When Roy Mustang had first heard news of the pregnancy, he had been dumbfounded.
HER? A mother? HIM? A father?
It was simply too bizzare a concept for his mind to grasp. So, for the next four months he happily spent his time in complete denial.
Riza was NOT pregnant. She was just gaining weight. End of story.
He would have been perfectly content to state completely oblivious for the rest of his life.
Riza apparently didn't feel the need to help him achieve that new goal and after several months she finally decided to shove reality in his face, also known as maternity leave forms.
It was then that the news finally sunk in.
SHE was PREGANT! With HIS child!
Roy sat in a near state of panic as he glance over the forms, images of doom flashing through his head at the thought of a child with such an insane heritage.
He was seriously complicating suicideā¦or at least moving to a new country without telling anyone or providing a forwarding address, when a line of text on the paper caught his attention.
She was requesting a twelve month leave of absence. A year long vacation from paper work.
Suddenly, a baby didn't sound that bad.
Grinning, he signed and initialed the paper as needed and demised Riza with a smile.
Once she was gone, he picked up a pen and fished out some paper and proceeded to write two letters.
The first was a Congratulation note addressed to Hawkeye.
The second was a Thank You note addressed to Fullmetal.
Note: Thanks for the spelling correction. And yes, Ed's the father. He's sending Fullmetal a thank you note because thanks to Ed knocking Riza up, he doesn't have to do paper work for a year.
