Sorry this is short.

Edward woke up drenched in sweat. Something wasn't right. He couldn't tell what it was, but he had a feeling that something was wrong in a very bad way. He didn't feel good at all. He sat up. The room was painfully cold and it made him ache. "Roy..?" he mumbled. Getting no response, he stumbled to his feet and walked into the other room. "Roy?!" he whispered, starting to feel panicked. He got to the couch where Roy was asleep. "Hey, Roy? Roy please wake up!" He shook him as hard as he could with no response. "Royy!" he whined. " Roy, c'mon get up! Please! " he started sobbing uncontrollably. "Roy, get up!" he whined again. He was starting to feel really bad. "Royy!" he squealed. He dropped down next to the couch, crying harder. "Ng.. Fullmetal? What are you doing up?" he mumbled groggily. "Roy..!" he whined. "Edward, what's wrong?" he said, instantly by Ed's side, rubbing his back. " I d..don't know! Somethings wrong! " he wailed. "Hey, Edward! It's okay.. Tell me what's wrong.." Roy said, pulling Edward into his lap, and rocking back and forth. "IdontknowIjustfeelbad!" he sobbed. " Sshhhh... Shhh. Calm down. It's okay. " He pulled Edward into the couch, and felt his forehead. He jerked his hand back in surprise at the warmth. Well, that would explain it. "Ed, you've got a high fever." He turned on a lamp. " I'm gonna go grab something for your fever from the other room, and I want you to stay put, okay?" "Mmhmm.." he groaned, laying his head against the arm of the couch. "Good."

Roy sighed and walked back towards the other room. How did the kid get so sick? At least it wasn't much worse. He groggily ran a hand through his hair and stepped back into the room. "Okay, Ed, I-" His heart practically stopped. Edward was on his hands and knees on the floor, a large amount of blood splattered on the carpet where he had just thrown it up. Nononono, this can't be happening..! Roy rushed over and dropped to his knees beside the now sobbing child. "No, shhh... Ed, it's gonna be okay. Calm down! Crying'll make you feel worse. Calm down." "'m so sorry!" he sobbed. "For what, Ed? It's your floor," he said, stroking the boy's hair. "Nn.. I'm sorry..!" " Hey, no-ones mad at you, kiddo... Just relax... It's gonna be okay.. " He pulled Edward into his lap once more and held him, gently rocking him back and forth. "Its gonna be o-kay.. It's o-kay..." he said, drawing out the ' o' sound, and stroking Ed's hair.

After he had calmed down some, Roy paused. "Ed?" " Hn? Wha..? " he mumbled groggily. "I think I'm gonna take you to the doctor." He frowned and moaned. "Hey, I just don't want you getting any worse, kid. " Edward leaned back against Roy, exhaustedly relenting. "Stay here just a moment, okay? I'll be right back, I just need to grab something before he go." Roy leaned Edward back against the couch and walked to the other room. He grabbed his keys and a bucket and came back to the couch where he grabbed Ed.

"If you feel sick, try and spew in the bucket, okay?" Roy said, buckling Edward into the passenger seat. Edward nodded sleepily. "Good. If you can't make it, that's okay, but at least try." Roy smiled at him, even though it was fake; meant only to comfort him. In all honesty, he was scared.

Roy held the sick boy on his lap in the waiting room. Edward bit back tears of fear and pain. "Shh.. We'll be in soon." "Edward Elric?" a nurse said. Edward paled considerably. "C'mon, Ed," Roy coaxed. "May I ask what the trouble is?" the nurse said politely . Edward was silent. Roy sighed. "He had a fever and then was vomiting blood." "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that!" she said trying to sound polite. "We're going to have to run some tests," she said, "Is that alright?" Edward shrugged and looked away. "Go on, Ed," Roy said. Edward frowned, but relented. Roy smiled. "I'm gonna make a call. I'll be right back."

Riza Hawkeye woke up to the sound of the phone ringing. "Hello?" she asked . "Hey, Riza, it's me," Roy sighed, tiredly. "What's the matter?" she immediately asked. He sighed heavily. "Edward's sick, and it doesn't look good." "What happened?" she asked , sitting up. "Well, he was throwing up blood." She gasped. "Is he alright?" " I don't know. We're at the hospital." "I'll be right over."

" Um, sir? " a nurse said. Roy looked up. "Are you Edward's father?" "Yeah, I'm his guardian. Why?" She motioned for him to follow. The doctor was standing there. "What's going on?" " it seems as though Edward has the same disease as his late mother. " Roy froze. "Does that mean he's going to die?!" "Not necessarily. There is a cure, but.. it doesn't always work." Roy put his head in his hands

Buh-buh-bum!
