I Want My Mommy

Chapter 23: A Happy Birthday

Many months had passed. Riza and Roy's relationships strengthen through time and it seems Roy was really serious on what he said. He really showed to Riza that she could trust him and he always made her feel so special. Riza felt happy during those months that she spent with him and Jun. She couldn't ask for more than this.

Before Riza knew it, Jun's birthday was fast approaching. She can't believe it's been months since Jun came to her and hugged her and called her his mommy. She smiled as the memory of that day came in her mind. She would never forget that, specially the day she decided to adopt Jun. The little boy really brought her joy through those months and she was glad she was able to make him happy too, that she was able to provide him what he had been searching for… a mother's love.

But she knew to herself that sometimes she can't stop feeling guilty when she thinks of it. Her conscience sometimes overcomes her and she feels so bad about it. She knew she can't hide the truth to him for a very long time. Someday she has to tell him.

She closed her eyes and shook her head so she could shrug off those thoughts then she looked at Jun who was busy reading "The Little Prince". She smiled at him then she closed her daily planner. Jun's birthday will be three days from now and she has been planning what to do for his birthday. She already invited people she knew. She started thinking that it won't look like a children's party because of the adults she invited.

"You're reading that book again?" Riza said as she sat down beside Jun on the carpeted floor. Jun looked at him with a smile then he nodded.

"I'm now on the last part, Mommy… I always feel sad whenever I read the part when the Little Prince is saying his farewell to Mr. Pilot… I always ask myself why they have to be separated…they were friends right? And when I look at this star here, I could feel Mr. Pilot's sadness. Mommy, can't we go to Africa? Let's go search for the "Little Prince" so if we ever find him, we can send Mr. Pilot a letter." Jun declared as he looked eagerly at her.

Riza just smiled at him. She really was happy of Jun's childish wonders and innocence about these things. But he was bound to be disappointed sometimes.

"I'm sorry Jun but we can't." Riza said as she gently ran her hand over Jun's head.

And as what she expected, Jun pouted. "But…" he started but he stopped then he looked at the book then at her.

"Mommy, we won't be separated right? We will stay together forever right?" Jun asked as he started standing up and giving his mommy a warm hug.

Riza hugged his son back. "Of course, we won't be separated."

"Promise?" Jun asked again.

"Yes, I promise." Riza assured him.

"Then let's make a pinky swear." Jun said as he showed his small pinky finger. Riza gladly let his son lock his pinky finger to her then he hugged her again and he kissed her on the cheeks. "I love you mommy."

"I love you too Jun." Riza replied as she hugged him tight. She was really feeling good but why is there another emotion that was trying to overcome her happiness now?

It was Riza's day off and she was glad that she was able to go out with her friend, Rebecca. They were able to invite Maria and Schiezka but because of their sudden busy schedule they weren't able to come today. She arrived with Jun on the usual spot where she and Rebecca always meet.

"Hey!" Rebecca said as she wave then she smiled at Jun. "Hey there little Jun, it's been a while since we saw each other. Aww… you're still so cute!" She declared cheerfully as she gave Jun a hug. Jun greeted her too and he returned her hug.

"So, where are we going?" the woman asked as they started walking on the street.

"To the usual place where we shop. " Riza answered. She decided to shop for some small gifts she wanted to give Jun and of course some things she needed for Jun's birthday tomorrow.

They went to different shops where Rebecca bought new clothes. She also bought some but they are for Jun. She was thinking of giving her son some new set of clothes for his birthday. After they visited the grocery store, they decided to eat lunch on a nearby restaurant.

"So, heard any news from your friend Winry?" Rebecca asked after she sipped on her glass of juice.

Riza raised an eyebrow as she looked at her friend. "Why do you ask?"

"I'm just curious. Havoc told me a very interesting story about the two of them." Rebecca answered.

Riza remembered that story too. She just heard the news from Havoc, that Edward kissed Winry when he was drunk and she confirmed it when Winry visited her the night before they have to leave Central. She and Edward haven't been speaking to each other since that incident happened. Winry came to her and started crying her heart out, not that she doesn't like or want Edward to kiss him. It's that he got to kiss her when he's drunk meaning he didn't mean it. That's why she was so upset. It's been months since that happened and she haven't heard anything from them yet.

"Winry haven't contacted me yet. I guess she's so busy in her family's automail shop. Edward hasn't been in Central too." Riza replied.

"Oh." Rebecca said curtly. "Do you think already went to…you know what." She said as she winked and smiled mischievously.

"Rebecca." Riza said then she sighed. "That kiss was just an accident, you know that."

"Big sister Winry and Big brother Edward love kissed too?" Jun suddenly said as he looked at them. "Just like what you and Mr. Firey are doing?"

Riza blushed as she heard Rebecca giggled. "Jun, it's rude to interrupt in to older people's conversation."

