the bed, then Mustang was a father. Ed had somehow put that thought in his mind earlier and forgot one very important thing.

Mustang didn't know.

He didn't fucking know! He had no obligation to help the girl or to even think of doing anything with her! Ed blushed and stared at his legs before running a hand threw his blonde tangled hair.

"Shit, I didn't think this through. Stupid other parallel me crap." Ed threw himself back on the bed with force as he stretched out his legs and rubbed his eyes. If Ed put claim on the girl word would get out that Edward had a daughter. If word got out the Fuhrer had a girl with the Fullmetal Alchemist, then Ed was pretty sure chaos was going to happen.

"Fuck this! I already decided what were going to do! So stop fucking up my thoughts with your doubts Alphonse!" Ed exclaimed while pointing an angry finger at Alphonse who gasped and shrunk back behind Envy. Alphonse still had the body of a 15 year old even though he was 18.

Edward was glad he was taller than his little brother. Envy had somehow managed to be taller than the both of them, but not by much.

"And what exactly are those plans Fullmetal?" A voice interrupted.

Alphonse jumped again as he moved and pulled Envy to be his shield from Mustang. Envy went rigid as he gazed at Mustang almost prepared to jump out of the way. Mustang held the curtain open and had a familiar smirk on his face. But noticed the Fuhrer looked really tired.

He probably didn't get any sleep since the attack.

Edward felt a twinge in his gut as he frowned and looked at his brothers and then the girl sleeping on the other side of the secluded area.

"N-None of your business." He muttered looking away as he glared off to the side. Mustang continued to gaze at the blonde before sighing and looking at Envy and Alphonse who were currently shrinking away from him for some reason.

He raised an eyebrow but decided not to comment.

"Envy, I have Armstrong waiting at your office to interrogate the men from the Bradley group. All questions I want you to ask are waiting on your desk." Envy sighed but nodded and moved to leave the hospital ward. He stopped midway and cast a look to Edward. "Don't kill yourself, Chibi."

And he left.

Alphonse shuffled on his feet as Mustang sent him a look.

"I have new mission statements for you. Hawkeye is waiting for you to report in, she will hand them out when you get there, Understood?" Alphonse nodded and saluted. He sent Edward a look and a smile as he disappeared out of the room. Roy came into the room and closed the curtain.

"Well then Fullmetal; let's get straight to the point. Is she a homunculus?" Roy never skipped a beat.

Something Edward learned over the years of being under his command.

"No, she's human." Roy nodded his face still serious.

"Do you have any idea as to who she is?" Edward bit his lip and sat up on the bed.

"Yes, but not her name. All I know is that she's…" He trailed off and sighed. Roy raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Spill it, Fullmetal. I need to get everything straightened out before I start to repair central. What the hell happened at that transmutation circle? Did you lose anything?" Edward felt a feeling rise into his chest as he gazed into the concerned gaze of Roy Mustang.

"No, I'm perfectly healthy. And it doesn't matter what I tell you. It isn't really scientifically proven. These are theories."

Mustang frowned for a moment.

"I'd prefer if we had this discussion in my office, too many people around." Edward blushed slightly after he remembered what he was trying to tell Mustang right now.

"There were two transmutations. One occurred from the one in Amestris. The other was from… the other side." Mustang looked at him in confusion. Edward sighed and rubbed his face after giving an annoyed Glare to Mustang.

"Do you remember the report I gave you about parallel universes and Different Dimensions?" At Mustangs nod Edward continued. "They say that when you open the gate there is another universe on the other side. They also talk about the alternate Universes out there. To put it simply let me make a few examples: a universe where I and Al didn't lose our bodies, a universe where Havoc was a colonel and you were nothing but a sergeant, a universe where Fuery is Fuhrer and your nothing but a bus boy at a crappy restaurant!"

Roy raised his hand in the air to cut off Edwards slight insults. Roy knew they weren't meant to be insults but it was still a little weird.

"So you're trying to tell me that you did a transmutation here and went to the transmutation on the other side? You're losing me Fullmetal." Edward crossed his arms over his chest. He watched as his superior officer sat into the free chair and gave Ed his full attention.

"Well…"

Deep breath.

