Chapter 3

Finding Out

Edward, Alphonse, and Winry sat at the kitchen that night. Lily was in bed they thought. But she had felt the tension between them and sat on the stairs with her stuffed kitten listening. Ed finally looked up from staring at his hands.

"You knew," Ed accused Al.

"Yeah," Al stated guiltily. "She was a few months old when I followed you across the gate."

"Yet you never told me that I had a daughter? Why?!" Ed demanded. Lily's blue eyes sparkled, she had a daddy!

"I asked him not to," Winry spoke up. "Please keep your voice down she's sleeping."

"Were you hiding her from me?" Ed growled keeping his voice down.

"No!" Winry argued, struggling to keep her own voice from raising. "I wasn't sure if you made it back. And I didn't want you to feel guilty or that you have to be in her life."

"Win didn't want you to feel like dad brother," Al whispered.

"You don't want me to part of her life? Of your life?" Ed glowered trying to hide the pain and shock.

"Of course I want you to be a part of our lives. But I want it if you truly want it." Winry stated.

"I have a daughter who's what, four now?" Ed asked. Winry nodded. "And you want me to just suddenly pop into the picture?!"

Lily covered her mouth to muffle her gasp, letting go of her kitten causing it to fall onto the floor. He didn't want her! Tears started to flow down her face as she silently hurried across the living room and out the door.

"Bro-," Al stopped short as a slamming door caught all of their attention. The all raced into the living room and Winry bent picking up the forgotten toy cat.

"Lily," Winry whispered.

"She wasn't asleep she was listening," Al stated.

Winry ran towards the door but Ed grabbed her wrist. Slowly he shook his head at Winry's questioning gaze.

"Let me," Ed said. "She ran because of me."

"But," Winry started.

"Please Win," Ed pleaded.

"Alright," Winry hesitantly nodded. She watched Ed race out the door and into the night.