"Oh… I'm sorry mommy." Jun apologized as he looked at her.

"Come on, don't scold him." Rebecca said again as she laughed. "Tell me Jun; do you always see your mommy and uhm, Mr. Firey kissing?" She asked as she turned to Jun.

"Yes and they don't want to be disturbed." Jun told her.

"Jun." Riza said as she looked at her son. Jun just looked apologetically at her and he continued eating again.

Riza sighed and she glared at Rebecca when she heard her laugh again.

"What?" Rebecca said as she looked back at Riza. She stopped laughing now but amusement was still visible in her eyes.

"Whatever, Rebecca." Riza replied then she continued eating while trying to hide the blush on her face. She noticed Jun's face had a stain and she grabbed a napkin to wipe it off. That's when she heard Rebecca's voice again.

"I never knew I would see you with a child. I'm so used to you bringing and taking care of Black Hayate but now, you're taking care of a real child. I never saw you so motherly and dedicated." Rebecca said with a hint of seriousness in her voice.

Riza can't help but smile at her friend. "If you're jealous of me having a son, why don't you propose to Havoc?"

Rebecca choked on what she's drinking. "What?! What do you mean by that?!"

"Nothing." Riza said curtly as she sipped on her glass of juice. For the first time in their friendships' history, she made Rebecca shut up.

After they ate their lunch, they started going around the shops again and eventually, Rebecca bid them goodbye.

"Don't forget about tomorrow, okay?" Riza said to Rebecca. "And I think Havoc would be there too." she added just to tease her friend.

"Shut up Riza." Rebecca replied, annoyed.

Riza just laughed at her friend as she waved her goodbye.

"Do you want to go home now?" Riza asked Jun as they started walking. She was holding the things they bought on her other hand.

"No mommy, let's go to the park!" Jun said as he pulled his mommy towards the way that leads to the park. Riza followed her son as he leads the way. They arrived shortly in the park and once again, Riza was surprised when she saw someone familiar sitting on a bench.

"Hey!" Roy said as he waved his hand to them.

"Mr. Firey!" Jun said as he ran towards the man. Roy carried the boy in his arms then he kissed Riza on the cheeks when he walked beside her.

"What are you doing here?" Riza asked as she looked at him. "Don't you have work to do?"

"Well…" Roy started as he smiled sheepishly at her. "I just had a little break…"

Riza raised an eyebrow at him. "A little break, huh?" she said as she looked at his garments. He wasn't wearing his military uniform instead, he was wearing a simple polo shirt and slacks but he still looks so dashing on it.

Roy's smile widened. "Come on, Riza. I already finished with half of my work. I was just thinking of joining you here."

"Still, you haven't finished your work. How did you know that we are going here anyway?" Riza asked as they started walking.

"Hmm… Let's just say I had a feeling you'll be here." Roy said then he gave a meaningful smile to Jun.

Riza just sighed she knew something is going on here but she can't stop herself from smiling.

"So, are you already finished with shopping?" Roy asked as he looked at the bags Riza was carrying then he tried to get it from her but Riza refused.

"Yeah, I'm already finished with it and don't worry I can carry it myself." Riza said as she smiled at him.

Roy sighed this time as he looked at her. She really likes being though. He adjusted Jun on his arms then he reached for Riza's free hand and he intertwined their hands together. He was waiting for her to protest but he felt her hand relaxed on his and she even held his hand gently. This made him smile so wide.

After their little stroll in the park and some shops, Roy decided to go back to work also because of Riza's coaxing, but he never left them until he doesn't bought something for Jun yet. He saw Jun looking at a teddy bear on a shop's window so he bought it for him. He also said that he will give him another tomorrow.

That night, Riza and Jun were already on their bed. Jun was hugging the teddy bear Roy gave him and he was smiling as he was looking at it.

"You really like the teddy bear huh?" Riza said as she looked at Jun's smiling face.

"Yes, mommy. It's from da- I mean Mr. Firey. It's the first gift I ever received from him." Jun answered as he buried his face on the teddy bear's head.

"What do you want to name it?" Riza asked again as she touched the teddy bear's body. She knew that once you own a teddy bear or even dolls, you have to name it…well, according to her mother.

Jun became quiet as he thinks of what he was going to name his new teddy bear. Then he looked up to his mommy with a smile. "I will name him Rori."

"Rori?" Riza said. Bizarre name.

"Yes mommy!" Jun said as he smiled.

"Okay then. Welcome to the family, Rori." Riza said as she pat the teddy bear. Jun laughed and he hugged the bear tight. In a few minutes, he was fast asleep. Riza smiled at him as she ran her hand on his hair then she kissed his forehead.

She looked at the clock and it indicates 8:30 PM. In a few hours, it would be Jun's 6th birthday. She sat up and she went to her desk. She suddenly had the urge to write him a letter. She grabbed a pen and a paper from the drawer then she started writing.

