Anyway Im sorry once more and I am working on the other stories and I hope you guys will find it in your hearts to forgive me and my slothness. heh sloth...anyway here is the story. Enjoy!

What happened last time:

Ed and Al both watched their father walk away once again. The crowd soon went about their own conversations.

"Edward...he gave us 20 acres! Do you know how much that is! Oh my God, and you said he was useless I mean come on he was more useful than we thought!" Al kept on rambling while Ed walked to the door staring at the poring rain.

"Ja ne Otou-san..." Ed said as a tear slid down his pail cheek.

"Ed?" Al shook his shoulder, he gasped a little as he saw the change of emotions through Ed's eyes, but they were soon gone and Ed went about into the crowd; totally ignoring Al in the process.

"Ed!" Al ran after him, but he realized even if he did catch up to him, there was no use in actually talking. He would just have to wait...yes waiting would be just fine, as he looked at the lovely Rose and her child.

(With Ed)

'Why did he have to come!' Ed yelled in his head, 'this birthday sure does suck!' his eyes averted to the large pile of presents...'well maybe it's not all bad.' He calmly walked to the present area eyeing all the rather large boxes...'what did they get me? A metal suit?' he laughed a bit. One box caught his attention though, it was from Hawkeye, rapped with blue paper and golden letters of 'Happy Birthday' along the sides. The ribbon was pure gold as well, put a bit more a hue to it. Ed stared at it for a while, entranced by the box, that's when he noticed some holes in it, curiosity won him over. He looked through the whole, but darkness and the occasional light flashed through the other holes.

Ed caught his breath when he noticed an eye looking straight at him, Ed withstood his ground; the eye continued to glare intensively at him breathing deeply every now and then.

"Ookami?" A low growl imitated from the creatures throat, Ed only gaped at the animal.

"Edward?"

Ed came out of the trans and looked at who had called his name, Hawkeye.

"kuso." he murmured under his breath.

"Edward why where you looking through the air holes?" She stood there tapping her foot waiting for an answer.

"Anou, Konbanwa Hawkeye-san!" Ed said happily trying to change the subject.

Hawkeye eyed him in annoyance "Elric," She growled as Ed gulped, "Do not try to change the subject, I saw you look at it. You have to wait...at least when Elysia and her friends leave."

Ed sighed and walked away calmly.

The party went along with Elysia; they blew out her candles, ate the cake and opened her present. Now was Edwards time to reign; but, after a while he sighed in boredom, 'If Roy was here I wouldn't be bored at all.' Ed smiled warmly as the picture of Roy came up in his head. But it was soon interrupted when Armstrong came dancing along.

"Edward! I see you have no companion how about a dance?" it was clear to Ed that he was drunk, and hitting on him at that! He looked around and saw that most of the people there where drunk, 'ok, who spiked the punch.' he growled.

"no thank you Armstrong." ed chuckled nervously.

"There is no need to thank me Ed!" He laughed and grabbed Ed and threw him over his shoulder and started spinning.

"You see ed! Its not all that bad! now all you have to do is learn to..." He grabbed Ed's now dizzy body, "flyyyyyy!" He threw him clear across the room only to slam his head against the wall, a trickle of blood ran down his forehead.

"Armstrong! Do you want to kill me?" Ed yelled immediately after he stood up; but when he took a moment to look around his surroundings he noticed Armstrong was long gone on, dancing around with Fiery who was also drunk and paying no attention to him.

Ed sighed and went to the restroom to clean up the cut; it wasn't deep like some he had experienced during combat, but it still hurt and he knew he was going to get a headache soon.

"neee." he wined, "my party isn't coming along like its suppose to." He grabbed a wet towel, and took a glance at his watch, "9:30" it read.

"well, its only begun, I think I'll go and see what Al's up to and blow out my candles." he washed his cut and put a Band-Aid on it.

Once done he opened the door and ran into someone, "Ah...gomen na-" Edward soon noticed the one person he did not want to see, Winry.

(with Al)

He knew he shouldn't have let Winry go off by herself, but at the moment he really didn't want to be with her. All he wanted to do was talk to Rose, and her child, both of which he now dearly loved.

"Anou...Al? Shouldn't you go and find Winry before she confronts your brother?" Asked rose while sipping a cup of punch.

Al sighed, "Why would I want to be with her when I have you-" He immediately covered his mouth with his hand, blushing furiously.

"I-I mean, I wouldn't want to leave you alone, with all these drunk men around and er..." Al was at lost of words.

Rose laughed bitterly, "I'll be fine, go find your fiancé..."She looked to her side, trying not to meet Al's gaze.

"H-Hai." He stuttered. As al went to search for his future wife an old man took his spot.

He smiled warmly at her, "Why, you must be Rose! Such a nice kid you have there. All he talks about is how Al is going to be his new father, but thank God he's finally asleep, no? I couldn't get him away from me." He chuckled some more.

Rose let out a giggle, "Yes he's full of enthusiasm. But me and Al will never be." She let out a sigh.

