Oh my gosh. I wasn't gonna write the wedding… but I did it! I decided not to be lazy and I did it! I'm so proud of myself. (Now what was originally Ch. 8 is Ch. 9. Thank you so much to those of you who leave a review every chapter, (You know who you are.) You give me strength. I wouldn't be able to bust out chapters so fast without your kind words of encouragement. Anyways, I am having way too much fun writing the family dynamic. It's adorable and so easy to write fluff.

Chapter 8

Ed stood in front of the mirror, admiring his reflection, "I feel so much better…" He stood sideways… "I'm glad we waited until after Milo was born because I feel so-"

"Confident?" Winry offered.

"Yes," Ed breathed out the word, husky with relief. He smiled.

"You took off the baby weight so quickly… wait who am I kidding, your baby wasn't even six pounds… There wasn't any baby weight…"

"Ugh." Ed sighed stressfully, "There was baby weight… lots and lots of it." He almost shuddered.

"Who cares? The point is, you look very sharp in that suit…"

"Thank you." Ed gushed. He tugged at the bottom of his jacket straightening it out. His suit was a creamy beige. He wore a white button up and a pastel green tie. Pinned to his lapel was a Casablanca lily. Ed was excited to see how Roy looked, since Roy insisted keeping up tradition they hadn't seen each other that morning.

Winry squealed, "I'm so excited for you!" She wrapped her arms around Ed in a bear hug.

Ed laughed, "Thanks." He huffed under her tight hold.

She smiled, "I'm gonna go check on Al and the kids." Winry ducked into the hallway

Ed turned and stared out the window. The trees boasted luscious green leaves. The sky was clear, the sun beat down mercilessly, it was late July. He felt completely at ease for the first time in months. The door opened briefly. Al entered the room holding Milo and shutting the door behind them.

The three month old boy lifted his head to look at his daddy. Ed held out his hands "Milo, baby I'm so happy to see you!" He gurgled excitedly, limbs flailing about. Ed took him out of Al's arms. Milo's hand grabbed at Ed's nose. He bit it playfully eliciting a squeal of laughter from his son. "I love you Milo!" He kissed him on the cheek. "Oh and look, you're such a snazzy dresser." Milo was wearing dress pants and grey dress shirt. Over his shirt he wore a cream colored sweater vest, he had a navy bow tie tied around his neck.

"Brother. I've never seen you so happy."

Ed paused in the middle of peppering kisses all over Milo's face, "huh?"

"A family looks good on you." Al said with a smile

"Thanks." Ed said laughing. Milo gurgled copying the inflection of Ed's voice. Drool dripped down his chin. "You're a slobbering mess, baby." Milo smiled a toothless grin and babbled in a baby language.

"Al… I want to thank you for all you've done for us… you've helped more than you know."

"Brother, no need to thank me. I'm just happy you're happy."

A grin was stuck on Ed's face, He glanced back at Milo, "Have you taken him to see his daddy?"

Milo gurgled and squealed he bounced in his dad's arms at the mention of his daddy.

"Yes… we visited him first, the ceremony's gonna start soon, he's already at the altar… so we made sure to see him"

Ed's heart skipped a beat at the mention of the ceremony, "Not once did I ever imagine I would be here… marrying Roy Mustang…"

"You're already married to him brother…"

"I know… but… it's exciting we're having the whole ceremony…"

Music began to play. "I think that's your queue..."Al said sweetly. Ed handed Milo back to his uncle.

"By the way… thanks for watching him this weekend…" Ed added with a smile.

"Ohh. We love watching after our little nephew." Ed smiled endearingly at his brother. He hugged Al before grabbing the bouquet of lilies and white carnations. With a deep breath he left the room he'd taken shelter in and began his decent down the aisle. Their closest friends and families were there which amounted to a grand total of 27 people. Their eyes didn't bother Ed though, it was Roy's unrelenting gaze that caused him to blush so badly. A smile was spread across his face as he stood waiting at the altar.

As soon as Milo caught sight of his daddy he squirmed excitedly in his Uncle's arms. Roy's gaze broke away from his husband and drifted to his son. His grin grew even wider. He gave a small wave which made Milo squeal happily and hum loudly.

