Our Wish chapter 12
Roy put his shoes on and left the house. He got into the car as his driver took him to Central hospital. He sat in the back of the car with his legs crossed wondering how he broke his stitches. He hoped Ed wasn't trying to do anything stupid. He got to Ed's room and saw two security guards standing outside his door. He was about to approach the door when one of them stopped him. "What's going on?" Roy asked.
"Are you Roy Mustang?"
"Yes I am."
"Your not allowed to go in there."
"What are you talking about? I have every right to see Ed!"
"Dr. Elric said that you are not allowed to see him until you talk to him."
"This is great! I need permission to see my boyfriend now!"
"I'm just relaying the message but if you choose to not listen I will have to use excessive force!"
"I haven't done anything wrong!"
"Sorry but you have to get clearance through Dr. Elric first. This is a hospital sir and we have to go by procedure."
Dr Friar walked up to a heated Roy and other people looking. "Hey Roy I need for you to come with me to my office."
"Would you like to tell me what the hell is going on here!"
He touched his shoulder. "In my office we have a lot of people staring."
They went up to his office and Hohenheim was waiting inside. Roy walked in and confronted Hohenheim immediately. "What the hell do you think your doing putting security guards outside Ed's door, like I'm some god dam criminal!?"
Hohenheim stood up. "I have every right to do so! Look at this picture!"
Roy snatched the picture and opened it, he was angry. "This picture is nothing but some stupid paparazzi trying to make it look like I had something going on with this woman!"
"Would you two sit down for a moment so we can get some answers?"
Both men sat down. Hohenheim glared at Roy with anger. "Paparazzi?! It looks like somebody got caught in the act! That picture is what upset Ed!"
"I did not kiss this woman on purpose! I was out to lunch with my other officers and the lady in this picture is a waitress. She recognized me and kissed me out of nowhere."
Hohenheim laughed. "Yeah, right!"
"I'm not going to argue about this all night with you. That woman in the picture is an old girlfriend from long time ago. I have witnesses that were with me to prove what I said."
"They would cover for you within a heartbeat." Hohenheim made clear.
"You don't like me anyway and you would believe anything or anyone about me. I love Ed I wouldn't cheat on him!"
"Hmph! You are the prince of womanizing."
Roy gave him a cold stare. "Don't even talk about me womanizing when you and Dante were body snatchers! Taking over peoples bodies so you can live on!"
Hohenheim stood up he was outraged. "You shut your damn mouth! That is not to be discussed!"
"Stop this! This is a hospital! Not a fucking courtroom!" Dr. Frair yelled at both men.
Hohenheim sat down. Both men stopped talking. They never heard Dr. Frair get upset like that. "You two have some major issues between each other! It won't get solved by arguing! I wanted to find out about the picture not accuse anyone of anything! From hearing all this I have to believe what Roy says. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't do anything to upset Ed."
"No I wouldn't. What I don't understand is how he got the picture!"
"You just don't want to get caught."
"This has nothing to do with getting caught! I just said I didn't do this! Someone gave that picture to upset Ed and make me look like the bad person."
"Now it's a set up!"
"Hohenheim, could you think for once with your head, instead of accusing me! This is your son were talking about. You should be angry with the person who brought the picture to him. Evidentially they knew he was here in the hospital and they wanted to distress him."
"I agree with Roy. How did someone know that Ed was in the hospital?"
Those words did start to make sense to Hohenheim. "Well, I can't deny that it does sound suspicious, but that doesn't mean I trust you."
"You don't trust me anyway, but I'm not going to beg you to trust me. My relationship with Ed is none of your business! If Ed doesn't want to see me anymore then that's fine! But only on his terms not yours!"
"I don't see any problem with you seeing Ed and I think we should remove the security guards from the door."
"I don't want Roy upsetting my son. You saw how he was earlier."
