Chapter 8
Mustang awoke in his tent the next morning stomach growling. 'How long was I out?' he thought as he opened his eyes.
"Good morning sir," Breda said saluting Roy.
"Morning….where am I?"
"Uh you are in you tent sir."
"Yes of course. How long was I out?"
"Since about five last night."
"What time is it now?"
"Nine hundred hours."
"Why didn't you wake me, Breda?"
"Sorry sir the doctor told us to let you rest."
"Screw the doctor and resting I have a position to keep up and armies to train. Now I am going to afternoon drills."
"Uh sir actually you are supposed to take a nap during those drills."
"Well seeing as I got sixteen hours of sleep I'm not particularly tired. Would you be?" Roy snapped looking at Breda with an evil eye.
"N-no, sir, I suppose you wouldn't be tired."
"Right then I am going out to afternoon drills."
"Uh sir?"
"Yes."
"Its nine AM, Afternoon drills don't start until after well um noon?"
"Very true. Then I shall do some paperwork."
"We did all of it."
"Fine then you will escort me to the local town."
"Why?"
"Did I say you could ask questions? No I don't believe I did. Now if you don't want to lose your hair or any other part of your being then I suggest you drive me into town. I need some stuff for this damn pregnancy."
"Yessir."
They walked to the car and got in. Soon they were headed to the small town nearby. It was a small peaceful looking town. Breda found a place to park the car and ran around to the other side to open the door for Mustang.
"I think I could've gotten that myself," Mustang said. To his surprise this time he did not hit his head on the car.
"Where are we going sir?" Breda asked.
"Over there," mustang pointed to the shop.
"Uh sir you do realize that that is the MATERNITY shop right?"
"Yes and I need some maternity things."
"But sir if we were going to go in there shouldn't we have at least brought Hawkeye? It will look very strange to see two men going into a maternity store."
"Well I am pregnant and I think that everyone should respect the commanding officer around here. We should not be afraid of this."
"Yessir."
They wandered off to the maternity store. Mustang was looking confident in his abilities and Breda wasn't sure what he was going to do. As they opened the shop door and the bell tinkled the woman at the front counter looked up.
"How can I help you?"
"Oh hello ma'am. We were just looking for some maternity clothes," Mustang responded without hesitating.
"Oh I see. But you do realize this is a maternity store. And you're men. Men don't have babies. So why do you need maternity clothes?" she asked eying them. 'Could that be the Brigadier General?' she thought.
"Oh I am sorry ma'am. When I meant we I meant me and my wife. She had a terrible bout of morning sickness and was not able to accompany me on the trip today."
"Well I really don't know how this is going to work I mean you are a man. And I can't measure her."
"Oh why she is about the same size as me. She is about two and a half months along and is bearing triplets," Roy said stealing a quick glance toward his own abdomen.
"Oh my congratulations sir. You are a very lucky person to be the father of triplets. Do you know the gender yet?" she asked walking around and picking up some different pants and shirts.
"No not yet she needs to go for her tests in a few weeks and then we might be able to tell."
"Oh well I hope it all goes well for you. Here I picked these out for your wife. "
"Thank you ma'am. Enjoy the rest of your day," Mustang said as he handed her the money.
Breda and Mustang proceeded out of the shop and were heading back to the car when Roy spoke up.
"Breda I'm hungry. Let's go find some food."
"Uh sir we do have the dining hall," Breda commented.
"I think we should try something local. I haven't had the chance to try the food here."
"There is a street cart over there," Breda said motioning in the direction of a small cart with a striped awning.
"Well then let's see what he has to offer us."
They went over to the man. Breda realized that the man only sold deep fried lamb chops on a stick. 'Mustang hates lamb chops. I guess we should go back.'
"This looks delightful," Mustang sang out as he pulled his wallet out.
"Sir you hate lamb."
"Normally yes but today it sounds good."
"Alright then, make that two," Breda said.
Mustang paid for the lamb and turned around only to be confronted by another person. He looked at her and gasped.
"Well well well, if it isn't good old Colonel Mustang," she drawled smiling sweetly.
"Its Brigadier General Mustang to you, Chastity," Mustang shot back.
"Well you've moved up in the ranks, but what brings you here up north?" she asked losing the drawl and taking on a more businesslike manner.
"My promotion of course. They had me take Archer's place."
"I see. Well how is it going are…." She trailed off as her hand fell to the maternity bag in Mustang's hand.
"Are? What were you going to say?" Mustang asked.
"Who's the woman who gets to have your baby?"
"The woman who gets to have my baby?"
"Yeah why else would you have the maternity store bag?"
"What if I don't have a wife?"
"Then why would you be buying maternity clothes?"
"Because I need them when I hit my second trimester. And some of them are for right now. I'm starting to get fat."
"Wait WHAT?"
"Sorry ma'am, he must be having a bit of trouble," Breda said trying to cover for his CO.
"No need to cover Breda. I think I have already revealed too much. I am pregnant chastity. By some miracle I am pregnant."
She looked at him with a dumbfound expression.
"Ok come on guys. Where is the surprise? Huh? Breda when do you come out and say, 'He was just kidding. His girlfriend needs the clothes.'"
"I am afraid there will be no surprise. I am telling the truth, here see this if you don't believe me," he took out a shrunken version of the ultrasound and handed it to her.
"This could be anyone's I still don't believe you."
"Fine then, here," he said and picked up his uniform shirt. There was a nice bump on the abdomen.
"Wow," she said touching it, " SO they really are in there?"
"Yup all three of them," Mustang replied smiling happily.
"Three?! You have triplets?" Chastity exclaimed taking a step back.
"Yup I do. It's all very wonderful. I hope they grow up to be just like…." Mustang was cut off by a fit of giggles. "What is so funny Chastity?"
"The fact that you're pregnant…. it's too much to handle. YOU being pregnant I mean come on."
"What are you talking about?"
"You being pregnant. I mean isn't that like the worst case of bad karma you've seen ever?"
"I...uhh what? This isn't bad karma."
"Yes it is I mean come on. The BIGGEST and I mean BIGGEST womanizer on the face of the earth is pregnant. Roy Mustang is pregnant. The man who impregnated a few people himself is now finally carrying the burden that he gave to others? It freaking priceless!" She was laughing so hard by now she was crying.
"I did not use women. I just simply had the fortune of meeting with many different people the majority of whom are female."
"Sure, that's right. You also impregnated some of them."
"Oh sure. Like who? Give me an example."
"Like me."
"Wait what?" it was now Mustang's turn to be surprised. 'Have I actually impregnated people before? How many others are there like her?'
"Yes, you got me pregnant. I have my lovely daughter Mary back at home."
"Oh, I'm very sorry, is there anything-"
"No don't say a word. Mary doesn't need any men in her life. Especially not any pregnant men. She is only three. I don't need you screwing up her world."
"Fine but if you do need anything let me know."
"Ok will do babe," she said putting her glossy tone back in her voice. She then turned and left the two men standing there.
"Sir?" Breda questioned.
"Let's go I think I have had enough of this town," Mustang said biting into his lamb chop. It tasted really good.
A/N: So there you have it! Chapter eight. The womanizer is pregnant. And he happened to unknowingly impregnate some people along the way! Well at least he knows what he did. But what will happen when he gets back to camp?? Will everyone find out about the little meet up of him and Chastity?
P.S I named her chastity to be ironic ya know? Roy told her cause he was having a hormone surge!!!!
