A/N: Okay, I want to thank those who reviewed. I live for your reviews. I swear, when I get a new one, I walk calmly into my kitchen and do a victory dance. XD I 3 you guys, and thank you from the bottom of my heart! Okay, on with the story!

Winry had been waiting for a few days to call Riza, she had been waiting as patiently as she could, but she was just too excited to wait any longer. So, after she put Urey in his bed, she calmly walked down the stairs and sat next to the phone. Picking up the phone, she shakily dialed Riza's house number and waited. "Hello?" Riza answered on the 3rd ring, "Riza? Hey, it's Winry!"

On Riza's side, she had raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Sure, she was glad to get a call from Winry, but why did the girl sound so excited? "Hey, Winry. What's up, are you going into labor? Why are you so excited?" This was confusing to Riza, why was she so giddy? Then it hit her, maybe, somehow she heard about her and Roy? Shaking her head, Riza reasoned that Winry couldn t possibly know.

"So, what have you been up to, I mean, since you came over that is..?" Winry tried to act like she didn t know, but it was hard. She had told Roy what to do and she was hoping it had gone well. Riza had to think, should I tell her? The thought was silly, of course she should! "Well... You know how I feel about Roy, right?" She could almost see the bleach blonde nod her head when she said, "Ya-huh."

"Well, he asked me out, on a coffee date... But before he did, he asked me some questions in his office." Riza pulled a chair up to sit down and have the conversation with Winry. "He said that he had a dear friend that he was going to get some flowers and sweets for. And I was thinking that he meant some random girl, you know how he is... But then after I left his office to do some work, he wanted to go out for coffee." Winry smiled as she waited to hear the rest. "Was that all, Riza?" She sounded kind of disappointed, but knew more was coming.

"No, that's not all that happened... When we got off the military grounds, he sent me to 'scout for a decent coffee shop,' so I told him not to move a muscle. I went and found a good one, but when I came back... He was gone!" Winry was giggling on the other side; she covered her mouth so not to make Riza nervous. "Oh... No! Where'd he... Go?"

Riza smiled as she remembered what happened after that. "He came up behind me, with one of his hands behind his back... Guess what he had." Winry uncovered her mouth, her giggles gone as she shrugged. "What'd he have?" Riza bit her lip softly before smiling like a teenage girl, "he had my favorite flowers. Larkspur, but I don t think he knows what Larkspur means... She frowned softly as she looked over to the table where she had put the flowers in a vase of water. They really did bring color to the room. They were beautiful, even after 3 days. "What does it mean, Riza?" Now Winry was curious.

"Larkspur is the flower you give to someone who you think has a beautiful spirit... Winry said, "aww" at the definition of the flower. "What happened after that, Riza?" The excited tone came back to Winry's voice, making her sound like a squealing pre-teen, who is seeing her favorite band. Riza giggled, could that really be Winry on the other side of the telephone? Yes, it was and that made it all-the-more funnier. "Well, after coffee we went out for some lunch and had it at Central Park. By the time we were finished, it was getting late... So Roy got a cab and took me home... Riza had a slight blush as she remembered the kiss they had shared when she was leaving her at her building. "Then? Did he give you a kiss good-bye? Did he walk you to your door?"

"Well... He did both... Roy walked me to my door and kissed me... It... It was a fun day, Winry." Winry got up off the chair and did a victory dance. Her plan was working! She sat back down when she thought she heard Ed coming. "Did he ask if you wanted to go out again?" Riza smiled and nodded her head, forgetting that she and the bleach blonde weren't in the same room. "Yeah, and I said yes." Riza looked at the clock and smiled, it was almost time to go back to work, which meant that she would see Roy again. "Winry, I have to go, but I'll talk to you again."

"Okay, have fun at work!" The two hung up at the same time; Riza got her gun and everything she needed and walked out of her apartment. She went back to work for the day.

