I long to go Home Chap.8
It was about two in the morning when Pinako awoke to what she thought were people talking. She got up and followed it to the living room. There she saw Edward talking and thrashing around in his sleep his voice got louder as he yelled "NO! I WON'T LET YOU HURT HER!" She walked closer and he Began to fight the air she got about two feet away when he sat straight up and took a deep breath and his eyes shot open. He looked at her "AHHHH!" and jumped up in a stance.
"Ed are you ok?" she asked starring at him.
"Granny is that you?" Edward dropped his hands and tried to focus on her.
"Yes" she turned the light on "What's wrong? Why are you yelling?"
He looked around and in a soft voice "I'm home."
"Yes Ed your home." she didn't know what to think "Ed are you having nightmares?"
Edward sat down and put his hands to his head "Yeah I have them quite often."
Pinako sat down next to him "What are they about?"
Edward took a deep breath and began to explain "Winry mostly." He rubbed his forehead "She's in danger and I can't get to her in time. I try but it's like I'm stuck in glue or something." he sighed deeply "I just can't move fast enough to find her or get to her."
"Well she's safe and so are you so please try to get some sleep morning comes early around here." she got to the door "Goodnight Ed"
"Goodnight granny" giving her a cheesy smile "I'm sorry I woke you."
"Quite alright" she was wondering now about his nightmares. She knew he had probably tortured his subconscious on the other side and it manifested itself into nightmares. She now knew he had probably let the thoughts of Winry consume his soul "Poor boy."
Edward sat there unable to sleep so he began to wonder the house. He came to the basement door and remembered Winry's workshop used to be there. When he opened the door he couldn't believe the mess. There were piles of automail arms and legs everywhere "Wow she looks backed up" he said softly. He knew not to touch anything or she would kill him. So he decided right there he would help her in another way.
He went back upstairs and tried to sleep only to awake early. So he got up and made breakfast. He was used to doing this so it was easy. He then woke Albert up and he knew Jade would be up soon because she had always got up at six thirty ever since she was a baby.
Al came in and joined him in the kitchen "Morning brother I see your back on schedule as always."
"Yeah I thought I would help out some." He said setting the table.
"Good job" Al smiled grabbing a piece of bread.
Jade came in rubbing her eyes "What's for breakfast dad?" hugging him around the waist.
"Well let's see eggs, ham and bread." he motioned for her to hand him her plate he filled it for her and turned to hand it back to her.
There in the doorway was Crystal rubbing her eyes and yawning "Well good morning do you want breakfast?"
She nodded shyly "Yes Ed dad" she sat down as Edward snickered at her calling him that.
He filled her plate along with Albert's and sat both of them on the table. Albert came in and plopped down in his chair.
"There's my handsome nephew bout time you realize foods on the table." The boy smiled a bright smile at Edward that reminded him Al when they were younger.
"I'm going to get dressed brother can you make sure the girls get ready." Al said munching on a piece of bread and heading for the door.
"Al I was planning on going with you because I'll have to pick them up." he said putting the pans in the sink.
"Oh yeah that's right." Al walked out to get dressed.
Edward looked at the girls "Alright girls you need to get some clothes and get them on and brush your hair please."
Both girls took off out of the kitchen. Edward was finishing the dishes when from behind him he heard "HELP ED DAD I'M STUCK!"
He turned to see Crystal's shirt stuck on the top of her head with her arms sticking out the holes.
"Come here" he chuckled then he pulled her shirt down over her head "There is that better?"
She smiled a big bright smile at him "Thank you I thought I'd be stuck like that."
"I wouldn't let that happen" he said as he watched her skip out of the kitchen.
Albert came in with his shoes untied "Here let Uncle tie those for you." reaching down to tie his shoes.
"Thanks Uncle" Albert grabbed another piece of bread and downed his milk.
"UGH!" Edward made a face "I don't see how you drink that stuff."
