Chapter 5

Ed opened his eyes blinking away the blurriness. He sat up and there was a sharp pain all over.

"What the hell?" he asked confused but then the memories of last night came flooding back. "Winry!"

He limped to the door when he saw Mrs. Rockbell.

"Oh Edward you're up. Thank you so much for getting Winry back for us." Her eyes filled with tears.

"Is she okay?" he asked her moving closer to her.

"Yes she is thankfully. I just don't know how safe it is here for her."

"Don't worry she is welcome to come live with my brother and I."

"Are you sure? I don't want to put anyone out."

"We have four bedrooms in the house she is welcome for as long as she wants."

Winry's mom smiled at him "Would you like to visit her?"

"Yes thank you."

They walked to Winry's room and knocked on the door not entering until they heard her say they could.

"I'll let you two be. Winry Hun do you need anything?" Mrs. Rockbell questioned looking at her daughter who shook her head side to side.

She then turned and left a frown on her face. Edward looked at Winry after he closed the door. She was laying on her bed her hair a blonde halo around her head. She was staring at the ceiling both her hands were clutching the fabric of her shirt over top her abdomen.

"Winry…" Ed whispered as he walked towards her slowly so he didn't startle her. He saw that she was still wearing his red jacket around her.

Her head slowly turned to face him as tears ran down her face she went to stand but her legs gave out causing Ed to have to catch her holding her close as she sobbed into his chest.

"Shhh Win, your okay now." He whispered as he picked her up bridal style and sat down on the bed her in his lap.

"But I'm not okay Ed, I…" she trailed off as sobs wracked her body.

Ed just held her awkwardly not really knowing what to do until her sobs quieted and he no longer felt her tears wetting his bare chest.

"They raped me Ed, th-they."

"Shh Winry you don't have to talk about it."

"They got me pregnant." She said it so softly that he had to strain his hearing to hear her and when he registered what she said his arms tightened around his hands fisting in his jacket she was wearing.

"Are you sure?" he asked her gently lifting her face so he could see in her eyes. They no longer held that sparkle they used to they were now a dull blue.

"My mom checked after I got s-sick." Her words seemed to get stuck in her throat.

They sat in silence for a long time Edward rubbing her back as if it was a habit and Winry was just snuggled into his chest.

"You're coming to live with Al and me." He said suddenly causing her to look up at him.

"But why would you want to be around me? I'm dirty." She crinkled her nose at the thought of what happened to her.

"You are the same Winry. What happened to you did not make you dirty you are clean and pure and are now carrying around a miracle. Sure it didn't happen how you wanted but it's still a special thing." He laid his hand on her abdomen as if to tell her how special she was.

"Thank you Edward." She mumbled as she leaned her head on his shoulder and drifted in and out of sleep.

He lifted her up and laid her on the bed and covered her when he went to pull away she grabbed his hand. He wanted to sleep as well he was becoming woozy from moving around a lot, his head already pounding.

"Please Ed, stay with me."

So he did he crawled on the other side of her so her back was to his chest.

*Winry POV*

He called me pure. Even after what I just told him and that made me smile maybe not on the outside mut on the inside I felt good. The feeling I got when Ed held me is hard to explain. He made me feel welcomed and comforted and warm all at the same time. When I told him about me being pregnant I expected him to just leave me there in a ball crying on my own but he held me tighter and told me how special I was.

My heart rate quickened when he had crawled in beside me. I never felt like this before. I felt at ease and I drifted off to sleep easily with his warmth beside me. Even though in the morning I would have to face all this for some reason I was okay with that as long as I had Edward there with me to face it that I believe I would be just fine.
