You stood in the doctors office, face in awe as your doctor told you your results. Pregnant, huh? You didn't know whether to be happy or scared shitless. You and your boyfriend had never talked about having kids, so did he actually want them? Your mind runs through all of the different scenarios. You could do this. You reassured yourself.
When you arrive home, you start to prepare dinner, after all, when your state alchemist boyfriend got home he was usually ravenous, you didn't blame him, though, it was a very demanding job. You hear the front door of the apartment creak open, and some shuffling. Your boyfriend wraps his strong arms around your waist, his automail arm cold as ice, causing you to shudder, it made his other arm feel like a heater. He leans over to kiss your temple and greets you.
"Hey sweetheart." He says quietly, his usually feisty demeanor out of sight.
"Hey Ed." You hum, swaying back and fourth in his arms.
When you're done making dinner, you set the stew on the table, thinking about how you'd tell your husband. You knit your eyebrows and your lips press into a thin line. You must've been radiating different energy than usual because Edward turned to you, his eyes filled with concern.
"You okay beautiful?" He asks lovingly.
"I'm okay, just...thinking." You sigh.
"Bout' what?" He raises an eyebrow, tilting his head before he blows a lock of golden hair out of his eyes.
"How do you feel about...kids? We've never talked about having a family or marriage or anything before." You ask him, looking into his golden eyes.
"I don't think I'd be ready now, but if it were to happen now I would stick by you throughout every choice you make. And I'd love the kiddo no matter what, because its a part of me and a part you." He says softly, in almost a whisper.
"Can I tell you something?" You twiddle your thumbs nervously.
"Of course you can, sweet girl." He smiles softly.
"Promise you won't be mad?" You ask for reassurance.
"I would never get mad at you. You've made me extra soft." He walks over and kisses your forehead.
"I-I'm...pregnant, Ed. I'm sorry." Your eyes start to tear up as you expect the worst.
You look up at your boyfriend whos staring down at you, his face blank. A soft smile spreads across his face as he hugs you close to his chest and starts to run his fingers through your (h/c) hair.
"Why would I be mad about that? Silly goose." You can hear the shakiness of his voice, him still hugging you close. You feel tears hit your scalp as his grips
He continues, "This is great news, (y/n). I love you so damn much angel."
You two snuggle it out that night, basking in one anothers presence, celebrating the life you had created together. You were so relieved Ed took it the way he did.
Morning sickness hits you like a ton of bricks every single day. You could NOT eat anything without throwing up. You found yourself throwing up for the third time this morning, all of the contents of last nights dinner hitting the porclain bowl. You feel a strong arm tug your hair behind your head, rubbing small circles on the middle of your back.
"You alright sweetheart?" Ed mumbles.
"I'm okay, now that you're here." You smile at him, wiping your mouth and getting up to rinse the acidic taste out with water.
Next thing you know, you're swept off your feet, your boyfriend leading you out the door bridal style.
"Where are we going?" You ask him.
"You'll see." He chuckles.
He leads you to an ice cream shop, a variety of different flavors and colors to choose from. You look at him, and your eyes go wide in excitement. Ed knew you had been craving ice cream lately, as it was the only thing you could stomach with your morning sickness. Ice cream was not always easily accessible for you, as it was considered a luxury.
"If I wasn't sure I would not have taken you here." He chuckled. He thought it was adorable, how your pregnancy hormones made your emotions increase by tenfold. You asked a lot of questions, but he liked it.
When you choose, you ultimately decide on chocolate, Ed picking strawberry.
You guys are enjoying your ice cream when Edward pauses for a moment and reaches a hand into the pocket of his worn out red jacket. You stop and look at him, cocking your head to the side, curious as to what he was doing. He takes a velvety white box out of his pocket. Getting on one knee, he opens the box to reveal a rough looking steel ring with a red ruby in the very center.
"Will you marry me? Sorry its not luxurious, it was my first time trying to use alchemy to make something like this and-" You cut him off.
"OF COURSE, YA BIG DUMMY!"
Edward slips the ring on your finger, and you run your finger over the rough, imperfect steel. Even if it was flawed, it was perfect in your eyes. Your boyfriend had gone out of his way to do something special for you. You felt like the absolute luckiest woman on earth.
Now entering your second trimester, your morning sickness has subsided and you are now hungry as ever. Edward has taken over cooking, cleaning, and errands on top of his job as a state alchemist. You are even starting to show slightly.
You're standing in front of the mirror, lifting up your shirt ever so slightly, running your hand over the small curve of your stomach. Edward walks in, his face in awe as he wraps his arms around you, placing both hands on your bump. His automail thumb rubbing circles over your navel. You shudder.
"You're glowing, sweetheart." He whispers into your ear, his words dancing around in your head.
"I love you, Ed." You tilt your head back and murmur against his neck.
You and the Elric brother are cuddling on your bed together, admiring the life you had growing inside of you and you feel a sudden tap against your belly. Edwards eyes widen as he asks;
"I think so..." *You can't help but smile.*
"Baby's first kicks." He smiles at you, moving his hand to stroke your face, you happily lean into it as you look at him.
