AN: Well, Well let's get on with it no time to waste.
I long to go home Chap. 16
Edward rolled over in the hay and looked at Winry as she started picking hay out of his hair "Edward"
He smiled at her "Yeah"
"I think we should get dressed" She said trying to sit up as he grabbed her around the waist.
"Awe Winry come on one more time" He smiled one of his cutest smile "Pleeeease! you know you want to."
She pushed him into the hay and landed on top of him "My gosh Edward you drive me crazy." She began kissing his neck.
"Ahhh" He whispered as his eyes rolled back in his head and he put his arm around her.
They couldn't believe they were acting like sex crazed teenagers. They were laughing and giggling as they explored every inch of each other. Edward stopped and looked into her eyes "You know Winry maybe I did miss the best parts of being with you, But just think it wouldn't be as much fun as it is right now."
She giggled "Your right Ed we probably would have been sick of each other by now."
He stopped and gave her a sincere look "Winry I could never get sick of you my long legged goddess." He smiled as he pulled her down on him "Now come to daddy."
"Mmmmm" She giggled as he flipped her over and jumped on her in the hay.
Hawkeye walked over to Mustang "Sir can you help me I need to find the bathroom?" she turned to walk off and fell against the seat but caught herself.
Mustang jumped up "Riza are you okay?" he asked wrapping his arm around her and helping her to the seat.
"Yeah I just got a little light-headed" She looked at him "I'll be fine Sir."
"If your sure" he stood up "I'll go find you some water."
As he walked away she felt sick to her stomach she looked around then opened the window stuck her head out and threw up 'oh my gosh what's wrong with me?' she pulled her head in 'I hope that didn't hit anyone' she laughed a little picturing it hitting someone 'I'm so sick in the head.'
Mustang came back and handed her a glass of water "Here drink this" he bent down "Are you sure your okay?"
"Yeah I feel better now" She snickered thinking of the window.
Just then Al came bursting through the door "WHERE'S ED? I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE FOLLOWED ME!"
Mustang turned around "What the hell?" his eyes got huge looking at the glowing ball following Al.
Al turned "It's Faith ….the ghost girl I slept with."
"WHAT?" the General stood up "The hell are you talking about Al?"
"Alphonse I didn't mean to scare you" she said forming into a human sector form.
"FAITH what are you doing? You shouldn't be here" He looked around "How did you get here?' He put his hands over his eyes "IT WAS JUST A BOOTY CALL…I-I-I'M SORRY!"
"I'm connected to you now Al" she said floating towards him.
Just then Edward and Winry came through the door laughing until they saw her. Edward rubbed his eyes "Al?"
Al shook his head "It's Faith she followed me."
She turned towards them "Hello Edward and Winry."
Both gawked as they slowly waved "Hi"
"Look Faith I'm sorry about the other night I didn't know you were…" Al stopped.
"Dead" she smiled "It's okay I wanted to be there for you. You needed someone and I knew you were hurting. Alphonse you set me free now I can rest in peace. I just came to say thank you and I hope it helped the other night."
Al put his hand to his head "Uh….yeah….thanks it did."
"You Alphonse were the only boy who ever talked to me and you made that part of my life better. I'm just sorry I'm dead because I would really like to see what would happen if I was alive."
"Yeah…I could see myself dating you." Al smiled a cheesy smile.
"Really" She leaned over and kissed his cheek "Your sweet Al I will miss your smiling face my love. I have to go now but remember Alphonse life is what you make it so don't dwell on the past." and with that she was gone.
Mustang looked at Edward he shrugged his shoulders and turned to Al who had a dumb founded look on his face as he turned to Mustang.
Winry looked at a green faced Riza "Uh, what's wrong with her?" she pointed.
Mustang's eye got wide as he remembered that she was sick and turned around "Are you oooookay?" as he said it she threw up on his and Alphonse's shoes.
"My shoes" Al tried not to look down.
Mustang made a face trying not to puke himself "Oh God Riza what did you eat?"
She looked at him with a 'Can I shoot you dead now look?' he patted her back "Never mind."
Winry looked at Edward and whispered in his ear "Hey I think she might be pregnant. How much do you want to bet?"
Edward looked at Riza "Not much because you might be right." He knew how much she wanted a child and he knew what Mustang was planning so what better timing.
"Hey we'll be pulling into the station soon so let's all sit down." Edward said walking by Riza as he bent down to her ear "I think you might have gotten that baby you wanted."
She looked at him in disbelief then thought for a second and smile came over her face like Edward had never seen on her "Do you think so?"
