Chapter 21: Promises on the Promise Day


If there is one thing life is good at, it's creating windows of many opportunities, and only giving so many signs of direction towards the path of getting it right the first time with minimal foul ups. So what happens when the opportunity you chose, and wanted more than anything becomes what it truly wasn't or what you expected? That when you are given a choice between the riches of money, and power, and the riches of family and friends? Of love. When does that choice become so difficult to someone? Or simple? I tell ya, it wasn't for me. I didn't realize I could have it all if I just gave up one thing. My goal to have this world to myself.

"Stop that! I can't be stealthy if you're trying to anticipate coitous!" Janelle spat whispering behind her. This guy was unbelievable, here she was trying NOT to get caught by Central Commands Commandos, and all Greed could do was get a quick grope of her ass to get him chuckling in her ear.

The entire place was crawling with soldiers, now that the news of the Furher King Bradley had been blown away in his train, but that was a whole another plot line that Jenny wished not to think about. She wasn't even sure she should be near that man this time around, not only for the previous attack on her, but now for the news of her unborn child only being an awful temptation that Wrath would surely use against Greed, hell, it had worked before, why not now. Janelle wanted to avoided that out come at all cost. She could see it happening if she wasn't careful. It was the only thing making her paranoid besides her and Greed getting caught now, "I can't help it your ass is so squeezable. I mean look at it, that's a cute butt."

"Shut up." She wanted to scream but just as she almost did the avarice hushed her gentle when someone walked passed them. Whoever it was didn't see them though, for the two were hiding in a near by janitor closet trying to get to the final top floor of Central Headquarters building. From what Greed mentioned, it's suppose to be the Headquarters only real suite in the place. And he knew when and how to get into it. At least, from what he could remember. Once the person had disappeared around the next hallway, Greed took Janelle's hand and carefully made his way up the stairs to the next story, hopefully being able to bypass any more interferences while they were amongst their own enemy.

"Well, well, there it is." Just as they made it pass the staircase, snug behind an office plant, the avarice Greed and threw his thumb to the destination, "Ready to take a gander?"

"I'm confused, what if someone sees us? Or finds us there? Are we going to tell them we got lost looking for the bathroom? We don't even have uniforms."

"Easy darlin' I've got it taken care of. This room isn't just any room. It rarely ever gets used unless someone highly important had, 'Come to visit.'" When he relayed this to her he used his fingers as quotation signs, hoping she'd catch on but she only looked at him funny, "Like…"

"It's like an extra special room for VIP's. No one is allowed in the room without the Furher being present. But now that the Furher is considered gone…I'll show it to you."

"Oh dear god we're gonna get caught and die here aren't I?" She seemed to feel a ting of regret for following him this far, but it was too late now.

"That's not funny now come on, and stop being such a chick."

"I-,…oh never mind." She knew she had no choice, Janelle was being pulled by Greed the moment the close was clear. Janelle wasn't going stop when she saw two soldiers walk by, one of them being-, surprisingly, Kimblee.

He seemed like he was going for a ride, and from Janelle knew, she looked at him grimly when they made it to the door finally. But the thing was locked of course, until Greed stuck a claw into the door and somehow 'magically' opened it. She wanted to scoff at how skilled he was at opening it with just his ultimate shield, but the avarice had already pulled her into the room before anyone noticed.

Little did they notice a certain alchemist looking back at the sound of the door clicking. At first, Kimblee waited there, scanning the area over and over again before he felt content enough to move forward.

While he better things to do, Janelle was now stuck on the room she had been yanked into scanning the diameter and the set up of the large room.

It was breathtaking. The room was set up to have a downstairs that had its only little library corner, a large seating area one could literally sleep in if they wished it. On the other side was a gigantic window that could bee looked from the top of the metal stairs spiraling up to the top where a King bed laid. Just to the right of it, the bathroom and on the left, besides the window, was a door. Of what the girl wasn't sure, but she could tell from the smirk on the avarice's face he had a pretty good idea of what it was. The room was outline in a purple and red, the walls covered by curtains that were stretched by gold poles, the entire ensemble. It was certainly a glorious room, one that Janelle had only seen in magazines and the internet, "Oh my god."

"It's nice right?"

"It's…wow! Just wow." She laughed ecstatic, walking towards the window took take a peak at the beautiful view, "Greed it's beautiful up here."

"Heh, yeah. One of my favorites." He chuckled lightly, his mind becoming suddenly fogged with past experiences, the sound of him old self making an oath to fill this room with gorgeous women, and have Central at their mercy. Now, he had this room filled with one woman. One woman that seemed more gorgeous than all the women he could fit into the room they stood in, his mind as well as Ling's filling with one question, Greed.

Not now

She needs to know. I need to go back to Xing. Whether or not you want to stay and take over…How will you take care of her and the baby in a small room like this?

It will work. I'll make it work.

Listen to yourself.

I am. Stay out of this you…

I'm its father too Greed. That is my child as much as it is yours and you know it. And that child will need a stable home. I'm not saying you can't have the world, but isn't there things more important than just material possessions? If Central is attack in the future Janelle and our child will be in danger. You can't leave them here Greed. It's…Just not safe. Janelle should have a say so in what she wants from this. The avarice growled under his lips, getting the girl's attention by accident when she turned to him, seeing the look on his face, and the way he was staring to the side. When he saw the worried gaze in her orbs he sighed and straighten himself, "Sorry."

"What's going on? Something bugging?" She was already making her way over, her hands rubbing his shoulders to melt away some of the stress, "Mm, more than you know." When she was finished, she gave him a sympathetic look, something nagging at her to keep digging, "Alright, spill it. Tell me."

"Eh, I…don't want to make this awkward doll, it can wait…"

"Would you ever tell me to wait to tell you something important, even if it didn't seem important to me?" The thought made him chuckle and put his hands to her hips, "No. I guess not."

