Happy reading!

Chapter 19

"Long time no see, Führer Mustang." The Xingese Emperor grinned and greeted, "To think that you would jump from Colonel to Führer in just five years... Impressive."

Roy chuckled, "I can say the same for you, Emperor Ling."

The younger man laughed, and his teasing grin widened as he turned to Riza. "You really married your superior officer, I knew there was something between you two. Oh, and I'm sorry for not being able to attend your wedding. How was it? Mei showed me photos, you looked very nice in that wedding dress."

She shook her head, "I should thank you for your... very generous gift." She said, her voice slightly quiet as she recalled receiving a red packet with hundreds of thousand cenz.

"You're welcome!" He let out a laugh, then said. "Anyways, you must be tired after hours of train rides. I'll send someone to bring you to your rooms." The couple nodded, and he continued. "And thank you for coming all the way here. There's a little something I put in your room, it'd be lovely if you can wear it to dinner, Mrs Mustang."

"For me?" She raised a brow and nodded with a smile. "Thank you."

...

"And I was wondering what his gift was..." Riza uttered as she held up a short-sleeved, baby blue qipao with gold, floral embroideries.

"Hmm. It looks pretty nice." Roy commented, "Go try it on."

She stared at the clothing in her hands for a few seconds, before nodding and heading towards the bathroom. She came back out after a while, and tied her hair up to a bun before facing the mirror to adjust the dress. "The slit is high as always... Do I look alright?"

"You look beautiful, darling." He smiled and replied, and grinned. "Shows off your curves."

She scoffed and faced him with a smile. "Let's go, can't wait to see what we're having for dinner."

He chuckled and nodded, his eyes still ogling her curvy form. "Isn't the dress tight?"

"It is." She touched the fabric, "But not in an uncomfortable way."

He hummed and wrapped an arm around her waist and he raised a brow, "It's soft."

"It is. Perfect for this weather." She replied and stifled a gasp when his hand travelled up to her breast, enticing her to scowl and pry his hand off her. "Roy!"

"Are you not wearing a bra?"

"I—" She sighed, and muttered bashfully. "You would see the outline of it if I wore one..."

He blinked down at her before resting his head on his palm and groaned. "I'll be thinking about it for the whole dinner..."

She reached a hand up and pinched his cheek, enticing a yelp from him, and she scolded. "There are things that are a lot more important than this, that you should be thinking about, Führer Mustang."

He pouted and rubbed his cheek that stung slightly in pain.

...

"I knew that the dress would look good on you." Ling grinned. "Your husband has been staring at you for the past two hours."

Riza crossed her arms and glared at her husband, in which he coughed and glowered at the young emperor.

"He always stares at his wife; She can be wearing prisoner's clothes, and he'll still be ogling at her for hours." Havoc sneered as he spoke up and Rebecca snorted, enticing the Führer to turn around and glare at them.

She sighed and resisted the urge to pinch his thigh, and asked. "Now that I think about it, I haven't seen your bodyguard, Lan Fan."

"Hmm? Oh, I forgot to tell you. She's pregnant, and she's feeling a bit under the weather, so I figured it'd be better if she rested." Ling replied casually.

The couple blinked and stared at the emperor. "Pregnant?"

He laughed and nodded. "Mm-hmm."

"Oh... congratulations, Emperor Ling." Riza smiled and said, and Roy nodded.

"Thank you!"

"How many months is she?"

"Hmm... three months." He said, and he smirked. "What about the two of you? You've been married for a few months too, haven't you? About time."

Here goes. Riza mentally uttered.

"We are planning to have one. Eventually." She replied.

Ling hummed and nodded. "Sounds nice. Even Ed has two kids." He then studied them and said with a widened grin. "I'm sure your children will look beautiful. I wonder if they'll have black or blonde hair."

"Might be a brunette." Havoc shrugged and teased too. "And I do believe that you two will have beautiful babies too."

"Anything wrong, Führer Mustang?" Ling raised a brow at Roy. "You've been quiet. Something on your mind?"

