In the first chapter, I meant to type that Hohenheim and Riza were together several weeks. - LadyKagome215

Chapter Three: Acceptance

Riza paused for a moment to think. She didn't know him from anywhere. He couldn't be her son. Roy had said that he would take care of finding Tim after confessing that he had been watching her when she was pregnant. "I don't know who you are," she answered his question. He had a quick and short look of hurt. Riza ignored it and walked into Roy's office. She gently pulled Tim to Roy. Roy looked at them for a moment.

"Hawkeye, that boy is someone you know. He's been missing for a while now. I got a call from Trisha saying that he stopped by," Roy started. Hawkeye stared at Tim in disbelief. He was her son. He had her eyes. Her blonde hair. Hohenheim's figure and built.

"I can't believe it. Why would you hunt me down? I left strict orders for your grandmother to raise you and never mention my name or who I was to you. I wanted you to live a life untainted by my past since I'm really as good as dead," Riza asked. Tim stood there in silence. He didn't know what to say. He thought she would welcome him with warm hugs and pleas for forgiveness. He could be wrong. Perhaps she can't show weakness in front of this Mustang fellow. Tim turned and ran. Riza started after him, but Roy stopped her.

"I'll get the guards to capture him and put him in a room," Roy said. Riza sighed, about to cry.

Tim fought the guards. He injured one, but another wrapped his muscled arms around Tim's body. Tim blacked out.

Riza left to her room with a headache. She had an argument with Havoc, who wanted her to get him some more smokes. She nearly killed him. Riza walked into her room and turned on the light. A scared Tim sat on the floor and an angry Roy sat on the bed.

"What happened?" she asked. Tim automatically flew to her arms. Riza hugged him.

"That man told me that you wanted me here, but I tried to get away. He shoved me to the ground," Tim started to cry, not caring that it was the first time he cried in front of someone. Riza lifted her head to Roy who just smiled and shrugged. She glared at him.

"I told him that he should hear his mother's side of the story," Roy said, getting up. "I'll be back in an hour for our dinner date." Roy kissed Riza. Tim narrowed his eyes and kicked Roy only to hit his shins. Roy's face showed only a quick pained look. Riza smiled. Roy just smirked and walked away. Riza shut the door and looked at Tim who had let go of his mother.

"Why are you with such a bastard? You couldn't possibly be in love with him," Tim started. Riza looked at him.

"That bastard is the man who delivered you. I love him. Even if I have to babysit him," Riza returned.

"He is so mean," Tim pointed out. "What is your side of the story anyways?"

"Roy isn't mean. I ran away right after my fourteenth birthday. My friends and I decided to join this gang. That all you need to know," Riza answered.

"Why won't you let me know? I'm your son," Tim asked. Riza sighed and looked at the ground, finding someway to tell him.

"You see…." she started.

I know, I know. A cliffhanger, well live it for now until I can get the next chapter up…I'm sorry for being so long, but I am busy. See ya later - LadyKagome215