Winry followed behind Al and Milo, holding Trisha's hands helping her to walk. She was 11 months now and could stand on her own but Winry was eager for her to walk on her own.

Before Ed knew it he was standing face to face with Roy, who in Ed's opinion looked too dashing for words. He was wearing a white military uniform, positioned to perfection. All his shiny medals stuck out, boasting of his feats. He had a Casablanca lily pinned to his lapel, matching Ed's. His dark eyes shone brightly at his husband. Winry stood off to the side behind Ed with Trisha and Al stood behind Roy, still holding Milo who was kicking his legs eagerly. He gurgled and drooled while leaning back into his uncle's arms.

The officer marrying them began to read. It felt like forever, the man just droned on making Ed shake with anticipation. Just as it seemed the man was about done reading, Milo finally fed up with his frustration, began to cry. His wail echoed through the small room. Al looked frantic, but Roy just turned and gently took Milo from his arms. Immediately the boy quieted and the officer continued. Milo, now content rested his head on his daddy's shoulder.

"… In sickness and in health…" He rambled on.

Ed replied with, "I do."

"And you…" he was speaking to Roy now, who adjusted his hold on Milo while listening intently, "For as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"I now pronounce you, partners in life."

Before Ed could even react, Roy's arm snaked around his neck and pulled him into a deep kiss. A blush spread across his face, this being the first time they'd displayed their affection publicly. Roy grabbed Ed's hand tightly with his free hand. They smiled at everyone and then Roy turned and led his husband out the backdoor of the small venue. There was a large grassy yard, a wooden dance floor spread out before them. Tables were set up and neatly made. With a white table cloth and small tea candles lighting up the area. Lanterns were hung from the ceiling. It wasn't long before their friends and family started joining them outside.

Ed and Roy both felt a hand placed on their shoulders. They both glanced behind them only to see Oliver, with a huge grin. "Can you believe this?!" He squealed with excitement. "I'm so happy for you guys!"

"Thanks" Ed replied with a smile. Oliver recognized the gurgling and cooing sound, he maneuvered around so he was now face to face with Milo, "and you, little man… I haven't seen you for a month and you're already huge!" Milo lifted his head curiously to see who was talking to him. Oliver held his hands open and Milo leaned towards him a bit. Roy placed a kiss on his son's cheek before placing him in Oliver's arms, "We're gonna go play!" Oliver scurried off with little Milo.

Louis appeared in front of them now. "Congratulations… it was a lovely ceremony." He turned his head searching for Oliver in the crowd of people who had filed outside. "I'm gonna go find Oliver… keep an eye on him and Milo..."

Roy nodded understandingly. He squeezed Ed's hand tightly and led him to their table. They sat and talked for a while, "So, how does it feel to be married?" Roy asked with a smile.

"We've been married for 4 months now…" Ed responded.

"I know… but, the whole ceremony was official…" Roy said enthusiastically

Ed nodded, "Yeah… this is fun, I'm glad we did it…" He admitted.

Roy leaned in and placed another kiss on Ed's lips, "me too."

Once everyone had settled down the band started playing. It was a string quartet, with an added trumpet and clarinet. Ed pulled his hand out of Roy's "It's almost time do dance, I'm gonna go find Milo." He stood up and walked to where he spotted Oliver and Louis. Oliver was sitting on the grass with his legs spread open Louis kneeled down beside them holding Oliver's jacket and talking to Milo who was laying back in Oliver's lap.

"You look good with Milo…" Louis commented, "We need kids of our own…" Oliver only nodded in agreement.

"Hey you guys…" Ed said approaching them, "I came to find my baby." He said playfully. Milo cooed in Oliver's lap. "There he is! Milo!" The baby shook excitedly. Oliver stood up placing Milo in Ed's arms. "Thanks for watching him." Ed said with a smile.

"Our pleasure." Louis said rising to full height and wrapping an arm around Oliver.

"Enjoy yourselves, alright…?" Ed requested, before heading back to his table Oliver wrapped in his arms. He sat down next to Roy.

