A week had passed since Denny's arrival at the ruins. He and Maria were making up for the lost time; they were absolutely inseparable.

One night, Denny was acting unusual, perhaps even apprehensive. More so than usual. Maria noticed this and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

"Something wrong, darling?" She asked softly. He nudged her arms away and kissed her tenderly.

"Maria…" he began. "Since you're technically not really in the military anymore…" He took her hands into his own and looked her in the eye. "Marry me."

She gasped. She knew this would probably happen sometime, but she really wasn't expecting it. It just seemed so…un-Dennylike to her.

"Denny, you know that I love you more than the world itself. But I don't have a life in Amestris anymore. Remember that I'm not in the military more because everyone thinks I'm dead. If they found out I was still alive, they would kill me. But…come with me to Xing. I'm going to be sent there once Mr. Fuu sends someone to get me. Come with me, Denny. I need you." She slid his hands down onto her swollen belly. "Our baby needs you."

He looked at her for a moment, then nodded and threw his arms around her. She grunted. "Ow." Denny smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry."

Maria smirked and kissed him passionately. He kissed her back, sliding his tongue into her mouth. He slid two fingers into the waistband of her linen skirt, but she pushed his hand away.

"Wait, darling. After the baby is born. THEN." She laughed and he smiled. Then, they went off to tell Armstrong and Breda that Denny was going to Xing.


Yes it was short. VERY Short. Aren't you glad that I'm cool?