"You know- I feel like the luckiest man in the world right now." Edward smiles, tears brimming his lower eyelids. "I feel like I have the entire world. I have a beautiful fiancé, soon to be my wife, I have a beautiful baby on the way, and life is so blissful. I never thought in a million years I'd be deserving enough to have such a life."
"Of course you deserve it." You kiss him.
You smooth your hands over your stomach, looking into the mirror, your lips pressed into a thin line, you look as if you were on the verge of tears. Your wedding dress did not fit over your 26 week baby bump like you would prefer for it to.
"Do I look chubby to you, mom?" You look over to your mother, who is sitting behind you.
"Of course not sweetie, you're pregnant." She smiles at you.
"What if I'm not pretty enough?" You look at yourself, a saddened expression on your face.
"You are, and you will always be." She smiles at you.
"Now lets get you out to that altar sweetie."
The doors open, and your arm is linked with your father's, you can see the tears streaming down his face, as he is thinking about his little girl growing up too fast. You wonder if thats how you'll feel when you have your baby.
You walk down the aisle, "Here Comes the Bride" playing on the pipe organ across the room. You take careful, dainty, steps, your sparkly wedding dress flowing behind you and your viel limiting your vision. You look at Edward, and he's dressed in a red tuxedo, smiling at you
When you make it to the altar, You face Edward, you can tell he's struggling to hold back tears. The wedding officiant clears his throat,
"Today, we are here to celebrate (y/n) (l/n) and Edward Elric, as they begin a new chapter in their lives." He pauses, looking at both of us before continuing,
"Edward, repeat carefully after me. I Edward, take you y/n, to be my wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, excluding all others, as long as we both shall live. With God as my witness, I give you my pledge." He says, smiling at Edward.
"I Edward, take you y/n, to be my wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, excluding all others, as long as we both shall live. With God as my witness, I give you my pledge." He says softly, tears threatening to spill from his eyes.
"(y/n) , repeat after me. I (y/n) take you Edward, to be my husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, excluding all others, as long as we both shall live. With God as my witness, I give you my pledge." The officiant turns towards you.
"I (y/n) take you Edward, to be my husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, excluding all others, as long as we both shall live. With God as my witness, I give you my pledge." You say, looking up at Edward with a loving smile.
"You may now kiss the bride." The officiant gives you the cue to kiss.
You exchange rings before quickly facing one another again. Edward lifts up your viel, cups your face, and gives you the most passionate and most desperate kiss he had ever given you before. The tears that were threatening before now falling down.
"I love you sweetheart." He whispers.
Everyone is clapping and cheering when suddenly, Roy Mustang decides to yell,
"Congrats lil pipsqueak'! You're a real man now."
Edwards eye twitched, he wanted to yell at the man but refrained from doing so. For you.
Now officially in your third trimester, the former hungriness you had dealt with in your previous trimester was gone, nausea taking vengance along with heartburn.
You lay in bed, reading a book. You had basically been bedridden in these last few weeks of pregnancy. You were ready to get this baby OUT. Your husband brings you a plate of food, filling the empty space next to you.
"How are my two favorite people?" Ed smiles, rubbing patterns on the swell of your belly.
"Not having fun. This baby needs its eviction notice already." You sigh, picking through and seperating the food you dislike.
"At least you're close, 3 weeks left, eh?" Ed nudges your shoulder playfully.
"Its not not funny Ed!" You hissed.
Ed winces as he looks at you. On top of the nausea and heartburn, hormones have also been making you lash out more. But its okay, Ed knew you were probably exhaused from carrying a whole other life.
"I'm sorry..." You whisper as you realize you were a bit mean.
"Hey, its okay. I forgive you." Edward runs his hand through your (h/c) hair.
You start to sob, apologizing on behalf of your hormones. And Edward is cooing and stroking your hair.
"Its okay. You're doing such an amazing job, I am so proud of you."
Exactly three weeks later, when sleeping, you feel a sudden rush if water between your legs.
"Pee...?" You say, a little shocked and disgusted. Then it dawned upon you that your water probably broke.
"Ed?" You attempt to shake your husband awake.
"Yes honey?" His voice sounds raspy and tired, he rubs an eye, stretches, and yawns.
"I think my water-" You don't even have to finish the scentence and he's rushing to the phone to call the midwife.
When the midwife arrives to your house, she has you lay in the center of the bed. Every contraction felt like hell and served as a reminder that your little one would be born soon.
After 8 hours of laboring contractions, its finally time to push your baby out. You stare at your husband in fear, and he clasps onto your hand. He starts to stroke your hand,
"Its going to be okay, I'm right here baby. Breathe. We will get to meet our baby soon. " He coos.
Around an hour and a half later, sweet cries fill the room. You're drenched in sweat and in so much pain. But it was worth it.
"Congratulations, Mr and Mrs. Elric. You have a beautiful and healthy baby girl!" The midwife says as she lowers the baby girl onto your chest for skin to skin contact.
