A/N: At the end of this chapter, I'm going to answer my reviewer's questions and comments! Yay! Also, I am now officially allowed to wear my gi and hakama in kendo, I'm so happy! After receiving several baffling reviews, I got the sudden urge to update, which is why I have done this so quickly. Well, I'll talk more at the end A/N, now I bet you just want to read the next installment of this fic. So, with all due respect, here you go!

Disclaimer: I do not own FMA, nor will I ever. Sigh…

Riza lye in her and Roy's bed, thinking of nothing in particular. Rain pounded on the windows, as thunder cracked and lightening flashed in the distance. Her mind was blank, the world she had once known, orderly and formal in everything, was crumbling around her like stale blue cheese. The phone ringed, quivering slightly on the hook across the room. It rang several times, before switching to the answering machine. Riza didn't bother picking it up, she didn't think she could stand to talk to anyone yet.

"Roy Mustang, leave a message after the tone," came a dull voice that had played several times that day.

"Miss, Riza Hawkeye? This is your doctor; we have your test results, congratulations! It seems…" came another voice Riza didn't recognize. She buried her face in her pillow, blocking out the rest. She knew what they would say; she just couldn't bear to hear it. A small beeping noise came, signaling the message was over, and Riza's grasp on the plush pillow in front of her loosened. Summoning up her strength, she got up and pressed a button on the phone.

"You have 2 messages," there was a slight pause before the first one played, "Riza? Are you there? It's Gracia, it's been a day so I was just wondering if you got your test results, call me anytime, you can talk to me about anything, okay? Bye."

"You have deleted message one."

"Message two: Miss, Riza Hawkeye? This is your doctor," came the same voice from only seconds before. Riza stared at the machine, her mind a dull buzz. "…Congratulations!" she pressed another button.

"You have deleted message two. There are no more messages."

A crack of thunder, much closer and louder rumbled through the house unnervingly, breaking the silence for the tiniest of moments. Riza walked downstairs, her stomach growling loudly. She ate more than twice what she usually ate now, though she still felt sick and light headed. She picked up a wireless phone on the way down, punching in a few numbers.

"Hello, Gracia speaking," came a soft, kindly voice.

"Gracia, it's Hawkeye," Riza replied, straining to keep her voice level.

"Riza? So, what're the results?"

"…I'm not pregnant. It turned out I had a bad case of the stomach flue, so I'll go back to work tomorrow. I feel way better already, I just needed some medicine."

"Really? That's great, you should just try to be more careful in the future. You scared me half to death there for a minute, oh well, you'll have kids when you're ready."

"I…I hear the water boiling, I've got to go," Riza said, turning on the stove. She clicked a last button on the phone, hanging it up.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Get to work already!" Riza yelled the next day, as Hughes and Havoc continued to slack off. Undoubtedly talking about her, but Riza was trying to keep her yelling at a minimum today. Her head still pounded, but she was able to block it out by concentrating on her paper. Giving up, Riza got up to walk to lunch, trailing behind the others.

"Wow, someone's sure hungry," commented Hughes as he watched Riza wolfing down second helpings of everything. She looked up, blushing, her mind racing.

"Are you calling me fat? I've had the stomach flue, so I couldn't eat much of course I'm famished now," she said, glaring at him before going back for thirds.

"Hmm, well I was told to tell you that we've got field training today, seeing as you took yesterday off you didn't hear," he said, before heading back to the office. Riza choked on the bit of bread she was consuming, gulping down milk feverishly to dislodge it from her throat.

She ran to the bathroom, pulling a small bag from one of her pockets. She unzipped it and grabbed an aspirin from inside, swallowing it quickly before heading back. She prayed it would last her; her forehead was covered in cold sweat she had to wipe away every so often Her breathing was rough, and she still felt uncomfortably light headed. Half a day of paper work had wiped her out, Riza knew she couldn't keep it up much longer.

"Just an hour or two of running and climbing, nothing big, I can make it no problem," Riza told herself unconvincingly as she walked out of the building.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"You've all done well, all that's left is the firing range," called out an officer as Riza panted heavily. Like everyone else lined up there, she felt like any second now, she would simply die of exhaustion. Moving up to the front of the line, she pulled out her handguns, a slight pang of joy in her breast. No matter how bad she felt, she loved the firing range.

Holding them up, Riza finally felt the full affect of the aspirin wearing off. Her head swam, and her hands shook horribly, barely able to keep up her trusted pistol. She fired 3 shots, missing the target completely, before dropping her gun. Black clouded her view; she swayed from side to side struggling consciously to stay up. She heard several yells, stumbling as she was unable hold off the tiredness any longer. And everything was black
