"Look at her Fiyero, she is beautiful. And she isn't green." Elphaba cried with delight.
"Even if she was she would be just as beautiful as you are." Fiyero said taking the baby into his arms
"But it means she can have a normal life. We can raise her then she can go live in Oz among people. She won't have to live this forsaken life of running away, always making sure we are never seen, and living in the forest." Elphaba said referring to the life her and Fiyero had lived ever since she had been deemed the "Wicked Witch" and had faked her own death.
"Elphaba, you might want to rethink that." Fiyero said with a sad tone to his voice.
"What do you…"
Before Elphaba could get the words out she saw what he meant. The baby started to cry and its purple eyes looked at her mother as her skin color turned as green as her mother's.
"But she was just normal. The only thing strange was her eyes and I thought it was because instead of her skin being weird it would only be her eyes! This isn't possible. I knew I couldn't have children! I knew it would be just as ugly as me and have green skin!" Elphaba screamed.
Fiyero tried to calm the child and found it falling asleep. Once it was in a deep sleep its skin tone was normal once again.
"I think her skin changes with her moods." Fiyero said, half to himself half out loud.
"Then she will never be normal and will be cursed to live her life in the forest." Elphaba said almost in tears.
"Well if she should stay in the forest for her life then her name shall be Silvia, girl of the forest." Fiyero said as he kissed the child's forehead.
