Once again a day late, but I figured you guys wouldn't mind as it was Christmas yesterday.
Week 7 – December 25th
"You're seriously having a kid?" Darius asked when he was first told of the pregnancy. Darius and Heinkel had become good friends since they helped Edward when he was trying to defeat Kimblee, and they were the two friends he really wanted to tell about Winry's pregnancy before anyone. As luck would have it, Winry and Ed had invited Alphonse, Mei, Darius, Heinkel, Gracia, Elysia, Havoc, Breda, Fuery, and Fallman to Christmas dinner. It was a full house, but worth it.
"Twins, actually," Edward said with a smirk. He was so damn proud that Winry was having twins that he had ordered a shirt to be made for her that said 'Got Twins?' on it, and it was currently sitting in a gift box under the tree. He wanted her to open it when everyone else opened the gifts they got for them.
"Identical or Fraternal?" Heinkel asked.
"Identical," Ed answered. "We're gonna get them matching outfits."
"Try and keep the colors different, though," Havoc piped up. "Seriously, when my sister had her twins, she mixed them up. To this day we'll never know who is truly Ashley and who is truly Lisa."
"Nah, I think Winry will be able to keep up with them," Ed answered. "Besides, I've been thinking about making them ankle bracelets or something for when they're born."
"They'll get them at the hospital when they're born," Breda said.
"Well, Winry and I are gonna do it at home." Edward shrugged at the confused looks from the guys.
"Why would you ever want to be away from morphine?" Havoc asked.
"Well, a lot of mothers choose this for their delivery," Fallman said.
"Oh, Winry, I think it's great that you're having them at home. The hospital whisked Elysia away from me right after she was born; I wish I had been able to spend the time with her," Gracia said.
"You'll have to call me to let me know when you're in labor. This is gonna be great!" Mei chirped.
"Are you entirely okay with her having the babies at home, brother?" Alphonse asked.
"Well, it's not really my choice," Edward answered. "Besides, the doctor said it would be okay, and granny's a great doctor."
"True," Al agreed.
After Ed had managed to get out of the chaos from the many guests, he got Winry alone.
"How are you feeling?" he asked. Winry had been beginning to show, and resorted to wearing maternity pants that were just a bit loose on her. She didn't want to be wearing sweat pants during Christmas when everyone was around. She had also been eating strange items lately, and Edward was worried about her eating something that might hurt the baby.
"I'm fine, Ed," Winry answered. She rolled her eyes; Edward had asked her this a million times over the last week. "Let's just get back to everyone and convince them we're not abandoning them. Then we can open presents."
"Ed, open the one I gave you first," Havoc said. "It's a great present."
"I have a bad feeling about this," Edward said. He opened the box that was decorated in too much sparkles for his taste and stared down in it. "Elysia, shut your eyes."
The eight year old girl did so quickly with Gracia instantly beginning to worry. Ed then pulled it out. The glass dildo for everyone – except little Elysia – to see.
"Is it a great gift or what?" Havoc smirked.
"If I was gay, you asshole." Ed put it back in the box, quickly sealing it and putting it in the opened gift pile.
"Now open the one I got you," Breda said. "It's better than Havoc's."
Edward sighed, opening the gift to reveal ear plugs. "For those nights after the babies are born," Breda said.
"If I'm going to be awake, so is he. Two babies means double the fun," Winry said, causing all the women in the room to laugh.
"Open yours, Winry," Ed said.
"Alright, alright." Winry picked up her box from Edward and proceeded to open it, finding the shirt her husband had ordered her. "Oh my gosh, Ed, this is adorable."
"You like it?" Edward asked.
"Of course I do," Winry said with a smile.
