Chapter 12-Who Rebecca?
(With the kids. And Riza.)
"Mommy I swear to you on Travis' life that It was not my fault." Ember said.
"Then explain to me how it is not your fault when clearly I have the letter that says it's your fault." Riza said, stopping on the middle of the sidewalk to look at her.
"Well I told her I didn't know the basics of alchemy. She said that she thinks I did hearing who my daddy was and to give it a try. She kept insisting I do it, then some kicks were making fun of me saying since my daddy is the Flame Alchemist, then surely I live up to his expectations. So I went up to the front of the class and tried basic alchemy and I failed. I failed so bad it smelled like a stink bomb. Everyone laughed, even the teacher. So the teacher went to her desk and I was putting my gloves on that daddy gave me for my birthday and right before she sat down I lit fire to her ass."
"Right. So how is it not your fault then?" Travis asked.
"Because it's not my fault that she laughed at me and cause me to light her ass up. Daddy always said burn your enemies."
"Well your father is an ass so stop listening to stuff like that. Besides I know he didn't mean literally. You're just lucky that your father is the Fuhrer of Amestris. Wait, where did you get the gloves from? I though I confiscated them from you?"
"Well-"
*Ring, Ring*
"Hello? Hi Rebecca. I'm on my way now. What? Of course you already know that. Tomorrow? What time? Sure why not? Ok see you tomorrow." Riza said hanging up her phone and looking back at Ember.
"Well?" She said.
"I found them."
"Ember."
"Daddy gave them to me."
"Ember."
"I bought them from a homeless guy."
"Ember!"
"Ok! I took them from your room in your top drawer where you keep all the stuff you take from us."
"What did I tell you about going through mommy's stuff?"
"Not to do it. I'm sorry." She said holding her hand down. Riza walked up to the front gate and up to the house.
"It's fine sweetheart just don't do it again." She said going through the door and into the house. "Your father will be very tired from work today so go easy on him ok?"
"Yes mommy." They both said. Ember walked upstairs and Travis looked at Riza.
"Mommy I never asked you cause I don't know what you're going to say but, do you like my haircut?"
"Of course it baby. I love it. You're my little boy." Riza said hugging him. "Now go get cleaned up for dinner."
"Ok mommy." He said running up the stairs. Riza walked to Roy's study room to see if he was there. 'Hopefully he's not too mad and I can still apologize for my behavior.'
"Damn! Why can't I figure this out? There has to be clues, hints or SOMETHING!" Roy said.
"Maybe there's something more to it this time than just old fashioned clues." Edward said.
"Maybe you're right. Or maybe you're not." he replied.
"Is there something I could possibly assist you two gentlemen with?" Riza asked walking into the study looking at the papers scattered everywhere. "Maybe I could do some research or something." She said picking up a sheet of paper.
"NO!" Roy said running over to her and snatching the paper from her. "I mean, you're already occupied with the kids, exams and even taking care of me. I wouldn't dare fill you with more work to do. I don't want to overwhelm you with nonchalant papers or research. Trust me, Fullmetal and I have it all under control." He said walking her out of the study.
"But when I overheard you two you said you didn't understand something. Or something about clues. I Roy Mustang, Do not think you have it. But anyway before I forget I just wanted to apologize to you for how I acted earlier. And yesterday."
"It's fine. No-"
"MOMMY! HELP! PLEASE HURRY!" Travis yelled.
"See? Kids." Roy said slamming the door quickly.
'That's was odd' Riza thought walking down the hallway to the kids room.
(Ed and Roy)
"What the hell do you mean you didn't tell her!" Ed shouted.
"Calm yourself Fullmetal. Besides I have my reasons." he responded.
"Like?"
"Would you tell Winry?"
"Hell NO!"
"Exactly." He said sitting down.
"Fuhrer that's COMPLETELY different you bastard! Winry has no association with the homunculus! She only associated with scar but that was in the past! Riza has! If something comes after you, it's going to come after her and more than likely your children. If you refuse to tell her than I will! I for one will not put her life on the line then later she decides to shoot me in the ass."
"Fullmetal. I'll tell you like I've told my most trusted subordinates. Do NOT tell her anything on the matter concerning the homunculus. THAT'S an order. If you decide against my order and tell her," He said walking over and standing in front of him. "I WILL obliterate your mind, soul and physical appearance. You wont have to worry about Winry sleeping with you again or not cause once I'm done with you she'll leave out the door."
Edward knew Roy was serious. He didn't dare disobey him.
"Bastard." He mumbled
"What time do you leave on your train tomorrow?"
"Noon."
"Good." Roy said. Edward left out of the office and down the stairs where he bumped into Riza.
"I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going." He said.
"Ed if something was wrong with Roy, or something dangerous was coming for him, Would you tell me?" She asked. Ed looked into the kitchen where the kids were arguing over the size of their plates.
