The Accident chapter 13

It was one hell of a morning with all these tests I had to take. How could something like this happen? I fell like I'm in a dream that I can't wake up from. There has got to be an answer to this pregnancy if, there is one. Ed was lying on the medical table waiting for the nurse to come back. I wonder what is this doctor is going to tell me. Maybe he'll tell me I'm not pregnant and the test got mixed up.

Silvia walked back in the room. "Mr. Elric you can put your other gown back on so nurse Lydia can take you back downstairs." "Ok." He spoke calmly. Good, that means he's through. Ed got up and put back on his maternity gown. Lydia came in with his wheel chair. "Hi Ed,"

"Hi Lydia," He said as he was pulling down his shirt. He got into the wheelchair.

"Dr. Reed told me that he'll come down later to discuss the test with you." Said Silvia.

Lydia took Ed back down stairs to his room and had his lunch waiting for him on his hospital tray. He got in the bed. "I thought you be hungry so I made sure you had lunch waiting for you."

"Thanks, I'm starved."

"So did everything go fine upstairs?"

Ed looked at her swallowing a piece of his sandwich." "I don't like lying on a table naked and someone looking down your throat and up your ass for six hours."

"You don't sound too happy about that, but remember he's here to help you."

"I wished you didn't leave me."

"So sorry Ed but he had other nurses, there was really no need for me to be up there."

"I know it just felt a little scary."

"Well I may have some good news for you." "Oh good, I hope it doesn't require any more doctors having me undress again."

"I can't promise you that but Dr. Lansdale said that he may let you go home later today."

"Yes! I'm finally out of here."

"Ed I hope you know you have to follow up with Dr. Reed and have the baby…"

He raised his voice a little. "Lydia, will you PLEASE not talk about any baby! Once Dr. Reed tells me about this entire test he's taken, it will be negative."

She folded her arms. "Ed I know you hate talking about this but it's nothing you can't avoid."

"Lydia I have a hard time digesting this so call pregnancy. When do you hear guys announcing their pregnant and jumping for joy?! They only jump for joy, when the wife or girlfriend is carrying their baby."

She giggled.

"What's so funny?"

"You're absolutely right it's not like that. I'm sorry Ed if I'm trying to get you to accept something that is impossible. But the truth will come out soon. I have some pills to pass out and patients to check up on. I'll talk later." She left out the room. Ed is right about any man being pregnant he wouldn't be jumping for joy. I can't blame him for feeling like this it's not normal for this to happen.

"I don't know why he was with the Fuehrer? He said they were attending to some personal matters." "Do you think they know?" Asked Donovan. "How the hell I should know! I couldn't get anything out of his blond sidekick. She just said it was some personal matters that they had to take care of." "What about our undercover agent?" Said Donovan. "He doesn't know no more than I know." "Well, just stay on it." "Yeah sure like white on rice." He hung up the phone. Professor Starks was getting frustrated with not knowing what was going on made him even more frustrated.

Ed was putting on his clothes when Lydia walked in the room with the release papers. "Ok Ed here's the papers for you to sign and then you can go home." "Thanks Lydia." He said as he signed the paper. "So who's taking you home?"

"Mustang is."

"Have you talked with Dr. Reed?"

"Not yet but he suppose to be down here before I go home."

"Hello!"

"Hi Dr. Reed I was just asking Ed about you."

"I just wanted to talk with Ed before he goes and it would be nice if you stayed and listened."

"Ok." She said taking a chair.

Ed sat on the bed dressed in his black pants and regular dark blue short sleeve shirt. "I know this should be good news about me being not pregnant."

"If you're wondering about not being pregnant…it's not true, you are pregnant."

Ed's expression went from a calm look to a disappointed look and Lydia noticed it all.

"Ed I'm sorry but the blood test shows you are pregnant."

"Dam it! There's no escaping this!" He said looking at the floor.

"Ed I'm sorry." Said Lydia feeling bad for him,

"Ed in the next five days I want you to come to my office and…"

"And what?!" Ed snapped. "So you can go up my ass again! Look Doc, I really don't feel fond of anyone looking at my ass or really going up there! I'm really worn out with all the probes going across my gut and all this other weird shit that I'm doing. Can't I see you in a month?"

Dr. Reed didn't like Ed's attitude. "Hell no! Edward, I'm sorry you feel this way but you are pregnant. So you better get use to all the probes and people looking up your ass all the time because we Doctors do have to make sure are patients are okay!"

"Are we done yet?"

"No, were not done! What I want you to do is, bring your girlfriend with you."

"What! Your kidding!"