Winry stood up and wondered around, trying to find Ed. She found him in the library that they had Al make them, shortly after Ed and Winry got married. Smiling, she snuck up on the golden haired man, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Ed, their first date went good. I'm a genius! Help me think of their second date?" Ed groaned, he was happy to hear the jackass was doing something right when it came to Hawkeye. But he already told Winry he didn t want to get too involved with their relationship. "Do I have to, Win?" Winry giggled at him, "don t be a baby Ed!" She kissed his cheek as she pulled away from him. "I guess they could just go out on a dinner date... That wouldn't hurt anything... Do you think?" Ed shook his head and turned his attention back to his book. "Nah, I don t think so. I'll call him in a couple minutes and tell him.

As Ed promised, he got up after finishing his reading and walked over to the phone. Looking at the time, he noted that the Fuhrer would still be at the office and called him there. "Fuhrer Mustang, who do I have the pleasure of speaking with?" Groaning once again, Ed spoke, "Full metal."

Roy smiled at himself. Ed hated calling him the Fuhrer and having to be so formal. But it did wonders for Roy's ego. "Ahh, Ed. And what do I owe this conversation to?" He had been trying to finish his paperwork early so he could go to his favorite bar, when Ed had called. "Well, I was informed that you actually did well on your date, sir. And Winry has already come up with a good 2nd date for you." This intrigued Roy. "Go on."

"She says for you to take the General out to dinner. A nice place. Maybe get her some flowers that are appropriate for the occasion. And make it a good restaurant, sir. That is all." Roy smiled; this girl was a flippin' genius. No wonder Ed was in love with her... But why settle for a shrimp? Shrugging his shoulders at his thoughts, Roy smiled more. "That'll be fine, Full Metal. Have a good time with the Mrs. and little Urey." Ed grunted and hung up the phone.

After Roy hung up with Ed, he exited his office and soon the military grounds. He decided to change his plans, instead of the bar, Roy wanted coffee. It would help to calm his nerves. Although he loved taking Riza on that date and he may have seemed calm on the outside, but it had caused him to be a complete mess on the inside. Hailing a cab, he told the man to take him to the nearest decent coffee shop. A good 5 minutes passed on the way to the coffee shop, once the man stopped the car; Roy paid him and went into the coffee shop. It made him remember his and Riza's first date and that made him smile.

Walking into the building, he went to the counter and ordered a tall cup of plain, black coffee. Waiting at a table, he noticed a woman he hadn't seen in almost a year. Her name was Vanessa. She was a dark brunette with pale skin and the biggest blue eyes he had ever seen. He smiled at her as she invited herself to sit next to him. "Oh my, is that you Roy?" Vanessa asked as she held her own coffee.

Roy nodded his head a smile on his face as he turned to her. "Well, well, if it isn't Vanessa. Haven't seen you in a while... He tried to play it off, but she cut him off. "Yeah, I wonder why? I mean... We had a date, then... Nothing. What happened?" Roy and Vanessa talked for a good hour about the time they knew each other better. Sure, they had known each other before going on that one date, but he just couldn t remember why he didn t call her back. Don t get him wrong, he did like the girl. She was easy on the eyes, had a good head on her shoulders and was smart to boot... But she wasn t blonde. She didn't have hazel brown eyes. She wasn't Riza Hawkeye.

Riza was getting off work; she had just finished a report on the reconstruction of Lior. "That was boring. Maybe I'll get some coffee cake... Or a muffin..." She smiled at the thought of the pastries. Usually, she wasn t one for sweets, but she was craving something, and those sounded best right then. So, getting out of the building, she hailed a cab and asked to be taken to the nearest coffee shop that sold the best pastries. The driver, having just came back from that way, nodded his head. "Yes, Ma'am." With that, he drove to the coffee shop once more.

