Disclaimer: I own NOTHING; except maybe the admiration I have for Misters Gregory Maguire and L. Frank Baum.
Summary: When the Thropps were forced to flee to the Colwen Grounds, young Elphaba came missing from the hands of her Nanny, leaving a distraught Frexspar and Nanny and an absentminded Melena. Ten years have passed, young Shell Thropp accidentally stumbles upon a green skinned girl who lives near the Waterfall cave.
Frexspar Thropp had a hard time in believing that Turtle Heart is already dead.
It was his fault why the nice Quadling had died.
He had grown attached to him, not that he'd admit it infront of Nanny and Melena.
But the thing that really set him off is that Nanny had lost little Elphaba!
If this has happened before, he'd be happy. No more insult to him and Melena.
But no. Right now all he could feel is anger and sadness.
Somehow, even though Elphaba seems like a spawn of demon, she's still his daughter. His and Melena's daughter.
Right now, he wanted to die. Somehow, little Elphaba managed to wiggle her way into her father's heart.
He had screamed at Nanny - to find where his little frog is.
Knowing Nanny, of course she'd reply a fair amount of sarcasm.
But Frex gave him his finest death glare and the old nanny went looking immediately.
Melena thought at first that it was a joyous thing, but once she was shaken out of her absentmindedness, she looked for her daughter, too.
They did everything they could do, but still no one could find the little green girl.
And all Frexspar the Godly could do is cry and pray to the Unnamed God above.
A week after Turtle Heart's death and Elphaba's supposed to be death, Melena became more alcoholic.
She would throw tantrums at Nanny at some point of their days.
Frex would just stare at her while Nanny fuss.
Their lives were broken.
That was, until a joyous news came to them.
Melena was pregnant with their second child, though Frex was still hesitant if he's the child's father or not.
Frex made Nanny swear to protect their child. Nanny didn't hesitated. After all, she was responsible for Elphaba's... well, death.
Melena unsurprisingly said she'd hope the child to be a boy, Frex couldn't care less about the gender.
If it was a girl, he'd name her Nessarose. Nessarose Elphaba Thropp, perhaps. He wanted Elphaba to be remembered.
And if it was a boy, they'd name him Shell. Shell Frexspar Thropp - to honor Turtle Heart's death.
Melena was adamant about the girl's name. Frex, however, made sure Melena or Nanny wouldn't interfere with his goals.
It was decided by Frex to love this child with all his might.
And he is to make sure this child knows who Elphaba is.
After all, who would forgot someone who's green and afraid of water?
After nine months of pregnancy, Nessarose Elphaba Thropp was born.
She is a beautiful young girl with dark brown hair and hazel brown eyes - only she had no arms.
Melena shrieked and plead to the Unnamed God not give her any more abomination, but Frex thought that the child is perfect.
Perhaps the reason why the girl was arm less is because of Melena's constant fear of the child being green; Frex doesn't give a damn.
Nessarose will be the most beautiful and loved girl in Oz, Frex would make sure of that.
And Elphaba - oh dear sweet Elphaba! Frex thought. - he'd make sure her future siblings would know everything about her.
A/N: I'm so sorry if the first chapter was short and useless but I did it on purpose (being short, that is) so expect me to make longer chapters in the future. I hope you like this. Thanks for reading :)
