Chapter 18: Curveball
It had been a couple days since training. Four days to be exact, each day being harder than the last, but Janelle kept it up. As much as her body wished for time in between to get a break, she kept repeating to herself to get better. Strong. Faster. If not just a little bit. A slim chance was better than none, and as the new morning went on with her back and face hitting the grace, her reflexes for blocking attacks had become quick and causing a bit of damage after Greed and Ed had showed her how to throw some force into her throws and kicks.
She was especially good with her legs and the avarice could vouch for that one. She seemed to even grow some more color in her face, her smiles positively growing each time she got something right. She loved it, everyday was something new, and every evening she sat down with an alchemy book and began to read. Some of it made no sense at all but with Ed there to explain it in simple terms that helped her understand it. Janelle was also surprised at how much Edward reminded the girl of her dad, his mind so wise, and how easy he made things sound.
Then again, the alchemist was good at doing that, making everything sound like it was just in reach, and then boom, she understood it like it was just so simple. Yet, no matter how many times she had tried to clap her hands, nothing would happen. She didn't understand why, but the brunette refused to give up. Even during training Edward told her to attempt to use it after he could teach her as much as he could in the amount time they had, but each time it failed.
Like now, Ed was trying hard to punch at her, switching up fists and pace with one swing after the other. At one point Janelle did a perfect back flip avoid a sneaky move he made, getting the blonde to grin at her talent, "Guess you've had some kind of training. That flip was flawless."
"Gymnastics I believe she called it!" Greed called from the side lines chuckling while he watched the two sitting on a tree that had been comfortably made to sit on. Janelle could only shake her head at him and shrug when she could deny what he said. But he only knew because Ling told him, but since she couldn't say so, she continued to dodge the knuckles close to cheeks, each one coming quicker than the last.
But when she felt her vision blur and her body go into auto pilot she suddenly felt herself grab his metal wrist and brought her elbow close enough to his face that it stopped him. Surprised him. Even Greed who ended up laughing out, "Look at that, Jenny has some bark to her bite now." Ed couldn't disagree, she was getting good and he could only grin prideful when he gave the signal to pull back, "Alright I'd call that a session for the day. You're doing better than I expected, only thing missing is that alchemy." Janelle nodded snapping her fingers as she looked to the side in disappointment, even shaking her head as she looked to the avarice who was approaching them, "Don't worry too much about Janelle." Ed assured patting her shoulder, "There's always a reason for everything. Maybe we're missing something, but we'll figure out." Janelle smiled and nodded before patting the hand that squeezed her shoulder, "In any case, I'm starving. Anyone else feeling for some food?" Greed put up a hand, getting Janelle to do the same before Ed rubbed the back of his head with a cheeky smile and led the way back, "Good, I hope you're all in the mood for leftovers."
"Sure, can't enough of that home cooking." Greed replied getting the two to chuckle a bit before the avarice looked down at Janelle, seeing her smiling happily back at him when all of sudden he snaked a hand around the other side of her hip, and pulled her close to him. She'd never tired of his touch, and from all the running around, she was feeling slightly light headed. Even a little queasy, but she felt the thirst that caused the slight nausea
At first, it didn't sound so bad to Janelle, in fact it sounded pretty delicious. She felt more hungry than usual too. Another reason for feeling sick probably. It was common for her to feel that way when she hadn't eaten in awhile, and when they opened the back door, the three other men where sitting around a table playing a game with a board game they had found in a linen closet, "Oh come on Darius that's cheating."
"Is not. Quit your belly aching and make your move."
"I never did get chest." Bido replied looking to the two men as he continued to wait his turn on the sidelines.
"It's a strategy game, very precise and very easy to loose your pieces if your not careful." Hienkel was slowly putting a piece down when suddenly the gorilla called out, "Check mate." Grinning triumphantly.
"Ugh, are you sure you're not cheating?" Hienkel was almost about to go into a frenzy over this game. He use to love this game too but now he wasn't too sure.
Now, Darius wanted what was his. The lion's money, "I'm just good at the game, now pay up."
"Fine, fine…" The lion grumbled curses afterwards but they were hard to hear as he pulled a few dollars from his pocket. Then they noticed Janelle setting up the table, and Ed poking his head out at them, "Hey anyone hungry? I'm about to kill over if I don't eat and I'm giving you guys warning."
"Ha, warning on what? You're not gonna it eat all." Greed interjected getting Ed to making shifty eyes before grinning at him, "The hell I won't. Growing boys got to eat." Some snickered under their breaths while Heinkel blatantly let him have it, "Growing wouldn't be the words I'd use."
"WHAT YOU SAY!" Janelle even couldn't help but giggle at the golden boy's response, which caused Ed to glare at her since before she turned away with an unbalanced smile, "And what are you laughing at!" She pointed to him covering her mouth with her hand, "What's so funny about me!" She couldn't help it anymore she bent forward holding her stomach, her face flush with a pink tint from laughing so hard, "Yeah well, at least I can use alchemy." She slightly tapped his shoulder, and bonked him on the head with her own. Not hard but enough to make him groan, "Hey…"
"Alright you two enough horsing around. Greed you gotta spoon?"
"Here." He was already in the draw grabbing a fork for himself so why not. But then he noticed Janelle's face suddenly paling, her features starting to sour while her eyes were looking towards the sink, "You okay babe? What's wrong?" She tried to smile through the smell that was making her queasy and touched his cheek to let him know everything was fine.
It was just…The leftovers were overpowering. She almost couldn't stand the smell of her own cooking. Instead she went for a glass of water, and began to drank a good amount before gasping back to breathe.
As he walked back the avarice continued to watch her for a little longer, watching her lean over the sink before she went into the fridge and grabbed an apple and pear. He was slightly listening in on the others, hearing them talk about their experiences in the Military, and about Janelle's improvement with her training. But Greed was in his own little world still keeping an eye on the girl while she cut up the fruits, and then sprinkled some lemon juice on it. Just a little.
Then she proceeded to eat it making Greed tilt his head a little at interesting combination of food, "Hey." He called to her, Janelle's hazel's meeting his when he patted his leg.
She took the hint and smiled with her bowl of fruit, eating the sweet and sour slices at a time with her fingers as she took a gentle seat in his lap, feeling his arms wrap around her waist, and his chin rest upon her the outer part of her shoulder. There he watched her eat the pieces, and curiously wondered how they tasted, "Why lemon juice?" He asked curiously to have her look at him before grabbing a piece of an apple and putting it to his mouth, "Oh…I don't know. I'm not a big sour fa-," She stuffed it in his mouth only to watch his face pucker and blink back a bit before he made a sound that made Janelle stifle her giggles before she hide her face in the table. Her silent laughter only being over powered by Ed and the others laughing their heads off at Greed's reaction, "God that's sour! Why would you even eat this?" She shrugged and hugged the bowl to her cheek before taking another bite with a face of bliss.
