It was nearly 2 o’clock in the morning, a month since Alphonse left, and nearly a full hour since Melody gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Alice. She was born May 23. 1924 at 1:45 in the morning.She was given big brown eyes like her father and dark hair like her mother.
’’Wait till your daddy lays eyes on you,’’
Melody whispered softly.
’’He’ll just love you,’’
Alice giggled a little, drool seeping out from her mouth. Melody laughed. A small knock at the door interrupted the two.
’’Mel..?’’
A low voice whispered.
’’Come on in Edward,’’
The door swung open, and Edward walked in. He smiled at the sight of the baby.
’’Isn’t she adorable,’’
Ed said calmly.
’’She looks just like her daddy,’’
Melody smiled and looked down at her baby.
’’Yeah…Where’s Winry?’’
Edward laughed a little.
’’She’s asleep in the hall,’’
Melody nodded sadly.
’’No word from Al…?’’
Edward shook his head.
’’No..’’
Melody tried her best to smile,
’’I’m sure he’s fine, Mel.’’
’’Yeah..I am too..’’
Edward and Melody turned to the door as a gentle knock was placed on it.
’’Yes?’’
There was a small nurse dressed in all white, except for her short dark hair and her auburn eyes.
’’There’s a call for you, sir.’’
Edward nodded.
’’Thank you.’’
The nurse nodded and left. Ed turned to Melody,
’’I’ll be right back, ok?’’
Melody nodded.
Ed turned and left down the hallway, down to the front desk.
’’Excuse me’’
Edward called to a young man behind the desk,
’’Someone said I had a call?’’
The man turned around, showing that half his face was covered by a white mask.
’’And you are?’’
He said.
’’I’m Edward Elric,’’
The man nodded and handed Ed the phone handle.
’’Here you go.’’
Edward placed the phone to his ear,’’Hello?’’
’’Edward?’& #8217;
’’Mustang?’’
’’Yes, it’s me,’’
‘‘what do you want?’’’’I have some bad news Edward..’’
There was a sad note in Roy’s voice, that made Edward worry,
‘‘what is it?’’
’’There was an explosion Ed.. One of the tanks boilers had given out, and it blew up…tearing apart many men near it…’’
’’So?’’
There was a sigh at the other end.
’’Edward…Alphonse was one of those men..’’
Edward nearly dropped dead then and there.
’’What..?…Your lying to me..’’
’’We found his body this afternoon…’’
Edward turned around noticing Winry there.
’’Who is it?’’
she said quietly,
’’Edward..Im so sorry, I really am..’’
Edward nodded, tears streaming down his cheeks,
’’O-okay..Tha-nk you..’’
He hung up the phone without another word. Winry looked at him puzzled.
’’Is everything alright?’’Edward shook his head.
’’What is it..?’’
Ed hugged her and began to sob onto her shoulder. Winry hugged him back, almost laughing.
’’Hey, calm down! What’s up with you?’’
Edward let go of her but continued to cry.
’’There was an explosion, one of the tanks boilers had given out.’’
Winry shook her head.
’’So?’’
’’Winry…I don’t think Al is coming home.’’
’’Wait till your daddy lays eyes on you,’’
Melody whispered softly.
’’He’ll just love you,’’
Alice giggled a little, drool seeping out from her mouth. Melody laughed. A small knock at the door interrupted the two.
