The Big Day
Keiko woke up to find that she was the only one in the room. "I wish you was were here Mummy." She thought, getting out of bed she left to go to the living room. When she got there she notices that Izumi, Pinako, and Wirny were whispering. "Good morning." She walked to Izumi and sat next to her. "Good morning little one, how did you sleep last night...did you had anymore nightmares?" Izumi said softly, hugged Keiko and smile. Keiko looked down refusing to look to Izumi in the eyes. Izumi knew that looked because Alphonse and Edward gave her the same look right after they had nightmares about their mother. "Keiko please tells me the truth I' here for you…You know that don't you?" She picked up Keiko head and stare right at her. "Keiko I can't help you by myself. You have to take the first steps, we talked later but you can't keep it in forever." Turning to face Wirny and Pinako. "Let hurry up Mrs. Izumi, the faster we do it the more time she has to recovery." Pinako, getting up and walking to a room to left. Wirny with Izumi and Keiko followed.
2 hours and 13 minutes later
Izumi sat next to Keiko as she toss and turn on the couch. She was deep in thought while looking at a wall. "Did Edward have this much pain or maybe even more?" Wondering to herself she notice Keiko whimpering in her sleep. She didn't even Wirny staring at them. "Mrs. Izumi, do you want anything to drink?" She walks to them as Izumi jerk her head up. "I'm sorry if I scare you…I know what you're thinking. It is very painful but in the end she gain so much more." Wirny sat on a chair by Izumi. "I know Wirny but it still hard to hear a child in pain." She put her hand on Keiko head but quickly took it off when she flinched. Wirny was the one who spoke first. "You know Mrs. Izumi it was like this for Edward and it still is for him. She will need her automail adjusted as she grows and it will still hurt when it is reconnected." Wirny said softly, looking at Izumi. "I know I'm family and she just staying with me till the military from them but she growing on me. I had a child but I could never really show him my love. Edward and Alphonse, I cared for them but there was a fine line I could never cross with them." She sighed while getting up and waiting for Wirny to do the same. "Mrs. Izumi what are you going to do if they can't find anyone to take her?" "I would like to adopt her if I could." Wirny smiled as they walked to the kitchen. "You know I think you would make a great mother for her." Izumi stopped in her tracks and looked down at the floor. "You really mean that?" Wirny stop next to Izumi and place a hand on her shoulder. "Yeah I do, you would really do great." They smile and headed to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Waking up Keiko notice once again she was by herself this time in the living room. Her whole body still aches but she didn't want to be alone. Walking to the kitchen she was greeted by Izumi, Wirny, Pinako, and a dog that one of it legs was automail. "Come on Keiko I made you a sandwich." Keiko walked to the table and sat on a chair. She looks at Izumi as she brought her the sandwich and places it on the table. "Mrs. Izumi I want to talk to talk…is that alright?" Picking up the sandwich and taking a bite of it. Izumi smiled and patted Keiko on the head. "Sure little one we can talk after you eat."
In Ed and Al room
Izumi sat on a chair while Keiko sat on the bed. "I been having bad dreams about my Daddy…he hurting me in them." Izumi go up and sat next to Keiko. "Do you want to tell me little one?" Keiko shook her head no. "I won't push anymore today but I'm trusting you to come to me." Izumi said, getting up. "Let get going little one." They left to go to the kitchen.