He just shook his head yes and grinned she sat back and held her stomach ' Wow a baby I'll have to get a doctor to check me out when we get back."
Edward turned to Mustang "General?" He looked around "Where are my girls?"
Mustang got another stressed look "They were here a minute ago."
Winry looked out the window and saw shadows on the mountain "They're on the roof ED!"
"WHAT!" Edward ran to the door and climbed the ladder and there he spotted Jade, Crystal and Albert.
"KIDS WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" he yelled.
They turned and started walking back to him "WE JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT WAS UP HERE!"
"Well get down before you give your mother a heart attack." he said helping them down the ladder.
As they walked in the car Winry ran forward and grabbed them both "My girls! Are you okay?"
Jade had a strange feeling about this she had never had a mother but the hug Winry gave her made her feel safe and loved as Winry kissed both of their heads and yelled at them "Don't ever do that again you guys could fall or get seriously hurt." she looked at Edward as he just shook his head.
"Winry" Jade said softly "Can I call you mom? Because I've never had one and you're the closest thing I've got to one."
Winry was shocked as she looked at the girl and then smiled "Of course you can Jade I would be honored to be your mom."
Edward just smiled as he looked at Al and Al nodded a satisfying yes then he turned to Albert and gave him a stern look.
"Sorry dad" Albert said hugging him around the waist.
"You shouldn't be on the roof Albert Winry's right you could have got hurt." Al said sternly.
The train pulled into the station and they all departed picking up their bags.
"Let's get you guy's settled in and get you to the hospital Fullmetal." Mustang said helping a sick Hawkeye off the train.
She pushed away from him and stood straight "I think I'm okay now Sir." She winked at Edward as she walked off with Winry.
Mustang looked at Edward and smiled "I'm going to get a ring on the way to the hospital. Can you keep an eye on her for me? I think she's really sick."
"General that's great so you don't need my help?" Edward was hoping he could handle this on his own because after being on the roof of the train he wasn't breathing right and he just wanted to get checked in and go to the hospital.
"Yeah Fullmetal I got it you go ahead and I'll meet you at the hospital in an hour." Then he turned and walked down the street.
As Edward caught up to everyone Hawkeye looked around "Where's the General?"
"Oh he had to run an errand he meet up with us in an hour." Edward grinned.
Hawkeye wondered what the hell was going on but she let it go thinking about her being pregnant. What was her life going to hold from here on out? She had to wait till she was sure before she made any decisions about what to do next.
Walking up to the hotel Edward turned to her "I know you want to get to the hospital so go ahead we'll meet you there after we check in."
Just then Armstrong came walking up "I heard you were coming Edward Elric so I thought I would relieve the Major General."
Edward nodded "Nice to see you Major" He looked the muscular man up and down "And in uniform."
"Well I guess I'm leaving you in good hands Edward so I'll see you at the hospital in an hour" Hawkeye turned to walk away "Don't let him be late Major."
Armstrong Straightened up "Yes ma'am."
"Well let's check in" Winry smiled as her and the girls walked into the lobby.
Edward turned to Armstrong "Major can I ask a favor?"
"ANYTHING FOR YOU EDWAR ELRIC!" Armstrong flexed.
"Yeeeah" Edward exhaled "Can you take my girls to the library to see the alchemy books. I don't want them to have to sit in a depressing hospital all day. When I'm done I'll join you."
"Yes I would love to show them the library" Armstrong was a sucker for Edwards girls. While Edward was gone every time Winry would bring Crystal in for a visit he would tell her about her fathers antics and discuss alchemy with her.
"Thanks" they both walked into the lobby "Girls" Edward motioned for them over "The Major is going to take you to the library and I'll join you when I'm done okay.'
Both girls jumped up and down clapping "Thanks dad" They each grabbed on of the Majors hands as they drug the man that towered over them out the door asking him question after question.
Edward watched them leave and just laughed as he started coughing only this time the taste of blood entered his mouth.
Winry walked up behind him "We're all set" she said smiling.
As he turned she got a horrified look on her face "Win…ry" He said softly.
"EDWARD!" she reached in her bag and grabbed a handkerchief and put it to his mouth as tears formed in her eyes "What is going on?" she asked wiping the blood from his mouth.
"I don't know" he said taking the handkerchief and spitting into it. He composed himself and looked at her "Let's get the bags to the room and get to the hospital." This was something that really scared him. The only time he ever bled was after a fight 'Am I dying?' he thought 'Is this my punishment for coming back?'
