A/N: Almost forgot to mention Ed is eighteen in this story. It takes place towards the end of the original series. The movie maybe excluded in this timeline.
Riza managed to catch the last non-stop train to Rush Valley at ten o'clock that night. She was exhausted, but she knew she had no choice, Edward had to come home. Roy was an emotional wreck back home in Central. Riza saw the man's eyes red and his checks tear stained almost everyday, though he would never admit it, he was to proud. To make matters even more complicated for her, Havoc seemed to be taking an interest in Roy. He was there almost everyday caring for Roy and his unborn baby. He was trying to be the father that was missing from the picture frame, she knew it would only end in tears for Havoc. Edward and Roy had a special bond, they were both so similar. Both had lost their parents at a young age, both were brash, headstrong, and alchemist's. They understood each other when it seemed no one else could, they needed each other. The train came to halt as it arrived at the station in Rush Valley. She grabbed her bag and walked into the country night. She'd find him, whether he would come willing or not was the only question.
Edward Elric slammed a bottle of beer down on a bar table. He was pissed, to put in lightly. "Fuck." He slurred out as he banged his head on the table. The only good thing that had came out of the day was finding a bar in the inn. It was late and he had just got off the phone with Al back in Risembol. His lead was nothing but a joke, he was no closer to helping Al then when he started. He ordered another drink as he heard the door open. He didn't bother to look over as footsteps seemed to be coming closer.
"Can I have a cup of coffee please? Black." The female voice said to the bartender. Ed recognized the voice and frankly he was surprised to hear it.
"Lt. Hawkeye?" He put his drink down and looked over to the older woman. "What are you doing here?" He looked puzzled, why was the blonde woman in a remote country valley at midnight?
She took a sip of her coffee and turned to look at him. "Edward, the military doesn't take kindly to one of their top investments going AWOL."
"Screw the military! My brother is more important than those bastards!" Ed yelled.
"Well are some leads that may be completely false more important than Roy?" She asked.
Ed snorted in anger. "Oh, I get it. You're here because of Mustang, he can take care of himself. My brother only has me, he's still a child in that armor!"
Riza clenched her hands into fists as she listened to the younger blond. "It's not a matter of if he can take care of himself or not, he loves you."
"I told Roy I would come back as soon as I got some kind of progress on my brother's condition."
"Edward, Roy needs you!"
"Why? He's a grown man, plus he has you to baby-sit him." Edward said.
Riza felt her checks grow read and her brows furrow. She had traveled hundreds of miles to find Edward, she'd be damned before she left without him. He needed to take responsibility for what he had done, she wouldn't let Roy down. "Roy's five months pregnant Edward."
Edward spat out his beer on the table. His eyes grew wide as he felt his jaw drop. "That's not even possible, last I checked Mustang had a dick! If this is some crazy excuse to get me to come home..." He was cut off my a file being thrown in his face. He opened it up, it was Roy Mustang's medical file. Inside he saw pictures of a recent songagram, life was forming in Mustang's stomach. "How, how is this possible?"
"Apparently Roy has a womb from certain alchemic exposures. This is just putting it as simply as I can. Before you can go protesting that it's not yours, it is, I did had a paternity test conducted." She threw another file at his head. "This baby did nothing to deserve not having a father."
Ed ran a hand through his long hair. He laughed bitterly. "I guess Roy was right I am my father." He stood up and put some bills on the counter. "I maybe like my father but that doesn't mean I have to repeat his mistakes. Let's go back to Central."
"Thanks Edward."
"No need to thank me it's my responsibility."
Riza let out a little laugh. "Actually, I was thanking you for paying for my coffee. But, it's nice to see that you have grown into a responsible man."
They smiled at each other and decided to take the last train to Central.
It was early in the morning when Roy Mustang heard his door bell chime through the house. He groaned and cautiously sat up, rubbing his stomach. He put on some of his new maternity clothes and waddled to the door, where he was greeted with an unexpected suprise.
As was Edward as the door open reviling a very pregnant Roy Mustang in woman's maternity clothes. Riza was standing behind him, probably to make sure he didn't flee the scene. "Roy." Was all Edward seemed to be able to spit out.
"Get out." Roy whispered as his contorted in anger.
"Baby..."
"I said get out Ed!" He attempted to slam the door in the blond's face as a foot blocked it from closing.
"Roy, I'm sorry. I want to be here for you and the baby. I've been a selfish idiot."
Riza decided this was her time to interfere. "Roy, no matter your feelings, your child deserves to know it's father."
Roy turned to Riza. "You, don't you even talk. I told you know to go looking for him and you disobeyed me! Both of you get the fuck out!"
"Roy, this anger isn't good for your baby!" She said as he tried to close the door again.
Ed had had enough of the present situation. He forced his way into the house and took a hold of Roy's hand. "Roy, I'm here now I'm not leaving. Calm down, I'm not going to let you hurt our baby!"
Roy smacked his arm away as his eyes started to water. "How do I know you just won't leave me again?"
"Do you trust me."
"No." Roy rubbed his stomach as Havoc came out from the kitchen.