"Come on, you can tell me anything Greed. I promise, I won't get mad."

"Thanks…." He trailed off, collecting his questions, and which one he would want to ask the most. His heart never felt so hard against his chest when it pounded, his own confusions and undecided decisions making him breathe uneasy, "I've-, I've been meaning to…ask you…" Greed was stumbling bad, it had to be something important, and the more it seem to become hard for him to speak. What do I want to say? Stay with me? She isn't going with Ling that's for sure. We're not going to Xing…We're not. We're-, "Greed? Please tell me. I want to know what's wrong. To be honest, you're scaring me." She laughed lightly, but he could see the look on her face, getting the avarice to regret his intention to tell her. Was this really the time to do this? This could be there last day together, and all he could think about was Janelle, "I can't do this…" He finally spoke, "Huh? Do what? You mean…what we're-," From the look of her face and her eyes they spoke of something dreadful, something Greed couldn't even think of doing and he quickly corrected it, "No nothing like that! Just…" He took a deep breath and leaned in to speak the words with care, something he was never good at, "I'm curious to know where we stand…On-, when…" He stopped himself and sighed in frustration. He was always so good at speaking his mind, why was this time so much more harder than any of the other times they spoke? When he had collected himself he stared deeply into the girl's eyes, "When this is all over, are you planning on wanting to stay here in Central, or do you want to go to Xing?" There was silence when he asked this, her heart stopping in her chest and her eyes fluctuating to show him it did alarm her. She was aware that this question would come to pass, but she didn't expect it to be now.

But then…When would it be? With Greed so confident he would live and Janelle still trying to ponder her way of keeping him alive all together, it was hard enough not to say she didn't want to stay with them both. Because she truly did. But how was Greed going to stay in Central when Ling was determined to go to Xing? "I…Greed…Ling…Both of you, I don't want to have to choose my child's home. We need both of you. And Greed…If…" she stopped choking back, feeling hormonal and emotional as hell when she felt the next words leave her lips, "If you want to go and rule the world I don't want to stop you. If you-,"

"I will make it." He said bluntly. It came off rude, but Janelle knew otherwise, and only smiled softly, almost in sadness, "Right. When you make it, and you're open to…New found freedom, do you really want to stay bounded to a child and a woman? Won't you want more than that?" It was a question he had been asking himself since Resembol, since he tangled himself in this alien that's rocked his world. He wanted to say he did want more, he did want the riches of the worlds, and more, but this hole inside him…It was filling the more she spoke, and when she gave him the most saddest look, he couldn't help but frown in guilt, his own face falling in despair, "You tell me…Won't you?" She knew what he meant.

That book. It was always there, reminding her of what he knew, what he learned what he wanted in the end. And when she thought about it, tearing up and smiling pulling Greed's balled fist to her stomach, letting his hand softly relax into an open one to feel the warm of her stomach through the thin shirt she worn. and the other she wrapped around her waist as she nuzzled her head into his chest, pondering what she wanted to tell him since the beginning, "I'll be clear now that I can speak. I've made my decision on staying, because you guys wanted me to stay. But not just because that's what you want…Because I wanted it too. It feels weird holding your child, to be pregnant with a sins child. But I'm happy too. I also want you to be happy to Greed. If you don't want to be tied down no one is forcing you to do so. I know what Ling wants, it's up to you to know what you want…And no matter what it is, I will be okay with it."

"Even if I wanted to leave huh?" He was joking, but a part of him was truly curious, "Yes. I don't want to control your life. I know what it feels like to live a life filled with lies. And I refuse for you to become fake with me. Not like you ever would being how honest you are and all…But still, whatever happens I can't hold it against you. So…Just to be clear on your behalf…"

"I'm not going anywhere." His simple, deep, and passionate reply left Jan blushing and speechless, unable to say anything as she smiled at him attempting to look away before he pulled her into a deep kiss, "Bastard…"

"Can't be helped I've made up my mind. You are going to be with me when this is all over. I don't usually call things mine so easily you know. I hold them accountable for agreeing to the terms." He smirked mischievously and raised his brows to give that cocky Cheshire cat like feature that nearly made her squeak. She resisted with a clearing of her throat and a small smile, "And what does sir Ling think of all this?"

"He knows what I know…"

Yeah, more than you're saying

I'm going to, don't rush me

Greed, now is the time. Do it, or you may never get another chance

"So…What does that mean for you…" She pushed him back a bit, his lips resistant to cease before he pulled back and saw the skeptical gaze she held, "Where do you want to be when this is all over?" The question sent a chill up his spine, and his mind went blank. You'd think it be easy to say here in Central where he could look over his world from a view like they could see. But it wasn't, instead he stared at Jen blankly, his lips parting to speak, but nothing coming out, "I…" When he couldn't answer he sighed through his nose, and kissed her hard only to pull away just as quick, "I want to rule the world with you. That's what I want."

"Why not just settle for a little less and come to Xing with us. Surround yourself with friends and family. Wouldn't it…Wouldn't it get boring being alone?"

"I won't be alone, I'll have you."

"But we can't live here Greed." She assured. There was a silence, and a grim feature took the avarice's eyes, "So you don't want to stay in Central?"

"We can't live in HQ or underground Not with a baby. It's not safe, unhealthy-, Look…" Her grip on him tighten and she embraced him tightly, lovingly, on the brink of trying to keep herself from shaking, "I'm scared too. I'm terrified. I don't know what's going to happen today, but whatever does I want to be with you both. What terrifies me more is knowing you guys are fighting over where to be after this, when all I can think about is whether or not you're going to live."

