Chapter 8: Elphababy?
Disclaimer: still don't own it
One day about two months after the wedding of Elphaba and Glinda, Glin woke to find Elphaba in the bathroom. Tiptoeing out of the room, she decided to investigate.
"Elphie? Whats going on?"
For the past couple weeks, Elphaba had been in the bathroom far longer than usual, especially in the mornings. She came out pale and shaking. Now, even though Glinda was speaking to her, she received no reply. However she could hear awful gagging noises…what in Oz's name was Elphaba doing? It sounded like she was choking.
Inside the bathroom, Elphaba had her head over the sink. She was throwing up and didn't feel well. Not even Chistery's medicines, which were very powerful, had been able to shake this sickness. Finally, the spasms ceased and Elphaba called out.
"Glin? I don't feel well, can you come in here?"
Glinda cautiously entered the steamy bathroom and gasped at the sight of Elphaba.
"Darling? Come on lets get you to bed!"
Picking Elphaba up, she thought, Thank Oz Nissa isn't awake! Just to prevent the inconvenience Glinda put a sleeping charm on the room as she passed. Glinda climbed into bed, still holding Elphaba, and laid her down gently. Snuggling close, both fell asleep.
Two more weeks passed and Elphaba's condition did not improve. Finally, Glinda insisted she see a doctor.
"Glinda, why did you drag me in here I'm fine!"
"Why the oz must you be so stubborn Elphaba! You're sick!"
And on and on it went until a doctor finally appeared and led the still protesting Elphaba back to an examination room.
As the minutes ticked by, Glinda lapsed into silent thought.
Oz, I am sooo glad I left Nissa at my mom's. This is no place for her. Wait why am I thinking about Nissa? Elphies sick and we don't know whats wrong. Oh my Oz Glinda shes not dying… wait what if she is?
Now Glinda was truly panicked and she began to pace frantically. Minutes felt like hours and she kept looking at the large door that Elphaba last walked through. Maybe this is what love is.
Finally, just as Glinda thought she could bear no more the door opened and the doctor and Elphaba appeared. And they were smiling.
"Glinda…. I'm going to have a baby!"
