-A Test of Virtues-

Author's Note: Alright peoples… here's the thing, you might want to go back and check out ages and those things from the earlier chapters… I screwed up and I'm working on it… I changed their ages around so that this chapter wouldn't look so… unethical…

Disclaimer: I do not own FullMetal Alchemist or any of the related characters… Damn I'm getting really tired of this. But I do like to mess with them a lot.

Summary: Ed and Al have teamed up with a new girl, Mustang's niece, they are sent to investigate the happenings at a mine and get themselves caught in a giant military cover-up from years ago. Does the mine owner's daughter know anything about these strange happenings?

'Oh my god… oh my god…' Rae gulped as she sat on the floor in her bathroom at her uncle's house. She rested her head against the cool porcelain of the toilet lid and gulped, holding herself. She had been very light the month before… and this month she had missed completely. Her head swam as she looked over at the test, sitting on the counter, she was just counting down the minutes... 'What if it comes out positive? What if it comes out positive?' Her mind rushed with thoughts. 'What would I tell Roy? 'I've been sleeping with Edward Elric?' Yeah he's really going to love that… ED! What would I tell Ed?' Rae heard a knock at the door.

"Everything alright in there hun?" Roy asked through the door.

"Yeah." Rae's voice surprised even herself at how calm it sounded while the owner of the voice was terrified out of her wits.

"Alright… just checking…" Rae heard Roy walk away. She shuddered slightly and lifted up the test and closed her eyes. 'It's going to be negative… it's going to be negative…' She willed it to be negative though she already knew that the latter was more likely. She opened her eyes and let out a sigh of relief, it as negat-wait… it was changing… Rae almost screamed but she bit her tongue instead, if she screamed Roy would break the door down… and she would find out. Rae shuddered and picked up the test. 'Positive… what do I tell Ed? Do I tell Ed?' Rae's mind rushed with thoughts again and she packed the test and the packaging into the plastic bag and walked calmly into her bedroom and slammed the door, locking it then threw the bag into her drawer and slammed her face into her pillow and screamed, loud and long.

'It's not true… it's not true…' She felt hot tears pouring down her face as she hugged the pillow to herself. 'It's so not true, I'm going to wake up tomorrow and all of this is going to be a dream.' Rae told herself and cuddled under the covers. Resting her head on the pillow. 'Please let this all be just a dream.'

The next morning Rae woke with a start, she felt a thick liquid rising up her throat and ran into the bathroom, slamming the door shut she vomited what felt like her entire body structure into the toilet then flushed just as she vomited again. Roy opened the door and looked in.

"Rae are you alright? You feeling sick?" Roy asked her, concerned.

"I-I feel a little weak… that's all…" Rae smiled faintly, she closed her eyes and realized that none of this had been a dream… she was really pregnant… she had to get out of Central… and fast.

"Alright… maybe you should stay home today?"

"Yeah… I think I will Rae walked into her bedroom and shut the door, leaning against it. She knew only one person she could call.

"HI! Winry… it's Rachel… listen do you think I could come visit you for a few months?"

"Months? Yeah sure… Grandma and I would love some company!" Winry replied.

"Thanks… please don't tell anyone about this alright?"

"Um… alright I guess…" Winry answered.

"See you in three days then." Rae hung up the phone and picked up her suitcase, as she left she set a letter down on the counter, explaining some things to her uncle. 'See you in a while.'