She's beautiful, she has golden hair, and mesmerizing (h/c) eyes, she has a cute little button nose too.
"A girl..." Edward whispers as he stares at the baby resting your chest, tears dripping down his face.
"What do you wanna name her?" You smile at him, cooing at the baby who would inevitably have you and Ed wrapped around her finger for the rest of her life.
"Nina is perfect..." He softly strokes the baby's cheek.
I wake up in the middle of the night to someone shaking me awake, and I glance over to see y/n frantically trying to get my attention.
"Ed?" She asks anxiously.
"Yes honey?" I respond sleepily, trying to wake myself up.
"I think my water-" Crap. I rush to the phone, dialing the midwife's number.
"Is this the midwife? Hi, this is Edward Elric, my wife is in labor, can we get someone here ASAP?" I ask over the phone.
The midwife arrives fast as she prepares everything for (y/n)'s labor. The midwife helps (y/n) into the middle of the bed before motioning for me to hold her hand. I do so quickly and promptly, as she holds on to me like her life depended on it.
After 8 hours of being in labor (y/n) is still having contractions. They're getting more frequent now. So thats a goos sign that she's close to giving birth. God, I hate seeing her in pain. She looks up at me, panting, and in fear. I hold her hand tighter, and then reach over to stroke her hair.
"Its going to be okay, I'm right here baby. Breathe. We will get to meet our baby soon. " I say in a comforting tone.
Hours later, feminine cries fill the air. I glance over to the midwife, whos holding a baby. I look at (y/n) whos still panting and covered in sweat.
"Congratulations, Mr and Mrs. Elric. You have a beautiful and healthy baby girl!" The midwife says as she lowers the baby onto (y/n)'s chest for skin to skin contact.
Thats mine? I think to myself, taking in the baby girl's features. She has my golden hair. and (y/n)'s captivating (e/c) eyes. Even though she's only a few minutes old, I can already tell shes going to have (y/n)'s features.
"A girl..." I whisper, my voice laced with awe. A little girl. What am I going to do? I start to tear up.
"What do you want to name her?" (y/n) asks, cooing at the baby girl. I've thought about naming her after someone who tragically lost their life years ago. Nina. I think to myself. I'd give her the life she hadn't gotten to have, through my little girl.
"Nina is perfect..." I say, softly stroking my baby girls rosy, soft and velvety cheek. She's finally here.
Years later, Nina was turning 3 today. Edward had gotten his arm back by now, and Alphonse, his body back.
"Nina, daddys home!" Edward yells while opening the front door, several wrapped presents in hand.
"Dada!" The toddler gets off your lap and runs toward her father, hugging his leg.
The 21 year old man puts down his presents to pick up your daughter you shared together, and twirls her around.
"How's my little girls special day?" He says, kissing her temple.
"Is good! Mommy let me help her knit a pair of socks for the new baby." She says excitedly.
"Thats so amazing sweetheart, you're the most talented girl I know." He coos at her.
You smile, holding up a pair of beige socks. Edward walks over to you, daughter in his arms as he leans over to kiss your lips. He places a hand on your belly, rubbing gentle circles on it.
"And how are my wife and my other little one?" He asks you.
"We're good, now that the man of the house is here." You smile.
When its time for Nina to open her presents, Alphonse, May, Roy, Riza, and Winry all came to visit. Nina opens the first gift to reveal a tiny jacket, identical to Edward's. She looks up to her father and says,
"Thank you daddy!" She puts it on, smiling.
"Of course sweetheart, now ya don't gotta steal mine all of the time." Ed chuckles.
"Awwwe, she looks just like you, Ed." Alphonse says, smiling.
"Nah, she's a carbon copy of her mama, just with my blonde hair." Ed smiles down at his daughter.
"She does have your eye shape I think." You chime in.
"I don't really see it. She looks a lot more like (y/n) than shorty." May says, Shao May nodding in agreement on her shouler. Making Edward roll his eyes.
"I'm taller than Alphonse now, and you don't have any room to talk. Tiny." Edward says as they shoot irritated glares at one another.
"Maybe the new baby will look more like you, Ed. How far along are you (y/n)?" Winry asks.
"Around five months I'd say." Your hand goes down to stroke your belly.
"Wow, thats pretty far along. Feels like yesterday you told us." Riza says, hand behind her head.
"Congratulations again, you two. I'm proud of how far you two have come along." Roy smiles.
After the party was done and everyone had left, you and Ed clean up the mess. You put away the cut cake and sweeping up the rainbow streamers. Edward kneels down to pick up your daughter, who is sleeping on the floor, exhaused after playing with her new toys.
You walk with Ed to your Nina's room, thats filled with pink and purple. Edward sets your daughter into her bed, tucking her in carefully to make sure she doesn't wake up. You kneel down to stroke her hair softly and leave a kiss on her head. You get up and Edward kisses her head second, smiling down at his little one.
"I love you, little rascal." He whispers.
How blessed were you two, to have this life?