"I saw the other me. Edward Elric from a different time plane. When that guy started the Human transmutation I was taken to the gate. It swallowed that guy who was under me… By the way who was he?" Ed had to admit, the question was killing him. Roy gave him an angry gaze.

"Not important, what happened next?"

Ed didn't know why no one even bothered to tell him. He ignored it and continued.

"I got something in return for the transmutation because the gate swallowed that bastard. So it pulled me through the gate. I couldn't get free, so the other Edward found me. He… He told me to take care of that girl. He gave his soul and body to transport that girl over here." Edward jerked his thumb over to the black haired girl.

Roy stared confused.

"Why would he do that? Why would you do that?" Ed glared at Mustang and ran a hand threw his blonde bangs. The thick hair was slightly wavy due to Eds constant mussing.

"If I had the answers I'd tell you, Bastard Fuhrer. Oh! By the way! What gives you the big idea of running out in the middle of a fucking battle! If you died we'd have to find a new Fuhrer! And you know there are people waiting to knock you off your fucking throne!" Ed exclaimed while throwing his hands up in the air. Roy shrunk back wearing a grim expression.

"Then you and Al had the brightest idea to throw yourselves into a half finished Transmutation! Fucking idiots!" Ed looked extremely pissed.

Roy wasn't sure how to exactly deal with a pissed Ed so he stayed quiet while putting his hands in the air as a sign of defeat. His golden eyes flickered with a small expression of care that made Roy stop in confusion.

Did Ed actually give a damn if Roy lived or died?

In the past Ed merely said there were corrupt generals waiting to kill Mustang and take over. The first act those Generals would do was kill Edward. It was the only reason Ed ever protected Mustang. But Ed actually looked slightly concerned. It was the same expression Ed wore when his brothers were in trouble.

"Don't forget Hawkeye left you in my care, Mustang. If you die on my watch, she'll kill me dead." Roy rolled his eyes trying to ignore the way his heart had sped up at the thought of Ed caring about him.

He was stupid.

Though he had to admit it showed how much trust Ed put into Roy. Not that it mattered since Roy kept all his trust on Edward. The Blonde Colonel was very protective person when it came to someone important to him. His loyalties had been tested about a year back when Roy had been attacked in his office. Instead of running away to avoid the fight Edward stayed with the Colonel and protected the man.

It left them with a comfortable aura. Edward was a great fighter and knew how to sneak his way around the offices. Roy managed to keep Ed beside him through the whole experience. Hawkeye had been appointed to Major general. Not much of a higher rank but it was enough to make her pleased.

She could have been a Colonel by now, but had gotten pregnant almost a year and a half back. Instead of Roy being the father, as many assumed, Havoc had started a relationship with Riza and the two now had a handsome baby boy. Roy managed to tweak the laws and allow officers to mingle with each other. It was the least Roy could do for the people in his military.

He knew a few officers who were dating secretly behind his back.

After he tweaked the laws they stopped hiding and came out to show everyone. The most current was Danny and Ross. They had a baby as well at least 3 years back. Danny loved to torture his staff by showing pictures of the beautiful girl. Of course it stopped when Ross returned to be on duty and smacked him over the head countless times.

Roy shook his head at the thoughts and looked over at Ed who was wrapped up in his own thoughts.

"Your concern is touching, Fullmetal. But it isn't necessary. What and who is that girl? To my knowledge she survived a transmutation through the gate." Ed bit his cheek while glaring at Mustang. The man really infuriated him sometimes.

"She's my daughter."

With the words out he looked away trying to hide his blush.

Mustang made a funny noise while Ed looked away. Utter disbelief was painted on his face as he stared at the girl sleeping in the bed beside them. He tried to see Edward on the features but couldn't find much. Maybe the pattern of the girls hair but the color was a pitch black color.

She could have golden eyes though.

Then another thought crossed him.

"Who's her mother?" Ed stared at Mustang with wide golden eyes. He stumbled for words before he swallowed and glared at Mustang.

"None of your business."

Mustangs eye twitched before he reached over and pulled on the blondes cheek.

"You know who it is, Fullmetal. Stop lying to me."

"Ow! Let go! B-Bastard!"

"Who'd you get busy with?"

"Fucker!"