"You're still-,"

"All the time. Every second." Her embrace was so tight he had to hold her back with just as much force when her eyes began to fill with tears, each one more blinding than the last, "Until we get passed this and Father is destroyed there isn't going to be rest for me. I don't…I can't…" She swallowed and hid her face in his shoulder, letting her tears soak the fabric so he could never see them, "I can't watch you die. It's so different being in a reality I thought as nothing but a story, and now…The thought of your death makes my stomach churn, it makes me…oh god-," Suddenly, Janelle gave in an unsteady breath and pulled away abruptly, "Janelle..?" She literally sprint the nearest toilet, of course which had to be upstairs sadly enough, and when she did Janelle already had her head placed in the toilet, vomiting once again she held on for dear life. Once she had a minute to breath she leaned her head on her forearm, sniffling away the fluids that attempted pass her nose before she took some tissue and wiped it away, unaware of the homunculus unnoticeable making his way behind her, and standing on the other side of the wall with a solemn, and sympathetic look on his face.

He could see the exhaustion in her face, and as he thought about it, it had been awhile since she had proper nourishment. When she went at again, the avarice cringed and shook his head of his trouble and worried thoughts, not wanting to think about what she said especially after how upset it already made her. After she was completely finished she laid back against the wall closest to her, and laid her head against it, only getting Greed to help her to her feet with a confused feature taking her face, "Come to the bed, you can rest there."

"Greed I'm fine-,"

"Please, for me." Janelle wanted to say she was really fine, that it was just the morning sickness, but seeing the face he was making only made her do as he ask with a resilient smile, "Alright."

"I'll get you some water, wait here." She didn't say anything, and laid back getting relaxed and closing her eyes for a moment as she took in the sight again, the calming smell that was actually helping her sickness. Then she looked over at Greed who was searching through a small mini bar for Janelle to munch on. He wasn't sure what he was looking for, but whatever he could find is what he assumed would help.

Water and crackers. He didn't even have to try, but Janelle had to ask as he laid the food on the night stand and handed her the water, "Did you already know what to get?"

"Huh? It was really all they had. Unless we decide to call for services, but that may only cause suspicion." The girl couldn't help the giggle that arose, attempting to drink as much water as possible before putting the empty cup down, "Well, for the future, crackers and water, and ice chips are very good for pregnant women when they're nauseous. I was just surprised to see that you knew, but…It was just by luck. Pretty good luck if you ask me."

"Heh, but now I know for next time." He then reach over and cupped her face to kiss her forehead and pull away before she stopped him, and kissed him again, this time softly, but with vigor, and a small whimper as she embraced him, and pecked his lips in desperation.

He didn't know what could have come over her but he had a good idea of what it was. After getting overly excited the only thing she could think to do was this, her own sadness responding with kisses and tight embraces. When she was finished kissing him Janelle pulled back to smile and cupped his face, staring at him lovingly before she gave him on last peck, "I don't care what you say…I love you, Greed. No matter what happens to us in the future I just want you to know that." He didn't know what but the sound of her saying those words made him fluster, his cheeks slightly pink before he responded back in a mumble, quietly. Only loud enough for her to hear it even though there was really no one else…Besides the obvious other of course, but still saying it send a chill down his spine, "Do you know what it feels like to have you say that?"

"Because I'm not calling you a big fat jerk this time?" He chuckled at her and kissed her hard, "I love you too…" He replied back almost unable to believe he actually said it, only more hooked on the fact that Janelle had just sincerely told him she loved him.

No one had ever told him they loved him. Whether brotherly or otherwise, distributing love the way she intended was more than he could handle, and finally hearing while she looked at him in such a loving way all Greed could do was lean in and kiss her with a gruff tone, "But…Say it again." The last words were mumbled, making Janelle lean in to watch his face chance, "What?" Then he moved into her, "You heard me…Say that-," He froze looking away, this time almost worrying the girl before he gazed back into her eyes with almost a sadden feature, "Say that you love me." Jan couldn't help the giggle that left her and the flush cheeks that came after, but with a bite of the girl's lip she obliged him, pulling herself into his lap as he gladly took her sides, the man's loins beginning to ache just by the mere position of her body, of her hand being placed tenderly on his chest, her fingers slowly making its way up to the collar to pull the avarice in close, "You know that I love you." then she pressed her forehead to his, eyes closed by heart filled with an overwhelming joy Janelle could in no way describe, she just…Felt. In return Greed could see it, and also closed his eyes in return sensing and hearing the girl's silent breathing, hope happy she sounded when she sighed content of her words, "I love you to death and beyond, Greed the avaricious." From the inside and out his body filled with shivers, his teeth clenching when he began to feel his throat tighten, his own expression becoming unreadable, and frantic. She could see it, and felt her heart nearly drop when he suddenly leaned in and grabbed a tight hold of the girl throwing himself back against the bed, but not without getting a mouth full of his woman to make her squeak and giggle, her arms on both sides of him and her head tilted to the side to get a better deep feel of his tongue coiling around hers, with his lips smacking hard and passionately against hers.

Where he felt in control, a part of him felt some kind of animalistic need to make her his right here on the bed. And though he would have to keep as gentle as possible, he wished for nothing more than one last magical morning if his end were to really come. The thought was completely discarded when a tinge of anger made him blank out, and begin to already pull at her clothes. Janelle's lips slipped from Greed's his saliva and tongue sticking out a bit before he smirked with hands shielded over up and over his shoulders to make Janelle bite her lip when she felt his claws softly rake into her. Her finger nails ran over his sleeves, and up over his chest to open his jacket, and shirt all in one go. Greed did the same to her, using his skilled fingers to snap her button apart from the jeans, then he pulled them down off her ass and groped it, his cock trying hard to stay hidden…until Janelle went for his pants rubbing her hands and fingers over his bulge to feel him buck under her touch, resisting a loud groan, "D-damn it…"

"It's so hard." She whimpered wet at the feel of him, how excited he'd get just by her alone.

