Like Damn, sometimes I swear you guys are telepathic. You guess the event right before it happens. No matter though, the story must go on! (I hope the story is not predictable, let me know if it is…) Seriously though do you guys listen in on my thoughts… sometimes it feels that way… I had fun with this chapter, so hopefully you enjoy reading it!
I am proud to announce this is now the longest chapter, (weighing in at almost 7,000 words!)
To answer a question from one of my lovely readers, I don't have any kids myself, but I've practically raised my younger sister. (My inspiration for Milo came from her)

Chapter 17
"…I think I should go see the doctor" Ed said, lifting up his shirt.
"Why?" Roy asked, staring at Ed's reflection in the mirror from where he laid in bed, reading.
"I'm hardly showing…"
"You're showing plenty to me… and keep in mind you're only three months along…" Roy replied putting down his book.
"Compared to last time… I mean."
"You were carrying two babies last time…"
"Mmm… still…" Ed said glancing at Roy in the mirror.
"Come here…" Roy beckoned him over with a finger.
Ed dropped his shirt and wandered closer to Roy. He laid down and spread out across the bottom of the bed.
"Not close enough…" Roy said playfully.
Ed crawled up the bed towards him, he straddled Roy's legs, sitting up on his knees. The colonel wrapped his arms around Ed's lower back, hooking his hands together. Ed leaned back, testing his weight against his husband's arms.
"You feel heavier…" Roy said.
Ed sat down more, relaxing. He was sitting on Roy's thighs, knees bent, and his legs behind him.
Roy's hands slid up his sides gently. He moved his hand across Ed's abdomen and down over his stomach.
Ed tensed up. His hand shot out quickly and he grabbed hold of Roy's wrist pulling his hand off his belly.
Roy sighed in defeat, "What's with you?"
"What?" Ed asked innocently.
"You won't let me touch your bump… every time I have you get all antsy."
"I'm sorry…" Ed said. He let go of Roy's wrist.
"Can I?" Roy asked.
"Mmmm…." Ed hummed thoughtfully, "I-I suppose…"
Roy's hands moved to Ed's hips as he gently brought Ed back to his knees. He expected to feel the twinge in his stomach he had so recently become accustomed to. Ed squeezed his eyes shut tight. Roy leaned in and placed a kiss on the center of his belly. Ed held onto either side of Roy's head.
Instead of feeling a knot in the pit of stomach, he felt butterflies. His eyes closed as he relaxed into the tingling sensation. Before when Roy would touch him he felt nervous and anxious, but this time he was at ease.
After a few seconds of silence Roy pulled away, sitting up. Ed's eyes fluttered open, Roy was already gazing at him thoughtfully.
"Better this time?" He asked.
Ed blushed, "Yeah… better…"
Roy placed his hand on Ed's stomach rubbing gently. Ed felt completely relaxed, no nerves, or feeling of anxiety. He felt like everything was going to be okay. He teared up a little bit.
Roy looked at him. "Why are you crying Ed?" He pulled his hand off Ed's belly, nervously, in case he was the reason his husband was in hysterics.
Tears rolled down Ed's cheeks. He felt all the worry and unease return as Roy released him. He wrapped his arms around Roy's head in a hug, pressing his head to his belly.
Roy started to pepper kisses over his little baby bump. His hands held firmly to Ed's hips.
Ed gently stroked his hair and played with his ears. He rested his head on top of Roy's, his eyes closed.
Roy slid his hands underneath Ed's shirt. He pushed it up higher and higher, revealing more of Ed's body.
"Lift your arms…" Roy mumbled into his stomach. Ed complied and did as he was told. Roy slid the thin material of his shirt up and over his head. Ed pulled his arms through.
Roy tossed it aside and placed kisses up and down the center of his chest and stomach. He gazed up at Ed, resting his chin on his chest, gently rubbing his belly.
"Do you still think you need to go to the doctors…? I can take you tomorrow…"
Ed shook his head, "I'm fine now…" he let out a deep breath, "I'm not worried about the baby anymore…"
"Mmm… glad you feel better…" Roy said kissing him. His hands slipped around Ed's waist and tugged at the waistband of his shorts.
Ed blushed, "Stop it." He pulled Roy's fingers out of his waistband. He placed his hands on either side of Roy's face.
Roy lifted his head to peer at his pregnant husband through lustful eyes. Ed leaned down and placed a kiss firmly on his lips. "I love you…"
"Mm… then make love to me…" he mumbled.
