Chapter 10: Soldiers Don't Cry
Ok I'm messing with stuff on this one again. If you don't like that I wouldn't be the least bit offended if you skip this chapter. I'm setting this like Roy is a modern American soldier in Iraq. I fully support the US armed forces (being the daughter of an army officer does that to you) so this one is dedicated to the heroic men and women who risk their own lives so we can live like we do.

It had been a long day of gunfire and chaos for Private First Class Roy Mustang but he couldn't have been happier. In two short days he would be on his way home. Being able to hold his wife and sleep in was all he thought about the whole way back to their desert base. When he reached his bunk Roy flipped open his laptop and was greeted by a computer generated voice saying "You've got mail!"
Thinking it was an e-mail from his wife he quickly opened the inbox. She was nine months pregnant and he worried about her constantly. He worried a bit more when he saw that it was not from his wife but from her best friend.
Dear Roy,
I just thought I'd let you know that as of 32 minutes ago you are the father of a 5lb 2oz gorgeous baby boy. Riza did a wonderful job and they're both happy and healthy. Lucas Allan Mustang can't wait to meet his daddy and his mommy misses you too! Everyone can't wait to see you!

Attached to the letter was a picture of a smiling Riza holding their son. Who ever said that soldiers don't cry never had children.
