Recap of previous chapter
"It's five, I'm about a month and a half gone now," Ed muttered. "Tucker told me, he said I had to find him a week before I was to give birth, so that he could help, he's got Nina back you know, in the form of the homunculus Greed," he said sleepily, yawning widely showingly slightly pointed fangs in the process, Riza smiled
"We'll leave you to get some rest but tomorrow I'm coming back to do a check up on you, that pain doesn't seem normal but since this is a unique case I'm not sure, goodnight Ed, Envy," she said, standing while giving a small bow in farewell, Envy nodded in response since Ed has fallen asleep in his arms, and before either Roy or Armstrong could protest Hawkeye had marched them out of the house and back to the military

Two and a half months later a man in a long trench coat and wide brimmed hat moved into an apartment on the edge of Central's inner city, with him was what appeared to be a young girl with long brown hair and blue eyes, always smiling at those around her, immediately dispelling any suspiscions about the man with her.
A day later the girl left the house alone and walked into town, apparently looking at the market stalls, seemingly unaware of the violet eyes watching her from the other side of the square where the owner of them had been buying food to take home with him, he jumped slightly when the girl turned round suddenly and bounced over to him happily
"Hello Envy," she smiled happily up at the green haired boy
"Greed. What are you doing here?" he replied tensely, unsure of her intentions
"Daddy's moved into a house on the edge of Central just next to the hospital, he told me to come and tell you so Ed knows where to go, what about you? What are you doing here?" she asked innocently looking at the fruit seller behind Envy
"Shopping what does it look like?" Envy sighed before turning back to the fruit seller and buying the pack of peaches and pineapples the merchant was holding out for him, he nodded his thanks and turned back only to find that Greed was gone, with a shrug he moved through the crowds back to his own house
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
Ed sat on the bed by the window looking out gloomily at the people passing by, talking happily amongst themselves, he was currently four months pregnant by fox standards and due to that his waist was currently the size of several large watermelons, hence why he was bedridden, the combined weight of his kits on his hips caused them to hurt too much for him to walk or even stand on them, sitting was only slightly painful but he didn't mind the brief dicomfort
With a sigh he placed his head on the window sill and placed a hand soothingly on his stomach as he felt the kits kick about briefly as he stared out at the tree opposite, as he watched a bird appeared on a branch followed by about four smaller ones, he watched intently as what appeared to be the father bird hopped off the branch and glided to a lower one before turning and tweeting at the others, he grinned as the birds hopped along the branch nervously his tail swishing behind him
He watched as the largest of the chicks puffed it's chest out and spread it's wings confidently before leaping off the branch, it swerved dangerously as soon as it left the branch and chirped in fear, but when the father bird chirped back it seemed to grow confident again and swerved back on course landing next to it's father, the other two followed shortly after leaving the smallest still on the branch, it twirped helplessly and hopped back and forth across the branch flapping it's wings uselessly
Ed having now been drawn into the spectacle of watching the fledglings learn how to fly silently began to urge the bird, his ears pricked forward in anticipation, he watched as the father flew back over and showed it what to do again, but still it refused to jump, by now the other chicks were darting from branch to branch and moving further and further away from the smallest of them, Ed watched sadly as the father flew away after his other chicks and abandoned it on its branch, chirping after him helplessly
It reminded Ed of Hohenheim having abandoned him when he was young and because of that he cried along with the chick, after a couple of minutes he saw the father and the three chicks now able to fly leave the tree and fly over the houses on the other side of the street and with a sniffle he returned his gaze to the now silent bird, he watched intently as it flapped it's wings again and in determination jumped from the branch only to plummet to the ground since it's underdeveloped wings refused to hold it up
Ed's eyes widened, his ears flattened backwards and his tail stiffened as he watched the bird fall to the floor, he placed his hands on the windowsill and managed to raise himself to his knees as he followed the little birds path with a slight wince of discomfort, only to blink in shock as it was stopped suddenly by a pale hand gently catching it in midair, he blinked again and looked towards the face of the hands owner only to smile as he saw the green hair of his lover Envy, he smiled wider when Envy turned to look at him a smile on his face as well before he headed across the street to the door of their house
Ed turned and stared expectantly at the door as he heard the front door open and close before footsteps sounded on the stairs, crossing his legs comfortably as the door slowly swung open