"Well don't you think you're a smooth talker?" Ed teased.
Roy chuckled and rested his forehead on Ed's chest. "I love you too…"
He gently licked Ed's sensitive nipples.
Ed whimpered in response, he tried to speak but only fractions of words came out. "-oy… s…op it…"
"So sensitive… are you sure you want me to stop?" Roy asked teasing.
Ed blushed, he didn't say anything. He only stared at Roy through golden eyes glazed with desire.
"You have to speak up and tell me what it is you want…"
"I want yo-" Ed fell silent as a cry echoed through the house.
Roy sighed, leaning back into the pillows, rubbing his face.
Ed crawled off his lap and tried to compose himself.
"One of these day, they're gonna sleep through the night…" Roy said. He pulled the covers off his legs and went to the nursery.
Ed laid back into the bed with a huff. He heard the nursery door open.
"ED!" Roy yelled.
Ed rolled off the bed quickly and ran to the nursery. Roy was rocking a crying Louisa in his arms. Ollie slept soundly in the crib.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Ed asked frantically, standing in the doorway of the nursery.
"I'm taking Louisa to the hospital…"
"What?! Why!?" Ed asked tearfully.
"She's running a high fever… you need to stay here with Oliver and Milo…"
Tears dripped down Ed's face, "What? No… I want to go… I need to go…"
Roy slid past him through the doorway, he headed downstairs hurriedly.
Ed chased after him, "Roy… wait." He said crying, "We can call Hughes… he can come and watch the kids…I-I need to go… I have to go with you!"
"Ed we can't waste time waiting around…" Lulu fussed in his arms. Roy adjusted his hold on her, "She's going to be fine… I promise…"
Ed stared at his daughter, her cheeks were rosy and her forehead was covered in sweat. Her dark hair clung to her face. Ed whimpered, "My baby…"
Roy leaned down and placed a kiss on his lips. "I'll call you as soon as I get word from the doctors…" without another word, Roy grabbed his keys and hurried to the car.
Ed watched as he quickly buckled in Lulu and then went around the other side and got in the front seat. He stood in the doorway crying, he continued to stand unmoving, even after the car had disappeared into the night.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ed sat at the kitchen table. He wrapped his sweater around his torso tightly. He sniffled and pulled his sleeve over his hand, wiping his face. He was worried sick, literally. A cup of tea made from Oliver's herbs sat in front of him.
Roy had left with Louisa nearly an hour ago, and he still hadn't gotten a phone call. Just thinking about it made Ed start to cry again. He took a shaky breath, "Calm down… don't stress out… you can't stress out." His hand came to rest on his stomach.
About a half hour later, the phone in the kitchen rang. Ed shot up and was at the phone in a second. He hurriedly pulled it off the hook and in his haste dropped it. He fumbled with the cord before finally pulling it up to his ear.
"Hello?" He sniffled.
"Ed—" Roy's deep voice rumbled,
"Is she alright? Is my baby okay?"
"She's fine…"
Ed cried with relief, "Oh thank god…" He sniffled.
"She has a cold, the fever is her body's way of getting over it…"
Ed wiped his eyes with his sleeve and took a deep breath, "W-when… are… are y-you going to be h-home?" Ed asked through choked sobs.
"Soon… The doctor is prescribing her something to help bring down the fever… so another hour tops…"
Ed sniffled, "O-kay… I'll… I'll see you wh-en you get home… Be safe…"
"Of course… See you at home…"
The line went dead.
Ed hung up the phone, and sat back down at the table, sniffling. He drank the rest of his tea and waited for his husband to return home with his daughter.
Maybe 40 minutes later the front door opened. Ed stood up and peeked his head out of the kitchen. Roy closed the door behind him and put his keys on the little table next to the doorway.
"Oh… I was so worried…" Ed said holding back his tears. He wrapped his arms around Roy's waist and stared at Lulu in his arms. Her eyes were open and she smiled a toothless grin at her mother.
"I told you she was fine… she seems to feel better after the acetaminophen."
Ed took his daughter in his arms. He started to tear up again. He sniffled.
"Sweetie, she's fine you don't need to cry…" Roy chuckled.
"I always cry…" Ed whimpered. He looked at Lulu in his arms and kissed her forehead. "What all did the doctor say?"
"We need to keep her away from her siblings, she might spread it to Milo and Oliver…"
"She and Oliver share a crib… what if Ollie already has it?"