"...No, it's nothing." He muttered.

"Hmm? Really?"

"Yes, I assure you." He sighed, "Now, back to what we have discussed about."

Roy heaved a sigh as he sat on the corner of the bed. "He managed to do marriage counselling with us for the whole evening instead of talking about the alliance."

Riza chuckled, "Did it come as a surprise to some people that we got married?"

"Perhaps." He replied.

She smiled at her husband and said. "The bathroom Emperor Ling prepared is really nice. Have you seen it? There's a little hot spring in there." She hesitated slightly before saying with a hint of bashfulness. "I'm going to take a bath now... Would you like to join me?"

His eyes lit up, and he grinned like a child being rewarded with candy. She sighed and crossed her arms as she watched him walk over towards her, and he wrapped his arms around her to pull her into a hug and asked with a teasing tone. "My, don't I have an eager wife?"

She scoffed, "Get your mind out of the gutter, Roy—" She pulled away from his arms and headed towards the bathroom, and he raised a brow when her form suddenly stiffened.

"What's wrong, darling?" He asked.

His eyes widened ever so slightly when she turned around with a slightly blushful expression. "Can you help me unzip the dress?"

He chuckled, the grin on his lips widening. "Of course, my dear."

Riza turned so her back was towards him, and she moved her hair to a side for him to grab the zipper. He slowly dragged it down to her lower waist, then pushed the sides of her sleeves down her shoulders to her elbows. He touched the scars on her back, his fingertips ghosting across the uneven skin.

She withheld a shiver and turned her head to look at him in the eye and smiled. "...Thank you, Roy."

She then shrugged the dress off her, letting it slip off before neatly folding it, though her movement stopped abruptly when she felt him place his warm palms on her shoulder, and he pressed his lips against the scars.

His hands travelled down her arms, to her waist, then down to her hips. He hooked the hem of her lacy underwear with a finger, and his other hand was wrapped around her waist as his lips trailed down her back, planting light kisses on her smooth skin, eliciting a quiet moan from her.

"Roy..." She placed a hand over his that was on her waist, a light blush painting her cheeks.

"...Sorry, I got a bit carried away." He uttered, releasing her from his hold.

She merely nodded, and moved to place her dress on a wooden stand and stripped the last piece of clothing off her before heading to the shower stand.

...

Riza dipped her foot in the warm water before stepping into the indoor hot spring and sat down next to her husband and she heaved a relaxed sigh as she rested her head on his shoulder.

Roy smiled and pulled her closer as he rested his head on top of hers. "Reminds me of the first day of our honeymoon."

She immediately pulled away from him and scowled. "Don't."

He let out a laugh. "I won't, my dear."

She narrowed her eyes and stifled a gasp when he tugged on her arm and pulled her back in so she was sitting in front of him with her back towards him. He kissed her nape, and she sighed and rested her head on his chest.

"...So Emperor Ling is having a child, huh?" Roy uttered.

She let out a chuckle, "Are you surprised?"

"Quite frankly, yes." He replied, "Though not as surprised when I first heard about Edward having one. That kid is literally fourteen years younger than me."

She nodded. "I was quite surprised too when Winry called and told me about her pregnancy— twice."

He laughed, "To think that they would have two children."

"I wonder if they are going to have a third one." She hummed idly and heaved a deep breath. "Staying in here for more than ten minutes would make me feel a bit dizzy." She stood up and said sheepishly. "I'm starting to feel a little light-headed now."

He nodded. She took a towel and squeezed her damp hair with it before wrapping it around her. Her eyes widened slightly in mild surprise when she felt a pair of lips on her nape, then travelled down her shoulder.

Riza let out a sigh, her form relaxed as her husband wrapped his arms around her and continued kissing her shoulder and neck. She nearly gasped when he tugged her towel down slightly and cupped a breast in a hand, squeezing the soft mould and pinching the pink bud, and his other hand caressed her thigh, his fingertips slowly moving up to her core.

