Chapter Seven Announcements

"Riza, are you going to be okay?" I stood over the toilet, vomiting my brains out. Isaiah hadn't left for work yet, he was standing right there, holding my hair back. I stood up and he let go of my hair. I turned to him,

"I will be fine, just go to work. Or none of us are going to eat, so go! I will be fine, I promise." He looked unsure but nodded just the same. He grabbed his bag and files, kissed my cheek, and walked out the door. I sighed, then I heard an knock on the door. It was Akira.

"Hello come on in!" I welcomed her in as she took her sari off the top of her head as I felt another vomit coming I excused myself and ran to the bathroom and continued to vomit.

"Ah, so you are with child! How wonderful now my son will have someone to play with!" She said excitedly as she stood leaning on the door frame. I just looked at her like she's crazy. I had only been married seven months.

"I am not pregnant. I cant be," She looked at me like I was crazy,

"So you and your husband have never?" She asked. I quickly responded.

"Of course we have Akira, its got to be impossible. I can't be. Can I?"

"You should talk to the doctor, then tell me how it went and it will be easier to tell your husband. Oh wait," She realized her mistake. Isaiah was the towns doctor, the only town doctor that was still in practice. I couldn't believe that I might be pregnant. I mean Akira, she was pregnant, about 4 months along. She looked at me with knowing eyes. I had stood with her while she was making good friends with her toilet.

"I can't. It isn't like Isaiah isn't worried enough about me. I can't add pregnant to that list. He would never leave my side! Well in some perspective that's a good thing, but otherwise, its bad!" Akira just laughed, and said

"Well if you need a midwife let me know." Then there was a knock at the door, 'Who could that be' I thought. I put my sari on as I rushed to the door with Akira right on my heels. It was a familiar looking man in a military uniform. I looked at him again and yelled

"ROY!" He looked at me, and then he thought for a minute, still not knowing who I was. I took off my sari and he gaped at me,

"RIZA! What are you doing here?" He put his arms around me and swung me around, it was lucky that Isaiah wasn't around.

"I should ask you the same question,"

"The military, is looking for someone, it is a man, Amestrian, and alchemist with short black hair and black eyes,

"Roy Mustang! You little twerp! You just described your self!"

"Hey I have an airtight alibi for the night that this mans crime occurred, now what are you doing in Ishval? Visiting a friend?" I didn't have the heart to tell him I had gotten married, so I just lied and said,

"Yes this is Akira's home. Right Akira?" She immediately picked up on what I was saying and said.

"Yes I am Akira Gruina, Riza has been my friend for some time." She smiled and asked him

"Please leave my husband is due home any time now and he doesn't like the Amestrian military, please just go Ms. Ri-Hawkeye, can see you another time. Good Day." She shut the door in his face. She looked at me and said

"So, you don't really love your husband!"

"No, that's not it Akira, really! I love my husband, heck I might just be having his child, but Roy and I have been good friends for about six to seven years now, how do you think he would take it if he suddenly found out I was married?" I argued, she said she was going but she'd be back in the morning to see how I am doing. And to make sure I told Isaiah about Roy. I nodded my head as she hugged me and walked out the door. I went back to my normal household activities until Isaiah got home. Then I would have to tell him every thing that had happened that day, this was going to be a long night.