"I asked the doctor about that, he said that if she has the same symptoms we can just give her the same medicine..."
Ed cooed to his baby daughter, he held her close, snuggling her against his chest. He pressed his lips against her forehead and stayed like that for a few seconds. Lulu's dark eyes gazed up at him thoughtfully.
"My sweet baby girl…" She smiled and gurgled at her mother, raising an arm towards his face.
Roy wrapped an arm around Ed's waist, he kissed his temple and gently rubbed Ed's stomach. "It's time for bed… this little girl has had quite the evening."
Ed nodded and walked towards the stairs, still staring at Louisa. Roy trailed behind them.
Once in their room, Ed sat down on the bed, holding Lulu in his lap. Her head rested against his chest as he read a story to her to put her to sleep.
Lulu listened intently to her mother's words, gazing thoughtfully at the pictures in the book. When the book was over, he closed it and set it on the nightstand. Lulu looked up at her mother expectantly.
"I think she wants another story…" Roy said. He laid next to Ed and Louisa, on his side, his head propped up on his hand.
Ed groaned, "It's so late already…" Lulu babbled in his lap contently. Ed ran his fingers through her hair.
"Well… maybe if we just lay down with her… she'll drift off…" Roy suggested.
Ed laid down and put Lulu on her back between the two of them. The little girl whimpered and squirmed uncomfortably.
Roy gently patted her chest, which seemed to calm her. Ed pulled the sheet over his shoulder and settled back into the pillows.
"Get some sleep Ed, I'll make sure she falls asleep."
"I'm fine…" Ed protested sleepily. His eyes shut.
"You're pregnant… you need your rest…"
"Mmm… so do you…" He mumbled, already drifting off.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Lulu started to cry again, early in the morning. Ed sat up and pulled her into his arms. He cooed to her sweetly and rocked her gently. It must've been around four in the morning.
"Oh Lulu, I'm sorry you don't feel well…" He mumbled sleepily. "Roy." Ed nudged him with his leg.
"Mmm?" He groaned, rolling over. "What?"
"The medicine… she needs more medicine." Ed said frantically trying to quiet their sick daughter.
"She… only one every…" he fell silent.
Ed sighed, "Roy!" he kicked him. Lulu continued to wail loudly
Roy sat up, "What… what?" He asked, finally awake and alert.
"Lulu needs medicine…"
"She can only have one every 12 hours" Roy turned on the bedside lamp.
"Well what do we do?" Ed placed the back of his hand on Louisa's forehead, "She's hot… Roy…?" Ed teared up, "I feel so bad for her… she's only a little baby."
"Shh…" Roy rubbed his back comfortingly, "We don't need both of you crying…"
Ed sniffled and pulled the blanket off his legs. "I'm going to give her a bath… I think that will help…"
"Use the downstairs bathroom… you might wake Milo and Oliver…" Roy said, getting out of bed.
"Obviously." Ed replied, rolling his eyes. "Shh… Lulu… it's alright, Mommy's gonna make you feel better…"
Her cries turned into sobs, Ed went downstairs to the bathroom and ran a bath for the sick little girl. He sat her down on the floor and started to undress her. He noticed red patches on her skin.
"Roy!" Ed called.
"Mm?" He stood in the doorway of the bathroom, leaning against the doorframe.
"She's got a rash…?" Ed gently ran his thumb over the red skin, Lulu squirmed uncomfortably. "I'm sorry baby…" He let go of her arm and rand his fingers through her hair.
"Yeah, the doctor said that's normal… lots of babies get rashes when they're sick."
Ed nodded a bit unsurely, "alright…"
"He said that if we just use baby lotion it'll clear right up…"
"Oh-kay…" Ed finished undressing her and then placed her in the tub of shallow lukewarm water. His hand rested on her back, helping her to sit up. He gently splashed water over her limbs and torso.
Lulu seemed content, she flapped her arms in the water happily, all memory of the pain she was in, forgotten. "So what do you think the chances are that she's gonna go back to sleep?"
"Slim to none…" Roy said sitting down beside Ed.
Ed sighed, "I'm so tired…" he yawned and held Louisa upright. She continued to splash happily.
Roy nodded and looked at the clock hanging on the bathroom wall, "I have to go to work in four hours…"
"You're going to work?" Ed asked. Lulu blew spit bubbles down her chin.
