Epilogue

I stood on the balcony of our two-story home. It had been a year since everything had happened. Mustang had killed Pride, and Ed had disappeared somewhere.

We had gotten married, Matthias and I, and were expecting our first child sometime soon. I smiled when I felt my husbands strong arms wrap around me from behind and rub her expanding belly.

"How's my son doing?", he said to me nibbling on my ear.

I turned around to face him. "Do you know the last time a boy was born in my family?", I asked him.

"No", he replied.

"Neither do I".

Matthias smiled and kissed me. I kissed him back and we kissed for until we ran out of breath.

"Am I interrupting anything?", a voice said.

We both turned to see Natasha smiling at us.

"Not at all", Matthias said to her.

"And to answer your question, the last time a boy was born in our family was over seventy years ago", Natasha said to Matthias.

"So your stuck with us girls", I said to him.

"I can dream can't I?", Matthias said wrapping his arm around me.

I chuckled and kissed him lightly on the lips. In the corner of my eye I saw Natasha smiling happily at us.

"You look so happy together", she said to me. "I'm so jealous".

"Well when are you going to get married?", I asked her.

Natasha blushed and tried to ignore the comment, I chuckled. Natasha was still young, and had plenty of time to get a husband.

"How are you feeling?", Natasha asked me.

"I'm feeling just fine", I replied rubbing my belly, "she's due any day now".

"She?", Matthias said to me eyeing me suspiciously.

"Call it mothers intuition", I said to him and I couldn't help the mischievous grin that formed on my face.

Matthias paced around outside Selena's bedroom. She had gone into labor hours ago and had only been attended by Natasha. Finally, Natasha came out of the room with a smile on her face.

"Congratulations Matthias", she said to him, "you now have a beautiful little girl".

Natasha left Matthias to be alone with Selena and his new daughter. Matthias nervously opened the door to Selena's room. Selena was lying in bed with a small bundle in her arms. Matthias walked over to Selena's side and looked at his daughter.

"How are you feeling?", he asked her.

"Tired", Selena said smiling up at him, "say hello to your daughter".

Selena handed the bundle in her arms to Matthias who took it carefully. Underneath the blankets was a baby girl. Even though she had just been born Matthias could tell she would have many of Selena's features when she was older.

"She has your face", Matthias said to her.

"But she has your eyes", Selena said to him.

"What're we going to call her?", Matthias asked her.

"Actually", Selena said, "I wanted you to name her".

Matthias looked back at his newborn daughter and thought for a few moments. His daughter was beautiful, just like her mother was. And then, a name came to him.

"Jessica", he said, "Jessica will be her name".

"Mommy", two year old Jessica said to me has she held her arms up.

"That's right", I said has I picked up my daughter.

Jessica smiled and hugged me. She looked so much like me that sometimes I thought that I was looking at myself when I saw her. I walked back towards the house to fix dinner. Once inside the house I was greeted by Natasha.

"Tasha", Jessica said reaching her arms towards her aunt.

"Did you have a nice time with your mommy?", Natasha said to the little girl.

"Yeah", Jessica replied.

I smiled at the two and went into the kitchen to fix dinner, only to find Matthias was already doing it.

"Matthias what are you doing?", I asked him.

"I wanted to do something nice for you", he said putting his hands on my waist, "besides, you're due any day now".

He did have a point. I was nine months pregnant with our second child whom Matthias insisted was a boy.

"Thank you", I said kissing him lightly on the lips.

"So, how's my son doing?", he asked grinning.

I laughed. "Remember what happened last time you said that?".

"Yes, but this time I know it's a boy", Matthias said smiling.

"Are you sure?", I asked him grinning.

"Positive".

Half an hour later, I went into labor, and it was a girl who we named Annie. While Jessica bared a sharp resemblance to me, Annie looked more like her aunt Natasha, and was a daddy's girl.

"You spoil her so much", I said to Matthias has I put Annie down for a nap.

"I'm her father, what am I supposed to do?", he said wrapping his arms around me.

"Say no".

"But it's so hard to do", he said letting his hands massage my breasts and causing me to moan.

"Not in front of the baby", I said has I moaned.

"Then let's go into our room", he said nibbling on my earlobe.

Matthias picked me up bridal style and carried me into our bedroom. He laid me down on the bed and kissed me.

"Maybe our daughters will get lonely soon", Matthias whispered in my ear before kissing my neck.

"I seem to remember giving birth to Annie not too long ago", I said to him, "and I also seem to remember doing all the work".

"I helped to", Matthias said kissing my neck, "at least in the conception".

Matthias and I made love that night. We fell asleep naked in each others arms for the first time since we'd found that I was pregnant with Annie. It was then that I realized how lucky I was to have all this. My husband, my children, my sister, my humanity.

I stood on a balcony, overlooking the city. It had taken awhile but with the help of the state the city of Ishbal had been rebuilt. I smiled has I watched my daughter, Jessica, playing in the street with other children. A pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist from behind and i relaxed into Matthias's arms.

"How's my son doing?", he asked me nibbling on my ear and rubbing my expanding belly.

"The first time you said that we had Jessica", I said turning around in his arms.

"Yes, but this time I know it will be a boy", he said smiling at me.

"You said that when he had Annie as well", I said kissing my husband lightly on the lips.

The sound of a baby crying interrupted our moment and we broke apart. I walked into the nursery and picked up our second child, Annie, who had just woken up from a nap and was begging for attention. The two-year olds arms reached for her father who took her into his arms. I chuckled.

"What's so funny?", he asked me.

"Oh, I'm just thinking of how you'll react when the day comes that you realize that she's not daddy's little girl anymore", I said smiling.

"That day will come for you too you know", he said putting Annie back in her bed.

"I know", I said putting my arms around Matthias's neck, "but we have so much time until then".

Our lips met in a kiss that literally took our breath away…
