It had been Pinako's turn to sit up with Ed. The medicine to clean out his system had been administered two days ago, which resulted in his bedpan and catheter needing to be cleaned more often. Ed had been grumpy the whole time since he was denied food and the one time Al had tried to sneak him some Winry had gotten up and yelled at them. As Ed finally fell asleep Pinako and Al settled down with their respective books. A few hours later Ed awoke with a gasp that startled the two readers.
"Winry" followed along with a sigh as Ed relaxed further and into a deeper sleep. Pinako slid off her chair, the cushion falling to the floor and moved to the bedside. Brisk movements had the blankets pulled up and Ed's lower half exposed. Grasping Ed's hip, she rolled him towards the right of the bed and removed the bedpan. Checking the contents a satisfied grunt escaped her lips and the empty bedpan was thrust into Al's hands. Gently releasing Ed back to the bed she moved to check the catheter.
"Granny, why is he hard? Is it alright with the tube in it like that?"
"Mph, it's just as I thought. Go wake up Winry. This needs to be replaced. He's fine. We'll start the procedure after breakfast. And give me that bedpan; I'll put it up on my way to bed."
"Yes ma'am, Granny."
As the door shut, Pinako looked down at the still-sleeping boy. "Winry, huh?" With a final tsk she left. Better to let Winry explain this so none of the kids would have to suffer a lecture. In a few years she'd give them that, they're still too young now.
