AN: Hey guys. I'm doing a time skip to two months later because I ran out of things to do...Things are starting to heat up now! Hehe. Well I don't own anything as you know. Thank you! Read and Review!
Two uneventful months went by. Ed whined about being in bed rest, while Roy spent time trying to keep him entertained and healthy. Roy had, of course, gotten Ed off of work for maternity leave already. Ed, already passed the sixth month mark was getting more and more emotional. This could have been due to the fact that he was barely getting any sleep, or maybe it was being stuck inside all day. All Roy knew was that he had to be on his toes around the blonde because one wrong word would have him throwing a temper tantrum, or balling his eyes out. It was now February and the snow on the ground was melted and the spring was on its way. This was bringing frequent rainstorms to Central making Ed think the weather was reflecting his mood. It was a particularly wet Friday evening when Ed and Roy, sitting in the bedroom, received a phone call. It was Roy who answered.
"Hello?...Yes Al here he is." Roy said handing the phone over to Ed. Ed took the phone eagerly.
"Al?...I'm surviving, about you?...Yeah what is it?...Really!...Oh wow Al that's great!... I'll see what I can do ok?...Bye bye." Ed's face was full of excitement as he hung up the phone and turned to Roy.
"What did he say that turned your mood so fast?" Roy inquired.
"Al and Winry are getting married!" Ed replied watching the onyx haired man's face turn to a look of joy.
"Ed that's great! When is it going to be?" Roy asked. Ed's face fell a little.
"Well…They wanted us to go down there to help them get ready and to just relax with them before their big day. They decided on March 1st. That's the thing…I'm stuck here." The younger man said, his voice trailing off.
"How about we go to the doctor and ask him if it would be ok for you to take a trip. Just as long as you were careful and not up a lot, you know?" Roy spoke softly trying to keep Ed from a breakdown.
"D-Do you think he'll say I can?" Ed asked the older alchemist. Roy swept Ed's straw colored hair from his face.
"I hope he will. And if you promise to be careful, I don't see why he shouldn't say its ok." Roy told the blonde. Ed laid his head on Roy's chest and both of their hands went to Ed's stomach. It had nearly doubled in size from two months ago. And about a month and a half ago, the child's kicks had begun to make it impossible for Ed to sleep more then half an hour at a time. So it wasn't long before the blonde's eyes closed and he tried to get some sleep.
"It's no use. I can't sleep with something kicking my kidney every fourteen seconds…"Ed said opening his eyes and looking up to his lover. Roy's hand moved and he moved so he was closer to the bulge.
"Why don't you let your daddy sleep? Are you that much Ed's kid that you are having temper tantrums before even having anything to be mad about?" Roy spoke in a babyish tone.
"Roy…When you were talking to it just now, it stopped kicking me." Ed told the older man looking down towards where he was.
"Oh really?" Roy said speaking more to Ed's stomach then to Ed himself. "Then I'll just have to keep talking here so that daddy can get some sleep…Is it that you know your other daddy's voice already?" Roy continued talking in an idiotic manner to Ed's stomach. But it worked and before Roy knew it, he looked up at the blonde and he was out like a light. The dark haired man quietly shifted back to the pillows and fell asleep as well.
Both men were awakened by the sunlight shining in on them. Roy got up and made a phone call to the hospital to make an appointment as Ed got ready. Roy laughed as he watched the straw haired man waddle to the door and get in the car. It was a short drive and they arrived on time for the appointment.
"So what seems to be the problem?" Dr. Okian asked when they had gotten back to the exam room. He gestured Ed to sit on the exam table and Roy sat in a chair next to it. Then Dr. Okian sat in his chair and picked up Ed's chart.
"Well, nothing actually. We were just looking for your approval on something." Roy said watching the doctor flip some pages on the chart.
"Well I'll see what I can do. What do you need?" he asked politely.
"Well you see,' Ed piped up,' my brother and his fiancé are getting married in Resembool. They wanted us down there to help them prepare and to see the ceremony. We were wondering if I was careful and didn't stress myself that much if I could be temporarily off bed rest for a while…" he finished with a hopeful tone. Dr. Okian looked over the charts again and then back at Ed.
"Have you been having any problems at all? No pain, no muscle contractions, anything like that?" he inquired.
"No I've been fine since I was put on bed rest. I mean the kicking keeps me awake sometimes but that's the most that happens." Ed replied. Dr. Okian nodded and closed the chart.
"Well I see no problem with it now. But you have to take it easy. No running around, no excessive stress. Get all the rest you can. If you do have a problem call me and I'll see whether or not you need the town's doctor or not. If you can do that then everything should be ok." He finished his sentence and stood up.
"Thank you doctor." Roy said looking to Ed whose face was lit up with joy. The two men went back to their car and Roy drove to the train station to get tickets for the next day. Then they went back to the house.
"Ed why don't you go upstairs and get in bed and rest. I have to go to headquarters to tell them I'll be leaving for a while tomorrow." Roy said in a calm voice. Ed nodded and waddled his way up the stairs. Roy watched his lover and when he turned the corner he went back out to the car and drove to headquarters. He explained to Hawkeye and she said she would handle it. After performing a few maintenance tasks to make sure everything was ready for his absence, he left again, driving back to his house and to his sleeping lover.
