-1A/N: hey people!

Up so soon? I am shocked.

Thank you, you guys for the reviews. I love you all!

Like I said last chapter if you want to draw a picture from a scene in this story just let me know and of course tell people where the scene is from.

And to the response to the question. A majority, ok everyone, voted for Al to die. Kinda harsh if you think about it. But hey that's your choice really. And I am still not saying why. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

The next few moments passed in a stunned silence. Then two things happened at that same time. The color drained from Roys face and Hughes let out a jubilant yell.

"You're what" Roy stammered.

"Pregnant Roy" Riza said.

Roy looked at Riza in silence and a stunned look. "Hughes will you stop that!" he yelled, at Hughes who was jumping around and exclaiming shouts of excitement in the background. (I could so picture that scene in my head right now.)

"But why? I'm happy for you two! You guys are going to be parents!" he exclaimed holding his hands out to Roy and Riza. His grin slowly faded as he looked into the grim faces of Roy Riza. "Aren't you?" he asked softly.

Roy and Riza shared a look. Then biting her lip and closing her eyes she slowly shook her head.

A silent gasp passed through Roys mouth and Hughes' eyes widened behind his glasses.

Hughes let his arms fall to the side "Your getting an abortion?" he asked.

Riza nodded not looking at any of them "I can't have a child right now. Especially with the possibility of a war breaking out. We'll get called in and what will happen then?"

She looked at Roy "I'm sorry" she said before turning around.

"Riza wait!" yelled Roy. "You can't do this! This is my child too!"

"I knew it!" Hughes exclaimed pointing at Roy.

Ignoring Hughes he walked over to Riza "You can't do something like this. I'll help through everything. I'll take full responsibility for it! Just please don't do this." he begged her.

Riza still didn't look at Roy when she said "Roy I never doubted for a second that you wouldn't help me, even if it wasn't your. But this isn't about that. It's about the fratnization law. We would both be court-martialed and maybe imprisoned."

"Riza, please. Don't do this." Roy said softly.

"I'm sorry Roy." Riza said shaking her head. And before Roy or Hughes could do or say anything else Riza turned away and ran.

"Roy as much as I hate to say this but she's right. The two of you can't really have kids right now. Besides the both of you being a part of the military you are both teenagers." Hughes said placing a hand on Roys shoulder.

"I just can't believe that Riza would do something like this." Roy said shock evident in his voice and his eyes on the ground.

"Come on. Let's go somewhere else" Hughes said tugging Roys arm forcing him to move.

Roy followed Hughes robotically. His eyes still glued to the ground and were glazed over, seeing pictures of a child that could never be.

Riza walked into the clinic and looked around. There were a few other women there and a nurse sitting at the desk.

"Ms. Rubenstein?" the nurse said looking up from a file.

A woman that looked like she was in her mid-thirties got up with her stomach sticking out slightly.

The nurse pointed towards the door. "The doctor will see you now."

The woman placed her hands on her stomach and began to tremble slightly. When she passed Riza she heard the woman say "Please forgive me for this baby." she was also getting an abortion.

"Can I help you miss?" the nurse said looking at Riza.

Gathering her courage she walked over to the front desk and whispered "I need to have a…" her throat closed up on the last word.

"Abortion?" the nurse finished for her with a comforting smile.

Biting her lip Riza nodded.

The nurse handed her some forms on a clipboard and a pen. "You need to fill these out and then I'll call you when it's your turn."

Nodding her thanks Riza took a seat and began to fill it out when the same door that the previous woman had gone through a different woman left it.

It was clear that she had been crying, she still was, she was pale and was shaking so much that if Riza didn't know any better then she would say that the woman was having a seizure.

All of a sudden the woman fell to her knees, threw back her head, and screamed bloody murder. She clutched her head and heaved great sobs.

Riza watched in amazement and her own heart going out to the woman.

A different nurse came up to her and lifted her by her arms and deposited her in a seat that was two chairs away from Riza.

Riza tried to start on the forms again but her hand was shaking too much. She placed her hands on her lap and will herself to calm down.

Where was her cool mask where she hid and kept her emotions in check? Something that she was trained to not let even the biggest surprise faze her?

Gone. It had flown out the window the moment she had saw the positive sign on the pregnancy test.

All of a sudden a pair of hands grabbed one of hers and held it. Her instincts kicked in and she reached for the gun she kept hidden when she was in public. Looking up she saw that it was the woman that had gone into hysteria. Her bloodshot eyes drilled into rizas.

"Were you raped?" rasped the woman.

Numbly all Riza could do as shake her head no.

Gripping her hand tighter the woman said through a hoarse voice "Then don't do it. I feel so empty inside. I feel like a murderer. I killed my child." she gave a great sob. "Don't do what I did. If you can support the child, or if you cant give it to someone who can, then please have it." she gave a great sob as she choked out "Maybe one day g-d can forgive me but I will never forgive myself" before letting go of Rizas hands and shifting back to her seat.

