Yes, everyone! Fiyero's pink. LOL! We all know he had a WONDERFUL time during the makeover!
NellytheActress: I'm going to write more. One for each month (You'll know what I'm talking about after this chapter). It's going to be longer.
TheWickedrae: Thanks! I'm just so glad people are enjoying this story.
Alright, guys! This is going to move a little quickly. That's just because I want to get to the next chapter ASAP. Please forgive me!
8 years later…
21 year-olds Elphaba and Fiyero were sitting under a tree in the Emerald City gardens. It was the same tree Elphaba used to climb as a child. She leaned her head against Fiyero's shoulder, a soft smile on her lips.
"Fae?" Fiyero asked, breaking the silence.
"Yes?" Elphaba said, snuggling closer to Fiyero.
"You know how much I love you, right?"
Elphaba giggled. "Yes. You tell me everyday."
"I know," Fiyero chuckled. "But, um…"
Elphaba stopped giggling. What was Fiyero trying to say to her?
Fiyero noticed the worried look on Elphaba's face and chose his words very carefully. "Fae…"
"What are you trying to say?" Elphaba asked, looking as through she might cry.
Fiyero quickly grabbed Elphaba's hands and squeezed them. "What I'm trying to say is that I've loved you from the moment I first saw you." Elphaba relaxed, so Fiyero continued. "And that's a really long time." He released one of Elphaba's hands and reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, black box.
"Yero?" Elphaba whispered.
Okay, Fiyero. You can do this. You got this, man! You got this! "Fae, will you do me the greatest pleasure of becoming my wife?"
Elphaba gasped. She looked beyond shocked. Even though she couldn't see, her chocolate eyes seemed to look straight into Fiyero's hazel ones.
"I… I…" Elphaba stuttered.
Please say yes! Please say yes! Please say yes! Fiyero silently begged.
"Yes!" Elphaba smiled.
"Okay, I understand if you don't want to- wait, what did you just say?" Fiyero asked, completely caught off guard.
"Yes," Elphaba repeated.
Fiyero was so happy that he pressed, no, smacked, his lips against Elphaba's, locking her in a passionate kiss. Elphaba giggled as they pulled away and Fiyero slipped the 14-carrot diamond ring onto her ring finger on her left hand.
"Thank you," Fiyero whispered into her ear, kissing her again.
"Thank you," Elphaba smiled.
"Ahem!" a voice interrupted them.
Fiyero and Elphaba pulled apart, startled by the voice.
"Father!" Elphaba exclaimed, not appreciating being watched by her father. "What are you doing?"
"I was just about to ask you kids the same question," the Wizard said. He tried to sound stern, but his voice ended up sounding light and playful.
"Um… we… we were just…" Fiyero said, shifting uncomfortably under the Wizard's fatherly gaze.
The Wizard chuckled. He stopped when he was the engagement ring on Elphaba's finger. Elphaba, feeling her father's gaze on her hand, smiled. "Fiyero proposed."
"I figured out that much," the Wizard said. Elphaba and Fiyero blushed. "I just have one question for you, young man."
"Yes?" Fiyero gulped.
"Do you promise to take care of my delicate flower?"
"Father!" Elphaba blushed.
"I promise," Fiyero nodded. "I love her with all my heart and soul."
"Good," the Wizard smiled. He started to walk away and turned back when he didn't hear footsteps behind him. "Well, what are you two waiting for? We have a wedding to plan."
Fiyero smiled as he helped Elphaba to her feet and followed his future father-in-law back into the Palace.
"Ooh, this is so ozmazifying!" Galinda exclaimed, seeing the ring adorning Elphaba's finger.
"Congratulations you two! I can't wait to have a sister. Having an older brother could be very boring sometimes," Castella, now ten, said. She had grown up over the years. Her deep brown hair now reached the middle of her back. Her green eyes stayed the same and she still had her enchanting puppy dog eyes working for her. Freckles covered the sides of her nose and part of her cheeks. Her teeth were white and straight, making her enchanting smile even more enchanting.
"Oh? How so?" Fiyero asked, pretending to be offended.
"No one to give makeovers to," Castella said simply, shrugging her shoulders.
"Ouch!" Fiyero said, pretending to take a blow. "Offended."
"Fifi, I'm kidding. I love having you as an older brother," Castella said, wrapping her arms around her brother.
"I know. Not everyone can have an older brother as ozmazifying and handsome as me," Fiyero smiled.
"You know what you're getting yourself into, right Elphaba?" Castella said, looking at the emerald girl.
Elphaba laughed. "Yes, I do."
"Good. So now, you can't come to me and say that I didn't warn you," Castella smirked.
