Hello again, my dear ones. I'm so sorry for the long wait. I'm also sorry for the very short chapter. I'm not sure whether or not I'd like to continue this story, so please, review and let me know if I should/shouldn't.

Disclaimer: As you know, I own nothing.

Glinda frowned. Elphie was never one to brood on illness or weakness. It was also uncharacteristic of her to write such a short letter. Then again, she was ill. Come to think of it, Glinda thought, I don't ever think I've seen Elphie sick, physically sick, in all my years knowing her. I know I didn't. She turned the page to the back, because she had noticed that Elphie started writing her letters on the back of paper, too. Glinda guessed that at the time they had been running out of it. Sure enough, there was another letter.

Dear Glinda,

I don't understand this. How is it possible? I can't believe it. Yackle was the one who enlightened me. She actually "dropped by the cave for a chat" a week ago. I don't know how she found me, but I hope she comes more often. Though I hate to admit it, I need her help.

This is mad. It's insanity. I'm losing it. This isn't possible. When Yackle told me I nearly fainted. I'm just too old! I should have known. Why else couldn't it be treated?

But then again, how could I know? Yes, I've gone through this before, but that was a long time ago. And I wasn't even conscious. But Glinda, I'll tell you that story when I'm calmer.

It will never work. I'll never get through this alive. Of course, Yero is just bursting with happiness. He is constantly mentioning it. I don't have the heart to tell him I can't go through with it.

Glinda, how is it possible that I can be pregnant at age thirty-eight?

As always,

Elphaba

Glinda let out a small shriek of surprise, earning the stares and glares of those around her.