She was really liking it, "What's wrong with the leftovers? Just decided to switch it up today?" Ed suddenly asked as he tried to take a bite of his own food to stop his laugher, but when he saw the scrunched look upon her face and the shake of her head he could only chuckle more, and wipe his mouth with his napkin, "Just not feeling it today. I understand. Well, at least we have the greens right?" This time Janelle stifled herself thinking of a pot reference before she shook it from her mind.
It was something she may have found funny, but she doubt any of these guys would be into that kind of humor. Or even know what marijuana was in the first place and with a content feature Janelle continued to her fruits of goodies while looking at Greed through her peripherals. He was still jugging down his second cup of water before he lowered his head with a gasp of the refreshing liquid and then looked at the girl who seemed to look the other way a little, as if she hadn't been looking at him.
But he knew, he caught her staring and pulling her back to him before he grabbed a biscuit and took a bite. Then he had to ask, "You sure you're feeling alright?" Janelle smiled at him and raised her brows when she nodded, reassuring him before he smirked back and nodded, "Okay…It's just-, you seem a little…out of it. I'm just making sure you're not getting sick again." She shook her head and tapped his nose when she took her last few bites and removed herself from his lap, going for seconds, but this time making a bowl of vegetables. Eggplant, garlic, onions, zucchinis, bell pepper, anything she could find she cut up and sautéed it in a pan until it came out soft, crispy and evenly seasoned.
Even some of the boys were looking over to see what she was cooking, sniffing the air, and literally staring the girl down, "What're you making over there?" Janelle grinned and put a finger to her lips before she turned back around and continued to cook. She was so in the zone that even Greed seemed to smile at her love for cooking. He never knew that the little things she did made her smile so much. Every night they would have almost the same things to eat, but each time it tasted different, each seasoning changing up, and making it better.
She was a natural born cook that was for sure. When she was finished she made a bowl each for the boys and herself, serving them first of course to have them look at one another and dig in. It was hesitant at first, but when Ed was the first to take the bite his eyes light up like the fourth of July, "Oh wow. Mm, my taste buds just went into overdrive."
"It's delicious."
"Who knew you had a knack for this Janelle. You thinking of becoming a chef or something? Because you should." The girl just blushed and shook her head before suddenly having a memory of herself thinking of doing so once before. Her grandmother telling her once about her great grandfather being a chef himself. She didn't make mention of it, but she did try to smile it off without anyone noticing.
But who do you think noticed? You'd be correct if you guessed Greed. He never once stopped staring at her since their time of training, noticing her demeanor changing quickly as she sat there chewing away at a small piece of garlic. To tell the truth, she was starting to crave yams more than anything, but she shrugged it off for the next thing to get on her list on the next trip to the store, but that was if Winry didn't arrive. Because then that meant they would be leaving tonight, which gave her the butterflies every time she thought about it. She didn't want to leave just yet, she felt she could still find some way to use alchemy, but how could she do that when she hadn't figure out the key yet?
Just then, she felt a hand cup her face, and a pair of lips crush against hers, getting Janelle to gasp back before her mind grasp the concept of Greed smacking his mouth against hers for a quick moment. Just enough to get her attention and no one else's since they were all so deep in conversation.
Well, so he thought. Edward noticed this too, but he only saw because he too had noticed the distraught look in the girl's face, how pale her cheeks became so quickly before Greed distracted her from whatever it was that bothered her. But he refused to ruin their moment, and turned his attention to the conversation between the chimeras, "I'd say we leave the first chance we get when your auto mail is fix." Heikel said thinking Ed had already been listening, but either way it worked to the alchemist's benefit, "Definitely. We don't have much time, and the sooner we get Al and get to Central the better."
"As long as we keep telling ourselves that we will Ed."
"Heh, right. It's just been so long since I've seen him. I'll feel better once he's here. Winry too. What can I say, I worry about them." Ed's eyes softened both Janelle and Greed looking to him before looking back at one another with sideways smiles. The woman then placed her head to the avarice softly before removing herself once more and placing her bowl in the fridge.
She then felt a heavy need to sleep and yawned before rubbing her eyes, looking to Greed as she pointed to the stairs. At first he looked to the others and then smirked deviously when he took up the invitation and jumped out of his chairs, "Me and Janelle are heading upstairs for a bit."
"Good idea, she looks beat." Hienkel gave a soft chuckle to see the brunette agreeing to remark. He was more than right about that, she felt she could sleep for a week. A month! She wanted to marry the bed at this point.
"Huh. You noticed that too? Then it's not just me. Come on doll." She nodded to Greed taking his hand and leading the way up the steps with one foot at a time.
When they were far enough up the stairs the avarice grinned and squeezed her hand, "How about a bath too. After all that training I'm sure you want get a deep cleansing." The invitation he was referring made Janelle look back at him, and try to resist a smile, but the more he ran up behind her and lead her into the room, the more she smiled, and the more Greed grinned when he finally got a chance to lock the door.
Janelle was already going into the bathroom, getting that bath ready while she didn't seem to notice Greed already removing his jacket and laying it to the edge of the bed, then he worked on his shirt by the time she was filling the tub, and removing her own fabrics, her pants first, and then her take top.
From where the avarice was, he was also taking off his pants watching when Janelle looked back at to him and slowly unclipped her bra, getting him to bite his lip, and drop his pants to the floor. He walked to the bathroom, his eyes on hers when she slipped her panties down her thighs, the fabric bouncing when she got it to her knees. He had to admit, the view she was giving him was a sight, and it made him smirk as he watched her with amusement, her fingers letting her lacy underwear fall to the ground, "Never knew you had a thing for laces. We'll have to look into some outfits if that's the case." Janelle blushed but none the less smile softly giving Greed a shake of her head before running her hands over her waist, and seeing that she had slightly widen in her hips. Nothing bad, in fact she thought it was herself, and shrugged it off when she felt the avarice's chest flushed to her shoulder blades, his body assisting the girl into the tub while he removed his last piece of clothing and sat down in the refreshing water.
Then he extended his hands out to Jan and gestured her to him. She happily came in and let Greed lead her bottom to his lap, the water rippling around them as he embraced her from around her shoulders, kissing the back of her ear as she laid her head back against his collarbone, "Hmm…Long morning huh? And the training going better than expected. I never would've pictured you a fighter." She nodded to him smiling and closing her eyes as she took in a deep sigh, then looked back into the violets that gazed upon her. She then cupped his face and kissed his lips shortly before pulling away to see his widen smile.
Never in a million years did he ever imagine himself being in the arms of a beautiful woman…Well, he did, but not like this, with one woman, just one, and her face tranquil with a honey glow to her cheeks, her small body gently pressed against his as she breath so softly. She almost seemed to fall asleep right then and there, but Janelle's eyes reopened to find her gaze upon his own, his eyes docile and eager all at once, as if he were contemplating something to say.
