To anyone else that has reviewed, sorry that I didn't mention you. But I might next time.

Jeeze, get on with the story already!

As Roy got out of his small hotel room, he began to think of what he was going to tell Ed. "Oh hey there, Ed. I just wanted to say hi. Oh yah! Also, I am totally not dead!" Yeah, right. No one in their right mind would believe that load of crap.

But he had to see Ed, so he came up with a story.

8888888888

Ed woke up to the sound of laughter. A grin swept over his face even before he opened his eyes as he thought of his daughter. 'Nina.' He thought to himself. He sighed and pulled the blankets off of himself. He instantly regretted it; it was freezing. 'Dammit,' he mentally swore to himself. 'I bet she's freezing, too. (Sigh) I guess I'm not getting the 'Father of the Year" award this year.' Ed chuckled a bit and put on some clothes, then went to Nina's room.

Ed peeked past the slightly ajar door. Nina was on the ground playing with he stuffed animals. Ed's head was filled with grief. If he had only gotten a better job. If he was richer he could buy much better toys for her. If he… the list went on. Ed knocked on the door lightly and Nina turned her head around.

"Daddy! You're awake!" she walked up to him, pulled the door more open, and gave him a hug around the knees. Ed smiled and knelt down to give her a proper hug.

"Hey, honey. Did you have good dreams?" his voice was soft and so was his gaze.

"I had a great dream, Daddy. I was playing with Cousin Trisha, and we went to the park. We made friends with this little blonde boy. I think his name was… Fetcher. Or something." Ed picked his little girl up and started carrying her to the kitchen. "Did you have a nice talk with that mister, Daddy?" Ed sighed; he thought she'd forgotten about that. He decided to elude the question.

"So what do you want for breakfast?" He asked when they got to their kitchen. It was small, but had lots of cupboard space. It had a nice sink, and stove; the basics. Just enough for a small family like theirs. "We've got eggs, pancakes, waffles, toast, sausage, bacon, and hash browns." Ed looked down to the dark haired angel in his arms. He raised his eyebrows when no response came. "Nina?"

"Daddy, I want you to be happy." Nina took after Ed; she was very smart at such a young age. But apparently, she also was like Alphonse; very keen into peoples' emotions.

"I am happy, sweetie. I just…" Ed sighed and put the girl down. "I vote pancakes, sausage, and eggs. It shouldn't take that long; only about 20 minutes or so." Ed bent down and got out two pans. He didn't want Nina to see the tears in his eyes; the ones that were begging to spill out. Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Want me to get it, Daddy?" Nina asked sweetly. She could tell her father needed some time to himself. She smiled and headed towards the door slowly, waiting for his answer.

"Yeah, go ahead, Nina." Ed replied in a higher voice than usual. He was doing his best not to cry. "If they want to talk to me, just bring them here, okay?" Nina nodded and headed to the dining room, where the front door was.

Roy patiently waited for the blonde to open the door. Sure he was stressed. And a little nervous, but who wouldn't be? His lover had just slammed a door in his face less than 24 hours ago. Roy sighed, letting out the breath he had been holding in for quite some time. Of course Edward wasn't going to open the door to him. He had come back after 4 years, and just happened to say it was him right off the bat? Great way to say hello.

Roy straightened up as he heard little footsteps headed towards the door. He took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. One could only imagine his surprise when a little girl opened the door.

"Hello!" she said, a smile gracing her face. She had raven hair, very close to Roy's. "Do you want to talk with Daddy?" her smile stayed, but there was a strong over-protective-ness in her voice. She seemed to not want Roy to come in, but would let him if need be.

"Yes, I do." Roy bent down so that he could be eye level with her. 'Golden eyes.' He told himself. 'Ed's eyes.' "Can I see him?" The girl looked down and let Roy in.

The house itself was fairly small; it was large enough for a family of 3, and only had one bathroom. However, almost all of the wall space was filled with pictures. Roy smiled at some, scrunched his forehead at others, and almost grew teary at a few. Nina led him down a long hallway. It wasn't the way to the kitchen, though. Nina wanted to chat with this new fellow.

"You're the man from last night, aren't you?" she asked, face down. Her small mind was overloaded with unanswered questions.

"Yes. Yes, I am. But that's why I need to see Ed. Can I see him now?"

"No." the girl was very straight foreword. "You're the one from the picture. You're him, aren't you?" Nina pointed to a picture. It was the one of Roy and Ed; Ed on his lap, Roy trying to read his book. Their last day together.

