Word Count: 2093
Warning: AU, alittle bit of an OOC!Riza and Crossover with Black Cat.
Disclaimer: I don’t own anything
Made for the Royai Challange on the RoyRiza forums. This time around Star-chan wanted Comedy, with a bit of Romance on the side. So for the past week I wrote several different version and nothing seemed to fit. I ended in so much panic I wondered if I'd finish it in time. In the end i used a story that I hadn't finished yet.
Secondly this is crossed over with the anime/manga Black Cat. I hope crossovers are alright. You don't really need to know anything about Black Cat to understand the story it all.
The scene is set in Artemist. After Ed and Al get there bodies back. But the thing is that Riza isn't in the Military. So she's alittle bit Housewifeish. Sorry. Enjoy the story.
Words Used: Babies, Funny, Adorable, Compromise, Military, Maes Hughes.

“Well good job on your report and assessment Fullmetal! I shall reward you with supper at my house. I’m sure my wife would love to meet you, since I speak of you so often.” Roy Mustang said from behind his desk.
The three blondes in the room gaped at the statement.
“I sure hope they’re nice things.” A blonde teenaged girl said.
“That is very kind of you Colonel, sir.” One of the boys added.
The loudest actually came from the boy called ‘Fullmetal’, “YOU HAVE A WIFE?!"
“Yes I do.” The colonel answered back.
“Since when?”
“Since about 20 years ago.”
“This is news to me.”
“Well just because I don’t flaunt my wife and children around like Maes Hughes doesn’t mean I don’t have any.”
“You have children?!” the three yelled.
“Yes, I have children, four to be exact.”
“FOUR!” the three yelled again.
---------
“What’s going on?” A blonde asked to his companion lifting his cigarette from his mouth.
A black haired man looked at him with a grin leaning away from the door, “Roy finally told Fullmetal that he has a wife and children.”
“Wait till he tells them how Ol-”
“THE OLDEST IS OUR AGE!? HOW OLD ARE YOU ANYWAY?!” was yelled from inside the office.
“Never mind.” the blonde sighed.
--------
“I’m home!” Roy yelled as he entered his home, “come in, come in.” he said ushering his three guests in. They removed their coats and shoes when a little girl wandered into the room. She looked up from a very large book.
“Otou-sama!” the girl said happily. She was no more than the age of eight with bright purple eyes and her long blonde hair shown in contrast to the black dress she was wearing.
“Eve-chan!” he said bending down to her height where she latched on to him for a tight hug. He let go to stand up to introduce her to the guests but she hid behind him. “Now Eve-chan no need to be shy.” She gripped onto his pant leg, he sighed, “they are friends from work.”
“I-I’ve never seen them before. T-they aren’t Havoc-san, or-”
“Eve-chan, have you ever heard a man by the name of ‘Fullmetal’?” Winry asked bending down to the girl’s height, Eve’s grip tightened, but she nodded. “Well that boy right there, with the braid is the ‘Fullmetal Alchemist’ Edward Elric.”
The child looked up at her father for conformation and he nodded, “T-t-then who are you?” Eve said.
“I am Winry Rockbell, I’m his Automail mechanic. And that boy there is Edward’s younger brother Alphonse.”
“Nice to meet you.” She muttered out.
“Eve?” A new person popped into the room. He was tall, with dark hair that shown a tinge of green matching his equally dark eyes. Eve ran to hide behind him but before she could reach him, the boy quickly walked in front of Winry, “My what a pretty lady, and what may I ask is your name?” he took her hand in his and kissed it. Winry blushed like mad, Ed fumed and Alphonse gave a stifled giggle.
“Winry Rockbell...”
“My what a beautiful name, I am-”
“Jenos Leon Mustang! Get back here, I’m not finished with you!” was yelled from down the hall.
“Well got to go, sorry our talk couldn’t be longer.” And he tried to blot but his father caught him by the collar.
“Jenos what did you do this time?” Roy asked.
“I swear it was nothing... serious.”
