Hi guys! Ugh, finally the day is over, I was highly anticipating it to be honest . Two hours exam, wrote about 800 words...the limit was about 600 words...well...let's just say I panicked for a moment and quickly deleted a few paragraphs and had to rewrite most of my work so it made sense again (well, as much sense as I can have anyway :P). Phew..yeah...how was your day? I hope everyone's doing fine! Like I said, if you guys have anything to say that you are sensitive to share here via reviews, it's seriously no problem if you send me an e-mail on the address I posted here! :)

ANSWERS TO REVIEWS:

Penguin20: Hey there, ah thanks for asking! :) Well, fine for now, I got a "Very good" on my ecology exam now I'm waiting for results for two other exams and I can breathe calmly, at least for a week, until the next wave of exams hits me . Working currently on a school project, where we have to try and lead our own junior company, I can only say it's very exciting and exhilirating to partake in it! How's life treating you on your end?

daughterofapollo12345: haha Don't worry, not at all, it's definitely on my list! ;) Suggestions for Pride's crush though are welcome! :3 I'm really glad you liked it, I don't really have much experience in writing the other Homunculi (I'm still an amateur concerning Greed but I think I'm getting better at writing him) at least I hope so (sweat drop). Well, I'm an amateur writer so I guess that fits haha

Panic: (laughs and hugs you back) Aw, thank you so much! I was really nervous because I thought I screwed up! . (nods furiously) Mhm, definitely, he said it multiple times after all, that she was the only thing he freely chose, not dictated by Father's whim or his affiliation to his Homunculi brethren. Reminds me a bit of when Ling had been lecturing Greed, after Greed killed Bido, that those memories he started regaining of his old team in Dublith, that those memories were the only part of his old self he chose willingly, because they were so close to his heart. (blushes) Ah thank you! I was worried if I wrote them as too stoic or cold or something similar since I had no prior experience in writing them. Ahhh, good, good, noted! Thanks for clarifying that, sometimes my mind is a jumbled mess (hides face) haha Nah, don't worry about it, I tend to rabble and talk too much when I get comfortable and my guard isn't up (sweat drop) Thanks it's fun chatting to you and the others too! :3

Fun Questioning Session: haha Just so you know, on my e-mail OR through reviews, I accept: personal questions, random questions, questions on my stories, ideas, future story ideas, writing...etc, odd questions, well any kind :D

Enjooooyy reading my lovelies!

What's a soulmate?

"What's a soulmate?" his daughter questioned, tilting her head to the side in confusion, a trait she picked up from her mother.

Greed smiled, petting her head softly, "It's a...well, it's like a best friend but more,"

Greed and Lena smiled at each-other, bursting out in laughter at the hilarious scene of Ed lamely thinking of excuses on why he didn't buy milk and Winry chasing him with her wrench, her daughter imitating her pose and chasing her parents with her teddy bear, holding it like it was wrench. When their eyes met, Greed felt a pang in his heart and he looked away, feeling uncomfortable. Lena though continued smiling, realizing what the feeling inside her was.

Ed chuckled, "It's the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else,"

Winry and Ed continued bickering and Ed had tried to brush off her comments and pretend like he didn't care, only his best friend and childhood sweetheart knew him too well, "Don't hide from me Ed, I know you better than that," when she touched his shoulder, he stiffened, but turned around, looking at her with a mixture of surprise and relief. His lips spread into a smile, shaking his head at his own naivety.

"It's someone who makes you a better person," Ling explained, glancing meaningfully at Lan Fan.

"My Lord!" the bellatrix cried out in worry for her prince and Ling remembered something and smiled.

Ling grinned in embarrassment, scratching the back of his neck, "I'm sorry Lan Fan, guess I have to be more careful next time huh?"

Lan Fan blinked in confusion and Ling only smiled at her gently, feeling his heart flutter and lift when she mirrored his smile. Ling only managed to lead his country like a good emperor he aspired to be because of that woman, the woman that stuck to his side through good and bad, who convinced him that immortality wasn't the best choice and on how to view things differently.

Greed shook his head, "Actually, they don't make you a better person, you do it yourself, because they inspire you," he grinned at Lena, who smiled, a rosy tint on her cheeks.

Greed breathed heavily, looking behind himself to see if she was hurt, "Are you alright?" his shield was up and he removed it from his face, making it easier to breathe now. Lena stared at him in horror and shock, before she tried to stand up to see if he was injured, her injured leg reminding her of her immobility at the moment.

"Don't, I'm alright, but you don't have my fancy shield," Greed retorted, turning around and kneeling down on the ground, smiling softly when Lena scoffed. He pinched her cheek softly, which prompted her to look at him with a surprised squeak.

