Chapter Four: The Truth

"I ended up in jail. When I got out, I left for two years to find myself. When I returned, no one would recognize me as Riza Hawkeye. She had died in jail for stealing a car. She was not tough enough to survive jail. I got a place to stay at, but I needed a job. The church refused me. I started to cut myself in my shame. My own mother refused me. Then, I ran into Hohenheim who did know me. We were together for a few months and slept together. He left me for Trish, who used to be my best friend. The next day, I found out I was pregnant. I found a job in another town and moved to it. I tried to go to church, but again I was refused and chased out. I tried to go to another, but I was again chased. When I awoke one night, my water broke. I tried to walk to the hospital, but I made it to the church. Everyone wouldn't help me. Roy did. He stayed with me. It turned out he had been watching me for a long time. Then, I left you with my mother and joined the military," Riza recounted. Tim was silent.

"You were rescued by HIM!" Tim asked, yelling. Riza nodded.

"I was. I fell in love with him and we plan on getting married," Riza answered. Tim took a deep breath.

"He's an ass. God, who knows what he put you through. Did you sleep with him, too?" Tim fumed. Riza sighed. Tim was too grown up for his own good.

"No, I haven't. Yet. He didn't put me through any thing. God, Tim, if it weren't for him, you would be dead. Don't you see? I was going to die that night. Not only were you being born, but it was chilly that night. If it weren't for Roy, I wouldn't be here right now. I owe him my life and I love him," Riza snapped. "You are not my father and will never be. I'm your MOTHER. You have to listen to me."

"Why should I? You abandoned me." Riza rolled her eyes.

"I had no choice. I was going to go back for you, but no, you had to run away." Tim was silent. His mother did want him. She was coming back for him, but he ran away. Rejection. The only fear within him. There was a long-lasting silence between mother and son. Both speechless and having thoughts of the other hating. Finally Tim spoke.

"I missed you Mom," he said. Riza hugged him.

"I missed you, too. Why don't you come to dinner with Roy and me?" she asked. Tim's face was struck with disgust.

So Tim doesn't like Roy. Will he be able to get rid of him? Or will he finally accept Roy and Riza's love? Find out in the next chapters See ya - LadyKagome215
