It had taken Roy Mustang nearly an hour to find the Doctor's Laboratory, he had never been very good with directions. He breathed in a deep breath as he stood in front of the metal door to the lab and then reached out to knock.

'knock knock knock' Mustang tapped his gloved hand lightly, but firmly on the door. He then waited patiently in front of the door awaiting an answer, tapping his foot a few times. 'KNOCK KNOCK' A few moments had passed and he knocked a little harder upon the door this time. Several more minutes passed before the door had finally cracked open and a lovely young woman looked back at him from the other side.

"Can I help you?" She asked as she eyed him up and down for a moment. She was a rather attractive young woman, Mustang had to admit. Her face was of an oval shape, with full pouty lips that had two dimples when she smiled, and deep blue eyes. Her hair was a honey blonde and was held back in a braided ponytail that hung down to her hips. She crossed her arms over her small chest as she stared at him awaiting an answer.

"Yes, I'm looking for Doctor Holdol. This is his laboratory correct?" Mustang replied as he stood there with his hands held behind his back. He assumed she was one of the doctor's assistants, since she was wearing a white lab coat and light pink scrubs, as well as a small name tag that said her name was, Anneth. 'She has a pretty name.' He thought to himself as his eyes glances over her name tag.

"You are correct." She said with a small smile on her face. "However if you are looking to speak with Doctor Holdol then you will have to wait, the doctor is out at the moment."

"Would it be alright if I wait for him inside?" He inquired as he returned her smile with one of his own. If the doctor was out then perhaps this was an even better opportunity for him to snoop around unsupervised, before the good doctor returned to answer some of his questions.

"Of course Colonel," She moved to the side of the open door way and held a hand out to motion him inside. "Feel free to have some coffee while you wait as well, but please do not touch anything, the doctor does not like his projects to be tampered with." Anneth spoke sternly as she informed him, of what he could do and could not do, while he waited for the other man to return to his lab. "I will be in the next room doing some tests so if you need something just call for me." And with that the pretty little assistant smiled and proceeded to leave to an adjacent room, leaving the Flame Alchemist on his own and free to explore.

"Well that was easier than expected," The dark haired man mumbled to himself as he glanced around the room and then watched as the lab assistant walked away and into another room. Guess it was time he got to investigating before the doctor decided to return. He would have to make the most of his time, considering he did not know just how long it would be before he would receive another opportunity such as this. The next question was where exactly should he begin?

So far this laboratory did not seem that unusual. The room that Roy Mustang was currently standing in was about as average looking as any standard military facility would appear. The room was pretty spacious with white tiled floors with a large alchemic circle designed by dark green tiles in the center of the room, the walls were also a white color with a dark green molding. There did not appear to be mush in the room other than a large oak desk covered with papers, and few large test tubes filled with various fluids and some with chimeras, there was also a small aquarium with various fish swimming about in it.

'Perhaps I should start there…'He contemplated as he walked towards the large oak desk. Once he stood in front of it he began sifting through the stacks of papers scattered about its top. Most of the papers appeared to be medical documents of various patients or some were notes on different experiments being tested in the facility. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary, and just when he was about to write off looking at anymore of the papers, one document in particular caught his eye. "Patient 077?" Mustang read the words at the top of the page he had found aloud, squinting his eyes slightly as he did so. At first glance the paper seemed to be nothing special, and normally he would have just stopped reading, but something about it just did not feel right. The paper had read as followed:

Patient 077

Full Name: Madison Polaski

Age: 23

Rank: Private

Division: 17736

Summary: Patient came in with complaints of nausea and feeling lightheaded, after multiple tests were ran, the Patient was confirmed to be positive for pregnancy. The patient was advised to take it easy and will be placed on light duty at the direct request of the Fuehrer, A follow up visit has been scheduled for 2/12/1914.

Mustang read the paper another two times before he placed it back where he had found it on the desk. 'Strange… I do not recall a Madison Polaski….not to mention I am more than positive that Division 17736 is an all-male unit…it is a front lines division as well.' He bit his lip slightly as he mulled over this thought in his head, choosing to sit down on a nearby sofa to wait for the Doctor. If he was indeed out then it was more than likely that he was currently paying this patient a visit, considering that the date was today's date after all. He also found it quite strange that the Fuehrer himself requested that she be put on rest. 'She must be connected or at least of some important to King Bradley….'

After his little altercation with Envy and Lust, Edward Elric had collected himself, and transmuted some bandages from his own coat to dress the puncture wounds in his shoulders that were still bleed a pretty good bit. He needed to speak to the colonel about what had happened, if anyone would know what to do or possibly be able to help him shed some light on this situation, it would be The Flame Alchemist…and well normally Alphonse would be the one he confided everything to, but at the moment he was not prepared to bring his younger brother into all of this, besides he did not want to worry him any further than he already had.

"I don't know what else I can do other than say I am sorry…."The young alchemist spoke softly to himself as he stood and clenched his fists tightly in frustration at himself and the whole ordeal. He was becoming more and more ashamed of his own actions as of late. Did he really have the right to fight back against Envy, his victim…He did not deserve even the kindness of the Sin coming to kill him and release him of his guilt, no he had not deserved to live either. He was a monster… a beast that preyed on the weak, well he wanted to truly believe that, but he knew deep down it was not his fault nor was it Envy's… If he had been truly in his right mind he would never have done such a vile thing, not to mention if Envy would have easily killed him, but the fact was he had not or perhaps was it that he could not? Something was not right… Is it possible that whatever scheme the homunculi had been planning, did not include Envy himself?