Then he accidentally pressed the sides of his palms into her chest, which seemed to cause her pain when she flinched and hissed quietly. Greed of course pulled his hands away, "Sorry, sorry. Hurting?" She nodded and looked down at her chest to feel her breast, squeezing them to feel more soreness and hiss back almost trying to moan from today's lesson kicking her in the ass. And she was still feeling kind of light headed. Or was that just from the water?
Even Greed could see the glow in her face diminishing a bit when her face flushed of pain. He felt bad, and could only coax her close to him again when he took her wrist to assure her he'd help, "Get over here." He pulled her back to his front again and the avarice smiled when he slipped his hands under her arms and around her mounds with a soft tender squeeze, one that resembled more of a massage to Janelle. She could tell too, because his hands didn't caressed her like all the other times. This one was slow, and careful. Like he was attempting to be gentle as he rubbed her sides the best he could.
Janelle had to admit, she liked it, she sighed to it, and laid her head close enough that she could feel his nose fanning her face with every breath he took. Each sound shakier than the last, and his erection making itself presence with each light grasp he gave her. He even chuckled a bit and shifted himself a bit to make Janelle back at him with a glare shaking her head, "What? I can't help it. Your ass pushes against it. If anything you're the one teasing me." Janelle dropped her mouth, a look of shock but a small smile making it's way onto her lips before she splashed some water in his face. He didn't take to kindly to that only able to wipe his face with a hand and bite his lip glaring at her playfully before scoffing and pulling his hands back against her torso, down her stomach and right above her rib cage just as he sucked into her neck making her cringe and pull away when he began to tickle her.
He knew how much she hated and loved to be tickle, this time hating it knowing that Greed would take every advantage to make her ache with a mute laughter. Him as well as her really wished she could tell him to stop or laugh at giggle, something because this was just mean! Janelle wasn't trying hard to get away but the moment she turned around to attempt his attack on her, the avarice captured her lips and shoved his tongue in her mouth to make her freeze. By this time he had completely stopped the playing and began to rub up her surely sore sides.
In all honest her whole body ached, his touched and the warmth of the water being the only thing she could and wanted to experience at the moment. Greed deepened the kiss just as his naughty hands ran down her sides and rubbed her rump to help her on top of him, straddling his hard hips and throbbing muscle. He then proceeded to close his eyes enjoying the feel of her tongue freely loving his while he slide his hands now up her back and over her shoulders, straight up into the back of her head and into her hair to get her close as humanly possible.
He massaged her head, causing her to pull back softly panting against his lips, Greed's appendage teasingly dipping into her mouth every time she'd breath in, until she slammed her lips against his and wrapped an arm around his neck, the other making it's way behind her and around the head of his hot member. It twitched the moment she grasped it and the avarice hissed back with canine's sharp and exposed when he growled.
She smiled in their brush and tease of the lips, but suddenly pulled away just enough to hear the homunculus breath back with eyes glossed with lust and eagerness when she rubbed his tip against her entrance. Then he groaned when she pressed him in, her chest lifting towards his face to make him lean down and lick at a nipple. Janelle became even wetter, sliding him in finally and bent forward to surround the avarice in the valley of her breast, his moans soft when she slowly began to ride him.
She didn't want to go too fast, enjoy every feel of his length and width entering her, letting his size adjust inside before she sheathed him completely. Her cheeks were now flushed and her hazel's catching his when she moaned. Bit by bit as Janelle wrapped both arms around Greed, the girl began to rotate her hips around, stirring him against her walls to make her head fly back before Greed pulled her close kissing the brunette deeply before pulling back and putting the other neglected nipple into his mouth, swirling his tongue around it before sucking back on it hard to get his woman to ride him faster, her panting starting to become more apparent as the bath began to splash around them, "Ngh, such a succulent little morsel." Being caught up in the moment, he sucked harder on the nipple taking it in between his teeth as he bucked his hips to her rhythm, enjoying the taste of her skin in his hot hungry mouth.
Janelle's embrace tightened with her pants heavy at his ear, her fingers digging into him and scratching at his tough skin to get a strangled groan out of him before he picked up the pace.
She loved it, his speed so precise and wonderful, she couldn't be any more in heaven. She was just waiting for life to take this happiness away from her, but with her heart swelling against her chest, Janelle could only bite down lovingly on a pressure point, with a needful suckle. He moaned this time, giving a huff before he wrapped her legs around his waist better and pulled her out of the bath tub, "Fuck this." His voice was trying hard to stay quiet, but his mind in a haze with the only intent to get the girl to orgasm.
At first Janelle thought he would head for the bed, but instead he leaned into her lips and whispered, "Don't let go." She nodded and waited for his retaliation for the lust he craved, the pleasure he desired. He took a deep smell of her shoulder, and used his pelvic to thrust the girl onto him, her mouth opening a bit while her eyes watered at the sensation, it felt so good, but a part of her just started to ache, almost to the point it was beginning to hurt. She attempted to endure it thinking it was just from one of Ed's throw downs.
Unfortunately, the harder and rougher Greed was getting the more her nails began to dig into him, and not in the good way, getting the homunculus to pull back and hiss, "Easy doll easy…" He nudged his forehead to hers lips immediately locking together before he muttered between their lips, his body still grinding urgently against Janelle's while her sleeve recoiled around him, "Poor thing…Just worked yourself over in training didn't ya?" She nodded, licking his lips before she kissed him and pulled away far enough to signal him to the bedroom, "Heh, what you don't like the bath?" She shook her head and kissed him again this time deeper, lustful and hard, anything to get him to want to go to the bed.
And Janelle was definitely winning as Greed rolled his eyes and groaned, grinding their hips so hard to one another that all he could think about was getting her into a new position, one that would have her scream for her release. He didn't know what was up with him today but after watching Janelle fight with Ed and watching her nearly kick his ass made him want to ravage the animal part of her to kingdom come.
So then finally, he gave in, growling and pulling out of her slowly to savor her walls before he let her down, her orbs so glossed, tired and yet so full of surprises to come. She bit her lip and licked his chin before smiling softly and turning around to the soap.
She lathered it in her hands and began to wash her body. Knowing that Greed was watching now, his teeth biting into his lip as his eyes concentrated on the one thing he wanted. What he had a fix for.
It was unbearable to enjoy the scene of her washing her breast and stomach, her nipples so perked he could only thinking about sucking on it till it reddened brighter than the reddest rose, and her thighs, thick and plump bubbling with suds till she watched them away.
By the time she was done, Greed had been standing there the whole time with a ticking erection, his member standing proud and pulsing harder than Janelle had ever remembered it. She smirked cheekily to herself looking to the avaricious' eyes before getting on her knees to see the shift in his eyes change, her mouth opening and moving forward over his tip to suck him in slowly, teeth gritting at the warm tingling sensation.
He loved it, her tongue moved so swiftly around his length and her hand squeezed around the base to get him swelling in her mouth. Janelle kept her eyes on him the whole time she began to bob her head while her hands washed him, her lips only covering his tip to lick and suck at it. She was way to good at this, especially by the way she looked at him, her eyes glossy and her breast softly pressing up against his legs to make Greed bite his lip. He could feel every brush of her nipples against him, every time she moved or ran a lathered hand down her chest so she could clean his legs in the process, "Damn doll I love the way you do that." She loved the look on his face, it was full of painful pleasure, making Janelle want to play with herself making her throat tighten the second she touched herself.