“Jenos!” was gritted out by an older blonde woman as she appeared. She was wearing a pink apron over her plain purple t-shirt and black slacks. She was covered with soot from head to toe. Her hands were placed on her hips, one hand held a spatula, and her eyes narrowed. Eve, who had retreated to the woman whom the three deduced, was her mother, cowered behind her.
“It’s your fault!” the woman yelled, pointing the spatula at Roy, “your fault for teaching him alchemy.”
“What did you do?” Roy said angrily turning his son around.
“Well, I...”
“He blew up my kitchen that’s what he did! With one of those stupid gloves of yours!” the woman shrilled.
Roy’s eyes went from anger to wonder, “Really? How’d the transmutation go?”
“Roy!” the woman’s light brown eyes went to frustration and sorrow.
“Well Riza you didn’t get nearly as mad when Train shot your favorite vase during his target practice with his ball gun.” Roy tried reasoning with the woman.
“Well you fixed it, how are you supposed to fix the kitchen and supper. And the guest are supposed to be coming soon.”
“Well Riza, Hun they’re here.” He said moving out the way to expose the three blondes.
The woman collapsed on the floor, weeping, “it’s all ruined. I tried so hard. I wanted to change, look presentable...”
“Okaa-sama,” Eve said trying to calm her mother.
“I can fix it.” Edward said pointing to himself, “well the kitchen if you tell me what it looks like, I can transmutate it for you. But first to fix you.” Ed clapped his hands together placing them on Riza shoulders. The soot disappeared in an instant, “when we fix the kitchen then we all can help you remake supper.”
“You’re so kind...”
“Edward Elric.” He stood up and extended a hand.
She took it gratefully, “Thank you Edward-kun. Please call me Riza.” And with that the group entered into the kitchen Edward and Roy whistled at the damage. But before Edward got started fixing a girl entered the room she looked no older then Jenos, had short purple hair and green eyes, she yawned.
“Sure did one on the kitchen didn’t you Jenos?” she said mockingly then whispered into Jenos ear, “I’m sure it should make some interesting gossip.”
“Shut up Rinslet,” Jenos hissed at her, “or I shall have to let some information slip about something that went missing last week.”
“You wouldn’t dare.” And such commenced the glare contest between the two siblings.
“Quit it you two!” Was yelled as a spatula went flying by both of their faces. While Edward fixed up the kitchen, “now you two are going to grow up and go get me all the food that is on this list and quickly! Eve go wake Train up, tell him that he needs to go outside and get me more vegetables from the garden also tell him that he shouldn’t be sleeping so much and report back to me. You,” she said pointing to Alphonse “can go with Jenos and Rinslet so they don’t destroy something. Edward you can help Train when he gets up and you two,” pointing to Roy and Winry, “can help me start the supper from the contents we have.”
“She sounds like a commanding officer.” Edward whispered to the older man.
“You know Lt. General Grumman?” Roy answered in return.
“Yeah.”
“She’s his granddaughter.”
“I-” was all that Ed could get out before utensils went flying by both their heads.
“What are you two whispering about? Get going!” Riza yelled.
“Hai!”
----------
“The bathroom is that way.” Eve said pointing to her left.
Winry jumped startled and looked to see where the voice came from. She glanced down to see little Eve standing in the doorway of her bedroom. Then glanced up to find shelves and shelves of books that lined the room and one small bed with a reading lamp and a big stuffed black cat on the end of the bed.
“I’m not really looking for that. I just-”
“Wanted to get away from the yelling?”
“Uh, yeah. Do your parents argue this much? They almost sound like they don’t want to be married.”
“Oh that kind of fighting.” The little girl smiled, “Jenos calls them their ‘compromise’ arguments. He also says that they end in something I shouldn’t know about just yet.” Winry stepped back and gave the girl a funny look.
“Dinner is ready.” A deep voice said behind her, and Winry jumped startled. The boy standing behind her was skinny, as tall as she was with dark brown hair and bright yellow eyes.
“Himechi you coming?”
“Yes.” She said nodding.
“Coming houkyaku-san?”
“Um.” Was all Winry could get out.
---------
“I’m sorry about before, we’ve been rude and haven’t properly introduced ourselves yet.” Riza said from her place at the table. She changed out of her shirt and slacks into something she felt more presentable a button-down blouse and matching pants. The children were standing in line with her.
