Epilogue: Distant

Hawkeye sat at the desk uncomfortably. This office in the East was smaller than the office at Central, and she was regretting coming here. Archer continued to give she and Mustang smug looks, antagonizing the Colonel whenever he could.

 

She expected that Archer had hired Lilly to take the photos.

 

The phone rang, and Hawkeye answered it. `This is a secretary's job...' she thought, annoyed.

 

“Hello?”

 

“Uh...it's Winry Rockbell, may I speak to...”

 

“Winry?” Hawkeye asked, surprised. The girl must be calling for Full Metal...damn it, he'd been caught up in Archer's games and left a few days ago. “It's Hawkeye.”

 

“Oh...why are you answering the phone? Wouldn't that be a secretary's job...?”

 

“Just don't ask,” Hawkeye replied, “Winry...are you alright?”

 

“I really need to talk to Ed, it's really important.”

 

Hawkeye winced again, predicting what the girl needed to talk about...Ed wasn't even here to talk to her. “He's not here right now,” Hawkeye said carefully, not mentioning that he was on a dangerous mission to Lior. “Can I pass a message on to him?”

 

“It's kinda private...” Winry sounded really upset and Hawkeye lowered her voice, trying to comfort her.

 

“I know, if that's what you're worried about,” Hawkeye said in the most comforting tone she could manage.

 

“Uh...tell him...can you...”

 

“Winry, tell me, it's alright.”

 

“Can you tell him I'm pregnant?”

 

Hawkeye winced. If that boy got himself killed, she was going to make sure he went to hell. “Yes,” Hawkeye said, “I'll tell him, don't worry about a thing. The colonel and Alphonse and I will keep him safe, you can be sure.”

 

Winry sighed and it seemed to cut Hawkeye. She was so sad. “Thanks,” Winry said, and then continued, “And tell him I love him.”

 

Hawkeye bit her lip. “I will,” she said, “Goodbye Winry.”

 

“Bye.”

Hawkeye put down the phone and looked up at Mustang, and then to Havoc and Fury. “Will you two please leave the room for a moment?”

Havoc raised his eyebrows but Hawkeye silenced him with a glare, “That phone call was very important and is only for the ears of the colonel.”

Fury immediately rose and walked out of the room and Havoc soon followed, grinning back at Mustang and giving him a thumbs up. Mustang didn't return the smile, but waited until the men were out of the room, then turned towards Hawkeye, “What is it Riza?”

“It's Hawkeye at work, Colonel,” she said stiffly.

“Is it about Full Metal?”

“Yes,” she mulled over what she should say, “Sort of.”

“Well, what is it?”

“Full Metal's too reckless to have the...ahem...new commitment he's got on the way.”

Roy put his head in his hands and groaned, “The girl...I knew she would be trouble.”

“So you thought that Winry would be pregnant?”

“After him going back and seeing her all the time, and them being so young and reckless...I was stupid to leave him alone. He wouldn't be in Lior right now if I'd have been more responsible and kept an eye on him.”

“There was nothing you could do about this, sir,” Riza said quietly, “Let's just hope he comes back from this unscathed.”

“Let's hope...” Roy scolded himself for letting Ed go. This was just too much.

The best thing in the boy's life, and Roy had allowed him to throw it away.

Author's Note: Yes, I know it's sad...I'm sorry! Also sorry I didn't update sooner...I was having writer's block. Anyway, don't worry because it will all be resolved in THE SEQUEL!! Here are responses to your reviews...no more to write...sorry...

 

tracyCoder: Roy and Riza can't stay apart, of course! They're meant to be together...but not in this fanfic. Just wait until THE SEQUEL, it's going to be awesome...and about the Fuhrer, he's just crazy in my opinion and does strange things all the time. He also likes Roy in my fanfiction, so that's just the way it is.

 

The Fluffy Queen: So I'm guessing that means you liked it...?

 

Inuyashas only Miko: I don't know if the haunting thing worked, otherwise I would've updated sooner...try harder next time and maybe it'll help me get past my writer's block! I think Havoc recovered in this chapter, you helped save him, you know! Also, seeing your screen name, I was wondering if you might read my Inuyasha fanfiction...it's InuxKag...so...just go read it pleeeeease!!

 

wolf00rakuen: I'll save Roy's relationship somehow...I will...or I'll try...it's just that Full Metal Alchemist is kind of a depressing anime and I keep on writing depressing fanfiction even though I try not to!!

 

C.A.M.E.O.1 and Only: Sorry...don't know what that means...

 

jec_ruthie_flying_high: It will continue! After I've seen the rest of the series...

 

shipposfoxfire: It seems as if I'm not capable of writing happy endings...

 

darklover: Yeah, THE SEQUEL's going to be awesome...sorry, I'm so excited about it that I use all caps every time I talk about it...haha...sorry, I had to blab for a minute there.

 

Teen Titans Terminator: At least I didn't say, the Fuhrer said, you can't even work together anymore mwahahaha...but that would kind of mess up the plot line of the show, so that was impossible...

 

WhiteWolfKyoko: I hope they figure something out too...I hope that I figure something to write to make it better...ah, I'm sure I'll think of something by the end of the series.

 

swimmer4life1390: I'm on your favorites list? YAY!!!!! I like being on favorites, it makes me feel so loved and makes me write more...that means you should keep reading and reviewing hehe...thanks for your reviews, hope you liked the last chapter!

 

Now review and you'd better not tell me what happens at the end of the series...if you do I won't write THE SEQUEL for a long time...
