I don't own Fullmetal alchemist or the characters.

Our Wish chapter 21

A/N: I'm really sorry about not updating. I've had some personal family issues but I'm getting back into the swing of things. I will try and bring out the next chapter hopefully no later than two weeks or less. Just to add I notice that my scene dividers go missing when I upload. I hope you guys don't get confused when the next scene happens. Anyway, it's time to read.

What does she want? If she's here to get her husband's job back, she can forget it! Hohenheim looked at the snobbish woman. "Vicky, if you're here to talk about your husband I can't help you."

"Yes you can! Get him out of that jail and say this is nonsense!"

"Nonsense! Have you lost it! My son is sick because of Phelps and your husband!"

"My husband isn't a murderer! He just…made a bad choice!"

"This isn't a bad choice! Laughing and joking about hurting my son, it was purposely done! If he didn't go to a doctor within two days! Do you realize I would be grieving right now! If it were your daughter, you would make sure that person pays! I thought Jason was my friend! He's not my friend to pull something like this!"

"This is just some misunderstanding he didn't commit any crime it was that Phelps doctor that did this!"

"So you're going to blame this all on Dr. Phelps and poor Jason is just innocent! What they did to my son is cruel and senseless! I went to see my son this morning and he was in tremendous pain. If he takes a turn for the worst and dies from this! I will make sure that Phelps and your husband never practice medicine or walk the streets of Central, again!"

She was cut deep by his words. "I see you're not going to be any help!"

"I wasn't going to help you! You dare ask for help with what your husband did to my son! Vicky, how stupid of you!"

"You and Roy's boy toy are going to be sorry that you filed charges against my husband!"

"I believe you better go before I have security throw you from the property. I have heard enough from you tonight!" He passed by her and went into his house.

"Damn!" She walked to her car angry, she just couldn't manipulate Hohenheim.

Roy walked in the room and saw an empty bed that his lover was supposed to be in. "Hmm…he must be with Tressa." He walked down the hall and saw Tressa walking his way. "Tressa where is Ed?"

"He's in his room."

"He's not there."

She looked at Roy worried and ran to the room. "Ed? Ed?" She looked in the bathroom and came out.

"Tressa, where is Ed? I thought you were keeping an eye on him?"

"Roy, I always keep an eye on him. It's not like him to disappear."

Roy sighed with worry. "Let's search the mansion and ask the servants if they've seen him."

"Why would he leave? He's in no condition to be on his own without his medication." She looked at her watch. "It's time for him to take his antibiotics right now. That's what I was coming to the room for."

Hearing that made Roy worry more about his lover, "I'll talk to the servants." Roy said leaving the room.

Roy asked his servants if they have seen Ed. None of them had any idea where he could be. Everyone went searching different parts of the mansion. Roy searched his bedroom and the other rooms. "Damn it Fullmetal, where did you go!" Roy went to his office and dialed security.

"Security,"

"Daren, its Roy, did you happen to see Ed leave?"

"No, I didn't see anyone come this way."

"Thanks." He hung up. "Think? Where could he have gone? Ughh! I hate it when he pulls shit like this!"

I went in this room with a table, the Sergeant told me to wait here. I had to see this bastard and confront him. I was in pain but not enough to where I couldn't stand it. I can't believe these two doctors! How dare they do something like this to me! Dr. Jason came in the room with chains between his ankles and his wrist handcuffed. I took pleasure in this scene as the two police officers sat him in the chair across from me. He gave me this look like what was I doing here.

"He's all yours Lieutenant Elric."

"Thank you." I'm glad that some of the police officers know me, or I would probably not be able to see him.

"Why the hell are you here! You want to gloat about what you see!"

"Come to gloat? Actually I would like to kick your ass for this! Since my painful condition won't allow it, I'll just take pleasure in watching you suffer in those chains."

"You're sick! How dare you get off on this!"

"And you call yourself a doctor! Your sick twisted game made me like this!"

"I heard you were sick. From looking at you, it seems you're getting around."

"I am sick you dumbass! I barely can get out of bed! It took a lot out of me to get in a cab and come down here!"

"I'm pretty sure your lover made sure I see the condition you're in!"

"He doesn't know I'm here!"

Jason was surprised that Roy didn't know.

"Roy is not important right now. I want to know why you did this to me!"

"Talk to my lawyer! I have nothing else to say! Or, listen to the tape of what your slutty boyfriend turned in! Guard!"

