" I love you , DG." Cain said weakly. He saw Elphaba flinch. DG was getting to her. Good girl.
Elphaba slowly worked her way to exit the tent. She didn't know it had started raining. As she exited. She collapsed in pain. Cain's adreniline rushed and he crawled to her side. " Let DG have control or you both will end up dead!"
" No!"
Cain touched her skin it felt like fire. The rest of the group came over to them quickly. Helena grabbed a blanket and covered Elphaba/DG.
" Dad ,you've been shot!" Jeb screamed.
" Yeah I kinda noticed that son." Cain said.
Jeb looked at Elphaba. " She shot you ?! Twice! Raw's village isn't far from here. I'll bring him here. Try not to die." Jeb walked over to Elphaba and picked up his dad's gun. He hit her over the head with it , knocking her out. " Sorry. Glitch tie her up. Helena can you help my dad?"
Helena nodded yes. Jeb went off to get Raw.
" Glitch bring her to my tent. Helena help me to my tent. I... I can't leave her." Cain whimpered.
Guilt overwhelmed Helena. " Mr. Cain ,I'm sorry. Yero's my father and Elphaba's my mother. I just wanted my mama. But the love in your eyes...I'm sorry for my role in this.."
Cain's face hardened. " Just help me to my tent. We can talk later."
Helena helps Cain up. " Kiss her. It'll weaken the spell. You might get DG back for awhile."
" Thank you.Can you hold me up to her? Glitch ,wait ! Bring her here."
Glitch listened. Her brought her over. Although in pain he leaned and kissed his future bride. He knew it worked. Her skin began to cool down. Slowly his adrenliane left and Cain passed out.
He woke up in his tent. He knew he had been healed. He looked over and saw DG's sad eyes. She looked away. He got up and took his razor out. She had been tied up.
" I shot you and..."
" What we did by the water was heavy making out but I made love to her. I'm sorry for cheating I thought it was you."
She leaned into his body and gently pushed him down. " I'm sorry you got shot. Is there any way I can make it up to you?"
He rolled her over. " Just hold me and I'll hold on to you." She hugged him tightly.
" You slept with her?' Oops. She didn't remember. He felt her body tighten but not pull away.
" I'm sorry. Really sorry. I'm not happy that the first time we... that she was in control. I couldn't have known ,we had never...I'm so sorry." Cain's voice was pained. She could tell he was hurting too. She cried in his arms until she fell asleep. He stayed awake holding her and caressing her.
He slowly drifts off to sleep. He's surrounded by mist. He sees a blonde figure approach. Adora. " Hello ,Wyatt. I'm here to guide you to DG. Your both being cleansed. Reborn so you both can fulfill your destinies and she is your destiny. We had our time and I wouldn't trade it but your second life needs to start and quickly. Time is running out."
" Cleansed. Reborn?"
" Subtle never worked with you. Bluntness or nothing. Your bodies are...basically becoming virgins again. You'll remember me don't worry. It's DG and your bodies that will be different. New. Sex will be new again. Elphaba and life in general has tainted both your bodies , especially that poor girl. She has such a sweet soul ,Wyatt. I knew she would be good for you. I died for you both and I'd do it again."
" What?!"
" Glinda came to me and explained both of your destinies. I had the option to stay but then who would help DG now , who would help her fufill her destiny. You and you alone can do that. " She hugged Cain. He felt different renewed. Younger even. " I've cleansed you. You must take comfort in her."
" You know something your not telling."
" Of course. " Adora grinned. " I'm dead. I know a little more than you do now."
" I loved you very much. So much."
" Too much ,maybe. I'm honored ,Wyatt, but it's time."
" Time? But I wanna catch up with you." He tried to kiss her.
" You can't kiss me , Wyatt. I love you very much. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't."
" We have to say goodbye , don't we?"
" We both have very different destinies. I 've found mine. Yours is waiting for you."
" Adora.It was an honor having you in my life. Thank you for DG. Till we meet again."
" We won't be meeting again. You must let go now. You have to give her your all or everything that's been done. Everything that could be will be for nothing. This is your happy ending ,your second chance. Take it!"
" I always fall for dramatic women."
" It's the curse you have to bear. Like DG and I enduring your 'Boy Scout Syndrome'. "
Cain laughed. " Where is she ? I have a destiny to fulfill ,oh vague one."
Adora parted the mist and there was his DG . She was asleep on a bed. So still."
Cain looked back. " What's wrong with her? "
" She's waiting for her prince to wake her with true love's first kiss."
" But I've..."
" Both of you have been reborn."
" This is like those fairytales you used to read Jeb."
" It's exactly like that. This is your fairytale. By the way Jeb's fairytale is about to come his way. Encourage him. He'll need it."
" Adora -" He looked back to her but she was gone. He walked over to DG. So pale and yet so beautiful. He felt his heart race. He really was experiancing everything for the first time. He leaned and touched her cheek. So cold. " I'm in love with you so much , Dorothy Gale." He kissed her ever so gently on the lips. He touched his lips. It really was the first time.
He watched as her skin flush. A small gasp for air. Her eyes fluttered open and a smile formed on DG's lips. " What took you so long?"
