A/N: Sorry it took so long. Ok, so Hughes angst, and next Winry angst. No idea when I'm going to pot it though, it was written for someone but I'm not going to post it till they get back from their trip so I might not update for another week or so...
Disclaimer: Nope don't own'em

No one had known why Hughes had been such a doting father. Well, they knew that, but what they hadn't known was the reason for his obsession with pictures of his daughter. They never understood even after his funeral. No one understood, but Roy. He knew that the reason. He knew that Hughes had known that he could possibly die long before his daughter grew to an adult. He knew the reasons for the pictures, and the shoving. They were so people remembered him as a father, rather than just another military man who was killed in the line of duty. He knew that they were for his daughter, for Elysia, so she would know how much he had loved her that he hadn't wanted to leave. The pictures were a symbol of his love, and all who had seen them could not deny it.

No, no one knew the reason for the pictures till one day, a little 9 year old Elysia cried, "Daddy left me, because he didn't love me!"