"Hi baby." Roy said running his hand over Milo's dark hair, ruffling it up. His bangs stuck up in spikes.

Ed swatted his hand away, "Don't mess up his hair…" he smoothed it out again with his fingers. Once he was satisfied with Milo's hair he placed a couple kisses on the top of his head. He smiled at Roy, "it's time for us to go dance…" He tugged on Roy's hand and pulled him up to the now empty dance floor.

They had chosen a happy, sort of ditzy tune to dance to because Milo loved it. Ed held him in his arms and Roy's arm was supporting his neck. Milo was giggling away, kicking his legs in an effort to bounce in his daddy's arms. The song ended and Roy placed a kiss on Milo's cheek, he leaned into Roy, who in turn snatched him from Ed's arms.

Everyone started to clap and coo at the cute little family. As the next song started, people moved to dance floor. Al was dancing with Trisha and Winry beamed at them from a distance. Riza stood on the edge of the dance floor, arms crossed and swaying slightly Hughes danced with Elicia standing on his feet. He held one of her hands. Gracia held the other. Hughes' other arm curled around his wife's back. Oliver was resting his head on Louis' chest. One of his arms wrapped around his waist and Held Louis' hand in his free hand. Louis' other arm was draped over his back holding them closer together.

Ed leaned into Roy wrapping both of his arms around his waist. Roy adjusted his hold on Milo who was now resting his head on his dad's shoulder. He wrapped one arm around Ed's shoulder. They stayed like that for a while before Winry cleared her throat, and outstretched her hands, "May I have this dance with Little Milo?" He cooed in response drool dripping down his chin. Roy handed him to Winry and she scurried off to dance with her small nephew.

Roy wrapped both of his arms around Ed, "I love you" He whispered into Ed's ear.

Ed looked up, resting his chin in the center of Roy's chest. "I love you too." Roy smiled and bobbed his head downward placing a kiss on his lips.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Everyone had told them their goodbyes and words of congratulations. They were spending a few minutes saying bye to Milo. Ed held him in his arms tightly, "We love you Milo. Daddy and I are just going to be gone for a couple of days… You're going to stay with Uncle Al and Auntie Winry…" Milo only gurgled in response. Roy placed a kiss on his forehead, "We're gonna miss you Milo, but we'll see you again in a few days." He only giggled at his daddy and grabbed his nose. Ed and Roy both thanked Al and Winry again profusely before Roy made Ed hand Milo over to Winry.

Roy held open the door and Ed slid into the passenger seat. Roy walked around the other side of the car and got in the driver's seat. They sped off towards the hotel they had made reservations at, "I'm gonna miss him." Ed whined.

Roy reassuringly placed a hand on his leg, "It'll be good for you to get a break…"

"Yeah…" Ed sighed, "He's just… He's my little baby."

"I know…" Roy said, "He's my baby too… but just think, we'll have some time…" He paused, "alone… without any interruptions."

"A night of uninterrupted sleep." Ed said dreamily.

"You're not sleeping tonight…" Roy said lustfully.

"I know…" Ed replied nonchalantly.

"How about we make another baby tonight?" Roy cooed flirtatiously.

Ed snarled, "How about we don't?"

"You only want one child?"

"That's not what I said…" Ed replied calmly.

"Then why not?"

"I can't believe you're actually asking me this… It's a little soon… don't you think? Milo's only just turned three months old."

"Yeah… but he'll be about a year old when the baby's born… You and Al are a little over a year apart."

"Geez you were serious about knocking me up our wedding night…"

"Of course I was… I wouldn't joke about that… I was also serious about want to have as many kids as possible."

"Tch. We're gonna need a bigger house…" Ed muttered.

"Sooo… yes? Can we try?"

"No!" Ed barked.

Roy pouted dramatically, "It's going to happen eventually…" Ed turned his head ignoring Roy. "Look how happy we are with Milo." Ed stayed quiet… Roy sighed, "You don't want me to spill my hot loa-"

Ed blushed profusely, "Okay… Okay!" He shouted, "We'll try once… but then we're using protection…"

Roy smirked at the thought of his victory. "One try is all I need."

