CHAPTER 9
   “Listen, I’m sorry about all this. I feel that I’ve made a pompous ass out of myself, and you didn’t deserve any of the treatment I spewed out at you.” I apologized to Hawkeye and offered my hand in a handshake.

   She waved it away, “Just tell me what happened, Roy. I heard what happened at Lab 5 last time, and it didn’t sound promising. Will Fullmetal, err, Edward be all right?”

   I sighed at looked at the ICU sign next to the double doors Edward was wheeled into almost 2 hours ago.

   I rubbed the back of my neck, “Right now, I really don’t know.” Tears were welling up in my eyes.

   She gave me a sympathetic look and offered a handkerchief. “I know it’s not much, but here. Get cleaned up.”

   I took it and sat down in one of the chairs. “This kills me, Riza. He’s everything to me, and now he’s hanging by a thread and there’s nothing I can do!” I beat my fists on my knee.

   “Stop that, Roy. You need to be strong right now, if not for you, then for him. How do you think Edward would feel if he saw you like this, especially over him?”

   I sighed. She was right. “Riza, what should I do?”

   She looked around the waiting area, “How about grabbing some coffee?” She walked over the one of the vending machines.

   I let my head fall back over the chair and I stared at the ceiling. ‘Damn that Envy. I’m going to kill that son of a bitch as soon as I can get my hands on him.’ I clenched my fist.

   “Your coffee, Sir.” Riza handed it to me with a smile.

   “Thanks.” I grabbed it and sipped gingerly.

   I tapped my foot and sipped my coffee alternatively. “How are things in Central?”

   She smirked, “Now is hardly the time to think about Central, but everything is all right. Things get accomplished more quickly now that you’re post has moved. We do miss you though.” She shifted in her seat.

   “How’s Black Hayate? He must be lonely without mommy there tonight.” I mused.

   “Furey is watching him, so he’s all right. They play until Furey falls asleep, usually.” She replied.

   “Roy Mustang?” A nurse said from the desk.

   I shot up and rushed over to her, “Yes? Is it Edward?”

   She replied, “Yes, it’s his condition. The doctor has given him a grim prognosis. Even with the advanced treatments, the doctor says it will be a miracle if Edward makes it through the night. I’m so sorry.”

   I stood there numbly. I didn’t want to believe what she had just told me, but I couldn’t get it out of my mind. My feet were like cement blocks, and my lungs would barely expand. I felt so cold, and suddenly there was a rush of doctors and nurses through the double doors.

   The nurse stood and said, “They are going to Edward’s room. I have to go with them!” She stood and rushed through the doors.

   Riza rushed up behind me and held me back. I fell to the floor in sobs and began beating the tiles.

   The entrance doors opened and Winry rushed through, “Roy! Roy, what’s going on? Where is Ed!?!” She screamed at me.

   Riza took over, “Winry, calm down, he’s in the ICU and a small group of medical personnel ran through the doors. Roy is just on the edge; I’m sure Edward will be fine.”

   Al walked through the doors, “Let’s sit down Winry, it’s the only thing we can do.” He was crying.

   Riza helped me to my feet and placed me in a chair next to Alphonse.

   She looked at Winry and said, “I’m going to the bathroom, and whatever you do, don’t let Roy out of your sight. There’s no telling what he might try to pull.”

   She stood and walked to the restroom.

   Winry grabbed Al’s hand, “Al, I’m so scared.”

   Al clutched her hand, “Me too. Ed and I have never been apart, and now I might lose him forever.” He began sobbing again.

   I stood and walked over to the doors, but Winry grabbed my arm, “No, Roy. We can’t go back there.”

   I shook her off, but as soon as I pushed the right door open, the nurse from earlier came through.

   “Don’t worry, Roy, it was a false alarm. An intern tripped on the wire to his life support. Fortunately, it only unplugged the power, so the machine switched to battery power. When the battery get a little low, the monitor sends a flat line alert.”

   I was somewhat confused, “Why is an intern back in such a sensitive area!?!”

   She backed away a step, “She was checking the charts. It’s all right.”

   Edward’s doctor came through the doors, “Ahh, you must be Roy. I just checked Edward, and I’ll tell you, he has improved tenfold. You’ll be able to walk back and see him after the head nurse has changed his I.V.” He walked behind the desk.

   I turned to Winry and Al, who had heard the good news as well.

   Riza walked out of the bathroom, “Have they said anything about Ed?” She looked at Winry.

   Al said, “Yes! They said we’ll be able to see him after they change his I.V.”

   She smiled, “See? I told you he would be all right.”

   Winry smiled.

   The nurse came up to me and said, “You and the couple may go, but the blonde woman must stay here. I can only allow three at a time.”

   Riza nodded and sat in a chair.

   I followed the nurse eagerly to Ed’s room, but my heart dropped when I saw him.

   He was in a large bed with 13 needles in his arms. I know Ed hates needles. His heart monitor was beeping weakly, and three I.V. bags were hanging from a tall metal carrier. I gasped and walked over to his side.

   The nurse said, “You may stay here as long as you like. It’s okay to touch his face, and if you need me or anyone else for help, there is a red button on his bedside you can press.” She walked out of the room.

   Winry came over next to me and touched his cheek. “Oh, Al, he’s so cold.”

   Al’s eyes welled up with tears, “The doctor said he would be fine. I know he’ll pull through.” He sat in the chair on the other side of Edward.

   I sat down in the metal folding chair next to me. I took my hand and stroked his cheek. It really was cold. My hand quivered, but I decided to leave it there in order to share warmth.

   “Al, if you and Winry want to go home, I’ll stay here with Edward until he wakes up.” I offered.

   Al replied, “I’m staying, but Winry, I want you to go home.”

   Winry said, “Al, no, I want to stay here with Edward and you.”

   “Winry, I want you to go home. You don’t need to be here because of the stress.”

   She replied, “Al, the baby isn’t far enough along to worry about! I’m staying here with you.”

   “I believe you should go to Granny’s and tell her. She’ll definitely want to know about Edward.”

   She didn’t have a comment for that. She grabbed her coat and left the room after kissing Edward on his cheek.

   “Al, I know it looks bad, but Edward has been through a lot worse. Remember when-”

   Alphonse cut me off, “I know, Roy, but I don’t want her here just in case something does go wrong.”

   I nodded.

   I felt Edward’s cheek twitch. I looked at him, “Ed?”

   Al moved closer, “Edward?”

   I felt his cheek twitch again.

   “Ed? Can you hear me? It’s Roy.”

   Al touched his other cheek, “I’m here too, Ed. Your little brother, Al.”

   Edward’s eyes fluttered open.
