Week 30 - May 29th

"SURPRISE!" everyone called down when Winry walked downstairs. It wasn't really a surprise, she had heard the hustle and bustle of everyone getting ready for said party from her bedroom, where she was confined to by her husband for bedrest.

"Oh my god, everyone, this is great," Winry said when she reached the bottom of the stairs, seeing many friends of theirs. It wasn't many people, but Riza Hawkeye had come, Gracia Hughes had brought her little girl, Elysia, with her, Sheska was there, Alphonse's girlfriend Mei had come as well, and even Nelly, who Winry hardly spoke to now that she was married and pregnant. She hardly even spoke to her since they had lost touch when Edward and Alphonse left for Central when they were kids.

"We finally had to throw you a baby shower, and Ed wanted us to throw it here," Gracia said. "You really need more stuff for your babies."

"Speaking of them, please tell us the names!" Mei exclaimed. "Ed only told us that they were boys so that we could throw the shower."

Winry smiled. "Their names are Ethan and Anthony."

"How can you tell which one's which?" Elysia asked.

"Well, Ethan's more aggressive," Winry said. "He kicks harder, and sometimes it feels uncomfortable. Anthony's sweeter, but I can tell there will be nothing but mischief with him and his brother."

"How can you tell?" Sheska asked.

"Because they're just like Ed and Al," Winry answered. She rubbed her stomach lovingly before moving to sit down on the sofa.

"Let's get this thing started," Gracia said. "Should we do gifts?"

"You guys really didn't need to get us anything," Winry said.

"Nonsense, you need the items, and I know what you need as a new mother. Especially of twins," Gracia responded. "Don't worry, I told the rest of them what not to get."

"Oh, please, I have a bit of experience in the child department," Riza said. "Roy has a nephew who I've had to babysit before during his family visits."

"You're the babysitter?" Winry asked. Riza nodded.

They proceeded in opening presents - Winry received several matching outfits and bottles, as well as a breast pump from Gracia.

"I didn't know if you'd need it, but I had one from Elysia and it was great for trips," Gracia had explained.

"Thank you, everyone."
