We could discuss this for hours,—not that we were arguing—, but there was no doubt about this decision. We've known the Blakes since Al and I came back to our world and we were well aware that they were all terrific alchemists, including their young eight year old, Dianne.

We also knew that David, their twenty year old son, was crazy enough to attempt a human transmutation. But we were too late. He dared to do it and it took not only his life, but his parents', their home and Anny's right arm. When we came to put out the fire it caused, I found Anny crying and bleeding. She knew what had happened and I took her to one of the ambulances that were arriving.

Winry accompanied her to the hospital while my subordinates and I tried to find Dianne's family. But nobody else was in that house. When I arrived and my squad flanking me, Mustang was there and told me of the young girl's status. I went up to her room, but Winry was outside. She told me that nurses were cleaning Anny.

"Edward, what are we going to do?" She asked.

"I don't know Win, what can we do?"

"She has to go somewhere. I mean, she can't be in an orphanage or something." She said.

"You want to take her in?" My question was supportive. I agreed with my wife; that child could not be left alone.

"Can we? You don't mind if we do? We do have another baby coming our way and maybe we can't handle it." It was true. We did have two children already and she was pregnant with our third. Could we really handle four kids?

"We'll manage. Anny isn't mischievous and she doesn't bother." That child had an adorable soul.

"That is true and she's scared right now. She needs us." Winry, always trying to help.

"So we include her in our family?" I just wanted her answer.

"Yes, oh, and I can build her an automail arm, one that's fit to her complexion!" she beamed and whispered with joy.

I took her in my arms and spun her softly. "You're more beautiful when you do that."

"Thank you and you're more of a sweetheart when you do this." She said as she kissed me.

"Thanks."

"You think Anny will be alright?"

"With our help, of course." I would have thought twice about this if I wasn't married with Winry. But since I know this girl and I'm in love with my wife, I open my doors to her. She'll love how her new mom will treat her.

Can you believe me if I told you this one was the 2nd drabble I wrote for these guys? Just to clear things: Dianne and Anny are the same person. I just like nicknames. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this! Reviews are love! Thank you all for your time! I'll update on Wednesday!
