~A/N~ Well, I decided I wanted to change some stuff in this story (well add some stuff). Basically this starts where chapter 7 was, and the beginning of it hasn't been changed so if you think you've read it before you have :-)
Bringing Ayalynn home had been a joyous occasion. Galinda, Nessarose and Boq had all been waiting at the new family's apartment with a few balloons. After they had settled in and Elphaba had put her baby in the crib they sat in the living from and reminisced.
"Everything is gonna be different now." Galinda stared, quiet abruptly.
Fiyero felt Elphaba stiffen next to himself so he wrapped his arm tighter around her, "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"
Galinda smiled looked at the pair, "Both . . . it's kinda sad that nothing will be the same, but at the same time it's exciting! And we can all experience this adventure together!" She looked pleased at her declaration of a new chapter.
As everyone was leaving, Elphaba hugged her blonde friend tightly, "Thanks Lin."
"For what?"
Elphaba held Galinda's hand tightly, "For being you, for being there for me always."
Galinda smiled and hugged her friend again, "Always."
It was a good thing that Elphaba was a hard worker, or she would have never been able to balance school and being a mother.
Aya (as she was affectionally called) took up any free time Elphaba had, and school meant that she had to leave the house at 7:30 and wouldn't be home until 3. Then of course she had homework and studying. Luckily Galinda, Boq and Nessarose were more than willing to help out, and Fiyero could always be counted on the take care of Ayalynn when Elphaba couldn't.
By the time Summer Vacation rolled around, the Thropp-Tiggular family were in a nice routine and, most importantly, we're happy. But stressed occurred when Fiyero made an announcement.
"We're going to spend Summer in Vinkus with my family."
Elphaba nearly dropped Ayalynn, "What!?"
"After Aya was born I wrote to my parents announcing the arrival, and they insisted that we came to visit," Fiyero and a smirk playing across this face.
"They know we're not married."
"Check."
"They know that we have a child."
"And they aren't upset about it."
Elphaba shut her eyes tightly, "Do they know I'm green?"
Fiyero wrapped his arms around her and their baby, "They know, and it makes them more interested about you."
"Okay then," Elphaba sighed into her boyfriends jacked.
~A/N~ Yay we're meeting Fiyero's parents! I need a name for his mom though, something regal . . . . Please review and suggest something!
