Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ Her Knight In Shining Armor ❯ Holidays and Honeymoons ( Chapter 33 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

I do not own the characters Ed, Al, Winry or the basis for their past history. They belong to the creators of Full Metal Alchemist. I also don't own any of the fairytales mentioned. I don't own much of anything…

Warning: There will be some references made to the show. It won't give away anything about the ending… I don't think… Anyway there will be threats of rape and murder. Not too vivid though.

There will also be spelling mistakes due to where Lorna originates from. I allowed some spelling error because it's words she would use. And I don't want any flames on it. I'm from where she's from so I just had her speak the way I do!

Chapter Thirty Three: Holidays and Honeymoons

The weeks passed by. Gradually my strength returned. I was able to stand and eventually walk again. The world outside passed by without my realizing it. Edward actually hit a growth spurt. Now he stood as tall has his little brother. The leaves changed outside and soon it was Thanksgiving again.

“I would like to purpose a toast, to life!” Ed held up his champagne glass full of punch.

“Here here!” We all cheered raising our own glasses.

“And now.” Edward continued, “To my future bride.”

Al and I paused. Winry blushed then held out the engagement ring.

“Congratulations.” I said, holding my glass up to Ed's.

“Yes.” Al raised his glass too.

We sipped at the glasses before he asked, “Brother, when's the date?”

Edward looked to his fiancé. “We were hoping to have it a week before Christmas.”

I smiled, “That'll be lovely.”

The wedding was held at a small church in town. Alphonse was his brother's best man. I was a bride's maid. Several of the little girls in town got to be flower girls, including Liza. Her brother, William carried the rings with pride.

It turned out to be a lovely wedding. At the reception afterward one of the young girls from town caught the bouquet. She blushed looking at her boyfriend. A week later he proposed.

They went away on a honeymoon in the metropolis. What should have been time alone turned into another shopping spree. Most of the items were delivered before they came home.

“What is all this stuff?” Al asked, opening one of the boxes.

I shook my head, “Don't ask me. They're coming home tomorrow, ya can ask her then.”

“Do you think they'll like the room?” Al had been using alchemy to rearrange the walls upstairs. Now the room he shared with his brother connected to the study making one long bedroom.

I laughed “If they don't Edward can fix it himself.”

Al wrapped his arms around me. “You don't mind sharing a bathroom.”

A smile crossed my face, “I'm just glad you need one now.”

We both began laughing. Tears rolled down my red cheeks and my sides began to hurt.

“It's not that funny.” Al managed, but kept laughing.

We had put up the Christmas tree before the love birds left. Now it stood in the corner with gifts under it. I lay on the couch looking at the decorations. Duchess was lying on my stomach and Al was cooking.

Since he was able to eat he tried all sorts of recipes. Some weren't worth the paper they were printed on. Others were simply sinful.

I stroked the cat as he came in. “Try this.”

He held out a piece of cake on a fork. I opened my mouth and let him feed it to me.

“Hmm…” It was one of the ones that could be addictive.

“Like?” He moved my head to sit down.

I lay my head in his lap. “Like.” My hand reached up to stroke his face. I couldn't get enough of his warmth.

“I thought I'd make it for tomorrow.” He mentioned moving his hand to my face.

We sat there, my hand on his cheek and his hand on mine. Duchess didn't appreciate being left out. “MEOW!” She bellowed.

Al laughed and moved to pet her. I could feel her purring against my stomach. Then without warning she leaped down and strolled off. Al's hand rested on my shirt.

“She's mad at you.” I told him. “She's letting ya know she can ignore you too.”

He smiled. “Will you?”

“Ignore you?” I questioned.

Al nodded.

“How could I?” My voice was light, “You're my everything.”

His hand brought mine to his lips and he kissed it gently. “As you are mine.” He murmured.

We heard the door bang open. “Little help!” It was Edward.

I got up and ran to the door. He had Winry in his arms but Duchess was refusing to remove out of the way.

“Shoo!” I forced her to move.

Al walked in behind me as his brother carried his new bride across the threshold.

When he sat her down she hugged my neck. “Lorna! Oh it was wonderful!”

“You know,” I mentioned, hugging her back, “that honeymoons ain't meant to be shopping trips.”

She blushed, “There were so many stores. Did any of the stuff arrive?”

I nodded and Al laughed aloud. Edward had a happy but wary look on his face. He knew the tools would already be here.

“I thought you were coming back tomorrow brother.” Alphonse moved to help with the luggage.

“Well, we didn't want to miss Christmas morning with the family.” Ed's voice was full of happiness. “We'll put this stuff in Winry's room. We decided that would be best, then I'd be the only one who's have to move.”

I glanced to Al who tried not to smile. He found it hard to suppress the little facial expressions.

“What?” Winry asked me.

“Well…” I started, leading her upstairs. The brothers followed with the baggage. “We made a few changes.”

I pointed to the door that was even with the wall to the right of the stairs.

She paused a moment before opening it. Ed followed still holding a few bags in his hands. They looked around in wonderment.

Al and I had turned his and Ed's small beds into a queen-size and moved it to the far corner. To the right of the door was the furniture from Ed's study. We'd moved the closet to the wall that was adjacent to mine. The room was freshly painted and all the furniture looked like knew. Winry's dresser had also been moved in and stood next to one wall while Ed's had been moved to her old room for Al.

“It's lovely.” She breathed turning around.

Ed put a hand on his little brother's shoulder, “Thank you.”

I smiled as Al hugged his brother tightly. Being able to feel his older sibling meant so much to him. They had gone so long, not able to hug or feel each other. Now I noticed they would often hug just because they were finally able to.

Winry moved next to me. “Aren't they wonderful?” She had been watching them too.

I nodded as the two parted. There was a tear in Ed's eye. “Well, let's get the rest of the stuff.”
