I know that this could never really work in the actual plot because Ed takes his shirt off too many times. I KNOW. But this is called FANfiction. Not goesalongwiththeoriginalplot soyoucan'tdoanythingexcitingfiction.

The lamp was now broken.

"What the hell was that for?!" Roy shouted at the girl. Ella glared at him, her sun colored eyes piercing straight into his onyx ones. Of course she would be angry. He had gotten her pregnant, abandoning her and their son. Though, it wasn't entirely Roy's fault. He knew this, and even she knew this.

"It was for acting like a jerk!" Ella shouted out. She couldn't help but feel a rush of anger over seeing this man. Sure, they had seen each other since the birth of their child. She had gone to headquarters even though she had gained so much weight. She saw everyone and turned in reports, though denied missions now.

She should have taken on missions. She should have acted like nothing ever happened. Though, she couldn't risk her son losing a Mother, like she had lost hers.

"Edward, I had no idea I had a son! You kept him a secret from me! How the hell was I supposed to support you two if you had disappeared off the face of the planet!" Roy shouted out once more.

With this, Ella looked away from him. She couldn't continue to face him, knowing that she had done so many wrong things. Wrong things that she justified as the best thing for her child. Their son.

"You're not the type of man I want for my son. You're not the Father I want my son to have. I'm working just fine by myself, supporting Johnny and I. Al and Winry help whenever we go to Resembool, and as far as I am concerned, that is his home. I don't ever want him to be associated with Central, or the military," Ella told Roy, though much quieter and softer than before.

"Ed, I want to be a Father. I want to know who my son is, and I want to help you take care of him. We don't have to do this right away, but I want to be apart of his life, as his Father. Not some creepy friend of the family that happens to spend a lot of time with him," Roy explained. He wanted them to come up with a plan to have both of them taking care of Johnny.

"I guess..I guess we could come up with something.." Ella sighed. She didn't want to have anything to do with Roy, but if she had to, she would.

"So, which friend did you leave our son with, anyway?" Roy asked. With this, Ella let out a laugh.

"With Gracia and Hughes,"

"They were in on it?!" Roy shouted out.

"Of course they were. Hughes was the one who found out I was pregnant with me. He took good care of me when it was you who should have," Ella said.

"Look, if you had actually told me, I would've been there. But you didn't, so I wasn't. I would really like to see him, though," Roy said.

"You can see him later. I have work to do thanks to your dumb report," Ella said.

"Dumb. That's an improvement from fucking or dumb ass," Roy chuckled.

"I have a child. I have to improve my language," Ella said with a sigh. "Let's go," she said.

"Where are we going?" Roy asked as Ella moved to change her clothing out of pajamas.

"We're going to pick up our son. I'm sure Gracia and Hughes don't need a burden," Ella said. Once she was dressed, she padded her chest down.

"Is that really necessary?" Roy asked.

"If you found out, anyone can. Let's go," Ella said after braiding her hair. They left and arrived to Hughes` house. She knocked on the door before just walking in. "Hughes! Ya here?" Ella asked.

"I'm in here!" Hughes called from the kitchen. Ella and Roy walked in to see Johnny getting his finger bandaged by Hughes.

"What happened?" Ella asked quickly. She moved to inspect the finger.

"He burnt it. I'm telling you, he's a little pyromaniac," Hughes chuckled.

"Just like his Father," Roy smirked from behind. Hughes immediately turned to see the other. "Good afternoon, Maes,"

"Does he know?" Hughes asked Ella. She nodded softly.

"Unfortunately," she said with a grimace.

"Well, it'll be good for Johnny to have his Father in his life," Hughes said.

"He's my Daddy?" Johnny asked, pointing to Roy.

"I am," Roy said with a chuckle.

"I have a Daddy?" Johnny asked directed to Ella. She gave a nod.

"Of course you have a Daddy. Do you think you were hatched out of an egg, or something?" Ella asked with a laugh. At this, Johnny laughed as well. Ella placed him on the ground and the boy took Roy by the hand, dragging him to the living room where he had drawn little circles.

"What is this?" Roy asked.

"My transtation circles," Johnny said, looking up at Roy. It nearly knocked the breath out of him when he saw how much Johnny looked like him.

"You mean transmutation circles?" Roy asked. The boy nodded. "You know, Ed, he's very advanced for a three-year old," Roy told the woman. Ella moved over to see what the two were doing. When she saw the circles, she gasped.

"What did you do?" Ella asked softly. Johnny looked up at his Mother with a smile.

"I'm makin` alchemy like you do!" Johnny exclaimed with a smile.

"No, no, you can't. I'm sorry, Johnny, but you can't," Ella said quickly. She picked up the papers that had the transmutation circles on them and put them in a book, placing it on a shelf that Johnny couldn't reach.

"But Mommy-!" Johnny was interrupted by Ella firmly saying, "No." The toddler pouted deeply as he ran out of the room. Ella sighed.

"Why didn't you just let him do the alchemy?" Roy asked.

"He's too young. I don't want him to get involved in anything having to do with alchemy," Ella said with another sigh.

"Why not?" Roy asked with curiosity. After all, there was nothing bad about alchemy. It was just the way that you used it that determined if it was good or bad.

"I don't want him to make my mistakes," Ella said firmly. "And I don't want you to question my parenting anymore. You can do whatever you want when he comes to visit you," she added. Roy watched the woman's back as she walked away and took their son in her arms.

"Goodbye, Roy. I'll see you at work," she said as she left with her son.

"Mommy, is that really my Daddy?" Johnny asked.

"Of course," Ella said. "You're going to visit him tomorrow. I'll drop you off at Mr. and Mrs. Hughes` house and he'll pick you up. Is that alright with you?" she asked.

Johnny nodded with a bright smile. "I like Daddy," he said happily.

"I'm glad," Ella said softly.
