The Emerald Woman and the Little Star
Chapter Nineteen
Fiyero froze for a second and stared at the green woman in front of him then slowly took hold of her hand and lead her down the hall to their bedroom. Once in the room he closed the door and turned to her.
"What in Oz do you mean by that why would you want to leave me if you love me Fae" said Fiyero
Elphaba sighed her eyes never leaving the floor "Oh Yero I don't want us to but I think we have to for all our sakes Oz just look at me I'm green and ugly for goodness sake how can I ever be Queen one day and now Alice is in the mix who is as screwed up in the head as me thanks to her father you don't need all this trouble Yero"
Fiyero walked over to Elphaba and pulled her into his arms "Oh Fae don't ever think that you are not ugly you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met so you are green but that doesn't make a difference I think your green is beautiful and as for Alice she's a little girl who needs both of our love and for the record you will make a very fine queen"
Elphaba pulled away from Fiyero and looked at him "I knew you would say that but it doesn't change how I feel Yero" she walked across the bedroom and opened her wardrobe pulling out a small black suitcase she put it on to the bed and opened it then started to put her clothes into it.
"Fae stop being so silly" said Fiyero removing the clothes from the case and putting them back into the wardrobe.
"Fiyero put those back in the case now I have to get a move on Alice and I have a carriage to catch" said Elphaba she tried to put the clothes back into the case but Fiyero grabbed her hand he took the clothes off her and put them back in the wardrobe then pulled her close to him and kissed her softly at first then when he felt her relax and start to return the kiss he deepened it as he did so he felt Elphaba's hands start to unbutton his shirt.
"Fae what about Alice" said Fiyero.
"She's asleep " said Elphaba as she pulled his shirt off then started on his trousers.
Fiyero pulled Elphaba's top off then unhooked her bra chucking them both to the floor then stepped out of his trousers which had fallen round his ankles before pulling her into another deep kiss one hand on her back the other unbuttoned her jeans and pulled them down her green legs she stepped out of them leaving her in nothing but a pair of pale blue cotton mini briefs she walked backwards towards the bed pulling Fiyero with her when she felt her knees hit the bed she feel backwards onto it pulling Fiyero on top of her still kissing him deeply he pulled away and started to kiss down her chest making her moan in delight he kissed down her abdomen until he got to her knickers which he gently pushed down she kicked them off and let her legs fall open sighing softly.
Fiyero looked at the green woman laying below him and couldn't help but drink in her beauty he pulled off his boxer shorts and kicked them to the floor then turning back to Elphaba he kissed her again as he slowly entered her his eyes closed as he felt her walls around him tighten. Elphaba groaned and moved her hips to let him know she wanted him to move,Fiyero pulled out of her then pushed back in slowly at first then started to quicken his pace as she locked her ankles behind his back and pulled him in deeper.
Down the hall Alice had been woken up by her tummy rumbling and her bladder bursting she quickly slipped off the bed and rushed down the hall to the bathroom she yanked her bottoms down and sat on the potty chair sighing as she emptied her bursting bladder once she was finished she wiped herself pulled up her bottoms then washed her hands. Leaving the bathroom she was about to head downstairs to find Elphaba when she heard her voice coming from the master bedroom, she padded down the hall to towards the master bedroom as she got to the door she heard Elphaba's voice again.
"Oz Yero don't stop so close"
Alice stopped at the door and pushed it open she froze on the spot when she saw Elphaba and Fiyero on the bed after a second she snapped out of it and rushed over to Fiyero
"NO FIYERO NO NO STOP HURTING MUMMY" screamed the little girl.
Fiyero and Elphaba jumped apart and the sound of the little girl's voice, Fiyero jumped off the bed and pulled his shorts on while Elphaba grabbed her dressing gown from the dressing table chair and threw it on then picked up the little girl.
"It's ok baby it's ok Fiyero wasn't hurting me I promise" said Elphaba trying to calm down the hysterical child.
"No no Mummy no love game" said Alice gripping onto Elphaba with a death grip "love game hurts don't let him do it"
"Oh baby it's ok" said Elphaba "Mummy has got you it's ok"
"Don't hurt my Mummy" said Alice still holding on to Elphaba for dear life.
