Chapter 7
The next day Granny was up early with breakfast cooking, Jean was the next one to wake up only he woke up to the smell of breakfast. "….What smells good?" Granny walked into the room whipping her hands on her apron.
"You should take it easy; you're still going to be in pain from the operation, yesterday." Jean looked down at his leg then up at Granny again.
"I had the weirdest dream last night, I thought Roy and Riza (Hawkeye) came out here and found me. Isn't that something?" He let out a small chuckle; just then Roy came walking out of his room and into the living room.
"Hi Havoc. Did you sleep well?" Jean stared at him with a blank look on his face, "What?" Roy took a set in the lazy boy next to the coffee table; he grabbed the news paper off the table and started to read it. Then he remembered something. "….I can't believe I forgot about the others." Jean now gave him a puzzled look.
"What others?" A soft knock at the door got their attention, Roy and Jean looked at each other then watched as Granny walked over to the front door. It was Armstrong and the others, "Oh, those others." A sweat bubble ran down the back of Jean's head as Armstrong spotted him.
"Oh Havoc, I'm so happy to see you alive!" Armstrong came running in and gave Jean a big old hug, Roy could hear Jean's back popping in several spot. "I thought you were dead." Tears started to stream down Armstrong's cheeks.
"I-I missed you t-too Armstrong." Jean was having a hard time talking because Armstrong was squishing the air out of him, Granny came walking in and hit the back of Armstrong's head with Jean's new leg.
"What do you think you're doing?! He has to rest, and you squeezing him isn't helping at all!" Armstrong released Jean and took a deep breath and looked at the metal leg. "Oh, Jean your leg is done." Everyone in the room gave her a blank look as she bent over and attached the new leg on to Jean's old leg. "Okay this may hurt a little."
"What could be so-" When the new nerves connected to the old ones it sent this shocking feeling racing through Jean's body.
"Its okay, Ed still flinches at that part too." Jean was about ready to give up on a pain free life because it wasn't going to happen as long as he had that automail leg. "There. All done, you may have a hard time walking on it at first but you'll be running with it and not even notice the difference until you need to fix it." Just then Ed and Al came walking in and once again a wrench flew at the two.
"Ed what did you do to your arm!? I spent forever on that arm!" Jean had a blank look on his face along with the others except for Granny, she was use to it. "Ed one of these days I'm going to kill you if you come in here again with no arm or leg!" Blood was now streaming out of Ed's head.
"Winry what was that for!!"
"Ed, your arm is gone, again!!" Jean wished they'd stop yelling, because some of the neighbors were looking in through the window to see what was going on.
"It's not my fault that Scar broke it!!"
"Note to self, never come back with automail broken." Granny started to laugh at Jean's 'note to self'. Winry threw Ed into a chair and removed what little of his arm was left.
"This is going to take me all night and most of the next day," She ex-held heavily and looked over at Jean on the coach. "In the mean time Ed, help Jean walk again." Ed's jaw hit the floor.
"What!!" Another wrench hit Ed in the back of head, only this time it was from Jean. "Ow, what was that for?" Ed rubbed the back of his head where it hit him, thankful it didn't start to bleed yet.
"Watch your mouth! And if I'm correct it was you and Al that cut my leg off in the first place!"
"Ed did it." Everyone looked at Al then at Ed, Ed shrugged and stood up.
"Fine I'll help, but on one condition." Ed walked over to Jean and helped him up, "No more wrenches will be thrown at my head. Got it?" Jean nodded yes; both Ed and Jean looked at Winry.
"If you come back with broken automail then I can." Winry said as an evil grin grew across her face, Ed turned to face Jean. Jean shrugged. Granny handed Jean his crutches.
"Get going you two. Jean I want you to try and walk on your new leg, Ed don't let him fall." Granny turned to face Roy and the others, "Oh, if you want you can go with them. We'll need some more bread if everyone's going to stay again." Winry handed Jean the backpack and a bottle of water.
"Thanks Winry." Jean gave her a hug, he treated Winry like the little sister he never had. Ed got really mad about that, because Winry was his girlfriend! Well not yet but one day she will be.
"Hey! Why are you nice to him and not me?! Come on I've known you longer then him!"