"Well… I have a report I need to get done…"
"How am I going to deal with all three of the kids, if Lulu is supposed to be kept away from them?"
"I can't stay home…"
"So take Milo and Oliver to work with you…"
"I can't… I have work that I need to get done…"
Ed sighed, and got his hand wet, running it over Louisa's hair, he repeated this action several times.
"I'm sorry Ed…"
Ed shook his head and sighed with dismay, "Forget it… I'll figure something out…"
Roy put his hand on Ed's shoulder, Ed shrugged it off and focused his attention on Lulu.
Without a word, Roy stood up and left the bathroom.
Ed continued to give Louisa her bath while he sat, irritated. She continued to play, kicking her legs in the water, and wiggling happily.
After about twenty minutes, Ed pulled Lulu out of the tub and wrapped her up in a towel. He held her close, rubbing her back as she shivered. Her head rested on his shoulder.
Ed took her back upstairs and quietly went and grabbed a diaper, baby lotion, and pajamas from the nursery. He went back to his and Roy's room closing the door behind him quietly.
Roy was sitting on the bed, legs crossed, he was writing.
"What are you doing?" Ed asked, setting Louisa on the bed.
"I'm writing my report." He responded glancing at Ed.
Ed put some lotion in his hands and then started rub it on the rashy parts of Lulu's skin. She whimpered and squirmed, fussing.
"Shh… Lulu, I'm almost done… almost done…" he said, "There we go, all done…" She was silent and stared at her mother. Ed smiled down at her and began to fasten her diaper around her waist.
"What report? The one due today…?" Ed asked.
Roy nodded, "Yeah… I'm gonna go drop it off in a few hours, then I'm gonna come home… it's not fair of me to expect you to take care of the kids… They're mine too and I can't be so one sided…" He continued to write.
Ed blushed and looked down at Lulu. He slipped on her footie pajamas and zipped it up. He sat on the bed, placing Louisa in between him and Roy.
"Thank you…" He leaned over to place a kiss on Roy's cheek, as he did Roy turned his head and grabbed onto the back of Ed's neck, causing Ed to instead kiss him right on the lips.
Ed blushed and pulled away, "You cheater…"
Roy chuckled and went back to writing, "You should go back to sleep…"
Ed laid back into the pillows and pulled Lulu onto his chest. She stared at her mother with tired eyes, before dropping her head on his chest. The two of them fell asleep like that.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ed woke up when he heard the front door. He almost forgot about Lulu, still asleep on his chest. He lifted his head, peering around the room through bleary eyes. He put his hand on Lulu's head, keeping her pressed against his chest, he sat up slightly.
Roy appeared in the doorway. "Hey…"
"Was that you?" Ed asked. Roy was in his uniform.
"Yeah, just got back from dropping off the report…"
Ed dropped his head back into the pillows. "Why'd you put your uniform on if you were only there to drop off paperwork? It must've taken like five minutes…"
Roy started to undress, undoing the buttons, "Of course I put this on… what if one of the higher ups saw Colonel Mustang dropping off paperwork in sweatpants and a t-shirt…" He scoffed, "I'd look ridiculous… not to mention nobody would take me seriously…"
Ed only smiled and shook his head chuckling softly. He placed a kiss on Louisa's head, feeling her still overly warm forehead against his lips. Her arms rested on either side of her head, and her mouth hung open.
"Are Milo and Louisa awake yet?" Ed asked
"No… it's only 7:30, Ed…" He replied, pulling on his sweatpants. He walked to his side of the bed and laid down, pulling the blanket over his legs. He laid on his side and closed his eyes.
Ed moved, very little as he tried not to wake Lulu. He settled back into the pillows. Lulu jolted slightly in her sleep, but didn't wake. Very carefully and slowly Ed placed her on her back in the middle of the bed. Again she twitched, but didn't wake up.
Ed pulled the covers off his legs and slid out of bed.
Roy rolled over to watch him, "Where are you going?" He asked quietly.
"I'm just getting up… I'm not tired anymore… besides, Milo and Ollie will be up soon."
"Wake me up when they get up…" Roy buried his head into his pillow.
Ed nodded and closed the door to their bedroom.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Two weeks later
Ed felt like all the baby weight had come at once. He had only just reached the four month mark and all the aches and pains flooded his body. The kids sat playing in the living room while Ed hurriedly cleaned up the dishes from the kids' breakfast.