In a few minutes all the kids were in the kitchen for one last inspection by Edward. "Alright you all look great" He looked at Al "Let's go."
They all walked out the door and down the road. Edward and Al dropped the kids off and Edward told them he would be there to pick them up.
When they got home Al started reading his alchemy books and Edward finished the dishes and started reading the paper.
All was quiet till he heard a THUD then footsteps running down the stairs. He dropped the paper a little and looked over the top to see a frantic Winry entering the room.
"WERE LATE! I OVER SLEPT!" She was running back and forth from room to room "WHERE ARE THE KIDS?"
In a calm voice "Winry."
"OH MY GOSH, WHERE ARE THEY? WE HAVE TO GET THEM TO SCHOOL!"
"Winry" he said folding the paper as his head followed her back and forth.
"EDWARD! HOW CAN YOU JUST SIT THERE?" She stopped in front of him.
"I took them to school already." he smiled.
"What" she began to breath easier then she got another panicked look "Breakfast! Did you-"
He cut her off "I made them breakfast."
She had a shocked look on her face "Y-Y-you did?"
"Yes I can cook you know just a little something I picked up after Jade and Albert were born." smiling a cocky smile "They had to eat."
"Huh" she breathed easier "Well then I guess I'll find something to eat."
"Your's and granny's is on the stove' he got up "Would you like it now?"
"Uh yeah that would be great Ed." she watched him walk to the kitchen door "Thank you."
"Your welcome." He turned and looked at her standing there again in her nightgown. She was so beautiful then that feeling came over him again "Uh Winry can you put a robe on please, I mean not that I don't like what I see" then he smiled a devious smile "I like it a lot and I don't know how much self control I have left.'
Just then Pinako walked in the room "He's right dear you do need something else on. We wouldn't want him popping a vein in his head trying not to stare."
Winry looked down and realized her nightgown was pretty thin "Uh I'm sorry I'll be right back."
"Good control there Ed" Pinako slapped him on the back "If I was a guy and she was dressed like that I'd have her bent over the couch."
"GRANNY!" Edward thought for a minute " The thought did cross my mind."
"Your only human now how about that breakfast I'm starved." She puffed her pipe.
He walked to the door chuckling "Yes Granny" he began to serve her breakfast. Winry came in wearing a robe and sat down as Edward served her. Then he got a cup of tea and sat down at the table as both women took a bite.
A shocked look crossed both their faces "Wow Ed this is delicious" Winry said stuffing bites in her mouth.
"Thanks" Edward said trying to hold the smile back. "Winry I noticed that your workshop is packed full of stuff. How about I help you straighten it up today?" He sipped his tea.
She nodded trying to savor the last bite of breakfast "Sure Ed I could use the help."
He smiled "Alright then we'll get started after breakfast ok?"
She nodded in agreement it would be nice to have help cleaning that mess up. She had fallen so far behind and let things go. She only took small jobs on since Crystal was born because she liked to spend time with her when the girl didn't have her nose in an alchemy book like her father.
Winry finished breakfast and went to get dressed while Edward cleaned up the dishes. Pinako sat at the table puffing on her pipe.
"Ed I know you had your reasons for leaving last time. But you left a lot of pain and heartache behind. Are you planning on going back to work for the military? Because if your going to hurt Winry again I'll kill you where you stand."
Edward flinched at her words then he turned to her "Granny as far as the military's concerned after five years I was considered dead. I'm not planning on getting involved in any of their problems anymore and as for Winry I would never hurt her again." Edward glanced at the floor then back to her "I would give up my life a second time to make her happy and if that's what I have to do then so be it."
"I guess we'll see Ed" she puffed her pipe.
'What!' he thought not only did he have to prove to Winry he would stay but now he had to prove it to Pinako. Although he didn't blame her for not trusting him because of all the times he came and went. This was going to be a long road but he'd do it for Winry.
Winry came in and saw the tension between them she squinted her eyes at Pinako as if to say 'what did you do?' Pinako just smiled and puffed her pipe.