"You can't be sure of that." Ed scowled.

Roy only smirked and cocked an eyebrow, "It only took once for Milo."

Ed was silent for the remaining five minutes of the car ride. Roy pulled into the parking lot and grabbed their bag from the trunk. He wrapped his arm protectively around Ed's waist and they walked into the hotel. "Reservation under Mustang…" Roy said

"Ahh yes, the honeymoon suite." The woman said

Ed looked unamused, "The honeymoon suite? Really? We could've used that money to buy new clothes for Milo."

"He has enough clothes…" Roy remarked.

"Babies grow, y'know Roy… He won't fit in them forever… besides that was just an example…"

"Hmm… Well what's done is done… Now how about we just enjoy ourselves…" He said taking the room key from the woman. He gave her a nod of appreciation and led Ed through the lobby and over to the elevator. The man operating the elevator slid the metal gate open. After they stepped inside he followed and closed the gate behind him latching it securely. "What floor?" He asked.

Roy looked down at the key in his hand and stared at the tag, "Uhh, the sixth." He pressed a button and then slowly the elevator lurched and rose upwards.

They stopped at the sixth floor and the elevator wasn't completely level with the floor. "Watch your step." The man said opening the metal gate again.

"Thank you," Ed said politely stepping off Roy followed him off. The metal screeched behind them and then the elevator slowly descended. "What room is it?" Ed asked staring at the multitude of rooms.

"It says room 614." Roy mumbled while walking down the hall examining the room numbers on the doors. "Ah, here it is…" He shoved the key in and then opened the door and walked in. Ed followed after making sure to lock the door behind him.

"This is nice…?" Roy said questioningly waiting for Ed's approval. There were large French doors across the room leading out to a balcony. Wispy white curtains hung on either side of the doors. The wall paper was the color of cream, white swirls curled around the beige making it resemble smoke. A large chandelier hung from the ceiling. The bed was large and made up with white and light blue sheets.

"Yeah… this is nice…" Ed replied in confirmation, "I don't want to know how much it cost… but yeah, this is nice… thank you." He wrapped his arms around Roy's neck and began to kiss at the soft skin below his ear lobe. Then he softly nipped at the skin on his neck leaving marks as he went. A low husky groan escaped Roy's lips.

"It feels like it's been forever…" Roy said as Ed started unbuttoning his uniform.

"Psh. Yeah and you want more kids? Say goodbye to sex altogether…" Roy only chuckled in response, as he was quickly distracted again by Ed who was now kissing his collarbone. His hands slid down Roy's shoulder and ran over his pecks then down his abs. The thin material of Roy's undershirt seemed all too thick now. Ed hooked his thumbs onto the waistband of his pants and Roy's breath hitched in his throat.

"A little sensitive…?" Ed teased.

"Well… with your body back… you're so confident… and it's sexy…"

Roy loosened Ed's tie and slipped it off of his neck. Then he threw his jacket aside and unbuttoned his shirt He yanked it crudely off Ed's shoulders. He scooped him up and laid him down on the bed. He gently ran his fingers over the scar on Ed's stomach. Ed twitched and grabbed Roy's hand, "Don't…" Roy ignored him and placed kisses down the length of the scar. Ed squirmed again, "That tickles." he said laughing.

"It doesn't feel good?" He asked.

"Just tickles…" Ed said giddily twitching and giggling.

Roy unbuckled his pants and then pulled them down his hips taking his boxers down with them... Ed wiggled his hips trying to help, Roy watched mesmerized, "Don't get distracted…" Ed snapped. Pushing his pants and boxers further down his thighs before kicking both articles of clothing off his legs.

Once Ed's pants had been removed he sat on Roy's lap and ran his fingers under the t-shirt he was wearing and pulled it up over his head. Ed kissed his pecks and ground his hips against Roy's growing bulge. Roy's fingers fumbled with his belt frantic to have skin on skin contact. Ed shoved his hands out of the way and nimbly undid the button. "Take your pants off" Ed demanded while crawling off his lap and up the bed.