"Welcome back Envy, have a good time?" he asked happily as Envy set his bags down by their bedroom door before heading towards the bed
"It was okay, I met Greed who said that Tucker's living next to the hospital in preparation for you giving birth, and then this little fella tried to land on my head, albeit unsuccessfully," Envy grinned, sitting on the edge of the bed to show Ed the small bird in his hand, the bird chirped frightenedly and flapped one of it's wings desperately, the other hanging limply by it's side, Ed gently reached over and ran a soothing finger down the birds back to which it calmed slightly and stared up at him curiously
Envy gently tilted his hand and placed the bird into Ed's waiting hands before moving to the bathroom and getting stuff from the cupboard above the sink
Ed smiled down at the bird in his hands and gently stroked a finger down its back occasionally calming it even further until Envy returned and lay what he had collected on the bed, an ice lolly in his mouth and another in his hand, Ed frowned
"What are they for Envy?" he asked curiously as Envy handed him the other lollypop before removing his own from his mouth with a slight pop
"They're to make a splint for this little guys wing, hurry and eat yours before it melts everywhere," he grinned before placing his own back into his mouth, Ed placed his own in his mouth and moaned as the cool pineapple flavoured melted on his tongue, placing the bird gently on the bedside table he closed his eyes as he concentrated on the taste of the ice pop in his mouth, oblivious to the lusty eyes staring at him from only a couple of centimetres away, he did notice them when he felt the ice pop removed from his mouth
Ed's eyes snapped open to see Envy leaning close to him and holding his ice pop in his free hand before he leaned forward and captured Ed's mouth with his own, his tongue immediately entwining with Ed's who moaned at the now mixed flavour of Pineapple and Raspberry in his mouth, but it quickly vanished and was again replaced with Pineapple as Envy replaced his ice pop before rushing off to the bathroom, closing the door behind him
Ed snickered as he realised why and continued to eat his lolly until only the stick remained, as he took it out of his mouth the bathroom door opened and Envy re-entered the room with a small cough and a slight blush he approached Ed and took the stick from him
"We'd better fix up the little guys wing before it starts to set wrong," he muttered avoiding Ed's gaze in embarrassment, Ed smiled cheekily and nodded his agreement, scooting across the bed slightly he gently held the bird in right hand, noting how it shivered at his touch but stayed calm, making sure he had a firm hold on the small bird but not enough to hurt it he slowly stretched its broken wing with his left hand, upon which it gave a startled screech and tried to struggle against Ed's restraining grip, he winced at the birds desperate cries but watched worriedly as Envy placed the now clean and dry ice pop sticks on both sides of the break and effectively taped them together
When Ed gently released the little birds wing it flapped it a couple of times experimentally then chirped sadly when it realised it wasn't fixed
"What should we do with it? We can't leave it but neither of us know how to look after it," Ed wondered aloud, he looked up at Envy who had a thoughtful expression on his face before a grin spread across it
"I'll be back in a minute," he said quickly before turning and walking quickly out the door, Ed turned to the window and watched as Envy ran out and down the street back to the market place, he shrugged in confusion to the homunculi's actions and returned his attention to the little bird in his hand, not noticing the dark figure watching him from its position across the street, a malicious grin on its face
"You will be mine Edward Elric, there's no doubt about that," it grinned darkly before turning back into the room it currently occupied, a flash of red hair vanishing behind the black curtains, Ed shivered as a seemingly cold feeling washed over him, he looked out the window but didn't see anything, with a shrug he closed the window just in case
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
Envy was exiting the bookstore when he walked straight into a tall coated figure wearing a large brimmed hat as well, he frowned up at the darkened face area and was about to mumble a small apology before he noticed the young girl by the figures side and he growled slightly
"What do you want Tucker?"
"I'm meerly wanting to check up on young Edward and his kits, but as I have just moved here I am unfamiliar with where to find him, would you care to escort me Envy?" he rasped quietly, lifting his head to smile slightly at Envy
"Fine, but don't try anything, I still don't trust you two," he growled angrily turning and continuing down the street
They arrived back a few minutes later and immediately Envy sensed something was wrong, the window in the kitchen was broken and there was a dark smear that looked a lot like blood leading from there to the stairs, but before he could even process it there was a blood curdling scream from upstairs that shot right down his spine, dropping the bags in his arms he launched himself up the stairs Greed and Tucker close behind
"ED!!!"