"Then stop touching it…Unless you plan on doing more than teasing the hell out of me. That's just cruel babe." He then reached down himself and softly slipped in a digit with ease, then a second, "Ah! s-so you do the same to me?" She whined back pulling off his shirt while he started to miraculously swirl them deep inside her to make Janelle gasp back and groan loudly, Greed chuckling darkly, "Well, I do know how to play dirty." He pulled them out from her already soaked area, and placed the wet fingers in his mouth, sucking away the essence the best he could before moaning, and stripped the girl of her pants, and shirt. Greed disposed of his clothes as well, and laid his back against the mat, turning Janelle around on top of him so her bottom was towards his face, her legs shaking and her blossom wet above him.

He hissed at the sight of her, hard as a rock with his shaft proudly pulsing in front of her. The girl was panting herself at the sight of his swelling cock, ticking back and forth like it was begging for her. Suddenly Janelle felt her thighs being grabbed just at the borderline of her plump butt. Then he spread her open, and lifted his head up to get his mouth at just the right angle, hearing a soft moan leave the girl before she began to move her hands against his own legs, holding herself up with a tremble when she felt his tongue begin to savagely lick at her, his tongue so hot that the contact made her moan and jump forward, "Mm…" He muffled deep inside her blossom, devouring every corner and every soft surface he could tease and torment. She could only moan back, moving her hips back and forth to the movement of his mouth, feeling everything he was doing to her, darting his tongue in and out, until he was fucking her with his muscle, pulling back out to intake any remaining essence that tried to slip away.

It became even more encouraging when she would moan with such a harsh rasp. It was actually really sexy, and something that kept Greed flicking his tongue faster and faster against her clit before slurping back to get a wonderful taste of her most sensitive area. With Janelle trying to resist every sound she pushed her bottom back, leaning her face forward till she grabbed the man's length and began to stroke him with a long soft rhythm. The avarice groaned at the feeling, her touch and voice he had dearly missed had already driven him to this point, ready to finally take her so he could keep his promises from before. Getting her voice back, wanting to hear that she loved him, even though Ling was the one to ask this prior, he felt the same, he didn't need to point out the obvious . Weeks, almost a month without hearing her, and he wasn't even sure if he was going to die tomorrow. He wanted to hear every aspect of her tones, and high pitched screams, until the whole world would come crashing down in flames.

"Oh G-Greed…" When she slipped the name from her lips he nearly lost it, feeling his cock twitch from her tightening grip and squirming hips, his tongue was so rapid that it was taking everything he could muster to keep himself from turning her around and…. Nope, it was too late, he was already at that point, seeing flashes of her face as if it would disappear, his life flashing before his eyes. It was pissing him off, like the feeling of doubt was consuming him, and he was scared shitless of ever losing her face, or the sound of her giggles, and smart ass remarks. Her sounds of bliss. The sound he was hearing now. Even as he pushed her forward and sat them up in a lotus position, her ass pressed against his stomach and he lost it, groaning back desperately as he started a deep, slow motion, his lips close to her ear so she could hear every sound that he would make, her own noises making him smile a bit when he gasped back at the feel of her tight sleeve fit flawlessly around him. The feel of her walls were always so hot and welcoming, never had he been disappointed by her, her body responded to him so well, and he was definitely feeling the same.

His tip of his shaft was just rubbing up against the folds so delicately that her entrance twitched at the tease, and he made no attempt to stop. Greed eased himself in with knitted brows, a bliss filled moan that even made Janelle responded back to with just as a delighted moan as him and tightened area, her limbs finding a comfortable seat in the avarice's lap.

They both knew they only had a few hours left to themselves before their time would be given to saving what they considered their world. It was so weird to think like that, but Janelle's thoughts were just as deep in drowning, and deluded as her imagination, her body trembling like crazy when she sank into his curves, their lips finding one anothers like magnets when Janelle began to whimper softly at every slow buck of the man's hips, his nails scratching up her ass until he reached her hips sides and made the brunette's own lower half move to his pace, her chest and bottom bouncing with every thrust, and every face and sound she made only heightened Greed's high, his mind falling into its own haze while he watched the girl from behind, her lips releasing each angelic moan and gasp until her throat was dry, and her eyes were glossed over with ecstasy when she had glanced back at him, biting her lip with even more whimpers to subdue him into fucking her faster.

He did comply, never losing eye contact when his hands moved from her hips to her face and frontal pelvis to get a hard grip on the woman, his body beginning to move faster but still so softly, as if afraid to hurt her and the baby, his lips becoming hard yet tender. He was…Making love to her. The way he was moving. This wasn't just about sex. He wanted their last moments to feel like an eternity of bliss, a bond that could slow down time until he froze them in the now.

When Jen began to feel the difference in his passionate movements, she noticed something in his eyes, something that scared her to death when he suddenly panted close to her, his own humanoid eyes filling with despair and yet a harden resolve that she could see illuminating from him. She knew what he was feeling, and as she continuously moved to his tender pummeling, she felt her heart drop in her chest, and her eyes water when he breathlessly whispered to her in a croaked tone, "I don't want to ever leave you…"

"Then don't. Don't-," She shook her head of the overwhelming sadness taking her, drowning herself this time in the pleasure, and his deep hard kiss, his own shield starting to take over his body before it took his face. Janelle hadn't even noticed since she had closed her eyes so lost in her avarice that she could only try to feel and hold onto him as long as she possibly could, but when she opened her eyes, she came to find his skull-like features had taken his face, startling her until he was gripping her around the shoulders, hitting her spot with even more force when her answer came quick. He smirked tenderly, his eyes softening, but his body still moving so skillfully against hers, "I had…I had a feeling you'd get a kick out of this." She squeaked when he turned her around, and laid her on the bed with her back towards the mattress and her core still filled with him inside her, his pace ceasing for merely a second before he continued his rhythm, getting now an even better sight of their connection, and the look on the girl's gorgeous distorted face.

