I saw the house from the corner of my eyes, yes the horizon was beautiful, the freedom to travel around while researching everything was sweet, but the feeling of coming home to my family, well that had no words great enough to describe it.

Winry would be in the kitchen probably about now making dinner while the children ran around playing games with each other,I could smell the sweet apple pie that was probably made earlier this afternoon for desert, she had gottten really good at making them. I was proud to call her mine.

Reaching the door way I hesitated to knock. I mean this is my house and all now but still...I has been a while since I have been home...

"Mama!I think I saw someone come to the house!" I heard Roy call out to his mother. Yeah, I know what your thinking Roy , it was actually my idea! The colonial has done so much for me, While Winry and I were discussing names Roy's is the one that came straight to mind. Does that Jackass know about this? Nope not one bit.

"Are you sure someone is here?"I heard Winry sigh I could also hear her foot steps getting closer to the door. Swallowing hard I waited for what was to come next. The door knob turned and finally it opened to show my beautiful Winry and my son standing there just staring at me.

"Uhh..Hey, I'm home.."For a moment there was silence, than Winry jumped into my arms with a happy cry she held on tight

"Welcome home Ed."I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her in tighter.

"I'm back." I could hear my son talking to my younger daughter while giggling.

"Don't watch! Mommy and Daddy are being Icky!"He sounded disgusted but all in all happy.

My Eliza giggled a bit.

"Well, I think its sweet!" She said through her toothy grin.

"You two.."Winry said placing her motherly attitude back on.

"This is not the dinner table, back in your seats."She pointed towards the kitchen.

I smiled at this,Winry made a great mother.

"But Mama! We want to see Daddy!"Eliza said while tears started to form in her crystal blue eyes.

The same eyes Winry has, The eyes that can make me cave easily.

"Your dad will come to the table as well, so don't worry." She sounded as if she was immune to the Bambi eyes by now, I had a lot to learn.

"Winry, I'm back."I said to her while grabbing her hand, she just turned and gave me a sarcastic look.

"I know Ed, I heard you the first two times."She laughed out at me

"No, I mean.. I'm back for good."She stopped walking now while turning towards me slowly.

"Are you sure?"I knew why she was asking, my family had a bad habit of travelling for a long time most people call it wander-lust, I call it a major thirst for knowledge that never gets quenched.

"Yeah, I want to be with my family now..And I got your letter about how amazing these two have become at Alchemy. I grew up learning it on my own with Al, I don't want that to happen to my children. I want to teach them myself.."I said to her she now had a hand on her hip and a eye brow raised a little bit.

"What?"I asked now a bit worried.

"Not once did you mention wanting to see me in that sentence. You stupid Alchemist!" I saw her hand twitch towards the wrench that was laying on the side table by the door, Oh no..

reaching forward I grabbed her wrist and swung her towards me holding her tight

"Of course I wanted to see you! I missed you everyday I was gone! I do want to train our children to eb the best they can be, but I would feel lonely if I didn't have you by my side watching out for me, feeding me, loving me , and even coming close to killing me I just don't know what I would do!" She placed her hand on my chest and smiled.

"So, you did miss me after all didn't you.."

"Yeah, I guess I did..."

"Good... Now lets go eat, I'm starving." She took my hand and laced her fingers through mine.

I'm home with my family, with my love, And not even Alchemy could change that.
