OMG THANK YOU! I did NOT expect to get so many comments, views, and everything else on the FIRST DAY! Because of you guys, I'm going to write the next chappy! I was actually planning on writing this tomorrow maybe, but here I am! All because of you thank you SO much!

Now Edward can't say his R's, L's, or even K's very well so he might be a bit hard to understand. He normally doesn't say things right so I'll try to keep it legible. If you have a line you can't get, just put it in your comment! O and Al isn't born yet, so don't fret!

And Roy does NOT have his gloves!

Now for the next chappy!

Chapter 2: Lessons

Roy snuggled into the pillows…he was so warm… so comfortable…he really didn't want to get up. Yesterday had seemed like a dream, and yet, he was here now. For the first time in his life, he knew what it felt like to live like everyone else. He was warm, content, and not to mention he wasn't hungry. He relished this feeling.

Suddenly he felt a weight on his legs. It bounced around a bit.

"Woy? Woy! Wake up! Wake up siwwy! You need to eat bweakfas!" a small voice said gleefully. Roy just lay in the blankets longer.

"Woy! Woy? Are you dead!" he felt the weight remove itself and felt warm breath on his face. "Woy? DON'T DIE!"

At that moment Roy grabbed the kid around the middle and swooped him into the air. Ed gasped at first, then laughed as he struggled to break free of the older boy's grip. Roy set him down and laughed.

In the kitchen, a delicious aroma was being cooked up by Trisha. "Oh! You're awake! Did Edward wake you up?" she smiled

"Yeah kinda… I was already awake though." Roy replied.

"I'm not quite done, I'll get you when it's finished though." she turned back to her cooking. Roy nodded and left the room, feeling content.

He wandered into the living room, where Hohenhiem was. He was sitting in the middle of the room, with a pile of wood next to him. Roy looked at the man with a puzzled look on his face.

Hohenhiem took a piece of paper and began to draw. When he was finished, it was a configuration of triangles, circles, and lines all in one giant circle. Roy sat down in a chair, interested now. Hohenhiem took the wood and placed it on the drawing. He clapped his hands together and then placed them on the wood before him. There was a flash of blue light, and what sounded like electricity. Roy shielded his eyes from the sudden burst of light.

When he opened them he was amazed to see a dollhouse. It was beautiful. Every detail was intact, even the latches on the windows and tiny moldings on the walls. There was not a shingle missing, it all looked perfect. Roy gaped at the achievement. Hohenhiem sat back to admire his work.

"How did you – "Roy started.

"Alchemy," was the older man's only reply.

"But … that was amazing!" Roy exclaimed.

"You seem interested." Hohenhiem stated

"Er… yeah, not many people could pull that off!"

"Heh, I could tell you how I did it… but it would be tedious." Hohenhiem said. "You would have to understand the physics and rules of Alchemy."

"uh…" at that moment Trisha called from the kitchen.

"Boys! Breakfast!"

"YAY!" came Ed's voice from another room "I'm hungy!" everyone gathered in the kitchen.

The day went rather smoothly. Roy found enjoyment in almost every second of it. Edward was so adorable. He acted much like the fire Roy had admired so often. He was always bouncing around, asking questions, and he was never in the same place for 2 seconds. So far that day they hadn't done much. Ed dragged Roy to listen to one of his favorite radio programs. Ed had followed Roy around like a puppy the whole time. He looked up to Roy almost as if Roy was his brother.

It was dinner time and the family gathered to eat at the table. Everyone was pleased with eachother's presence. The atmosphere was relaxed and content. Edward had been rambling about a toad he found outside.

"And then it jumped at me! It scawed me too. But dat's ok! Can we keep it?" Ed exclaimed.

Trisha laughed. "Maybe it might be best to keep it outside dear."

"otay… I'll call him…Fwedwick… yeah Fwedwick!"

"Fredrick? Why Fredrick?" Hohenhiem laughed.

" I dunno… it just sounds kinda cool." Ed said thoughtfully.

There was a moment of silence before Trisha spoke.

"dearest?"

"Yes?" Hohenhiem replied.

"did you finish that dollhouse for Whinry's birthday yet?"

"almost, all I have to do is add another layer of paint."

"Er… Mr. Elric?" Roy inquired.

"oh… yes?"

"I was wondering. You know how you used alchemy earlier?" Hohenhiem nodded. "well… I was just wondering, if maybe, you could teach me alchemy…" there was a silence.

"well…" Hohenhiem said softly. "lessons start tomorrow."

"Really!" Roy's face lit up.

"Daddy?" Ed looked to his father. "can you teach me awchemy too?"

"maybe when your older son…" Hohenhiem laughed.

"o otay…well…den I'm gunna watch you guys k? I wanna learn as much as I can!" Ed began to eat his mashed potatoes eagerly. Everyone was in a good mood afterwards.
