Chapter 12

Days passed and all Winry could do was stay in bed, waiting waiting to regain strength. She worried about Edward because he was determined not to leave her side for more than a moment. She was confused, sights, things she never wanted to see again flashed before her mind, the image of Edward during the war, that terrible flash of shock that was displayed so easily on his face seemed too strong. She shifted uncomfertably but never spoke a word about the flash backs she was having.

By now Emily knew exactly what was going on. She knew what had happened, and why, and she knew…for now on it wasn't just her and Ed, it was Winry and Edward…and then Emily. The very thought of being thrown aside wrenched her stomache and pulled on her heart but she would never say anything, she had too much pride for that.

Edward saw that Winry's eyes were regaining color, the sweat that had been plastered to her for so long was beginning to disappear. All the while she slept in Edwards strong but gentle arms, knowing that everything would soon be ok. Edward soon felt it easier to leave her side, even if still for only a moment, but felt uneasy when ever she stirred from her sleep.

On the sixth day after the tranformation Edward walked into their room after a shower and his heart lurched, for there was no thin body under the covers, which were now made and ironed. He ran down the stairs scanning the area franticly for her, until he saw her laying elegantly across the coach. He moved swiftly to her side and kissed her fragile cold lips with ease.

"I see your doing better my love, but you startled me, far more than you can ever comprehend." he cooed unwaveringly.

"I'm sorry Ed I just had to get up, I feel so good…so different, but I love it, but most of all I love you." She whispered as she snuck closer into Edwards arms and tucked her head to his chest, just sitting there, just them…nothing else but them. That's how it would be forever thought winry…forever.

Edward took her sweet embrace and returned it with all the affection he had in him.

He swept her up off the couch and carried her into his study, he had work to finish, planning to do, but not without his sweet Winry by his side.
