body div#devskin0 hr { }
Winry’s first month of pregnancy ended very quickly after the storm incident. After all was said and done, she swore to herself that she would never go to the lake by herself again. It had taken the both of them some time to heal, which was as surprise to her because Ed’s recovery rate was usually abnormally fast, and though Ed did recover, the same could not be said about his automail.
The couple had just gotten home from the hospital, about a month’s time had passed, when Winry practically jumped Ed so that she could take a look at his leg.
“Nooooooo!” Winry screeched in horror, “My automail!!!” The sound echoed in the basement of their new home, the basement being her place operation, as she held the unrepairable metal leg up to face, letting her tears fall like a water fall, her cheeks becoming red.
“Sheesh women,” Ed remarked, holding his hands up to his ears, “Pipe down would you? It’s just automail.”
Winry’s eyes stopped tearing, and the tears were replaced with a murderous intent, “What did you say?” she slowly brought herself to her feet, “JUST AUTOMAIL???!!!”
W-what the hell?! He’d seen her get mad at him over automail comments before, but never like this! Ed began hopping in desperation to get away from the person who sure as hell didn’t look like Winry at the moment. “Hehe, um j-just calm down Winry?” He said her name like a question, still convinced that the woman chasing him wasn’t his wife.
“Calm down?” They had reached the top of the basement stairs now, “You want me to calm down when my poor automail is in this kind of state?!” A sudden thought occurred to her just then and stopped her unnecessary fuming. Well, his automail wouldn’t be in this condition if he hadn’t had to go and save me that night.
She quickly stood up straight, out of her wrench throwing position and into a proper one. “U-umm, never mind!” She flashed Ed a half-hearted smile while scratching the back of her head and quickly retreated back down to her work shop.
“Damn, why did I go into that fit of rage? It clearly wasn’t his fault.” She spoke as she began pacing back and forth. Blame the sky, blame the sky. After about a minute, she sighed and stopped chanting in her head, “Oh well, the least I can do now is get started on his new leg.”
She walked over to the lovely box where she kept all of her supplies with determination in her eyes. I’m going to make him the best leg he’s ever had! Quickly, she unlocked the latch and opened the lid. A blank expression covered her face. For ten seconds she stood there, staring into her box, her empty box.
“Noooooooo!!” She cried out in a horror like manner, frightening the house guests she had.
Soon she heard the basement door creak open, “U-umm, is everything okay down here?” Ed questioned, still frightened by the woman who disguised herself as his wife earlier.
“Eeeeddd…”
“Y-yeah?”
“I don’t have any parts for your new leg…”
Oh great. “Th-then that means.”
“Yeah, I have to go to Rush Valley for some new parts.” Again, a new thought occurred in her head. “Wait a second; I get to go to Rush Valley!!”
Ed quickly moved out of the door way so that the now ecstatic and running Winry could get through. She was half way up the stairs to their room when she stopped, “Oh right!” She quickly ran back down, and grabbed Ed by the hands.
“You’ll come with me right? Didn’t Mustang give you those days off?”
Pfft, he laughed inside in his head, Only because you threatened him to. “Yeah, I’ll come.” Even if he didn’t have those days off, he wouldn’t have been able to say no to the face she was giving him.
Again, she ran back up the stairs and into their room, leaving Ed to his thoughts. Of course I’d end up marrying the woman who’d openly threaten the Fuhrer of the nation for a few days off for her husband.
“Hurry up and come pack Ed!” Her voice traveled down to the first floor.
“Well, it’s not that easy going up the stairs with one leg you know?”
“Oh that’s right!” He heard her run out of the room and appear at the stop of the stairs, “I forgot to give you your temporary one!”
Swiftly, she ran back down the stairs but was stopped by Ed before she could make in all the way down, “Thanks Winry.” He flashed a smile, making her blush a deep scarlet.
To hide her embarrassment, she quickly released herself from his grasp and disappeared down into the basement, “You’re welcome!”
Ed laughed and spoke to himself, “I win.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She stepped of the train with Ed in tow, stretching her arms in the process, overjoyed to be back in Rush Valley. She hadn’t seen her friends from here since the wedding, and now she had even bigger news for them. I get to tell them I’m pregnant!!
She reached her hand down to her now completely visible baby bump and took in the bustling town of Rush Valley. You’re gonna come here a lot too baby! I’ll teach you everything there is to know about automail.
“Oh man, I forgot how great it feels to be here!”
“Yeah, just great.” Ed was less than happy. If wasn’t his favorite thing in the world to be in a place where people would strip you in the middle of the street just to get a look at your automail.
“Well, come on Ed! Let’s go see Garfiel and Paninya!” She spoke to him as she began running off in the direction of the shop, forgetting the fact that he couldn’t run at the moment.
“Sheesh, where did she get all that energy from?” Ed questioned. Pregnancy was still quite a mystery to him and it wasn’t something he was going to try and understand. One moment she would be upset and tired, then the next she would be happy and full of energy. Grabbing the bags that were left behind, Ed began slowly making his way towards the shop.
He reached the building in about twenty minutes, and walked straight to the back. Well, I guess she told them, he thought as he came upon the trio. He assumed this by the way Winry was currently being treated. She was sitting on a comfy looking sofa, her legs propped up on a table with a pillow, and a drink in hand with Garfiel fanning her from behind.
