Just Believe Me

My Daughter

5 years later
"Mommy, mommy! Look at how high I am!" A black haired, golden eyed little girl yelled down to a short blonde.
"Amazing Winry!" Edward shouted back up to the girl. Just then another blonde appeared beside Ed, with a black and white dog following closely behind.
"Why'd you have to name her after me?!" Winry complained, "It makes everything so confusing!"
"It's a pretty name Win." Edward stated, "And there's really no girl version of Alphonse, I was not going to name her Edna like you wanted me to, and I was totally  not going even try to find a girl version of Roy. Win nodded and looked up to watch the shorter of the blondes' 4 year old daughter slide down a metal slide and into Ed's arms.
"You're so good at sliding! You wanna go again?"Winry shook her head grinning. "No? Well what do you wanna do?"
"Make me something with your alch- alche- alche- alchem-"
"Alchemy?" Ed suggested
"Yeah Alchemy! She grinned, "Will you make me something with it?
"Mm maybe."
"Huh?"
"If you say the special words, I might make you something."
Oh! Oh yeah! Mommy will you please make me something with your alchemy?"
"Of course sweetheart! What do you want?"
"I wanna-"
Win spotted a familiar face out of the corner of her eye, "Ed," she said, tension in her voice.
"Just a second sweetie, tell me more later," he said to his daughter before turning to Win, " What is it Win?"
"Roy's here." She said, and Ed stood up fast, and caught sight of the black haired man almost immediately. He picked up his daughter.
"Sweetie lets make that doll you want at home okay? We'll have more things to make it with there anyway." Winry nodded, "Alright then, lets go!" Ed picked up the young girl, and him, and Win started towards the mechanic's home. 

"Edward!" An all too familiar voice called out, it was an unwelcome voice too.

"Shi-oot." Ed remembered he had a child in his arms at the last minute and corrected himself. He and Win broke into a run. 

"Ed! Ed wait!" Edward didn't stop for the ravenette, and he and Win made it to the blonde mechanic's house without Roy catching up.

"Mommy," Winry started.

"Yes sweetheart?"

"Why'd we run so fast?"

"The quicker we got home the quicker we can make your doll! Go get the stuff you want to make the doll with now, yeah?"

"Yes Mama." Winry turned and left, in search of things to make her doll with. Edward sighed, and sunk down onto the sofa.

"Why is he here?" His voice wavered, "I can't do this again."

"Ed don't worry about it, he'll be gone soon, we just have to keep you out of sight for a little while. He'll be gone before you know it, okay?"

"You don't know Roy, he's determined. If he wants something, he'll find a way to get it no matter what." Winry went quiet.

"I won't let him get near you, you got that?"

"Yeah, thanks Win."

"Mommy! I got the stuff!" The little black haired girl, emerged from around the corner with an armful of things.

"Winry, are you sure you're gonna need all that stuff for a doll?" She shook her head and Ed sighed. His daughter put down the pile of stuff, and Ed went through it, sorting out what he'd need, and not need to make the doll. When he finished, he took the pile of things he needed, and put them in the middle of the living room.

"What do you want the doll to look like?" The little girl thought for a moment. Then her face brightened as she thought of her five year old genius idea.

"Me."

"Alrighty then, one Winry-doll coming right up!"

"Don't mess up my floor like you did last time, Ed"

"Yeah, yeah." Ed clapped his hands, and pressed them to the floor. The flash of blue, alchemical light filled the room, then died down. When the light was gone, there was a small black haired, pale skinned doll, dressed in a purple dress in the middle of the living room. Winry ran to pick it up, then ran back to her mother, giving him the biggest embrace she could muster.

"Thanks Mama." She said.

"You're welcome sweetheart. Go play now while I help Aunt Win make dinner, yeah?"

"Alright." Winry ran back to her room, and Ed turned to Win.

"She's such a good girl." Win said, setting a pot of water on the stove to boil.

"You bet she is." Edward grabbed a kitchen knife, and began to chop the vegetables for the stew.

Roy lost the blonde, at a three way intersection.
"Dammit," He growled, "I finally found him, and I loose him again. Why did he even run in the first place? Who was that little girl with him?" Roy had so many unanswered questions, and the only one who could answer them had run away from him. Roy called his team together. He knew Ed lived in this small sleepy town, now he just had to find where exactly did he live in the town.

"We know Ed's here," He told his team, "Now we just have to find him."

"Um boss?" Havoc interrupted, "Don't you think that, you know since he ran away from you, he might want to be left alone?"

"I have questions, that I want answers to, I just want the answers... And I want to see him again." Roy said the last part quieter then raised his voice to a normal volume again. "Starting tomorrow, we're going to split into groups to search for Ed. Havoc, and Breda, you two are together. Fuery, and Falman, you'll be together, and the lieutenant and I will be together. Does everyone understand"

"Yes Sir." They all said in unison.

"Good, now everyone go get some rest. We've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow."