She waited 5 minutes before she was able to step out of the car and pay the man. He nodded to her and smiled as he took the Cenz. She waved him off as she walked up to the coffee shop. From the corner of her eyes, she saw black. Was it? No, it couldn t be. She smiled to herself for even thinking he could have been there. He had left the office an hour or so ago. Turning her head completely, she saw Roy. But it wasn t just Roy. There was a pretty brunette with him. She saw the woman's beautiful blue eyes, the heart shaped face and pouty cherry lips. Beautiful, girly, not her.

He was on another date, with someone much prettier than her. Riza frowned. This date looked like it was going smoothly. She thought for a few moments about going in and buying her pastries. For a good minute, she contemplated doing just that. Make him see her. See how upset she was with him. But at that, she shook her head. No, this wasn t that bad. It was just a date. Plus, Roy and herself, they just shared a date between friends. They had only hung out... Right? Or did she think it was more? Worth more to him?

Riza felt sick. She didn t know what to do. She knew she could see them, but could they see her? She didn t know... But if they could, would they stop their date? Once again, she shook her head. "What am I doing? Why am I just standing here? I should go buy my pastries and go home... But, she couldn t move her feet. They felt as if they were stuck to the ground under her. Her body was betraying her, making her watch. Riza could feel the sick feeling growing. But what she had felt first wasn't half as bad as what she felt next when she saw the woman lean into Roy. She was kissing him!

Her stomach was twisting, her eyes pricked with unshed tears as her heart felt like it was breaking completely. She remembered all the times she had been with Roy and he had flirted with prettier girls. At first, she thought it was to get information, like when they were getting intel from Madame Christmas... But whenever he would come back with numbers on little slips of paper, she could have sworn she felt cracks in her heart. This was the last straw. The date he was on, it was almost identical to the one he had taken her on... But this one looked like it would go a lot farther than theirs had...

Not being able to take this feeling any longer, her body let her run away. Riza thought her legs felt like they were made of cement, making running a chore. "Oh god... I'm an idiot... How could he think about me, the same way I think about him...? Especially if there are girls who look like that?" Shaking her head she ran all the back to the military grounds, before she had to hail a cab to take her home.

Roy had been laughing with Vanessa about when they first met. It was a chance meeting, but it was funny now that he remembered it. The two had been at Madame Christmas's bar, both drunk as hell, when he started flirting with her and vice versa. Of course they were so far gone, that their words were being slurred. He hadn t even noticed someone was watching from outside, only noticed when a pair of soft lips were being pressed against his. At first, he let himself be pulled in by the luscious lips. Even kissed back, until he remembered the exact reason why he hadn t called back. He was in love. In love with the most perfect, beautiful woman he had ever known.

He pushed the beautiful brunette away from him, "I'm sorry Vanessa. I just can't do this. I... There is someone very important in my life now.." Vanessa looked a little hurt, but shrugged her shoulders. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised. 6 months is a long time, Roy. But I am happy for you." She smiled at him as she got up from her seat. "Roy...? What color hair does this woman have?" She asked curiously, her head was tilted as she kept her eyes on the window they were in front of.

Confused, he raised an eyebrow as he wiped the lip gloss from his lips. "Blonde, why?" He saw the smile leave her face as she nibbled on her lip. "Uhm... Well... Someone was out there... Outside the window... She pointed to the window. "And... Well, it was a woman... With blonde hair... Roy's eyes widened as he looked out the window. "Which way did she go?" Vanessa walked out with him and pointed towards the military grounds. That was when Roy cursed himself for being such a jackass.

When Riza got out of the cab she had hailed once she got back to the military grounds, she paid the man and ran into her building. She still felt like vomiting up her lunch. Climbing the stairs to the 2nd floor, she opened the door and locked it behind her. Taking the phone from the wall, she walked into her room and plugged it back in. Tears were running down her cheeks, silently she started sobbing. Her heart had finally broken.