"Don't worry, I won't," Elphaba laughed, feeling Castella jump onto her lap and hug her. She hugged the young princess back, excited to have another younger sister.
"Where's the wedding going to be?" Galinda asked, wanting every single wedding detail.
"In the Emerald City. Then Fae will move into the Vinkus with me," Fiyero said.
"Okay, good. Now, I need more details," Galinda said, clinging to every word.
"Well, would you and Nessa like to be my bridesmaids?" Elphaba asked.
"EEP! Elphie, I would love too! I'm sure Nessa will say yes, too," Galinda squealed, wrapping Elphaba in a tight hug. "Can the dresses be pink?"
"Not everything can be pink, Glin," Fiyero sighed.
"Shut up, Fifi!" Galinda hissed.
"Everything can be pink," Castella said, siding with Galinda.
"Thanks, Castie!"
"Anytime, Glin."
"Sure, the dresses can be pink," Elphaba smiled.
"Fae," Fiyero whinned.
"YES!" Galinda said, giving Castella a high five.
"Castie, would you like to be the flower girl?" Elphaba asked, turning towards the younger girl.
"I would love to!" Castie smiled.
"This is going to be the best wedding ever!" Galinda smiled, leaning her head on Elphaba's shoulder.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife," the minister said. Elphaba turned towards Fiyero and smiled. Her strapless, pure white wedding dress shimmered against the lights. Galinda had slightly curled her hair and it flowed down her back like a silky, black waterfall.
Fiyero was grinning from ear to ear as angels sang the "Hallelujah Chorus" in his head. Elphaba was finally his wife. He took her hand and pulled her in for their first kiss as husband and wife. The whole church cheered. The Wizard wiped a tear from his eye. His little girl was all grown up. Galinda, Castella and Nessa stood to the side, beaming. Fiyero and Elphaba finally pulled away and ran down the isle together. And thus begins their marriage.
Three months past since their wedding date. Elphaba was sitting on her shared bed with Fiyero, holding her stomach.
"Fae, are you sure you don't want to go back to the doctor?" Fiyero asked, concern laced within his voice.
Elphaba shook her head. "I'm fine."
She wasn't fine. Fiyero could tell. She hadn't eaten anything in a week. She was modified and cranky all the time.
"Fae," Fiyero whispered.
Elphaba moaned and slumped against Fiyero's shoulder.
"Your Highness?" the doctor asked, stepping into the couple's room.
"What's wrong?" Fiyero asked, wrapping an arm around Elphaba's waist.
"Nothing's wrong. In fact, quite the opposite. I am pleased to announce that Princess Elphaba is pregnant."
"What?" Fiyero asked, more blankly than he intended.
"Congratulations!" the doctor smiled, bowing before the royal couple and showing himself to the door.
Elphaba looked surprised, then quickly smiled. "We're having a baby!" she smiled at Fiyero.
"We are!" Fiyero smiled back, pulling Elphaba to her feet. He hugged Elphaba tight before lifting her into the air and twirling her around. "We're having a baby!" He placed his hand over her stomach and smiled.
"I heard 'baby'," Galinda said, appearing in the doorway with Castella right behind her.
"Fae's pregnant," Fiyero smiled.
"YEA!" Castella smiled, running into the room and hugging Elphaba. "Congratulations!"
"Thank you," Elphaba smiled, hugging her back.
"This is so ozmazifying!" Galinda smiled.
"You know, Glin, you're gonna have to think of more words than just 'ozmazifying'," Elphaba smiled.
"Oh, Elphie," Galinda sighed, face palming. She quickly recovered and went to hug her friend. "Congratulations. You two will make wonderful parents."
"I hope so," Elphaba said, placing her hand over her flat stomach.
"Castie, I smell cookies," Galinda said, sensing that the couple wanted to be alone.
"I don't smell -" Galinda took Castella's hand and dragged her out the door, closing it behind her.
Fiyero looked into Elphaba's eyes and saw how scared she was. "You'll be a great mother."
Elphaba gave her husband a small smile. "Thank you. I love you so much. I'm so glad you're here for me. When I need you, and even when I don't."
"Are you saying that you don't need me?" Fiyero asked, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Elphaba took him seriously and panicked. "No, Yero! I didn't mean it like that! I meant -"
"Fae," Fiyero laughed. "I know what you meant. I was kidding."
"Oh," Elphaba blushed. "I knew that."
"Of course you did," Fiyero chuckled, kissing her nose. "And I'll always be here for you."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
Remember when in the first chapter, I said this story wouldn't be long? Well, I changed my mind. I want to make this story longer. There will be a chapter for each month (So... *does math* that's 9 chapters) of Elphaba's pregnancy. I really enjoy writing this. Reviews are much appreciated!