The girl had already been throbbing but after the touch she could hardly stop her self from wanting to moan. And from the constriction Greed groaned and pulled her hair back into a pony tail, assisting her in the movements, letting Jan to have control over how much she consumed of him. Soon after a few thrusts into the girl's hot awaiting mouth Janelle took Greed deep down her throat, as far as she could take him to hear him growl, loud and low.
And she took him all the way to the base and stayed their feeling his cock pulse faster until he was nearly pleading with his eyes. He was right all along about her fantasy's but she never imagined the wonderful feature on his face.
Janelle was hurting now, more than ever. She ceased her circular motions to her clit, pulling the avarice's length completely out of her mouth, gasping back for air as Greed desperately did trying to keep himself in control of his own actions, trying hard not to attack the girl and drill her into the tub.
Her eyes never wavered from his when she licked her lips, but had to do so when she grabbed for a small clean cup she had been using recently, and filled it to wash away the suds on the avarice's stomach and legs.
He made a small sigh, and then grit his teeth with another loud hiss and groan when Janelle washed his cock clean and slid his tip back into her mouth. She took him half way then all the way, all very, very slowly, rubbing the tip of his cock to the back of her throat, her reflexes unable to catch his thrust this time and slightly gagged back, squeezing around him, Greed groaning and throwing his head back before feeling his end nearing so soon.
He could see that Janelle knew too, his cock fucking her mouth faster and harder till she was eagerly and hungrily awaiting for his delicious taste. It was making him more excited, a moan slipping from his pierced lip when he came heavily, every shot being swallowed with each roll of her tongue over his thick swollen tip. It was so big when he hit climax, pulsing and sensitive to the touch that the mere flick of her tongue at the end left him panting hard, his hands releasing from her hair in a hurry to grab for the girl's soapy form. Her slippery chest rubbing against his while the avaricious inhaled her scent while pecking her lips tenderly, "You forgot a spot…" His husked voice ached, his cock still pulsing and throbbing for another round. She swore this stamina of his was going to bed the end of her, the boys never let up. And yet she didn't mind any of it. Not at all.
She loved every second of it, but why did life have to feel so perfect? Why did she have to feel so entranced by these two incredible souls. She never felt like this. Never. How could she feel so complete? It didn't seem to matter how though, all she knew was that her body was screaming for him, just as her lips that were harshly moving against his. They both were urgent, almost feeling crazy. Janelle especially; she was at the point of wanting to confess to him how he made her truly feel. She didn't think she could even describe it to him, afraid of what would happen and how he would react again to her saying it without being intimidated to say so. To feel confident when she told him how much she loved him.
Ling knew how much love she had for him, and it could never be broken, but she hadn't told Greed. Did he even want to hear it from her? Or would he fall afraid like she had? The question popped to her mind the moment she even thought of mentioning to him. And as it sunk in, the more she wanted to say it, the more she wanted to let the avaricious know how much he meant to her. Sure she had shown it more than enough times, but she needed to tell him, somehow, some way.
By the time they had finished with the bath, Greed wasted no time bringing her into the bed finally, laying her back to the mattress while he began to kiss down her stomach.
But something felt weird. Again. It wasn't just her breast this time although they were still incredibly sore when they bounced a little, but now her stomach felt off too. She assumed it was either from the soup, or her stomach was starting to stiffen. It was a very odd feeling, but she ignored it the moment Greed licked her labium, starting from bottom to top, then suckled on the girl's clit softly to get her to arch a her shoulder blades into the bed, her head throwing back a bit when she attempted to button her lips and close her eyes to the incredible to feeling of his preparation.
When he was done getting a small taste of her the avarice came up with a lick of his lips, humming in delight when he came up for a kiss, "Want a taste?" She wasn't able to say much, their mouths already connected when he asked, pressing and crushing their mouth together, and constantly switching up the position like a metronome.
The kiss became filled with amorous and so much passion that their teeth began to click against the others. To the point that Janelle was beginning to lap at his lips, getting him to try and catch her tongue in his mouth. He tried a few times trying to use his own tongue after a few moments of frustration and a pinch at his abdomen. It was that tug of greed and lust, need and want, crazy and sane. He was on the brink of them all, and even more so when he finally caught her tongue gently between his teeth, startling the girl and sucking in her appendage until they were lip and tongue locked once more.
Then he reached down urgently, and rubbed the head of his cock at Jan's soft tight opening, outlining the tip of his head with her hole tenderly and very slowly sticking it in little by little. He'd inch in and then pull out completely, inch in more and then pull back out, each time getting deeper, and stronger, only staying in long enough to thrust in nice and snug when Greed had felt the center of her core, how hot it felt. How tight. It was so tight he could barely move like the night with the cream. Well, even though it was Ling who had the body at the time he could definitely tell how tight she was, he only felt so lucky to feel her this tight again, chuckle when he couldn't stop thrusting inside her now.
It was too late, he was planning on teasing her but the way she felt was just too damn good! And the faster he went the tighter she got, feeling her honey pot pulling him deeper into her, "Just you wait…You keep kissing me like that and I'm going to have to do something drastic…" He then grabbed her hair and pulled her head to the side, getting their lips to pull away before he began to whisper close to her, "Like spanking you while pounding you into this bed? Or to throw your legs around my shoulders and find the deepest cervix of your soul." He pressed his face into the crook of her jaw and licked up her cheek and seductively against her ear to feel her shutter and cringe at his warm tongue's play, then he chuckled darkly and asked closely to her ear again, "But instead I want you give you a little control. Like back in the truck in Central, when we were coming down the mountain. Mm, remember that?" He was smiling but inhaling back contently when he pulled out and achingly slid back in slowly, "When you started to move your hips on me after I started talking about your fantasies. God you tightened quicker than I had expected. So, go ahead," He then thrust into her hard watching her gasp back as he moaned back in her ear, nearly snarling, "Do whatever you want. Give into your ultimate desires." She tried poorly to pull away, but he only sucked and nibbled on her ear more until he used the thickness of his tongue to glide down her neck until he found her special small weak spot just a little near the crook of the neck but further where her shoulder blades began. Just in between there, and that's all he needed to get her to pull him close, and get him on all fours above her.
At first he was a little confused but did as she instructed him, feeling her wrap her arms around his neck while she lifted her bottom from the mattress and pressed the front of her feet into the bed. And while Greed remained stationary, Janelle looked into his eyes as she began to do all the work. Oh yes, after them always doing most of the work, and with Janelle feeling like she had some strength to hold herself up she was going to rock his world.
