Disclaimer: I don't own FMA, but I do own my original characters and this story

Ya know, I went to put up this chapter and realized it was the last one before the Epilogue, I thought there was one more. After today my story will be complete.

The three years that Ed had remaining in the military seemed to fly past Roy, he was feeling old. It was a week from Calien's 19th birthday. Ed had asked her to marry him last year and of course she accepted. Maes had been right the whole time, he always did have a way with people. Ed had two weeks left as a dog of the military and it was three weeks until the wedding in Resembool. Calien was so excited, she couldn't wait to be Mrs.Edward Elric. Roy smiled to think of her, she was so beautiful and she had grown up to be strong, happy, and healthy just like he had promised her parents she would be. She would be discharged the same time that Ed was. The young couple would live mostly in Central, on the base so that Roy could be near his little girl, but during the summer they would stay in Resembool. It was rumored that Ed had rebuilt the house that he had burned when he was a child. Calien had insisted that Al always be near them also, and he agreed to travel with them.

The wedding was a week after Calien and Ed had been discharged from the military, Ed laughed as he called it the last time he would ever wear his uniform. Al, and Jean were in the wedding as well as Winry and Riza. Roy was happy and sad at the same time. He was so proud of the person that Calien had grown up to be, but it also meant that she was no longer his little girl. The tiny child who almost died in the hospital was now a strong woman who faced the world with courage. It was hard for him to imagine walking down the aisle with her and handing her over to Ed. Ed was a lot like James had been at that age, strong and ready to challenge anything, so full of life and promise. Roy smiled, Calien couldn't be marrying anybody better than Ed, he was perfect for her.

"Daddy, it's time!" Calien shouted as she came out of the bedroom in her wedding gown. She was beautiful.

She hugged Roy tightly, "thank you, Daddy...for everything...I love you so much," she whispered in his ear.

Ed was waiting for Calien at the end of the aisle, he was so nervous. Everyone he cared about was there, and Al was standing right behind him. Ed looked at his brother nevously, and Al smiled back at him. Everyone was happy today. The afternoon sun shone high in the deep blue sky of Resembool. Ed could feel that his mother was with him and that she was happy for him. The aisle was lined with soldiers from Central, they were there for Roy and Calien, it was a military wedding after all. Gracia was there with Elicia who was almost 10 years old now. Everyone wished Huges could be there, but his presense was also felt that day. Finally, Roy appeared with Calien next to him. Roy was in his usual uniform, but he looked better today than normal. Calien was beautiful as always. She looked like an angel in the long white dress, she smiled at Ed and he smiled back. As the girl and her father began the long walk up the aisle the soldiers saluted as Roy passed them. Finally, Roy took Calien's hand and put it in Ed's.

"Thank you, Sir," Ed said with a smile as he saluted Roy, Roy saluted back and smiled at him.

"I know she's in good hands, Ed..." He smiled at the young couple and took his seat next to Pinako. Soon the two were married and they kissed, everyone cheered. The joy that was shared by these people seemed to spread across the entire country. There was finally hope, and joy for Ed, Calien, and Al. The three of them had once been poor lost children, but now they had overcome all of the challenges and fulfilled their dreams. Ed's pain was gone for good now, and things would only get better.

THE END