Winry was trying to keep it together but when they got to the room she lost it and began to cry uncontrollably "Edward are you going to die?" she asked looking at him.
"I don't know Winry" he rinsed his mouth out "I'm just as surprised as you are" he walked over and pulled her into a hug and held her "Listen Winry I'm going to do everything I can to stay with you and the girls alright."
"What if it's out of your control Ed? I need to understand what's going on. I'm so scared of losing you again." She leaned back and looked at him and through tears and sniffling "Edward you're my soul mate if I lose you a part of me goes too. I've only ever felt complete when your around."
He pulled her into his shoulder and realized he had told Mustang the same thing about her on the train "I know" he looked at the ceiling 'God I know your there please help me.' Edward had learned about religion on the other side. He knew there was a God and he learned about his son the Savior. He always knew God would make a way for him to come back to Winry but was this the price he had to pay to be here? Then he remembered God is loving this was the unseen works of the devil so he began to pray.
"Edward what are you doing?" Winry leaned back and gave him a confused look.
"Praying for a miracle Winry" he smiled a soft smile "Come on lets get to the hospital" He reached up and wiped her tears away "No more tears only happiness from here on okay." he nodded at her.
"Okay" she nodded yes back.
They got to the hospital and he spotted Hawkeye sitting by herself just gazing off into no where.
"Hey why are you over here?" Edward asked as she looked up she noticed a spot of blood by his mouth.
"Edward you have a little" she pointed to the side of her mouth and he reached up and wiped it away.
"I know" he looked around "Where's the General?"
"He went to get me something to drink." She looked up at both of them "You were right I'm pregnant."
"That's great" Edward smiled and Winry sat down next to her. Winry looked at her then to Edward then back to her. Hawkeye knew something wasn't right but she didn't want to ask with him standing right there. She knew Winry had something weighing heavy on her mind.
Just then Mustang came walking down the hall "I'VE GOT IT MY LITTLE CHERRY BLOSSOM!" he was holding a glass of water in the air.
Hawkeye through her head back "Oh my gosh why does he have to express himself so outwardly?"
"I think it's cute." Winry replied.
She looked at Winry "Yeaaaah" as she took the glass from Mustang "Thanks Sir."
Mustang walked up to Edward "Are you ready for this Fullmetal?"
"As ready as I'll ever be General. I want it over with so I can go home" Edward really didn't know why he was here except the fact that he was now coughing up blood.
"There's something I have to do first" Mustang walked over to Hawkeye and reached in his pocket and pulled out a little box. Leaning down in front of her "Riza for twenty years you have stood beside me. I have always loved you but I never showed it and being with you these past weeks made me realize what I've pushed aside for years." He opened the box with the engagement ring in it "Riza Hawkeye I don't want to live another day without you by my side….Will you marry me?"
Hawkeye just stared at him for a moment then she smiled "It would be my honor Roy Mustang to become your wife." she looked at her stomach "Now I have a surprise for you" she looked into his eyes "I'm pregnant."
He smiled "You have a little Mustang in there?" touching her stomach.
"Yes Sir" she said softly.
Winry put her head on Edwards shoulder "That's so beautiful."
"Yeah" Edward smiled "I think he's in shock."
Mustang jumped up "WE'RE PREGNANT! WOOOO HOOOOO!" as he began dancing around.
"It's good to see my friends happy" Edward grabbed Winry's arm and gently pulled her around the corner.
"Ed…ward what's going-" He cut her off.
"No matter what Winry before this day is over I'm marring you." He had a very serious look on his face "When we get back to Resembool I'll give you the weeding you want but by tonight you will be my wife."
"Ooookay Edward" She was a little confused "But I thought we were getting married at home?"
"We are" He turned and looked at everyone the back to her "Winry your going to have to help me make some decisions and we have to be married to do that. Plus I'm not waiting one more day or week to get married. I want you to have my last name and to be mine for good."
She knew what he was saying that if something happened to him she would have to be the one to make the decisions for him. She closed her eyes and held back the tears then she looked at him again "Alright Edward what ever you want" She never thought that her word would be the one to choose if he lived or died but it would be something she would have to face sooner or later she just didn't know when.
"Thank you Winry" he pulled her into his arms "I love you so much" his voice cracked as he said it and she felt the tear hit her cheek form his face.
She leaned back and wiped his cheek "No more tears only happiness from here on remember."
He kissed her lips gently "You and my kids are the best thing in my life and thank you for reminding me of that."
They walked over to Hawkeye and mustang and gave their congratulations and Winry stayed with Hawkeye as they made wedding plans.