She grasped his hand on her breast as he played with her now slick womanhood, whimpering his name when he pressed his thumb against her clit and his fingers stroked her entrance, then slipped two in her.

He nipped on her skin, sucking and leaving several red love bites on her porcelain skin whilst he started thrusting his fingers in and out of her. She leant against him as her legs threatened to collapse, and her towel dropped to the floor. He inserted another digit in her, quickening his pace.

Tiny moans escaped her ruby lips, and her cheeks heated up with a light shade of red painting them. The grip on his hand tightened, her legs unconsciously parting further as she craved for more of his touch, and she moaned. "Roy..."

She looked up at him, her half-lidded, desire-filled honey hazel eyes meeting his dark, deep, onyx ones. He leant down to capture her lips with his, and she whined his name against his lips when his fingers pulled out from her, though her protest was soon cut off when he turned her body towards him and lifted her up, his lips still on hers.

She wrapped her legs around his waist as she returned the kiss eagerly, cradling his head as she threaded her fingers in his soft raven hair. He walked towards the bed and sat on the edge, and groaned against her lips when she tightened her hold around his hips, pressing his erected manhood in between her inner thighs. He growled against her lips, nipping the lower lip when she rolled her hips forward, eliciting a gasp from her.

They exchanged a heated, open-mouthed kiss before she abruptly pulled away, leaving him confused and breathless, and he soon let out a low moan when she wrapped her hand around his erection whilst kissing and nipping his jaw, then his neck, leaving red marks. She kissed his toned chest and pulled away from his hold to lean down and kiss his abs.

"Riza." He panted, and she averted her attention to him. She withheld a shudder as she took in his aroused yet slightly embarrassed expression, and she released the hand on his manhood. He pulled her up, and moved closer to the centre of the bed and laid down, then gestured her to 'come here'.

She crawled onto the bed and turned around so her bottom was towards his face, and leant down, licking and kissing his tip, then sucked his tip, enticing a pleasured grunt from him. He cupped her arse, and she moaned against him when he ran his tongue along her slick entrance and lapped on her arousals. He squeezed her arse, bringing her hips lower, and she let out another muffled moan as his teeth grazed her clit.

She cupped the base of his manhood, running her tongue across the slit as she licked the precum off, and took in the bulbous tip and suckled it. She wrapped her hand back around his length, running it up and down slowly, enticing him to growl impatiently and bite down gently on her clit.

Riza smirked against him and suckled harder whilst working her hand faster. She stopped the motion of her hands just to slowly take him in her mouth, and she moaned when he grunted against her sensitive womanhood. She ran her tongue up and down his shaft, kissing and nipping it, then moved up to circle her tongue around his tip before taking him in again.

"Riza, wait—"

She withheld a gasp as he groaned and suddenly came, and she squeezed her eyes shut and swallowed his load, then licked his tip clean before pulling away. She turned towards him as he sat up, his cheeks painted in a dark shade of red and his breath ragged, and reached a hand out to cup her cheek, wiping the corner of her lips with his thumb and asked with a quiet and bashful tone. "...Shit, I'm sorry, Riza. Did you...?"

She too nodded bashfully, and she asked meekly. "...Was it alright? I-I haven't done this before."

He froze, though his face felt as if it was burning, and he mentally cussed. He stuttered, shocked that he had discovered another surprising side of his wife. "Y-Yeah, it was great." He quickly recovered from the shock, and pulled her towards him and moved back so his back was against the headstand, eliciting a gasp from her. He sat her on his lap, his hands on her thighs and he murmured into her ear. "You haven't come, have you?"

She whimpered and wrapped her arms around his neck as he stroked her womanhood and inserted his fingers in her, and she let out broken moans as he thrust his fingers in and out of her, then curled his fingers, filling the room with her moans and the sounds of his fingers playing with her soaked entrance. She panted warm breaths against his ears whilst letting out sweet moans over and over again, eliciting a shudder from him and he felt his manhood become rock hard again.

