Chapter 7
My baby's cries
Ayumi's POV
I'm looking out the window. My mother, Winry asleep. It was the day Kiyo died on 21 years ago when I was twelve. My mom never forgave my dad, Ed for killing him even though he was a homunculi.
"Ayumi, where's Kai and Kikino?" my mom asked. Kai was my youngest child and Kikino was his older sister. Kai was two and Kikino was four years old.
"Kai is taking his nap and Kikino is over at Freddy's house," I answered. My mom was close to death. Freddy is my cousin along with his twin, Teddy. They're around twenty-one or twenty-two. My aunt and uncle died on the same day Kiyo did. Kai walked in.
"Mommy, a man is on my glass box on my wall," Kai said. I walked with him back to his room. An action figure I once owned was sitting on the windowsill.
"Kai, it is just a doll. Go to sleepy land," I said as I sat him on his toddler bed. He was asleep in seconds. I brushed some of his hair out of his face as he slept. I heard someone crying. I rushed back to my mom's room. She was sitting up on her bed staring out the window at the rain.
"Kiyo's cry," she said.
"Why?" I asked. She looked at me. She was holding a picture of Kiyo before he was a homunculi and when he was eight or nine.
"He's crying tears of joy because I'm coming and tears of sorrow because he sees your children grow up and he will never meet them until they die," she answered. I was crying. Someone else was crying. It was Kai. I walked out and got him.
"Mommy, I'm scared," he said. He hugged me tightly like he was afraid to let go. I walked back into the room. My mom was still looking out the window.
"My baby's cries can be heard in the rain, like your baby's cries could be heard now," my mom said. That one quote inspired me to write a book, but for now I'll look out the window to try to hear Kiyo's tears.
"Mommy, I can feel someone's tears," Kai said. I realized that Kai's guardian angel was Kiyo. I could almost picture Kiyo in a white rob with golden armor underneath with a gold sword at his side. I sat Kai down next to my mom and walked out to grabbed a blank page from my ketch pad. I was a good artist. I quickly drew a sketch of an older Kiyo as the picture I saw in my mind. I colored it in for Kai. I was walking back the hallway when I heard Kai scream then cry. I ran back. My mom was on the bed. I tried to find here pulse, but she was dead. "Mommy," Kai said. He was holding the picture.
Three weeks later
Kikino, Kai, and me sat at a table in the church's lobby. Kai was crying. Kikino was quiet.
"Your husband is here," a voice said. I looked and saw my husband, Tony. He was Kikino's dad. He had felt bad and thought Kai was his, but was wrong. He married me after Kai was born.
"Mommy, can you draw me a picture of grandma?" Kai asked. I nodded. I had already seen the body. It was time to go see it be buried. She was buried beside Kiyo and my dad. Kai went to say a few words for my mom. "My gandma loved seeing me smile. This is my guardian angel and the man was my gandma's son," Kai said. He almost got grandma right while he was crying. He stopped to show something. He was showing the picture of Kiyo, the angel. The picture I had framed and hung on his wall was getting wet. He brought it with him. He started crying again as rain began to fall.
It's been five weeks since my mom's funeral. I had drew two pictures for Kai and gave him a picture. The pictures I drew were of his father who died in a war and his grandma, my mom. I gave him the picture of Kiyo. He treasured these items including the drawing called Kiyo, the angel. My book was published and was called My Baby's Cries by Ayumi Tenner. In the back of the book there is the picture, Kiyo, the angel. I'm the last one of the Elric family that lives in Resembool, Freddy and Teddy moved away. I'm also the last child alive of Edward Elric. Kai took the last name Elric instead of Gring.
"Mommy, grandma is crying with daddy and my angel!" Kai said as he came into the house library I was in. I looked out the window. It was raining. Kai climbed up onto my lap as we watched the rainfall. I looked down to see Kai crying. "Mommy, is daddy happy? Is grandma happy? Is my angel happy?" he asked.
"Daddy is crying tears of joy because his little boy is happy. Grandma is just happy that you are becoming a big strong boy. Your angel is you Uncle Kiyo and he's crying because he never got to say anything to you. The picture of the boy, I gave you, is your uncle," I answered. His golden hair, like Kiyo's wasn't brushed and was in a black baseball cap.
"Mommy, I love you," Kai said. He looked at the ground. "I want daddy to be here, too," he said. Tear came from his red eyes. He was sad and lonely. I hugged him.
"We'll see daddy someday," was all I could say.
