Chapter 8
Gracia sat with Hawkeye at her home, she watched at the usually calm military woman was pacing up and down the hallway. She knew what the woman was debating. Should she tell Ed, and if she was going to where would she be able to find him? Or should she just wait until he returns to her? It was something that only Hawkeye could decide but Gracia hoped that she would take some advice and tell Ed. Maybe this would bring him home sooner.
Sighing, Gracia went over to Hawkeye and grabbed her shoulders to stop her. “Please try to calm down, Hawkeye,” she said, looking at her in the eyes. “It’s not good to be stressed while you are pregnant so early.”
“What am I going to do?” Hawkeye asked, allowing Gracia to take her to the couch to sit. She was absently rubbing her stomach. “I can’t do this alone.”
Gracia held her, quietly, stroking her hair. “Don’t worry, Hawkeye, I will be right here and when we can get word to Ed he will be back here by your side.”
“No,” Riza said, shaking her head. “We can’t tell him, he’ll want to come back without completing his mission.”
“But?”
“Trust me,” she stated, “I’ll tell him when I am ready.”
Gracia nodded, thinking that it was best for Riza to do things her way. Though she thought, Ed had the right to know what was going on here in Central. So that night, without Riza’s permission, she sent a message to the command center in East. The messaged relayed that he was to return to Central no more than nine months from now. That was all she wrote, nothing about why he had to return but she figured that maybe he was smart enough to figure out why all by himself.

“General Mustang!” Havoc yelled, barging into the man’s office. “We’ve just received word that East’s command center has been destroyed.”
Mustang looked up from his desk. “What?”
“A group of military reinforcements that had been called out before found the command center destroyed,” Havoc explained, reading the report. “Apparently, beneath the rubble they found the body of Colonel June, Fullmetal Edward, and an unknown alchemist.”
“Fullmetal? Is he alive?” Mustang questioned, his thoughts automatically going to how he would tell Riza if he wasn’t; although he hoped that Ed was alive.
“The report confirms that the Fullmetal alchemist and the unknown alchemist survived the destruction,” the second lieutenant continued. “They are reported to be in the local hospital where, the unknown alchemist is under watch. Their conditions weren’t mentioned, sir, but we do know that Colonel June was dead when they found him. So our hopes for boss are good.”
Mustang sighed. He was glad that the brat was alive but what would he say to Riza if she asked where he was. Or should he not tell her anything about what was going on in East.
“I’m going to East,” the general said, “Have Hughes take command here until I return.”
“What should I report to the lieutenant, sir?”
“Nothing, if she asks for anything, tell her that there hasn’t been any information coming in from the East command center,” he replied, standing from his desk and leaving.
***
Ed screamed as the men at the hospital pulled pieces of stone and metal from his left arm. He wanted to be able to endure the pain but it was too much. His thoughts of peace were interrupted with every sharp pull at the pieces of stone or metal. Why had he done that? The voice in the back of his head yelled at him that it was a bad idea but he chose to ignore that voice. He should’ve listened to that voice that sounded so much like Riza yelling at him whenever he made a stupid decision. Now he was paying for that mistake, though he was lucky that he was going to be able to keep his left arm this time.
“Please, sir, you are going to have to lie still,” the nurse said as she tried to restrain him. “We won’t be able to get all the pieces out if you don’t.”
Through gritted teeth, Ed said, “you try lying still when someone’s pulling things from your arm!”
At this response the nurse had assistance from four other nurses just to hold him down so they could finish removing all of the pieces. His screams ripped through the halls, alerting everyone who heard him. It took the nurses a good portion of the day to remove every piece from his body. Once they were done pulling them out, they were sighing sighs of relief when he fell asleep.
Ed slept for most of the next two days, leaving everyone in the hospital in peace for that period of time. When he woke, he woke to a surprise he wasn’t expecting to get. In his room stood General Roy Mustang, the one person he didn’t want to see at that moment. Groaning he tried to turn so he didn’t have to face the man but the pain in his arms and legs was too much to bear.
“Now, Fullmetal, I expected a better greeting than that,” the general said, grinning slightly.
“You try waking up to the face of a man who sent you to a place where death is an inch away from your face at every turn,” Ed replied, glaring at him.
“That’s everywhere I go, Fullmetal,” Mustang said, taking a seat by the bed. “When you’re in the military there is always the possibility of death at every turn. It’s one of those risks that you have to be willing to take and you take them every day.”
