Summary: Ed's family get's the news of Roy's pregnancy.

It was night, hours after he watched his love speed away with another man. He was in Hawkeye's guest room packing an over night bag. Black Hayate was following him throughout the room, sniffing at all his belongings. That dog always reminded him of Roy, he loved that dog, just like Al's love of kittens. He was interrupted from his thoughts when the bedroom door swung open.

"Ed?" Riza said as she walked into the room. She looked around the room and found an open bag being stuffed full of clothes. "Are you going somewhere Edward?"

He sighed and nodded his head. "I've got to go tell Al the news about Roy. He's got to know he's going to be an uncle, Al always did love little kids."

"What about your miss Rockbell and her grandmother, will they receive the news as well?" Riza said as she petted her little black and white dog.

"Yeah, I couldn't think of anyway around them not knowing." He sighed and rubbed his head. "Problem with Winry and Granny is I don't know what their reaction is going to be. Hell, I don't even know what Al's gonna think."

Riza put hand on the younger blond's shoulder. "It's going to be okay Ed. Their your family they'll love you no matter what." She helped him back the rest of the packing. "Are you leaving soon?"

"The train leaves in a half hour."

The train was pulling up to the little station in the countryside. Ed hadn't felt so nervous since his botched alchemic experiment on his mother. He breathed in a heavy sigh and walked out into his home town. He started the walk to the Rockbell's house, he could already feel sweat on his brow. Why was he so nervous? This was his family! How would his mother react to this...she'd want him to be strong, unlike his father. The main prerogative was not to repeat the sins of his father, well at least not again. He was so tired, emotionally and physically. Well, it's like they say, there is no rest for the wicked. The sun was about to start it's journey into the horizon when he saw the quaint house in the distance.

Winry held her wrench tightly as she worked on a new piece of automail, a beautiful silver arm. In her opinion it was her best work yet, hours of dedication had paid off. She wiped the sweat from her brow and adjusted her pink bandanna when she saw a figure coming towards their house. As it got closer she could see a glint of red, and the figure not being as big as she thought.

"Ed?" She whispered to herself. Then a clear identification was made. "Ed!" She started running up to him and tackled him to the ground, as she wrapped her arms around him.

"Winry! You are crushing my spine!" Ed screamed.

"What is that suppose to mean, are you calling me fat, shrimp!" Winry yelled in his ear as Ed still laying on the grass.

He finally managed to get her off of him. "Who are you calling so small that they can only be seen underneath a microscope!" He yelled at her. "And by the way I did grow, if you hadn't noticed!"

She snorted and started walking towards her house. "Come on Ed, I'm sure Al and granny will be elated to see you!" She saw he hadn't bugged and went back and grabbed his hand. "Come on Ed." When Ed saw her face he couldn't help but notice a blush.

The door swung open and Ed saw his little brother. "Al!" He ran up to the armor suit a hugged it.

"Brother!" Al said as he picked up his older brother and swung him around like a rag doll.

Aunt Pinako and Den came walking up toward's the trio. "Edward, it's nice to see you again. You could have written a letter you know, take a few minutes out your day to be courteous to another human being." The older woman said as she blew a wisp of smoke in his face. "Why the sudden visit?"

"Perhaps we could discuss it over dinner?"

They were in the middle of dinner, he still hadn't told them. He nervously scarfed down his dinner.

"So brother, how are Colonel Mustang and his command?" Al asked.

Damn! He just had to bring up the colonel, well now he had a window. He had to tell them now.

"Well, Mustang is actually pregnant." Ed said nonchalantly as he watched the other guests of the table pause and their eyes widen.

"How...how is that even possible?" Winry asked as she dropped her fork on her plate.

"Well, the colonel's anatomy was altered as a result of a certain exposure to alchemy. That's about as simple as I can explain it."

"Colonel Mustang is interested in me?" Al asked.

"Yep, I guess so. It's always the ones you never suspect huh." Ed said as he laughed nervously.

"Well Ed, whose the father?" Winry said as she leaned over to him.

Fuck, this was it, he had to stop himself from hyperventilating. "Well, you see, the funny thing is that...um...actually I'm the father."

"What!" Winry stood up from her chair. Aunt Pinako and Al looked stunned frozen in their chairs. "You knocked up Roy Mustang! He's a whore and a guy!" She paused to take in a breath from her angry rant. "Last I checked you were interested in women...you were interested in me!" Tears started to stream down her face.

"Winry, I've told you, I've never been interested in you romantically, you're my best friend. I'd like this child to know you as it's aunt."

"Fuck you and fuck off Ed! Get out of here and find a new mechanic!" She yelled as she ran up the stairs.

"Ed, it's probably best if you leave. I'll talk to her, she's young and probably can't even think of you being a father. I'm sure she'll calm down. Now, you get going and do your duty." Aunt Pinako gave him a slight smile and gave him his bag. She followed up the same path her granddaughter took on her way up the stairs.

"Al..."

"I'm going to be an uncle brother? Will Colonel Mustang let me hold the baby." Al said

Ed sighed knowing his current turbulent relationship with his cherry blossom. "I'm sure he will Al."

"Brother, next time use a condom!" Al said as he playfully shoved his older brother. He grabbed Ed's bag. "I'm going with you back to Central brother, I want to be their for the birth."

"Thanks Al."

"Someone has to be their to make sure you don't do anything stupid."

"Hey!" Ed paused and looked over to a stone facing the sky. "I'm going to say hi to mom before we go." Al just nodded his head a gave his brother some alone time.

"Hi mom, I'm going to be a father. I'll follow by your example mom, I'll be their for my child and I'll be good to it's mother. I promise you, I won't let what happen to you happen to Roy and the baby. I promise." He said as a gust of wind swept through his hair.