Already she was hearing him groan in his throat, his lips coming down on hers as she tightened herself around him, her body trying to press up as close as she could with the avarice stroking her hair back, his tongue running wild against her own, the angle and position itself made Greed want to start moving, but every time he tried she cancelled him out, getting him to chuckle against her lips before pulled back enough to speak, but each time he did, Janelle licked at his mouth with her tongue, teasing him back into an untamed kiss.
Without a hitch her hips moved and dipped to sheath his entire cock, each minute passing becoming more painful and the thrusts faster than the last, yet the pain only arising when it wasn't enough. Even Greed could tell she wanted more, her attempt making her give a pouted face to him kissing him deeply and bringing her bottom to the bed and pulled Greed to her, getting that deep angle she had been praying for.
But then released one of her legs from his shoulder to leave the avarice confused before she synchronized their thighs together, getting this knew position that left the man above her to grin down at start to move, "Like this huh? Ngh…this is new…You've been looking into that book before we left haven't you?" She didn't respond but instead made a face of bliss, then brought on of her hands around the leg that was over Greed's shoulder, and she gasped back as she dipped her head to the side with a silent moan.
Of course she wouldn't answer his question though, because he already knew, and began to speed up his pace to watch the girl give him a reassuring stare. That's when he leaned in, bringing his chest to hers to feel her skin heating his own, "You naughty little girl…" Then he attacked the underside of her jaw line, the sound of loud chirping when he sucked back on the beaded skin.
To him the taste of Janelle's skin was delicious, salted and sweetened from the sweat and water, but the scent of her skin alone was enough to drive him into a hysteria. He moaned when she clenched him hard, and when she began to put more force into his thrust, her assistance making his end already so close like before, growling loudly, "Love the way you're touching yourself. Keeping do it…Don't stop." She wish she could really shut him up, her inside were throbbing bad enough with his cock beating in a different rhythm to him, causing them both flush to each other closer, Greed pulling her down by her waist and causing him to groan when she bucked her hips to stir up her insides, "God I can feel all of you. As I said before beautiful even without words I can still feel how excited you get when I fuck your brains out." Why is it every time he spoke to her she went mad with an overwhelming sensation of tingles and pulses. She couldn't help herself, her breaths were coming in short pants as her end neared, her brows knitting when she felt the knot in her core began to tighten, and so did her soft hot walls when she pulled his head down close to lick desperately at his mouth getting Greed to growl and devour her mouth over his, feeling his cock begin to swell inside the girl, "This is it babe, I'm gonna cum. I'm gonna cum inside you." He couldn't stop himself, his mind wanted to make it last but his hips refused to stop, his panting speeding and causing Janelle as well as himself to hiss back, Greed moaning when he felt himself finally release with a hard deep thrust.
He huffed, and even muttered a curse when his head flew back and then returned back to the sight of his cock embedding inside his woman with the last of his thick essences.
It took a moment or two to regain consciousness, to regain self control over their bodies while Greed gazed back up and Janelle and kissed her passionately as he released her leg from his shoulder and grasped the girl's torso with both hands now and ran then up to her breast to rub them gently. Enough to where it was just the slightest touch, his hands just tenderly caressing and brushing over the nipples before pulling up a little to have them shake.
Then his hands went up to her collarbone and neck, and her face. Then tilt his head to the side and deepened the kiss with eyes barely open, a glow hazing around the girl's illuminating face. Either he was still drowning in the lovely brunette in his arms or she really was still glowing in a way he had never seen her before. Any woman for that reason. It was like she had this persona of a tranquil gaze in her eyes, the light from the window showing the natural glow in her soft, now content features.
She took a small breath, and smiled tiredly up at the avarice before laying her head back down with a small close of her eyes. Greed then pulled out and moved over to the side to find his head laying on the girl's shoulder, and her hand coming up to hug his face, almost as if she was cradling him while their breaths attempted to cease from their heated collation, "If we keep this up I might be able to dip into your deepest darkest fantasies." He smiled wider at the idea and looked up to Jan to see a smirk take her features and roll her eyes before she gave a shake of her head.
An adorable smile trying not to show through flustered cheek bones. It made Greed chuckle out of habit to see such a cute grin on her face. Then he leaned into to kiss her one last time before laying his head back where it belonged, and where he contently began to close his eyes, "I'm sure you need a break though being sore and tender from earlier. Mm, I might just have to give a massage after this so you'll be ready for round two." She still couldn't stop smiling, but had her eyes closed none the less until the two drifted off slowly, regaining some much need rest that Janelle had been dying to catch up on.
Before long, she was already asleep, along with Greed who had immediately started to slightly snore in his sleep. It was nice, and the slumber was quiet for once. She had no memories, but there was a weird sound of a door. At first, she thought it was her door to the room not thinking anything of it. But when she heard a familiar chuckle and then the sound of the door slamming, she heard a child crying and was startled from the sleep from the loud boom echoing and vibrating through the walls of her cranium.
It of course scared the living day lights out of Greed when he sprang up from the bed seeing Janelle scanning the room in a panic, "What-, what happened?" She did a double take around the room and then began to rub her face of a sudden migraine she felt and sighed deeply laying back.
This also told Greed that it was nothing but a dream or at least something close to it, and laid his elbow against the mattress and then his head against one of the pillows with a breathless chuckle, "You scared me half to death." She was still panting from what he could see, but Janelle merely smiled at him tiredly and took a deep breath before turning over on her side cupping her hand over Greed's.
He appreciate the apology but it wasn't needed. None the less he kissed her knuckles, pecking them a couple of times before he looked up at Janelle and asked her quietly through his comfort, "Mm…I don't know maybe you are getting sick again huh? You've been acting a little weird all day." Janelle shrugged not really thinking about it, and closed her eyes before shaking her head of whatever it was she wanted to say.
He thought about asking what was on her mind, but by the look in her face, she just seemed to want to go back to sleep, which he happily obliged her by wrapping an arm around her and pulling her in close to him, "Come on, we'll worry about it later. Let's just try to get that cat nap in, alright?" Then he gave a loud yawn and snuggled up to the brunette who happily nuzzled herself into the comfy position.
This time, she really was able to fall back to sleep, hours passing before it had hit 4:30 in the late afternoon, again it was getting close to dinner time, and Janelle had slightly over slept to make her grandmother's favorite recipe. Even when she woke up she started to slug it out of bed, her stomach feeling odd again when she found herself laying on it. It was firm. Unusually firm, and uncomfortable. She was usually a person to sleep on her stomach during the night, or at least end up that way, but this time was more than usual. It actually made her queasy again. Damn it I think Greed was right about me getting sick, crap, I can't afford it not with the promise day so close. Makes me more paranoid than jumping spiders do.
Janelle might've not understood what was going on, but if this kept up she was going to start snooping in those medical books if she could find them. Yes, the medical books that Ed had mentioned to the couple in Rush Valley when she had to deliver their child. Winry had read them as a child, and if she could find the books maybe she could figure out her symptoms for what it was that caused the pressure in her stomach. She hoped it wasn't anything serious.