Ed sighed, turning to look out the window. “What do you want?”
“I came to escort the extra personal that you are going to need to rebuild the command center and get rid of your enemies here,” he replied, following Ed’s gaze out the window at the afternoon sky. “I’ve receive word that Colonel June is dead and there is an unknown alchemist that you fought.”
“Yeah and nearly got myself killed in the process,” he yelled, not even startling Mustang a bit. “What do you have to say about that?”
“Whatever you do, Fullmetal, you are not allowed to die here,” Mustang said, his voice now rough and demanding. “If not for your own sake, think of the people who are waiting for you. Don’t do anything reckless like this again, I don’t want to have to explain your death a certain someone.”
For a moment, Ed stared back at Mustang, not saying anything. He really didn’t know what to say to the man’s last statement. Of course he wasn’t going to die here, Riza was waiting for him. But why would Mustang be all serious and demanding about something I already knew?
“General, what’s going on with Riza?” Ed asked, worried. “Tell me what’s wrong?”
“Edward,” the general started, startling Ed with the use of his first name. “I cannot tell you exactly what is going on, I’ve been sworn to secrecy. Though, I will tell you that if you die, I will personally bring you back to life to kill you again.”
“I don’t understand you, Mustang,” Ed said, shaking his head. “First you tell me that I cannot die, then you tell me that you don’t want to explain my death should I die. Now you are saying that if I die once you’ll kill me again?”
“Just promise me that you will come back alive.”
“Mustang, I’ll return but I have to finish what I am doing here,” Ed explained, smirking. “Not really sure how I can when I am stuck in here, though.”
“Don’t worry about it, the men I’ve brought are keeping the enemy back now,” Mustang stated before standing. “Considering the death of Colonel June and the fact that there is no one else available at the moment to command here, you will take full command of the troops for the next three months until Lieutenant Colonel Lionel is ready for to take over.”
“WHAT? You cannot be serious?”
“They await your next command, Fullmetal,” Mustang said with a grin as he turned to leave.
“Wait, General,” Ed called out when Mustang reached the door. “Tell Riza that I will be back.”
Mustang nodded then left.
Ed lay in the bed, staring at the door. He still couldn’t believe that Mustang had put him in command of the men in East. Never before had he been in charge of a large group of people, how did Mustang know if he was capable or not. Sighing, he guessed that the general knew what he was doing but Ed hoped that he was actually capable of doing this.
A week later, Ed was released from the hospital in the best condition he ever felt. It was like he was renewed, the feeling of having to command all those men was scary at first but now he couldn’t wait. He was going to get rid of the enemy much faster now that he could command the others instead of waiting for an order. The new command center was at the hotel where he was staying until they finished rebuilding the last one.
“Sir,” a man said as Ed entered, startling him at first. “What are you orders?”
“First, I want to know where the entire enemy is located,” he said with the man following him as he made his way down the hall to the large conference room. “I want to crush them quickly.”
“Yes, of course, sir,” the man replied, “we currently have a spy within their group but he hasn’t been able to send us any messages about what he has dug up.”
“Find him,” Ed said, opening the door and finding Havoc, Fury and Breda sitting in the room waiting. “What are you guys doing here?”
“General Mustang told us that you needed some help,” Breda said, watching Ed’s amazed face.
“Plus we don’t want Riza killing us if the fath—mph.” Fury and Breda clapped their hands over Havoc’s mouth to keep him from talking.
Ed raised his eyebrow, taking a seat at the end of the table. He watched at the three men were whispering to one another.
“You idiot, Havoc,” Breda whispered, “You almost let it slip.”
“Hawkeye would kill us for sure if he found out now,” Fury said, angrily. “You know what she told us when Mustang sent us out here.”
Flashback
“You three are not to tell him anything,” Riza said in a scolding manner. “As far as he is concerned right now, I am just worried about his safety, got it? You tell him I am pregnant and all three of you will die.”
End
The three shuddered at the thought of dying by Riza’s hands.
“So what is our plan of attack?” Havoc said in hope that it would take Ed’s mind away from the last thing he almost said.
To be continued….
A/N: okay not the best chapter but I am at a loss on how to go about getting Ed to defeat the guys and get home in the nick of time to see Riza have her baby. Hmm well I will figure it out somehow. Review please my loyal readers!
