Riza and Roy have been trying to fix all they could. This child was an accident but it would never know the truth. Riza has always secretly wanted a child but knew that it would be wrong of her to do that to a child. But one thing was for certain, just because this child was an accident didn't in any way mean that they wouldn't love it to their full extent.
"Ready?" Roy yelled while in the kitchen, looking in the refrigerator.
"Yeah, coming," Riza walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. When seeing what Roy was doing, she put her hands on her hips. "Get your head out of there, were going to eat at the Hughe's house. Can't you hold on until then?" Riza scolded.
"Uh, no," Roy told her as he picked out an apple from the shelf in the refrigerator. He looked at her and gave her the smile which he knew would get him out of a lecture from his wife.
"Uhhhh, whatever," she sighed in defeat, while getting her jacket and walking out of the door. Roy just fallowed her.
When they got to the Hughe's house they didn't even have to knock. Elicia opened the door, she had been looking out the window waiting for them to arrive.
"Hey kiddo, how are you?" Roy asked the little girl while simultaneously picking her up and caring her to the living room where her parents were.
"Well Daddy got me a new toy. Want to see it?" Elicia had a shine in her eye, and she was excited to be talking to her uncle. Roy let her down and she ran to get her new toy.
"Well how have you been dear?" Gracia asked Riza with a smile.
"Not all that bad, how about you?" Riza asked, while following her into the kitchen to help Gracia finish supper.
"You seem to be taking everything quite well Roy. Surprising from how you were just a few days ago." Maos had a hint of sarcasm in his voice, but also a bit of curiosity that Roy could only think of was worry.
"Despite what we did, I do plan to make the best of it. The child will be loved," Roy finished as Elicia carried in a doll.
"See Uncle Roy, it's a baby doll. And she makes laughing noises and everything," Elicia went on about her baby doll and Roy listened intently and smiled at the little girl. He loved her dearly and at that moment he knew he would be a great father.
"I see you love your doll very much, you have to take care of her," Roy encouraged her.
"I'll be a great mommy," Elicia said with the biggest smile she could congure up.
"I think you will be too," Roy said will patting the girl on the head. Maos sat and smiled at the picture in front of him.
"Dinner's ready," Gracia yelled from the kitchen.
While at dinner they all made small talk. The two boys went on about work related topics and the Lady's went on about a baby shower of some sort. Elicia talked to her new doll that she carried around where ever she went.
After dinner the women cleaned up as Elicia stayed at the table "feeding" her baby doll. The men migrated to the living room still talking about work.
Roy's eyes ventured over to the pictures on the fire place.
"It's been almost two years now," Maos said in a sad tone.
"Hard to believe," Roy countered in an even sadder tone.
"Ready to go Roy?" Neither of the men saw the women come into the room.
"Sure," Roy said.
"Aw, already?" Elicia whinnied.
"Yup. And I think it's about time for you to be going to bed anyways," Roy teased her.
"Nah!" Elicia said with a smile.
"Come here kid," Roy said to her with his arms stretched out. Elicia ran into them, then went to give Riza a hug as well.
"Come see us soon," Gracia said. Everyone said their goodbyes.
While in the car, both Riza and Roy were silent.
"I think everything will be fine," Riza spoke up.
"I think so too," Roy told her while reaching for her hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze that seemed to comfort them both.