“Winry we still have some cake left from last night!” Paninya came running into the room, knocking Ed down in the process, seemingly unaware of his presence there.
“Awe, thank you Paninya!” She immediately began scarfing down the food, “I was getting kind of hungry anyway.”
“Oh Ed!” Winry spoke noticing Ed lying on the floor, “What’re you doing down there?”
He was about to reply when a huge shadow began looming above him, “Congratulations Edward!!” Garfiel pulled him up and into a death hold that was meant to be a congratulatory hug, “I’m so happy for you two!”
“C-can’t breath..” He was being suffocated, while Winry and Paninya sat on the couch, happily chatting away.
“Goodness!” Garfiel let go and put his hands to his cheeks, “I’m so sorry dearie!”
What the hell? Dearie? Ed gave a glance over to the muscular feminine man; he was dressed in a hot pink shirt and was wearing unintelligible bottoms. He shivered when he saw that familiar sparkle hovering beside his face.
“Hey Ed,” Winry snapped him out of his shivering trance, “come over to this room. I need to take your measurements.”
Once they were inside, she shut the door behind them and Ed went about the usual routine, only this time since he didn’t have a metal arm anymore, he didn’t need to take his shirt off. Thank God for that, he thought. It wasn’t embarrassing before, but now that they were married, somehow it was completely different.
Winry turned from the toolbox and faced Ed, wearing that same meticulous face that she always wore while working. Silently, she measured his flesh leg and gained a surprised look on her face.
“Ah! You grew!” She spoke as she looked up to him.
“Really?!” He pulled Winry up, and observed their difference in height, “You’re right!” He put his hand on top of her head, “You do look shorter.”
“Hey!” She slapped his hand off of her head, “Why did you even have to check by comparing our heights?”
“Well,” Ed began to admit, “to be honest, I’ve always done that.” He began putting his clothes back on as he spoke, “Ever since we were little, when everyone began making comments on my height, whenever I was around you I’d secretly check to see if I’d grown any.”
Winry didn’t know what to say, Was that rude? Was that sweet? “How am I supposed to take that?” She asked Ed, giving up on figuring out the question herself. She put away the measuring tape and sat down next to him, waiting for his reply.
“Hmm, well at first it began like a one sided competition, me wanting to be taller than you so that I could defeat you’re superiority of being the taller one.” He explained, “But then when you said that you wouldn’t marry anyone shorter than you, it bugged me, and in result I just wanted to become taller, not out of competition though. I didn’t know why it bugged me, though I do now,” he gave her a smile, “but yeah, ever since then I just wanted to be taller than only you.”
“Huh. Umm well I guess,” she gave him a quick kiss, “thank you.” Her mouth formed into a warm hearted smile, making him turn beet red.
“Y-you’re welcome!” He quickly got up and left the room, leaving Winry to collect the supplies she needed to start on a new leg.
She laughed to herself when he left the room, I win!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had taken Winry all day to collect the things she needed. She bought not only the things she needed for Ed’s leg, but much, much more. She really just couldn’t stop herself; there were too many things on sale.
So now they were heading to the hotel they were staying at, with an abundance of metal creeping in a cart behind them.
“Where are we going to put all of this stuff?” Ed questioned while looking at the huge pile.
Winry, still completely satisfied with her day answered with a smile, “Oh, don’t worry. The hotel will hold it for us here in the lobby.”
Without questioning any further, Ed went straight up to their room, desperately needing rest from the day he just had. Rush Valley was moving further back on his list of places he never wanted to go.
“I’m gonna take a shower, are you gonna to sleep yet?” he spoke to Winry as he was taking clothes out of his suit case.
“No way!” Winry sat on the bed with a piece of metal that he couldn’t identify, tinkering with it, “How can I go to sleep when I have all this new material?!”
“Alright, well I’ll see you when I get out I guess.”
“Yeah, sure.” She replied to him, most likely not knowing what he just said.
He walked in to the fairly large bathroom, and turned the shower on, letting the water run for a little while. Whenever he was alone like this, he couldn’t help but think of the baby.
I wonder what it’ll be like? Will it be a boy or a girl? Will I be a good father? Will it like me? Questions like these couldn’t help but run through Ed’s mind, making him feel a slight fear of the future. But every time this happened, he thought back to the night Winry had told him she was pregnant. He thought about how he declared that they were going to be the best damn parents in the world, and how Winry laughed and immediately agreed with him.
That’s right! I’m not gonna be some half-assed father! With this thought, he traveled back into reality, and quickly showered, taking about only five minutes time.
He opened the bathroom door, and was met with a passed out Winry sprawled across the bed, her piece of metal abandoned on the floor. “Pft, and she said there was no way she was sleeping yet.”
He walked over to the bed, carefully picked her up, and moved the sheets so that he could cover her. He laid her back down, and noticed that her hands immediately went to her now round stomach. Without telling them to, his hands reached down and covered the parts of her belly that her own hands weren’t covering.
“So you’re in there huh?” he whispered to the baby, “I bet it’s nice and warm, just like you’re mother.”
Winry gave the slightest of smiles, deciding not to let Ed know that she was awake. If she suddenly made her consciousness aware, Ed would be completely embarrassed. So, she decided not to. She wanted to let Ed enjoy that moment alone with their growing baby.
Slowly, she sighed with contentment and let herself drift back into a deep sleep. This man is going to be the best father ever, just like he said so.
