Before I continue with the story, I'd like to once again show how much of an asshole I can be. First, I'd like to thank all the dumb motherfuckers who've been reading this story. Your reviews keep my creative juices flowing. And if any of you are interested in a ScarxLust fic then I recommend Scar and Lust: Together Forever. Feel free to flame me, or hunt me down and kill me after reading and submitting a review to this chapter. Thank you.
Roy: You know, considering that they're the people who read this you shouldn't say those things about them.
Mr. Scarface: Shut up Mustang. Or else I won't put a lemon in any more chapters.
Riza: Please do! Even Gluttony is better sex than he is.
Mr. Scarface:Ooookay, that was a disturbing thougt right there. Riza, please refrain from telling us about your sexual life. Although I'm sure the thought of you naked does make some of our readers horny -points to C.A.M.E.O.1 and Only-, you and Gluttony together is just sickening. Now, on with the story!
Chapter Five
The next morning when I got to the office I sensed right away that something was wrong. But I didn't care. Today I would tell Riza that I loved her. I had the ring in my pocket and I couldn't help but smile.
"You look like you're in a good mood", Maes said to me.
"Never better", I replied.
When I walked into my office Riza wasn't there. Instead, a brunette was sitting in Riza's place.
"Where's Lt. Hawkeye?", I asked her.
"Haven't you heard?", the woman said. "She got transferred to Eastern".
Instantly my heart sank. She had seemed sad yesterday but I didn't press the issue.
"Who are you?".
"Lt. Col. Melissa Blake sir", the woman said standing up. "I'm your new aid".
Lt. Blake was a lot nicer than Riza it turned out. She gave me less work and didn't really mind if I slacked off. But I was going to miss the constant nagging and even the gunshots. Nobody could replace Riza. I looked over at the chair that I was so used to seeing her in. But instead, it was Lt. Blake. "I'll just have to get used to it", I thought to myself.
When the day was finally over me and the new Lt. were the only ones in the office. I remembered the night when I had been alone with Riza and I had made love to her for the first time.
"See you tomorrow sir", Lt. Blake said walking out the door.
Just like Riza had walked out on me. "Why?", I thought to myself, "why did she leave me?". I reached into my pocket and pulled out the box that contained the ring. I opened it. I tried to imagine how it would've looked on Riza's finger. I visualized us happily married, with children.
"I am in love with Riza Hawkeye", I said aloud, "and I can never have her".

"Welcome home Elizabeth", my father said when I arrived.
I hadn't been home in years. Not since I'd joined the military. "Nothings changed", I thought to myself has I looked around the mansion. I hadn't told my father yet. I didn't want to see how he'd react when I told him that I had fraternized and gotten pregnant.
"Thank you for letting me stay", I said to him.
"Nonsense", he said to me. "How could I not refuse my little girl?".
I half smiled at him. We hadn't parted on good terms and I expected him to be angry at me. I didn't even want to think how angry he'd be when he found out that I had had an affair with Roy Mustang. He was a general himself and had taught me all about loyalty and my duties has a soldier.
"When do I start work?", I asked him.
"Whenever you like", he said to me. "I can set you up has somebody's personal aid if you'd like".
"That would be fine", I said to him. "And father".
"Yes?", he said.
"I would", I hesitated before finishing. "I'd like to go back to using the family name".
My father looked at me before nodding his head. "Alright. Lt. Col. Elizabeth Harding, welcome to Eastern".
My first few days were hard. I didn't think that I would miss Roy this much. I missed the feel of his lips against mine and the warmth of his body. I often felt myself daydreaming about him during work. But worst of all, was that I was starting to show signs of pregnancy. I was having a harder time getting my clothes on and my appetite had increased noticeably. Nobody said anything, but I was still worried. I knew it wouldn't be long until someone found out.
"Elizabeth", my father said to me when I got home from work.
"Yes?", I said to him.
"Are you feeling alright?", he asked me.
"Of course why wouldn't I be", I said a little too quickly. He glanced at my stomach. "He knows", I thought to myself.
His gaze went back to my face and I braced myself for what I knew was coming. "How long have you known?", he asked me.
I let it all spill out. I told him about everything. I told him about the nights me and Roy had spent together, and the way he had made me feel. Surprisingly he took it pretty well. He didn't explode like I had expected he would. When I was done I looked shamefully at him. I was his only child and I had disgraced him.
"Well you're too far along to have an abortion", he said after a long, uncomfortable silence. "I'm sure we could find a nice family to—"
"No", I said sternly. "It's my child. I won't let somebody else raise it".
"You do realize what will happen if anybody finds out about this", my father said to me.
"I know", I said to him. "But I don't care".

I stared up at the ceiling. I hadn't even bothered to take off my uniform, I had just gotten into bed. My heartached for her, the one woman that I loved. It had been a week since she had left, and I hadn't been able to get her out of my mind. I had never gotten a chance to tell her that I loved her. It still puzzled me has to why she had left without saying goodbye. "Maybe she doesn't love you", a voice in my head said to me.
"No", I said aloud.
I refused to believe that. I knew Riza, she was devoted, and loyal to me. "Then why did she leave?".
Oh shit another short chapter. If you're lucky I just might write a long chapter if I'm in the mood. Anyway, you dumbasses know the drill. Read, click the submit review button, yell at me for calling you dumbasses and all that shit, and maybe tell me how crappy you think the story is.

P.S. And yes, I am a jerk –laughs maniacally and then lights up a crack pipe-
