Timeline: ~two years after the promised day.

Outline: winry has a secret to tell, but her mind is making up scary scenarios.

Edward and Winry sat on a bench at the train station waiting for the westbound train to central to arrive. Winry was riddling on about 'don't forget to oil your leg' and 'you'll call me right?' and 'hurry home, I'll miss you'.

It was honestly normal for any girl to do that. Especially now they were married, it had been almost a year now and they seemed to still be in that newlywed stage.

"And, Ed?" Winry asked, looking over to him. "Are you even listening to me?"

Ed turned to look at her, "Of course I am."

"When you find out why Mustang wants you, please let me know. I don't see why you're going. It's not like you're in the military anymore. He has no command over you whatsoever-"

"Winry, you're rambling again"

She stopped and looked down to her feet. The sound of a whistle in the distance alerted the Elrics of the trains arrival and both stood.

"I'll call you as soon as the train gets to the station" Ed said as he headed across the platform.

"Wait, Ed!" Winry said, wincing slightly at the screeching of the breaks.

"Yeah?" He asked

"I have to tell you something" she said, her brow furrowing as her hands made way to her stomach.

"Well, what is it? The train will be leaving soon"

"I..." She hesitated. How would he react? "I'm pregnant"

It all paused. Ed's eyes widened and his jaw slackened and he stuttered to find the right words. "W-w-why didn't you tell me sooner?!"

"I haven't known that long. Besides, I wasn't sure how you'd react!" She cried, tears beginning to glisten her eyes. Stupid hormones. "I was scared!"

"Scared of what? That I'd leave you?"

Her silence answered his question. And he sighed before walking closer and pulling her into a hug.

"Winry Elric, I love you. I would never leave you. You're pregnant" he pushed her to arms length, "I must say, I'm surprised, but that's incredible" his smile was huge and he kissed her forehead.

"I'm glad" she said, blinking back the tears. The train whistled signaling one minute until departure

Ed looked back at the train, "I have to go now. I'll call you as soon as I can" he smiled again and kissed her, "I love you"

And with one final goodbye, Edward left Winry on the platform to board the train. Boy was he going to brag to Mustang.