“It’s alright, there were something’s that got in the way.” Alphonse tried to console her.
Riza smiled, “Well with that I am Riza Mustang, and I love to welcome you to our home. This is Jenos and Rinslet they are twins and are eighteen years old, the next is Train whom is sixteen, and lastly there is Eve who is eight.” Riza gestured politely to each and every one of her children. Who didn’t seem so grateful for the dinner guests.
“It’s a pleasure. I am Edward Elric I am eighteen, this is my younger brother Alphonse Elric he’s seventeen and this is our friend Winry Rockbell who is also eighteen.”
“It’s nice to meet you,” the family bowed and a clicking of a bell came out from Trains direction.
It was when they all sat down or supper Winry asked, “Um, may I ask you why you have a bell around your neck Train-kun?”
“He’s a bad cat.” Eve said quietly over her dinner, Jenos and Rinslet seemed to think it was funny.
“I don’t quite understand.” Winry said because the statement confused her further. Riza gave her a stressed smile.
“Kuroneko. It’s a nickname from school.” Train finally said leaning back in his chair; “You put a bell around a bad cat’s neck so they wont be dangerous anymore. Right Himechi?” Eve nodded.
“Or would you just like to be called ‘Kuro-sama’?” Rinslet piped up.
“Shut up Rins.” Train glared at her.
“I wonder what Saya-chan would say if she caught you with Kyoko-chan.” Jenos added.
“For the last time Saya is not my girlfriend she’s just a friend! And that thing all she does is follow me around after I tell her to shove off!” Train seethed.
“Ah, my son being chased by woman reminds me of my youth, those were the days.” Roy said proudly, his wife shot him a deadly glare, “but once I married you Riza-chan I swore off all other women together. You made my life worth living.” he gave a nervous smile.
“So Riza-san how did you get the chance to marry the Colonel?” Alphonse asked politely to change the subject.
“Well Alphonse-kun it was an arranged marriage.” Riza said smiling, the food Edward had in his mouth went shooting back onto his plate, “Our fathers were close, so when I was about six they said we were to be wed.”
“You got married when you were six?” Edward asked dumbfounded.
Jenos gave him a look like Edward was completely insane, Riza shook her head, “No, no. We were fiancées from when I was six.”
“How old were you Mustang-san?” Winry turned to Roy who was pushing at his peas, “eleven and I wasn’t to entirely happy knowing I had to marry a girl that was afraid of the outdoors.”
“I wasn’t-”
“I shoved a frog in your face and you screamed.”
“Well-”
“If you don’t mind me asking how old were you Riza-chan when you married?” Winry interrupted blushing a bit giving Edward a sidelong glance.
“She was eighteen and head over heels in love with me.” Roy said proudly. The four children groaned. Riza turned a nice shade of bright red.
“Here we go again.” Rinslet said resting her forehead in her palm.
“Was not!”
“Was too!”
“Can you pass the peas?” Rinslet called over to Jenos.
“Was not!”
“Only if you give me the potatoes.” Jenos answered back.
“Was too!”
“Himechi, can you give me the milk?” Train asked his little sister.
“Was not!”
“Here you are Train.” Eve said placing the tray in his hands.
“Was too!”
Alphonse, Edward and Winry were baffled by what was going on. A military officer and his wife made their children look more adult then they were acting, “Hey!” Edward called out, “I’d hate to interrupt this adorable little spat but I want dessert.”
Roy went up to cling to his wife, “Oh shut up I know you two” he said pointing, “will do this too when you have babies.” All Edward and Winry could do was blush.

Like?
Usually I use just honorifics but for this story I wanted to keep somethings. Like the way Train speaks for instant.
Himechi - Short for Himechisai meaning small princess. It's Eve's nickname in the anime.
Houkyaku-san - really Train is just calling Winry "Guest-san" but it didn't sound as nice at it's japanese counterpart.
Kuroneko - meaning "Black Cat" his nickname/assasin identity.
Kuro-sama - Really "Black-sama" It's what Kyoko calls Train.