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
When Ed had turned back around he had smiled at the small bird now sleeping on the make-shift bed on his bedside table, laying back he closed his eyes and basked in the soft glow from the sun outside listening to the hustle and bustle of the market around the corner and with a sigh he dozed off into a peaceful nap
He had probably been asleep no more than five minutes before he heard a crash from downstairs, blinking sleepily he pushed himself into a sitting position and frowned
"Envy?! Is that you?! You okay?!" he called down, he frowned even more when the noises stopped altogether, he was about to consider risking getting out of bed when he heard the tell tale thud of someone making their way up the stairs, he frowned when the sounds didn't register with anyone he knew
"Envy?! Is that you?" he called nervously, he gave a small sigh when he saw the now familiar green hair of his lover reach the top of the stairs, he smiled warmly in greeting but it wasn't until Envy was a few feet away from the bed did it finally register
Although this person may have looked like Envy, they weren't, he may have the same hair and eye colour but he was definately not Envy, a quick glimpse at his bare upper thigh confirmed it, no oureborus mark
"Y . . . you're not Envy," Ed stuttered, now scared as he was unable to properly protect himself from the slowly advancing fake
"Hmm? Yes I am Ed, what, I've been gone five minutes and you don't recognise me already?" the copy grinned revealing fangs of dangerous sharpness, Ed gulped and backed up against the window, wishing he'd left it open
"No you're not . . . you may look like him, but you're not . . . who ARE you?" Ed asked quickly, hoping to stall the figure long enough, but they didn't stop, only grinning and moving closer still, so close that they were on the bed leaning over Ed's frozen form
"Well, well, I must say, you're faster than Envy is at realising, he took an entire night with me in his arms to realise I wasn't you, I guess I underestimated you . . . so how did you tell?" he grinned, the green hair thickening and turning red as he leaned over Ed, his violet eyes bleeding into a murky amber, Ed gulped nervously
"You walk too heavily," Ed murmered, trying to distract the red head, "Who are you?" he asked with a small growl, not liking the fact he didn't know who was harrassing him
"Oh, sorry, let me introduce myself, my name is Leo, Leo Pride, I'm a chimeara like you but I'm a lion and a chameleon merged with a human, I'm also your new mate," he grinned evilly, leering down at Ed who squeaked in surprise
"What! No your not . . . hic . . . Envy is . . . " he said between hiccups which he had developed from fright when Leo leaned forward and licked up the side of his face
"Hmmhmm, not anymore, you're mine now and there's nothing Envy can do now," he smirked, leaning down with the intention to claim Ed's lips in a kiss
"WAIT!! Don't you want to know exactly why I knew you weren't Envy?" Ed yelped desperately, pushing himself as far back as possible, it was then that he felt a warm droplet land on his hand, quickly glancing down he saw that one of Leo's hands were bleeding, but from what he didn't know, flicking his eyes back to Leo's face he saw a thoughtful expression cross his face before the grin returned
"Go on then, but you owe me something for stopping me," he said with a small frown, one of his hands slowly sliding up Ed's leg in an attempt to be seductive, but it only repulsed Ed more, swallowing the urge to be sick he drew in a shuddery breath as Leo's hand moved further up his leg
"You forgot the Oreborus mark on his left thigh, it's rather distinctive," he rushed as Leo's travelling hand reached his hip and diverted to stroke his bulging stomach, he clenched his hands into tight fists, the nails of his left hand digging into his palm drawing blood as he felt his stomach lurch in repulsion of Leo's hand, his eyes closing involuntarily as well
Leo smirked at Ed's reaction and leaned over him so that their noses brushed, causing Ed's eyes to snap open in shock, he tried to move back but found himself unable to because of the windowsill
"Oh well, it doesn't matter anymore, so now I claim what you owe me," he said with a dark chuckle before leaning down the rest of the way and crushing his lips against Ed's
Ed froze, his breath catching in his throat as Leo forced his mouth open and thrust his tongue in, one of his hands holding Ed's chin, preventing him from biting down on his tongue, Ed whimpered in pain as the child in his belly thrashed around in repulsion of Leo's actions
When Leo eventually pulled back Ed was gasping for air and two identicle bruises were forming on his cheeks where Leo and held him still, looking up at Leo's smirking face he growled and spat at him angrily
"Get the hell away from me, I already have a mate," he hissed darkly, glaring daggers at Leo
