Week 16
"I know you two have been wondering what you were having for a while," Pinako said as she conducted the ultrasound. During the last pregnancy, Edward had opted to go to the doctor for an ultrasound. This time, they just stayed home with Pinako.
"We're crossing our fingers for a little girl," Ed commented. Winry almost laughed. Because it was her who wanted the girl, not Edward.
"Well, sorry to disappoint, because you're having another boy," Pinako replied with a laugh.
"You're forcing me to go through another Elric boy," Winry groaned out. "At least we already have everything we need for him."
"Except for a name," Ed mentioned. "What do you think we should name this little guy?"
"We can decide that later," Winry replied. "I just want to relax today. And I want to tell Ethan and Anthony that they're getting a new brother to teach."
"I don't understand why you keep telling them stuff when they're too young to understand you," Ed spoke. "It's not like they'll even remember any of this."
"I want them to be involved and talking to them is a good way to do that," Winry explained. "And I read in the baby book that if you talk to them more, they'll learn how to talk quicker."
"Well, then, I guess we'll just have to tell them all about their new baby brother," Ed responded. "Are you disappointed that we're not having a girl?"
"No," Winry answered. "We'll have other chances."
"You want to risk four kids?" Ed asked, raising his eyebrows. Winry had been hesitant when he mentioned another baby during her last pregnancy. Another kid meant four in total, and they would even be risking having another set of twins. Or worse; more than twins.
"Depends on how I feel," Winry replied. "Maybe I've got an open mind to a big family."
"We're gonna have kids coming out of our asses."
