Chapter 5

A suit of armor and a blonde, pregnant wrench swinging mechanic walking side by side in the drizzling rain, would have been a strange sight for anyone, even in Risembool the armor and mechanic's home town, none the less if anyone looked out their window that's what they would have seen. Al looked over at his childhood friend and sister-in-law, who had stopped looking back in the direction of her husband's scream. "Come on Winry, you heard the Colonel." He was as worried as she was, Ed was the only family he had left he couldn't lose him.

"But…. Ed… he needs us…"

Al gently grabbed her arm, struggling to keep his voice calm, "Brother is tougher than he looks." Brother you had better come back, if you don't I'll never forgive you.

She chuckled softly, "You're right, and he also has my, amazing auto mail."

Al laughed as well, "Yeah he does, he relies on that auto mail a lot, but he appreciates you for more than that, more than you even know." She smiled warmly at that, she knew he did but it was nice to be reminded of it, as Al gently pulled her along, back to the house.

A/N: Shortest chapter yet, lol, but we needed something to soften the tension from the last scene and see what Al and Winry are doing. Up next Envy vs. Roy, Riza, and Ed. Review pretty please.
