Gem: Sorry it took so long. My 'puter died so you get two for the price of one. I don't own anything.
Marie smiled when she peeked into the room Ed was occupying. That boy never got enough sleep. Motioning to her partner Denny, both entered the room. While Marie neatly stacked the papers, Denny hoisted Ed into his arms. Ed's eyes fluttered open briefly, just long enough to acknowledge both of them and then he fell back asleep. She watched Denny set Ed down in his quarters and smiled again. Ed may not have realized it but everyone in both Ed's unit and the other units were willing to give Ed a lift whenever he needed one.
Riza raised an eyebrow as she walked past her grandfather's office. Ed was sitting inside as Grunman yelled at someone over the phone.
"I DON'T CARE WHO STARTED IT! THE POOR KID ALREADY LOOKS UPSET ENOUGH!" With that said, Grunman slammed down the phone.
Riza watched her grandfather smile as he walked over to Ed and picked him up in the air. Riza hid a smile as Ed scowled slightly. Grunman spun around while still holding onto Ed and caught sight of Riza standing in the doorway.
"When are you and Roy going to marry and have kids?"
"Who says I need them when I have all the family I need here? And you already take to my boys so well."
Riza smiled as she watched Grunman spin Ed around again eliciting a smile from the boy. Apparently that was the lift he needed.