"Hohenheim I only allowed the guards there because you wanted to find out the truth from Roy before he saw Ed. We can't have guards at his door unless Roy did something wrong. He didn't send the picture to Ed someone did this on purpose."
"Someone is trying to destroy my relationship with Ed." Said Roy suspiciously.
Hohenheim was quiet he didn't care about the relationship as long his son wasn't hurt.
"Who gave Ed the picture?" Asked Roy.
"The nurse didn't say and I really didn't ask her. I was more concerned about Ed then asking about the picture." Said Hoehenheim.
"Dr. Frair is Ed alright?"
"He couldn't breath and he broke a few of his stitches. I put his stitches back that he broke. I have him on oxygen for right now."
Roy folded his arms with a sigh. He was fine until the stress was now creeping back into his body like the first day when Ed was in the hospital. "Dr. Frair is it possible if I take Ed home."
Hohenheim thought he was kidding. "What!"
Dr. Frair looked at Roy surprised. "Roy, Ed's in no condition to go home."
Hohenheim looked at him. "Have you lost it!?"
"No I haven't lost it! I don't feel Ed's safe here."
"My son is safe here! We can put security at his door to make sure no one not authorized will go in."
"I don't trust that! Who ever it was didn't see Ed but manage to slip a picture of me to that nurse. I want to have a talk with the nurse and I want to see surveillance video of the hallway going back two hours ago."
"You can't just come in here and give orders like you're at Central Headquarters!"
"Hohenheim do you want Ed to have another set back or do you want to find out who gave him that photo. The person knew what they were doing."
"You should control the women that come after you." Hohenheim fussed.
"It's not my fault this happen! Whether you like it or not Ed is in no condition to be having set backs! That's why I want to take him home so he can have a nurse watch over him until he gets better."
"My son isn't going home! He's in no condition to step foot…"
Dr. Frair interrupted. "Dr. Elric, remember, Ed is my patient not yours. I think we should ask Ed if he wants to go home not make decisions for him. Realistically, I believe we should let him stay here and just have the room monitored for any suspicious activities."
Roy sighed. "That's what I'm afraid of."
"Are you saying you're afraid that someone will tell him or slip him another picture of you cheating?"
Roy got up. "Hohenheim you can go to hell! I'm not going to explain myself to any bastard that hates our relationship! Dr. Frair I want to see Ed! If I can't see him I will get a court order and prosecute this hospital for violation of my rights!"
Hohenheim fired at him standing up. "Don't you threaten this hospital! You wouldn't get any rights to see Ed! Who's going to give rights to a…"
"Doctor! That's enough!"
Roy ignored his remarks. "It's okay Dr. Frair My rights are violated because I'm seeing another man. But their not ignored when I'm not allowed to see my friend. You can threaten me with this bullshit about gay relationships but I have every right to see Ed because I haven't caused any trouble. Roy glared at the older man as he was standing. "If you would excuse me I'm going to see my boyfriend and lover whether you like it or not!"
Hohenheim was clenching both fists as he fumed about the way he said "lover" to him.
"Roy, don't go yet!" Dr. Frair said. "I'm not going to keep you from seeing Ed and I never was." He picked up the phone and dialed security. He hung up. "You can see Ed, I'll be down there soon."
Roy left and closed the door he was fed up with Ed's father and his nasty remarks. He alchemist massaged his left temple he started to feel a headache coming on. He should just ignore Hohenheim's remarks but he couldn't help it, he was sitting right in the room with the man. He was even more worried about Ed. Who would leave a paper like that, and do such a heartless thing. If I find out who did this they will answer to me! Roy got to the room and the security guards were gone. He walked in and saw Al sitting by his bed side. Ed was talking to him in his weak voice. Both young men saw Roy enter the room. "Hi Al, Ed," He said calmly. "I know what happen and there is an explanation for this."
Al got up and came across the room by the door. "I better go I've been here long enough and I'm pretty sure you two have some stuff to talk about."