Fiyero watched Elphaba comforting the little girl as he got dressed, once he had his clothes back on he walked over to where Elphaba was standing still trying to calm the little girl down.
"Would you like me to take her so you can get dressed" said Fiyero. Elphaba nodded and Fiyero gently took the little girl into his arms.
"Hey baby let's go and find something for dinner" said Fiyero and he carried the little girl out of the room.
As soon as he was gone Elphaba grabbed her suit case from the floor and put it back onto the bed she quickly put her clothes into it and a few toiletries she then dashed down the hall to the little girl's room and grabbed some of her clothes, toys and books then dashed back to the master bedroom and put them into the case then zipped it up and put it into the wardrobe out of sight.
After putting her clothes back on Elphaba headed downstairs to the kitchen where she found Fiyero chopping onions but Alice was know where to be seen.
"Yero where's Alice" said Elphaba trying not to panic.
"Relax Fae she's in the sitting room colouring in" said Fiyero as he put the onions in the frying pan with a sizzle then turned to face Elphaba "you go and join her Fae I can handle the dinner"
Elphaba kissed his cheek then headed into the sitting room as she entered the room she saw the little girl's colouring book laying open on the coffee table she scanned her eyes across the large sitting room and spotted Alice at the bottom end of the room standing next to the wall with a felt tip pen in her hand drawing on it, Elphaba walked over to her and knelt down in front of her taking the pen from her hand.
"Alice no you do not draw on the walls that is naughty" said Elphaba. Alice looked at Elphaba and tried to take the pen out of her hand but Elphaba held it tight.
"Mummy let go of my pen it's mine" said Alice still trying to get the pen out of Elphaba's hand.
"Alice listen to me please you can have your pen back but you only draw on paper or in your colouring books you do not draw on the walls" said Elphaba "if I catch you drawing on the walls again I will take your pens away for along time do you understand me"
The little girl nodded and Elphaba handed the pen back to her, Alice took the pen glared at Elphaba and immediately started to draw on the wall again just as Fiyero walked into the room. Seeing what Alice was doing Fiyero walked over to her and knelt beside Elphaba he reached out and took the pen out of the little girl's hand.
"Alice you do not draw on my walls now you can clean it off" said Fiyero he stood up and walked out of the room he came back a few minutes later with a damp cloth in his hand he walked back over to Alice and handed it to her "here you go now clean that wall please"
Alice stared between Fiyero and the cloth in her hand for a few seconds then dropped the cloth on to the floor then tried to bolt out of the room but Fiyero caught hold of her and the little girl sunk her teeth into Fiyero's arm then started to scream.
"LET ME GO LET ME GO" screamed Alice thrashing about in Fiyero's arms but he held her tight he carried her over to the settee like he had seen Elphaba do and sat down with the little girl on his lap facing away from him and turned his head to the side. Alice kicked and screamed but Fiyero ignored the little girl until she started to calm down once she was calm enough he turned her to face him.
"Alice look at me please you do not draw on my walls and you do not bite me or anyone else that is unacceptable behaviour and I will not tolerate it now I would like you to say sorry please" said Fiyero his voice firm.
Alice looked at him and sighed "Sorry Fiyero"
"Good girl thank you now I'd like you to clean that pen off of my walls please" said Fiyero.
Alice slipped off his lap and walked over to where the cloth lay on the floor she picked it up and started to rub the wall. Elphaba watched the little girl for a few seconds then stood up and walked over to Fiyero.
"Thank you Yero I appreciate you backing me up" said Elphaba.
"That's what I'm here for Fae, I'll tell you what let's have dinner then once Alice is bathed and in bed we can open a bottle of wine and have a talk" said Fiyero then he raised an eyebrow "and maybe pick up where we left off earlier" he pulled Elphaba close to him and kissed her softly on the lips as he did so he felt a pair of hands on his legs.
"No Fiyero don't touch my Mummy she's mine not yours" said Alice pushing in between the adults and holding her arms up to Elphaba.
Elphaba lifted the little girl into her arms as she did so she felt Alice burying her head into her chest.