"I'm in a little bit of a hurry so Could you please tell the kids I said 'Hello?'" He said walking out and closing the door. Then he came back in. "By the way, your husband is the most stubborn man on this planet! Sometimes I think he needs to be in a life or death situation so he can know not to put other peoples lives at stake!"
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Nothing. Goodnight, Riza." He said walking out.
'I'm going to find out. No matter what.'
Roy came running down the stairs and ran into the kitchen where Riza and the kids were eating.
"Oh yeah I smell one of my favorites!" He said sitting at the table. "Beef stew! Aww Riza you're the best." he finished saying when she put his bowl in front of him and watched as he dogged in.
"What awfully nice table manners you have." Ember said watching him catch every single drop in his mouth.
"Done!" He said.
"Wow new record daddy." She said.
"Record?"
"Yeah Travis is usually the one who finishes his food, especially beef stew, in 15 seconds. You finished in like 10 seconds. Congratulations fat-ass!" she said holding a stopwatch up.
"So how was the first day of school?"
'Boring." Travis said.
"I gave hemorrhoids to my teacher with alchemy."
"Alright!" Roy said giving her a high five then looked at Riza. "ugh...I mean you need to apologize to your teacher when you go back to school. Which is?..."
"She can't go back until NEXT Monday. They couldn't expel her since she's YOUR daughter. So they did the next best thing." Riza said.
"Well what do we do with her until she goes back? Because we both have things we have to attend to."
"You may disagree with my suggestion but Rebec-"
"OH HELL NO! NOT in a million years! It's one thing if my daughter grows up to be a gun loving lunatic, but I don't want her a gun loving, egotistical, always late, harped ass LUNATIC!"
"So I'm a lunatic?" Riza asked getting angry.
"A sexy lunatic."
"Fuck you."
"Sure, but we should really wait until the kids are sleep." He said smiling at her.
"I swear, you're something else Roy Mustang." She responded.
"Yeah, but together we're something crazy."
"So since I'm the crazy one, and you're something else, we have to be something crazy?"
"No it's cause I'm crazy in love with you." He said hugging her. "And there's something about me that makes you crazy in love with me." He finished, giving her a kiss on the lips.
"I love you, Mrs. Mustang."
"I love you, too, Mr. Mustang"
"Oh please GET A ROOM. Or better yet GO TO YOUR ROOM!" Ember shouted making throw up sounds.
"I'm sorry baby. I forgot that you were still here." Roy said looking embarrassed.
"well good thing I spoke up! The last thing I need is a mental image of your naked ass!"
"Ember! You know not to talk to adults like that! Especially to me or your father. Now you and your brother need to get ready for bed."
"Ok mommy." They both said walking up the stairs.
"I hate to admit it but Alex was right."
"Right about what?"
"That girl has a mouth like a sailor. But don't worry. Not for long. Because we're going to change that. She's going to be a clean mouth, six year old girl."
"I don't know where she gets her language from." Roy said standing up.
"You don't know huh?" Riza said mocking him. "I'll give you a hint. YOU!"
"Me! Impossible! You were the one that had them for 5 ye- um, you know what, she gets it from me. It's my fault and I'm Sorry."
'I thought so." She said walking away going up the stairs to their room. Roy followed and went to the kids room to see if they were already in the bed.
"Goodnight kids. I love you both so much." Roy whispered leaving the door cracked open just a little. Like always. He went into the bedroom him and Riza shared and saw her getting into the bed.
"Wow you change fast. In a hurry for something?" He grinned while stripping his clothes off, except his boxers, and got into the bed.
"Roy?"
"What?"
"Let's try this again. Roy?"
"Yes darling?"
'Much better. Seriously speaking, where are we going to take Ember until she goes back to school next week?" Riza asked pulling the covers over both of them.
"I don't know Riza."
"Maybe she could go to work with you again and hang around he office. Or with Fuery."
"No way. It's not safe for her to be there right now with me."
"Not safe?"
"Ugh, you know, with the paperwork needed to be done and the meetings I would have to attend to. Plus Fuery is leaving on the train tomorrow with Fullmetal."
"About that. Where are they going? Ed looked like he didn't even want to go. The look on poor Winry's face when he tell her he has to leave for a couple of days."
"He's on a secret mission that I can't tell you about. Sorry Riza, it's classified. I barely know anything about it."
"Well I came up with a suggestions so now it's your turn. You don't want Rebecca to watch her so what?" Riza said getting irritated.
"Ok, ok, ok fine. I will taker her with me tomorrow. Happy?"
'Much." Riza said turning over and going to sleep."
"Goodnight Hawkeye" Roy whispered chuckling to himself.
"Goodnight liar." She mumbled.
(Next morning)
Riza, Wake up. You have to take Ember to Rebecca's remember?"
"What time is it?" She asked yawning.
"Almost 11."
"ROY! How could you let me over sleep? Is Travis at least at school?"
