She sat in her office signing her paperwork. Kyra sat next to her desk playing with toys, while Meas sat in his father's chair, twirling it around. Speaking of their father, she looked up at the clock. He'd left more than a half hour ago. She looked back down at her work. A few minutes late she got up to go get more tea when there was a large explosion, nearly knocking her to her feet. Maes woke up from his day dreaming and looking at his mother, Kyra had her hands over her ears. The lights started flickering and then went out, the only light in the room coming from the window.

Riza grabbed both her kids and looked around. Havoc ran in coughing, he bent over, and hands on his knees trying to catch his breath.

"What's going on?" Riza stood up and walked over to him.

He coughed again and then looked up at her. "Smoke. Lots of it. Coming from the southern hall."

She looked at him questionably, and then it clicked. The Furher's office was in the Southern hall and Roy was there. "Jean! Watch Kyra and Meas!"

She ran out of the office and down towards the Furher's office. By the time she got there, guards were all through the office. There was a bunch surrounding Grumman, who was coughing from smoke inhalation. Another group of guards had Roy pinned, his face being pressed into the ground. His dark eyes looked up into her eyes.

"I'm sorry." She saw the words form on his lips.

They ripped his gloves off of his hands and wrapped the cool metal of the cuffs around his wrists. One guard grabbed the back of his shirt and lifted him up. "Let's go." They shoved him out of the room, his head hung low. She looked around the room again and saw Falman. When he saw her, he walked up to her.

"He basically committed suicide. The penalty for this is death." He looked at Riza.

"Why? He wouldn't do anything like this."

Falman sighed. "I don't think he did it on purpose because when they came in to get him, he was making sure Grumman was okay."

Riza closed her eyes. "This has to be a dream. A nightmare."

"I'm sorry, but it's not. I think the best thing for you, is to go back to your kids and go home." Falman rested his hand on her shoulder. She looked at her grandfather and sighed, knowing Falman was right.

""Is there any chance he can get out of this?"

He sighed. "You know as well as I what the answer is. Go home. I'll call you with any news. Oh and," his hands moved into his pocket. He pulled out a pair of white gloves. "He wanted me to give these to you." He placed them in her hands. Then he turned around and went back to help evaluate the scene. She stood there and looked at the gloves and sighed, her hand wrapping around them tightly. She turned around and started to walk back to her office. 'What am I going to say to them? What am I going to do?' She closed her eyes, trying to stop the tears that wanted to leak from her eyes. 'Why would he do this? To Maes, to Kyra, to me….' She stopped in front of her office doors and sighed. "I have to tell them. Now or never." She opened the door and looked at Havoc. His eyes widened when he saw a tear leak out of her eye. She quickly wiped it away and kneeled in front of her children.

Meas looked up at her. "What happened Mommy?"

Kyra grabbed her brother's shirt sleeve and nodded. "Yeah. What was that loud noise?"

Meas looked around. "And where's daddy?"

Riza looked at her children and sighed. The tears started to flow out of her eyes. "We're not going to see daddy anymore."

Maes' eyes widened. "Did daddy die?" Kyra's hazel eyes widened and she looked up at her brother.

Riza shook her head. "No. He hasn't died yet."

The boy looked at his mother, understanding in his eyes. He hugged Kyra as tears started to fall out of her eyes.

Riza hugged her two children. "Let's go home."

~FMA~

"Guilty!"

Roy cringed at the word. He never thought he'd be here in front of the court, but it was for the sake of his family. He moved his hand to scratch his scruffy chin. He'd been locked inside a damn cell for about a month and they just bring him out into the light to scream guilty in his face. He sighed, 'A month. And I wasn't allowed any visitors.'

He looked around the room, seeing a couple of his friends but then his eyes rested on hers. His dark eyes softened as he saw tears running silently down her face. Then he saw Kyra and Maes. Kyra was softly crying. Meas watched, his cheeks wet from previous tears. When he heard a loud bang, he looked at Grumman and sighed. 'It was for their sake. I must do everything in my power to protect them.'

"Roy Mustang. You are being sentenced to death. You will be ship on the next train to the east to be executed. Do you have any last words or requests?"

"I have one. I would like to say a final goodbye to my family." He looked up at Grumman.

Grumman nodded. "If that's it, fine. Guards will escort you and your family to a private room. You'll have ten minutes."

Guards grabbed Roy and dragged him to the back. The shoved him into a room and closed the door. Shortly after he was put in there, his family walked in. Kyra and Meas both jumped into their father's lap. He chuckled and hugged both of them tightly. "I'll miss you two. Remember I love you guys."

Kyra and Meas nodded.

"I don't want you to go daddy."

He looked at his daughter and sighed. "I have to. I did something bad so I have to be punished for it." He hugged both of his children tightly. "Now Kyra. I want you to be strong and help you mommy out. Will you do that?" She nodded. Roy looked at his son. "I want you to protect both your mother and your sister. You'll be the man of the house so it's your job to keep them safe." Meas nodded.

"I promise I'll keep them safe." He hugged his father.

Roy hugged them tightly and then looked up at Riza. "I'm sorry. It was never meant to be this way. I love you."

Riza looked at her feet. "It's going to be hard raising the three of them."

"You'll manage, I know you wi- Three?" He looked at her, onyx eyes wide.

She nodded. "I found out a couple days ago that I'm pregnant."

His hand moved and rest on her stomach. "I'm sorry. I love you so much."

"I love you too." She moved and kissed him. "But why did you do this?"

"I-" He was cut off by the guard who came in.

"All right! Time's up!" He grabbed Roy and dragged him out of the room.

"I love you all! Don't forget!" He yelled before he was out of sight.

They stood and watched as he was sentenced. They stood and watched as he was boarded on the train. They watched as the man they all loved, die.