"Yes, but why can't I see him, Nina? If I'm in so many pictures, don't you think I'm a good guy?" Roy couldn't stand the way this child was treating him. Like he had done something terrible. Okay, he had left for a while… four years… but it wasn't like he had left Ed for some random chick or something. It was war; heavy duty war, with blood and guns and death. Roy had gone to keep it from Ed.

"You're the reason he cries." Nina's eyes were filling with tears as she looked up to the tall man. His face immediately was filled with a mix of confusion, pity, and even more confusion. "He doesn't want me to know, but he cries a lot. At night, he reads his letter that's on his table and cries. I hear it, but Daddy doesn't want me to. That's why I had to open the door today. He's crying."

Roy was in a state of total shock. This little, four year old, was telling him he had basically broken Edward. All of a sudden, the idea of the girl's age popped into his head. 'I left four years ago, and she's four. God, could Ed replace me that fast?' He was completely oblivious to the other figure near him.

"I'll take you to Daddy now." Was all she said. She pushed her freshly cut bangs out of her eye and started towards the kitchen. It took Roy a second to realize what was going on, but he followed her.

Ed had successfully burnt 4 pancakes, 7 eggs, and 2 pieces of sausage; a new record for the Elrics. He sighed as he threw another one of the burnt pancakes away… so that would make 5 burnt ones. His breath was suddenly shortened as he realized that his Nina was no where in sight.

"Nina!" he called out worriedly. His heart began to pound in his chest. 'I swear if she gets kidnapped I'll never forgive myself!' he mentally yelled at himself for letting her open the door. No matter how emotional he was, he was the parent, and had to act like one. "NINA!"

As they came out of the hallway, the two dark haired beauties heard the cries of a certain blonde alchemist. "NINA!"

"Coming, Daddy!" Nina grabbed Roy's hand and pulled him into the kitchen. Roy, being completely consumed by his own thoughts, let her pull him.

As Nina pushed the door to the kitchen open, arms swung around her body, whispering words of worry. Nina blushed a bit, as she was still holding Roy's hand. Ed didn't even see Roy; the sight of his daughter was to blinding to let him think of who the man next to her was.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack, Nina." Ed said, combing his fingers through Nina's thick, soft hair. "That was worse than getting pregnant. You scared me so much. I didn't know where the fu- heck you were. Oh, Nina, thanks goodness." Roy had never seen the blonde act so lovingly towards another being, save for Al. Roy cleared his throat and decided it was his turn to speak. Luckily, Ed was still kneeled down holding his daughter close.

"Nice place, Ed." It wasn't what he wanted to say; it's just the only thing that would come out. Ed let go of Nina and stood up to glare at the taller man.

"What the fu-," he remembered the little ears in the room. "What the heck are you doing here, you bas-, you…" Ed didn't really insult people that much now that he was a father, so all he knew were his old insults, but he couldn't say them in front of his little girl.

"You've got a great kid, you know that?" Roy smiled nervously and backed up a little from the steaming alchemist. Roy knew he was pushing his luck, but he had to talk with Ed.

"If you think I think you're Roy, you're wrong. Roy's dead." Ed practically spat the last words, but that was because he was holding back the tears.

"But it's me, Ed," Roy said, trying to coax the younger one to believe it. "I'm not dead, I'm right here."

"Prove it." The blonde said sharply. His head was tilted down, and drops of salt water were falling from his face. "Tell me something only Roy Mustang would know."

This was surprisingly difficult for Roy. He didn't really seem to have that much time to think though; Ed's patience was wearing thin. "When you were 11," he finally decided on a memory. "You and your brother, Alphonse, tried to bring back your dead mother." Roy stopped as Ed's head slowly rose. "That's how you got that leg, the automail one."

Gold met onyx and blonde hair was suddenly wrapped around Roy's body. "I can't believe it." Ed whispered into Roy's chest. "The letter, it said you died. And with me being with Nina-" Ed stopped mid-sentence. "Holy shit. Nina!" Ed let go of Roy and looked behind him… no Nina. "Where'd she go?"

"I heard her say she was going to her room." Roy said calmly. He then remembered what Ed had said when Roy had first been led into the kitchen by Nina. "Hey, Ed?"

Ed went up and hugged Roy again. "Yes?"

"Did you say you were pregnant?"