In the mean time she had another idea in mind, and decided to snoop through the fridge with a drowsy yawn, wearing jeans with a white long sleeved dress shirt that she wore over the tank top, her hair already brushed and braided back to give her a decent enough look. Now as she scanned the fridge she looked to a jar of honey, and the apples to make a new bowl of sweets. She cut it up like she did previously when making the more sour dish but this time drizzled the honey over the fruit before addressing to her mess and going on with dinner, all while taking bites at a time and chopping lettuce, home made real cheese, small tomatoes her, and Ed picked for this occasion. It was an all Italian dinner, steak, and the bread was the best part.
After she was finished prepping she started on the quick marinating and as she let them stew in the seasonings the hazel eyed girl made herself scarce with her bowl of sweetened fruits and went to the nearest book shelf she could find. One was sitting out in the living room so she decided to start her search there, her eyes looking up at the countless titles of auto mail, parts and some medical. They were working with the nerves to install their hard work so it made sense, but she was looking books on sickness. For awhile as she looked the books over and bit into a piece of an apple, Janelle was beginning to believe that her search was for nothing. At least for this book shelf. So she decided to look around the house for any other book cases she could find, but the question was where would books on sickness be? In Winry's parents room? Did Pinako even have a room for them still? Would it have been the same? There was only one way to find out.
Janelle looked up the stairs and contemplated on whether or not to even check. It wasn't her house, so instead of rudely entering another room without permissions she decided to go ask Ed. She made her way up the steps, and made it to the top second floor while skipping three hops before she jumped right in front of the room Ed had been staying in and knocked on the door softly.
She waited patiently even though it took no more than a second for Ed to open the door, smiling when he saw Janelle smiling back, "Hey, sleepy heads awake." She nodded and waved him close, "What is it?" Then he made a weird face, "Boy, you must really like apples huh?" She nodded again but then handed him the bowl, "N-No, that's okay I don't-," But she put a finger to stop him and pulled out the blue notebook from her back pocket and sketch down the word medical books with a question mark, "Hm? Medical books? Are you asking if we have any?" She smiled and nodded rubbing her stomach with a slight worried face, and Ed nodded, "Yeah, I know where some of them are. Have you checked downstairs?" She nodded.
"Ah, so you need one on stomach pains?" She made a gesture of 'sort of' and then pointed to her head, "Headaches too? Alright, it doesn't sound too bad, if anything you might've just ate something bad. But we've all been eating the same things, besides from yesterday, but I don't know, you have been working yourself pretty hard to learn alchemy, and the fact that I keep throwing you to the floor doesn't help." She gave a him a smile but tried to be serious, yet it was hard when she knew he was right. She was getting better but he was still way better than she was. He'd kick her ass every time. He chuckled then and handed Janelle back her bowl of fruits when she started to eye them, "Come on, I'm sure we can find out what it is." He then led the girl to another room, an extra room, and began to look around for the books that could explain a few things.
While he did that, Janelle sat her bowl on the nearest desk table and pulled out her blue book again to write something down in it. She walked up to the end and showed him the writing, his observing eyes scanning the letters as he rubbed his chin, "This morning?" She nodded at him, making him hum as he looked to her slightly puzzled, "Does it hurt?" She shook her head and then scribbled down more chicken writing, "Heh, maybe you've just been sleeping wrong." Janelle smiled softly and only shrugged, again writing down in the notebook with another question that left him blushing and making a funny thing with his lips. They looked like squiggles, causing a silent giggle before she pat his shoulder.
He just looked away and cleared his throat before looking to the books for a distraction, "And breast are tender, okay…Uh-, uh…H-Here. This looks promising." Finally gaining some composure Ed began to look through the book, reading it like Janelle had never seen anyone read a book before.
He read it fast. Really fast. But he was silent, giving Janelle the impression he was in his study zone, and looked over to her fruit bowl that was half full. Or was it half empty?
She then took a seat and sighed as she looked a bite of an apple, one that was oozing in honey. It looked delicious, but a suddenly urge causing her to fall pale, and blow air through her mouth with a revolting look on her face. She dropped it immediately and ran for the nearest bathroom, Ed dropping the book and right behind her when he watched her dart out of the room, "Janelle?" He stopped right around the corner to watch her go for the hall bathroom and vomit a moment later. And the blonde just stood there listening, for a moment before frowning as he approached the bathroom.
Janelle's hand were balled as she retched again one holding her hair back to keep it out of the way.
Everyone else heard her throwing up too, getting the chimeras from down in the basement and Greed to come and see the commotion. They could heard the pain behind her revolting to, "Ah Janelle…" Greed brushed passed Ed and came to rub her back before she panted for another go. The others cringed at it while other shook their head, "So is she sick or not?"
"Nah, if I didn't know any better. I'd say she was pregnant."
"WHAT!" Ed and Greed both whipped their heads to Hienkel who put up his hand in defense, "That's just what it looks like to me. I've had plenty of Military buddies tell about their wives symptoms, and since my ex-wife and me did try it just wasn't in the bag." Everyone was silent before Greed gave scoff of disbelief, "That can't be right…You can't…" Then trailed off, remembering that even though he was the homunculus in all this, Ling's body was still humans. And if that was the case it was truly the inevitable. He slowly looked to Janelle, her eyes closed, beads of sweat running down her face as she covered her mouth. Then she shook and cringed while shaking her head with tears starting to seep from the corner of her eyes.
Then Ed started to think about it too. Not like he wanted to, but he could've sworn Janelle said she wasn't even sure if she could have kids or not. But from the apples to the lemon juice, and the sensitive smells and throwing up again, it was definitely all adding up to lead to the ultimate outcome.
What made it even worse that Janelle wouldn't move after she was finished, she just sat there, almost on the verge of tears the further it sunk, and Greed could only button his lip before licking them with a swollen throat. He could barely speak when he looked to the others in shock, "Could you guys give us a minute?" Ed looked to the homunculus, then to Janelle before he sighed and looked to the others who gazed back before spreading out, leaving the bathroom himself to go make a sandwich instead, hoping that Greed would be able to handle the news if the signs were true.
Now that the two were alone, Greed could only stare intently at the girl, finding the right, and encouraging words to tell her it'll be okay, but how could he when he was having a heart attack of his own. Pregnant? Now? Of all times? He couldn't fathom how this was possible after what happened to the girl. Her assumption of being sterile, but now here he was in front of the woman he cared deeply for, her face distraught, and afraid to look at him. The avarice felt he had no right words for her, that no matter what he would say, he would upset her, more than anything he didn't want to do that. It was obvious she disbelieved this herself and no matter the positive things that ran through his head he could only feel paralyzed.
