The next chapter, finally. Yes, I do know it's short. Sorry. Do any of you know who the kid's nurse is? It may not be obvious mostly because no one's ever heard of the manga she's from, and I changed her name to what it means in English. Ummm, you don't get anything for winning, sorry, just the joy in knowing that you know a lot! Az4ever, thanks so much for being my beta and for letting me use your idea. And you already know who the nurse is, so don't tell people XDDD

London

Roy stared out the car window gloomily. It really is true. I don't recognize any of this at all. And to make matters worse, I'm married. When did this happen? And kids? I really can't believe this. Still, and he looked over at Hawkeye, who was driving on her insistence that he wasn't fit to, I guess I could have chosen worse. A lot worse. I do care about her, but I would never have thought that I would have loved her enough to marry her…

"Roy…" Riza's voice was soft. "Is something wrong?"

He wasn't sure what to say. "Uhm, well, I…I can't seem to remember things very well…"

"Maybe some rest will make it better," she said, her gaze flickering briefly over to his face. "You haven't been getting much sleep lately."

He nodded. "I'll be fine." But will I? I don't even know what I'm supposed to be doing! What am I going to do?

The car pulled to a stop in front of a large brick house. Two kids, a boy and a girl, burst out of the front door and started squealing excitedly. Roy thought that the girl was about nine, and the boy was around eight. Both had black hair. The girl had blue eyes, and, he noticed with surprise, the boy had the same red-brown eyes as Riza.

"Daddy! Mommy! You're home! I've been waiting forever! I'm so happy!" Her brother followed behind his sister, and Roy saw with some amusement that he was being literally dragged along by his excitable sister. The girl was covered with what looked like tree bark, and so was the boy. They were both absolutely filthy.

"What have you been doing?" asked Riza, exasperated. "And calm down, your dad isn't feeling well."

"Katherine thought she saw an odd-looking bird in a tree," said the boy solemnly. "But it turned out to be someone's old kite. But she had to climb up to see it, and she brought me along."

"What's wrong with Daddy?" asked Katherine, peering up into Roy's face. "He looks okay to me."

"He's just a little tired that's all," Riza told her distractedly. "Why do you have to go and get yourself into trouble all the time? And I thought Amber was supposed to be watching you."

A young woman, about in her early twenties, Roy would have guessed, with shoulder-length curly blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes stepped out from the open door.

"I'm so sorry! It's just that, I was wondering what was in the tree too, and I thought that it wouldn't be dangerous or anything. I thought that it would be okay. And they're not hurt. I'm sorry!"

She bowed her head, and looked like she was about to cry.

Riza sighed. "It's all right. Just be more careful next time. And you," she looked at Katherine, "Don't be dragging Maes into trouble with you. It'd be bad enough if you got hurt. It'd be even worse if you both did."

"Yes Mommy," said the girl. "But it did look like a bird! And I was just really curious to find out what it was."

Amber, still looking rather like a guilty dog, shushed her gently, and managed to herd the kids back into the house. Riza turned to face Roy.

"The scary thing is, that sounds just like something I would have done when I was her age. You sure you're okay? You look kind of pale…" her voice trailed off.

Despite himself, Roy had to smile. The thought of Riza as a nine year old climbing trees was an amusing one. "I'll be okay." he told her again.

Riza gave him a look that said, I don't believe you, then reached out to hold his hand. "I hope the kids are okay with Amber. She's so nice, but she really doesn't have very much common sense. And she's a terrible cook."

Roy, not knowing what else to say, murmured, "It'll be all right."

Thanks again to all my reviewers! Extra special thanks to az4ever for giving me her idea! If you like this, go read her doujinshi! It's posted on Royai Community and Deviantart, I think. If not, just let me know and I can send it to you. She's an awesome artist, you should see her drawings!
