Regret

Alphonse stood in the waiting room of the critical care unit in a hospital not to far from headquarters. The trip there had been hard. But just walking out of the arid dessert was nothing compared to the many questions he was asked about the incident. The colonel ordered him to keep quite about the entire thing, but seeing Winry's face after she just visited his brother made it so he could not help but tell her truthfully. He thought Winry would hate him forever after telling. She did not. She just hugged his armored body and cried. He did to, in the only way he could.

"Do you think he'll be alright?"

Winry finally asked after a long cry. It was far past midnight and they still hadn't heard anything about Edward's condition so far. Alphonse starred out quietly than responded.

"I don't know"

A door opened quietly. a man came out wearing glasses and a white lab coat jacket, it alarmed them. The man had no expression on his face. He just handed them a few release papers that would allow him to speak with the ma and let them visit his brother again. That is if there was someone to still visit. Winry and Alphonse finished signing the papers and they both looked at the man hopefully.

The man sighed than spoke quietly.

"I'm Doctor Thomas. Edward Elric remains in serious condition, although not as serious as before."

Winry nearly chocked tears but managed to control herself so she could hear the whole story.

"He is still unconscious and I'm afraid in a coma. We had to put him on a life support machine, which assists in his breathing, as his entire chest seemed to be crushed. It remains hard for him to breathe alone. He also had a case of dehydration, but that's all taken care of."

Thomas looked down in regent. Al said nothing only sat down and leaned over putting his head in his hands. Every word Thomas had said stung his soul with agonizing pain that he remained stunned. Winry burst out in tears and fell to her knees on the floor she wanted to run in complete disorder, something to make the pain stop. Thomas sighed than muttered something else

"If you want to see him he's in room 211…"

Alphonse looked up than stood.

"…211…."

The creak of his armor sounded as he stood. Walking over to Winry, he grabbed her by the arm and helped her to her feet than pulled her along towards the elevator. She looked at him in question and almost fearful that Al would crack and attack as she saw her self and Al suddenly standing in front of a room labeled 211.

"Is Ed in there?" she asked.

"Yea" he responded and opened the door walking inside.

Breaths and gasps where heard as a machine stood by the bed Edward was in, supporting his breathing. Winry followed Al, tears swelled in her eyes upon seeing Edward. He lay in the bed, his face pale, his eyes shut and his human arm a sort of gray pale tone. There was evidence where the doctors had scrubbed dried blood off the side of his head. He was dressed in a white hospital gown and under white hospital blankets and sheets. His original blood stained clothes lay on a chair next to his bed.

Winry walked around to his side nearly tripping into the IV cord that protruded from his left wrist. She shook her head and felt his forehead. It w cold, but he was alive. A machine that beeped with every heartbeat he took told hat he was doing all right, and the rise and fall of his chest was seen. Winry cried again and found a seat in a nearby chair to keep her from falling to the tiled floor. Al walked to a corner of the room his back facing Winry and his unconscious brother. It was silent in the room except for passing medical carts that could be heard from the other side of the door and the soft weeping from Winry. Al's soul sobbed in silence, as he was full of regret and sorrow.
