I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or the characters.

The Accident Chapter 21

It was the next day and Ed was coming out of his house with his dad following. They both got into the car and drove off. The two guys were looking at them from the van.

"Dam it! Doesn't that brat ever be alone?!" Said the driver.

"It doesn't matter we have to nab him regardless of what or the boss is going to have us tortured."

The driver started the car. "Will just have to follow him and make our move from there."

"I hope that therapeutic tea help calm your stomach last night. You didn't say anything to me this morning if you felt better at the breakfast table."

Ed looked at his father strange. "Dad…when do I have time to say too much in the morning, for some odd reason lately I've been stuffing my face with oatmeal and cereal. It's like as soon as I get up I'm starving." He looked at his dad sitting across from him in the back of the car. He smiled at him as things got quiet. He had to let his dad be concerned about him. He sighed as he looked to the floor and dropped his head. "It did help a lot last night because I didn't have any cramps before I went to bed."

"I'm glad it worked." Hoehenheim smiled with concerned.

Sometimes it was hard for Ed to accept his dad as his authority figure since he left him and Al alone. They pulled up in front of Central and they both got out. The black van pulled up down the street watching both of them go inside.

"I hope were not going to sit here all day and wait for them to come out of that place." The driver said.

"We got no choice but to wait. That's a high security place! They'll blast are asses before we make it out the front door." The other guy said.

The driver rolled his eyes. "I guess were going to have to wait."

Mustang was sitting at his desk when the Professor walked in. He looked up when he heard a knock. "Hi Professor, how's it going?"

"It's going fine." He smiled as he sat in front of Mustangs desk. "I have a question to ask."

"Ok."

"It's about Ed. He wasn't feeling too well last night and I was wondering if he was suffering from some sort of illness."

Mustang swallowed and sighed. "What makes you think he has some illness?"

"He had a real bad stomach ache last night. He said he was fine but it really bothered him."

Mustang stood up and quietly walked to the window. He sat down on the window seal facing the Professor. The Professor was waiting for the answer he was looking for.

"I don't believe Ed is suffering from any illness but he does…well maybe you should ask him."

"Ask him?"

"Yes, ask him."

"I hope it's nothing serious."

"It's better if you talk with him."

The Professor got up. "Ok, I will ask him." He smiled and left Mustangs office.

Ed had just finished watching Captain Gerald train some of the soldiers in the training courtyard. He walked back to his office and the Professor happened to see him and he asked to speak with him. They went in and Ed sat at his desk while the Professor pulled up a chair in front of his desk. "Ed I wanted to ask you about last night if you're feeling up to research today."

"Oh yeah I feel better."

"I was really worried about you and wondered if you made an appointment with the doctor about this."

Ed swallowed he didn't want to tell the Professor but he was going to find out about it sooner or later. "Professor I already know what my problem is."

"Ok, I'm very sorry if I'm intru…"

"No listen… you're going find out sooner or later."

The Professor looked at him confused. Ed got up and lean up against his other desk. Talking about being pregnant was a woman's job not a man's. The Professor was quiet as he waited for Ed to speak.

"The reason I was sick last night was because… I-I'm pregnant."

"Pregnant! H-How could that be? That's something that me and another group of men tried…"

"Professor…I heard about that. I also heard it didn't work."

"It's not that it didn't work, we just didn't finish what we started."

"It looks like someone is trying to finish what you started because I have no clue as in how this happen."

"I'm so sorry Ed I wish I had an answer for you but I don't."

Ed was upset. "That's what I've been looking for an answer that I don't have!" Ed came and stood in front of the Professor.

"Listen Ed I have some things I need to do. If you need to talk just let me know." He got up and patted his shoulder. "I have to run and do some things before we get together this afternoon." The Professor left with joy in his heart. Ed sat at his desk with his head in his hands questioning his nightmare. Wishing there was a way to get out of this.

"Fuehrer sir, did you want to see me." Riza saluted as she walked in Roy's office. He stood in front of his desk with his arms drape to his sides and both hands dressed in white gloves looking as sexy as ever in that uniform to Riza.

He smiled at her folding his arms. "At Ease Major, I just wanted to invite you over for dinner tonight at my house."

"I thought you called me in here for military business."

"It is…our business not military."

"I thought you were too busy for anything like that."

"You have to take some time out for fun. With all the crap that's been going on I think me and you deserve some fun." "Sure, what time?"

"Arrive between six and seven."

"Ok." She smiled as she left and closed the door biting her knuckles with excitement.

Ed went outside of Central Headquarters and sat on the bench.

The guy on the passenger side nudged the guy in the driver's seat of the black van. "Come on there's the brat let's get him."

Mustang came outside as the two guys got out the van. "Hey Fullmetal what are you up to?"

He sat up. "Nothing, I just had to tell the Professor about my pregnancy which was not thrilling."

Mustang sat next to him. "He asked me this morning if you were ok and he told me about last night. He thought you suffered from an illness but I told him no and to ask you."

Ed looked at him strange. "He never said anything about going to you."

"Maybe he didn't want to make it look like that I persuade him to ask you."

"Well what ever, I told him." He sighed.

"That's good now that's off your chest. I hope it makes you feel better."

"Feel better? What will make me feel better is finding out how I got like this in the first place."

"Maybe we should do an all out investigation on this."

Ed folded his arms. "Where are we going to look for clues at, my bedroom? I guarantee you there's nothing there."

Mustang looked at Ed curiously. "I don't know maybe the lab you fought that Chimera in will give us a clue. I don't have all the details but I want to discuss them with you later."

Ed was surprised, maybe he could find out how all this stuff happen he thought. Both men got up to go in the building and the two guys grabbed Ed from behind by his arms and pushed Mustang down on the ground. Mustang quickly got up and Ed elbowed both guys in the ribs and ran next to Roy. "Hey are you ok?" Asked Ed.

Roy looked at Ed worried. "Yeah what about you,"

"I'm fine."

The driver came running towards them and Roy snapped his fingers and his legs and everything started to catch fire. The guy on the passenger side was trying to put the flames out with his jacket. He gritted his teeth as he looked at Ed and Roy. "You bastards! What the hell kind of trick did you do!?"

"What the hell do you want with Ed?" Demanded Roy.

"That's none of your business!"

"I'm making it my business!" Yelled Roy.

"Then you can make this your business too!"

The guy waved his gun at Mustang and Ed got in the way and he fired. People started running and screaming and several military officers came storming out of Central Headquarters the guy tried to get away but the military seized him. Havoc and Hawkeye and Armstrong were looking at blood on the side walk where Mustang was on top of Ed covering him with blood on his uniform. Ed's clothes also had blood on them. Havoc Hawkeye and Armstrong immediately got to there attention.

Riza pulled Roy off of Ed as she held him in her lap with fear in her eyes and tears in her voice. "Fuehrer sir, answer me! Come on!" She patted his face.

Armstrong and Havoc looked at Ed immediately to see where the blood on his clothes was coming from.

"We better call an ambulance really quick." Havoc said.

Review please. Since I left a cliffy, I'll just give some previews for next time to cure all tantrums and death threats. " Ed calm down! Don't get upset like this!" "I can't help it Lydia! It's my fault!"
