Epilogue

Five years…Five years fly by in a blink of an eye…

Unbelievable, how quickly life can just take a turn and BOOM weeks, months, or years have just

passed by right before your eyes.

One second he was sixteen, the next he was twenty-one, Teaching, as his teacher once taught him, the

basics and rules of Alchemy, its consequences , and of course self defense. He even took up an interest

in Automail Engineering, working alongside his wife in her family's Automail business. He had to work

double what she did though. She was pregnant with their third now. Couldn't have her straining herself

in her condition.

Their eldest, Alphonse, had fair skin like his mother, deep golden eyes like his father and dirty blonde

hair he most likely inherited from his uncle. His features were like that of his mother, and his smile was

as charming as his Father's. He was three years old now, but was as sweet as ever.

Their second child, Tarja, was her father's mirror image. With his skin tone, features, rich ember eyes,

and sandy blonde hair, one could never deny that this was indeed the famed Edward Elrics daughter.

The only trace of her mother in her was her spicy personality and straightforward curiosity. She was two.

Their third was unplanned unlike their first two and came as a surprise to the both of them, but a good

one. Edward was the most excited when his wife told him the surprise news. He hoped it was another girl.

Alphonse climbed into his bed obediently, yet huffing as he did so. "Not sleepy…" He complained.

Edward, one hand holding a sleeping Tarja on his shoulder, used the other to cover his son with the

warm sheets, "I know, Al, but if you go to sleep I'll take you somewhere special tomorrow." Alphonse's

eyes lit up, "Where, papa?"

Edward smiled and kissed his son's forehead, "It'll be a surprise, but you have to sleep first."

Alphonse nodded and snuggled under his sheets, "night papa."

"Goodnight, son. Love you."

"Love you too."

Edward walked over to another bed against the wall, and carefully laid Tarja down, covering her up

warmly, then softly kissed her cheek before turning to exit the room. Winry had been leaning against

the doorway the whole time, watching him as he tucked his children in with a fond smile on her face.

Edward approached her, placing a finger on his lips, signaling her to keep quiet as to not disturb the

sleeping kids. Carefully, he shut the door behind him, then led Winry back to their room, where he

sighed and fell back onto their bed with an exhausted sigh. Winry laughed and sat beside him, patting

his chest, "Lazy bastard." Edward chuckled and nudged her shoulder with his meal fist, "hey, come on

now…" He propped himself up on one elbow, leaning over to the large swell within which his child lay,

resting his forehead gently against it and running over it with his hand. He smiled when he felt a small

bump coming from the inside of Winry's belly. He laughed, "Our baby wants to come out."

"Well its got another two weeks ahead of it…it could come anytime between now and then."

"I hope its tomorrow."

"Excited are we?"

"you think?"

Edward sat up beside her and leaned in to kiss her softly, his hand still rested on her stomach. Winry

flinched, breaking their kiss for a moment while she regained herself. "Something wrong?" Edward

asked with concern in his voice. She shook her head, "nah…it just kicked a little too hard is all. I'm okay."

"You sure?"

"Yea."

"okay then…"

He helped her lay down, laying himself beside her when she was in a comfortable position, on her side.

She sighed contentedly, resting her head against her husband's chest as he pulled her as close as the

swell in between them would let him without causing its contents any harm. He rubbed her back,

strained from having to carry extra weight, and kissed the top of her head. She shut her eyes and smiled,

hugging him, somewhat, and lifting her head so that she could kiss him goodnight, "Goodnight, Ed. I love you."

He nuzzled her forehead, "I love you too, Baby."

No more tears…
