Heart of the Home
She didn't know how this had happened. They had always been careful. She perched on the bed, staring unseeing at the results before her. Riza didn't know if she could do this. They had never really discussed the matter other than a few off handed comments after Elysia's birth. Truthfully, it scared her.
"Riza?" Her husband appeared in the doorway. "I'm home. Do you want pasta for dinner or should I try that new recipe…Riza, what's wrong?"
He sat down beside her on the bed. She just leaned into him.
Roy wrapped an arm around her. "Riza?"
She handed him the test. He blinked at it, almost as if he didn't know what it was, before hugging her closer to him.
"You're pregnant?" He pressed a hand against her stomach. "Really?"
"I've taken three tests in the last hour. They were all positive."
He smiled and kissed her forehead. "So what are you worried about?"
"I'm scared," she admitted. "What kind of mother would I be? I spent most of my adult life killing people."
Roy kissed her forehead again and then her lips. "You'll do just fine. I'm scared too, you know. I never thought I'd have the chance to start a family with you."
Pulling her closer, Roy wrapped his arms around her waist. Riza leaned against him, letting her nerves calm. They could do this. After all, they had survived Ishbal and overthrowing a government. Parenting couldn't be that hard.