Dear Jun, my little prince, Riza smiled at that term.

She knew she have to write everything…how much she love him…and everything about the truth. When she finished writing the letter, she started thinking that maybe she won't give the letter yet. She will wait till he's a lot older. She set the letter aside then she went to bed.

The next day, Jun really had a blast. His mommy's friends are there and even his friends, Allen, Aleck and Alesa whom he met in his great grandfather's villa and of course, Elicia and Selim were there (though there were being guarded by his bodyguards.). There were food, sweets he likes and a lot of gifts that came from his mommy, Mr. Firey and his mommy's friends and other people from the military. Everyone was really having a great time.

Even Winry, Edward and Alphonse were there. Mustang's crew kept on teasing the Ed and Winry when they arrived and a lot of people saw their hands intertwined on each other. Ed blushed a lot but he never let go of Winry's hand. The people there accepted the fact that they were now going out and they were happy for the two of them.

"Come play with me Jun." Alesa said as she grabbed his left hand but before she could take him to a corner, Elicia grabbed his right arm and pull him towards her.

"No she's going to play with me." Elicia stated.

"No, he will play with me." Alesa said as she frown at the new girl she just saw.

They started pulling Jun towards them. Jun looked at his older friends who were looking at him and they just laughed. Jun smiled weakly as he tried to please her two female friends.

"Jun!" he heard his mommy called. His friends automatically let go of him as he went towards the table. His friends followed him there too.

"It's time to blow the candles on your cake." Roy said as he carried Jun and put him on a chair. The guests gathered around the table and they were smiling at him.

Riza light the candle with some matchsticks (no, she wouldn't let Roy use alchemy just to light the small candles) then she looked at Jun. "Make a wish first."

Jun looked at the glowing candle then to his mommy. "I already got what I had been wishing for, mommy." he said with a smile.

Riza smiled back at him, realizing what he meant. "Then ask for another wish."

Jun stared at the candles once more as he was thinking of a better wish, then a smile curved his lips and she said out loud. "I wish my mommy and Mr. Firey would get married soon so I could finally call Mr. Firey 'daddy'." Then he blew the candles.

What came after is a deafening cheer from their friends and it made Roy and Riza blushed and they smiled, embarrassed at their comrades' cheers and laughter. Then all of them said happy birthday to the little boy who was laughing with them.

More foods were served and then Jun started opening his gifts. He got a lot of books and toys from his friends and mommy's friends. Then he got a hold of Mr. Firey's gift for him. He opened it excitedly and he smiled widely as he saw what the box contains. It's the biggest toy car he ever saw.

"Thank you Mr. Firey!" Jun said as he hugged him.

"You're welcome Jun." Roy replied.

Then he started opening the gift that came from his mommy. He smiled too when he saw what it is. It's a picture frame with a picture of him, his mommy and Mr. Firey. Then there was a small wooden box and when he wind it and opened its lid, it produced a very beautiful sound. It seems so familiar.

"It's the song you always sing to me." Riza said as she ruffled Jun's hair.

"That's why it's so familiar." Jun answered then he stood up to hug his mommy. "Thank you so much mommy."

"You're welcome." Riza said as she hugged him back.

More gifts were opened, more foods were eaten and when it's finally dark, their guests started bidding them goodbye. Jun thanked all of them, specially his friends. Alesa kissed him on the cheeks and even Elicia kissed him too. Roy was teasing him about it until he turned so red. Riza has to scold him to stop putting pressure to his son. Roy just laughed it off then he started helping her clean the messy place.

They were now in the kitchen and they were almost finished washing some plates when Roy started getting intimate with her again.

"What do you think about Jun's wish?" Roy asked as he was hugging her again.

"What about it?" Riza asked, trying hard not to blush and think much about it.

"How about making his wish come true?" Roy said as he kissed her cheeks.

Riza almost dropped the plate on her hands. She felt her cheeks warm up as blood rushed on her face.

"W-What are you saying?" Riza said with a shaking voice.

Roy tightened his grip on her waist. "You know what I meant."

A loud knock on the door disturbed them. Riza was a bit thankful to whoever person was that. She doesn't know what she's going to say if ever what she was thinking was right. Roy sighed as he let go of her and she saw that he was frowning when she turned to him.

Riza just smiled at him then she went to the living room to see who was knocking on their door. Jun was reading loudly as he was sitting on the floor. She could hear Black Hayate was barking at the door, indicating that whoever their guest is a stranger. She opened the door and she was greeted by a large middle-aged woman with a scowling face.

"Good evening, how may I help you?" Riza asked as she stared at the woman.

She saw someone move beside the scowling woman and she was surprised when the light from her house shone at that someone's face as she came nearer.

"Diana?" Riza said as she stared at the woman's face filled with fear and worry.
