New Oz the Great and Powerful Story. Still very obsessed and probably will be forever. If I had this movie on DVD I don't think i'd ever stop watching it. It would be like my Rugrats in Paris VHS tape when I was a kid. I watched it all day every day and my grandma used to tell me i'd wear it out if I kept watching it like that.
Anyway, this is going to be a pretty intense one. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL BUT IF I DID THIS WOULD TOTALLY HAPPEN!
The Good, The Bad, and The Worst
Expecting
It was late at night in OZ. Most of the Emerald City castle was asleep by now. Except Oz and Glinda. In the throne room were stairs that led to the next floor and on that floor was a very cozy room that they often spent time together in. They were sitting on the couch in there and Oscar had his arms wrapped around his wife.
He knew something was bothering her. Six years of marriage, of course he knew her very well by now. He had hoped she would tell him herself after she worked out whatever was bothering her but now the curiosity was killing him.
"Glinda, is something bothering you?"
She shook her head. "No, of course not. Why would you think that?"
"Because you're being so quiet, and you're twirling your hair around your finger like you always do when you're upset."
She realized she was twirling her hair around her finger without even noticing it. She removed her hand. The truth was there had been something on her mind for a while now. She wanted something that only he could give her. The only reason she hadn't told him was because she was afraid of how he would react. "Well…maybe there is something…"
He sat up and looked intently into her eyes giving her his full attention. "Honey, whatever it is you can tell me. I don't want you to be worrying about something if I can help."
She didn't know how to bring it up. She was still afraid of what he'd say. "Oscar…there's something I've been thinking about for a while now…" she said hesitantly. "I just didn't know what you'd say…or if you'd want it as much as I do."
He placed a gentle comforting kiss on her lips. "Glinda whatever it is tell me. I'm pretty sure I won't be as mad as you think I'll be."
"Okay well…I want to have a baby."
He was silent for a moment. A baby? He was so unprepared for this. He'd thought it would be anything, anything but a baby. It's not like he was mad or he hated the idea. He'd thought about having a baby with her more than once. He was just so surprised about her bringing it up at that moment.
His silence worried her. He wasn't smiling or anything. She knew she shouldn't have said anything. She should have just kept it to herself. She wouldn't meet his eyes anymore. "Oscar…if you don't want to, it's okay."
He shook his head quickly. "No Glinda, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make it seem like it was horrible and I don't want to. I do want to. I've thought about it too. If you really want to have a baby, I'm all for it."
She was filled with happiness at him saying that. "Oh Oscar!" she kissed his passionately. "Thank you!"
Glinda was in the Southern realm of OZ one day. It was a beautiful day as most days in OZ were. The cities were busy, the castle looked beautiful from any distance as it always did, and people were happily bustling about with their daily lives. She had spent the day there and after settling some conflict she was sitting in the park reading books to the children.
"Read another one Glinda," a little girl said when she was finished.
"Alright," she said glad to read them another one. Another kid handed her the last book in the stack of four.
A woman came over to her. "Glinda, Mr. Riley needs you really quick."
"Aww," the kids said disappointedly.
"Don't worry," Glinda said. "I'll be back in a few minutes." She stood up and followed the woman to Mr. Riley. They had just arrived at the farm house when she suddenly felt light headed. Things in front of her started swimming. She couldn't hear what anyone was saying. Then she felt herself going down.
"Glinda!"
"Someone catch her!"
Two people grabbed her arms and moved her over to a chair. "Are you okay?"
She nodded even though she still felt dizzy and the things in front of her were still blurry. "Yes," she said not wanting anyone to worry about her. "Just a little dizzy…"
"Someone call the doctor."
They took Glinda to the castle right around the corner so she would have a comfortable place to lie down. They put her on the big couch in the front room and a couple of women stayed with her while they waited asking her if there was anything they could do. She shook her head not wanting to be a burden to them. And she was starting to feel a little better. She could see now at least.