Milo came to the kitchen, and wrapped his arms around his mother's leg in a hug. "Mahma."
Ed put the last of the dishes in the sink, "Huh baby?" He asked drying his hands on a towel.
"ah wan pay ousid…"
"Outside?" Ed pulled back the curtain covering the kitchen window, the sun shone brightly in the sky, no clouds in sight. "Yeah, we can go outside and play for a bit…"
A smile spread across his face, "Yay!" He ran to the front door and pulled his jacket off its hook.
"It's too warm out for jackets Milo…" Ed said, he tugged the coat from his hands and hung it back up. He pulled a blanket over his shoulder, then walked around the other side of the couch where Ollie and Lulu sat playing. He scooped them up in his arms. "Let's go outside girls!" he said excitedly.
Milo stood at the door bouncing, waiting for his mother and sisters. "Mommeeeee! 'es go!"
"Yes Milo, I'm coming." He sat down on the floor and set the girls down beside him. "Milo come here… I need to put your shoes on…" Milo sat in his mother's lap and Ed tied his shoes on. He put his own shoes on and then grabbed the girls, finally going outside.
They walked around the backside of the house where there was just a big meadow. Milo ran ahead but stopped and stared behind him, waiting for his mother and sisters to catch up. "Milo, will you help mommy?"
"Da!" He squealed excitedly.
"Can you sit with your sisters while I spread out the blanket?" Ed asked, while setting Lulu and Ollie down on the grass. Milo sat between the two of them, wrapping an arm around each of their shoulders.
Ed spread out the blanket, "Okay Milo… you can… Oh! You're so adorable…" Ed cooed staring at his kids. "I wish daddy could see this…"
"Daddy 'om?"
"No, daddy's not coming home until dinner…" Ed crouched down and tousled Milo's hair, "you can go play now, but don't wander too far… stay where I can see you…"
Milo nodded and waddled off to play. Ed picked up Louisa and Oliver, setting them down on the blanket. Ed sat down and played with the girls, while keeping a watchful eye on Milo.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
They'd been outside for a few hours.
"Mommy! 'ook!" Milo stood behind Ed, holding a small purple flower.
"Oh it's so pretty… Milo, thank you very much…" Ed kissed him on the cheek.
"Mahma, 'o het toooys?"
"Mmm… I don't know Milo… I don't want you to go alone… I have to stay with your sisters here…"
Oliver and Lulu were laying on their backs looking up at the sky. They gurgled and babbled contently.
"Peaaas!" He whined. Milo's golden orbs stared at his mother hopefully.
He sighed, "I can't say no to that face… there's a ball in the front yard, you can get that… don't go any further…"
"Ohhhhh-kaaaay!" Milo squealed excitedly. He ran around to the front of the house. Ed sat the girls up. Lulu's dark eyes gazed at her mother, trying to blink the sun out of her eyes. Ollie gurgled and clapped excitedly, almost falling over.
"Mommeeee! Ook I foun!"
"What did you find baby?" Ed turned around. His face turned beet red. Milo was walking hand in hand with Van Hohenheim.
"Hello Edward…"
"H-Hello… Hohenheim…"
"I was informed this is your new residence… I expected Al to be here with you… but never did I expect to find a litter of children…"
Ed blushed even more… "Yeah, well..."
Milo let go of Hohenheim's hand and toddled to Ed's side. "'is my Mommy!" He declared, smiling at Hohenheim.
"Is he now? Well… you know just as you are his baby, he is my baby…"
Milo stared up at the man with fascination.
"Milo, why don't you run along and play…"
"I 'an pay wit Hohemmm!"
"We can play in a few minutes Milo, your…" He paused in consideration, "Mommy… and I have some catching up to do…"
Milo hesitantly skipped off to play.
Hohenheim sat down on the blanket. "Who are these lovely ladies?"
Ed pointed, "That's Louisa, and that's Oliver…"
"Twins?"
"Mmm…" Ed nodded his head.
"So. Obvious question… you're 'mommy'?"
Ed grimaced, "Uh… yeah…" His face flushed again.
"If you don't mind my aski-"
"I'm the one who gave birth to them… Because I tried human alchemy, apparently a womb is part of my punishment."
"Ahh. That makes sense…"
An awkward silence settled between the two of them.
Milo came running back, "Mommy! 'ook 'ook!" He held out his hand a little ladybug sat in his palm.
"Oh, look at that baby, it's a ladybug."