He pressed his lips against her neck, placing sweet kisses on her skin, and cupped a plump breast in his unoccupied hand. He trailed his lips down towards her breasts, and laced a nipple in his mouth, making her whimper. He pinched the other bud in between his fingers whilst he nipped the other one and suckled.

She gasped as he pressed his thumb against her clit, rubbing the erected bud vigorously, enticing more moans from her and she adjusted her hips for better access for him. He adverted his mouth from her nipple to her lips, and claimed her lips, muffling her moans and whimpers.

"R-Roy..." She moaned against his lips and gasped as an orgasm crashed, sending waves of pleasure up her spine.

She slacked against him as her tensed form instantly relaxed, and he embraced her tightly in his arms. He gazed into her soft honey hazel eyes as she looked up at him while panting, and cupped her cheeks in his hand fondly. She kissed his chest and rested her hands on his shoulders and they both leant in for a sweet kiss.

"Riza..." He murmured as he caressed her cheek with his thumb, and she nodded. She lifted her hips up, and he slowly entered her, eliciting her to close her eyes and let out a moan.

She tightened her grip on his shoulders as she adjusted to his length, and she rocked her hips as he cupped her arse and grinded against her. She wrapped her arms around him, pressing her breasts against his chest whilst resting her head on his shoulder, and shuddered and mewled when he grunted against her ear.

She gasped when he suddenly leant forward and pushed her down to her back, and squeezed her thigh as he thrust in and out of her roughly, enticing her to moan loudly. She wrapped her legs around his back as she circled her arms around him, pulling him close to her as she whimpered his name.

He nipped her ear and murmured her name, then trailed his lips down to her neck, nipping her porcelain skin, and groaned and sucked hard as he felt himself coming close.

"Roy..." She whispered as she threaded her fingers in his hair, and murmured. "—I want your child..."

His onyx eyes widened, and he grunted against her neck and pounded harder into her before shooting his seeds inside her. She too cried and came again as her body tensed, her sex squeezing his length, and she tightened her hold around him.

They panted heavily, and he sighed and pulled out of her after a while, then laid down on his back. He turned towards her and reached a hand up to cup her cheek. "What you said... is it... do you mean it?"

She chuckled lightly. "I do. Is it that unbelievable?"

"Oh, Riza..." He embraced her tightly, and she smiled and returned the hug. He murmured against her ear, "Thank you..."

They pulled away, and she yawned before muttering sleepily, "I love you, Roy..."

"I love you too, darling." He smiled and replied, then carried her to the top of the bed and lifted the blanket to place it over them. He placed his arm back over her, and she nuzzled her head against his chest, enticing him to caress her golden hair and kiss the crown of her head. "By the way, Riza, do you happen to be...?"

"Ovulating?" She peered up at him, "Hmm... Yes, I am."

He leant down and nuzzled his nose against hers happily, "Then there's a chance that..."

She let out a light-hearted laugh, "You never know." She then tugged on his arm, gesturing for him to lay down lower so they were facing each other. Her honey hazel eyes softened, and she cupped his cheek. "I'm sure you'll be a wonderful father."

He placed his hand over hers, "And I'm sure you'll be a wonderful mother too."

She leant forward to kiss him, in which he returned immediately.

He grinned at her when they pulled away, circling his arms around her again for another tight embrace, pressing his cheek against hers. "What a lovely wife I have."

"Roy..." She sighed and chuckled. "That's my line, actually."

"Oh?"

"It's funny how you take your job so seriously, but you always slack off." She muttered, and her lips curled up to a grin as she looked into his onyx eyes. "I found it very attractive when you were doing your work properly."

"R-Really...?"

"Yes." She murmured a reply. "Especially when you do your paperwork properly."

He groaned. "That's what I do all day now."

"Not exactly." She said.

He sighed, then gave a smirk of his own. "Well then I wonder what you think about when you see me do paperwork at home?"

"You have no idea..." She whispered seductively before placing a hand over her mouth to stifle a yawn. She pecked his lips and pulled him towards her, tucking his head under hers, then pressed her lips against his forehead. "Let's sleep now."