Riza after a moment turned her attention back to the forms.

A womans cry.

Her name was the first thing she had to fill out. She placed the pen on the line.

'Don't do it.'

Name:

'I killed my child'

Riza

'I feel so empty'

Hawkeye

'I will never forgive myself.'

Last menstrual cycle:

'Give the child to someone who can.'

May 3rd, 1888

'You can't do this! This is my child too!'

Reason for visit:

'Riza please don't do this.'

Abort-

The sound of a babys laugh turning into a scream that blended with her own.

She dropped the pen and the clipboard.

She feels the stares of everyone in the room on her. She doesn't care. She has to get as far away from this place of death as quickly as possible.

For her baby.

Her military training kicks in and she rips the first page of the forms from the clipboard that contained her name and handwriting.

She runs out of the building. She has to find Roy. She has to tell him. From the corner of her eye she sees the woman who convinced her smile.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roy tried to focus on the text in front oh him once more. The words kept blurring together. He felt a drop of water fall down his cheek.

He irritably wiped his eyes. He couldn't, wouldn't, cry. This was Rizas decision. It was her body and choice. And it didn't affect him in any way.

Only that it did.

It might be Rizas body but it was his child. He should have a say in the childs future.

Not that there is going to be a future for this child.

He sighed heavily and threw the book lightly to the side. He couldn't concentrate on it. Not with what was going on.

He should just go on with his life. Almost like discarding a piece of paper or throwing something away that he didn't need anymore.

But he couldn't help but think of the future he had thought of when he and Riza were first together, before they found out about the fratnization law, the picture he had painted out of a future. He and Riza married, with one or two children.

He ignored the pain in his heart as his mind unwillingly made a picture of the child.

Black hair with black or brown eyes or blonde haired with black or brown eyes. Or maybe from Rizas side of the family. Her father had had a light brown, almost yellow (I think I need to put up a neon sign here saying HINT BIG HINT HERE! at this little section of the chapter.) and Rizas grandfathers was even a light color then her fathers.

Forbid his child will have anything from his side, excluding his mother of course. Her Xingese qualities lived in him. He was rid of his father for good since he died and he most certainly did not need a reminder of him.

But his brother, sandy brown haired and green eyed, would be a welcome. Roy felt the familiar pang in his chest when he thought about his brother. Killed by the man who sired him.

Roy sighed. His brother would have loved being an uncle. Maes was a great friend, Roy sometimes even felt close enough to call him a brother in all but blood. But sometimes blood was more important.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Riza walked around endlessly trying to find Roy. She had looked at all the spots that he liked to hang out at and nothing. Not a sign of him anywhere!

She growled softly. She had something important to tell him damn it!

"Riza?" said a surprised voice behind her.

Whirling around she saw Maes there looking at her.

"Maes" she said warmly. He would know where Roy is.

"Did you…you know…do it?" he asked her.

Proudly she shook her head and said "I am going to have this baby."

Happiness lit up his face and he gathered her in a hug. "Great! Have you told Roy?" he asked a huge grin on his face.

Riza shook her head "I can't find him anywhere. Do you know where he is?" she asked him.

Nodding his head rapidly he grabbed her hand and began to run towards the building where he and Roy were sharing an apartment for the time being. "He is going to be so happy." Hughes exclaimed.

They had run to the apartment and Hughes quickly inserted the key into the lock and opened it and pushed her in.

She stumbled in and she saw Roy sitting on a couch in the living room. He looked up and startled slightly in surprise.

"Riza?" he intoned.

"Hey Roy." she said smiling slightly.

"Why…why are you here?" he asked.

"I changed my mind Roy. I'm going to have this baby." she said smiling brightly.

Roy looked stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on his face and he walked over to her and hugged her.

"Thank you." he whispered into her ear before kissing her.

Hughes peeked out from the doorway and grinned at the sight of the two making out. His eyes widened when things got a bit more heated and they moved to the bedroom.

'I don't think I need to see this.' he thought before leaving.

"I'm gonna be an uncle. I'm gonna be an uncle." he sang as he walked down the street with his hands in his pockets. But then he stopped cold when a thought hit him.

'How the hell are we going to do this? How are we going to hide this from the military?'

Thank goodness it's done. My fingers are practically bleeding. I got this idea for the chapter and I couldn't stop until the end. Ow!

On the other note I don't think that abortion or pregnancy tests were around those times but hey my story and this is an AU so why not?

And this question, I am going to repeat it until the chapter that what I ask happens…or I might forget to put it up.

Who do you want to die the most? Edward or Alphonse?

I have nothing more to say except leave your thoughts in a review.

This is Phoenix-Fire Power over and out.