Eagerly Roy shoved the rest of clothes off and hovered over Ed, "Lay down on your back…" Ed said while straddling his legs. As Roy laid back Ed leaned over and kissed him deeply before tracing his lips over to his neck and placing kisses down his body. Roy's hips bucked and Ed pressed down with his hands, "don't be so eager…" he chided and kissed Roy's abs sensually.

Roy groaned, "Yet, you're such a tease…" Ed's hand slipped downward prodding his sensitive hole. Roy's eyes were locked on Ed and he started to squirm as he stretched himself out. He panted staring at Roy through his heavily lidded eyes. "Let me take you now." Roy pleaded

"No…" Ed managed to say between whimpers. Roy was as hard as a rock watching Ed writhe on his own fingers. Ed pulled his fingers out and lifted his hips hovering over Roy's cock.

"No way… You're gonna ride me?" Roy asked excitedly.

Ed rolled his eyes, "I was going to…" He was crawling off Roy's lap

"No…" Roy objected placing his hands on Ed's hips, and pulling his leg back over so he was straddling him again, "please… continue…"

A blush spread across his face as Ed held onto the base of Roy's dick and positioned himself over it. Slowly he pushed his hips downward. He let out a low groan as he felt the head of Roy's cock enter him. He paused biting his lip.

"You alright?" Roy asked watching Ed's face shift to an expression of discomfort.

He nodded, "Mmhm…"

"Don't force yourself…" Roy ended that sentence with a groan as Ed pushed himself further down on his length. He paused briefly before taking in the rest of Roy's member. He moaned and panted sitting still, taking a minute to recompose himself. His head dropped and he was still except for his shoulders heaving. Roy was being driven mad by the feeling of Ed's hot insides squeezing around him. He lifted his hips ever so slightly.

Ed groaned in response shifting his position. Roy lifted his hips again this time a little bigger of a motion. A series of whimpers escaped Ed, "S-stop… Let me… do… do it." He took a deep breath before he rocked his hips back and forth starting out slowly. He lifted himself up slightly and then dropped himself down on Roy's throbbing cock. He moaned quietly with each impact.

Roy's grip tightened on his hips as Ed started to move more and faster, "Let me hear you…" Roy panted. Ed threw his head back, moaning. Roy couldn't help himself anymore. He sat up and wrapped his arms around Ed's torso. He started to suck and kiss his neck, shoulders, and chest. Ed's moans began to string together, getting longer and louder. Roy started to move with him, thrusting up into Ed, who in turn tightened around him squeezing his cock. He whimpered placing his head in the crook of Roy's neck. Roy only thrusted a few more times before they came together.

Roy panted holding Ed close. Ed didn't move. His head still rested on Roy's shoulder. Slowly he lifted his head and kissed him deeply. He rose gently off of Roy and laid down next to him. Roy pulled him close, "Thank you…" He kissed Ed on the cheek, "That was fantastic, you were so sexy."

"Mmhmm" Ed mumbled into the pillows.

"Are you ready to go again?" Roy asked

"No…" Ed responded.

Roy smirked and kissed his temple, "I hope that did it… I hope you're gonna have my baby…"

"I already had your baby…" Ed grumbled

"I'm greedy, I want more…" Roy said lustfully.

"Mmmnnn…" He paused for a minute, "grab the condoms…" Ed grumbled.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ed opened the front door, "Welcome home…" Winry called over a screaming baby. He dropped the bag he was holding and took Milo in his arms.

"Shh… baby." Ed supported his neck and held him close. "Milo, baby… Shh." He kept screaming his face was bright red, his breaths were short, his fists were balled, and he was shaking. "Oh my goodness. What happened?"

Al stammered, "I don't know… We don't-…. he woke up like that!"

Roy stood behind Ed resting his chin on his shoulder, "Milo…" He cooed gently. "Miiiillloooo" he cooed again He quieted down a bit. Roy kept calling his name, as he did Milo's crying got softer and softer until he was finally able to take deeper breaths. He stared at his daddies, his golden orbs blinking slowly, he smiled and reached his hand up Ed kissed it making Milo giggle as his eyes closed and his breathing evened.

