Chapter 12

Secrets Always Come Out

Elphaba just stared at Lyra, who was cradling her daughter. She had just revealed the biggest secret she had ever kept. Lyra looked guilty as hell and Fiyero was well...shocked. He just found out the woman he accidentally made love to (not that he didn't want to do it), is indeed pregnant. With his child. Fiyero's male mind took a long time to process these thoughts; he thought it might be a hoax of some sort a trick that Lyra and Elphaba were playing on him, but when he saw Elphaba's expression on her face; the expressions of guilt, confusion, sadness and a hint of anger etched into her pretty emerald face. He knew it was no hoax, it was not a trick Lyra and her were playing on him and plus Lyra and Elphaba would never playa trick on him. It was simple logic honestly.

"Lyra!" Elphaba screeched and throwing her arms up to emphasis her point, "I cannot believe you said that."

Lyra still had her hands clamped, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it."

"This is not happening, this is not happening," and began hitting her forehead with the palm of her hand, "not happening."

"What's not happening?" Fiyero asked, his male mind still trying to comprehend what was happening.

Elphaba's head whipped around in a circle and turned to glare at Fiyero, "That I'm pregnant with your Oz damned child," as soon as Elphaba had said the words her hands covered her mouth, "I didn't say that."

"Fae..."

"No!"

"Elphaba..." Lyra tried.

"No, Fiyero listen to me, please forget this ever happened. Please," there was a pleading not to her voice, but her eyes pleaded with his without words. He saw the look of hurt, sadness and pleading.

But he wasn't going to forget, "Normally I'd listen to you but I love you too much to bother listening to your reasoning," his eyes widened at what he just said.

"You what?" Elphaba stuttered.

"Fiyero," Lyra said using her 'tell me the truth' voice and she glared at him.

Fiyero felt so undersized under his sister's glower, he turned to Elphaba who had wide eyes filled with...hope? And her jaw was dropped, "That I..."

"Just spit it out already because honestly I've been waiting three years to tell you that I love you!" Elphaba's eyes went wide at what she just said and Fiyero's face perked up, then she hastily added, "I didn't mean that."

Fiyero's face deflated immediately, "Oh."

"Fiyero..."

"Don't worry about it Elphaba, I just wanted to say I love you. Endlessly and probably stupidly as well," his head was slumped and his hands were in the pockets of his coat, "I'll just go now, good luck with my baby Elphaba." He walked away from the scene; each step he took became heavier and heavier and a strange damp wetness was filled within his eyes; unknown to his sister an Elphaba.

XoxoX

"Lyra?" Elphaba turned with uncertainty back to Lyra, "what just happened?"

"Um, let's recap, shall we?" Lyra paused to let the sarcasm sink in and closed her fingers around each other for effect, "I stupidly told my brother you were pregnant with his child, and might I add he's wanted a child for as long as I can remember, especially with you," Elphaba's head dropped even more and her cheeks turned a dark rosy tinge, "anyway, you confirmed that you were pregnant with his child, he told you that he loves you and you said that you love him, but then said that it wasn't true and he ran off. Okay now for me to yell at you," Lyra took a deep breath, "Elphaba, you idiot! My brother has been hopelessly in love with you for as long as I can remember and you just blew him off! Honestly Elphaba I swear if you weren't my friend and weren't pregnant I'd probably slap you."

Elphaba's hands started rubbing circles over her stomach and she could feel the small bump that lay under her dress, "I don't know what to do, I love him, but he's with Glinda."

"Elphaba, he loves you, not Glinda, You. Do I need to articulate it for you?"

"No, but why does he love me? I've always been told that I'm... unlovable."

"Does the Lion Cube tell you anything?"

"Yes, but what is that suppose to tell me?"

Lyra was rubbing her temples in annoyance now, for someone so smart Elphaba sure can be pretty dumb, "He fell in love with you then!"

"What?"

"He fell in love with you when you rescued that Oz forsaken Lion Cub and I know that you fell in love with him too. So got tell him before you lose him. Forever."

"Hey Lyra?" Elphaba asked with hesitation, "Why did Fiyero think you were a prostitute?"

"I was in love, I still am, he said he was leaving one day and that we should make every last moment to last, so we made love and Fiyero just happened to walk in and he called everyone in the whole freaking palace and he was..." Lyra choked on the last word.

Elphaba rubbed her friend's back in comforting circles, "He was what?"

"He was executed and everyone thought he took advantage of me, so I decided to become a prostitute to defy everyone's commands, now I realise that it was the biggest mistake of my life. Six years ago I met a Gillikin salesman whom I fell in love with and he loved me, so when I turned out pregnant he left me because I found out he was married. I was left heartbroken, but I pulled through it. I had the baby and I thought being pregnant was the biggest mistake of my life, but it turns out the prostitution was and that my baby was a blessing. So Elphaba hold onto those who are close to you while you can and he loves you so I suggest you go and tell him you love him too."

Elphaba didn't need to be told twice.

She better go tell him, Lyra thought as she mused on thought about being pregnant as her daughter fell asleep in the crook of her neck. Lyra kissed her daughter's forehead and walked back to the carriage, it's time my family knew the truth.

XoxoX

Fiyero sulked through The Gardens Of the Emerald City, Elphaba doesn't love me, he thought over and over again. His feet trudged along the pathways and the point of his shoes kicked the dirt. In short he felt like crap. He'd just declared his undying love to Elphaba and she had rejected him.

"Fiyero!" he turned around and saw an emerald figure running towards him.

"What?" he snapped irritably and started walking again.

Elphaba put her hand on Fiyero's shoulder and panted heavily, "Running...pant...is not good...pant...for pregnant women."

"Okay, sorry about that. What do you want?"

"I just wanted to say..." she turned him around and kissed him chastely, "I love you, so I'm sorry if I told you otherwise."

He said nothing and just stared at her wide eyed.

When he said nothing Elphaba's insides crumbled, "I'm going now."

She turned he back towards him, but before she could actually get anywhere he grabbed her wrist and pulled her in for a fierce kiss, but before she could respond, a person behind them both asked...

"Elphie? Fiyero? What's going on?"

Elphaba and Fiyero looked at each other and their eyes conveyed what they both thought, dammit.

Not my favourite. Hell I don't even like this chapter, but I'm trying to update and this is really crappy and unedited because I have to go to Sydney today. Sorry. I apologise for the sort cliff hanger ending.