Until suddenly Ling spoke, Say something, Greed. Grunting at the voice he finally side and rubbed his face before looking down at the floor. Then looking to the girl who was now on crying silent, "Alright. Come on, let's go to the bedroom. We'll talk there alright? You want some water?" She shook her head sniffling before wiping her eyes and still refusing to look at him. When they got to the room and Greed had locked the door, he turned to see the brunette was no longer crying but just looking at the wooden floor with a distant daze in her hazel orbs, her arms around herself as if ashamed. The question was what about? Was it the fact that she was pregnant again? Or was it the fact that she knew now that she could still reproduce? He figured any woman would be afraid, if not a little. Afraid of what he was thinking, of how he felt.
But was that the truth? Greed had to really ask himself, even as the avaricious is wanting a child being greedy? He wasn't mad about her being pregnant. His head just exploded with ideas and feelings, worries and something he didn't really understand, being a homunculus, and having a family that was far the normal. He knew nothing of how humans did this sort of thing, or how they prepared for something as big as bringing another person into the world. But he or she was here now, probably. And that was that.
Greed had this gut retching fear of maybe disappointing Janelle, not being that man she wanted him be, or not being fit to be…What humans call a real father. How was he suppose to tell her he was completely terrified and nervous about being a-, father of all things. A father! He didn't know the first thing about children let alone take care of one, and yet a part of him was actually overjoyed by the 'maybe baby'news. He didn't know why, he was a homunculus and he should've be unable to have offspring's, but maybe, just maybe in a way, Greed felt this baby was his. He was in awe feeling just as mute as the said girl who was carrying their bundle.
The bundle he literally had a help in creating. His very first son. Or even a daughter. He could only imagine what Ling was feeling about this. Which by the sense of it he was just as happy and excited as the avarice, but also just as scared shitless. You sure I should speak. I don't…Want to upset her more, especially after she told us about…you know-,
If you don't, I will Finally he stopped contemplating in his head, stopped panicking and walked up to the side of the bed to take a seat and kept his eyes on the girl's face that attempted to look away further when he sat down.
But he made a clicking sound with the tip of his tongue, almost insulted by her looking away, and cupped the side of her face to force her to look at him, "Hey, hey, hey, don't hide away from me when things start to get really serious. I'm not mad Janelle if that's what you're worried about, but if you really are pregnant then you need to stop training Jenny. I mean you can't be putting stress like that on yourself. Not with a-…a baby. Heh, no wonder you've been feeling queasy." She slightly tried to pull away shaking her head at the thought, pulling out her book and about to write in it before Greed grabbed her hand that held the pencil and gazed deeply into her eyes, "Before you write anything, do you want to know what I think?" She slowly went from the book to him again, seeing an odd look in his eyes.
Almost fear, but to her, she thought of the worse case scenario, just to be on the safe side, "I think…that I'm afraid, because this is something…way out of my knowledge. And although this is the piss ants body I'm assuming it's more likely his infant than mine. All of that may be true and more, and who knows how it even became possible after what happened to you, but there's a part of me that's saying that I'm above being low and thinking anything less of what you would want from this. I want you to know that I'm…," He stopped almost confused as he laughed almost unable to stop, "Happy." He said that with such confidence, that Janelle looked back to him almost surprised, which by this time made the avarious settle down and chuckled softly when he scooted even closer to her, "For some reason I knew you were worried about what I would think. Afraid of a repeat of what Chase did. That's not me. I've known you for awhile Jan and I can read you like this book. I'm not going anywhere just because I was able to knock you up. We both made this happen, we both need to take responsibility, and take care of each other, as insane as that sounds coming from me, I mean it. And you know I do." She seemed to look at him in disbelief. Did he just say that Greed the avaricious was happy to be a father? She really couldn't believe what she was hearing. Only able to start tearing up again, but trying to smile it off before the droplets came pouring down.
She still didn't know how to feel, in this whole situation she had brought a child into the mix. Again she was being irresponsible, and she only wrote it down to let Greed see what she wrote.
With it he smiled at her and grabbed the back of her head to kiss her, "Yeah well we may have not been thinking about it, but hey I'm not complaining. What's done is done, you're pregnant, I'm a dad, and pops is going to have a field day when he finds out." The look crossing the girl's face only made Greed retract what he said and sighed with a calm feature, "Sorry. I didn't mean it like that. We'll handle if the situation arises. But just, please, be careful. No more rough training, no more wrestling, you're going to have to take it easy from now on. You'll only do more harm than good if you don't." She tried not to smile, ignoring the stains printed to her face before Greed wiped them away ever so gently, "If you want…" He suddenly leaned and came close to her ear, "I'll let you in on a little secret between the three of us." He gulped back, his eyes glistening in the lamp that lit the room. His body shook from what he was about to say. Feeling insane but sane when he felt an urge to let Jen know whatever was on his mind, "Jenny…I-,…" When he trailed off for a moment the girl shuttered and gripped onto his forearm when he pressed his lips to her ear, whispering the words so quietly that only she was able to hear them carelessly and breathlessly slip his mouth, " I love you." She was about to look at him like he was daft but he pulled her ear close to his lips, "No, don't you dare. You're going to listen and you're going to listen good. I love you, and you are mine. Mine. I've said it before and I'll say it again." Then his hand laid against her stomach feeling the small bump to make him nearly choke, "And this child is mine too. I'm damn proud to be a homunculus that can be so. To have such a connection. It's a weird feeling, but there's nothing like it. And there is no way in hell I'm letting you do this alone. I'd hoped that Ling would kick my ass if I thought otherwise." There was a small silence, before Greed squeezed her hand, and their eyes turned to face one another, his eyes steady and his lips spreading into a small smirk, "You want to talk to him? Just to make sure that any doubt you have is just a figment of your imagination?" She looked down at their hands before looking back up at him with the answer residing in her doughy glassy iris's.
Then with a soft close of his eyes, and reopening them, Greed slowly let the Prince take over. The boy's eyes changed to the midnight black she remembered his eyes to be, and gave him a slanted smile when she saw the smile on his face turn into an overjoyed grin, "So, with all the signs in tact, I'd say there's no doubt that you are." He squeezed her hand tightly, that happy grin painted across his face before he bite his lip and brought Janelle close enough that he could lean his forehead to hers, "Wow. That's a big change, and talk about timing huh? A baby." It was obvious he was ecstatic about it, which was a first for Janelle, but she merely felt her heart swell with a joy she had never known and smiled brightly back before wrapping her arms around his neck, bringing him chest to chest with her to get him into a tight embrace, his lips kissing against her head as he rubbed the outline of her shoulders, "Words can't express how in love I am with you Jenny, and don't you assume for a second that I wouldn't want this. I wouldn't want it with anyone else." She was on the verge of crying, Ling could feel her form holding him tighter and hiding her face away in the crook of his neck as he went on, "I know you're scared, I am too, and Greed is definitely freaked even if he doesn't show it, but, as he said, it's a new road to take, for all of us. And he was right about a few things, I'm sure we were all shocked to hear that the-, incident didn't harm you. I'm thankful that somehow someway life has given you another chance to try again. And us a chance." She was choking up, but resisting hard to keep her head up, seeing the loving gaze in his eyes when he leaned down and kissed her forehead. He cupped her face in the midst, and lifted her hazel's to his eyes again, "While we'll have a different strategy in our plans now, I want to make sure you stay safe. So nothing too drastic, alright? I know Greed already said his peace, but I want to make sure you understand how serious and dangerous this became. For you and the baby." Ling pulled away from the embrace his eyes gazing at the brunette who still seemed a bit nervous. Paled by what he said.
