Final Months

I rolled over in the night, waking myself suddenly. I opened my eyes looking around for Roy but he wasn't there. I sat up gingerly in bed wondering whether he'd simply gone to the toilet or if he'd gone downstairs for something. However there was something in my head that didn't seem right. I could hear some soft murmurings from downstairs. I looked towards Hayate's basket. It was empty.

Confused slightly by the disappearance of my boyfriend, I swung my legs out from underneath the duvet and stood up. Where were they? I walked carefully onto the landing. It all seemed quiet here. I walked on trying not to make the floorboards creak but I couldn't really help it with my current weight. I made it to the top of the stairs. I looked down onto bright light. Roy was stood, dressed, with Hayate at his feet. In front of him stood George donning her military uniform, with fur collars and cuffs, with a brown bag by her feet. She was writing something in a small leather notebook.

"Anything else?" she asked. Roy thought for a moment before clicking his fingers like he remembered something important.

"Yeah," he said happily, "Remember to give Fullmetal abuse whenever he comes into the office."

"You have too much time on your hands," George retorted. She snapped the book shut, slipping it into her coat pocket. "Is that all, sir?"

"Yeah, I think so," Roy replied. George gave him a snappy salute to which Roy returned. George then patted Hayate on the head in a loving way.

"Good night, Miss Riza," she said suddenly with a grin on her face. Roy glanced round, his eyes almost immediately finding me.

"I thought you were in bed," he said.

"Sorry," I said, carefully walking down the stairs to the couple, "I woke up and you weren't there. Are you returning to Central?"

"Yeah," George said, "I suppose it is time that I got back there to sort out the mess Havoc's caused."

"That should keep you preoccupied for a while," Roy agreed. George held her hand out for me to shake. I took it. Her hands were surprisingly cold, like ice. She smiled warmly at me as she gently squeezed my hand.

"Take care of her, Mustang other wise I will shoot you," she warned, "It's been an honour."

"Take care of yourself," Roy replied. I nodded.

"Please phone if you have any trouble," I added. George only smiled.

"Hey if this guy could become a Colonel, then I think I can handle a few middle aged men," George said. Roy chuckled lightly. He put his arm round me and pulled me close to his body. George picked up her bag and turned towards the front door, pausing for a second.

"I'm sorry about your doctor," she said, "He was insane."

"Please don't worry about it," I replied, "He chose his own way. I guess things had been a little rough lately for him. It's a shame he killed himself before we could help him."

"Phone me when the baby's born," she stated before opening the door and disappearing into the night. I frowned. How come everyone seemed to be doing that to me at the moment? Roy shivered beside me.

"Are you cold?" I asked.

"No, I just got a chill up my spine," he replied with a smile, "Let's go back to bed."

He kissed the top of my head before leading me back upstairs to my bedroom, Hayate following shortly behind us.

The time to my due date seemed to tick by faster since George left. Roy and Fritz were forever busy keeping up with my needs. They didn't mind, or so they said. I felt guilty about making them run round like maniacs on a daily basis. At least the busy days were helping Roy sleep. Since George's departure he was forever worried about my safety especially when it came to strangers visiting the house.

A few weeks after George's departure there was a knock on the door. Roy and I were sat in the lounge at the time. Roy went to open the door for who ever it was only to be verbally attacked by Edward Elric. After a five-minute word fight they decided to sit with Al and I to talk about the Philosopher's Stone. They had given up on their search after finding that the key ingredient was in fact humans but they had new information about the people who had attacked them in Central all those months ago. Roy seemed interested in the information since these were the people responsible for the death of Maes. I watched Roy's facial expressions nervously.

"That's very interesting," he said finally once Ed had finished telling us about the people. Ed and Al looked at him strangely.

"That's it?" Ed asked. Roy blinked a few times.

"What do you mean?" Roy asked.

"We've finally found a lead on the people who murdered Hughes and all you can say is 'that's very interesting?" Ed yelled. I cringed in my seat. Roy didn't look impressed by Ed's outburst.

