I Just Wrote To Say I Love You

by Modern Day Cathy Earnshaw

After his death, a pregnant Elphaba finds a letter from Fiyero. Slight AU. Fiyero/Elphaba.

Elphaba POV

I found a letter today. It's one Fiyero wrote to me. It's still hard to read it, but I have too. Our child needs to know him.

Dear Elphaba,

I just wrote to say I love you. But if you are reading this, Elphaba, I am dead. I know they know about you. So run, my love.

This will be my last letter. I'm sorry, Fae, but I will soon be torn from you. But, darling, I won't go down easy. Use that memory when you're upset. Your Yero went down fighting.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry I won't see our child grow up. And I'm sorry we won't grow old together. I just wrote to say I love you.

Goodbye, My Love.

Fiyero

I rubbed my bump.

"Your father was a great man," I whispered to my baby. "And he loves you."