The old man reached deep into his pocket to bring out a small note which handed to Rose.

She gave him a query look and was about to open it when he stopped her, "The only reason I'm giving you this Rose is because Al deserves a better life than with Winry. You have a good night, and may God be with you both." As fast as he came he left.

Rose looked at the note, "I wonder what he meant by that." As she unfolded the note and read carefully a gasp escaped her lips.

"Al...Oh my God Al.."

(With Ed)

"Winry..." He exasperated, "W-What do want?" He snarled

"Nothing really..." she smirked, "I just want us to be together." She lightly touched his chest.

Ed looked at her in shock, here she was with his younger brother on his birthday party, hitting on him!

"keh." He looked at her, "As if I want to be with some slut!" He shot back.

"really," She gave him a dangerous smile, "Not even if I said I'm expecting a baby? And your the father?"
Edwards eyes widen at the unknown information given to him.

"B-baby?" He yelped. Winry nodded her head only getting closer to Ed who seemed a bit jumpy at the moment

"Matte!" He pushed her off of him, "Why are you so sure, that the baby is mine?"

Winry held her head low only enough for ed to see her mouth move, "Its certain, the doctor told me this morning."

Ed's hand began to quiver; he was sure he protected himself so this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. When a question popped into his head.

"How could the baby be mine when your with my brother? Being the slut you are, I was expecting the baby to be my his!" He pointed out, making Winry fall into a corner.

"A slut huh?" She chuckled to herself, Ed became quite aware that Winry would do anything to get him.

"Remember the good times Ed?" She smiled, "When we held each other so close that we could hear each others heartbeats, or when you first made love to me?" Winry smiled, only making Ed vomit mentally.

"I don't care about the past Winry," He looked at her in the eyes, "I suggest you start telling the truth before the lies get to you."

He pulled her chin up so she could see the pain she was causing him, "I hate you." Winry's eyes were filled with tears, "I hate what you become, I hate what you are doing, I just plainly hate you. And if u think of going public with that nonsense about that child being my son," He pulled her so close Edwards breath hit her nose, "I'll kill you myself." With that he walked out of the bathroom leaving Winry to deal with the pain.

(with Al)

"Rose, I cant find Winry anywhere." Al said out of breath.

She looked at him with gazed eyes, "Then j-just wait here. I'm sure she will come around." She smiled trying to hide the shocked expressions.

(With Ed)

Ed looked around the rather large living room to find Al flirting with Rose. He smiled happily knowing that Al was soon to forget the slut and cancel the wedding.

'This birthday just keeps on getting better and better.' he thought joyfully, walking towards the couple.

"so getting a little cozy are we?" Asked Edward only having a cocky smile plastered on his face. Al flustered a bit only laughing at the comment his older brother made.

"Your funny Ed." He laughed once more blushing all the more, and Rose only mildly smiling, knowing what Edward was doing.

"Edward, what happened to your forehead?" Asked Al trying to change the subject

Ed blinked confused at first but sighed after the regretful dance he had to suffer with Armstrong

"Long story...but anyway what are you guys all giddy and happy all of a sudden...If I do recall," He looked towards Winry, "your getting married to that fat heifer over there," He pointed only making Rose laugh and Winry to steam. Al just snickered a bit, but not enough so that anyone would have heard.

"and yet your here, having a heartwarming conversation with Rose? Shouldn't you be with Winry after all she hits on every man in the room, and I don't think that would be a good thing since you two are getting married right?" Edward questioned only having a scheming smirked placed in his face.

Al's heart rate quickened, having his brother point him out like that so randomly made him a bit flustered and words didn't seem to want to come out. Lying was a thing Al was never fond of and he didn't like the feeling after it; the tightening of his stomach and the quenched throat, all those things made him think twice before he answered.

"Your right," Al was a bit surprised at his sudden outburst, but his mouth kept on running while his brain kept on trying to tell him to stop, "Wriny and I are getting Married and I wouldn't want her to be flirting with other men." He stood up and walked towards Winry even when his heart said that she wasn't the woman for him.

"Al?" A voice behind him called out, he turned around slowly acknowledging the tired voice.

"Shouldn't you be Asleep ed?" Al said running his hands through Ed's messed up hair.

"Al? Are you leaving my mom?" Alphonse only shook his head, but little Edward continued to talk, "If you want I can leave both you and mommy alone...she's never been this happy before, and I don't want her to go back to being sad...please don't leave her..." Edward clenched Al's leg, tears coming out.

Alphonse smiled softly kneeling next to the teary-eyed child, "I would never leave your mom like that...she's one of my beast friends..." His heart seemed to clench his chest, knowing that was a total lie, He thought of her in a deeper sense. Alphonse wiped away the many tears and hugged him comfortingly, waiting for the tears that would soon appear.

"how about we go to the park again someday ok?" Al whispered his ear.

Little Edward smiled widely and hugged him back, "Hai." going back into the playroom to fall asleep once more.

