Thanks for the reviews. :)

Sorry for the short, (well I say short!) wait. But here's the next chapter.

Riza dressed as quickly as she could, knowing that she didn't have all day to do this. She knew that Roy would come home for lunch, and she didn't want to make up some fake excuse to him. She already felt bad enough for not telling him the truth. It would be better if she had just left a note for him or something like that, then she could explain the truth when she would return home.

After picking a simple white shirt and black pants, then making sure Black Hayate had food for the morning. Riza made her way to the living room where the phone was, she decided that she was going to call the Hughes since they were a married couple and had a daughter.

They also seemed like the expects Riza really should talk to, but still she couldn't help but feel uneasy about the whole thing. If Gracia or Maes were going to help her, then they would need to know the situation.

About herself and Roy.

Of course they wouldn't cast her out into the streets or report them to the military, no of course not! They would keep their relationship unknown, and they would support them, but still...

She or Roy had not told anyone, not a soul. And while Havoc was hinting that he knew, they hadn't said anything to him or anyone else. At the start of their romantic relationship both herself and Roy agreed that they would tell whoever about themselves together.

So telling Gracia and Maes that she and Roy had been lovers for longer than anyone could guess was kinda like stabbing Roy in the back before kicking him in his privates.

But that wasn't the most important thing to worry.

Punching in the numbers, Riza held the phone to her ear and waited for someone to pick up. She still had no idea what to say, but Riza was always quick on her feet. She could think of something to say, she would have to. She couldn't just stay quiet while whoever was on the answering end stayed clueless to who was calling them.

Only having to wait three rings, the phone picked up and Riza took a deep breath ready to expect Gracia or Maes to speck.

"Papa look! I big girl. I pick up phone." Shouted a high pitch, childlike voice.

Riza didn't expect that.

"You did? You are a big girl, I'm so proud of you sweetheart!" Came a male voice that Riza knew well, looked like she was going to talk to Maes. But really it wasn't Riza's first choice, she would of rather talk to Gracia than Maes. "Now give daddy the phone, it may be someone mummy or me know."

The military woman smile at the bond between Maes and his daughter, despite the pain in the head the father could cause when talking about his family, he really was a man to look up to. A quick thought flew through Riza's mind of Roy doing the same thing Maes just did with a child that had black hair. She got rid of it fast, she could not be distracted by what could be the future.

"This is Maes Hughes, how can I help you?" Hughes asked when he finally got the phone to his own ear, Elicia's giggles still in the background.

"Hello, this is Riza Hawkeye." Riza began.

"Hawkeye? Well hello yourself, how are you?" The man sounded happy that she had called, but then again Maes was happy almost all of the time. "And how's Roy? Still the lady's man? I hope not, he needs to settle down with someone and fast, he isn't going to be young forever!"

If only you knew, Riza smirked. "Yes, I am fine. And so is Mustang," she was careful not to say Roy's first name. But there was really no point, Maes was going to find out the truth in a matter of minutes. "Hughes, I need to tell you something-"

"Oh you know, I saw this prefect woman called Anna for Roy to marry." Maes suddenly said, stopping the blonde haired woman from finishing her sentence.

Riza tried again. "No, I need to explain to you that-"

"What do you mean no? I think she will be great! She has brown hair and these lovely blue eyes."

"Please, this is important and I need you to-"

"Gracia knows her from a fish shop down the street. She smells a bit but that doesn't matter."

"Maes, if you stop talking for a second then I could-"

"And she's a great cook, and we all know Roy needs someone to cook him a good meal. Plus I hear from Gracia that she's good when it comes to the bedroom and-"

"MAES SHUT THE FUCK UP NOW AND LET ME TALK FOR ONCE!" Riza yelled down the phone, clearly not happy that Maes was trying to set her future husband up with some random woman he didn't even know. Then the realisation hit her like a wet fish across the face.

One, she had just screamed at an officer who was clearly higher ranking than her.

Two, she had swore loudly and was certain that the little girl next to the phone had heard her.

Three, the hormones from the pregnancy were starting to act up for the first time, and they had picked a prefect time at that too.

"Hughes I am so sorry," Riza said. Nether herself or Maes had said anything since she had yelled at him, but he was still on the line. It surprised her since he should of hung up the moment the word 'fuck' came out of her mouth. "But I really need your help and there is no one else I can trust with this subject."

The line continued to remind silent after Riza had finish, and she was certain that he was going to put the phone down. And that was something Riza didn't want, she could feel tears forming from her eyes and quickly wiped them away. These hormones are going to drive me up the God damn wall! She thought angrily to herself as she waited for Hughes to speck.