"aaadeee bug?" He asked, staring at the red and black bug.
"Yeah, that's right…" Ed said with a smile.
Milo went and sat in between his sister, "ook Luh-loo, Oh-lee, aadee bug!" He held his hand out and both of the little girls stared at his palm, completely transfixed.
Hohenheim stared at his son, then his grandkids. "Ed… I'm not sure if I'm overstepping my boundaries here, but… can I… be their grandfather?"
"Technically you are…" Ed mumbled
"That's not what I asked…"
Ed shrugged, "I mean… Milo doesn't even know what a grandparent is…"
"Well, maybe it's time he learn…"
Ed looked at the girls their cheeks rosier than usual, he was afraid they might get sunburned. "I wouldn't mind it terribly if you helped me take the kids inside… it's hard… with the three of them…" Ed avoided looking at him. He got on his knees, pulling Oliver into his arms.
"Oh… of course" Hohenheim stared at Ed's belly noticing the bulge and the slightly tight clothing. He reached for Louisa and picked her up in his arms.
Ed gathered up the blanket in his free hand. Milo latched onto the tail of his mother's shirt. Hohenheim walked behind them, Milo kept stealing curious glances at the large man.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ed sat on the floor with the kids, playing. Hohenheim was at the mantle, staring at the many pictures.
The front door opened, "Hey Ed!" Roy said dropping his things, "I just remembered our anniversary is in a couple wee-" He fell silent, seeing Hohenheim, who was staring right back at him. "Oh." He said surprised, "Hello."
"Hello…" Hohenheim responded coolly. "You must be Edward's partner. The colonel."
"Yes, his husband… Roy Mustang…" Roy said. "And you're Van Hohenheim…"
"Ah. I'm afraid so."
"Well. Good to meet you."
"Daahdee!" Milo squealed, and ran to his father.
Roy picked him, swinging him, "Milo! I missed you baby!" He kissed his nose, making his son giggle happily.
Hohenheim watched intently.
"Are you going to be staying long?" Roy asked.
"Ah, no. Just a quick visit. I was curious as to what Ed had been up to, I see now you've been very busy…" v
Ed blushed, "When you got here you asked about Al, do you plan to see him next?" Ed asked
"Yes, it was my initial thought that the two of you were living together, since not, he's my next stop…"
"He's back in Resembool…" Ed said, handing a toy to Lulu.
"Ah. Of course. That's where he belongs. Truly." He smiled kindly, "Speaking of which, it's time I get a move on… I've bothered you enough for one day Edward… It was nice seeing you, and meeting your family… congratulations on that by the way… they're beautiful… when is the next one due?"
Ed blushed, "In about six months…"
Hohenheim nodded, "Good luck, with that…"
Ed nodded, "Thanks…" He was really at a loss for words, he didn't know what to say to his estranged father.
Hohenheim went to the front door, "colonel…" He said in farewell. Roy nodded, in acknowledgement. The front door opened.
Milo squirmed in Roy's arms, "dow, dow, daddeeeee" Roy placed him down and he scurried to the door, "Gampaaah!" He wrapped his arms around Hohenheim's leg.
He stopped, frozen. Hohenheim reached down and stroked Milo's head gently. "Goodbye Milo. We'll meet again soon."
"Bye Gampah!" He said cheerily, staring up the man whom his mother so much resembled. Milo let go of his leg and he left, closing the door behind him.
Roy sat down on the couch, his legs behind Ed's back. He gently rubbed his shoulders, "How are you doing?"
"Fine…"
"Milo seemed to take a liking to him… he called him 'grandpa'…"
Ed shrugged, shaking a rattle in front of the girls Oliver reached for it and Ed gave it to her.
"Are you okay? You seem quiet…"
"I already told you, I'm fine…" Ed was silent for a few minutes, "He asked if he could be a grandfather to them…"
"And? What did you say?"
"I basically said it was up to the kids… and so he asked Milo… Milo's infatuated with him, so of course, after having the concept of a grandparent thoroughly explained to him, he started calling him 'grandpa'…"
"Well… did you enjoy the visit…?"
"I guess… I mean… he is my father…"
Roy nodded, listening. Ed started to tear up. He sniffled.
Roy rubbed his back, "Hey… wh-"
"What gives him the right?!" Ed sobbed. "He wasn't there for me… Does he think being there for our kids is going to make it better?"
