Parting Gift

Ed disappeared about three months ago. Though she never admitted it, Winry missed him sorely. Now that he was gone, she felt she'd been lying to everyone. A smile, a laugh, the illusion of her happiness, it was all a lie. At least Al's here people would say, to which she'd agree. Another lie. They said Alphonse was the only thing that they had to remind them of Ed.

That was wrong; Winry had something else.

Her hands lightly brushed her hardening stomach, the last thing Edward left in this world. His parting gift to her.
