Lonely Anniversary
Disclaimer: I do not own FMAB
So as promised, I am now posting on Friday's until further notice. It'll probably be a while. Today is a double update cause both the chapters I'm posting are really short.
Enjoy.

Winry hadn't gotten much sleep because of Joseph whimpering half the night. This had been common since Ed left four months ago. Just as she got him secured to her, there was a knock at the door.
"Who could that be at this time?" Winry grumbled as she made her way to the door. She saw a man in uniform at the door and felt her heart clench.
"Are you Winry Elric?" He asked. Winry nodded.
"Alright, I have a package from a Colonel Edward Elric." He said and Winry visibly relaxed as the man brought the package up. Winry signed and took the package into her home.
"It's from dada." Winry said, smiling as Joseph's eyes brightened. Opening the box, she smiled at the gold bracelet. Little charms hung off of it and Winry smiled even more as she noticed they all brought back memories of them, their lives and childhood, the hell through their teenage years, all leading up to that point, with a little binky and Joseph's name on it. She hadn't noticed that tears had started to flow down her face until little Joseph touched his mother's face. She also saw a note.
To My Wife
I apologize that I couldn't make it home for our first anniversary. I feel absolutely awful about it and I wish this war would end soon. I hope that this is enough to remind you of how much I do love you. Also, I already have our son's gift in mind.
I love you so much.
Happy Anniversary
Your Husband, Edward Elric
Winry smiled even more and then got to work on a reply.

The post man walked over to the barracks where Ed and Al were and knocked.
"Coming." Ed replied as he walked over and opened the door. The post man handed Ed the envelope and small box. Ed smiled and thanked the man before closing the door and walking over to his bed and opening the letter.
To My Husband
You are forgiven, even though there is nothing to forgive. Don't feel bad that you can't be here because to me, simply the knowledge that you are alive is all the comfort I need. And I hope that the gift I have for you will remind you of how much we miss you and love you.
Happy Anniversary
Your Wife, Winry Elric
Ed smiled at the sign off before opening the small package to find a picture frame with a picture of Winry and Joseph in it. He smiled with resolve, he would get this war over with as soon as he could so he could be home with them. The bell sounded and Ed let out a heavy sigh before he placed the picture on his night stand, straightened himself up and walked out of the barracks, even more determined than before.
Hope you liked it and I'll be posting the second chapter really soon.
