Uncle Ed

by Ragond

Notes: This is a drabble series, based on the story "The Waiting Family". This is the first time I do drabbles, though... Some follow a time-line, but it's easy to guess it. For now, I'm not using a theme list. If I ever do, I'll tell you.

1. Leaving

When he announced that he was going to Central, to see how things were going in the Military, they were worried that he was angry at them. Edward simply laughed and hugged them both, telling them not to worry about such things.

He had only been with them for two weeks, and already he was restless. Even helping his brother to water the field hadn't done anything to change his boredom.

Edward left one morning, promising to write or call whenever he could. As he walked away from the house, he could see the three of them waving at him. He smiled as he understood. That was his family.
