Alright, I just got my license, so I'm trying to drive more and more and more. Though, I will always make time for my fanfiction :)
When Roy started to laugh, Ed lunged.
"Alright, calm down, Chief." Havoc said as he tied Ella up.
"That bastard doesn't care about anyone but himself!" she shouted out. She continued to struggle against her new bounds. When Ella lunged at Roy, Riza and Havoc interrupted the..heated discussion. Of course, this ended up with Havoc tying Ella up.
"He cares, Ed. You just gotta give him a chance." Havoc tried to say.
"No! He doesn't care at all! He doesn't care if an innocent being is killed!" Ella shouted out.
"What are you talking about?" Havoc asked.
"You should just ask him. He used a sixteen year old girl! Just because he was a horny bastard!" at this point, Havoc was trying to lead Ella out of the room. She was starting to get hostile as Roy stood in front of her.
The only reason that he was, was because Ella couldn't get him, for her hands were tied. Riza stood by Roy as Ella continued to shout profanities out at the man.
"You slept with a teenager?" Riza asked him. Her eyes had widened, she couldn't believe that the man she respected could do such a thing. She was just a kid.
"Edward, I could court marshal you for attacking an officer." Roy ignored Riza's question.
"Go ahead! I don't want to be a dog of the military anymore!" Ella was finally lead out by Havoc.
"What are you thinking, Chief? If you're court marshaled, you'll never be able to come back here." Havoc told her.
"I don't even care anymore, Havoc. I don't want to work with someone who doesn't even care about his own child." Ella finally got Havoc to untie her and went to Hughes` office.
"Did you tell him?" Hughes asked her.
"No..but I did ask what he would do if the girl he slept with got..you know.." Ella said very quietly.
"And?"
"He said he would ask her to give the baby up for adoption." Ella said, tears welling in her eyes. She blinked them back, not wanting to cry in front of Hughes. In front of everyone in the investigations office.
"Alright, alright. This is what we're going to do. I just got a phone call, Roy asked for..court marshal papers, telling me what you did. So, I'm taking you up there to ask him not to do that. You're going to need whatever money you can get. Then, we can eat lunch before you go to your appointment." Hughes said. His voice was in a hushed tone so no one else could overhear.
Ella nodded and walked with him back to Roy's office.
"What do you want, Fullmetal?" Roy asked in a bored tone. This already started to get Ella's blood boiling.
"Please, don't give me a court marshal." Ella said. Please was said right through her teeth. She could hardly keep herself from growing stiff.
"Of course, anything for a prodigy." Mustang smirked. As if he was just bluffing when he threatened her with the court marshal. Breda then brought a cart of muffins over.
"How about some food to celebrate? It's about lunch time anyway." Breda said. Everyone got muffins, but when it came to Ella's turn to pick one..
"What's the matter Fullmetal?" Roy asked.
Ella covered her nose and mouth. "I..I gotta.." she ran towards Roy's private restroom. She didn't even shut the door when she leaned over the toilet to retch her guts out.
"What's wrong, Fullmetal?" Roy asked, more seriously now. He stood from his desk chair to walk over to the blonde. Though, Hughes was already there, holding Ella's hair while she puked.
"It's nothing," Ed said before she began to retch once more. Everyone in the room was concerned about her, not knowing if she was alright or not. Was she sick, was it bad? Was it just a case of the stomach flu?
"He hasn't been feeling too well. I was taking him to the doctor after lunch, but I guess he's skipping," Hughes explained to Roy.
"Is it contagious, do you have any idea of what it may be?" Roy asked.
"And why do you care?" Ed spat.
"If it's an allergic reaction or some sort of disease, I may need it for your file, short stack." Roy glared at the kid.
"You're an ass," was all she replied.
"No, I think it may just be the stomach flu. We'll get going now before there are anymore fights." Hughes said, and with that he led Ella to the car. Ella sat in the front seat, and Hughes began to drive.
"Ed, have you figured out what your plan is, yet?" Hughes asked the girl. He didn't want her to decide at the last minute, then regret the decision later.
"I'm going back to Rezembool. I'll hide out there until I figure out what I'm going to do. If I decide to keep the baby, I'll be staying there permanently-with the exception of coming back for monthly assessments." Ella explained to the man who seemed to be acting as if he were her guardian.