Leo wiped the spit from his cheek slowly before he glared at Ed in return, with a low growl he leaned over him again, smirking slightly at the flash of fear in Ed's eyes
"You will be mine Edward whether you like it or not, your kits will see me as their father and you will be MY mate," he growled darkly, Ed frowned and growled back, spitting directly into his face again
"Like hell they will, I'd rather they die before you get your filthy claws on them lion-shit," Ed swung his right fist at Leo who just caught it in his own clawed hand, he leaned over Ed and grinned darkly
"My pleasure," he almost purred before his other hand shot towards Ed's stomach, Ed let out an ear-splitting scream of pain as Leo's hand tore into his stomach
The intense pain lasted for about ten seconds before it dulled slightly and he heard the dull thud of someone hitting the wall, gasping against the pain he managed to open his eyes and glance to where two figures were fighting, recognising one of them to be the real Envy, then his view was cut off by a dark shadow that layed a cool palm against his brow
"Hush Edward, you're alright, go to sleep now, I'll wake you in a while," the raspy voice said soothingly and Ed in his wounded state found himself unable to resist and closing his eyes quickly fell asleep
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
When Envy heard the scream he launched himself up the stairs as fast as he could, taking them four at a time, when he reached the room he knew Ed was in all he saw was Ed crying on the bed in pain with a red head leaning over him leeringly, his vision went red and with a small cry of anger he shot forward tearing the red head away from Ed, unaware of the stream of blood that followed his hands
When the red head hit the wall Envy was fast behind him, punching him sharply in the face which emitted a crack as he broke their nose, then grasping a hold of the black shirt they were wearing he jerked them forwards getting a proper view of the intruder
"YOU! What are you doing here? I though I made it clear a month ago, stay away from me and Ed, or you will suffer the consequences Leo," he spat in the chimeara's grinning face, the face changed before his eyes to an exact mimic of Ed, no mistakes
"But Envy, you wouldn't hurt your own chibi-san would you?" he asked in mock fear before he got the answer of a resounding slap across his face
"I've done that myself too many times to be fooled by another, answer the question Leo. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" he yelled angrily, Leo just smirked and lifted a blood covered hand to within Envy's eyesight
"I'm just destroying your future as you destroyed mine, homonculus," he spat with a sick smirk on his face, Envy frowned as he tried to identify the red substance on Leo's hands, not able to instantly recognise it in his anger, then suddenly it dawned on him and he paled visibly, his eyes darted to Ed's now unmoving figure to see Tucker leaning over him worriedly
Envy saw the red blood dripping off the side of the bed and gasped in horror, then with a snarl he twisted and slammed his fist into Leo's chest, easily passing through and grasping the chimeara's beating heart
"You will pay for this with your life, know that and remember it lion-crap," he grinned sadistically, Leo's eyes widened briefly as his body slowly registered the fact that Envy had his fist in his chest before Envy clenched the hand around his heart and crushed it, causing blood to spurt from around his hand still in Leo's chest
Leo gasped and gave a feeble cough as his throat filled with the warm liquid as he stared into Envy's cold eyes, his hands clutched momentarily at Envy's hand before they fell to his side lifeless, his eyes dulled to a light brown as he died
Envy removed his hand and shifted away the blood, letting Leo's dead body slip to the floor unceremoniously, standing tall he turned took a closer look at where Ed lay, his breath hitched as he finally saw the true amount of blood surrounding Ed's pale form
"Tucker is he . . . he isn't . . . he can't be . . . " he said quietly staring helplessly at the aparently lifeless form of Ed, he barely felt the small hand of Greed take his own and slowly lead him out the room, his eyes were glazed over as the image of Ed, pale and lifeless laying in a pool of his own blood that was flowing thickly from a large wound in his swollen stomach, his chest barely moving as he breathed was imprinted in his mind
He remained unaware until several hours later when he was slapped sharply across the face, blinking stupidly he stared at the furious face of Riza Hawkeye who was staring at him worriedly
"Huh?" he said stupidly
"Thank god, he's finally responding, Envy are you okay?" Riza sighed, placing a hand on his shoulder