" I'm sorry. I had to let go and say goodbye. I'm here now. I'm not letting you go ever."
" Kiss me again. Glinda told me I was reborn or something. "
He kissed her again with more force and passion. Her smile showed him she was really reborn. She leaned down on the bed and motioned for him with her arms. He obligied. They lost their renewed virginity to each other and when they weren't cradling in each others arms they were making love. They were too enraptured with one another to notice the spark that went from Cain to DG's belly.Raw decided to travel with his friends and help with the troubled Helena ,still guilty and torn over everything. Helena and Glitch became closer. He always made her laugh and he found he could remember more around her. As the months passed and they traveled from village to village Cain noticed DG tiring easily. She didn't seem to be keeping food down either. She had gained weight too. Especially in the belly.
As they settled in a hotel room for the night. He guided her to the bed. " Lay down Sweetheart. I have some questions I need to ask you."
She smiled. " No we will not elope unless I know for certain my sister could never be there."
" Not that. Are not telling me something?" He patted her belly.
" Wyatt , I can't get pregnant. I know I've gained weight but...sheesh am I getting that fat?"
" When was the last you know...woman thing?"
" Wyatt! Well if you must know 3 and half months but I've missed months before . It comes with having a messed up system."
" But you were reborn ,Sweetheart. My scars from bullets and fighting wars are gone. I feel like I did when I was 20, heck better. I think were having a baby! " Cain said and smiled like he never had smiled before.
DG didn't smile. " Wyatt , don't get my hopes up. Please. We'll see someone tomorrow but no baby talk until then. I couldn't handle getting excited over a baby then having it dashed."
Cain laid next to her and held her. She closed her eyes. He gently rubbed her belly. " I know your in there. I'm your daddy." He whispered.
DG groaned. " Damn it!" She got up and stormed to the door. She turned back to him. " Well come on ! We're gonna wake up Raw! I'm not gonna get all emotional over you talking to my belly. I won't be able to sleep."
Cain smiled and followed her thinking why didn't he ask Raw in the first place. DG knocked on Raw's door . Raw opened it. " Yes pregnant."
" Wow your really are a great seer." DG said.
" Yes but you loud. Heard yells. " Raw replied. Cain was grinning from ear to ear. Cain grabbed her and kissed her. Raw smiled. " Babies healthy."
They stopped kissing. " Babies?"
" Two. same gender. Won't tell gender. Night. " Raw grinned and closed his door.
" Wow I have a power egg and you have super sperm. Babies . Two. I went from not being able to carry babies to carrying twins." DG started get emotional. " Oh Gods I am pregnant , I'm getting hormonal. Twins!" She hit him. " I want the epidural now!"
" What's an epidural?"
" I was really, really hoping you wouldn't say that. You get me pregnant and you don't have epidurals!" She started smacking him.
" Stop hitting me! I thought we we're happy! "
" We are happy! I'd just be happier with drugs during labor !"
" The have potions for pain ,Sweetie." Cain laughed.
"Well why didn't say so!"
They heard snickering. They turned and saw Jeb sitting in a hallway chair eating popcorn. " Keep fighting. My dad's getting beat up by a girl ,a pregnant girl. This is hilarious."
More snickers could be heard. Glitch and Helena. Glitch said " My platniums on DG. She's small but fiesty."
Cain raised his eyebrow . " This is coming from the twins godsfathers." Cain smiled.
" Really?!" squeed Glitch. Glitch ran and hugged Cain. Jeb suprisingly included himself in the bear hug.
Helena hugged DG. DG whispered to her. " You and Az will be godsmothers. Your family Helena. You were my daughter in my past life. I'm connected to you and proud to be. Take care of Glitch. It's obvious you two love each other."
Helena cried into DG's shoulders. " Thank you. Thank you so much."
The next day DG snuck out of her hotel room. Cain was sleeping so peacefully she didn't want to wake him. She was craving peanut butter and chocolate. She worked her way through the village.
Cain woke up to banging on the door. He answered half awake. He saw Jeb , Glitch , and Helena. All of them had such sad expressions. " Where's DG?" Cain asked after looking back and not seeing her in their bed. He began to choke up. Not again. The three looked at each other ,all not wanting to be the one to tell him.
Helena stepped up. " She went out alone and my dad cornered her... I'm sorry Mr. Cain. He...ripped out her heart."
Cain's heart stopped beating. " No! Not again! We're having babies together. No!" He collapsed to the floor.
" She's fully Elphaba now ,dad. I'm sorry." Jeb held his screaming father.
" Mr. Cain, Elphaba's carrying the twins now. I think we can use that somehow. He hasn't made her his wife. Their is still hope." Helena said.
" Hope?" Cain looked up. " Helena ,do you know where your father might take her?"
" Yes, Mr. Cain. I have a couple of ideas." Helena smiled. " DG's my family. She cared about me even after. I'm connected to who she is now not the mother I had. The love between you is so ...light . My dad's obssession is so dark. "
" Well someone get Raw and let's get going. We have a pregnant princess we need to bring home!" Cain said with a renewed sense of purpose. " I will bring you and babies home ,Deege. I promise." Cain said under his breath.