Winry looked at Rose, she knew Al was falling hard for her, but she knew, she always knew that he would come back to her, he wasn't like Edward. As Alphonse walked back to the arms of jealousy and dishonesty, Rose stood up tears almost at the point of falling down her face.

"Matte!" She yelled out.

"Matte Al-kun, Matte..." She repeated, Al looked at her full of concern.

"Daijobu? What's wrong?" asked Al while he was being pulled back by Winry.

"Let go Winry! Something's wrong with her!"

"She's fine! She's just being a drama queen!" Winry yelled back, "Can't you tell? She's trying to steal you away from me, That slut! What a shameful bitch, why would you want to be friends with her when she's only getting in our way!"

"She's not a bitch Winry! She's one of my best friends and why would she try to steal me away from you? She knows how much you mean to me, she would never try anything like that..." The last part was a mere whisper, why was he becoming such a liar...being with Winry didn't feel right...with Rose everything fell into place.

"Al...She betrayed you." Tears forced down her mascara. Al cocked his eyebrows in confusion.

"Betrayed? W-What are you talking about Rose? Winry wouldn't betray me"

lie

"She loves me,"

lie

"She said that she would never leave me alone."

you know its a lie.

"Exactly! She doesn't know what she's talking about." Winry grasped his arm and flung him on top of her.

"Al please believe me!" Rose screamed, tears streaming down.

Winry had had it she stood up and walked over and collided her hand with roses cheek leaving a nice red mark plastered on her face.

"WINRY!" Al protested and ran to roses side, "What the hell is that about!? She didn't do anything wrong!"

Winry growled, "She loves you Al and I don't want anyone to take you away from me! Hell Edward was taken away from me by a GUY non the less!" She yelled out. The crowed gasped as Edward blushed feverishly.

Rose rubbed her burning cheek and looked at Winry with a small smirk on her face, "I have proof"

The crowd silence thickened.

Winry just looked at her knowing she was bluffing, "Proof? Yeah right! As if i would ever cheat on him!"

Rose handed the note to Al as he read it out lowed

Dear Al:

I know I will not be giving you this note personally, I will however give it to the person that cares the most about you.

I do not like to meddle in affairs such as this but i have no choice now; Winry Rockwell, is pregnant with none other that Havoc's baby and she has been for several months now. I do not want her to be the cause of your unhappiness because that's what i want to give the people who need it the most.

Please give my best regards to the young lady holding this for she is pure of heart and character. Don't lose her Al she maybe the one who can save you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Tim Marcoh

Al was left astonished, "You cheated on me while we were dating?" He held his head low.

"How can you call that evidence!? She probably wrote that out herself!" Winry yelled.

"Winry," Al said calmly, "Isn't Dr. Tim Marcoh your doctor?" Winry nodded solemnly.

"Then why the hell would you say this is a fucking fake!!!?" Al yelled, "I cant believe you Winry! Your the one who is a fake a bitch and a total slut! The wedding is off and get the hell out of this house before i kill you!" Al yelled.

Winry looked at him astonished," Al I--"

"Shut the fuck up Winry and get the hell out." Ed said getting fed up by yells from the bitch Winry and Sheska beating Havoc to a pulp.

Winry looked at them sneered walking out of the house only to stop and say, "You will come back to me Al...even if its the last thing I do."

Al looked down at the rug just reminiscing all of the things they had together only to be brought back by Roses hand on her shoulder.

"Its ok Al." She gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek making him red as a tomato.

Ed look as happy as any kid would be on their birthday. 'this was one hell of a birthday.'

"Well enough with the fights!" Armstrong and Hughes yelled

"Lets get back to the Party!" They both yelled once more drinking more and throwing people across the room for fun.

Ed sighed as he thought how much better it would be if Roy was there. The party went by as usual, cake, ice cream, presents. He got everything he ever wanted but there was one present yet to be opened and that was the one that Hawkeye bought for him.

"Go ahead full metal, open it." Riza laughed as if he was to chicken shit to even open it.

"I-I will..." He said sweat dripping down from his forehead.

"Anou, Riza the box is growling at me." Riza had had enough she went over and undid the tie above the box and revealing a small wolf just the size of ed when he was 12.

"Ookami??" Ed smiled as it licked his face.

"See? There wasn't anything scary in there...chicken shit." Riza said sipping her tea.

Ed looked at her menacingly, "I-I wasn't scared...not a bit." He said still shaking.

The rest of the night was a blur as Ed got buzzed and the rest of the people went home buzzed or extremely drunk. All he could recall is Al and Rose saying there good byes and now he was outside in the mud. the moon was still out that would only mean that he was outside only a few hours, only thinking about Roy and how he could be so nerve wrecking. then a voice came to subside in his ears.

"Al?" Ed questioned as the figure he kneeled down next to him.

"Why the tears?" An unknown hand came to lay upon his shoulder. Ed didn't even know he was crying.

"W-who are you?" He asked only to pass out afterward.

The figure smiled and picked him up and put him in his car for a little ride.