Ed kissed him on the forehead before looking up at Roy, "Well aren't you just the baby whisperer…" He teased. Roy smiled and wrapped his arms around his waist holding him tightly and staring at their son. Ed cringed and cleared his throat.

"I'll go put him down…" Roy said taking Milo in his arms and disappearing into the nursery.

"I'm sorry about that… sometimes… he just goes on tangents like that for no reason…" Ed said sitting down on the couch. He relaxed, his hips had been killing him he was incredibly sore and uncomfortable.

"How was the honeymoon?" Winry asked teasingly. She jabbed him in the side with her elbow.

He blushed and sighed, falling back onto the couch. "I'm not moving for a few days…" He groaned

"Brother!" Al yelled embarrassed.

"It was that good!?" Winry asked.

"Winry!" Al shouted, even more embarrassed.

"You sound surprised…" Ed replied casually.

"Ed!" Al exclaimed his face completely red.

She held her hands up in surrender, "Sorry Al."

Ed chuckled, "Yeah, sorry."

A loud wail broke the quiet. Milo was screaming again. Ed pushed himself up off the couch with groan of pain. He walked to the nursery, "Everything alright?"

Roy looked up frantically, "he woke up when I put him down…" Milo was screaming again.

Ed took him out of Roy's arms and he quieted almost immediately.

"He wanted his mommy." Roy said grabbing Ed's hips and placing a kiss on his temple.

Ed's knee buckled, "Don't touch my hips…" He said through gritted teeth.

Roy let go immediately, "I'm sorry…"

Ed looked down at Milo who watched him with sleepy eyes. "What's wrong baby… just not feeling very good?" Milo gurgled sleepily. Ed sat down in the rocking chair and gently rocked back and forth watching as Milo nodded off again. He put his feet up on the foot rest.

"You gonna be alright?" Roy whispered Ed only nodded in response. Roy left him to put Milo down. He walked into the living room.

"Everything alright?" Al asked.

"Huh? Yeah, I think he just wanted Ed…"

"So…" Winry said lacing her fingers almost menacingly, "How was the break?"

"What?" Roy asked stupidly and caught off guard.

"Ed seemed pretty tired…" Winry commented raising an eyebrow.

"Winry! Don't tease, just let him be…" Al scolded.

"Must've knocked him around pretty good, huh? Maybe expecting another little one in nine months?" She asked ignoring Al.

Roy was at a loss for words, "Uhh… yeah… wait what?" He stood up, "I'm gonna… check on Ed and Milo." He rushed to the nursery only to find Ed fast asleep still rocking slightly holding Milo against his chest. He smiled and grabbed a large knit blanket. He placed it over Ed who opened his eyes sleepily and smiled before closing his eyes again. Roy kissed him on the forehead and turned to leave realizing now there was no escape from Winry. He walked back to the couch and plopped down.

"I'm sorry Winry, what were you saying?"

"I was just wondering when we could expect another niece or nephew…?"

"Well… Ed want's to wait… but I'm ready now… of course it doesn't matter when I'm ready, I don't have to grow a child inside me for nine months… it all depends on Ed." He was quiet, "Well what about you?" Roy asked turning the question back around on her.

"On no, we're going to wait a year or so before having another." She said with a laugh. "I only ask because, I know Ed wants a big family."

"Ed wants a big family?" Roy sounded astonished.

"…Haven't you guys talked about this?" Al asked

"Well… He knows I want a lot of kids, but… I don't know his words suggest otherwise…"

"Pff. Well, yeah that's a no brainer… pregnancy sucks… and Ed had it bad… his next pregnancy may be different… but you can't predict that."

Roy nodded, "I mean… I'm not gonna push it." Roy bit his lip suddenly feeling guilty, unsure of whether or not he'd forced Ed into anything. Roy hung around talking with Al and Winry, he played with Trisha, all the while Ed and Milo slept.

Ed woke up a few hours later (around 2:20), and reemerged from the nursery. "Roy… you're on feeding duty…" He said placing a cheery Milo in his lap. Ed fumbled in the kitchen to get a bottle of formula.

"My baby is awake!" Roy said playfully. Milo laughed and gurgled at the same time, drooling everywhere. "Hey Ed? Can you get me a towel too…? He's a bit… drooly."

