THIS IS IT! THE FINAL CHAPTER! Thank you all for bearing with me in this story, and all of my other stories!
True to her word, Galinda stayed with Elphaba for the day. While Elphaba slept, Galinda would squeeze her hand and hum to herself. Fiyero would sometimes pop his head in to check up on the two girls.
"How is she?" he asked one day.
"She's been sleeping all day," Galinda sighed.
Fiyero walked up to the bed and kissed Elphaba's cheek. The green girl stirred before slowly opening her eyes. She smiled up at the two faces looking down on her.
"Elphie!" Galinda smiled, wrapping her friend in a hug. Fiyero joined in and pretty soon, Elphaba was squished in between her two friends.
"Are you feeling better?" Fiyero said, releasing Elphaba from her prison between her friends.
Elphaba smiled and nodded. She felt much better. Fiyero wrapped her in his arms again and kissed her forehead.
The years past by quickly. Nessa came to Shiz in Elphaba's third year. Elphaba graduated at the top of her class, with Galinda and Fiyero by her side.
Fiyero pulled Elphaba aside the day of their graduation. But that wasn't what surprised Elphaba. What surprised her was when Fiyero dropped down on one knee and pulled out a small, black box.
"Fae, I've loved you ever since I first saw you," Fiyero began. "Will you marry me?"
Elphaba's mouth was dropped open and her eyes were wide. Fiyero bit his lip, hoping that he wasn't being to bold with her.
"Please?" he asked politely.
A smile soon lit up Elphaba's face and she jumped into Fiyero's arms, kissing him.
"I'll take that as a 'yes'?" Fiyero asked, gently pulling away.
Elphaba smiled and nodded.
"YES!" a voice exclaimed from behind them.
Fiyero turned around and saw Galinda running up to them. Galinda immediately tackled her friends to the ground.
"What's going on?" Nessa asked, walking up to the group.
"Elphie's going to marry Fifi!" Galinda exclaimed.
Nessa squealed and joined the dog pile. She was so happy for her sister.
"This is amazing!" Galinda smiled. "We need to buy your dress, Fiyero's tux, Nessa's dress, my dress, the cake, the decorations, the church, the minister, the flowers, the photographer…"
"Galinda," Fiyero said, interrupting Galinda's rant. "Slow down!"
"When is it?" Nessa asked, leaning her head against her sister's shoulder.
"Whenever Elphaba decides," Fiyero answered, looking down at Elphaba.
Elphaba grabbed his hand and squeezed it. She wanted to marry Fiyero as soon as possible.
"As soon as possible," Fiyero said, knowing exactly what Elphaba wanted.
"This is so exciting!" Nessa said, bouncing up and down in her chair as Poppie brushed Elphaba's hair.
Nessa was wearing a light blue dress with a golden belt around her waist. Poppie's dress looked the same, only it had a purple belt.
"Is everyone ready?" Galinda asked, walking into the room. Her dress was hot pink and her hair was curled and in a fancy bun.
"Almost," Poppie said, putting the finishing touches on Elphaba's hair. "Are you ready, Elphaba?"
Elphaba nodded. She was more than ready. She wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of her life with Fiyero.
"Let's go!" Nessa exclaimed, jumping up and running out the dressing room to the chapel.
The actual wedding was very nice. Frex walked his daughter down the isle and gave her away. Fiyero couldn't take his eyes off Elphaba. Her long, raven hair flowed down her back and her pure, white wedding dress looked stunning on her. Her emerald skin was glowing. Fiyero gently slipped his hand into Elphaba's and squeezed it. Elphaba squeezed back, feeling both excited and nervous at the same time.
"I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride," the minister finally said.
Fiyero looked deep into Elphaba's eyes before pulling her into a long, passionate kiss.
Poppie pulled out three handkerchiefs and handed two to Nessa and Galinda. Nessa lightly tabbed the ends of her eyes, drying the stray tears. Galinda was bawling. She was so happy for her best friend. As Elphaba and Fiyero slowly pulled away, Elphaba looked over Fiyero's shoulder and saw Nessa trying to comfort Galinda. She smiled to herself as she and Fiyero ran out of the church.
A year past. Elphaba was living with Fiyero in the Vinkus. One morning, she found herself feeling very queasy. She slipped out of the bed, trying her best not to wake Fiyero, and ran to the bathroom. She leaned over the toilet and emptied the contents of her stomach. This took place for the next few weeks. Finally, the Queen of the Vinkus told Elphaba what was wrong; she was pregnant.
Pregnant? Elphaba questioned.
Elphaba walked back up to the room she shared with Fiyero and closed the door behind her. Fiyero wasn't there, so that gave her time to think. She was pregnant. With Fiyero's child. How was she going to tell him? She had to think fast. Fiyero could be back at any given moment.
Just as she suspected, Fiyero walked in a few minutes later.
"Hi, Elphaba!" Fiyero smiled, sitting on the bed next to Elphaba.
Elphaba looked up at her husband. Fiyero saw the concerned look on Elphaba's face and his smile vanished.
"What? What is it? What's wrong?" Fiyero asked, sitting down on the bed next to her.
Elphaba gave Fiyero a weak smile, her hand resting on her flat stomach.
"Are you sick?" he asked, feeling her forehead.
Elphaba chuckled and shook her head. She grabbed Fiyero's hand and placed it on her stomach.
Fiyero gave her a confused look, still not catching on. He saw Elphaba's lips slowly curl into a smile and he understood.
"You're pregnant?" he asked her, also smiling.
Elphaba nodded. Fiyero was so happy that he picked her up and spun her in the air.
"Oh, Fae, that's wonderful!" Fiyero exclaimed, returning Elphaba's feet to the floor. "Hi there, little one," Fiyero cooed to her stomach.
Elphaba rolled her eyes. Fiyero thought that he was so funny sometimes.
"I love you," Fiyero whispered.
I love you, too, Yero, Elphaba sighed, melting into Fiyero's embrace.
That's it! Hope you all enjoyed that! :-)