Dialing Winry's phone number, she waited for her best friend to pick up. "Winry?" Riza choked out, although she was crying, she wasn t balling. It was hard to see the man she loved, kiss another woman. Especially after they had just had their first date a couple days ago. 'Am I no good? Does he not like me?' Winry heard the choked question and forgetting for a moment that the woman wasn t with her, she nodded. "Oh... Uhm, yes. I'm here, Riza... What's wrong, hun?" She sat on the chair next to her telephone waiting for the woman who had been like a sister to her to speak. Winry drummed her fingers on her knee, knowing the woman was shaken up about something, but the only thing that would cause tears... Was the Fuhrer.

'What did that ass do this time?' Shaking her head, she looked at the time on the clock, 10:00 pm. Just then, a slightly more composed Riza said sadly into the receiver, "He doesn t want me, Winry... What's wrong with me?" Winry sighed and shook her head, 'What is wrong with this girl?' "Riza... What are you talking about? What happened, to make you think Roy doesn t want you?" Riza didn t answer; she just hung up the phone, leaving a surprised and angry Winry sitting with a phone to her ear.

Shaking her head, Winry hung the phone up before going upstairs and climbing into the bed with a sleeping Ed. In the morning she would tell him of the news and have him go see the Fuhrer. 'That jackass probably messed everything up...' That was her last thought before she fell fast asleep in Ed's arms.

When Urey woke up the next morning, the couple got up for the routine that had been their life the past year. Ed went for Urey, to change and dress him, and then he'd bring him into the kitchen. Once Urey was set down in his high chair, Winry would give him his breakfast. Sometimes it was eggs, other times it was cereal. Today, it was oatmeal with pieces of fruit in it. While Winry cooked, she spoke to Ed about the strange phone call she had got from Riza.

"Ed, I think you should go see Roy. Something happened between him and Riza... Ed looked at her, his eyebrow raised. Riza was like a step-mother to him. She had always worried about him and Al while they searched for the philosopher's stone. She had told him about things, the Ishvalan war, things that no one would tell him. What war does to a person, and how he was lucky, that Roy had not allowed him to be shipped off to war... "What do you mean, something happened? What's the matter?"

Winry sighed as she poured the oatmeal into a bowl for the baby and put it into the fridge. She turned to look at him and shook her head, "I got a call from Riza last night... She was crying." This made Ed stand. "Why was she crying?" Winry shrugged her shoulders, "I don t know Ed... She hung up before she could answer me. Why don't you go see Roy? Maybe he can tell you what's going on." Ed nodded and looked down at his son. "Your Uncle Roy is making things difficult again...

Ed watched as Winry fed Urey, kissing both of them before going to the door. He pulled on his boots and his blazer and walked out of the house. Once more, as he always did when leaving for Central, he went over to his childhood home. Ed had learned his lesson the first time he came over, after May had moved in.

She and Al hadn t even waited until they got to the bedroom before taking clothes off. Luckily, Ed caught them before they were all the way naked. But from then on, he knocked before walking in. May answered the door, smiling at her soon-to-be brother-in-law. "Hi, Ed! Isn't it a little early to be out and about?" She had grown a lot over the years since the promised day. Instead of being a midget, she was now, at least 5 feet. He smiled at her as he nodded, "yeah, but I have some work in Central. I was wondering, if you and Al could watch over Winry? She should be okay.. But the doctor says she could go into labor anytime now.."

May smiled widely, she loved babies. "Yes, of course we can check in on her! Oh Ed! You're gonna have another baby so soon!" The girl started jumping up and down excitedly as she squealed. Ed, not being able to not be excited over his unborn baby girl smiled. "Okay, May... Calm down... So, I guess I'll see you later. And don t forget to call Central HQ if anything happens. Okay?" With a nod from the younger girl, he smiled one last time before heading off to talk to Mustang.

A/N: Okay, don t kill me! I had to make something happen! D: I am sorry for Riza... She is such a strong woman though...: D She will survive and become stronger from this. But, she really should have stayed a little longer before running off... Hmm... What will happen next chapter? I dunno.. Well, I lied... I do know! :O But you'll just have to wait. :D Okay, you know the drill, lovelies! Read and Review!