"Um, yeah . . . why?" he frowned, looking around he saw an ashen faced Mustang stood behind her with Alphonse stood nervously by his side, looking beyond them he saw the pale white walls and information posters that told him he was in a hospital, and as if that was a kick start to his memory he suddenly remembered Ed, with a gasp he paled and shot out of the seat he was sat in. "Good god, ED! Where is he . . . is he okay . . . I've gotta find him . . . " he rushed
Before he had even made it to the door it opened and he was grabbed by a man with a scar on his face and prevented from continuing
"Let me GO! Dammit Scar not now, I need to find Ed!" he screamed desperately, trying to struggle but finding himself unable to move effectively
"Ed's in theatre . . . in a critical condition Envy . . . they don't know if he'll live or not," Alphonse said in a quite voice, a sob escaping as he spoke, Envy instantly froze in Scar's grasp who loosened his hold on Envy slightly
"Envy, can you tell us what happened, all we know is that a girl who goes by the name of Greed phoned us and the hospital and when we arrived Tucker was upstairs keeping Ed stable while Greed was keeping an eye on you, there was also another body but we still have no clue as to who they are yet," Mustang asked clamly, the slight shake of his hand showing his true feelings of shock and worry
Envy turned as if in a daze and returned to his seat, Scar letting him go, sitting down he stared wide eyed at the floor, he felt a strange and unusual warmth flow down his cheeks and it wasn't until Riza appeared in front of him again with a tissue did he realise he was crying, taking the tissue he quickly wiped his eyes before answering Roy's questions
"I'd gone out to get a book for Ed and met Tucker and Greed on my way back, when we got to the house I noticed the window was broken and then . . . then . . . " he broke out into geniune sobs as he remembered with enormous detail exactly what occured, even what he hadn't noticed at first
"It's alright Envy, shh, everything's going to be okay," Riza murmered as she gently enfolded him in a hug, allowing her caring nature to show through, Envy sobbed into her shoulder but quickly calmed himself
" . . . then Ed screamed . . . I thought the whole world was crumbling . . . he was in so much pain . . . I ran up the stairs and burst into our room . . . and there he was still screaming in pain as that other person tore . . . gulp . . . tore " he paused again as the images flashed across his vision, but before anyone else could say anything he continued
"He was tearing our babies from inside Ed . . . I got so angry I don't think I was thinking straight but I ran . . . I grabbed the person and threw them across the room, one of our . . . our . . . it was still in his hand," he sobbed, unable to say their child anymore, "I recognised him as the chimeara Leo, the one I left at Scar's and Rose's, he'd decided to take Ed as his own, and . . . and . . . I killed him . . . I put my hand through his chest and squeezed the life from his heart just as he'd done to my babies," he finished in an angry hiss before breaking into fresh sobs
Everyone else was silent after that, taking in what Envy had said, when Envy had calmed down enough Hawkeye released him and sat beside him as he composed himself
It was another half an hour before their silence was interrupted by the doors opening to two figures, one was a young female wearing glasses and with her red hair attached in a bun atop her head, the other was Tucker without his coat on, on seeing them Envy jumped to his feet and raced over
"How is he? Is he alright?" he asked desperately, the woman smiled at him
"Ah, you must be Mr Envy, would you follow me for a second please, I want you to hear this privately first, then you can decide on telling the others, Mr Elric's orders and yes he's fine, just," she smiled, Envy nodded and followed her and Tucker as they walked out the doors into an adjoining room, there was a table and three seat in the centre of the room and another door on the other side where the dull beep of machines could be heard
The woman smiled as she took a seat at the tabel, Tucker sat beside her, Envy sat in the remaining chair and waited for her to begin
"Hello Mr Envy, my name is Ellie White, I'm the doctor who has been helping Ed, I need a few details from you first before I can tell you what you are here to hear, I'm sorry for the inconvenience but it is standard procedure, however as I said before Mr Elric is fine," she smiled, Envy gave a sigh in annoyance but nodded for her to continue, she pulled a pen from her pocket and pulled a piece of paper infront of her
"Okay, lets see, full name please?"
"Envy, just Envy, I can't remember my real last name, I can make one up for you if you want?" he shrugged
"No that's alright I'll just put Envy for now," she smiled. "Age?"
"319,"
"I must say you look well for your age Envy, next is date of birth?"