"When are you leaving? You need to have a doctor set up there to help you," Hughes said.
"I was planning on leaving when I started to show, so there would be as little time for leave as possible. Though, now that everyone knows that I could possibly be sick, I'll have to leave sooner. I could use this as an excuse, maybe some sort of an unknown illness. Like my Mother," Ella told Maes.
"Alright, I'll help you with getting a doctor and your bags packed, as well as setting up your leave to where no one can figure out what's really going on. I'm not in the investigation department for nothing," Hughes chuckled.
"I don't need a doctor in Rezembool, I have Winry and Granny to help me. Everything will be fine, trust me." Ella said. Hughes nodded in acknowledgment.
"You're ten weeks pregnant, so there are some symptoms I want to prepare you for. You may become constipated and you could become sluggish. You should be drinking lots of water, and exercising regularly. You could have headaches as well. As for your baby, he or she is developing legs and little arms that have elbows and can bend. There are small buds of baby teeth forming under the gum line and his kidneys are activating, which could produce digestive juices and urine. If it's a boy, his testicles will begin to make testosterone." the doctor explained to the girl.
Ella sat on the half-bed in a small paper gown. Hughes stood near her, though wasn't right next to her. He was completely calm, whilst the sixteen-year old girl was pale and seemed to be having a mini-heart attack.
"It's safe to travel, right?" Ella asked the doctor.
"I would say so. Since this is your first pregnancy, you should be safe. There is only a twenty-percent chance that all pregnancies would end in miscarriage, but it increases to thirty-percent if you've had two or three miscarriages in a row. Though, if you do miscarry, it will be stressful on your body if you're away from home." the doctor explained.
"That shouldn't be a problem since I'm going home. Besides, even if I have a miscarriage, maybe this problem will all go away," Ella said, looking down at her lap.
"Don't talk like that, Edward. Now, would you like to see your baby and hear the heartbeat?" Dr. Luce asked Ella. The girl's eyes that were the color of the sun widened.
"I could see and hear the heartbeat?" she asked.
"I'm gonna call Al," Hughes said, stepping out of the room. He got on the phone and called Alphonse.
"Hello?" the boy's voice rang through the phone.
"Al, has anyone called you in the last two days?" Hughes asked the teen.
"Well, brother let me know he was going to see you and I assumed that he was staying with you when he didn't come home," Alphonse admitted.
"Alphonse, your sister is at the OBGYN. She needs you right now," Hughes said before he started to explain.
"Is this 'Al' person the Father?" the doctor made conversation as he laid Ella down on the half-bed.
"No, Al's my little brother. He's fifteen," Ella said. "the Father isn't in position to be here right now."
"Does he know?" this made Ella pause for a moment.
"..No, he doesn't know. I'm not telling him," she told the doctor.
"Why would you? I think he deserves to know he's going to be a Father." Dr. Luce told Ella.
"He can't know. If he did, I don't know what he would do to me. He doesn't even remember that we slept together, so I'm not going to tell him. I'll do what I want to do, I don't think he deserves a choice in the matter. I don't want him apart of the baby's life at all," was all Ella got in before the door slammed open.
There was the younger brother. His light-chestnut hair was messy and his gray eyes were widened. He looked as though he had rushed over, and seemed stressed.
"Sister! I can't believe that this happened!" Alphonse scolded. It was an amusing sight for Maes to see. The fifteen-year old boy scolding his sixteen-year old sister.
"Al, do you wanna see the baby?" Ella asked, not paying attention to the scolding she had gotten. This made Alphonse calm down-whether it was confusion or curiosity, no one would be sure.
The doctor began to squirt some gel on Ella's belly after her paper gown was lifted. She was glad to be wearing some blue hospital pants. The doctor began to scan her stomach with an object and the monitor showed black. There was white all around, and a large black oval in the white area. In the black oval was in what seemed as though it was a peanut. A small heartbeat filled the room.
"My assumption was correct, you're ten weeks, and the baby is thriving perfectly. It's amazing considering your circumstances." the doctor said. Ella's eyes had filled with tears, and Alphonse's hand had wrapped around Ella's. The two were having a bonding moment. Mother, Uncle, child. The two siblings couldn't even think of the child as anything other than what it was.
Perfect.
Please review on how well the revised version is.
