EdWin - Due Date (Complete)

Part 2

The night had passed without any more sleep for Winry, on the other hand, when she would look at Ed, he had his hand on his exposed stomach and was sleeping like a rock, snoring away. Well, at least one of us can sleep soundly, she thought with irritation. The possibility of her being pregnant was still wracking her brain; therefore, she had no sleep.

When Ed had finally gotten up, she feigned her unawareness, letting him get dressed and go to work as usual. Even though Ed didn't have his alchemy anymore, his knowledge hadn't disappeared. After he had gotten back from his trip to the west, the current Fuhrer of Amestris, Roy Mustang, had asked him to come back to the military and share what he had learned with the rest of the alchemists, as well as Alphonse. Reluctantly Ed had agreed, knowing that he would have to make a living somehow and he now boarded a train for Central four days out of the week.

So, she kept her eyes closed, hoping he wouldn't notice her consciousness, but couldn't resist smiling a tiny bit when she felt his lips brush against her forehead.

"I'll be back soon. Love you Win." He whispered the words into the crown of her head, leaving a tickling sensation there as he left the room.

She peeked into the room out of one eye, listening intently for the sound of the front door shutting, and flew out of bed to the phone when it did. Hastily, she dialed the number to granny's house, knowing that she would have some sort of answer after talking to her.

After a few rings it picked up, "Good God, who is it calling this early?! We don't open up shop until twelve o'clock!"

Winry sighed, "Calm down granny, it's just me."

"Oh!" Surprise colored Pinako's voice, "What are you calling so early for child?"

Suddenly Winry's nerves began to escalate, for some reason this felt extremely embarrassing to her now. "U-umm, well, I think u-uh, that maybe I might, m-might"

"For goodness sakes child, what is wrong?" Pinako's patience was beginning to grow thin.

Damnit! "Um, ok, ok, ok, um I think I might, that maybe I might, possibly, maybe be........p-p-p-p-pregnant!" She shouted the last word unintentionally, making her look around for ears that might've heard her, though she knew no one was in the house but her.

Silence covered the phone line, making Winry's nervousness climb to the highest that it's ever been.

"Umm, granny? You still there? Please say something."

There were a few more moments of gut wrenching silence before Pinako spoke again, "Are you sure dear?" You could hear the small smile inside her voice, "This is a very serious matter you know!"

"I know that." Geez, I know that pregnancy is a serious thing granny. "The only reason I think this way is because I've been really hot and moody lately, I've been craving weird things, and my period is really late!"

"Alright then Ms. Adult, come over here straight away," there was some paper rustling over the phone, "I'm going to accompany you to the doctor's, and no complaints! I know how you hate going to the doctors."

"I don't hate it!" she said with stubbornness, "It's just that I will away my sickness! Why go to the doctor's when you'll get over what you have soon enough?"

"Well dear, if what you think is true, then you won't get over this for nine months. Now hurry and come over here." Granny spoke one last time and hung up.

Winry sighed, She's right. A small defeated pout covered her face as she went upstairs to get herself ready. Nine months huh?
