This one is for you, Night Kaida!

Edward fidgeted and paced outside of the delivery room. He could hear Winry's cries of pain and sobs from the hall and each cry was like a thick spike impaling itself deep in his chest. He wanted to be in the room with her so bad but a man being in the delivery room was improper and he probably would have just been in they way anyhow. After almost three unbearable hours of labor, Winry had given birth. Ed heard the baby cry and he took it as his cue to enter the room.

He flung the door open and rushed to his wife's side. "Win! You ok?"

"Other than just having squeezed something the size of a watermelon through something the size of a lemon, yeah, I'm just dandy." Ed brushed off the rude comment. He knew it was a stupid question.

"Where's our baby?" He asked, gently dabbing the sweat off of her face and soothingly rubbing her hand.

"The doctors are cleaning her up," she answered weakly. She laid her head back and took a deep breath She was exhausted and understandably so.

"'Her?' I thought we were having a boy?"

"The ultrasound was too blurry to actually read, it happens all the time," she said calmly. Edward was even more excited now. He was shaking the hospital bed as he shook with excitement.

"Sir, Ma'am, heres your baby girl," the nurse smiled at them and handed the baby to Edward. "Congratulations!"

Edward took the little newborn in his arms and Winry sat up to look at their child. The minute they laid eyes on her, Winry burst into tears of joy and Edward's chest swelled up with joy and his eyes watered.

"We did it," Winry whispered as she kissed her husband's cheek.

"She's an angel," he whispered back without looking up. The little newborn slept peacefully in her father's arms.

"What about a name?" Winry smiled as she let her baby hold her finger. Edward didn't really expect it to be the first name to come to mind but when he thought about it, it made perfect sense.

"How about Nina?"

"Nina Elric," Winry tested the name in her mind. "Perfect," she smiled.

-(one week later)-

Finally being home was great and being able to hold their baby made it all the better. Ed sat on the couch with Winry laying between his legs. Their daughter, Nina, laid on Winry's chest, head resting on her shoulder. A knock on the door roused Winry from her light nap

"Unh?" She mumbled groggily.

"Al's here!" Ed said excitedly. "The door is open!" He yelled to his brother.

It had been six months since Ed had last seen his brother. Ever since Alphonse had gotten his body back, he had been chasing Mei around like a lost puppy. He followed her back to Xing and finally, he was back to see his brother and family.

"Brother! I hope you don't mind, Mei wanted to see the baby too!"

Ed got up and gave his brother a fierce hug. "Well, she's got a name now! Her name is Nina," he smiled proudly.

"Nina?" Al understood and smiled. "Good choice, brother." Neither of the Elric brothers would ever forget the innocent little girl whose father used her as a victim of his disgusting experiment.

"Where is she?" Mei asked.

"She's right here," Winry said cheerfully, showing off her daughter. Nina opened her eyes and everyone went silent. Edward and Winry shared a look of love and awe, Mei and Al gasped.

"She's…. beautiful!" Al and Mei exclaimed. The newborn had Edward's sandy blonde hair and cute little nose but Winry's deep blue eyes and feminine lips.

"She's a perfect mix of both of you," Al whispered, still in awe. Nina let out a shrill cry of laughter and smiled to everyone in the room. Everyone laughed with her at the sudden outburst.

"You two are so lucky…." Al said as he put his arm around Mei.

"Whoa, Al. Don't get any ideas, you're not ready for kids yet! They're not like cats, they take a lot of time, patience, and care!" Ed's eyes widened and he pointed an accusing finger at his brother.

"Oh I'm only one year younger than you! And you're twenty!" Al raised his voice as a huge blush spread all across his face.

"So? Don't try and steal my thunder by having cuter kids than me!"

Winry thumped Ed on the head. "Than us Edward, cuter kids than us."

Al and Mei joined Winry in laughing. Ed slowly warmed up and started laughing with them.

A picture-perfect family.