"Are you ready to start?" She asked Edward with his back to her.
"Sure" He turned and managed a half ass smile and followed her to the basement.
Winry stood there with her hands on her hips "I don't know how I let it get such a mess."
Edward grabbed a crate and walked to one side "I'll start putting this stuff in here."
"Ok I'll start on the pile behind you" she went to grab a crate but he picked it up for her.
"Here I'll get that" he sat it next to her and turned he was only inches from her as she felt the electricity run through her body at his closeness. He sat the crate down and went back to his.
They had been working about two hours when Edward reached back for some parts. Winry did the same and their hands touched. Both their heads shot around as they looked in each others eyes. They both stood up and Winry started to fidget with her dress some.
"UH, I think we've done-" she stopped as he stepped closer.
"Enough for now" he walked closer and she backed up into the counter then he took another step and pinned her between him and the counter. He reached up and caressed her cheek " You are so beautiful I was such a fool to have left you." then he leaned in and kissed her.
Every bit of her being wanted to stop him but she lost all common sense when his lips met hers. She parted her lips for his tongue to invade her mouth and he took advantage of that slipping his tongue into her warm mouth. Her lips were so sweet as he pressed against her and began to run his hand up her side. She let out a slight moan as he reached down and lifted her by her thighs and sat her on the counter. He began to kiss her neck and she couldn't believe how she felt it was sheer bliss. Then her lips found his again as she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist pulling him closer to her body. All she wanted to feel was him, all of him, every inch of his being. Edward couldn't believe she was letting him do this he thought she wanted time but he wanted her more. He reached down and pulled his shirt over his head and dropped it to the floor and giving her a slight grin he began to ravish her lips again. Winry couldn't contain herself she began to run her hands up his back the coolness of his automail pressed against her chest soothed the fire rising inside of her. Their entangling bodies were sending them into a frenzy as their hands explored each other. Edward could feel himself getting to the point of wanting to take her right there on the counter when they heard a voice behind them.
"Uh Um" Both stopped and turned to see the brown headed slightly built guy standing on the stairs.
"ROBERT!" Winry said trying to get her dress down over her exposed parts.
Edward turned and stepped in back of the table to hide the major hard on he had at that point.
"Uh Robert this is Edward" she was trying to wipe the sweat off her forehead "He came home."
Robert looked at Edward with his long golden hair and gold eyes "Thee Edward" He blinked repeatedly "The Fullmetal Alchemist?"
Edward stuck his hand out stretching over the table "Yeah nice to meet you Robert."
Robert shook his hand " I can't believe it you're here. You are a very lucky guy to have a woman wait for you for so long."
"I know" he said softly looking at Winry and picking up the box in front of him "I'm gonna take this box with me ok and let you two talk."
Robert stopped him "No that's quite alright Edward. I'm okay with this. Winry has always made it clear she loves you. Now that your back I just want to see her happy."
Edward didn't know what to think of this guy. He was just going to step aside if it would have been the other way around Edward would have beat the shit out of him "Well that's great of you to understand." he didn't know if he should be suspicious or what.
"Winry I'm happy for you and I hope we can all be friends" he looked at Edward "I'd like to pick the brain of the Fullmetal alchemist one day."
"You're an alchemist then?" Edward asked intrigued.
" I like to learn about alchemy" Robert smiled "I need someone to teach me then maybe someday I can transmute something."
"Anytime you want to talk just ask!" Edward snickered as he walked by him carrying the box and stopping to pick his shirt up he turned to Winry "I'm going to take a very cold shower." he turned back to Robert "Nice to meet you and thanks for being such a nice friend to Winry."
As Edward struggled to get the box up the stairs both Winry and Robert snickered quietly.
Edward got to the top of the stairs "Whew, now that was a strange situation to be caught in. Now for that very cold shower." He started outside and grabbed the hose and shoved it down his pants and turned it on because his body was still on fire for hers.