Ed gritted his teeth. "What a snobbish bastard you are! I hope they kick your ass and rape you in that cell!"

Jason was angry and tried to lunge at Ed but the guard that was coming in restrained him.

"Wait until I get out of…."

"Shut up! That's enough out of you!" The guard yelled as he pulled him.

Ed was sweating and rubbed his belly gently as he watched him get taken away.

"Lieutenant Sir, are you alright?" The other officer asked.

"Could you…call me a cab and get me…some water." He winced.

"Sure,"

I better get back home. I'm pretty sure they've discovered that I'm gone.

Tressa came into Roy's office. "Did you hear from Ed?"

"No. And no one has seen him."

"Maybe he went to see those two doctors."

"What a foolish mistake. I don't want him seeing those doctors. He's in no condition to talk with them. I better go check the jail house." Roy got up and the phone ringed. "Hello, Oh hi Daren, What?" Roy sighed. "That's great, I'll come outside." He hung up.

"Did he find anything?"

"Yeah, Ed was just dropped off up front. He's bringing him back here. Let's go meet him outside."

The two left the office quickly and went outside. Ed was sitting in a chair by the security booth. Roy came and picked up his love gently. Ed tried to say no but he was out numbered with the glares on Roy's and Tressa's faces. Roy took the blond back to his bed and gently sat him down. Tressa helped Ed take off his clothes and just his shirt and boxers was left on. She lifted his shirt to check his bandages.

Ed winced. "Oww!"

"Take a deep breath Ed I'm just checking for any infection. I'm going to give you your antibiotic and I will hold off on the pain medicine for fifteen minutes. Can you handle the pain just a little while?"

The alchemist nodded.

Roy was quiet as he sat on the bed and rubbed the sweat off his lovers face.

Ed looked at the both of them. "I'm sorry guys I didn't mean to make you worry."

Tressa folded her arms. "Yes you should be sorry! You scared the hell out of me and Roy!" She gave him his medicine and took his temperature.

"I agree…I had everyone here looking for you. Where did you go?"

He swallowed the pills. "Does it matter?"

"Did you go to the police station?" asked Roy.

Ed sighed. "Okay Roy I went to go see Dr. Jason."

"Stay away from him!"

"I had to confront him!"

"I understand your anger but I don't want you near those two. The last thing we need is for them to accuse us of something that could hurt our case. Did he hurt you?"

"He was going to but the guard stopped him."

Roy sighed. "This is why I didn't want you seeing him."

"I'll be back with some morphine." She said leaving.

Roy looked at him giving a slight smirk. He was glad his love was back home safe.
The blond alchemist looked into his eyes feeling bad that he made Roy worry. "I'm sorry Roy that I upset…"

Roy quickly kissed his lips, silencing anymore words. Roy gently pulled back. "Don't worry about it. Just, don't do it again."

"I won't." He smiled. "Roy?"

"Yeah,"

"I was trying to tell you that I'm sorry if I upset you and our baby." The alchemist laid his hand on the flame alchemist belly.

"Ed, I'm fine. There's nothing to worry about." He said laying his hand on top of Ed's hand. They shared another kiss.

The next day Vicky came with the lawyer that morning to talk in a private room at Central's jail house. The guard brought Dr. Jason in the door in handcuffs with a bruise below his left eye. The guard sat him down and took his handcuffs off his wrist.

Vicky looked at her husband worried. "Honey what happened?"

"I got into a fight with some idiot that said I was cute. He tried to hit on me!"

She turned to the lawyer. "We have to get my husband out of here! It's not fair..."

He interrupted. "Mrs. Cambridge you need to calm down. I'm here to help."

"This is that Elric bastard fault! Hoping that I get raped,"

"Honey, when did he say that?"

"Last night when he came by, he wanted to know why I did this to him."

"You see!" She looked at the lawyer. "We should have him arrested for harassing my husband. He must be well if he came down to this jail house."

"Not really Vicky." Dr. Jason sadly said.

She looked at her husband. "What are you saying?"

"As a doctor he looked pale and weak."

"Mr. Cambridge I'll make sure that he doesn't come back here anymore. Right now, let's stick with getting you out of here."

"When am I going to get out of here? I don't want to spend another night here with creeps and rapist!"

"Jason, I wanted to tell you first that I heard the audio tape. Second, I'm not for sure if the judge will set bail if, you're considered a risk to the community."

