A/N - Last time I updated, I accidentally posted a chapter ahead, so I deleted that chapter, and reposted it after the correct one. This is two chapters. I don't know if I'm being confusing or not, so just try and understand XD

Chapter Five

When Ed woke up, all he remembered from before was going through some kind of excruciating pain. It wasn't there anymore, but he remembered it all so vividly…He let a soft moan pass through his lips, his eyes fluttering open. Bright white lights shone around the room, and a familiar voice greeted him.

"Oh, thank god, brother, I was so worried!"

"Am I in a hospital?" the seventeen year old slowly asked, propping himself up on his elbows and realizing that yes, he was. "I hate hospitals. When can I go home?"

"Give the doctors some time. They ran a couple tests, but they're still waiting on the results or something."

Ed let himself lay back down with an exhausted sigh, rolling over so he was resting on his side and facing his younger brother. "Well," he began," Did they at least tell you what they thought it might be?"

"They said that you seemed totally fine."

Ed yawned, "Maybe it was just stress like you said…"

"That was really scary, though."

"I know." The blonde agreed, closing his eyes again. He was way too tired to worry about his health. At least he was alive, and he was ninety nine percent sure that he wasn't suffering from some crazy, incurable disease.

A door opened in the front of the room, and a doctor stepped in, wearing one of those white lab coats and carrying a few sheets of paper on top of a red folder. "Good evening, Ed." He announced, and the teen sat up again, rubbing his eyes tiredly, "Your test results are in."

"They are?" Ed asked, looking up at the doctor, "So I'm okay then?"

"Well, yeah, but you should probably be more careful. It was only stress, but getting so worked up isn't good for your baby, you know."

"Come again?"

"Your baby. You should avoid anything stressful, especially in the first trimester."

"My…baby?" Ed slowly repeated, "Wait, you mean I'm pregnant!?" he suddenly exclaimed, sitting up straight, bright, golden eyes widened, hands grasping the sheets beside him. "That can't be! I've never even--"

"You're pregnant." The doctor insisted, "You didn't know? Haven't you gone through any morning sickness yet?"

Suddenly, the flu ordeal clicked in the back of his mind and it all made sense. "You don't understand, doctor, I've never even had sex before." He started to explain, and then paused, "How…how far along am I?"

"A little more than three weeks."

Ed's jaw slightly dropped, and Al looked over to him, "Brother, you haven't really…?"

Ed ignored the comment, turning to the doctor, "So I can leave?"

"I'll bring in some papers for you to sign and then you're good to go. Just remember to take care of that baby. I wouldn't want to see you in here again." He added with a typical doctor smile and left. As soon as he was gone Al started up with the questioning again.

"Brother, I'm so disappointed! How long have you-"

"I know what happened." Ed interrupted, "You remember that night I didn't come home?"

"And you said you spent the night at the office. What about it?"

"I woke up under the highway by our house. I was sick. I didn't remember anything over the course of the evening until then. Some teenagers brought me here, then I went to work and then I came home."

"So you think you were raped or something?"

"I never said raped. The way I see it, that was three weeks ago, too, so it must have happened then."

"So tell me who the father is!"

"I would if I knew."

"…Huh?"

"I just said I don't remember any of it."

"If you're protecting him-"

"I'm not. What I want to do is find out who it was." Ed replied.

Chapter Six

Ed and Al both agreed that the pregnancy would be a secret best kept to themselves for the time being. Ed could lose his job for this, and then what would he do? He already blamed himself for making Al into what he was, but if he lost the only lead he had to getting him back to normal he didn't know what he'd do with himself. He went to work like thing were normal, but he really felt like a train wreck in the back of his mind. At the end of the day, he went to finish the last of his assigned errands; dropping off a stack of papers at the Colonel's office.

He made his way through the busy halls of Central, and went into Roy's office without bothering to knock. The brunette was sitting at his desk, head down, sleeping on top of a pile of papers. "Morning, freak!" he announced, dropping the new papers beside him.

Groggily, the Colonel raised his head, rubbing his eyes and looking at the blonde. "Ed?" He asked, "Shouldn't you be home right now?"

Ed gave off a faint laugh for some reason, "Yeah, I'm about to leave right now, Mustang. I've just been working slower than usual is all."

"So that's not just me?"

"What?"

"I've noticed your pace has slowed down these past few days, Fullmetal, and you seem even sadder than usual. Is something wrong? It's pretty mandatory to notice these things for the well-being of my subordinates, you know."

"It's…no, Roy, nothing's wrong." Ed replied, and then turned to leave.

"Did you just call me Roy?" said alchemist asked, interrupting the blonde. "Now I know something's wrong. Tell me."

Ed turned around, a short, sarcastic laugh passing his lips. "If I told you, you probably wouldn't believe me anyway."

"I've seen a lot of things, Fullmetal, don't underestimate me. Shoot."

"I'm pregnant." Ed replied. He didn't know why. It just sort of came out, like he hadn't thought it through before he'd said it.

There was a pause, and Roy tilted his head to one side, "You?" he asked, "Pregnant? I'd expect Havoc to get pregnant before you. Are you sure about this?"

"I've been sure since I nearly passed out from morning sickness, Roy."

"You're that far along?"

"I wouldn't say far." Ed replied, "Just forget about it."

"…Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why the hell did you go off and get pregnant!?"

"Hey, lower your voice, genius." Ed replied, "I could lose my job if someone finds out about this. And don't you think I went and asked myself that question a million times these past few days? I feel bad enough as it is; I don't think I need a lecture from you."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Roy asked, doing as Ed told him.

"Because," Ed answered, "It's not your concern." And just like that, he left.

Roy sat at his desk, confused and shocked. How did Ed get pregnant? Ed was as virginal as they come. Slowly, he shook his head. There must be more to his story than he was letting on. The Edward Elric he knew was much more responsible that this. Either way, he was pregnant. He couldn't change that. Roy already knew he'd wind up doing all he could to help the seventeen year old through it.
