Chapter 3

The phone rang very early the next morning, causing Ed to twist in his bed. He tried to block out the sound by covering his ears with his pillow, but the infernal ringing did not cease. At about the fourth ring, Ed finally decided that he wouldn't get any more sleep. Opening his eyes and letting out a loud yawn, he stretched and sleepily got out of bed. Walking like a zombie, he arrived at the phone and picked it up. "'Lo?"

"Hello, this is Doctor Callaway, calling for Edward Elric."

Ed seemed to be knocked into consciousness at the name mentioned. "Doc? Why're you calling?"

"The results of your blood test have come in." replied the voice on the phone, sounding very solemn. "I'd like it if you could meet me at my office to discuss them."

Ed didn't argue, he merely nodded. "I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Right, goodbye then."

"Bye."

Ed made his way to the Doctor's office as quickly as possible and soon found himself in the familiar waiting room, staring at the clock, his legs crossed, twitching his foot in the air. It seemed as if he'd been waiting for an eternity before a red haired nurse opened the door and called out his name, asking him to follow her.

Doctor Callaway sat behind his desk, a file in hand as Ed took a seat across from him, thoroughly concerned by this point. The expression on the Doctor's face wasn't a very happy one, in fact, it seemed as if something very big was bothering him.

"So...find out what's wrong with me?" Ed asked, almost laughing out of nervousness.

The Doctor adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and cleared his throat, opening up Ed's file. "I'm afraid I did, and you aren't going to like it one bit, Mr. Elric."

Ed peered at the open folder upon the desk, staring at the writing inside. It seemed to be written in some foreign language, or maybe it was due to the fact that he was reading it upside-down. His eyes met Doctor Callaway's and he let out a sigh. "Just...just tell me..."

"You're pregnant."

Ed's world seemed to freeze. He felt his heart stop within his chest, his eyes widened, and the color drained from his face. His worst fears were becoming reality. The doctor couldn't possibly be joking, could he? No, not with that serious look on his face. "H-How?..."

Doctor Callaway simply shook his head. "Frankly, I haven't a clue."

"Then how do you know I'm–I'm–"

"Pregnant? We ran every other possible test using your blood, pregnancy was the very last one. It came up a very strong positive the first time around, and we tried it three times after that, each one still coming up positive. It seems you're the first male in history to become pregnant."

Ed shook his head, eyes down casting to the floor. "But...I-I can't!"

"It must have had something to do with the strange array that Homunculous used."

Instantly, the young Alchemist's head snapped up, glaring angrily at the old man before him. "Are you saying Envy did this? You're saying he got me pregnant?"

"Nothing else would explain it, I'm afraid." Doctor Callaway explained as calmly as possible, sighing.

Ed felt his hands tighten into fists, his teeth grinding against one another. "I-I'll kill him..." Hot tears were welling up in his eyes, trying to force their way out. "I-I'll kill him for doing this to me!"

The Doctor stood up and walked over to Ed, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Please, Edward, I know this is a very stressful time for you, but try not to be overemotional, it could harm the child."

"Overemotional? Overemotional?" Ed sprung up from the chair, knocking it over and slapping Doctor Callaway's hand away from his shoulder. "I just found out I'm pregnant! Pregnant! How can I NOT be overemotional?" The tears had started to flow, and there was no stopping them. The Doctor set up the chair again, and Ed instantly fell back down into it, biting at his lip and trying to suppress his waterworks. This was going to be another long day...

With some words of wisdom from the Doctor, Ed was on his way home once again, feeling broken, angry, confused, and upset. He wanted to crawl back into bed and fall asleep for the rest of his life. Doctor Callaway had told him to take better care of himself by eating the right foods, getting plenty of rest and taking special vitamins. This was of course, after he and Ed had decided that there was no way the child would be terminated. Ed was not one for killing people who didn't even get a shot at living. He couldn't take another life, the best he could do was go through with this. But how the hell was he supposed to keep this a secret? He couldn't walk into central with an overly round stomach in a couple of months without being questioned. There was no way he could explain it to anyone, especially the Colonel. He'd be teased off the face of the planet.

He arrived back home after his brisk walk and opened the front door, setting his keys down on the table beside the door. Naturally, the second he was inside, the phone rang. He punched the back of the door with his fist before picking up the receiver.

"What do you want?"

"Edward, goddamnit, why do you have to answer like that?"

"W-Winry!" instantly, Ed regretted answering the phone so sourly. "W-What's up?"

"Lieutenant Hawkeye called me yesterday, she said you haven't been feeling well and that Al is on some sort of mission."

'Great...just great, Hawkeye beat me to it...'