"Don't ever do that again, alright? I can't...we can't risk losing ya, stubborn woman," Greed bit back a grin but it still showed on his face. Lena blinked for a moment, before her expression softened into a smile and she nodded mutely. Greed never thought he would become such a softie and a addict for her smiles.

Alphonse rubbed his chin, smiling, "A soulmate is someone who you carry with you forever," he smiled lovingly down at Mei, pulling her close to him.

"Hey Al, whatcha looking at?" Ed tried to see what his brother was holding in his hand and he spotted a regal looking hairpin, flower replicas with gemstones as their base decorating its top.

Alphonse carefully pocketed it into his jacket pocket, "Nothing brother," he shook his head, the smile he bestowed his brother with reaching his eyes, but Ed noticed he was long gone. His mind elsewhere.

On a certain young woman with pigtails and a panda as her companion...

"It's the one person who...who knew you and accepted you and believed in you before anyone else did or when no one else would," Greed said fondly, lost in memories.

The smile on her face, even when she learned of his true nature, made his stone heart crumble. Everyone thought him a monster, a killer, a ruthless killing machine which knew no emotions. But she...this woman...she didn't. She said something that left everyone else around her speechless, with her hand firmly on his shoulder, squeezing, reassuring, comforting, "I believe him," and when Greed had looked down at her, in shock himself, she only offered him a kind smile, no traces of disdain or hostility present, unlike the people around them. Over the loud protests and cries of hate directed at Greed, he only had his attention on her, the woman that barely knew him, fought him tooth and nail when he was on the wrong side and offered him something no one else did before; hope. A hope that he could maybe become good, become the man she deserved to have by her side. So that's what he aspired to be. A good man.

Sig grinned, slinging an arm around his awesome wife, "And no matter what happens, you will always love them. Nothing can ever change that," he grinned down at Izumi, squeezing her shoulder. She looked up at him, a warm smile on her face, her smaller hand in his squeezing him back and leaning her head back against his broad frame.

He held her as closely and tightly as he possibly could without suffocating her. She only cried harder into his chest, violent shivers overtaking her entire body as she tried to stay strong and fight her uncontrolled sobs and cries.

They had lost their child. Izumi had lost her child. Sig was there all the way, he had managed to stop her from performing human transmutation. But that had been her first try, the second one, he didn't stop. Couldn't. At least that's what she kept telling him whenever he felt extreme guilt gnawing at his insides and eating away at his very soul. Izumi kept reminding him it had been solely her decision, she had purposely withheld her plans to him since he would immediately stop her and try to convince her otherwise, they could still adopt, or try for another child. But now, it was too late. Izumi couldn't bear any children anymore, however, after Sig had fought his own depression with his wife at his side, he helped her along the way. Soothing her worries, telling her adoption was still open, that the child would be theirs no matter what anyone told them. One night, she rolled over in their bed and quietly, barely above a whisper, thinking he was asleep, asked him if he still loved such a broken woman like her.

Sig had answered with the tenderest hugs he could give her, loving kisses covering every inch of her face and gentle words of love and adoration whispered in her ear, telling her just how much he loved and adored her, her strength, her compassion, how she practically raised Edward and Alphonse after their mother passed away, how she managed to shoulder everything life threw at them and be so much stronger than he himself was. So much better than he would ever be.

She had cried that night in his arms, telling him how she didn't deserve him, that she wasn't good enough, but he took away her worries, telling her she was the best thing that could have happened to him and that they would overcame this together.

Greed smiled warmly, rubbing Emilia's head affectionately, "Anymore questions sweetie?" he rose an eyebrow at his curious daughter, who always loved to learn something new, a trait she had picked up from her equally curious mother.

The little girl rested a finger on her chin, thinking hard, before she smiled and leaned back into her father's protective, warm hold, "Hmmm...is mommy your soulmate daddy?" curiously, she peeked up at her father's violet eyes, identical shades to her own.

Greed grinned and chuckled, ruffling his daughter's hair playfully as he turned his head to lock eyes with his wife, who was smiling gently their way, leaning against the doorframe, "After listening to my rambling until now, don't you think it's obvious? Of course she is sweetie, she always was," a part of Greed cringed at his cheesy as hell words but another, more larger part agreed wholeheartedly, elated at seeing the joyful look on his wife's face.

He gestured with his free hand to beckon her to him and their daughters on the couch, Lena happily walked towards them and settled herself into Greed's lap with a laugh, causing her husband to grunt at the added weight on top of him.

"Do you plan on killing me today?" Greed wheezed out, regaining the breath that had been knocked out of him by the combined weight of his resident three troublemakers.

Lena smirked mischievously before pecking his chin and winking, "Maybe tomorrow,"

Greed just grinned and laughed, pulling his family, his avarice's truest desire, close to him.

The end for this one! I hope everybody enjoyed it! :) Thank you all for supporting and reading my stories!
