[ Discontinued ] Afterwords (A FMA Fan-Fic)

Like A Dream

Ayumi

Alphonse was shocked when I told him. I've known I was pregnant for a few weeks now, but I never had the chance to tell Al. He always said he wanted a family, and I did too, though. 

Al finally said happily, "I'm so happy! We can finally start our family!" Then he hugged me real tight. I was just worried about if the baby is going to be healthy and if we can take care of it. I was worried about the pain, too. 

"I guess a lot has happened today, huh Al? I'm happy about it all, though, but it was a lot for one day." 

"Yeah, I guess. At least we're happy about it, though." Then he had a serious look on his face. "You're not thinking of abortion, are you?" 

I shook my head. "No! It's a human life, so I'm not gonna ruin it." Al sighed in relief. He's always told me he wanted kids, and when he got the chance, he took care of Rose's children. I guess he doesn't have to anymore. 

Then he asked, "Can we still get the cat?" 

I nodded. "Yeah. This house isn't going to have any room left. Do you want to say goodbye to the people that's left?" 

"Yeah, it's the least we owe them for coming to our wedding." I loved how he put others before him. 

We went outside, and there was only a few people left. Trevor was going to stay in town for a few days, so he can learn some stuff from Pinako. That's something they both had in common-attitude and auto-mail. 

Ling was still there, on the floor, moaning, "Food....Food....Ayumi....Food.....No.....Ayumi Yao......" 

I started kicking him and yelled, "Get off the ground! And no, I'm not married to you, I'm married to Alphonse!" 

By then, everyone started to leave, but Ling refused to leave until I gave him my hand in marriage. We threatened to call the police, which got him to leave. 

As soon as I got inside, I plopped down on the couch. So did everyone else. I moaned, "Man, I'm so tired! I barely did anything, though." 

Eclair half-laughed. "That's pregnancy for ya. I can still do everything I used to, but it takes some getting used to." 

I lifted up my shirt a little just so I could see my stomach. "I can't believe that there's actually someone inside me. I'm excited and all, but I'm too excited, because it feels like a dream. A good one, though." 

 

Suddenly, Edward left. Again. It's starting to become something we're all used to. This time, Alphonse went after him, insisting that El and I needed rest, since we were pregnant and all. We just sat on the couch, while I was thinking about the life inside my stomach.