"A risk! I didn't kill anyone!"

"I understand but I will persuade the judge that you are not a risk factor. The medical exam board has brought charges against you. No other charges have been filed yet."

"Good, maybe Roy and Hohenheim listened to what I said and change their minds." She said snobbishly. "The less charges the better."

The lawyer looked at Vicky strangely. "Hold on one minute you talked to the people that filed charges against you."

"Yeah, they filed a complaint against my husband through the medical exam board. I told them that what they did is nonsense and my husband is innocent." "Vicky, if you're going to help. Don't talk to any of the people that are filing charges against your husband. They could use your words against you. Furthermore, listening to the audio tape could bring some prison time."

"Who side are you on, theirs or ours!" Jason questioned the man's words.

"I'm on your side but I can't lie to you! If you want someone else to represent you, then fine, any lawyer that represents you can't lie about the audio tape. I want to know did you talk with Dr. Phelps about doing this to Ed."

Jason didn't want to admit it but he had no choice.

"Yes."

"Maybe we can work out a plea deal." Said the lawyer.

"A plea deal! I want to get the fuck out of this place! Not say I'm guilty!"

"If you didn't do this then we have to have proof that wasn't your voice on the audio tape but since you did, we could say that your privacy was invaded. Later today I have to go over the medical report of the patient Edward Elric, I need to find out how bad is he."

"Do you think Ed will file charges?" Vicky said worried.

"When there is evidence of doctors talking about a patient that they screwed over, you better believe he will file charges. Also, if he dies, you and especially Phelps are going to be in more trouble. We're talking about years or maybe decades in prison,"

"Isn't there a way to coax the judge into believing I'm innocent?" Jason said wanting to get out of this.

"Jason, judges don't take bribes and I don't either. In an hour we have to go to an arraignment hearing to ask the judge to set bail."

"I want to know who was taping my husband voice?" said Vicky.

"That, I don't know but it may make a difference in this case, then, it may not."

"That's an invasion of privacy! No one has the right to tape my conversations!" He fussed.

"That's true, but it got taped because what you said was interesting to that person." The lawyer said.

Later that morning Roy was sitting in the chair at the computer thinking about his love and the first time they kissed. He looked at his office door daydreaming. He missed Ed coming in the office right after work ended. His smile would light up his face when he entered his office. He loved almost everything about his blond. His body his hair when it straddled his shoulders. Some days after work they would have heated sex and watch movies in bed.

Fullmetal I miss you coming in my office. I can't help but to think about you and the time we shared together. Just thinking about you makes me want to run home and hold you in my arms.

Roy rested his chin on his palms sighing about his love.

The door opened and closed as footsteps came into the office.

"Fuehrer sir, are you daydreaming again?" Hawkeye folded her arms as she approached his desk.

He took his chin out of his palms. "Oh…I…I'm sorry. My thoughts were captivated."

"I hope they were good thoughts. Anyway, I came to deliver a message from the General."

"What did he say?"

"He said your mom will be arriving later this afternoon or tonight."

"That's good." He said getting up to sit on the window seal.

"Sir is everything okay? I hope your mom isn't going to be a problem."

"I don't know. She may not react very well to my relationship with Ed."

"Sir, just tell her the truth. Didn't your dad accept it?"

"Yeah he did after he scolded me about how much trouble it's going to cause."

"He did?"

"Come on Hawkeye. This is the General were talking about. I figure he give me hell about this. But I was surprised at some of the things he said about this being an embarrassment as the Fuehrer."

"There isn't a lot you can do about it. People are going to have to accept it."

"My dad seems to be adjusting so far."

"How is Ed sir?"

"Weak and stubborn,"

"That's Ed for you."

"I know, anyway Hawkeye, my lawyer Ivy Mathews is on her way here to talk about defending Ed. Just send her in."

"Yes sir." She left.

"It's going to be okay Ed, Dr. Frair will soon be here."

"Please…don't call Roy. He'll just…get worried."

"Ed I can't leave him in the dark like this. You have a fever and the infection is bad."

"I-I…know…let's just…hear what the Doctor says first." He winced.

She wiped the sweat from his head. "Sorry about the pain medicine but Dr. Frair wants to look at the infection before he administers anymore pain medicine."

A knock came to the door.

"Come in." said Tressa.

Dr. Frair walked in looking at Ed as he approached the bed. Tressa got up off the bed and the doctor sat down on edge. The doctor lifted his shirt and blood was covering just about the entire bandage.