He pulled her hips down on him, no giving any movement to work. He wanted to do it all, panting loudly when he felt the throbbing his in loins grow, and Janelle walls tighten around him so hard it caused a friction of heat. They both muffled noises, Janelle from cupping her mouth with her hands, and Greed only encouraging her but growling deeply when he began to buck his hips upwards, getting a more sensitive and special spot that almost felt like a nerve ending being prodded.

And it was phenomenal. Absolutely breath taking that it almost seemed like Janelle's world had began to slow down and blur before her eyes, the only thing that grabbed her attention from the midst of euphoria was his grunting voice, his sweet teasing nothings that drove her wild until he lace his hands with hers, and pulled their intertwined palms above her head. Then Greed spread out his legs to force Jenny's legs open wide. Everything was going incredibly, the sense of their coition coming to an end soon, very soon. From the feel of Janelle's tender insides, and new changes, her walls almost felt restricting the closer she became to climax, while the bed shook but never banged, for the bed was so huge, and literally imbedded into the wall that it had become almost unbearable not to be able to hear it. So Greed found a different strategy, hoping it would help ease her tenderness from the change, but still be able to give her an astonishing end.

He lifted himself a bit, putting her knees close to her chest while he kneels in front of her to grab a hold of her feet, making sure to barely leave her, hearing a gasp and another extraordinary sound when he thrust his hips forward. He was penetrating her while controlling the movement and supporting her balance to make their orgasm heightened into the clouds. Everything was cloudy, everything, " Oh god, I've been missing that pretty little voice of yours, so fucking much, I've been missing it bad." He held onto her hips hard, and gripped on tight while she pressed her feet into his chest, their moans getting louder and louder when the new angle gave him extra control and deeper plunges into her juicy walls, "You hearin' me Janelle…? Every time you moan I was to explode inside of you, fill you again and again, and again." He called to her, her own name getting the said girl to tear up from the unspeakable nerves being hit, only descending when they finally reached on the verge of climax. But something stopped Greed. Something (or someone) was causing his movements to slow down causing the ache in his cock to almost hurt, "Nn-n-gh, fuck, L-Ling…You bastard." He grunted hard, loud enough for the girl to hear it, and gasp softer than the man above her could catch, with nearly a heart attack when she heard the name that passed his lips. What he did just say? "What? Ah, n-no, no don't…" Was all she could manage through the light heaving and her voice quivering. He growled this time and groaned looking down at Jenny with a grinned and a tint in his eyes. A look that made her blink back, as if she had…No, she was. She was feeling both Ling and Greed at the same time. It was-, beyond the word of excited. She was actually experiencing one of her deepest darkest fantasies, like he had proven once before. And the two boys were only making it worse, causing Janelle's voice to soar with each feel of their cock embedding into her so wonderfully. God it felt so fucking good, too good to be real.

And Greed just grinned at the blissful expression passing over her face, seeing that his woman was enjoying this greatly, his teeth stretching out more as he leaned his face to hers, just enough for her to hear over the sounds of her own cries, "Oo, looks like we found a special button huh Ling?…I can feel her squeezing me. Mm squeeze me more...More." She moaned louder at his teasing husk tone and held onto them as much as she could with her face contorted in the sweet agony of coitus. His teeth began to show, and Greed's grunts had become almost in harsh frustration, to the point the would've mauled her if not for the fact that she pulled herself up to capture his lips in a hard lip-lock, their last final thread to break when they hit the climax. Their muffles cries were theirs and theirs alone, the sounds so subduing to the others ears that Greed, as well as Ling, had broken their chain of trying to stay slow and soft, when he attempted to hold back to make the moment last, the boys began to plow into the girl without notice, her mouth breaking from her so he could bite down on her bottom and suck on it when pulled out, just in time to rub his hot member against her most sensitive area, and spill onto her pelvic, stomach, even a little on her breast to make the avarice nearly lose his mind again at the sight of her covered in his essence. The two were left looking back into each others eyes in wonder and utter exhaustion.

They were both drinking the air like water, bodies beaded in sweat, and lips barely placed above the others. Greed was stuck his eyes showing that he was oblivious, and still stuck in his ultimate shield form before he suddenly put the girls legs down, and shifted next to her, both of them almost hurting to move from their wonderful position. They never wanted this to end. If Janelle could have any ability right now, it would've been to freeze this moment, and to never let it go.

And when Greed had already returned human, he turned Janelle towards his front,

wrapping an arm around her fragile little body, seeing her body drained of literally everything that left her standing. Well, if she were standing. He smiled at that, even chuckled, dazed but feeling alive even though he felt disconnected from his body, almost having an outer body experience, and feeling slight tingles of the aftermath. By the way he was running his fingers up the girls spine, she was having them too, shaking and shivering from the touch while they continued to give one another light kisses, lips smacking so softly that when they pulled away the invited the Eskimo kisses that followed after, his nose brushing against Janelle's while she rubbed his chest, in silence. In content.

Tranquil.

It was so peaceful that the two actually fell asleep for a good two to three hours before Greed found himself awaken by the sound of the door again. Not just any door, but a big door. Something large in a massive size. And then the sound of a child crying. In distress. Then the sound of static awoke him from sleep. He arose from the bed, shifting the mattress to his growing nightmare. It was official though, something was happening to him, these dreams…These sounds were no coincidence, the door? The kid? The sound of that woman. Even Ling was seeing the same dreams as him. Which made the young prince asked as Greed turned to see Janelle gone, and sound of running water coming from the luxurious bathroom, Greed…D-Did…Did you see

You mean heard? Yeah. Ling, you've got a better sense on these kind of…things.