"Yeah." he called from the kitchen. A few minutes later he came back carrying a bottle and a towel. Roy cradled Milo and held the bottle for him. Ed groaned sitting down in Roy's big chair by the fireplace.

"Brother…" Al began, "Winry, Trisha and I have to catch a train soon."

"You're leaving already?" He asked

"We've been here a week Ed." Al said

"We have a dog, a house, and business to get back too." Winry added.

"Your visits always seem so short…"

"Then move to Resembool…" Al said

"We can't… our jobs are here…" He pointed out.

"Then stop complaining, we visit you enough…"

Ed pouted. "When do you leave? We'll drive you…"

"That's okay…" Al waved him off.

"What do you mean? We insist…"

"Well… we have a ride." Al said sheepishly.

"Who?" Ed asked curiously.

"Hughes…" Winry responded.

"Why?" Ed asked sounding a bit guarded

"Well… we know how much effort it is to go out with a small baby… and since you guys got back today we figured you'd be tired." Al said justifying their actions.

Ed huffed with irritation, "Do you need help packing?"

"We packed this morning…" Winry replied

"Well… When will Hughes be here?"

"The train leaves at three so he should be here any minute."

Ed huffed again this time with irritation. Roy lifted Milo onto his shoulder and patted his back, burping him, "Hey… Ed, calm down… don't be upset over something so trivial. They did it to convenience us… they're right there's not enough room in the car for two car seats and four adults…"

Ed took a deep breath and exhaled… he relaxed a bit realizing Roy was right. With a sigh he stood up out of the chair grabbing the empty bottle off the coffee table. He cleaned it out in the sink. As he was walking back into the living room he saw Little Milo staring at him over his daddy's shoulder. He smiled toothlessly and gurgled excitedly he blew spit bubbles. Roy supported his knees, helping Milo to stand while leaning against his daddy for support. There was a honk.

Hughes must've been here, Ed hugged Winry and Al goodbye and kissed Trisha on the forehead. Roy stood up saying his goodbyes. Winry kissed Milo goodbye and hugged Roy. Al carried their bag out to the car, Ed, Roy and Milo stood watching from the doorway. They waved goodbye one last time as they left with Hughes to the train station.

Ed grabbed Milo from Roy's arms, "I'm gonna go take a bath with him… It might help ease the pain…"

Roy cringed, feeling the wave of guilt hit him once again. He was lost in thought and eventually decided to follow his husband and son into the bathroom. Ed sat in the warm water holding Milo close. He splashed and kicked in the water flinching every time a drop landed on his face. Roy put the toilet lid down and sat.

"What's bothering you?" Ed asked staring at Roy. "You look guilty of something."

A look of unease crossed his features. Ed hit the nail on the head.

"I just… I'm sorry…"

"For what?" Ed asked, bemused. His hands hooked under Milo's arms as the little boy continued to splash.

"I don't want you to feel like we have to have another baby soon… whenever you're ready, I'll be ready…"

"Pfft." Ed started chuckling, "Believe me, if I didn't want another baby, we wouldn't have tried. You feel guilty about that?" Milo continued to babble and splash. He giggled happily.

"Well… Winry reminded me how hard the pregnancy was on you… and then it made me realize how selfish I was being… and I just wanted to make sure you weren't mad… you seemed kind of mad today…"

"Only because I was fucked senseless for two days straight." He snarled. "Roy if I didn't want you to do something, I wouldn't let you do it… simple as that… alright?" He bobbed his head in understanding. "Now, are you going to join us in the bath?" Ed asked with a huge smile.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

So I was kind of iffy on the names, whether Milo and future babies should call Ed 'mommy' or call Roy 'papa'. I didn't want them both to be daddy (too confusing to write). I decided I really didn't like the idea of Roy being called papa (it just doesn't sound right to me.) and like I said I wasn't sure about Ed being called 'mom' but I liked that better than papa… Okay, got that off my chest, just wanted you to know the names are a work in progress.

Is Ed going to be expecting?

Are Oliver and Louis going to have a baby?

Hope to see you next chapter, lovelies!
