Lyndalion16 Yay for cliffies! Thanks!

For a moment, the five people just stared at each other in shock, then slowly Glinda reached out to touch Elphaba's shoulder, as if to make sure she was actually there.
"Elphie?" she whispered.
Elphaba nodded slowly.
"But you are, you were, Elphie, you're dead!" stammered Glinda.
"I, I wasn't dead, exactly, I was just…burned I suppose you could say…by the water." Replied Elphaba.
"And, and you! Fiyero! You died ages ago! Where have you been?" said Glinda as she turned to him.
"I was the scarecrow. Elphie here," he said as he draped an arm around his fiancé's shoulder "turned me into one while trying to save me. But I love her anyway!"
"Why didn't you tell me! I turned Boq back into a man in a matter of minutes when he told me about him really being a human, not a tinman!"
"So you were the tinman then?" said Fiyero, " I had my suspicions, but I couldn't voice them without revealing myself."
"Yeah, I was, but I never dreamed that you were the scarecrow!" replied Boq.
"Now that we've established where we've all been, why are you here, and with her!" Elphaba asked, spitting out the last word with disgust.
"Well," replied Glinda, ignoring Elphaba's tone, "Dorothy needed to see Liir about… something."
"What does she need to see my son about?"
"Your son? Liir is your son? I didn't even know you had a son, although unless my eyes deceive me, you will have a son or daughter in a few months." Replied Glinda, gesturing to the slight bulge under Elphaba's dress.
"Yes, Liir is my son, although I don't remember carrying him, but I can explain that later. And if my guess is right, I'm not going to be the only one with a baby soon."
"Well, no, you won't be," replied Glinda.
Just as she finished the last sentence, Liir walked into the room. When he saw the three people at the door, he stopped.
"Liir," said Elphaba kindly, "Would you please come here and tell Miss Gale that you have no business with her so that she can leave!"
"No, I won't tell her that I have no business with her, because I do." Said Liir defiantly.
"WHAT!" screeched Elphaba "YOU SAW HER ONCE, ONCE, WHEN SHE CAME TO KILL ME!"
"It really was an accident, I… I would never hurt someone on purpose, and I truly am sorry about your sister." Mumbled Dorothy.
"I DON'T CARE IF IT WAS AN ACCIDENT OR NOT! MY SISTER IS DEAD, I NEARLY DIED, AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"
"Elphie, love, she said she was sorry, can't you try to forgive her? All this yelling probably isn't good for the baby."
"Fine, I'll stop yelling, but not because I forgive her, because I want this baby to be born healthy, like neither my sister nor I was. Now excuse me while I go throw up." After saying this she marched out of the room, with Fiyero following close behind.
"Dorothy, why don't you take Liir into the other room and tell him your news." Said Glinda.
"Well, I, can, I, do I have to right now?" asked Dorothy softly.
"You should probably get it over with soon, your secret will show soon, if you know what I mean." Replied Glinda.
"Well, alright then, come on Liir." She took his arm and led him into the other room.
After they left Boq asked Glinda, "What was that all about?"
"I'm sure she'll tell you later darling, no need to worry about it now, Dorothy is a bright girl, she'll manage perfectly well.
"Well if you're sure…"
Glinda interrupted him with a passionate kiss.
In the other room Dorothy was trying to tell Liir her news.
"Liir, remember that day, about three months ago?"
"Yeah, I remember."
"Well, something happened then, and… and… well, I'm, I'm"
"You're what?"
Dorothy, who was never really one to put things off, said finally. "I'm pregnant, Liir."
"Congratulations!" replied Liir as he moved forward to hug her.
She pushed him back. "No Liir, don't you understand? This is your baby! That night, well, it's yours!"
"Huh?"
"Oooh, don't you know anything?" replied Dorothy angrily, "What did you think you were doing, that night?"
"I was just doing what some soldiers did to some women from the village when I was younger, it made them happy, and I just wanted you to be happy, too." Replied Liir, completely oblivious to the fact that he was making a fool of himself.
"You, you really don't know what happens to make women, like me pregnant?" asked Dorothy just as Fiyero and Elphaba walked in.
"Like who pregnant?" asked Elphaba. "Who is pregnant? Besides me and Glinda?"
"Well, love, it certainly isn't me." Said Fiyero teasingly.
"I know it isn't you, you idiot! The only other person in this room who could possibly be pregnant, besides me is you." She said, pointing at Dorothy. "Well, are you or aren't you?"
"ANSWER ME!"
"I… I am," whispered Dorothy, cowering in fear.
"So why are you here of all places? And why are you bothering my son about it?"
"Ummm, Elphie, she might be implying that Liir is…"
"Is what, Fiyero, the father!" It took a moment for that to sink in and then, "Oh #&! He is, isn't he? Oh no!"
"I'll deal with you later!" she said, pointing to Dorothy, "right now, Fiyero and I need to have a talk with our son!"
Dorothy walked/ran out of the room.
"What were you thinking!" she shouted. "You know better than to go knock up some girl that you just met!"
"I, I didn't know." Said Liir.
"You didn't know what?"
"I didn't know she would get pregnant."
"And why not! Even if you didn't mean for it to happen, you should know that it could!"
"No, I didn't"
"Elphie let me handle this," said Fiyero. Elphaba started to protest, "Elphie, the baby remember?"
"Liir, son, is it true you didn't know that, err… intimate relations could make a woman pregnant?" asked Fiyero calmly.
"It's true." He replied.
"So, how did you know how to, uhh… do it?"
"When I was younger some soldiers came, and I would sneak out whenever I could to be with them, and well, I saw things. And then when Dorothy came, I really liked her, and the women that the soldiers were doing things with seemed really happy, so I just wanted to make her really happy, I didn't know that she could get pregnant from it."
"Alright, that's understood." Said Fiyero. "Now, do you like Dorothy?"
"Yes."
"Do you love her?"
"I… I think so."
"Are you willing to spend the rest of your life with her."
"Umm, I'm pretty sure I do."
"Well then, it's settled, you can marry her."
"What?"
"You will marry her. After all, it's because of your ignorance, though I realize it wasn't your fault, that she is pregnant, and she needs someone to support her, and you will be that person."
"Okay." Said Liir weakly.
"Good, now go in that room, and explain thing to her."
As the three walked into the room, they saw Glinda comforting a weeping Dorothy.
"Ahem, Liir has an announcement to make." Said Fiyero commandingly.
Everyone turned towards him.
"Umm, look, Dorothy, I'm sorry about getting you pregnant and all, but I love you, and I will love our baby, and I hope that you'll forgive me and be willing to marry me."
"D…D…Do you really mean it?" asked Dorothy.
"Yeah, but I understand if you don't want to, I mean…"
"Oh of course I will Liir!" she said as she wrapped him in a tight hug and kissed him.
"Well, now that that's settled, why don't we go and eat." said Fiyero.
They all went into the kitchen laughing and talking.