Finally the doctor came and examined her. "It doesn't seem like you have a fever. How long has this been going on?"
"It just started," Glinda replied.
"In any case, I wouldn't recommend that you go back to Emerald City today. You need some rest."
"But the wizard will be worried," Glinda pointed out.
"Don't worry. We'll send notice to him about what's going on."
Glinda wouldn't have been surprised if as soon as Oscar got the message he'd drop everything and come here to check on her.
Sure enough that's what happened. By the end of the day Glinda was feeling fine and well enough to go back to the Emerald City even though the doctor had said to stay and she wouldn't leave until the next morning. She'd just come downstairs that night around 9 pm when Oscar came through the doors.
He saw her and immediately ran over to her. "Glinda, I heard you were sick!" he exclaimed sounding relieved that she was alive and walking.
"Oscar, I'm fine…"
He pulled her into his arms. "They said you almost passed out." He felt her forehead. "You feel a little bit warm."
"Don't worry Oscar…"
"Glinda how can I not worry about you…?"
"Oz! Calm down!" she exclaimed. She kissed him. "Don't worry dear. I'm fine. Trust me."
He looked at her for a moment not quite believing her. Glinda had a tendency to not say how she was really feeling sometimes. "Are you sure?"
"Yes," she said nodding. "I'm perfectly okay."
He looked at her for a moment then decided she was being sincere. "Alright."
They spent the night and the next day in the southern realm then went back to the Emerald City the next evening. A few days later Glinda was sick again. She had an off and on headache and she'd thrown up a few times. One day she spent the whole day in bed. Oz was getting very worried. He was starting to think something was seriously wrong with her. One day he finally told her she should see a doctor and she reluctantly agreed. So he called the doctor and she made a house call for them.
Oz was pacing nervously outside of the room. He was worried. What if something was wrong with her? It could be some horrible disease that was eating away at her insides. What if she died from whatever she had? What if she only had a few days, or hours, to live? He knew he shouldn't be thinking this way but he couldn't help it. The worst kept creeping into his mind.
"Oz calm down. I'm sure she's fine," Finley finally said from where he was sitting nearby.
"And what if she's not?! What if she's really sick?" He leaned against the wall feeling torn to pieces with sadness. "I can't lose her."
Finally the doctor came out. "Is she okay?!" Oscar exclaimed anxiously.
"I'll let you ask her that."
He practically ran into the room. "Glinda, are you okay?!"
"Oz…"
He ran over and sat next to her on the couch. "What's wrong dear?! You're sick aren't you…?!"
"Oscar calm down," she said. "I'm fine."
"Really?" he said relieved.
She held his hands. "I'm better than fine." A smile crept across her face. "I'm pregnant."
He felt light headed for a moment. It was finally happening. This moment that he'd anticipated for weeks was finally happening. It seemed like his voice got stuck somewhere in his throat. He didn't know what to say. "You're…?"
She nodded. "Yes, I am." For a moment, his reaction worried her. He wasn't saying anything. She started to worry that he wasn't as happy about it as she was and he didn't want a baby after all. "Oscar…you're happy, right?"
He held her hands. "Of course I am dear. I just…I'm just happy, that's all. Trust me."
A relieved smile spread across her face. "Good."
The true meaning of all of this finally hit him. At first it was just, "ha, cool we're going to have a baby, whatever." But now this was real. "Oh my god…I'm going to be a father…wow."
Glinda laughed. "First you're a wizard and a king, then a husband, now a father."
"When is it due? What's it going to be?" he asked excitedly.
"Calm down dearest. The doctors said that I must be at least a month pregnant so it won't be due for another 8 months. And we'll just have to wait and find out."
"Damn…I don't want to wait that long."
She kissed his lips. "It'll give us more than enough time to prepare."
He kissed her passionately. "I love you."
"I love you too Oscar."
Crazy overprotective Oscar. He loves that girl way too much.
