Morning -- pretty much Mustang's whole posse...
Riza sighed.
She hadn't gotten much sleep after she'd been awoken early this morning. And she just knew this was going to be a hectic day, no matter how everyone else reacted to her little 'surprise.' But she collected herself anyway, and pushed open the door, Black Hayate at her heels.
Everyone looked up in greeting, just as they always did. But rather than turning back to their work as usual(or avoiding it), they stared at her in mild shock. Cain was the first to react.
"Ma'am, is that...?"
He trailed off, afraid the subject might be tender or unliked. But Riza just nodded somewhat tiredly, and gave him a bit of a smile. Reassured by her actions, Cain moved towards her, both interested in the small bundle in her arms, and wanting to help. Riza had never seemed so worn out before.
"May I--?
Cain reached out a hand, offering and asking at the same time, wondering all the while what holding the baby would feel like. And Riza complied, gently shifting the sleeping little girl from her own arms to Cain's, trusting him with her.
"But Riza, where...?"
"Her name's Jayde. Someone left her on my doorstep at three this morning sir. I had no choice but to bring her with me."
"Yes, of course..." Roy floundered a bit, unsure of what else to say. Riza Hawkeye, with a baby, was something he'd never thought he'd see. Riza sighed as she realized everyone was there that morning. Not only Roy and the usual four, but Ed, Al and Hughes as well. It was going to be one of those days...
owari
So now I've answered two questions: what Riza found, and who got baby Jayde.
saffiremoon21: Lookie! It's Riza who gets little Jayde. Isn't that fun? So you were actually right with your last guess. Yea you!
Marii: haha Yes, this is who gets her. I thought it'd be fun to make Riza a 'mommy,' since she has such a nice family already. Jayde will have lots of love.