"Don't know, but I think it's in early October," he shrugged
"Shall we say the third?" she asked with a raised eyebrow, he nodded once in agreement before she continued
"Relationship to patient?"
"I'm what you'd call his lover, but I prefer the term partner or husband better," he said with a small smile, Ellie smiled back
"Alright, the last thing I need is for you to sign here and then we're done," she said handing Envy the pen and paper, he quickly scawled his name in an old fancy script before handing it back, Ellie nodded in aproval and placed it in a small red folder
"Alright, Mr Elric is fine, he's lost an aweful amount of blood and is still considered within critical condition, so for the next few days we'll be keeping him here to keep an eye on him and help him when needed, now after we got him into a stable condition he woke up briefly and asked us to tell you privately exactly what was wrong with him, some I'll explain the rest Mr Tucker here will, okay?" she asked
"That's fine, I'm just glad Ed's okay," he sighed, Ellie nodded and continued
"When we arrived at the house we saw Mr Elric laying on the bed as described and with three motionless forms lying at the end of the bed, we found another in the hands on the man on the opposite side of the room, now what Tucker here was able to discover before we arrived was that there was a fifth,"
"While Leo had torn out four of your children he was unable to reach the last one, so I made myself busy keeping Edward and the remaining child safe, and I'm proud to say Envy that you have a healthy baby boy as well, however because of the damage done to Edward's womb we were unable to save it so we had to remove it, therefore Edward can no longer have children," Tucker added
"Yes, we managed to sew Mr Elric up enough for our alchemist to heal the rest of the wound properly with one of the blue stones we made, they work the same as a red stone but they're made differently, anyway we've healed all of Mr Elric's injuries and we were even able to restore his automail limbs for his real limbs, so he no longer has to use automail anymore, so he's okay in that sense but as I said before I'd like to keep him and your little boy here for a few days just to be on the safe side, you're welcome to stay with them as well we have enough room to spare, well unless you have any questions I suppose you can go and see Mr Elric now," Ellie smiled
"I have one question, is he awake?" Envy asked quietly, at Ellie's nod he jumped from his chair and rushed through the other door, where the sounds of machinery was to be heard, and there sitting up in a mound of pillows, eyes closed, hair loose and in a white hospital gown was Ed, his golden ears pricked up listening
"Ed?" Envy whispered, not wanting to disturb him too much, golden eyes snapped open and latched onto violet one that immediately brimmed with tears, Envy ran forward and gently hugged Ed who hugged him back tightly, "Thank god you're alright," he whispered hoarsly into Ed's neck
"Of course, I'm indestructable," Ed chuckled warmly, rubbing his hand calmly over Envy's back in soothing circles as Envy sobbed into his shoulder
"Don't joke around Ed, I almost lost you back there . . . you scared me so much Ed . . . don't frighten me like that again . . . ever," he murmered in response leaning back to look desperately into Ed's eyes, Ed smiled sadly and gave a small nod, one of his hands moving up to gently cup Envy's cheek
Envy closed his eyes and sighed into the soft caress, opening his eyes again he leaned forward and captured Ed's lips in a possessive kiss, allowing his feelings to seep through the kiss and reassure himself that Ed was still there
They kissed until they had to come back for air, at which point a small cry alerted Envy to the small crib on the otherside of Ed's bed, standing he walked round and nervously looked into it to see a small baby boy with short spikey gold hair atop his head crying softly for attention
"You can pick him up if you want Envy, you won't break him," Ed chuckled, Envy stuck his tongue out childishly at Ed before reaching into the crib and picking up the small child who quieted instantly, opening his eyes to reveal bright violet irises staring intently at Envy
Envy smiled and cradled the small bundle in the crook of his arms moving to Ed's side
"He has your hair Chibi," he smiled softly
"Yeah but he's got your eyes Palm-tree," Ed chuckled back, moving to sit next to Envy. "What should we call him?" Ed sighed, reaching out a hand to let the baby curl his own fingers around it with a tight grip
"How about Will, short for William?" Envy said absently, staring at the baby in his arms with something akin to wonder in his eyes, Ed smiled and nodded, resting his head against Envy's shoulder
"William Elric, I like the sound of that," he said, then with a small yawn he fell asleep against Envy's shoulder who placed an arm around his waist and smiled happily as Will fell asleep in his arms as well
