Alphonse was standing outside the door when he heard Winry and Edward confessing their love for each other. He sank to his knees. It was as if his heart had been ripped into small, microscopic pieces. He was in emotional pain and eventually froze up, hitting the floor. He was falling into shock.

"E-Ed..." Al whispered in a dry tone. He blacked out just as Ed left his room.

Al woke up in a hospital bed. Ed was looking over him and smiled.

"Thank God. You were shaking on the floor. Your eyes were rolling to the back of your head as well. I thought you were having a seizure." he said. Al looked at him.

"What? What do you mean?" he asked. Ed looked at him sadly.

"Al...you've had epilepsy since you were 1." he replied. Al gasped.

"What? How?" he asked panickingly. Ed sighed.

"I'm sorry we never told you. But don't freak out to much, or you'll go into shock again." he replied.

"That never answered my question!" Al said. Ed looked at him.

"Al...when you were born, you instantly went into a seizure. It was a miracle that you survived the first time. Anyways, the doctor put you on herbal pills that subdued your next seizure. We hid it in your food and in whatever you drank. So, there you go." he replied.

Al was shaking again. Ed looked at him. Something was wrong.

"A-Al?" Ed asked. Al looked at him admist his shaking and squeezed his hand

"W...Winry..." he said dryly. Ed gasped.

"But I can't leave you!" he replied. Al gripped his brother hand as his nose began to bleed heavily. He suddenly stopped, his eyes closing.

"Al!" Ed called out. A doctor ran in, shooing Ed away.

Winry was at the stove when Ed came in. She smiled, but frowned when she saw Ed's face.

"Ed...what happened?" she asked.

"I don't know." he replied. Winry walked over to him and hugged him.

"It'll be alright." she said before Ed began kissing her and pulling her closer. She staggered away from him on to a couch as he got close again. He took her left hand as she used the right one to caress Ed's face. She freed her left hand to pull Ed close. He broke off the kiss and caressed Winry's face. She giggled.

The phone rang. Ed let go of her and went to answer it.

"Hello? Oh, hi. Yeah...okay, thanks." he said, hanging up. Winry got up.

"Who was that?" she asked.

"They're bringing Al over. He's apparently too weak to stand." Ed replied.

Winry smiled. "I'm glad he's alright...I just hope he has enough strength to recover."

"Don't say things like that..." Ed said. Winry hugged him.

About 15 minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Ed jumped up and rushed to the door. He opened the door to two men carrying a stretcher. Al was unconcious with an oxygen mask over his mouth. They layed him on his bed and left. Ed saw to it to make Al comfortable.

Ed pulled a blanket over Al and set his oxygen tank on the bedstand. Ed was finishing up when Al took his hand. Ed stared into his dreary eyes. Al looked at him.

"Nii-san...you kissed her...while I was away, didn't you?" he whispered. Ed looked away. Al smiled and gripped his hand.

"That's fine. It seems I may not live much longer, so...take her." he replied quietly. Ed gasped.

"What?" he asked. Al nodded.

"Whatever makes you happy, Nii-san. Live a happy life with a family of your own. Just don't forget me..." Al replied. He closed his eyes. Ed left the room.

"Ed? What happened?" she asked. He shook his head and walked into her arms. She held him close as she heard him sob.

-THE END-

-EPILOUGE-

"Edward, why are we moving to the other side of town?" Winry asked. Ed kept silent as they made their journey to their new home. Winry saw him open his mouth to reply.

"We're moving because that apartment's not big enough to accomodate our baby. I also don't want him to grow up in such a place, filled with sorrow." he said.

Winry nodded and held her pregnant belly, her wedding band glimmering in the backseat. "Yeah, that's right..." she said in a quieter tone. Ed looked into the backseat and smiled.

"It'll be alright. Our child will grow up strong." he said. Winry smiled.

A few minutes later, Ed stopped in the driveway of a middle-sized house. He got out first then went to help his wife out of the back seat. He looked at her and blinked with suprise.

"How old are you?" he asked.

"What? Ohh...I'm 22, same as you." she replied. After all, Ed's amnesia didn't leave. Ed would ask the occasional questions, but he never remembered what he did the first time he tried to commit suicide.

A few hours later, they unpacked some boxes and decided to rest for the day. Winry left to take a walk.

It was cloudy outside, and threatening to rain. Winry sighed. She was about to turn back when she saw the cemetary. She realized it was the one that Al was buried in, and in that instant, decided to visit him.

It began to rain as she reached his grave. She knelt at it and ran her hand along it.

"Hey Al...It's been a long time, eh? Almost 10 months. Alot has happened during that time, like I got married to Ed and I'm going to have a baby soon. I hope you're happy where ever you are, and I will bring my son to meet you someday." she said before she gripped her stomach and fell on the ground. She moaned loudly. A car stopped outside the cemetary as Ed sprung out of it and dashed towards his wife.

They made it to the hospital in time for Winry to deliver her baby girl, whom she named Felicity. Felicity grew up strong and eventually walked to the cemetary to visit "Uncle Al" by herself. She says that she feels his presence when she goes to sleep, as if he was watching her, protecting her.
