A/N: In honor of my birthday being today (Febuary 10th) I wrote a oneshot about Elphaba's birthdays. Maybe all of them, maybe I'll skip a year or two. I may be a little busy today, so I may have to finish this later. As long as I got the first chapter up, it's all good.
Alright, here we go:
Birth
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Servants whispered around the house, tiptoeing around as to not disturb the Madame. There were many servants around the house, so naturally there were many rumors flying about as to why the Master had stormed out of his wife's bedchamber, fuming and looking disgusted. Only the midwife had been in the room, but she was packing up her things to leave tonight.
Finally, tired of the questions, she told everyone to meet her outside her bedroom at 7:00 that night.
Once they had finished their chores, everyone hurried to the midwife's chambers, except for a few that would hear it from their familes and friends later that night because of their chores.
Once the servants had assembled, the midwife smiled at them all. She was an Antelope, so they couldn't quite tell if she was smiling, but she was.
"This morning, at 8:30 this morning, a girl was born," she said.
There were various murmurings of "Aw," and such, but she quickly quieted them with her next words.
"The child was green."
A shocked silence.
"Actual green?"
"Green as grass from head to toe."
She smiled again, that half smile again, and then wished them well and strode away.
Finally, the servants withdrawed to their rooms for the night, telling the children and elders who had been left behind.
Over the next few days, servants caught a glimpse of a child who was, in fact, green.
One servant even got her name.
"Elphaba," she said. "Elphaba."
Little did they know who that baby would grow up to be.
As a birthday present, couldn't you PLEASE review?