"Ed… I'm sure he feels awful… but if he's in our kids' lives, he's in our lives… maybe he's trying to make it up to you…"
Ed wiped his eyes and leaned over resting his head on Roy's knee, closing his eyes.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
A few days later.
The phone was shaking wildly on the hook. Ed went to answer it. "Hello?"
"Brother!" Al said chirpily.
"Hey Al…" Ed replied
"So dad just came to visit… and he said the strangest thing."
"Oh yeah?" Ed asked absently.
"Yeah, he said that you were going to have another baby… and I told him that wasn't right 'cause if you were you would've told me…" Al paused waiting for Ed to respond. Ed didn't say anything. They were both silent, "Well brother, are you?"
"And if I am what's it matter, you didn't tell me Winry was pregnant!"
"Wha-! B-brother, how did you kn- I swear I was going to tell you."
"Mmhmm" Ed sounded doubtful.
"I was!" Al shrieked.
Roy came into the kitchen, Milo following behind him. The girls were sleeping upstairs. "Who are you talking to Ed?"
"Al…" He replied.
"What?" Al asked
"I wasn't talking to you Al… Why isn't he in bed yet!?" Ed asked
"He wanted juice…" Roy replied simply.
"Then you leave him in bed and go get him some juice…" Ed pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation.
"Hey take it easy…" Roy wrapped his arm around Ed's waist and placed a kiss on his temple.
Ed sighed, Al heard mumbles on the other end of the phone.
"Brother, I'm sorry I didn't tell you we were expecting sooner, but we wanted to wait to make sure…"
"Mm… It's okay Al…" Roy was nipping and licking Ed's neck as he spoke to Al. Ed's eyes fluttered shut. "Al, I've got to go… I need to put Milo to bed…"
"Okay… well, goodnight Ed… I'm glad we cleared that up…"
Roy continued to kiss Ed's neck, leaving small hickeys as he went.
"Mmm…" Ed groaned, "Yeah…"
"Brother, are you alright?"
Ed blushed, "Fine… 'm fine… goodnight!" he said hurriedly hung up the phone. "You couldn't wait?" He asked turning to face Roy.
"I couldn't help myself…" He mumbled into Ed's neck.
"Put Milo to bed first…"
"First?" Roy asked, cocking an eyebrow.
Ed smirked and nodded, pulling Roy's head down to give him a kiss.
"Mommy!" Milo whined.
Ed crouched down, brushing his curly bangs up. He kissed him on the forehead, "Daddy's going to put you to bed…"
"Da!" Milo grabbed hold of Roy's hand.
Ed started upstairs, Roy and Milo following behind. Roy held Milo's hands helping him to walk up each step, they'd been trying to teach him to go up and down the stairs on his own for a while now.
Ed disappeared into their bedroom closing the door behind him. Roy and Milo climbed the rest of the steps, and went into his room and read a story to get him to go to sleep. When Milo finally fell asleep Roy kissed him on the cheek and eagerly headed to their bedroom.
He turned the knob and pushed the door open a little, Ed slammed himself against the door, "I'm not ready yet!" he whined.
"What are you doing in there?" Roy asked, chuckling slightly.
Ed didn't answer, but Roy could hear him fumbling around on the other side of the door. Then it was completely silent. Roy opened the door once more, this time he actually made it into the room.
He was shocked at the sight he saw, Ed sat on the bed, cross legged, wearing black lingerie. There was a black top that parted, like a curtain. It hung down only leaving a sliver of his skin and pregnant belly showing. He had on a very small pair of lacey shorts, that didn't even reach halfway down his thighs. Ed's face was bright red and he stared down at the sheets in front of him as if they were the most interesting thing in the world.
"Well, you look incredibly sexy." Roy purred
If it was possible for Ed to blush anymore, he did. Roy stripped off his clothes and then began to crawl up the bed towards Ed.
"Where'd you get this?" He asked, slipping his fingers under the lacy underwear.
"Does it matter?" He asked, still avoiding Roy's gaze.
Roy smirked and pulled his chin up so he was forced to face him, "This is such a sweet treat…" He planted a kiss on Ed's lips. Gradually it got deeper, as Roy and Ed's tongues wrestled for dominance. The colonel began to press his husband back into the bed, Ed let him.
Roy's hands slid up Ed's sides, pulling the lacy fabric of his lingerie with them, as he began to knead his sensitive nipples.
