Maes' Shocking Revelation and Breaking Water
After last chapter I'm feeling rather well about the future of my story, let's look at our check list, shall we? 1. Riza still has to drop the baby, 2. somehow gotta put a wicked part about Roy kickin the fuehrer's ass, & 3. haven't really thought about number 3 yet. Lol. It'll come sooner or later. Any way. ENJOY plz r&r! A bit of a spoiler in this one, but not too much.
Soon after Ed awoke from his unconscious state, Major Alex Louis Armstrong came rushing in the room,
"Sorry I'm late, but these kids are sneaky. They stuck me on the wrong train." He laughed. He turned serious when he saw Ed on the floor, "What happened to him?" He looked concerned.
Fuery replied, "We just got some shocking news."
"Yeah, seems our old buddy Mustang got lucky with our very own first lieutenant." Havoc smirked, but he quickly ran as he saw an enraged Hawkeye running towards him with her guns out.
Armstrong's eyes quickly filled with an expression of romance. Hearts fluttering in the background, he picked up Roy and Riza in a big bear hug.
"The best part is Riza's pregnant!" Maes stated with an overwhelming amount of glee in his voice, "Sooner or later they'll be a little bundle of joy like this, (shows pictures of Elisia), bouncing around their house.
This time Armstrong put Roy down, but he kept Riza and gave her yet another hug. When he let her go, she was red in the face, from not being able to breath and the embarrassment of being fully exploited by nearly everyone on the planet.
Maes sat down at one of the tables in the staff room and said, "Now onto more serious business," he picked up the files the group had stolen from the Fuehrer's office, "I see you've found out a lot of information on the Homunculi."
Armstrong looked a bit puzzled, but he decided this was a good time for a little sideshow to take place. With one quick movement, his shirt was gone revealing the pride of the Armstrong family line, their bodies. His body was muscle on top of muscle, "Do you need an Armstrong's assistance?" He asked in his normal heroic tone.
"Actually another alchemist wouldn't be bad to have in the crew. You could take the place of the Shrimp." Roy grinned a very toothy-grin at Ed.
Ed became enraged as usual and yelled, "You bastard, damn the day you become Fuehrer! Mustang, you'll pay for all the jokes, you'll pay!" Winry and Al were trying to keep him under control.
Mustang laughed and called him a Shrimp three times just to provoke him, since he couldn't get out of Al and Winry's grasps.
Riza cleared her throat, so they could get started on the information again.
A clearly still fuming Ed sat down to listen as Armstrong sat beside him.
"Well we picked up the files of all seven homunculi." Roy stated.
Maes picked up one of the files, but this file had no picture, it just said Pride, but after scrolling through the events of the past week or so, he remembered that name. That was the name that Lust called Bradley at the strip club. This was getting wickedly scary. He knew that if you knew too much about something it was bad for your health, but this had to be the worst thing to know. Bradley was a Homunculi.
Roy became worried about Maes' facial gestures, for he looked overwhelmed, "Maes what's wrong."
"Well I think you guys ought to know this, but it's dangerous to know, so if you don't want to know than I would leave this room." No one left, so he continued, "Bradley is a Homunculi. They call him Pride."
Ed was drinking a juice and he bluntly spit it out on the person closest to him, Roy.
"See I told you, you'd pay." Ed laughed.
A fuming Mustang drew his fingers into a snapping position, and Boom! The staff room was covered in suet along with the members of the office. Everyone gave Roy a disapproving shake of their heads, as Maes cleaned his glasses to continue, "Anyway this may come as a bit of a surprise, and I'm sure you want to warn everyone, but we're going to have to ride this out. We can't tell anyone about this. Otherwise it's our heads on golden platters handed directly to Bradley." They looked over the other files and discussed their plan of action.
"I say we all go on an ambush. The three alchemists can take out Pride while the rest of us go on an all out rampage on the other Homunculi." Havoc stated while taking long drags on a lit cigarette. Strangely enough, no one was minding him smoking.
Armstrong had to disagree, "But who will help Lieutenant Hawkeye stay out of harms way with the baby?"
"Leave it to me." Fuery stated.
"Kain, you're a radio communications officer, not a superhero." Havoc objected.
"I'm still a soldier though. Hawkeye and I can take down that Lust Lady you talk about all the time. I'm sure she's going to be there."
"Fine, Fuery you've got the job, but if you fail, I swear I'll skin you alive twice, once for Riza and the other for the baby. Got it?" Roy threatened.
He took in a big gulp, but said, "Yes, Sir."
"Thanks Kain." Hawkeye thanked.
"Al can take on Gluttony we need the muscle to muscle." Ed suggested.
"Where will this be taking place?" Falman asked.
"In the Fuehrer's compou…" Answered Roy.
A muffled "Roy," was heard coming out of Riza's mouth.
"Huh? What is it?" he asked in concern.
She gripped her stomach.
"Sir, I think her water just broke." Fuery interrupted.
"What?" He ruffled his hair with his hands. He was utterly surprised. (A/N: Wouldn't you be?)
Maes rushed over with a smile, "It's time we go to the hospital."
Armstrong picked Riza up quickly, but gently as he made his way outside.
Riza really did not like having so much attention drawn to her, but when you need it, you need it.
They were in the car as Havoc, the trusted speedster, speed down the road.
Upon reaching the hospital, Mustang brought her out of the car and carried her bridal style out towards the doors.
"Where did they get to?" Ed gruffed as the had just arrived. However he saw that the doors had just shut, so he figured that they went that way. He began marching towards that direction.
"Excuse me young man, but only family is allowed back there." The nurse piped.
"I'm-…their son…yeah their son." He started.
"Well I suppose you look old enough, how old are you ten?"
"FIFTEEN! For God sakes I'm not that short." He retorted.
"Edward let's not get fumed." Winry called back as she had already snuck Alphonse and herself back behind the doors.
She motioned for Ed to come, so he followed.
A/N: I had intended this chapter to be a lot longer, but I think that the next chapter will be pretty good, and I'm sorry for the long update. The next chapter, Oh the Intensity of Labor- Riza goes into Labor and we should take pity on Roy in the next chapter, Riza's gonna give him quite a beating. On the other hand I really wished it would've been longer, but I figured that I left it off at an O.K spot. R&R plz.
