"Yes mom. I love you too. Tell dad 'Happy Fathers Day' for me. I love you too mom. Alright, I have to go. Yes, important State business…I'll talk to you later mom. Bye." Roy sighed as he hung up the phone, leaning back in his chair.
"Are you done wasting time sir? That paperwork's due in an hour."
He sighed as he laced his fingers behind his head and grinned, "You know what I want Hawkeye?"
"To finish that paperwork so you can start working on another promotion," she asked easily, focusing on the report in front of her.
"I want a family." He grinned as he imagined having little Roy's running around in a big grassy yard. "So on days like today, I can get calls from them wishing me a happy father's day." Riza stood up from her desk, aligning a stack of papers and walking the over to Mustang's desk. "It would be great to have little Mustang's running around the house. I'd teach them how to use alchemy and how to make flames. I can see them practicing in the back yard with their dad, a few flames going astray, setting the house on fire…"
"You know what I think sir?"
"What's that Hawkeye?"
"Before you can even consider having a family," she started, placing a stack of papers on his desk, "first you need to do this paperwork so you can become Furher. One goal at a time, but I promise you can tell me more about your dream family after you become Furher."
"Well," he paused as if really contemplating his Lieutenants offer, "I guess I can do that. It may take a while, so you'd better remember." She sighed, nodding her head, urging him to his work.
