It had been a week since the attack. A week with Al remaining in an unconscious state. A week without news of Trisha. A week since Winry died. Ed knew that if it wasn't for the life growing inside of her, she would have let depression get the best of her. Her child, and Roy, gave Ed hope. Hope that Al would wake up and hope that Trisha would be found safe.

The funeral was small with Winry's close family and friends. It crushed Ed knowing that her husband and daughter didn't get a chance to say their final goodbyes. "Who's going to keep Al and me out of trouble now, Win?" Ed whispered as she placed a white rose on the closed casket. She sighed as she traced her fingers over it. "I promise we'll find Trisha. I'm not giving up. I know she's out there."

Ed walked to her place next Roy and watched as they lowered the casket that held her best friend. Ed buried her face in Roy's chest and cried silently as her lover held her.

After the funeral, Ed begged Roy to take her to see Al. After objecting in the beginning, Ed had gone through enough emotional distress with the funeral, Ed got her wish. "We'll go for a little bit, but you have to promise me you'll rest when we get home. " Roy said from the driver's seat. Ed quietly nodded.

Ed and Roy walked to Al's room hand in hand. Quietly they walked into the younger Elric's room. Ed walked to her brother's side and held his hand. Like in every visit, she carefully examined her brother for any sign of improvement. She smiled softly when she noted his normal color had returned and that the bruises had almost faded. "Roy, look! He's not pale anymore." She said, hope filling the room.

"That's a good sign." The raven haired man smiled as he wrapped his arm around the blond one's shoulder. Said blonde wrapped an arm around the taller one's waist. "Roy," she whisper, her voice turning sad. "Do you think he knows? About Winry, I mean. Do you think she died in front of him...?"

Roy rubbed her shoulder, "We still don't really know what happened. It is possible."

Ed stayed quiet and squeezed Al's hand softy. Her heart almost stopped when she felt him squeeze hers in response. "A-Al...?" She mumbled. She gasped when she felt him give her hand another squeeze.

"..s-sister..." Al whispered. Ed and Roy started at each other in surprise for a moment. "I'll get the doctor." Roy said before he hurried out of the small room.

Ed leaned above her brother slightly and pushed his hair back gently. "I'm here, Al. I'm right here." She said softly.

Al opened his eyes slowly, getting a costumed to the light. His expression saddened, "I couldn't do it." He mumbled. "I couldn't save them... I couldn't protect my family..."

A knot formed in Ed's throat, "Al, what happened?" She asked cautiously.

Al shut his eyes as he remembered that night. The memories were still so fresh. The memory of his wife getting shot in the head as she tried to protect their daughter. The memory of the look of fear on his little girl's face as they took her. All the time, Al was being held to watch as his family was being destroy. He had tried to use his alchemy, but it was impossible as they held him down and twisted his arms in unnatural angles. "We have the kid. Let's finish him and go." Al remembered those words that stabbed his heart. He heard a gun go off followed by an intense pain going down his spine before he got consumed by darkness.

Al shook his head, trying to get rid of those memories. "We got attack by alchemist." He whispered. "But they didn't use alchemy to attack, they used it as a distraction. Winry…" His voice broke and he let out a small sob. Ed rubbed his arms, "I'm so sorry, Al."

Al looked up to Ed with pleading eyes, "Ed, they have Trisha! We have to get her!" he cried. "We're on it, Al. We have a search team going. We'll find her." Al bowed his head.

Roy returned with the doctor, "Mr. Elric, when you were brought in, you had a gun wound directly on your spine." The doctor said as he began to feel Al's legs, "Do you feel anything?" Al kept his head bowed and shook it slightly. Ed gasped slightly, her poor brother.

After the doctor finished examining Al, he left leaving Roy and Ed alone with the young Elric. "When was she buried?" Al asked quietly, still refusing to look up. Ed was sitting on the edge of Al's bed, while Roy sat on a chair near Al's bedside. Ed held Al's hand, "Today. We'll take you to see her once you're out." She gave him a weak smile. Al nodded and decided to finally look up. "General, I want to do everything possible to find Trisha." He said sternly, "I remember the face of those bastards, that should help right?"

"Yes. It'll help us get a lead on who were are looking for." Roy commented. After more information was given about that night, the three felt more than confident that they'd find Trisha soon.

Al had kicked Ed out of his hospital room. Not because he didn't want his sister with him, but because he worried about the health of his sister and the baby. Despite the situation, he was still excited about the little one on the way.

Roy and Ed sat on the couch, working on Trisha's case. Roy couldn't help but feel a sense of dejvu as he saw Ed rub her temples as she sighed. Just like that night, he smiled as he placed a hand on her stomach and rubbed it gently. Ed looked up and gave him a small smile. "Are you okay, love?" Ed nodded as she placed her hand on top of Roy's. "Just a little tired." She mumbled.

Roy couldn't help but chuckle when he felt their baby kick, "Well that makes one of you." Ed giggled lightly. "Ed, we still haven't decided on names. You're almost five months." Roy said in a worried voice. Ed patted his hand softly, "If it's a boy, I like the name Avery. Avery Maes." She said as she intertwined her fingers with Roy's. Roy leaned in and kissed her forehead softly, "That's perfect."

Ed smiled, "Now you pick a girl name."

Roy pondered for a moment, "Eliza. That'll be a nice name for our little princess." Ed nodded with a smile, "See that was easy."

Ed slid on Roy's lap and pressed their bodies together as close as her bloated belly would allowed her too. Roy wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her slowly. "Ed" the raven haired man whispered as their lips parted, "I love you." Ed smiled, "I love you, too. So much."
