Timeline: Six years after the promised day
Outline: Winry comes home to find some admirers
"I'm home!" Winry called as she walked through the front door. Going grocery shopping had taken longer than expected, and she simply hoped that Ed hadn't misplaced the kids while she was gone. I mean, not that she had that little faith in him, but one Edward against a four and one year old, there were many ways it could go wrong.
When she didn't hear a response, she headed to the kitchen to put groceries away.
"Ed?" She called again, taking a loaf of bread from the paper bag.
Again no response.
Winry set the loaf down on the counter and headed for the study. Maybe he was reading and had gotten lost in thought?
As she got closer she began to hear the distinct sound of paper being torn. Dread filled her and she quickly made way to the study and opened the door. She paused at the sight.
Edward lay in the middle of the floor asleep with a book laying on his chest. Little Kaitlyn was in her father's arm, but obviously trying to get free. A piece of tin foil was wrapped around her leg and she was pulling at it and gumming on her fingers simultaneously. However, it was Elias that drew her attention as he ripped a piece of foil from the packaging. He then proceeded to wrap it around his left leg.
"Elias, what are you doing?" Winry asked, sure she had a pretty good idea, but wanted confirmation.
He turned to look at his mom then stood and trotted over to her. With a big grin, he proclaimed, "Look, mommy! Now we have a shiny leg like daddy!"