"I'm coming to take care of you, I'm at Central Station, I should be over within the hour." Winry replied, sounding somewhat concerned. "How're you feeling?"

"Oh, just wonderful." Ed replied, voice dripping with sarcasm.

Winry sighed angrily into the phone, hurting Ed's ears slightly. "Look, I know you hate being looked after, but is it so bad to have me take care of you? I mean, we'll be all alone..."

'Why did that sound some what seductive?' Ed wondered, a blush spreading across his face. "Win, you know I don't mind as much when it's you who's watching over me, but–"

"No buts," Winry interrupted. "I'm gonna be on my way now. Get some rest until I get there, alright?"

Ed swallowed, his mood improving slightly. Winry really cared about him, and seeing her would help him greatly, but there was no way he could tell her what was really wrong with him. "O-Okay."

"I love you..."

Ed felt his heart melt within his chest. "I love you too..." he whispered. There was a click from the other end and Ed set the phone back down.

Winry made her way through Central, weaving in and out of crowds, and taking in the scenery. She hadn't been there in about a half a year, and already so much had changed. She noted all the new shops as she passed them, peeking into the display windows at the goodies inside. Oh, how she wished she could go shopping! 'No,' she told herself quickly before she began getting carried away. 'I'm here to help Ed, not to shop for new wrenches or clothes!'

So, using her strong willpower, Winry finally arrived at the Elric apartment doorstep. She reached up a soft hand to rap on the door, and then stood back, gripping her suitcase.

Hesitantly, the door was opened, and Ed came into view, staring at her with a very serious look on his face.

"What? Not happy to see me?" Winry teased, stepping inside and setting her suitcase down. She then turned to her short boyfriend and wrapped her arms around him as he slammed the door shut with his foot.

Ed tensed, unable to embrace her. He felt huge, like he'd already be showing. 'What if she could feel it?...I-I can't let her touch me, she can't find out.'

"Win, look...it was nice of you to come all the way here and everything, but–"

Winry placed a finger on his lips, cutting his sentence short. "I already told you, no buts." She then replaced her finger with her own lips and kissed him softly. Ed finally gave in and began kissing her back, unable to contain himself. He was so confused, so broken, but her kisses always found a way of comforting him and healing all his wounds.

Winry pulled back and looked at Ed worriedly. She reached up a hand to run through his silky golden locks and shook her head. "You're pale...come lie down."

Ed lay down on the couch with Winry tucked into his side. The two barely fit laying the way they were, Ed felt like he'd fall off. Despite his fear, Ed was able to hold Winry close to him, his arms wrapped around her waist. He had come to the conclusion that she'd find out eventually. In time, she'd piece everything together, right? Of course, Winry's a smart girl. So, then, there's no need to tell her, right? Right.

"What're you thinking about?"

"Hmm?" Ed snapped out of his thoughts and was met by a pair of shimmering blue eyes. "Nothing."

Winry's fingers stopped twisting his braid and she gave him a very solid look. "Edo, you don't think I'd buy that, do you? I know you too well, I can tell when something's bothering you."

Ed broke their stare, his eyes traveling to the white ceiling above him. "I just don't feel well..."

Winry gave a heavy sigh as she rested her head on his chest. "Fine. If you don't wanna tell me now...just...just know that I'm always here for you...and that...you can tell me anything..."

Ed smiled, his hand traveling down her back and brushing her hair between his fingers. "Thanks, Win." The young alchemist released a sigh that seemed to have been trapped in his lungs forever. With Winry here he'd surely be alright, right? He could get through this.

Winry had fallen asleep on him about fifteen minutes later, leaving Ed alone to his thoughts. He stared down at her placid face, brushing his fingers over her soft plush lips. He was terrified of loving her, suddenly. Terrified of her finding out, of her reaction. If she found out, she'd leave. After all, who would want a pregnant boyfriend?

However, sooner or later, she would find out. Knowing the way Winry reacted when he hid secrets from her, wouldn't sooner be better? Edward recalled his conversation with Doctor Callaway from earlier that morning, thinking things through a little longer.

"Here," a note was slipped into Ed's shaking hands, and he stared down at it as the doctor continued talking. "It will allow you to take time off from HQ." Ed nodded, sniffling and tucking the letter away into the pocket of his black pants. "You live with your younger brother, correct?"

Ed raised a brow. "Yeah, why?" He wasn't thinking of telling Alphonse. It was about the last thing on his mind at that moment. Al looked up to him, respected him, loved him. What would he think if he found out his older brother was pregnant? He'd be horrified, and that would break Edward more than anything else could.

"You're going to need some help getting through this. You should tell your brother about your situation."

Ed laughed a bit. "First off, I'd never be able to tell Al what happened to me that night, or what's going on with me now. Second, he isn't here in the first place. He went off on a mission."

