Lumina- I certainly have a lot of reviews... You guys like the story that much? Thanks guys! It means a lot to me. Oh and everyone... As one of the reviewers pointed out, I made a teensy mistake about the pregnancy... Sorry everybody. And Lauren-loves-Ryuichi, thanks so much. I really appreciate it. As far as the baby goes, it could be Ed's, it could be Envy's. Make your predictions. Also, this chapter is short because I wrote it so fast... Because I have a request for my reviewers, or anyone reading this story for that matter. I already drew up a picture of the little kid, and I need somebody to color it for me. Yeah, that means you'll get to know whose it is, whether it's a boy or a girl, what it looks like, etc. So email me if you can! I'd really appreciate it!

Disclaimer- I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist. If I did, we'd have a million movies!

Chapter 6- Amethyst

For a few sad and lonely minutes, Winry locked herself in the bathroom, unsure of how she could possibly handle this situation. Would Ed blame her? But how could he? After all, it was his fault he always failed to use protection. Still, Winry somehow thought he'd blame her, and her alone.

Again, she had to get herself off the bathroom floor, but this time, she was unwilling to move.

For the extreme problem she had right now, she felt like sitting there and crying her eyes out. So far, she was doing a good job of it, even though she had to quiet herself down so Ed didn't hear her. He couldn't think something was wrong. She couldn't allow him to think something was wrong, couldn't let him see her like this, with her eyes all red and puffy, sniffles emitted from her quite freely as far as she was concerned.

She thought she heard a knock on the door when she finally slid up off the floor and leaned against the wall. "Winry?" Ed's voice entered. It was now that Winry wished she'd never met him, never said yes when he'd asked her out, but she had. "I'm just going out to get something quick before we leave. Is everything okay in there?"

"Yeah, it's... It's..." Winry just barely managed to hold off from crying. "I'm fine. You go do whatever. I can pack."

"Alright. See you later." Finally, the blond girl heard him walk away, open the door, and shut it again behind himself, right before she slid right back down onto the bathroom floor and began to sob into her arms again.

Again the train ride wasn't the best experience Winry had ever had in her life. Although Ed seemed to be enjoying himself a bit more than usual, she was still frightened to say anything, much less even give the impression she was pregnant at all.

"So, Winry..."

The voice made Winry bounce right back to her senses, away from that nightmarish world she'd locked herself in. Suprisingly, she was happy to hear him say her name, so she listened, intent on hearing what he had to say.

"There's something I've gotta ask you."

No. He couldn't have noticed she'd been in the bathroom so often lately. Or could he have? Well, that wasn't a good sign, but Winry tried her hardest not to seem anxious in the least little bit. Ed continued. "I..." The door flew open before the blond could finish. A Military Policeman pushed had pushed it open, and was now staring at the couple, and Ed was staring back, looking more than a little angry. "What now?"

"Mr. Elric sir, the L..."

"What the fuck does Mustang want?" Ed asked, already knowing what he would say without the MP finishing even a syllable.

"Not exactly sure, but he's requested to see you up in the front car." Ed flinched. Why would Roy be coming on a train to Resembool? Hadn't he ruined his life enough in the previous years Ed had served under him? Apparently not, Edward thought, as he stood up.

"Sorry Winry. I'll be back in a few minutes." Winry managed a smile and nodded, waving to him as he left. Finally, she was able to be in peace. She sat back, head pushed against the plush feeling seat, and tried her hardest to fall asleep. It wasn't very easy with everything stirring her mind around, all the worries filling it up. But she did her best, and eventually, drifted off.

---

"Alright, now what's this about?" Ed's fists slammed onto the seat as he sat across from Roy, an angry glint apparent in his eyes, and his tone of voice not exactly friendly. Currently, Edward Elric was a force to be reckoned with. "And why the hell would you be going all the way to Resembool? Some emergency call or something?" Roy Mustang had always been very patient with the Fullmetal Alchemist, as he was now.

"Fullmetal, you really should learn to treat your superiors with more respect than you are right now." Ed forced a growl down his throat, not to mention the lust to punch Roy square in the forehead. He hated it when people played mind games with him. "And yes, there was an emergency call from Resembool."

"Hold on, it wasn't from Al, was it?" Ed asked, now more worried than he'd been the whole day. Well, that was only if you subtracted the fact he'd been a bit concerned for Winry when she'd locked herself in the bathroom that morning. He'd heard her crying. The whole rest of the day he'd wondered exactly what was up with her, but she wasn't giving him anymore clues than she ever did.

"No, Ed, it wasn't from your brother. It was from a young girl named Nelly." Ed knew her. He could remember Nelly, one of his other childhood friends who'd grown up with him as well as a few others. "Apparently her livestock have been dissapearing over the past month, and she claims when she goes outside late at night to see if she can catch anyone, she always sees someone walking down the street. To make matters even more confusing, it's always someone different."

"So how does she figure that these people aren't just walking by?" Edward asked, now more intrigued by the situation at hand. It wasn't usual to see a lot of different people lining up in Resembool, so why would people start doing it now?

"I found that strange as well, but what's even more strange..." Roy paused, making eye contact with the young alchemist as he did so. "Is that all of the people had purple eyes."

Lumina- I know! You guys want a longer chapter and faster updates! I promise the next chapter will be way longer than this! And just to say it again... I need someone to color the picture of the kid, that is if anyone can. Otherwise I can probably just get one of my friends to do it. Reviews please. Oh yeah, and Envy is stalking around looking for a certain 'someone' just in case you peeps are confused. Later.
