Once again, I don't own these characters but they are so much fun to write with.
Winry was on the train watching the landscape turn from countryside to a more urban view. She almost five months along and she rubbed her growing belly. 'You get to hear Daddy soon. He's going to be excited to see you.' She thought. She felt the train slow down as it pulled into the station. 'I'm glad this worked out. A military ball is exciting to go to even if it's for Edward to make some connections for their alchemy books.'
Edward waited impatiently, trying to will the train to go faster. They had been apart for 2 months, and by now Winry should be showing because she was almost five months along. 'Finally!' he thought as the train came in and slowed to a stop. He watched as people disembarked until he saw he long locks of blond through the windows. He got closer to the train, and saw her. He immediately lowered his gaze to her protruding abdomen showing through her light blue dress. "Oh wow. You look incredible. Here let me get your bag." He grabbed her bag. She smiled at him, and they hugged each other once they were out of the way of other passengers getting off the train. When they broke apart, Edward put his hands on her belly. "Wow." He was so happy he couldn't find words to express it.
Winry said "Yep, there's definitely a baby there." They smiled at each other and hugged again.
"I missed you." Edward told her.
"Missed you too." She replied.
"So how was the train?" he asked.
"It was okay. I'm starving though." Winry rubbed her belly.
"Let's drop off your bag and go get some lunch. There's a good café across the street from the hotel." Edward got a cab for them.
"You know we can walk." Winry suggested.
"Are you kidding? I'm not making you walk to the hotel. Just get in." Edward argued. He was not having his pregnant wife walk to the hotel just to save a little money.
"Fine." She said. She was too hungry to argue.
Once they dropped off the bag at the hotel room, they went across the street to the café and ate lunch. "Mustang gave me today off but I will have to go in tomorrow for a little while."
"It's fine. I have to go buy a new dress. My other one doesn't fit right now. I might call Mrs. Hughes and see if she wants to join me." Winry said.
"She'll like that. Maybe we can visit her together while we're here." Edward said. They finished eating their meal, and the waitress came by to see if they were done.
Edward said they were but Winry spoke up. "Actually I want some ice cream." The waitress looked at Edward.
"Whatever the lady wants, she gets." Winry blushed. The waitress left to retrieve the dessert.
"So how have you been?" Edward asked her as he reached across the table and held her hand.
'He's being really affectionate.' Winry thought and then told him "I feel great. I have my energy back. I don't feel so tired. And I don't get nauseous anymore."
"Well you look great." He looked down at their hands. He still wasn't great with expressing these emotions.
"What about you? How was your trip? It sounded pretty amazing in your letters. And you have a nice tan." Winry admired his skin tone.
"Yeah, I got to go fishing recently. One of the larger boats caught a shark. It was huge! I got a picture with it. I'll show it to you later in the room." Edward was so excited.
"That does sound amazing." Winry said as her ice cream was delivered. The waitress brought 2 spoons. Winry ate the ice cream as they conversed. Winry was talking and suddenly stopped. "Edward quick, come sit next to me." She patted the seat next to her. He looked confused. "Hurry up!" She motioned even more. He moved to the seat next to her and she took his hand and laid it on her belly. "It's moving a lot."
Edward felt her skin move up and down as the baby was moving and kicking inside. He was in awe of the life they created. He didn't know what to say. He gasped as it kicked harder. "Oh Winry….. this is amazing."
"Yeah it is. I love this feeling." She sighed. "I think the train ride put it to sleep, but this ice cream probably woke it right up."
He kissed her on the cheek. "So it already has a sweet tooth, huh?" Edward said. They finished the ice cream and went up to their room to look at Edward's pictures of his recent trip, and to do a light tune up on his leg.
Edward and Winry went out for dinner and a movie later that night. It felt good to connect to each other again after being apart for so long. And they reconnected physically after getting back to the room. It started off as a kiss good night that developed into something more passionate. He wasn't sure if she was up for the whole thing. He kept his hands to the safe zones and kissed her neck. They were laying next to each other. She put her leg on the side of his hip to try to tell him she was up for more. He kept to the safe zones of rubbing her back and through her hair. 'He's so dense sometimes' she thought. She wanted more. She grabbed his throbbing erection. He moaned.
"Do you want to?" he asked her.
"Yeah. I've missed you. I've missed this." She stroked him up and down. Winry laid on her back and his hand went to her sex. He rubbed her clitoris and watched her throw her head back. He lightly sucked her nipple. He stuck his finger in her, and discovered she was soaking wet. He moved down to her body, kissing her and trying to show how much he missed her and loved her. His mouth blew on her opening and she shuttered. Edward spread her lips apart and plunged his tongue in and out and moving to her pleasure spot. He kept these motions up until she finally felt her release. Edward moved above her and kissed her tenderly on the mouth. He lined himself up at the entrance and slowly plunged in. He couldn't reach down to kiss her due to her recent development in her body. He had to keep his body up above hers. Winry started to match his rhythm and they both enjoyed being one with each other. Edward released himself into her and they lay next to each other in bliss.
The next night, they went to the ball. Edward had to zip up Winry's dark blue dress before heading out to join their friends. They sat at the same table as Roy and Riza, and a few others that were interested in Edward's research. Winry was popular among the female alchemists and the alchemist wives. Riza and her were sitting next to each other that evening taking a break from dancing and conversing with others. Winry noticed Riza kept looking at her pregnant belly. "Did you want to feel it? It's moving right now."
"Umm..sure." She reached hesitantly until Winry grabbed her hand and moved it the rest of the way onto her. Riza felt the rippling movements of the baby inside. She smiled warmly.
"You're in trouble", Edward told Roy, who were at the bar getting drinks.
"What makes you say that?" Roy replied. Edward pointed his drink to their wives.
"My wife is giving your wife some ideas." Roy looked over and realized what he meant. His eyes went wide. "Don't worry, it's not all bad. There are some positive sides to it."
"What do you mean?" Roy scowled.
"They like a lot of physical activity… you know, in the bedroom." Edward said trying not to blush because he was teasing Roy.
"Whatever." Roy walked towards to wives to break up any ideas that they may be sharing. Edward followed shortly after to have a final dance with his wife. It was a slow song, and they swayed back and forth. His hand went from her waist to her abdomen. She loved all the attention he was giving the baby even though it was still in her.
After getting back from the ball, Winry wanted him again even though she had him that morning. This time though she let him take her from behind. She knew it was going to be more comfortable this way in the coming months. "Woman, you have become insatiable," he said after they were done. He grinned at her.
"Well, you were gone for a long time. And it's not the same feeling when I have to do it myself." Winry said.
"Well, you don't have to worry about that for a while. You're stuck with me until this kid is born." Edward propped his elbow up so he could look down at her face.
"Speaking of this kid, we still need to figure out some names." Winry said. "Did you think of some boy names?"
"Right, I was thinking of Ben or Henry for a boy." Edward said.
"I like those. I like Ben the most." Winry said.
"Okay, did you come up with some for a girl?" Edward asked.
"Of course! I like Sophie or Lucy." Winry said.
"I like Lucy. It's kinda cute." Edward said.
"I was thinking of using my mom's name for her middle name. Is that okay?" Winry looked up with misty eyes.
Edward looked down with pity. He knew she was missing her mom more lately. "Of course it is. Sara is a good name. I think your mom would have liked that." Winry snuggled into him for comfort. Edward rubbed her back to soothe her grief some. Winry thanked him, and they got their sleep clothes back on.
