This chapter broke my heart a little while I wrote it D: I just want to say that I'm sorry in advance.. you'll understand why. This is the last chapter.

Fae'sFlower: Glad you're liking it :) Find out what?

Elphabalover101: Yeah... thank goodness.

Elphaba'sGirl: Here you go :D

Doglover645: *cough* *cough* Yeah... I have a feeling I'm going to be on the 'Badger list' after this chapter.

tap-Violeta: Uh... yeah... *cough*

Fiyero sat, alone, with Galinda, in the hospital room. He had never met the young girl, but Elphaba had told him a lot about her. He filled a cup with water, placing a straw inside and handing it to her.

"You might want to drink this," he said with a smile.

Galinda took the drink and giggled at the bendy, pink straw. Her blue eyes flicked up to Fiyero. "You love her, don't you?" She asked, placing the straw between her lips.

Fiyero was not expecting this. His mouth open and closed a few times; causing him to look like a stunned fish. "Uh, who do you mean?" He asked, although he had a fair idea.

"Elphie." Galinda responded, confirming what Fiyero had thought. "I saw the way you looked at her. It was the way my mummy used to look at my daddy."

Fiyero teared up at the younger girls comment. He nodded his head. "Yes. Yes, I do love Elphaba," he responded.

Galinda's brow furrowed. "Why are you crying?" She asked with a, nearly annoyed, expression on her face.

Fiyero wiped a few tears from his eyes. "I'm not crying, sweety. I - I'm just sad."

Galinda was still confused. "Why?" She asked, again.

Fiyero let out a sigh. "Because, unfortunately, she doesn't seem to love me back."

Galinda raised her eyebrows at Fiyero. "Are you brainless?"

"What do you mean by that?" Fiyero asked, somewhat offended.

"Elphie obviously loves you back. I can't use most of my brain and even I can see that." Galinda replied, applying some humour. Fiyero smiled, hanging his head. A few tears fell from his eyes, causing the confused expression to return to Galinda's face. "Why are you crying now?" She asked.

Fiyero let out a small chuckle, wiping at his eyes. "Don't worry, sweety. They're happy tears."

...

Elphaba watched as the doctor examined Martha's body. She thought what Norman had done to Galinda was bad; but seeing the bruises and wounds on her body helped her realize how cruel of a person Norman really was.

"These are injuries are rather substantial, Mrs Upland. Why didn't you have them checked out sooner?" The doctor asked, applying some cream to a wound.

"I was scared." Martha whispered, shamefully. She hung her head, refusing to make eye contact with anyone.

The doctor stole a, worried, backwards glance at Elphaba. She came forward, clutching Martha's hand in her own. "It's okay, Martha," she began in a reassuring voice. "The police will be here soon and-"

Martha's head shot up. "Police? Oh, no no no no! I never agreed- if he found out I told.." Martha's mouth continued to gape open and close as her eyes looked around in panic.

"Shh, Martha, it's alright. Norman won't be able to hurt you; I promise." Elphaba said, giving the woman's hand a small squeeze. Martha's head fell against Elphaba's shoulder and she wept. Elphaba knew that there was nothing she could say at this moment to make her feel better. She had had a tough life. She lay her head against Martha's, her raven hair draping slightly over her face. "Shh, everything's going to be alright."

...

Elphaba popped her head into Galinda's room. She saw Fiyero, arched over the bed; a smiling Galinda, propped up in her bed. She let out a soft giggle. "Aren't you supposed to be the one asleep, little madame?" She asked with a small grin.

Galinda looked up at her, innocently. "I read him a story and he fell asleep." She said, crinkling her brow slightly.

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" She asked. She gave Fiyero's head a small peck, her arm placed around his shoulder. "Would you like me to read you a bedtime story?" Elphaba asked, pulling up a second seat. Galinda shook her head. "No? What then?"

Galinda thought for a while, then spoke. "Is- Is Mummy okay?" She asked

Elphaba took Galinda's hand in her own. "Your mother's going to be just fine, my sweet," she reassured her.

"And Daddy?"

Elphaba's eyes fell to the floor. "Uh, your Dad might be going away for a little while, okay?"

Galinda nodded her head, tears in her eyes. "As long as mummy's okay."

...

Elphaba had gone home that night and was now on her way back to visit Galinda. She found the correct number and pressed the door open, finding an empty room. She burrowed her brow in confusion before turning and finding a doctor. "What happened to Galinda Upland?" She asked. "The young girl who was staying in this room."

The doctor's eyes grew with sorrow. "I'm afraid Miss Upland passed in her sleep," he replied.

Tears pricked the back of Elphaba's eyes. "But, she- what happened?" She asked, a lump forming in her throat.

"We have no idea," the doctor answered. "I was taking a look at her tests and it's a miracle she came back at all."

Elphaba wiped away a tear that escaped from her eyes, her breath shaking. "Wh- where is she now?" She asked.

"I'm afraid she's already been transferred to the Morgue," he answered. "She was found by this letter though. Is your name, by any chance, Elphie?"

Elphaba nodded her head, tears now streaming down her face. "Y- yes. That's what she called me." The doctor took a letter from his pocket and handed it to her. It said her name in pink marker; glitter glued all over the front. She opened it up, reading what was inside;

Elphie.

I'm sorry I couldn't stay; Oz needed me. Please take care of mummy for me.
