A/N: Alright, alright, stop whining! Just kidding! Thanks for all the great reviews and here's the no-longer-a-one-shot story.

"Your…daughter?" Glinda asked, stunned. Kada was staring at her in awe.

"Yes, that's right, my daughter." Elphaba snapped. Glinda was immediately reminded of their school years. "But now, it's time for her to go back to bed. If you'll excuse me."

"But Mummy! I wanna…" Kada whined softly.

"Kada, I'm sure that Lady Glinda would love to stop by tomorrow and play." Elphaba cut her daughter off. Glinda nodded.

"Kada, I'll stop by tomorrow afternoon and we can have a play date." Kada smiled brightly. Elphaba bent down to pick Kada up and carried her into her room. Glinda sat awkwardly on a chair in Elphaba's sitting room, waiting for her return.

"Now, sweet girl, you need to go to sleep. You heard Lady Glinda, she'll be back tomorrow. Now, I'm going to talk for her a bit and you need to go to sleep." Elphaba said gently.

"Ok, Mummy." Kada said. Elphaba left the room again. She saw Glinda sitting stiffly in her sitting room.

"Go ahead, Glinda." Elphaba said softly, sitting across from her.

"Elphaba, you have a daughter? Who's the father? Where have you been all these years?"

"When I left you in the Emerald City, I went underground. I joined the Resistance, and our goal was to take out the Wizard." Elphaba began slowly. Glinda nodded. "About five years after I left, I happened to run into Fiyero. I'm sure you remember him. As much as I wanted to disappear, again, he followed me and made me talk. We began an affair."

"You know, I ran into him quite a few years ago. I remember him being so happy, and I was certain he was with someone. He wouldn't say who, but I know now." Glinda trailed off. Elphaba's eyes filled with tears.

"I found out I was pregnant a few days before I was supposed to do a major target. But I froze that night, there were children about. All I could think of was 'what if this hits a child? What if my child finds themselves in a situation like that?' And so I ran. I ran back to my small flat, and when I got there…" Elphaba buried her face in her hands, and Glinda was worried to here sobs from her old friend. She flew to Elphaba's side, laying a hand on her shoulder.

"Elphie?" Glinda started. Elphaba looked up.

"He must have followed me that night. He must have seen me running, because he headed over to my flat. When he got there, he was ambushed, I can only assume by Gale Forcer's. When I got there, there was blood, everywhere. His opera cloak was on the floor, covered in blood. He was dragged out; you could see the trails on the floor. I ran from there too. I went to a Mauntery. I fell into a coma, of sorts. When I woke up, she was born, and I fell in love again. I couldn't leave her anywhere. So, I set out for somewhere safe."

"Frottica?" Glinda asked gently.

"I had remembered hearing it somewhere. I guess I know where now. You." Elphaba said quietly. Glinda nodded. "I figured the farther away from the Emerald City, the better for Kada's safety."

"Elphaba, I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry for all that you've been through. But you've done something amazing, my dear. Look at your daughter. She's beautiful, smart and healthy." Elphaba nodded. "Elphie, I think there's something that you need to know, though."

"If it's something from the Emerald City, I don't want to hear it. I don't want to know anything about the Wizard." Elphaba said.

"No, Elphaba, it's not about any of that. I thought you might want to know that, um…" Glinda trailed off.

"What, Glinda, I haven't got all night, you know." Elphaba snapped.

"Elphie, Fiyero's alive." Glinda said softly. Elphaba registered Glinda's worried gasp before she collapsed in a dead faint.
