Midnight Chapter 31: Valentine's

"So what do you think, Boq?"

"I think she'll love it."

"You do? You aren't just lying to make me feel better?"

"Yes! Glinda is going to be so happy that you did this."

"I suppose, do you think it's too much?"

"Oh, of course not, this is Glinda we are talking about, if anyone loves over-the-top things it her."

"Alright, thanks again for helping me Boq, with finals coming up and all I know you should be somewhere else, preferably studying."

"That's ok, I actually don't mind getting away from it for a moment."

"So you are sure she is going to say yes?"

"Why wouldn't she, you both have met each other's families and now you are going to have kids, I think she'll say yes because of that, and I think she'll say yes just because she loves you enough to spend the rest of her life with you."

"Boq, I have something I need to tell you, well maybe not you but I need to tell someone and you just happen to be standing here."

"Is this a girl problem? Because I don't really know too much about girl problems."

"No, nothing like that but, you know how I'm pregnant right?"

"Yeah."

"And you know how that kinda isn't possible for two girls?"

"Um, yeah."

"Well, the doctor thinks I should have Glinda take a test just to make sure she is the 'father' and I'm afraid that she might not be."

"Why would you say that? I mean you haven't slept with anyone else, have you?"

"…"

"Have you?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"Glinda goes away a lot and I might have been tricked or someone could've snuck in the dorm, I mean, I sleep a lot and I don't think I'd even notice if someone had, well, you know."

"So, you are bringing this up now?"

"Bringing what up now?"

"Oh! Glinda! Hey, Elphaba and I were just talking, but we are done so I'll see you later, um, bye."

"What was that all about? That guy is so weird, I mean, every ti-"

"Glinda, we need to talk."

"About?"

"I…I don't think you are the 'father'."

"What?"

"You heard me."

"But, Elphie, of course I'm the 'father', it's not like you've slept with anyone else right?"

"…"

"Right?"

"I don't know, Glinda, you go away a lot and I am not always aware of things, I might just be crazy, but I just don't know."

"Elphie, we talked about this before, I don't care where the baby came from, it doesn't matter as long as we know we love each other, and if you say that you haven't been unfaithful, then I believe you whole-heartedly because I love you."

"I love you, too Glinda."

"So what were you and Boq talking about?"

"Oh well, I want to ask you something."

"Ask away."

"We've been together for three and a half years, right?"

"Yeah."

"And we've met each other's families, true?"

"Yes."

"And I'm pregnant, correct?"

"As far as I'm concerned."

"Then there is only one thing left to do."

"What would that be?"

"Miss Glinda, I want you to marry me."

"WHAT?"

"Will you marry me? Like a wedding? And rings?"

"And spending our lives together?"

"Uh-huh."

"I must be dreaming."

"No, you aren't, we are really here and I'm legitimately asking you."

"Then yes, Miss Elphaba, I will marry you."

"Oh good, I was afraid you'd say no."

"With you being eight months I don't think that'd be such a good idea, babe."

"I suppose you are right, oh and by the way, Happy Valentine's Day, Lynnie."

"Happy Valentine's Day, Elphie."

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

Hooray! An update!