Who could blame her though she had just been given the heart attack of her life, and with things looking as they were, this whole adventure was about to get rocky. And if Father did find out about this, it was only a matter of time before they would attempt to separate them again. In a way, he would assume this to be his grandchild, as weird as that sounded. It really was. Father, a once imaginary character was about to be the crazy grandfather of her offspring. Talk about family issues. She could only wonder how she would tell this story later to her child when they were old enough to understand.
Suddenly the prince's eyes went to her belly, and he smiled with a breathless titter before one of his hands lightly pressed against her tummy, his lips smiling even wider at the feel, and sense of the new comer. He cursed himself mentally his eyes closing for a moment to stop the feel of an overwhelming need to cry. He held back well only able to give the biggest grin Jan had ever seen on his face, "It's so incredible. It shows, not physically of course, but the sense of its chi, and the definite change in you, I believe this may be more than a dream." She tilted her head to him, feeling his nose touch hers when he gazed amorously into her doughy iris's, "This unlike anything I could ever think of describing. The sensations, the feel of sensing and knowing that we've made something so beautiful. I almost can't believe this is happening to me, of all people. You seriously must've been an angel because you've blessed me in a way I could never describe with mere words." Janelle couldn't help it she closed her eyes, smiles still brightening the room more than anything as she cupped both of her hands over Ling's and enjoyed the feel of the warm pressure she caused.
Yes, she could feel it. Him. Her. Whoever it was. They were here and she wasn't going to let them down. Janelle was going to take her blessings and cherish what she had and never let them go. Janelle opened her eyes to the prince, that huge joyous grin on his face still there to make her smile back before he pressed her lips against his, kissing her passionately before pulling away, and starting to undo her white shirt. A smile came over the girl's face blushing when feeling Ling take her mouth at a deep angle, his tongue swirling around hers while fiddling with the last few buttons, "Have I told you how much I love you today? Because I don't believe I have just yet." She blushed even harder, wanting to whimper when he laid his back down on the bed and brought her gently on top of him, his hand still cupped in hers when he brought her chest to chest and nose to nose.
Then he kissed her, and it was patient, slow, he was in no rush to make love to her, only wanting and yearning for each part of her soul. But just as things were about to proceed, a loud scream came from outside the hall.
If Janelle didn't know any better, the night here was going to be relatively short. Because that was Winry that just screamed. The chaos started, and Ling quickly, yet gently moved the brunette to the side of him, and lifted himself off the bed, "Wait here." She already knew what was going to happen, and tried to wave him back over, but he was already out the door making the girl sigh before she looked up at the ceiling, hearing a bunch of commotion between people yelling and asking questions that were being unanswered. Then Greed's voice suddenly came, "What the hell is going on out here?" Still the ranting went on, and slowly but surely Janelle made her way off the bedside and made her way towards the door frame until she heard with a strict and booming voice, "GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" Janelle dipped her head forward only to see the chimeras, the men from Briggs and Greed sprawled out from Winry's wrench attack in front of her.
The men growled, some cursing before Greed sat his head up and fell back against the floor with a hand to his temples. Janelle wouldn't help it the smile that brushed against her lips, and tried to cup her mouth as it became more apparent. From an open eye, the avarice noticed and slightly smiled himself when he saw the girl's reaction, "Are you laughing at our pain?" He wasn't serious, he didn't even sound serious, but then another thought seemed to cross his mind when he asked her, "You knew didn't you. You knew this was going to happen." She shrugged and pointed to him her smile brighter than ever as she just shook her head, I tried to warn you
Suddenly someone else began to make themselves known. They were coming up the stairs, and looked at the sprawled out men on the floor to the brunette, "What in the world, who are you people?" Then she looked to the open door of her granddaughter, and her brows raised in surprise, "Winry? Is that you?" The two blondes looked from their own squabbles and the blonde could only smile seeing her grandmother which probably to her was an eternity. Janelle knew that look, it was the same look she gave her own grandma when she saw her, "Hi granny, it's good to see you again." Around this time, Janelle had walked out of the room and over Pinako who looked back at the hazel eyed girl approaching, "Janelle? Is that you?" She nodded smiling and waving at them.
"Janelle?"
"Oh yeah, well she's a friend of ours." Ed interjected not wanting to say more than that for now, "Ah, well it's nice to meet you dear, I'm Pinako Rockbell." Janelle smiled even more and put out her hand to shake hers, "Ah manners too, but don't talk much huh?" She nodded again with an apologetic look, but Ed was kind enough to explain, "Another thing I might need to explain. You see, she and a friend of hers ran into a snag, and well, she kind of lost the ability to speak."
"Oh," The woman seemed shocked, but only frowned softly, "Well, I'm very sorry miss," Then she gave her hand a comforting squeeze, "I'm sure it's been hell for everyone lately. And since we're all here why don't we go down stairs to discuss all of this."
"Sure. Alright you hear the woman everyone downstairs. You all can sleep and cuddle some other time."
"Screw you Ed." Replied Hienkel, Darius grumbling under something under his breath afterwards. The only was left on the ground now was Bido who was knocked unconscious, "Heh, come on Bido that means you too." The lizard groaned at his boss's words getting Janelle to help him up when he had a bit of trouble finding his balance, "Owe, that girl hits hard." The brunette just gave a silent giggle, then gave a quick glance to the avaricious who did the same to her, both of them smiling to one another before Greed patted his friends back, "It could've been worse. Look on the bright side."
"Bright side? There's a bright side to getting knocked in the head?"
"Yeah," He replied proudly wrapping an arm around the lizard's neck, "You're about to be an uncle, let that sink in for a minute." Janelle was almost blushing red at the comment feeling Greed's Cheshire cat like grin on her before physically feeling his other arm wrap around her waist and a kiss her on the cheek.
How could she not feel excited? Shocked? Scared? Happy? Paranoid? So many of the same emotions and so many different scenarios and questions falling into her head. It was still hard to believe for her as she held her stomach, thinking of the little one dwelling inside her. Her throat trying hard not to show a waver. But it was the inevitable and once she got a professionals opinion, Janelle was sure now even more so that she was expecting.
Just then, Janelle stop mid way down the stairs, and maneuvered out of Greed's grasp to make him and Bido stop as well, watching as the girl jogged back upstairs, "What's with her?"
"I don't know. Jan? You alright?" Everyone from down stairs looked to the stairs hearing a bit of fumbling before a second later Janelle came back down with the bowl of her apples and honey, a smile that beamed from ear to ear upon her face before she took one in her mouth biting into it with the sound of the crispy apple between her teeth, "Yep. Definitely fine."