"When will he be back then?" All the doctor got in response was a simple shrug. "Well then, who else do you trust, Edward?"

"No one." Ed spat as quickly as possible. "I'm NOT telling anyone about this, and you can't make me. I'll be fine on my own, I don't need anyone's help."

"You may say that now, but in a few months when you're lugging around all that extra weight you're going to wish you had someone helping you. Simple tasks like putting your shoes on are going to become very difficult."

Ed bit his lip, wrapping an arm around his abdomen. He was trying his hardest to suppress the disgusting images that were swimming in his mind. "I-I'll manage..."

"You don't have anyone else you trust even the tiniest bit?" Doctor Callaway asked, leaning back in his chair and folding his arms.

Instantly, an image of Winry popped into his mind, and Ed's cheeks lit up. "I-I told you! I don't trust anyone!"

Doctor Callaway noticed the pink tinge on his patient's face and smirked. "Oh, so you have a girlfriend, do you?"

Ed's head snapped up, his face going from pink to bright red. "NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"

"Who is she?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"She obviously means a lot to you, if you're willing to protect her information from everyone, Edward. Maybe she can help you."

Ed paused and relaxed in his chair again. Winry? Help him? She's already helped him more times than he could count. But then again, she was bound to want to see him sooner or later. He had promised that he'd visit her more often, now that they were together. It wasn't like he hated going to the Rockbells, no, it was the exact opposite now that there was something to do there. He enjoyed those long nights with Winry. She calmed him, excited him, cleansed him. She was exactly what he needed to balance his life (which was perfect before Envy rudely interrupted). He balance her life as well, except for the fact that she was tending to his injuries and broken automail almost every month, which only added to her stress. He couldn't possibly ask her to take care of him again. All he'd ever done was hurt her, making her wait for him for weeks on end. "No. I won't ask her to do that."

"Edward, if she loves you, she's going to find out sooner or later. You shouldn't hide things from those you care about. They're going to be worried for you, they're going to WANT to help you. You just have to give them a chance to do so."

Ed lifted his head to stare into doctor Callaway's caring eyes. The doctor gave a soft smile, and Ed knew that he was right.

He didn't know how long he'd been asleep, but when he woke up the sun was already setting. His stomach was churning again, and he felt like he was going to be sick. Swiftly, he got up off the couch (completely forgetting that Winry was right next to him) and dashed off to the bathroom.

Feeling an absence of heat, Winry drowsily sat up and looked around. "Edo?.." He only answer was a loud lurching noise coming from the bathroom to which she responded by running straight in the direction of the noise. "Ed?"

She skidded to a halt in back of her boyfriend, gathering up his hair and holding it back as he emptied the contents of his stomach into the bowl. Ed noticed her presence instantly, and felt tears stinging at the corners of his eyes. "W-Winry..."

"Ed, what's wrong? You have a stomach virus?"

How could he lie to her? The answer was, he couldn't. "No..."

Winry gave a confused look as Ed flushed the toilet and closed the lid, refusing to turn around. "What's wrong then?.."

Ed shut his eyes tightly. "I...Winry..." The alchemist got to his feet and faced the young mechanic behind him. "I need to tell you something really important..."

Winry simply nodded and Ed continued. "I think it'd be better if you were sitting down."

The two moved into the bedroom, where Winry sat awkwardly on the bed, staring at Ed who sat next to her, explaining everything that happened on that horrible night. Throughout his story he could see the fear in Winry's crystal eyes increasing. Tears began forming at a point, and started spilling down her eyes as Ed told her exactly what Envy did to him. He was barely able to get most of the words out, he kept choking up. He was getting shivers just recalling the events of that night. Winry eventually calmed down once Ed began explaining about his recent sickness. She was now more confused than upset. Ed told her of his visits to doctor Callaway's office, he explained all about the tests that were performed, and then (after he'd summoned up every ounce of courage in his body) he started to explain what was most important.

"When I woke up this morning, doctor Callaway called me saying the results of the tests were in. So I went back...he explained that my symptoms weren't normal for me. T-They...they resemble symptoms experienced by pregnant women...and that's when he told me the truth..." Gripping his knees and lifting his head, his clad iron gaze met Winry's clouded concerned eyes. "I'm pregnant, Winry..."

-AUTHOR'S CORNER-

And it ends on a cliffhanger! Basically I'm ending it here because I'm REALLY tired right now and Winry's reaction is most likely going to be a long one. It'll have to wait until I wake up a bit and start the new chapter. In the mean time, please review! I've come up with an ending for this story, a little twist -grins wickedly- bwahahaha! Check back soon for updates! Ja ne!

EDXWINRY FOREVER!