"Edward I'm going to need blood from your girlfriend."

"But she doesn't know yet."

"You have to tell her."

"Why do you need her blood?"

"So we can find out if she's the one responsible for this."

"I doubt that very much."

Dr. Reed sat across from him. "I notice also from running test you might not carry the baby for nine months."

"Why is that Dr." Said Lydia.

"Well it has to do with Ed being a male. You may get as far as eight months and because you have a small waist line you may not show that much."

"I'm not that small!"

"Also when you do have this baby I have to cut open your stomach to do this."

He sighed stressfully. "I was wondering about that." Ed put his head down he was scared. Lydia got up and sat next to Ed and touched his shoulder. "Ed come on it's going to be ok. Your not in this alone."

He looked up at Lydia with frustration in his voice. "I can't do this! It's too much!"

"Ed it's going to be ok. I'll be with you."

"How Lydia, you have your job here nursing."

"Yes I do but before you were going to leave I was going to tell you that Fuehrer Mustang hired me as your private nurse to check on you every week to make sure you take care of yourself."

"He what, he didn't tell me anything!"

"You're not ok with that."

"Yes I am its just… father Fuehrer didn't discuss anything with me!"

"Did someone say my name?" Mustang spoke as he stood at the door.

Ed stood up and came over to the Roy. "Why the hell you didn't tell me I was going to have a nurse." "I was when I got here today! What crawled up your ass!?"

"You! And I wish you stay out of it!"

Lydia got up and got between them. "Ok you two, cut out this stupid nonsense. We have some serious matters that we are discussing and it doesn't involve two military officers arguing."

Mustang was quiet and Ed sat back on the bed.

"Ed I am your nurse and I'm going to be helping you get through this pregnancy and we need to find out what else Dr. Reed has to say."

"Anyway what I want you to do is take care of yourself and follow my instructions. Make sure you don't eat too much or eat too less. As the months go by your appetite will increase."

"His appetite is already at maximum and this is before he got pregnant."

Ed ignored him. "Dr. I have a question?"

"Yes."

"What can I do about this morning sickness? It's really hard to deal with."

"I can give you some nausea pills that won't harm the baby and try to avoid foods that make you sick. Anymore questions?"

"No."

"I almost forgot you will have mood swings." Said Dr. Reed.

"That's a normal thing for Ed." Mustang had to throw in.

"Go to hell!"

"See what I mean." Mustang mention sarcastically. Lydia sighed shaking her head.

"Yeah I will, ok bye." Al hung up and heard a key turn in the lock. "Brother!" Al knew Ed was coming home today. He came to the door quickly and was about to take Ed's small black bag as he was walking in but Ed hugged him hard as his bag fell to the floor. Al was surprised he did until he heard him speak. "I'm so glad I'm home Al. I hated there." "Come on brother the hospital wasn't all that bad." Ed looked him. "Al I've been there for almost a week! Do you realize all the test and shots I've had?"

"Sorry to break up the brotherly moment but are you ok Ed." Mustang questioned.

Ed picked up his bag. "I'm ok." He went in his room.

"Hi Al." Said Hawkeye and Roy. "Hi Riza, Mustang."

"Sir I'm going to go to the car."

"I'll be there in a minute. I need to speak with Ed." Mustang was sort of worried about Ed, he knocked on his door. He walked in and saw the alchemist wiping his eyes. He closed the door. "Are you ok Ed?"

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?"

"The way you hugged your brother was like you haven't seen him in two years. Are you crying?" Ed put his bag on the bed and took his clothes and other items out of it. "I'm glad to get away from the hospital and this bullshit about a baby is really getting on my nerves."

"I really don't want to believe it either. But if they say it's there it's…"

Ed threw his clothes in the drawer. "I don't give a dam what they say! I don't believe it! I know I fell strange and different but it still doesn't explain how it happened. I know having sex is the only way to get pregnant but if theirs another way, I like to know."

Mustang was confused himself. He didn't know what to tell Ed. "Ed only thing I could see is maybe either alchemy played a roll in this or someone did something and maybe you don't know about it." "Mustang, do I look stupid! Something like this shouldn't get passed my eyes without me knowing it."

"Ed, sometimes things do get passed our eyes without us knowing it. Hawkeye mention to me yesterday that it could be that someone could have done this to you."

Ed looked at him. "I'm very confused now, why would someone want me pregnant? What sort of idiotic bastard could be doing something like this? Is it revenge? Or because everyone knows about my famous reputation." "That's something I can't answer. Listen I'm going to go and I suggest you get some rest and tomorrow talk to your brother and Winry about this."

