This is one of BornOnTheBreakOfDawn's requests. This is also for Karina's birthday. Although it isn't so much of a birthday party thing and I'm responding to Midnight Hikari's question on chapter 11. Thank you for reviewing Midnight Hikari and AnimeFallingStar! Here's to you guys and BornOnTheBreakOfDawn. Hope you enjoy!


Born

Silly, just silly. The process of equivalent exchange sounded so unreal and dream-like.

'Place a hair in here.' The Invisible Guardian said. 'Eyelashes...tears...blood...' She wanted such irrelevant material! What would she do with all that? And to complete the process, a kiss at the end!

It all seemed so strange, but if I wanted to stay with Winry, I had to do what the Guardian ordered. Awkward and uncomfortable, we let our lips touch and a few moments later, the pot the Guardian had forged from the earth began to glow. She clapped her hands and recited the ritual for alchemy.

'On this day, September 12th, 1921,

Thou shalt appear before thee...'

A light shined on us when she finished. I just never expected for her to hand us a child! So this was our price to pay. To remain in our world, Winry and I would have to be parents to this baby.

'Don't think of her as a task, but as your child; a blessing of God; a person with feelings and needs...'

So all the things we had placed in the pot were for her, our creation. Karina. It will be an honor to raise her with Winry.


Does this clear any concerns about this kid's birth? I'm saving you all the time of reading LAOS. I hope you all liked. R/R,plz! Support is love!
