Making Good
A/N I was listening to the song Making Good by Stephanie J Block from the 5th anniversary Wicked soundtrack and I imagined what would happen if Elphaba had a daughter but she didn't want to be a witch and Elphaba didn't want her child to end up like her. I hope other Wicked fans enjoy!
Prologue
Elphaba sighed as she heard the babe in her arms look at her happily. She had dark eyes like her mother but had green skin too. She sighed realising that her daughter would be treated the same as she had been growing up but wondered something.
"Maybe things will be different with you child.
Maybe you won't turn out like me." she thought as she rocked the babe in her arms.
She was about toleave Oz when she realised there was only person she could trust with her child.
"I know Galinda will raise her well." Elphaba thought as she snuck into the Emerald City in a hooded cloak.
"Ssh Mari. The Witch Hunters will hear and come after us." she said softly to the baby as she entered the emerald castle.
Galinda was feeling depressed. She had the popularity she'd wanted from the other Ozians but she still felt empty inside. She missed Elphaba a lot and wished she was with her.
"....Galinda..." she heard somebody say as she turned around and gasped in awe.
"E-Elphie?
What're you doing here? The other Ozians have been very cruel when they talked about you but I'm so happy you're here.
Maybe we can be friends again." she told her.
"Galinda I'm not staying.
But before I go, I want you to look after something for me." the witch told her.
Galinda gasped at the babe sleeping in her arms after Elphaba handed her to her.
"This is my daughter Mari.
She's like me but has magic like me but I don't want her to end up like me.
That's why I want you to raise her." Elphaba told her.
Galinda was a little startled and worried.
"Elphie you know I would do anything to help you but..... are you sure you want me to raise her?
She is your daughter after all." she said softly with sadness in her eyes.
"I'm sure I want you to Galinda. I don't want her to end up like me when she's older and I know she'll do something great unlike me." Elphaba answered her as Mari seemed happy in Galinda's arms.
".....Okay I will raise her as if she were my own child." Galinda told her.
Elphaba smiled at that but when Galinda turned around, she was gone.
Elphaba sighed as she left the Emerald City for the Wicked West.....