Meaning? He asked wanting to know where he was getting at, which only made Greed fall back onto the pillow sighing deeply, almost unnerved by the sound of the baby's cry he heard. It actually made his stomach churn and his head swim when he began to repeat the sounds, and put the two similar dreams he had previous together. None of it made sense, either he was so close to death that he could hear his own child crying to him, or…There was something unexplainable happening, and Ling knew it too, he just had to, That sound of the door…Is it the door Ed, and Janelle keep talking about. The same one they mentioned that needs a toll or payment to pass it.

It's the only explanation. But why? Why the dreams? Why us? Shouldn't Janelle be having them instead of us?

Yeah… He trailed off, an idea popping into his head But-, maybe…She knows something about it as well

Are you going to plan on asking?

Well I'm not planning on keeping this to myself now am I? I'm-, we're hearing children crying in pain, what kind of shit is that!

I hate it. It makes me…Angry to hear it, because I can't do anything, but apart of me also feels like…like-,

That child is somehow our responsibility?

Something like that. But, it also…If that…B-Baby is-,

Don't. Greed started in a whisper, putting a knee to his chest as he held it with an arm, squeezing it hard when he flexed, balling his fist, Just- don't.

Greed…We need to know. I need to know. If that is our child in distress, if somehow our child soul is in danger, I want to stop it. That's my child crying, I know it is, I can feel it!

None the less…We can't just tell her off the bat that we want to investigate the screaming, but I really want to know if she's had any similar dreams.

How do you plan on doing that?

I don't know. I just-, I need to tell her. Or you, somebody needs to.

Well, if you think you can handle it big boy By the tone in Ling's voice it almost sounded as if he was trying to taunt the homunculus but Greed merely shook his head, and rubbed his eyes of frustrations, and sleep, almost on the verge of losing himself in completive actions until he turned his attention back to the bathroom close by, the sound of the girl humming to herself caused Greed to soften his uncomfortable expression, and turn it solemn before he arose from the mat making his way to the bathroom with the door already ajar.

From where he stood he could see steam releasing from the frame, and Janelle's humming had seemed louder, yet soothing. It was like she was humming a lullaby. When Greed had opened it wider the steam receded when he walked quietly inside, hearing Janelle begin to put words to her mumbled music tune so sweetly.

The avarice smirked a bit, feeling his troubles already starting to fade when he got closer, and closer. When he finally made it to the shower curtain, he pulled it back to find Janelle faced towards him but eyes closed as she washed the soap from her hair. It was the perfect opportunity for him to catch her face in his hands, almost scaring the girl before she gasped in the kiss, then sighed in relief and smiled when she realized what just happened. To be sure she could see though, Greed made sure to wait until most of the conditioner was out before sneaking up on the poor girl, not that she minded, in fact she enjoyed the rush, and only deepened the kiss to wrap her arms around him, and bring him side ways into the hot welcoming water. He loved it, even gave a soundless sigh when he felt the shower pressure hit his legs and torso. Being lost in the girl's morning kiss, he only found himself touching her back, frame, and curves, arms, hands, and neck until his hands had reached her face again.

All in all it was becoming a more relaxing morning like he wanted, as he had hoped for. Yet the question still bubbled to the top of his mind, but he refused to ask her here. If anything, he wanted some time before springing it on her. He knew what it meant asking her this, and could only imagine the expressions she would conjure at the sound of his big question.

Little did Greed realize, that as he thought this, and the two had pulled away to look back at one another, Janelle could already read the weird look on his face. Not necessarily his face exactly, but, something about the affliction in his eyes, "Good morning." He started obviously seeing her own expression start to change as well, "You okay?" Her voice was so soft, caring, her hands couldn't help but cup his handsome face, and the avarice welcomed it with a soft smirk, "For now." He caressed a cheek, then kissed her lips one last time before grinning, "Any way you'd let me wash up real quick princess?"

"Sure." She said with a bright smile, "And no need for the princess, please. It's…"

"Weird?" He asked curiously, his face grinning all goofy like as he took a hold of a fresh bar of soap that Janelle had been using, and pulling out the ribbon from his hair to wash away of this mornings events, "And besides you are going to be a princess, being Ling's girlfriend and all are you not?"

"indeed, but I don't think I'm very much 'princess' material."

"On the contrary. A few lessons in the waltz, and some classes on manners you'll be good enough to be a queen, I guarantee it." She appreciated the avaricious saying that, but serious, was he joking? Her? A princess? It was hard for her to imagine, but she smirked at the notion, and kissed his chin in his mid rinse. He seemed to have welcomed it with a gaze down to her, and pecked her lips before Jan moved aside to let him finish up with his hair, "Well, I appreciate the thought Greed, but seriously, that's something we can think about after we beat your 'pops' to the ground."

"Heh, yeah. Deep down into the ground. You know you don't have to stay in here just on my account." He urged nudge her with his hip getting them body to wobble and titter a bit, Greed smirking like an idiot while Janelle smiled back just as brightly, holding him a little closer after he had finished soaping and rinsing his hair, "It's not like that. In the wise words of a prince, I'm spending as much as time with you as possible. And that's until whenever that is, which means I'm not going anywhere." Then she touched her stomach, and smiled even more, proudly, "We're not going anywhere."

"Heh, yeah. I know." She could see that he was trying his hardest to smile, but for some reason, there was just something about him that was throwing her off. Like before his expression seemed disturbed. Her words seemed to make him uncomfortable. Now, she really did want to know what was bugging him, "Alright, you've been acting funny all morning, talk to me Greed, what's got you upset?"

"You're seeing things doll." He tried to lean in for a kiss, but she stopped him half way, looking into his eyes with such a sadness. A worry. She really did want to know, and little by little he was finding it hard to keep the secret to himself. It wasn't just about telling her, this nightmare had eaten at him, and needed her help. So, with a soft sigh through his nose, Greed stared the girl down with his own worries starting to settle in as he turned off the water, "Come on. I'll tell you once we're dressed."