"We do and I do want to tell you before you leave that the picture with me kissing another woman is a lie. I did not kiss her she forced a kissed on me out of nowhere when I was out to lunch with Hawkeye, Havoc, and Armstrong."
"Did you see someone with a camera?"
"No I didn't."
"It sounds like someone set you up." Said Al.
"Most likely, yes!"
"Who told you?"
"The doctor called and said that Ed broke his stitches and he wanted to see me. When I got here, security said I wasn't allowed to go in because your dad said I had to see him first."
"I'm sorry about my dad Roy he's being over protective and foolish."
"I just came from Dr. Frair office and had another round with Hohenheim. I wish he lay off of me. Your dad doesn't want me to see Ed."
"I-Ignore my stupid father!" Ed spoke hearing the conversation.
Roy and Al looked over at Ed and they could tell he was pissed off.
"Al, I'll talk to you about this later I don't want to…"
"No explanation for that. He's been through a lot today and I prefer that." Al said as he turned and waved goodbye to his weak brother.
Roy came and sat by the bed. He didn't kiss Ed because he wanted to explain about the picture. Roy looked at his lover he could tell that he was weak and fragile. He looked better yesterday then today. Ed looked at his man who seem tired and stressed. He didn't want to believe the picture. "You said… she forced a kiss on you? I should have been thinking Roy. Women do like to come after you. I was stupid to get upset for no reason." He said feeling bad.
Roy took his hand and held it. "I-I'm so sorry this caused you a set back. I-I didn't want this to happen. Someone deliberately did this to you, actually us. If you want to Ed I talk to the Doctor about taking you home and having a nurse come see you. I don't want you here if someone is going to cause problems for you to recover." Roy put his lovers hand down.
"You know me too well. You know my answer to that."
"I do, though, the doctor didn't recommend that. He said you're in no condition to leave."
Ed sighed. "That's always the answer."
"Yeah…and probably the best, I'm going to ask security to check outside you door more often. I don't want anymore problems or I'll be checking into the hospital."
"That's fine we can share rooms." Ed teased. Roy chuckled.
"Roy…please don't be sorry it's not your fault someone tried to use a picture to hurt us." Roy smiled at Ed. He was just hurt that someone tried to hurt his love. Later on Dr. Frair took the oxygen off before Roy left. Ed said he didn't need it anymore.

Later that evening after seven Havoc, Armstrong, Hawkeye were still in uniform having a drink in one of the bars, about a few blocks away from Central command. It had been a long busy day and work was over.
"I have a blind date tomorrow night." Smiled Havoc.
"I hope it doesn't end in a disaster like the last one." Hawkeye teased.
"Don't remind me. I felt embarrassed." Havoc pulled out his tape recorder that he accidently stuck in his pocket.
"Taping something?" Hawkeye said.
"I accidently stuck this in my pocket. I usually leave it at work."
They were there for almost an hour. Havoc got up and went to the bathroom. He went into one of the stalls. The two doctors walked in and were talking about Ed and Roy. "It will take a while for him to recover from that placenta incident. I glad I left it in on purpose. That Dr. Frair should have lost his job too. He's getting close to retirement." Dr. Phelps chuckled using the open stall.
"I can't stand those two freaks having a baby. I don't get how he got pregnant. They won't be having anymore." Dr. Jason said. Both men started laughing as they zipped up their pants and headed towards the sink to wash their hands.
"I don't understand how Hohenheim can be in the same room with his son. It makes me sick!" Dr. Phelps said in disgust.
"Well that picture I had taken caused a set back. His dad said he broke a few of his stitches."
"He won't be fucking anytime soon." Dr. Phelps said
The two men laughed again as they left the bathroom. Havoc came out of his stall he was sickened by what they said. He managed to get a look at the two men when he stood on the toilet seat. He heard what they were saying and he recorded mostly all on his tape recorder. "This is bad, poor Ed." He said as he left the bathroom.
