Chapter 2

Winry rushed around cleaning the house as Alphonse sat at the table studying. He was determined to help Winry in her automail shop, so he wanted to become a doctor so they could work together like Winry's parents did.

"They will be here any minute." Winry muttered, trying to finish her dusting.

"Relax Winry. It's not like Ed hasn't seen this place dirty before." Al laughed softly.

"I could care less what Edward thinks, its his girlfriend. I don't want her thinking that I am a slob." She said and checked on dinner.

Alphonse walked over and wrapped his arms around Winry's waist and rested his head on her shoulder. "Everything will go perfectly fine. Tomorrow will be the best Thanksgiving we had in a long time. We have our bodies back and we are with the ones we love."

Winry smiled and kissed her fiancé.

Ding! Dong!

Den barked, alerting everyone in the house that someone was at the door.

Winry smoothed down her red dress and fixed her hair before opening the door with a smile. "Hello."

As we walked to the Rockbells' house, I grew nervous. What would Al say?

Roy squeezed my hand. "You worry too much."

I looked up at him. He looked good in uniform and out. Right now he wore tan pants, a black sweater, a tan trench coat, and a blue scarf. I smiled, he was so handsome. "I don't know, It's just…" I hung my head, what if Al got mad?

Roy stopped me and set his bag down. He tilted my chin up and gently kissed me. "Nothing is going to happen. Your brother will be happy that you have someone to finally love. You deserve someone."

I smiled. "Alright. You convinced me."

We walked to the Rockbells' and I rang the doorbell. I could hear barking and smiled at Winry when she answered the door. She gave us a confused look.

"Hello Winry."

"Hey Edward and Colonel Mustang."

Roy smiled. "Good evening Ms. Rockbell."

"What happened to that girlfriend you talked about over the phone?" Winry asked me.

"Well, it's kind of a long story, but can we go inside. It's kind of cold out here."

"Oh, yes. Come in." She stepped aside and let us in.

Alphonse walked over, curious. "Hello Colonel."

"Hello Alphonse." Roy smiled.

"Do we just put our bags in the guest room?" I asked and took Roy's bag.

"Yeah." Al said and led me down the hall, while Roy stayed with Winry.

I walked down the halls with him and entered the guest bedroom. It had a nice queen sized bed and everything. "Thank you Al."

Al closed the door behind him and smirked. "You and the Colonel?" He asked in disbelief.

I set our bags down. "It's General actually. I'm a Colonel." I informed him. "And yes. We have been dating for a while now."

Al crossed his arms. "How long have you been dating?" He asked, questioning me.

"Since the promised day."

"Has he hugged you?"

"Yes."

"Kissed you?"

"Yes."

"Where?"

"Where what?" I asked confused.

"Where has he kissed you?"

"You know, where has he kissed you? Forehead, cheek, lips?"

"D, all of the above." I answered.

"One final question." Al said.

I listened intently.

"Have you two had sex?"

I turned bright red. "No!"

Alphonse laughed. "That blush says differently."

"Maybe once. Isn't that a little personal?" I said, trying to defend myself.

Al shrugged, "maybe it is." He hugged me. "It is good to see you happy with someone; I just never thought it would be the Colonel."

I coughed.

"I mean General, sorry. That is going to take some getting used to."

I smiled. "It's alright. We have gotten very attached to each other; I am actually waiting for him to purpose."

"That's great Ed." I smiled and nodded.

"Dinner is ready!" We heard Winry call us.

####

I looked around the living room, I hadn't been in here since I had come to recruit Edward when he was a young child. I looked at the bulletin board filled with pictures. I looked at a picture of Ed with his pocket watch, he apparently just got. I smiled and looked at pictures of Ed and Al playing with Winry, the three in Halloween costumes, opening presents for Christmas, eating watermelon.

Winry brought out some plates and silverware to set the table.

I walked over and commandeered the job.

She smiled and thanked him as she finished dinner and called for Alphonse and Edward.

Alphonse and Ed walked out talking about how life has been. We all sat down at the table as Winry ran to get Granny.

Granny was having heart problems in her old age; the doctor said that she might not make it another year. Granny walked in and hugged Edward and called him a shrimp as a greeting. He hugged her and said that a shrimp was better than being a small old hag.

I sat next to Edward and held his hand under the table.

We passed the food around and started to eat.

"So, Edward tells me that you two are engaged?" I asked, trying to break the silence.

Winry smiled, "Yep. We also wanted to tell Ed something." She nudged Al to pick up where she left off.

Alphonse blushed.

"What is it Alphonse?" Edward asked with a smirk on his face.

Alphonse blushed darker. "Well you see…" Al paused and Winry urged him to continue. "Ed, you're going to be an uncle."

Edward dropped his fork, stunned. He then ran over to Winry and hugged her. "You're pregnant?"

It was Winry's turn to blush. "Yes, I'm just five weeks along though."

"Oh my God, this is great. I am so happy for you two."

Alphonse smiled.

Edward returned to his seat full of energy and delight.

Roy smiled and congratulated them.

"So, it's your turn to spill some beans Ed." Winry smiled.

"About what?"

"That girlfriend of yours you talked about over the phone. "

Ed blushed. "What about her?"

"How come she couldn't come? What's her name? What's she like? Tell us Ed." She insisted.

"Well… uh… She's tall, has black hair, and dark onyx eyes. She is in the military and is very prestigious. Her name is Roy Mustang and she came with me to Thanksgiving."

I laughed softly.

"Wait, You two are together?" She asked.

I took his hand and laced our fingers together. "Yes."

"How long have you two been seeing each other?" She asked surprised.

"Alphonse can tell you all the details. But we have been together since the promise day. Our first date was on the day that Alphonse left to return to Resembool."

I nodded, remembering.

Winry smiled. "Alright. Then it is time for me to get to know you Roy." She said and turned all her attention on me.

I smiled. "Ask me anything."

####

Winry drilled Roy's brain open, searching for every little thing she could find out about the man dating her fiancé's brother.

As Roy helped Winry wash up. Alphonse stepped out into the living room with Ed.

"I hope we didn't scare the Colonel off. He is really nice Edward."

Edward laughed. "The man has fought homunculus before. I don't think he is going to be frightened off by Winry."

Al shrugged. "It could happen."

Roy walked in and sat on the couch with Ed.

Ed smiled and apology to Al before kissing Roy.

Alphonse got up. "I am going to go get the turkey started, feel free to do whatever." Alphonse walked out.

Edward yawned and stretched.

"The train ride was tiring. Let's go get some rest." Roy suggested.

Ed nodded and walked with Roy to their room.