"Me? How can you blame this on me? And no Travis is not at school."
"ROY!"
"WHAT?"
"MOMMY!" Travis shouted.
"DADDY!" Ember cried.
"TRAVIS!"
"EMBER!"
"RIZA!"
"MOMMY!"
"ROY!"
"DADDY!"
"RIZA! RIZA! RIZA! RIZA!"
"DAMMIT WHAT ROY!" Riza shouted. "Everybody shut UP and GET OUT so I can get ready before I decide to shoot each and everyone of you!" Everyone ran out of the room and Riza went to go shower. When she got out of the shower, she walked over to her closet and put on a blue skirt, just a little past her knees, a whit blouse, and white heels. She walked over to the mirror and grabbed her clip and clipped her hair up perfectly. "See, look how easy that was. And I didn't even have to threaten you to stay up this time." She smiled at her accomplished hair style. She left out of the room and went down the stairs.
"So are we all ready?" She asked only looking at Ember.
"Yup!"
"Where is your father?" She asked looking around. "And Your brother?"
"Daddy already left and took that little pansy you call Travis to school."
"Don't call your brother a pansy. After all, you and him ARE twins. So what goes around, comes around." Riza said walking out of the door laughing to herself.
"Are you sure that we're twins?"
"Yes I am."
"And you're sure he didn't get a sex change either? Because sometimes I believe we were honestly suppose to be sisters instead of brother and sister." Ember asked.
"Yes, I'm sure sweetheart." Riza sighed and got into the car. Ember got into the back seat and buckled herself in.
"So where are we off to mommy?" She asked while Riza started the car.
"To a friend of mine's house. She's going to watch you until your father picks you up from work. He's going to get you on his lunch break then take you back to his office. Her name is Rebecca."
"Oh yeah daddy told me about her this morning."
"And what exactly did he tell you?"
"He said that you and her were best friends and had completely different personalities."
"Such as?" Riza asked.
"That you are the dull version of Rebecca, who is energetic and always happy. And crazy."
"DULL?"
"Yup. he said you were like a pile of gray mushiness that once you went inside everything would be so boring because ever thing would be the same."
"Oh did he now?"
"Yup!" Ember replied feeling she did a honorable task by telling her what Roy said. "He told me this morning when we were waiting on you to get out the shower."
'Oh he's a real jerk face. What was that Ed calls him? Colonel Bastard. NO! Fuhrer Bastard! Asshole. I should snipe his ass.' Riza pulled up in the driveway of Rebecca's house. "We're here." She said getting out of the car and helping Ember out.
"Her house looks pretty!" Ember sighed.
"But you haven't even seen the inside yet."
"I'm also taking daddy's advice and judging the book by it's cover."
Riza's eyebrow twitched. 'Judge a book by it's cover, Ass.'
*DING DONG*
"Hi, Riza!" Rebecca shouted, hugging her.
"Rebecca."
"Hi Ms. Catalina." Ember butted in.
"Oh, it's Mrs. Catalina now." She said letting go of Riza.
"MRS?" Riza asked. "When were you going to tell me you were married? You didn't even mention that last time we talked."
"You should know I was in a hurry. Come inside slow-pokes!" She said moving aside so they could come in.
"Lovely place, Rebecca. I love it."
"Oh, Riza I don't go around calling you Elizabeth do I? No. So call me Cat."
"Cat? Whatever." Riza said standing next to the door.
"So Rebecca,"
"Who?"
"Rebecca."
"Who's Rebecca?"
"You are!"
"I'm what?"
"You're Rebecca!" Riza said irritated.
"No I'm Cat."
"Cat!"
"Yeah? Never mind, just call me Rebecca. Cat sounds too formal."
"Formal"
"Yeah formal."
"It's the name of a feline, Becca!"
"Fleas?"
"Becca, please, just give me 5 minutes or less of your time and I will be out of your hair."
"Ok. Whatcha need?"
"Would you babysit Ember for me? Until Roy comes to pick her up at his lunch break?"
"Sure. Having one extra kid to watch shouldn't be a problem."
"A extra?"
"Oh yeah I have a baby!" Rebecca said excited.
"When where you going to tell me this?"
"When we went out for drinks tonight. Plus we just ran into each other yesterday remember?"
"Right. So I need to get going."
"Ok Riza. If I need anything I will just give you a call." She said waving by to her. She closed the door and turned around. "Oh shit where did she go?"
-T.B.C
SO Rebecca has to watch Ember until Roy get her? How exciting. You might be wondering why Rebecca asks so slow. Don't worry it goes with her character in the near chapters. Least the next chapter we find out who her husband is. Me, personally I think Rebecca's crazy self is going to find out what's going on and tell Riza. She is crazy. I don't know. I'm just guessing. So thanks to all that review. New readers Please leave a review. It'll be worth it. Til next week!
-Shanator out!
