28. Glinda's Little Secret

"Oscar, I couldn't live without. From the first dance we shared, I knew you were the person I belonged with. I could not bare to be without you. Now with Ann. We whole with each other." Theodora finished, the she grinned, "You can cry, your tears will not hurt me." "This is the first time I've seen you cry, let it out." Theodora encouraged. Oscar smiled.

"I cried more times, but moostly it were just two or three tears. When i found you, when i had flashbacks and when i saw Elphaba for the first time, i never though i would be a good father, nor have a child. That was the moment u fell i had to change, moostly for you and her, the moest importand things in my life. I fell so much responsibility's fell at my shoulder when i first looked in her brown eyes i saw myself in her, i knew i had to change." Oscar grinned.

"Oscar, I never dreamed that I would be a mother, let alone try to be. So we both have much to learn. It'll be alright. Ann will help us along." "We're not alone anymore, we have friends that truly care." Theodora exclaimed. The night wore on. They reached settled in. Each hoping that the city would be safe to enter.

"I have still much to learn my dear... But you helped me by it... You learned me to be a good person and even more and I am sure our parents are proud of us, of how we solved our problems... I learned more from you then from who ever, I ever met before... Also... What did you think Elphaba would been in first state... A boy or a girl?" Oscar grinned softly.

Theodora shrugged. "Oscar, I only dreamt the idea of our child. Yet, I thought that it would be a boy at first." She explained. She then smiled at Oscar. "You really think that our parents each are looking down on us, happy that we pulled through?" She asked.

"Yes... I know my parents... And about Elphaba... I though she would be a girl... The reason why was because I knowed that I still had much to learn about woman and girls... So Elphaba would be the good thing for it." Oscar smirked a little, knowing how fast his daughter was growing.

Theodora laughed. "I guess we're just the opposite. I only have sisters, it would be nice to have a boy." "But for you, well a girl." Theodora remarked. "I hope that you're right. If my mother were among us, I hope that she would be proud of me." Theodora softly said.

"For me it really didn't matter acctualy.. A boy would be cute.. But a girl as well... I can learn from Elphie.. And afcours.. Like by every father and daughter... She will always stay my little girl... And if someone tries to hurt or steal her from me... Then that person ends bad..." Oscar started to laugh by his own words, not knowing what to think about himself.

"The same for me if it was a boy." "No girl would be good enough for him." Theodora replied. Thinking more of her past, Theodora thought on about her mother. "I'm sure that she would love to meet you." "She would love the story of our true love." "She would love out Ann." Theodora said to Oscar.

"I am sure of that as well... I found out that people who have much memories... Or had many problems in their past moostly have girl children... But we have Ann now.. She grows up so fast..." Oscar laughed as he looked to Elphaba who started to laugh and stook her hands out to him.

Theodora looked at the sky, it was almost morning. "Oscar, we must go. It is too dangerous for us to stay away from the palace. We could be seen." Theodora explained, as she got up and held Ann.

"I know my dear... Come on... We will go back to the palace... And then we will also find out if my vision about Evanora and Glinda was true... And if Evanora really was under Evillene's controle..." Oscar said as he took his stuff, ready to leave to the palace. And that was how they walked back and more memories came through their minds, even they didn't want to leave this place ever again, but knowed it was the best for them all.

As the group walked, Frank was in awe of all his surroundings. Finley and Julie helped by pointing things out to him. "Oscar wasn't joking, this place is amazing. Frank remarked. Theodora held Ann, as she and Oscar walked in front. "Frank seems so happy to be here with you." "You are his best friend." Theodora stated, looking at Oscar.

"I though I lost him afther I said some bad thinsg to him..." Oscar continued as he held her hand tight. Soon the Emerald City came into view. Frank couldn't help but let his mouth fall open. "Oh... My... Gosh... That is Emerald City?!" He said as he almost fainted. Oscar and Theodora grinned at him as they kept walking to the ports of Emerald City.

"Frank you will love it here." Theodora added. "We have so many things to show you." Finley replied. They walked around the main road and into the hidden entrance of the city. They walked though the city and into the palace.

Once inside the search, they say down to recollect themselves after their long adventure.

"It's silence here... A little to silence... Normally Glinda already would have come for us..." Oscar said as he looked around, not sure what to think. He still waithed for a few more minutes but still Glinda didn't come, the crowd was here... But Glinda was gone. "Glinda..?" Oscar said, not sure were she could be.

Theodora asked full of fright. Oscar turned to her. "I have no idea." He replied. "We must go to the dungeon, she might be there." Theodora suggested, as they left the Foyer.

Oscar immediatly rememberd his vision and while he walked down the stairs he got more visions, untill he fell down because his head was full of it, he fell and he fell untill he was downstairs. "Glinda?!" He said as he run worried around, worried about his friend. There she sat in front of Evanora's jail just like in the vision, Glinda shocked and stood already very fast on bot of her legs again. "O-Oz... Y... You're here..."She said in a strange voices. "Oh no..." Oscar said as he fainted and fell with an hard sweg on the cold floor, he heard Theodora's voices somewere as he heard footsteps echo.

"Oscar!" Theodora screamed, flew down the stairs. She landed in front of Oscar. "Oh my poor, Oscar, you were walking so fast that you fell straight down the stairs." Theodora stated, as she picked Oscar up. "Glinda, what are they up to?!" Theodora snapped.

"Ehhh..." Glinda never acted like this she did strange, like she was hidding a secret. "I need to... Talk with you..." She said as she tried to hold her calm person in herself. Then she pointed to Oscar. "He fainted..." She said as she pointed to them and the stairs. But then she looked calm again and walked resty up to Theodora.

Theodora was stunned. She was holding onto Oscar, yet he fainted in her arms. "What do you want to tell me?" Theodora questioned, glaring at Glinda. "Glinda does not seem to be herself." Theodora thought.

Glinda glared at Oscar and back to Theodora. "It seems that Oz.. The Wizard... Can tell you as well what happend, sisther..." Theodora said as Oscar started to get his mind back. Ann stook her hands out to him, worried. Oscar grinned and rubbed her chin softly, which made her giggle a little.