"Why not-,"

"Please…It's important, and the shower isn't where I want to tell you." Janelle didn't know what to think. How serious was this, and what was she to expect. In the end she could only nodded and grab for some fresh towels to dry off. They came out, Greed wrapped around the waist, while Janelle had hers was drying her hair.

Minutes later they were nearly clothed, and the girl could barely keep her patience in tact when she finally turned from her button on her pants, and sat down on the bed with her elbows touching her knees while she stared down the homunculus already fitting his jacket, "So…" She trailed off only to ask, "What's so important?" And at first the humanoid had nothing, only repeating the dream in his mind like a broken record, and the more he saw it the more it seemed harder to tell her.

He feared not for himself, but for his child and Janelle's well being. In telling her this he knew it would upset her, but she needed to know what was happening, and if anything, find out if she had had similar visions/dreams.

His back was to her when he started, but he slowly turned back around only to take a careful seat next to his woman, propping her up from slouching, and grabbed the first hand he could find, holding it firmly. And his eyes…The frightened her, "Greed…?" She was beginning to worry more than usual when he saw the way his brows were knitted, the grim frown that made him seem like he was contemplating, "Please tell me what's wrong. You're scaring me."

"Yeah well…You maybe a little more scared after I tell you this but…I have a question to ask, and I need you to tell me if I'm just losing it, or…no, I know I'm not-,"

"Just tell me, please!" At this point she was beginning to panic, and the avarice nodded his eyes moving from hers to the floor, "Janelle…" But it didn't last long when he began to caress the top of her hands with his thumbs, "Have you had any dreams lately? Any…Nightmares?"

"You mean like before?"

"Yeah. About…A kid?"

"A kid? What do you mean? I don't understand." Of course, he hadn't given her much detail, and in return he gulped back a bit before giving the girl an intense gaze, "I've been having these dreams. Well, it happened twice actually but-, I think it might have to do something with the-,…" He couldn't even say it, seeing Janelle eyes seem so innocent as he told her this, the look of wonder was soon to diminish once he finished, "Baby."

"Baby? Wait-, I'm still confused, what are you trying to tell…me…wait…" Then she got it, "Are you telling me you're having dreams of the baby?"

"More than dreams doll, they're nightmares as I said. I've had this dream, where I can't really see anything, but I can hear everything that's happening…" He paused, still uncertain to mention it, yet the expression in Janelle's face, when she paled it confirmed everything, "And what I hear is a baby crying, and a door slamming. A really big door."

"Like a gate?" She asked almost in a whisper.

And Greed's eyes furrowed, "So it's true then. You've had the dream before too."

"I thought it was just a dream…But…" She arose from her spot in a daze, almost uncertain of where she was going when Greed had reluctantly released his hands from her, "Obviously it wasn't…" She slowly walked up to the large window like she had done when they first arrived, but this time she put her hands to it and then bumped her head against the glass with a very fearful look in her face. She looked terrified, almost on the verge of tears, "Oh god…Something's happening isn't it? Something's happening inside me and I don't know what it is."

"Do you know what any of this means Jen? And why am Ling and I having them." He tried to ask softly, but it only seemed to make Janelle panic a bit, "I don't know." She pondered with eyes closed, then turned back with confusion radiating from her gaze, "Can I talk to Ling?"

"Uh, sure-, can I ask-,"

"Chi, Greed, he can read Chi. Maybe he can feel the baby's to make sure it's okay?" She seemed almost about on the verge of frantic, but she was holding it together, rubbing her hand back and forth over her stomach, getting the avarice to quickly grab for her hands again, and sigh heavily, "Okay." The switch was quick, and again with a close of Greed's eyes, Ling appeared, his face falling from frown to a soft saddened smile, "Are you sure about this Jan. I know it's necessary, and I sure as hell want to know, but if I do this…You know what it might mean." The girl nodded, taking a deep breath with Ling to soon follow, "I need to know too. No matter how scared I am, I want to know my baby's okay." She whispered back desperately with one of her hands come up his arms, and gripping the sleeve. He smiled, happy at her answer, yet worried of what was ahead.

He stared down at her stomach, and Janelle moved back a bit, touching the back of his hand when it gently caressed her tummy. His breath shortened, but from what he felt the chi of the baby was fine, but, there was something off about it. He couldn't pin point it just yet, so he tried to concentrate harder, until he finally felt the ping he had been searching for. And it caused him to pull back almost yelping back, panting, and breaking out in an immediate cold sweat. He even had to find balance for himself when he tried to understand what just happened, "Ling!" And at his side Janelle was already trying to hold him steady while he attempt to hold onto her, his eyes distant and staring at the floor as if in a world of his own.

Whatever he saw it frightened Janelle, and her heart began to beat rapidly with her own face falling in deep worry, her eyes horrified of his face, and the look he was giving her, "God…"

"What did you see." Her voice was aching but she kept her composure, trying to as her own body began to shake, "Tell me please! How bad is it!" Once the prince could coherent make a sentence, he could only give her a grim look, and took a deep breath seeing the tears starting to threaten her shimmering orbs. So he wiped them away, only to have Janelle stop him, and beg helplessly, "Please…I need to know, Ling, I need-,"

"I know…I just…I don't understand it. This isn't just Chi, Janelle. Our child is connected to…Somewhere."

"Where?" She asked immediately, only to have him look at her, "Well, from what I saw…." He almost couldn't say it, afraid of whatever saw would be real. Who was he kidding, he already knew the answer, but…Just like Janelle he needed to know for sure, "It was a large double door with writing I didn't recognize… It was surrounded by a white plain, and…Something-, Someone was sitting just outside the door, looking back at me." He trailed off, remembering a few of the descriptions she had given him back in the past. When she had met truth in her dreams, like she was sleeping. Little by little, Ling and Janelle's minds began to sync up. The girl already what he was talking about but how could that be? How could he see Truth's door. And why was he suddenly having dreams like that? Was truth trying to tell them something, because in some way, the two were now bonded by this child inside them and truth, both of which left them both baffled of how the whole thing was even connected, "I believe it might be the portal Father spoke about. What Ed and you have mentioned before as well."