Finally she heard Maes. "That serious eh? Don't worry about it, but give me a second." Riza heard the man talking to Elicia, saying that he was having a grown up talk and she could go play in her bedroom. The little girl must of agreed because Riza heard singing fading away from the phone.

"Ok Hawkeye, what's the problem?" Maes asked, and Riza decided that there was no need in holding back the truth any longer.

"I'm pregnant."

"Really? But that's great news, wonderful in fact."

"Yes but," Riza took a breath for good luck. "I'm pregnant with Roy's child."

One minute and five seconds left, Roy thought as he opened the door to his office. He never thought that he would make it in time let alone have any time to space, he reminded himself to thank Riza for noticing the clock. Otherwise he would have been late. And while on any other day that may seem normal, on this day he had a meeting that may get him an promotion to a higher rank. And if he was higher up the ladder then the better, he could be one step closer to reaching his dream. And to marrying Riza.

He knew that the woman he loved had been waiting for a long time, and when he could reach the top he could finally make her his wife. And she could be his just as much as he could be hers. Of course they were that already, but they couldn't tell anyone. Roy couldn't wait for the day he could walk down the streets with her, their hands linked or his arm around her waist. But until that day came Roy just have to keep working.

He walked through the office saying his hellos to Havoc, Breda, Falman and Fuery and then moved to sit down in his seat. But the sight he saw on his desk made his mouth open in pure shock.

"Looks like Hawkeye didn't want you to miss your paperwork, Chief." Havoc commented at he turned his head to the desk. "Do you think you can do it all?"

Not even listening to Havoc, Roy stared at the paperwork covering his desk. Maybe there wasn't even a desk, just countless piles of paperwork sitting in front of him. Damn it, didn't Riza know that he had the meeting? Did she expect him to complete all of this before hand? Was she crazy? The questions didn't end in Roy's mind as he just sat on his chair with mouth still hanging open. He didn't notice to weird looks coming from the other men.

Finally Breda spoke up. "Would you like a mug of coffee?"

"Breda, I'm going to need more than just a mug of coffee. But go get me one anyway," Roy answered without taking his eyes off the work. He listened at the red haired man stood up and left the room, maybe some coffee would help him. Even if it was only a little bit. He looked up to the rest of the men, and guessed that he had to get one with the day. "Fuery, how long it is until the meeting?"

"Ten more minutes, Sir." The young solider answered as he pushed his glasses back in place with his two finger tips.

"Are you going to even try working?" Havoc asked, as he worked on his own paperwork.

"If I am going to a meeting in ten minutes then there is really no point, I might miss the start of the meeting if I even try to begin working on this. I am sure Hawkeye will understand."

"Of course." The smoker muttered, his voice unheard to Mustang. Hawkeye going to kill him, after he buys her dinner of course. Havoc smirked at his thoughts and continued his work. He didn't know if Hawkeye was playing a joke on Mustang with the paperwork, but if that was her intentions that it was damn well funny. To see Mustang's face was a priceless moment, and Havoc would not forget it for a long time. Still, he was sure a kiss from her would make the alchemist feel much better again.

Although nether Hawkeye or Mustang had said anything, the blond knew that they had a relationship. And a romantic one at that too. It was so clear if you looked at the hints throughout the days they worked together. Like the way Mustang would look at Hawkeye when her back was turned, or how sometimes during the night hours Hawkeye would noticed the man sleeping at his desk. But she would just smile and let her commanding officer sleep peacefully. Or even when they were sure no one was looking, they would exchanged smiles to each other before getting on with work.

Plus there was the protective side of the Flame Alchemist as well.

Of course he was protective of all his men, but he was more so when it came to Hawkeye. But only in the most ridicules situations. Like when walking in the street, if another unknown man looks at Hawkeye with lust of something like that, Roy would send a cold, evil stare right back. Making that man run away in fear of his life.

All that alone was proof enough, and yet there was more.

Whenever Hughes tried to get Roy on a date, Hawkeye's autumn eyes would narrow and she was press her pen so hard into the paper she was working on that she would go through it and into the wooden desk. Havoc would sometime excused himself from the office so he could burst out laughing.

The hints and details were easy to see if you watched them both all day everyday, but it wasn't like the blond smoker had anything better to do. And it was sure funny as Hell to watch as well, he only wished more people could see it too.

But he released and already knew that if anyone outside the people Mustang trusted knew about it. It would be reported, and then Goodness know what would happen after that. And really Havoc didn't want to know. Maybe Hawkeye would be removed to a different military base, or Mustang would be demoted to a lower rank or something. Whatever happened it wasn't going to be good.