Ed smiled a little at Roy. "Mustang…thanks for the ride." Ed was thankful that Mustang was nice to him sometimes.

"Sure, will talk later." He said closing the door. Winry was coming up to the door as Mustang was about to leave. "Hi Fuehrer." "Hi Winry, Ed is in the room. I will see you guys around." Roy left.

Winry was excited that Ed was home. She knocked on the door and came in. Ed was sitting on the bed in his black boxers and black sleeveless shirt." She came over and hugged him. "Oh, Ed! I'm so glad your home!" She grabbed his lips with hers before he could say anything. They both let go of each other and sat on the bed. They both look at one another. "I missed you too." He said rubbing the end of her blond hair between his fingers.

"You feel better." She placed her hands on his stomach, He swallowed feeling nervous as he put his hand on top of hers. "Yeah I'm a little sore but it will pass." I hope this whole baby thing will pass too.

"Say, in the next few days, let's go to the fair that's in town. It will make you feel better after all that's happen." "Sure why not." Smiled Ed. "Are you ok Ed, you seem a little happy and a little down."

"I'm just tired from all the shots and test."

She got up. "Come on it's time for you to get in bed." She helped Ed get in bed and pulled the covers over him as she sat on the edge of the bed. "Thanks Winry."

"No problem." She smiled at her blond that she been after for so many years.

He looked at her. "Winry?"

"Yes."

"What would you do if we were having a baby?"

Winry sort of was blown away at what Ed said. "I don't know I guess I would have it and take care of it like any normal parent. I'm not pregnant Ed if you're asking me. Besides I don't think were ready for any babies. Unless you want to have a baby…"

He put his hands on her mouth. "No! I don't want any it's just a normal question, that's all." He laid back as he took his hands off her mouth.

"You're acting weird. Are you sure they didn't give you the wrong medicine."

&&&

It was a few days later. "Winry, I have something I have to tell you. Were going to have… little feet running around the house. No! Ok, I'm preg… I'm pregnant!" He said looking in his bedroom mirror. "No dam it I can't tell her that!" He started pacing. "Oh shit! Maybe I should take her to the park or maybe…"

"Maybe you should hurry up!" Said Winry with her arms folded.

"Ahh!!" Ed was holding his chest with the other hand on his dresser. "Don't scare me like that! I almost pissed on myself!"

"You should stop talking to yourself." He sighed as he sat on the bed. She came closer to him. "Ed, why are you sweating? Are you nervous?"

"No I'm fine." He swallowed.

"Well it's time to go. Al and Kira are waiting."

"Ok."

"Are you sure everything's fine? You seem worried."

"Don't worry about me Winry I'll be fine."

They both walked out in the living room. "Hey big brother here's my good friend Kira."

"Hey, I've seen your picture before. You're that guy some of the girls at school are talking about."

Ed had light pink under his eyes.

"You're the Fullmetal Alchemist!" She turned to Al. "You didn't tell me that this was your brother." Al looked at his brother and then shyly turned his head towards Kira. "I didn't want to say anything." Ed saw the look on his brother's face. "It's nice meeting you Kira. You know I prefer Al not to say anything to anyone at school and I prefer that you don't say anything either."

"Oh no I won't, it's just... I've heard so many girls talk about you."

"Are you a fan too?" Asked Winry.

"Not really I think he's handsome but he's too little for my taste."

Winry and Al started laughing and Ed was fuming. "What do you mean I'm…" Winry covered his mouth and dragged him out the house.

"Did I say something wrong?" "My brother gets upset when people call him short or little." "I'll remember to not say that to him." "Just ignore my brother." Al said as they left for the fair.

&&&

Roy was pacing the floor thinking of about Ed's pregnancy. How could something like this get passed Ed without him realizing this? Roy was thinking about what Ed said the other day about could it be revenge. Roy snickered. That's insane. Why would someone want revenge to get Ed pregnant? It can't be revenge because men don't get pregnant. Roy sighed as he sat at his desk. He picked up the picture of Ed and the four squads of soldiers he was in charge of. "How could this happen? Dam it I'm so clue less." He put the picture down and leaned back in his chair.

&&&

"That was fun!" Al said to Kira as they got off the bumper cars. Ed and Winry were getting off the merry-go-round and from a distant Al could tell Ed didn't look so good.

That's the end to this chapter. Here's a little preview of the next. "I thought you said you were going to tell them?" Lydia complained. "I am it's just… I can't think of the words." "What do you mean you can't think of the words?" "This isn't easy you know, Lydia!" Review please.