"So what does it all mean?" She asked tears coming again, and Ling there to catch him, kissing the girl's forehead over and over again until he was embracing her tightly, feeling his own fear envelope him, "I don't know, all I know is that the baby is trying to tell us something. Something big is going to happen. But it's hard to say what."

"You mean other than the end of the world." She laughed softly only to get Ling shake his head, "No. It will not be the end of the world. It will only be the end when we stop fighting for it." At this, the prince cupped her face lovingly, and kissed her softly, his forehead resting against hers, hair tangled in his fingers by accident, but he didn't care, he needed to give her hope, something to hold onto because he too needed something to keep him from losing his mind over the fact that whatever Father had planned, whatever this door meant, he would find out and stop their torment, "Just remember I'll have your back, okay? And you have mine, I know that. I will not let those monsters take you or my child away. Alright, I will not rest until we can go home in peace. I'll make sure of that, I promise."

To his words, Janelle could only wipe away what was left of her leaking face, and smile softly, confidently, believing every words that spilled from his lips, " You are good at keeping your promises." She started smiling sadly, but none the less welcomed his touch and small embrace, only to smile wider, "And I believe you. Every word."

"I'm glad." He replied softly, kissing her deeply and embracing her before sitting her on the bed, "Now from the sickly look on your face, I would say you're hungry huh?"

"A little. I do feel nauseous." She admitted shyly to get Ling to smile now and nodded with a soft chuckle seeping from his throat and releasing from his nose.

"Then don't you lift a finger, just sit back and I'll get you something."

"You don't have to-,"

"I want to." He replied not even bothering to give it a second thought before went to the mini fridge they had to find something. While he was occupied though, Janelle watched from afar, unable to stop smiling over his concern, even though he was quick to change the subject over something so deathly serious, but she couldn't blame him. She could tell it was his way of coping with the situation. She couldn't even stop holding her stomach while Ling was slicing up pieces of something on a small plate. Then he came to her side sitting it between them both, "Here. I cut up some apples for you, if that's okay. You seemed to be fond of them back at Ed's, and I think the last one."

"Oh…You're so thoughtful, thank you really." They both attempted to smile at each other, Ling more than the girl, trying to keep her mind other places than the worries that were clouding her judgment, "Hey." She slowly looked over to him, paranoia, fears, everything was riding on this, including her own baby's life, and her heart ached at the ideas, the what if's arising to the surface, of which Ling and Greed could read through every emotion she was feeling, everything she had gone through previous to their meet.

The lost of her first. He could only imagine the pain she was experiencing. But he wouldn't let the same thing happen twice. Not to her. He would protect his lover at all cost. He believed he'd even die trying, "Don't you fret. This is big, but I will make sure you and the baby are safe. No one is taking you fro me. No one. Besides, we have alchemy on our side, just remember to use it this time."

"I know. And I will." She nodded happily, her breath slightly uneasy as she took a bite of an apple slice, and leaned against her prince the best she could, Ling embracing her back with just as much, rubbing the side of her shoulder. Even Ling began to sneak pieces into his mouth, sticking in two between his fangs to get the girl to giggle when she looked up at him.

He chuckled back and fitted the two back into his mouth to eat them up, humming back at the sweet juicy bursting with flavor, "So good. I miss having a whole meal though."

"Well, I did still promise you a meal didn't I?"

"Heh, not really promised but yes, I do recall you mentioning something of that." He grinned at the idea, and Janelle laughed even more, giving a breathless sound afterwards before clearing her throat, "And I still intend to keep that. When this is all over, I 'm going to make you a meal fit for an Emperor."

"As long as you're there with me…" He smirked, his eyes opening a bit before he kissed Janelle softly, pulling back for her to answer, "Of course." With that he smiled, eyes still open enough for her to catch that small glimpse of blue shading in his dark black eyes, "I love you." He whispered finally, swallowing back.

"I love you too." It went silent for a minute, the two enjoying their last moments before chaos were bound to erupt. It was all a matter of time now, and Janelle could tell by the sun's direction alone that the clock was ticking. The wait almost seemed painful, but with Greed/Ling being her rock, she felt she could face anything. If she could take a blade for Ling, lose her voice for Greed, she sure as hell could face Father. He was powerful, and she knew the tricks that he held up his sleeve, but she had a few tricks of her own. Ones that would surely blow him away if she kept her mind clear, and her hopes high. But she would make sure to keep that distance the boys talked about, to stay safe.

And now, as the sun came to it's peak, arising over the mattress and over the intertwined legs, the two just laid there on the bed after finishing the apple, both content, and happy to be with one another until they heard the sound of the sirens. The sound of a man's voice echoed through Central Head Quarters, repeating of intruders, and Roy Mustang going rebel out in the City, that he was to arrive soon to 'take over'. Then there were reports of Briggs soldiers making their way through while the Military tried to hold them off.

By this time, Greed had taken over the body again, his eyes opening from the once peacefulness over the loud sound of booming, and gun shots. And Janelle? She was peaking over the avarice's chest to look out the window. From far away she could see lights blasting, people scattering below, and over the roof.

Her heart was pounding in her ears, yet her breath seemed steadied now, not like before. Her mind went blank to, as if a part of her was trying to come to terms that this was truly happening. She was attempting to find some kind of resolve, and when she felt the man beside her start to shift around a little, "So, you ready to kick some ass babe?" She somehow found the strength to move. To fight. To find the threat that attempted to take this world, and hers…And more.

Janelle looked up from her spot slowly, somewhat smiling to the words of the homunculus smirking back at her. Then she patted his chest softly, and gave a strict nod, "Let's go."
