Chapter 1: Trouble, with a capital T

While upstairs, Winry sat on her bed. She put her pajamas on. As she lay there, she began to feel a sharp pain in her abdominal area.(maybe it's just cramps cause' i haven't had my period since i got pregnant)she thought. The pain went just as it came. (see, told you, it's only because you haven't had your period)she told herself. Winry picked up her book and began to read. When she got into a comfortable position, the pain began to get worser and worser. (I might need something to calm it down).So she went back downstairs to get something to take. Ed was probaly somewhere near by. When she reached the kitchen, the pain was so unbearable that she practically fell from the place she was standing. Now, Winry realized that something was wrong and she needed help,fast. Winry tried to get back on her feet but the pain would not let her. When she finally got up, she was bending over, holding her stomach. "Ed!" she tried to yell, but Ed was no where in sight. The pain was so horrible that Winry was in tears. She stumbled to keep her balance. "Ed!"she yelled again, hoping that he heard her. Al and granny were already sleep, and their doors were shut . She managed to pull herself onto the steps. "Ed!"she yelled aganin. No answer. Winry knew for sure that she was alone totally. "Who's that?"a voice called. "It's me Winry"Winry said as she cried. The voice belonged to Al. He came down the stairs and knew that something was wrong."Where's Ed?"he asked her. "I don't know, he might have went some where"she replied. "Al, i need you to call 911 please"she said crying, and holding her stomach. " I think somethings wrong with the baby"she finished. Al was trying his best to keep Winry comfortable.

When Ed reached the spot where Al was waiting, he noticed that Al was a little pale. "Al what's wrong with you?"he asked him. "Ed, come on, somethings wrong with Winry i think"he replied. Ed and Al ran back to the house, but by the time they reached it, Winry was no longer concious. She lay slumped on the floor of the living room. Ed picked her up and put her on the couch. He tried to recictate her, but he was getting no response. "Al call 911!"he instructed his little brother. Al quickly got the phone and made the call. Within minutes, an ambulance arrived. The ambulance technician asked them what happened. "Well, i heard someone calling Ed's name, but i did not know who it was until she answered back"Al told them. "I don't know what happened before that though"Al continued.

"Do you know if she will be alright?"Ed asked."She'll be fine but i'll have to stabilize her first, and is she pregnant?"the lady asked. "Yes"Ed replied. When they reached the hospital, Winry was still unconcious. Ed and Al stayed by her side.

Meanwhile Janine had just got off of work. She thought about what happened to her and her dad. She decided to go see her dad in the hospital. When she got there, they told her to wait. Janine sat and waited. When the doctor came to her, her heart lept. She knew that her fathere was alright,thanks to Al , Izumi, and Ed. "Well, Ms.Mustang, i'm sorry to say that your dad died a little while ago, and he told me to give this to you" .The doctor handed her the jewel that the men had demanded. Janine's eyes filled with tears. She never thought that her dad would be gone from her. She slid down the wall of the hospital. Janine cried her heart out. Now she knew what it felt like to lose someone dear to you. She vowed that thosed men that had killed her dad would be the ones who pay the most. Janine cleaned herslef up and went back home. When she got there, eveything was quiet. (why dad, why did you have to leave me like this?)Janine thought. She began to cry again. Nothing seemed to matter except that her dad had died. Now she had no one except Al...