Ed broke away from their kiss, gasping. His eyes were closed and he pressed his head back into the pillows. Roy gently nipped Ed's neck and shoulders then ran his tongue downward, gently licking the perky pink flesh.
Ed writhed with pleasure his hands flew to the sides of Roy's head in an attempt to push him away. Roy lifted his head glancing at Ed. He moved down lower, kissing Ed's belly and rubbing his baby bump affectionately, which gave Ed time to regain control over himself.
His arm was draped over his eyes and forehead as he tried to catch his breath. Roy went a little lower and kissed Ed's scar, making the younger blonde twinge with sensitivity.
"Does it tickle?" Roy asked with a smirk
"Mm…" Ed groaned, "A little…"
"How about here?" Roy asked, starting to pull the lacy shorts down his hips.
"Mmm…" Ed stayed unmoving, his arm still resting on his face.
"Lift your hips…" Roy commanded. Ed did so. Roy pulled the lingerie down the rest of the way, kissing Ed's thighs as he did. Roy tossed the small article of clothing away. His hands rested on the knobs of Ed's knees, and then slowly snaked upward. "Spread your legs…" Roy said softly, prying them apart.
Ed braced himself for whatever came next. Roy leaned over, hovering above him he pulled his arm off his face. "Why are you hiding?" Roy asked playfully.
"This is embarrassing…"
Roy smirked and leaned close, planting a kiss on his blushing husband's lips. Ed wrapped his arms around Roy's neck, pulling him closer. They broke apart. Roy sat up and sucked on his fingers, then gently reached down, nudged one inside of Ed, then another.
Ed's grip tightened on Roy's shoulders. He stifled a moan, biting his lower lip.
"Is this… alright, are you alright?" Roy asked.
Ed nodded, and a moan escaped his lips. "I've had… enough of… the foreplay…" Ed said between breaths.
"Always so eager when you're pregnant… aren't you?" Roy pulled out his fingers. "You do it then…"
"W-what?" Ed asked stupidly.
"Put my dick in-" Roy was silenced when Ed covered his mouth.
"Don't be vulgar…" Ed said.
"Oh come on sweetheart…" Roy teased, pulling Ed's hand from his mouth.
Ed blushed again, "You're really gonna make me do this?"
Roy nodded. Ed sighed and reached down, gripping onto his husband's member. Ed stroked his twitching cock a few times for good measure before he placed the piece of hot flesh against his entrance.
Ed lifted his hips and gently pushed them forward. Roy's cock rubbed against his sensitive skin. Ed whimpered, "I can't…"
Roy placed a kiss in the center of his chest and worked his way up to Ed's neck, while gently pushing himself inside of his pregnant husband.
Ed whimpered, wrapping his arms around the back of Roy's neck and hooking them together. "All… all the wa-" A moan was forced out of his throat, as he felt Roy slide himself in deeper. Ed whimpered as Roy started to pound in and out of him. Roy placed a line of kisses on his neck and shoulders.
Roy sped up in his fervor, causing a long string of moans to fall from Ed's mouth.
As they continued, Ed kept getting louder. He covered his mouth, trying to keep quiet so as not to wake the kids. As he felt his imminent climax approaching he bit the side of his thumb.
Roy pulled his hand out of his mouth and intertwined their fingers together. He leaned down planting a kiss on Ed's mouth. Roy kept thrusting, each time his movements getting bigger as he too approached climax.
"Ed…"
He only whimpered in response. Eventually he managed to choke out two words, "kiss… me."
Roy immediately kissed him, very sloppily, and Ed came, moaning into the kiss as he did. With a couple more quick thrusts, Roy came, a low groan lingered in the back of his throat.
Ed laid, panting, staring up at Roy with heavy lidded eyes, glazed over with pleasure. His arms fell to his sides. "I need to take this off…" He said quietly, tugging at the lacy top he still wore. "It's itchy…"
"Mmm." Roy placed another kiss on his lips before he pulled out and collapsed beside Ed.
Since the weight was now off of Ed, he pulled off the skimpy lace top and tossed it on the floor.
"Mm…" Roy groaned, "You looked so sexy…"
Ed pulled the cover up and over his shoulder. "It's itchy…" He responded flatly. "Will you wake me up when you get up… so I can shower?"
"If I get up before you…" Roy mumbled. He rolled over and wrapped his arms around Ed, pulling him close. He kissed the nape of his neck. "I love you
"Hmm" Ed hummed tiredly, "'ove you too." He mumbled, barely awake. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