"If Riza gives birth to a deaf child, I'm blaming you," Roy said dryly, earning him a death glare from Ed.

"But Colonel," Al went on, "Surely you would love to investigate it yourself. You said you wanted to bring these people to justice."

Roy shook his head before holding a hand to his chin.

"Yeah if Hughes was really that important to you then you would be wanting to get a head start right now," Ed said. Roy frowned.

"I suppose it's pretty easy to go wherever you want to go whenever you want but if you two boys haven't noticed I have something rather important to do here," Roy replied, a bitter undertone in his voice. Ed had most definitely struck a nerve and stabbed it a few times. Both the brothers looked at him confused. Roy rubbed his head. "If I suddenly left here to pursue these people then Hughes would rise from his grave and kill me for leaving Riza alone in all of this."

Ed and Al turned their heads to look at me. I looked down at the carpet in front of me.

"I don't mind," I said. Roy shot a look at me.

"Well I do," he replied folding his arms, "It's taken me almost a decade to get where I am now. I'm going to try my best not to screw it up."

Ed blinked a few times.

"Where you are now?" he asked. Roy shot him a poisonous look.

"Yes," Roy said. Al looked confused while Ed looked disgusted. Roy stood up suddenly. "Not like that you pervert."

I laughed softly from my seat. Roy walked over to me and sat himself down next to me.

"Forget it," Roy went on, "I'm not leaving Riza."

"If you say so," Ed chimed in. I could feel how tense Roy was beside me.

"How's Winry?" I asked hoping to change the subject, however I only made things worse as Roy and Ed began to argue once again.

***

I leant back on the bed, exhausted by walking up the stairs. I was panting. I hated feeling so useless and out of breath all the time but I guess it meant the end was coming. I rolled onto my side looking at the clock on the bedside table. Outside it was cold. It was autumn already. How time flew. I was nearing the end of my time. Eight months I had carried this baby. I sighed deeply. Ed and Al had been involved in something big in Central but Roy wouldn't tell me. Since he and Ed had fallen out weeks ago he'd acted like he didn't care about Ed.

The weeks were becoming more and more like the same. I was getting bored of my time cooped up like this. I shouldn't complain because Roy was beside my almost twenty-four hours a day. It was just that as it came closer to the date I became a lot less able to do the things I would normally. It all seemed to catch up with so suddenly and it was pure torture for me.

Roy popped his head round the door.

"You need anything?" he asked. I shook my head in a perfectly miserable way. I heard him chuckle. He walked over to my bed, sitting down next to me. He stroked my hair before planting a light kiss on my head.

"I'm fed up," I stated, "I hate not being able to do the things I want."

Roy kissed my lips.

"What do you want to do?" he asked. I looked up at him.

"Walking up the stairs without getting out of breath would be nice," I replied, "Being able to move without something blocking me would also be appreciated."

He kissed me again. He didn't say anything as we parted. He went back to stroking my hair.

"Riza," he said, "I want to ask you something."

"What?" I asked, sitting up. Roy avoided my eyes, looking towards the clock instead.

"I've been dancing round an idea for a while now," he said.

"Roy," I said.

"I know, I know you hate it when I have an idea," he went on.

"Roy," I repeated.

"But I really want to –"

"Roy!" I shouted suddenly causing him to look at me. He blinked several times.

"What's wrong?" he asked after seeing the pained expression on my face. I felt tears fall down my cheeks. I couldn't speak. It took all my energy to stop myself from screaming. I put my hand on my stomach. I bit into my lip looking down at the bed. I looked back up at Roy only to find he was at the door shouting wildly for Fritz. I felt my arms get weak. I slumped onto the bed. My eyelids grew heavy. They began to close.

"Riza! Stay with me!" I heard Roy shout, his arms grabbing me tightly. It was the last thing I ever heard...

Sorry about the suddenness of this chapter's ending but I sort of got bored... Sorry for saying that but writing pregnant Riza was getting old. Hope you enjoyed it though!

Please read my other fanfics, I may have another one coming out soon *puppy dog eyes*
