~A/N~ BABY TIME! And I wanted to thank everyone who suggested names, it made it alot easier!

********This chapter takes place 4 months after the previous one (and that one took place 2 months before that).********

It was and understatement to say that Elphaba wanted to be done with her pregnancy.

"I hate you Yero."

He smirked at her, "No see you really don't, because if you did then you wouldn't be pregnant right now!"

"Your proud of yourself for coming up with that, aren't you?" Elphaba smirked at him.

"Yup," he leaned over and kissed her her, placing her hand on her giant stomach, "We're going out tonight!"

She groaned, "Do we have to?"

"Yes!"

"Where?" She was somewhat willing to compromise.

He smirked and pulled her close, "It's gonna be a surprise!"

"Should I be worried?"

He only kissed her.

When Fiyero got back from a study group with some friends he walked into their house to see Elphaba sitting on the sofa reading.

"Hey you ready to go?"

She looked up at him, "I don't really think that we should." She pursed her lips at him.

"And why is that?" He looked a little put out.

"I dunno, I just feel . . . odd."

He moved switched into protective mode, "What is something wrong?" He placed a hand on her stomach.

"No I don't think so . . . "

"Are you sure? Because we could always go to the doctor!"

Elphaba squeezed his hand, "Fiyero?"

He kept ranting, "And I'm sure thy wouldn't mind making sure that everything was fine again-"

"Fiyero?"

"What?"

She inhaled deeply and looked at her hand over his, "It's time . . . "

The pair had never moved so fast in his life; within minutes, Elphaba was collecting a few things for the hospital and Fiyero had ran to Galinda's dorm and informed her about the progression.

Soon after that they were in the hospital, and by the time Elphaba was is a room Galinda, Nessarose and Boq had arrived too.

Finally, when the doctor came in and told her that the baby would be coming soon, Elphaba began to panic.

"I don't know if I can do it Yero . . . " She was rubbing small circles on her stomach trying to sooth the baby.

He sat next to her on the bed and pulled her close, "Fae, you are the strongest person I know, if you can't do this then no body can."

She closed her eyes and dropped her head, "Just promise me you'll be here."

"You know I always will." The couple kissed passionately then Fiyero left to greet their friends.

The next many hours left everyone exhausted; Galinda had refused to leave, Boq had taken Nessa home (but neither had been able to sleep), Elphaba had been kept awake by contractions, and Fiyero had been to nervous to do anything but pace and comfort his girlfriend.

Finally, in the early hours of the morning, the doctor came in and announced that it was the home stretch.

Elphaba had been doing great until the very last half-hour, when the lack of sleep and pain began to catch up with her. Tears streamed down her face and each push brought a small scream.

Then everything ceased, and the silence in the room was broken by a soft cry from the new baby.

The doctor smiled and wrapped it in a blanket, handing it to Elphaba.

The couple stared down at their baby girl.

They had been silent for at least 10 minutes before Elphaba spoke, "She is beautiful."

"Just like her mother," He pressed a kiss against her cheek, "Just like her mother."

Elphaba smiled, "Ayalynn."

"What?"

"I like to name Ayalynn; it's beautiful, just like her," Elphaba gently stroked the new baby's cheek.

"I love it."

Elphaba looked up to her boyfriend, "Ayalynn Galinda Thropp-Tiggular; our baby girl."

"I like the sound of that." The look on his face was priceless as he looked at his girls.

"Thank you Fiyero."

"For what?"

"For loving me."

~A/N~ I wanted to explain where I got the name from; TheAsianWhoIsAFanzel suggested the name Aya (and how you could add things to it) and I liked adding 'Lynn' for my theatre group director Lynne (*:-)*(-:*)and Galinda is for . . . Galinda. I wanted to incorporate Nicole (Nicole Parker is my favorite Elphaba) but I could couldn't :-(.

And while I was thinking about it I wanted to say that, in my mind, Elphaba looks like Nicole Parker, Galinda like Kendra Kassebaum, Fiyero is Adam Lambert (love him!) and Boq looks like Mikey Winslow (he's the Boq understudy for the first National Tour and the one I saw performed last July!)
