Chapter Seven…

As Riza sat next to Roy, she knew that she needed to be honest with both Izume and Pinako about her relationship with Hohenheim, but how would they react to her confession?

Riza looked down at the floor where Edward and Winry were sleeping and back at Roy and said, "I need to talk both Izume and Pinako, but I fear how they will react."

Roy stood up and offered his hand and softly said, "Please take my hand, I'll go with you."

As they approaches where Izume and Pinako were, Riza wanted to turn around and run. Roy kept hold of her hand and when Pinako looked at them Riza nearly threw up.

Izume stood and as Sig put his arm around her, she looked at Pinako who nodded her head and Izume asked, "When did Hohenheim began abusing you?"

Roy tightened his arm around Riza, and as tears ran down her face, she answered, "It wasn't until Alphonse was around two months old.

Edward hated him for what he did, I did my best to keep him from knowing."

Edward and Winry woke up and Edward got up and hurried over and hugged her. "Mom, what's wrong he asked."

Before she could answer, there was a bright light. It was so bright everyone had to shield their eyes. Edward stood straight and as the voice that made him cringe said, "This one isn't any good!"

Hohenheim tossed Alphonse into Riza' s arms. She tightened her arms around her son and she nearly shouted, "YOU NO GOOD BASTARD, WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT?"

Edward looked at his mom and Alphonse and he said, "He wants me!"

Before she could move Hohenheim appeared next to Edward and he said, "That one, he pointed to Alphonse and he said, he's no good." Then with another flash of light they were gone.

Alphonse grabbed hold of Riza and cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Roy gathered Riza and Alphonse into his arms and softly he said, "Hush son, no blames you."

Alphonse fell asleep in Riza' s arms. Izume, Sig and Pinako stood behind Riza and Izume started humming a childhood hymn that she use to sing to their son.

As Riza sat with her head against Roy's shoulder, tears ran down her face as she said a prayer, "If anyone is up there, Please hear my prayer and bring Edward back to us. Amen."

All of a sudden Alphonse sat up and looked around, then looking at his mom he whispered, "Mom, remember when Edward and me played the game of holding hands and raising them high into the air?"

Riza smiled at her youngest son and nodded her head that she remembered, that's when Alphonse looked at everyone and as tears ran down his face he said, "Everyone stand up please, hold hands with each other, and when I tell all of you, raise your hands toward heaven and shout, EDWARD, WE ARE READY NOW!"

When they did as Alphonse told them, there was a flash of really bright light. Everyone fell to the ground….