He smiled and nestled closer, nuzzling his nose against her neck and closed his eyes.

Omake:

Riza couldn't help but grimace as the smell of burnt and rotting bodies, gunpowder and blood entered her nose, though she had slowly gotten used to it, after staying in the scorching battlefield for... how long? She couldn't recall.

She placed the hood over her sandy, dust-filled blonde hair that has long lost its lushness, and she picked up her sniper rifle. She glanced outside the window and saw a woman running frantically with a little girl, her hand firmly wrapped around the girl's.

Riza pointed the rifle at them, her sharp yet dull brown eyes watching them through the rifle's scope, and she aimed at the woman.

Shoot.

Her hands trembled, and she tightened her grip on the rifle till her knuckles were white. Her glare sharpened, and she gritted her teeth.

Shoot, Riza.

She closed her eyes in an attempt to calm herself, though the tremble of her hands didn't stop, and she pulled the trigger. Her eyes widened when instead of the woman, it was the girl who fell to the ground, the bullet hole through her temple clearly seen.

What have I done?

The woman kneeled down, holding the child in her arms as she sobbed and screamed, and Riza's heart ached further as if having a dull knife stab her heart. The blonde-haired sniper flinched when the woman suddenly glared at her direction, through the scope, her crimson eyes filled with tears and full of hatred.

She froze, the pair of angry, crimson eyes paralysing her, and she found it hard to breathe. She inhaled sharp, short breaths, her hands trembling further, cold sweat rolling down her forehead and shivers travelled down her spine. Tears of fear, sadness, terror welled in her eyes, but she swallowed the bile in her throat and cocked the rifle.

She pulled the trigger again.

...

Roy awoke to the stinging pain on his scalp, and he fluttered his eyes open before realising it was her nails digging in his scalp. He winced, "Riza—"

His eyes widened as he saw tears roll down her cheeks, and her eyes were squeezed shut, her brows locked to a frown.

He took her hands and wiped her tears, and shook her shoulder lightly as he attempted to wake his wife up from her nightmare, his voice gentle yet full of concern. "Riza, wake up."

The frown slowly disappeared as she opened her eyes. "Roy...?"

"Riza." He heaved a relieved sigh. "Are you alright? What's wrong, darling?"

"I—" Her honey hazel eyes widened, and she let out a deep exhale as she closed her eyes. "It's nothing, Roy. I'm sorry I woke you up."

He took the woman in his arms, holding her tightly as he softly spoke. "Will you tell me, Riza?"

She looked back up at him with her teary eyes and nodded before hesitantly telling him the vivid dream she had. She grasped his hands tightly, her voice quivering slightly. "Do I have the right to be a mother?"

"Riza..." He murmured as he cupped her cheeks, and leant his forehead against hers before pulling away to kiss her nose. "The first time I thought of having a family with you was five years ago, after the Promised Day. It was always you, Riza."

She stayed quiet.

"...I had dreams like that too, and I know how selfish it is of me for wanting to have a family." He uttered, "Riza?"

"...Yes?"

"Your social project is on compulsory education, right?" He said. "You'll be able to help a lot of people, children when you finish your project. We'll continue to atone for our sins as the country's Führer and First Lady, and help and save more people than we killed."

She nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Roy."

He returned the smile and placed a light, sweet kiss on her lips.

"Roy, what I said earlier..."

"Hmm?"

"I want your child." She said as she circled her arms around him, "It's true. I meant it."

The smile on his lips widened, and he nodded. "I know, darling."

She leant up for another brief kiss before resting her head under his, pressing their bare bodies against each other's. She heaved a sigh, feeling her husband kissing the crown of her head before caressing her hair soothingly, and she closed her eyes.

A/N: If Ed needed 520 cenz to make a call in the telephone booth, I'd assume that the currency value was equivalent to JPY. About the red packet, it's a Chinese tradition for people to give red packets (money) to the newlyweds on their wedding (as a gift).

This chapter is a bit... messy. Still hope you enjoyed reading it!