"This is not pretty."

Tressa pulled the large luggage of medical supplies from under the bed.

"Doctor, please…tell me…what's wrong? Is it really bad?"

"Listen Ed…"

"Doctor! Please…tell me the truth!"

"Ed, stay calm." She said wiping his head.

"Ed you have a very bad infection and you may have to go back to the hospital to take a special antibiotic." Said Dr. Frair.

The alchemist swallowed and sighed. "I can't take it here?"

"No. We have to monitor your vitals in the hospital. But first let's get this cleaned up and monitor the fever you have."

The alchemist spoke with tiredness. "Okay."

The doctor cut off the bandages.

"This is going to be uncomfortable Ed. So please try and handle the pain."

The doctor applied the medicine to the surgical areas.

"Ahh!" The alchemist yelled and jerked as he gripped the covers.

"It's okay Ed." Said the nurse as she held his shoulders down,

Ed took deep breathes. He winched hard. "Ow…Ah…it hurts!"

"I'm sorry Ed but it's really bad." Said the doctor,

The nurse wiped his head again. Ed lied there and dealt with the pain as much as he could. He thought about Roy, to keep his mind off the pain.

"Sir, your lawyer, Mrs. Ivy Mathews is here to see you." Hawkeye said as she walked in.

Roy looked up as he stood up. "Send her in."

A pretty slender medium size lady with light brown hair walked in dressed in a grey skirt, and a white shirt. She wore a grey jacket that matched her skirt. She carried a brown medium briefcase and wore glasses with a black frame. She was in her late twenties. She approached Roy with a hug.

"Hey my good friend," She said patting him on the back.

"It's good to see you, it's been a while." He said.

She smiled. "It sure has."

"Have a seat and let's get down to business." Roy said leading her to the couch.

"I wrote down some of what you told me the other day and I can't believe something like this happened to him. How's Ed doing? Is he getting better?"

Roy didn't know how to answer that. "He is…then some days it seems like he isn't. The toxic infection is causing him a lot of problems. A few days ago the surgical area really got infected. He suffered high fever and pain. Dr. Frair said if he was going to send him back to the hospital if the fever or the infection didn't stop."

"In other words he's really battling to get better."

"Yes. The doctor said it may take him two months to make a full recovery from this."

Ivy wrote down what Roy was saying in her big notepad.

"So is his fever down or is he in the hospital."

"He got better that same day. He's not in the hospital."

"I know we talked about the two doctors that caused this. I looked into the arrest warrants that were issued for both of them and they did arrest them. I also found out that today is an arraignment hearing for bail."

"WHAT! I can't believe this! Already!"

"Roy, if the judge feels that it's okay…"

"Okay! It's not okay! They shouldn't be on the streets! Both of them are a danger to the community!"

"Roy calm down. Neither one of them is innocent."

"Jason's wife sure didn't act like it."

"What are you talking about?"

"She had the gall to come by my office yesterday morning asking me to drop these ridiculous charges. She didn't have any sympathy for Ed nor was she apologetic! She just wanted to get her husband off! What she said really pissed me off! I told her to get out and not to come back!"

"First of all she shouldn't have stopped by. I'll get in contact with their lawyer and make it clear for them to stay away from you and Ed. If they come around we can file a restraining order to keep them away."

"I have a confession to make since were on the subject of them staying away from Ed. Ed went to the jail house last night and spoke with Dr. Jason."

"He what? I thought he was too sick to leave the house?"

"He is…he snuck out without anyone knowing."

"Roy, I don't want you or Ed visiting any of those doctors, it could hurt our case."

"I told him that last night and he apologized for leaving."

"Good. We don't want any problems. I like to go see Ed and talk with him."

"Sure."

The two left the office.

Tressa came into the room that Roy set up for her and the other nurse. "Doctor, is Ed going to be okay?"

"He may have to go back to the hospital. Right now we need to keep an eye on his fever and see how bad this infection gets. If the infection stays the same or worst, he has to go back to the hospital. I need to talk with Roy."

Roy and Ivy voices sounded in the hallway and Dr. Frair opened the door just in time to see them pass by.

"Roy, can you come in here?"

"Dr. Frair, good to see you. I was just about to go see Ed with his lawyer Ivy."

The two came into the room. "It's nice meeting you." He shook her hand.

"I need to talk to you about Ed."

"Okay." Said Roy.

To be continued.
