Summary: They may be jealous. Prompt - New Life
Notes: Prompted by Dotdodot. (You're a sweetheart!)
They are not jealous.
At all.
Ling and Lan Fan are happy for them, really. Edward and Winry deserve their baby.
Ling isn't bitter about the fact that his friends have a wonderful relationship, and no one is against them.
Lan Fan isn't jealous of how happy Winry is. The blonde woman's stomach is swollen with pregnancy, and the letter the picture was attached to said she was reaching her eighth month.
They aren't jealous.
Ling is infertile, and Lan Fan... she wouldn't be able to handle the stress of being bedridden and not being able to protect him.
It's better this way, really.
After all, the Council can barely handle their engagement; but the heir being the child of a commoner? Scandalous.
Ling has suggested adoption, in secret. After all, the only people that know about his infertility are Lan Fan, May, and Alphonse (the last on accident, really.)
Lan Fan might go with adoption, maybe. When she was a child, though, she always dreamed (secretly) about a family of her own, a child or two. Her own children.
Put adoption would be fine. Over time, she would come to love the child as her own.
A pang of longing echoes through the two.
Maybe a little jealous.
AN: Yeah, this is probably different than what you wanted. You most likely wanted Ling and Lan Fan having a baby.
I'm sorry. But, my personal belief is that Ling is infertile from his time as a Homunculus. And, I doubt Lan Fan would like being bedridden for 9 months, even if they could have children.
Sorry, I hope this is still okay for you. If you want, I can write a separate one-shot for you.
((Or maybe an adopted!Lingfan baby...? I really want to do that now... Give me your thoughts!))