So until both of them agreed that trusted people could be told, Havoc would not mention it out loud. Of course that didn't mean he couldn't have a little fun every now and then, everyone needed to have a good laugh.

"I should be going now." Roy announce as he stood up from his seat. "It will probably take me five minutes to get there anyway," he made his way around the paperwork covered desk and headed for the door. "If anyone needs me, they can just wait until I can return. But don't make them wait in there, this office is already pact full."

"Yes Sir!" The four men answered at the same time, fully understanding the order.

Roy left the room and shut the door behind him, then walked down the hallway to the meeting room. This is going to be a long meeting, Roy thought as he gave a sigh. He really was going to be bored out of his mind. But still, he could get the promotion for it then he was more than willing sit through it.

And if it became boring beyond bearable, then there was always other things to think about.

"And I guessed that's everything." Riza said, with a sigh at the end. "What do you think?"

The conversation had gone better than Riza had thought. When she had first said that she was having Roy's child, he had yelled a loud 'what the Hell' down the phone. But that was the only sudden shouting from him. Hughes had let her explain everything, from when they first agreed to have a romantic relationship to the silver necklace she wore around her neck all the time, and to when she was sent to the North and Roy tried to get her back. She didn't however give too much detail into how she became pregnant, she was sure Maes could figure that out himself.

Hughes had said a few words while she had talked, just a simple 'yes' or 'I can see your point', and 'that is understandable'. But other than that he had listened carefully to what she had to say to him. And now that she had finished, Riza was waiting for Maes to say anything more than just a simple sentence.

"Well first things first," Maes began, in his serious tone of voice. "I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND ROY!" His voice changed in a matter of seconds to overjoyed and Riza suspected that he was jumping up and down on the ground. "I was wondering why Roy didn't go on any of the dates I tried to set up for him, but I never thought...but that doesn't matter. I'm so happy that Roy finally has a woman for life, and a pretty one at that too."

Riza blushed on what Hughes said, but was not sure if it was the hormones or not.

"Maes, could I have your answer?"

"Oh, right of course! Well there is no doubt about it. Me and Gracia will be more than willing to help you and Roy. I can't wait to tell the soon to be father, could you put him on the phone now?"

Riza laughed nervously, "well that's the next thing. He doesn't know yet."

"Really?" Maes asked, sounding surprised. "Did you just find out today?"

"Yes, but I still want to make sure. I know there is a doctor who deals with this sort of thing in Central, do you know about it?"

"Well of course I do. Gracia went to see her when she was pregnant as well. When can you come into Central?"

"I can get the train today, I'm sure I can just leave a note for Must- Roy." Riza knew that she was clearly going to have problems calling Roy his first name in front of Maes and Gracia. She just wasn't use to it.

"Well get on the train and I will see you at the station." Maes said, and then without even a good bye the man mentioned one last comment about how herself and Roy were truly a prefect couple and then put the phone down leaving Riza hanging on the line.

"Well that went better than expected." The blonde military woman muttered to herself as she placed the phone down herself. All she needed to do now was pack for the trip, and then leave. Oh and there was also the letter Riza had to write for Roy. God knows what would happen if she just left the city without telling him.

Heading back to the bedroom, the first place Riza went to was the large wardrobe that she had Roy shared. Opening it, she started digging through the clothes until she finally reached a travel bag that could carry everything Riza planned to take. She threw it out of the wardrobe and and dropped the bag on the bed, she then returned to the wardrobe to continue fishing out clothes that she could wear and other things for the trip to Central.

It was fairly easy to find the things she need, Riza wasn't the kind of woman who would pack uncountable pairs of clothes just for a short trip. And soon after pack her clothes she went around the apartment finding other things. Which didn't take her longer than she thought, one of those things being the rest of the pregnancies tests. It was stupid to take them but still Riza couldn't help it.

After she had finished with the bag it was time for the note for Roy, and Riza made up her mind that it should be simple. The paper was easy to find and so was the pens, and Riza moved with both of them to the coffee table.

She thought for a moment before putting pen to paper.

Roy,

I'm going to Central for a while, nothing to worry about. When I get back I will explain everything. If you really need to contact me then call Maes and Gracia. Also, please feed Black Hayate.

Love you.

Riza.

Leaving the note of the coffee table where Roy would find it without any problems, Riza got up and walked to the bedroom only to return seconds later with the travel bag in her hand. She said her good byes to Black Hayate, and finally headed to the door.

It wasn't until she left the building that she released that she had a large craving for black coffee along with toast.

I got the idea for the craving from my father, who at the time of writing this was drinking coffee and eating toast with jam. So I just used it for the story.

Next chapter coming soon, hopefully it's won't be a long wait!
