The second chapter, if you please.
Trisha-Melissa Elric: 3

"Here. Put your had there."
"Here?"
"A little lower. Now, there. Keep it there."
And Trisha kept her hand there and waited. And waited. Then waited some more.
"Liza, why doesn't it-?"
Kick
The little girl quickly jerked her hand away from Riza's swollen belly when she felt the light twitch coming inside of her. She looked amazed and a bit spooked, yet then her face brightened.
"I felt it! It moved!" Trisha said excitedly and put her hand back where it had been. It was not long when there was another kick, this one a little harder than the earlier. Riza smiled at the girl's excitement and rubbed her big stomach on higher than where Trisha's hand was. And Roy sat right next to Trisha on the couch and proudly watched his fiancé, obviously looking like he wanted to but his own hand there too and feel their baby's movements (even though he had practically slept his hand over Riza's stomach the night when she had woken him up and announced that the baby had started kicking).
Then the baby seemed to give a one sharp kick, because Riza gave a yelp and Trisha suddenly took her hand away again and seemed confused.
"Why is it kicking you so hard, Liza?" Trisha asked. "It doesn't like you?"
Riza laughed softly and rubbed her stomach. "No, it's not that. It's only good thing that the baby is kicking. It's a sign about that everything's all right and the baby is growing."
Trisha still seemed suspicious.
Kick
"Does it hurt? It seems to kick a lot…"
Riza shook her head. "Not actually. At first it felt weird, but for now I've learned to love all the movement the baby makes and I always wait the next one with longing."
At this point Roy chuckled a bit and got Trisha's attention. "I remember the time your mum was waiting for you." he said. "And I also remember how you were active to kick her. They were actually thinking that you might become a football player as you grow up."
Trisha seemed distraught from what she had just heard. Her golden eyes were round and her lower lip was caught between her teeth.
"Did I kick mommy?" she asked quietly. "Why? Did I kick daddy, too?"
Riza decided to answer that since he noticed Roy's confused look and knew the man wouldn't be able to handle this correctly.
"Like I said, it's normal for unborn babies to kick and make movements. And no, you didn't kick you daddy. You were inside you mommy's tummy, remember?" She gave Trisha a warm smile, trying to stop the girl feel guilty.
Still looking a little uneasy, Trisha nodded and went back feeling Riza's stomach, and for the first time giggled when she felt a light kick again.

"Mustang." Roy said as he picked up the phone (after two rings already).
"Hi, it's me." Roy recognized Edward's voice saying and sighed. usually Ed had something to complain when he called.
"Hello, Edward. What gives me the pleasure to talk with you tonight?" Roy said sarcastically, deciding to be prepared to what he knew was coming anyway.
"Listen, Roy…" Edward said with a serious voice and without any 'bastard' or 'asshole', much to Roy's surprise. "When Trish was over there today, did something happen?"
Roy frowned, thinking through the happenings of the day and not remembering anything special to happen.
"Nothing unusual, I think. Why do you ask?"
"Well, the thing is, when I took her home, the first thing she did was run to Rachel and apologize her for that she had hurt her."
Immediately Roy understood what was going on and was just about to tell Edward what was the cause of Trisha's weird acting, but Edward had more to come.
"And, the most confusing thing of all-" The sentence was left halfway as Roy heard a yelp of pain and some rumbling from the other side of line.
"Edward, are you still there?" he asked.
"Roy." Edward said with now somehow whining voice. "She's kicking me."
So yeah, it's true. They're having a baby of their own :3 After the next chapter we really get to the point og this series. So until then, review and tell me how I'm doing, ne?
And thanks for the reviews I've already got from you. I would answer them but there's something wrong with the system and I can't send anything :( Hope at least this chapter will go out as it's supposed to.
