Can we get some more Mustang Family AU, specifically can Roy and Riza have more kids? They can adopt more or have biological children but I think it would be cute. 🥰
Ope here we go!

Little Rosemarie squeals as she's scooped up into her oldest brother's arms. Ed brings her up and blows a raspberry into her belly, startling a loud, happy laugh out of her, and where she and Roy sit on the steps of the newly rebuilt Elric home, Riza leans into her husband and smiles.
Riza can't lie; she was shocked when she realized she was pregnant a few weeks after they were informed of their first grandchild's imminent arrival. She and Roy weren't exactly trying, after all, and she never really entertained the thought of carrying a child of her own. She had Edward and Alphonse, and those boys were more than enough for her.
But then Rosemarie was born, with her red cheeks and her black hair, and Riza and Roy were instantly in love with their little girl, and so did her older brothers.
(Edward rushed to Central as soon as he felt comfortable leaving Engel with Winry and Ling, and he melted when his new little sister was put into his arms. "She's perfect," he told Riza, tears pooling in his eyes. "Absolutely perfect. Al's gonna love her."
Riza took a photograph of Edward holding her and sent it to Alphonse in her next letter to Xing. Alphonse wrote back immediately and promised to bring May for a visit as soon as they could get away from court.)
Now, three years later, Riza thinks her life couldn't be any more perfect. It's the extended family's annual cookout. Alphonse and Mei are visiting with their new baby, a little prince named Zhihao, Winry is pregnant with her and her boys' second child, and Ling is trying to coax Engel, who inherited an unholy mix of all three of his parents' intelligence, away from a book that seems far too large for a toddler, at least until you remember Winry used to read medical textbooks for fun as a kid. Christine is here as well, doting over her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The only one missing is Pinako, who has unfortunately succumbed to old age. Her funeral was the last time everyone was together, and it was a somber affair, but Winry held her head up the whole time. "She lived a long, fulfilling life," she said to Riza at dinner that night. "She knew we were going to be okay without her, and she was ready to see Mom and Dad and Trisha again."
Riza looks at her pregnant belly now, and she knows that if this baby is a girl, she'll probably be named Pinako.
Roy wraps his arm around Riza's shoulders and kisses the top of her head. "We should do this more often," he tells her.
Riza smiles, turning her face into his shoulder. "I agree."
She wishes she could go back in time and tell her past self that everything would be okay. She wishes the little girl she was when she met Roy knew how their life was going to turn out.
Because things turned out pretty damn good.
