2- Part song fic. When you're gone Fiyraba

5 years after they left Oz, they were safe, happy, and married with one child in the Vinkus. Until…today. He was leaving. War had struck out again,and being Prince he had no choice. Fiyero was going to be gone for 2 months at a time, leaving Elphaba and their baby girl Fae. Both of their hearts were breaking.

"Fiyero?..." Elphaba said crying soft sobs holding him close for the last time in a long time.

Sniffling "Yes my Fae?"

"Don't leave me." She said holding him even tighter if possible.

"If there was anyway…I promise you I wouldn't" He reluctantly loosened his grip on her "Look at me Elphaba."

She Couldn't. She knew if she were too she would only cry harder.

"Please Fae; don't do this to me now! This is the last thing I need." He took her chin, and she didn't fuss, she didn't want their last time to be together a fight.

"Thank you, now. Elphaba. I promise as soon as I get back, we'll have plenty of time together and I'll make it last, just like we have the past 5 years together, ok?" looking straight in to her eyes a serious as possible.

She couldn't say anymore "...Ok" And she gave him the smallest, faintest smile possible

"I love you." He said as he took her back in his arms

"I love you more" she said laying her head on his chest

He looked at her for the last time, and gave her a sweet kiss to last.

They broke away, and he knelt down to his 2 year old daughter, tears forming in his eyes once more.

"Fae?"

"Yes daddy?" Not exactly knowing what was going on she didn't seem so upset. He was actually glad about this, he didn't need to upset more than one person.

"I love you, okay?" Fiyero said trying not to sob uncontrollably

"I love you too, daddy" She said putting her tiny hand against his cheek, and taking away his tear.

He took her and held her as tight as possible without breaking her in half. Then he picked her up and took both her and Elphaba in his arms for the last time, for the real time. His kissed Elphaba as they were both crying, but he couldn't keep doing this, If he kept it up he would never leave, not that he wanted to.

He let go...And started to walk away. He didn't want to look back, He couldn't. But he did anyway.

He worded I love you again to Elphaba, and she couldn't take it anymore, she worded I love you, too picked up Fae and ran in to the house, crying once more.

1 week later

She had become so lonely, she had Fae and she was grateful for that but it still wasn't what she was looking for.

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry

Elphaba had always been very independent, but now that her lover…husband, and best friend was gone. She wondered how she had been independent all those long lonely years.


And the days feel like years when I'm alone

And although she had only just turned 30, it still felt so long now. She needed him now more than ever.


And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

She had been out in the play room with Fae all day, and now she went into her and Fiyero's room for a long deserved sleep. She looked at his side of the bed. It stayed in place, still made from when he left. And that's how she wanted it.

When you walk away I count the steps that you take

She could still see him leaving in her mind. Every little detail...It just broke her even more.

Do you see how much I need you right now?

She laid down waiting for arms to circle around her waist…nothing.

A month and a week later

When you're gone
the pieces of my heart are missing you
when you're gone
the face I came to know is missing too

It had been a month and month from now she knew he would be home to hug her, kiss her, make love to her, and talk to her about everything and nothing all at once. To see the details of his handsome face. Which at some points she feels like she's forgetting

When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

She felt her confidence that she had grown over the years with Fiyero were plummeting, she needed to hear his voice to know that she was wanted, loved, anything. If it weren't for Fae she doesn't know if she'd be here right now.

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you

She walked outside to their garden in the back .She looked up in the sky and saw a perfect blue sky with no clouds to be scene. Then looked down to the meadows before her. That seemed to go on forever and had the most perfect color green she had ever seen.

"Hm..Blue diamond's on a green field" She smirked to herself. Then for the first time in a long time. Her mind was cleared. And she was able to think. "What am I so worried about? It's not like im never gunna see him again. I know my Yero. He's strong, he'll make it though. And in two weeks I'll see him. And everything will be ok." She smiled to herself. She was right. Everything will be ok.


And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

It was night again, and Elphaba was looking though her closet for her night clothes to go to bed. Lately she had just been so tired she just flopped to bed in whatever she was wearing. Then her foot was under a pile of cloths. She looked down and smiled. They were Fiyero's clothes, and on top of that pile was that stupid tee shirt she had always hated, but right now she loved. She didn't bother looking for clothes anymore. She threw off her dress and pulled on the tee shirt. It was big on her, but she didn't care. She smelled it. ..It smelled just like him. When she fell asleep that night. She finally felt like a piece of him was there with her.

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

2 weeks later.

Today was the day. He was coming home. Elphaba had never been happier. She wanted to look special for her husband. So she had actually gone out and bought a new dress. And bought Fae one to match. They looked so cute. Both matching their Emerald skin quite well they were wearing dark violet dresses, with their hair half up and half down. Now of course Elphaba's showed a little more…. Of her assets. They both waited outside the palace. And even though Fae was so young. She knew something was missing, and she was glad to have whatever "that" was to come back.

Then a big black limo pulled up and stopped right in front of the girls. And he stepped out. He looked so handsome in his Gale Force uniform.

There was no need for formal introduction. Elphaba jumped up on him and rapped her legs around his waist. And gave him the most passionate kiss she could muster. He didn't oblige. There were no words needed. They knew how they felt. They just needed to touch, feel, See. To make sure that It wasn't a dream. The words I love you, were spread out between kisses every five seconds, while tears were streaming down both their cheeks. Now usually He would of just brought her right up to their room, until he Felt something tug at his leg. His lips parted with Elphaba's and he looked down. It was his Daughter, Fae.

He gently set Elphaba down, and kneeled down to his little girl.

"Hi daddy!" Fae said as she smiled and wrapped her tiny arms around his neck.

"Hi princess! Did you miss me?" Fiyero said sounding so sweet.

Fae unwrapped her arms from him "Mhm!" She said shaking her head up and down rapidly. "Well good I missed you too! And how 'bout tomorrow I buy you whatever you want?" She liked the sound of that. "Yay!" She screamed. He laughed.

"I missed you two both so much "he said wrapping both of his arms around his girls.

"We missed you too" Elphaba smiled.