'I don't understand…what the hell could, they possibly gain from me having sex with Envy?' the blonde thought deeply, trying to make sense of everything that was going on. Lust's words weighed at the back of his mind. She had said "It…It worked?" her voice repeating the words over and over. What could she have meant by that and what in the world worked? He understood Envy's rage at him and he understood Lust coming to back him up, but other things that had transpired he could not quite figure out. In the midst of their fight Envy had grew ill…

'Perhaps he's sick? No that can't be it…homunculi aren't supposed to get sick are they?' He reached up and pulled at his hair in frustration, this whole ordeal was giving him a migraine. He really needed to speak to the colonel. And with that final though Edward Elric had decided it was time for him to get going, the bleeding was beginning to slow down and he would not have much time to get to headquarters before Mustang decided to leave work.

It had seemed like hours since Mustang had sat down on that sofa, though it was quite comfortable….definitely better than the wooden chair he had at work… he still was growing tiresome at having to sit there for so long waiting on the other man to arrive.

"I am very sorry to have to drag you to the office with me today" A kindly voice had sounded from just outside the door, it must have been the doctor returning and with a patient to boot…perhaps it was Ms Polaski… Another voice, had replied in response, but it was so androgynous sounding that Mustang could not tell whom was with the doctor, whoever it was did not sound too happy. Though he could have sworn he heard something about 'when this is all over I am going to kill you and everyone else' but Roy could have been mistaken after all what normal person would say such a thing.

"I am afraid your father insisted that I check the…." The doctor had opened the door and was walking inside when he noticed that he had a familiar visitor waiting for him in his office. He stopped midsentence staring at the dark haired man seated on his sofa, who merely glanced at him in response. The doctor's sudden stop caused his patient to walk directly into him and cursing his incompetence as a human being in response.

"Welcome back Doctor, I have a few questions I need to ask you." Mustang stood up from his seat and walked towards the other man, a serious tone in his voice and his hands were placed in his pockets as he walked.

"I am a very busy man, and as you can see I have a patient," The doctor looked at him with a raised eyebrow and shrugged his shoulders in an attempt to brush his new visitor off. "I'm afraid you will just have to make an appointment with my assistant, Anneth." He began to walk past the colonel motioning for him to shoo as he did so.

"I suggest you turn around, as a superior officer, I am no longer asking I am…" Mustang began to speak sternly as the doctor walked past him, before it happened…He stopped speaking midsentence as he realize just who Ms Polaski was….who exactly the Doctor's patient was…"Envy?" He could not stop himself as he said the Sin's name aloud, causing the doctor to stop and turn around to face him and the sin just stood there staring at the taller man with just as much shock as the other.

"Well well well if it isn't the Full metal Alchemist's babysitter," Envy mocked as he smirked with his hands on his hips. He looked as he always did, like a palm tree with clothes. However there did seem to be some sort of glow about him the more that Roy stared at the boy, but then again perhaps he was only imagining things, it could just all be in his head.

'Why is he here? He isn't a member of the military last I checked…." Mustang dryly replied a stern look was upon his face.

"Well that I cannot tell you Colonel, patient confidentiality after all." The Doctor seemingly smiled a sincere smile as he replied. "I strongly suggest that you leave colonel, this matter does not concern you." Without even so much as another glance, the doctor walked into another room, followed by Envy.

'This must go deeper than I imagined….even the Fuehrer seems to be involved in all this….' Mustang scowled and clenched his fists angrily, he had wanted to burn that man, but what if Envy attacked him….Not only would he be putting many lives at risk if a fight had broken out here, but there was also the matter of Envy being actually pregnant…that would mean Edward's a father wouldn't it?

'This is getting a bit weird.' He thought as he decided it was best to leave for now. Guess it was time he headed back to his office now, but so many questions still gnawed at the back of his mind. What were they thinking to accomplish with having Edward impregnate the shapeshifter…surely they must have some sort of scheme to warrant taking their best spy out of their main game? And why use his sister's image….

An hour or two had passed since Mustang had left the Doctor's Lab and during that time the doctor had also informed Envy of his current condition, a revelation that the sin had not taken too kindly to. The lab assistant was currently cleaning up the resulting mess the homunculus had left in his rage. The moment the words 'You're expecting' left the other man's lips, Envy cracked and rage took over. In his fury Envy had completely smashed up the doctor's laboratory, breaking tubed, the aquarium, shredding through his nice new curtains and hell he even took a swipe at the doctor himself, tearing a hole in his long white coat. Envy now merely sat in a corner of the trashed lab scowling. He was furious not only at the fact that Edward had knocked him up, but his own father and siblings had planned for this. He could not help but feel betrayed and angry, he wanted to get back at them, all of them….but how was he to do that? He could always switch sides….

'That could work….then I could make life hell for the pipsqueak as well…' He thought quietly to himself as he held his knees against his chest, his head resting on top. He was determined to throw a kink in the other homunculi's plans and to do that he would have to find Edward…perhaps apologize for trying to kill him earlier? 'No…he would never believe that.'

Suddenly an idea had come to mind and Envy smirked mischievously. He stood up with his mind made and a plan now formulated. "Well I guess I should be paying that pesky colonel a visit." He said aloud, standing up and making his way to the door. He would need to make his way to Central Headquarters and find the annoying human's office, he needed to convince him of his sincerity and perhaps get him to pity his plight so that his plan would work.

Author's note: Yay, another chapter! I 'm not sure if I am completely satisfied with this chapter, but here it is. I'm not sure if I want to turn this into a yaoi or not yet, but I have been thinking about it, if I do go down that path it will happen soon, perhaps in one of the next two chapters. Any thoughts on that idea? Or any suggestions on the upcoming chapters? I would love to hear some feedback.
