After
Riza had put the two boys to bed downstairs, she and Roy went to bed
as well. For they had a long day ahead of them With a heavy sigh, Roy rolled over in his bed, running his
hands through his black hair. Riza turned over to him. ''You
have to stop worrying Roy. Everything is going to be fine. Ok?
'' Roy nodded, If only you knew… In
fact, for Roy, this was going to be harder than anything he'd done
before. He loved Edward, and for Ed to be a five year old child, it
wasn't going to be easy to confess his love. Riza sat up and
looked down at Roy. ''Listen Roy, you have to stop blaming
yourself. What happened isn't your fault. At all…got it?'' Roy
sat up as well. ''What the hell are we going to do
with these boys?'' Riza sighed and placed a soft hand on
Roy's cheek. ''I'm not too sure..we have to contact
his remaining family and tell them about the incident…That will
probably be the hardest part of it all..'' Roy nodded
in agreement. ''Yeah..I know..'' Riza kissed
him lightly on the cheek. ''Don't worry..everything will
be just fine…got it?'' Roy gave a small
smile. ''Yeah..I got
it..'' Downstairs
where Riza had placed the two boys to bed on the living room couch,
They stayed up together, not able to sleep. Alphonse had been
extremely worried about what would happen to him and his brother. But
Edward, he had a strange feeling about the two strangers that he
couldn't get over. ''Alphonse..you awake..?'' They
four year old sat up on the opposite side of the
couch. ''Yeah…what's wrong brother?'' Edward
pushed himself up as well hoping to see his brother in the
dark. ''I'm not too sure but..I feel like I've met
these people before..Especially that man..he seems..Familiar…Don't
you think?'' Al shook his head. ''No. I don't
know them at all brother..'' Ed slapped himself hard on
the forehead. ''I know that you dummy!..But do you feel
like you know them..At all?'' Al continued to shake his
head. ''Nope..'' Edward sighed and slammed his
head on the pillow. Alphonse looked around the room as he lay back
down. ''Brother…?'' ''What is it
Al?'' Alphonse sniffed a little. ''It's scary
here..and I can't sleep..'' Edward sighed. ''There's
nothing to worry about silly. I'm right here.'' Alphonse
sniffed again. ''I know..I just..'' Edward
sighed heavily. ''Then go sleep upstairs you big
baby..'' Alphonse got up from the couch, rubbing his
eyes. ''I'm not a baby!!''
tomorrow: They had
to figure out what to do with the boys and figure out how to tell
their relatives. Roy knew that Izumi was going to be the hardest.