"It's ok baby I love you too" said Elphaba then she heard a rumble "I think it's time for us to have some dinner"
A while later dinner had been eaten and Elphaba was in the up stairs bathroom running a bath for Alice while the little girl stood naked watching the tub filling up, once it was full and the water cool enough Elphaba lifted the little girl into the warm water she splashed about for a bit while Elphaba watched her with a smile she then grabbed the little girl's body wash and started to wash her she was rinsing the soap off when the little girl spoke.
"Mummy why are you green" said Alice.
Elphaba stopped for a minute then turned to the little girl "I don't know sweetheart I was born this way"
The little girl thought for a moment then looked at Elphaba "Mummy if you and Fiyero have a baby will it be green too"
Elphaba grabbed a towel fighting back her tears as she wrapped it around the little girl and lifted her out of the bath.
"Fiyero and I cant have babies sweetheart" said Elphaba as she walked the little girl down to her bedroom.
As she dried the little girl off Elphaba's mind was in over drive she ran through a list in her head making sure she had packed everything she was going to need for herself and Alice while her heart was telling her how stupid what she was planning to do was she was knocked out of her thoughts by Fiyero entering the room with the cordless phone pressed against his ear .
"Fae it's my mother she says George has just called her and said he is willing to drop by on his way home and get Alice's measurements on his way home is that alright" said Fiyero.
Elphaba looked at her watch and saw it was past seven she sighed at looked at Fiyero "ok if he makes it quick" as she did so she felt a tug on her arm.
"Mummy I need my knickers on" said Alice reaching out and trying to take the pair of knickers out of Elphaba's hand "quickly please"
Elphaba looked at the little girl a puzzled look on her face "it's ok sweetheart what's all the hurry" she handed the little girl her knickers and she pulled them on while she did so Elphaba grabbed the little girl's pyjamas from the draw then turned back to her as she did so she realised why the little girl had wanted her knickers on so quickly she was standing with one hand on her bed going red in the face "Alice no baby let's go to the potty" she scooped the little girl up and dashed down the hall to the bathroom.
Once in the room she quickly pulled the little girl's knickers down and sat her on to the potty but the little girl started to cry and stood up.
"No mummy I don't want to poo in the potty" said Alice.
Elphaba knelt down in front of the little girl and held her hands "it's ok baby come on sit down for me and do your poo"
Alice shook her head and jumped onto Elphaba's lap "No Mummy don't want to poo in the potty" she started to cry.
"Come on baby it's ok it's just the same as when you do a wee wee" said Elphaba and she again sat the little girl onto the potty but the little girl again stood up and tried to pull her knickers up "no Alice sit down please"
Down the hall Fiyero had finished on the phone and was walking down the hall when he heard the little girl's cries coming from the bathroom he walked down to the bathroom door and looked into the room.
"Are you alright Fae do you need some help" said Fiyero.
Elphaba let go of the little girl and turned to him "she wants to poo but she's fighting me she doesn't want to go in the potty"
Fiyero walked over to the little girl and knelt down in front of her and took hold of her hands "what's the matter Sweetheart why don't you want to use the potty"
"No Fiyero don't need to go" said Alice pulling her knickers up.
"Alice I know you do need to it's ok don't be scared no one is going to hurt you or do anything else to you if you use the potty I promise now come on sit down for me" said Fiyero.
Alice thought for a moment she could feel the pressure in her bottom getting stronger and she was struggling to hold her poo in but she knew she was not going to use the potty she looked at Fiyero then at Elphaba "Mummy don't want to poo in the potty no no no"
Elphaba sighed and looked at Fiyero who smiled then turned back to the little girl "Alice would you like me to tell you a princess Elphaba story"
Alice smiled and nodded "yes please Fiyero"
"Ok then you sit on the potty for me and I'll tell you a story" said Fiyero. The little girl smiled and pulled down her knickers then sat down on the potty once she was sat down Fiyero started to tell her the story. Elphaba watched Fiyero as he told the little girl a story of how a brainless but handsome prince tried to get the beautiful green princess to go on a date with him he had been talking for about five minutes when she saw the little girl's eyes start to widen then she noticed her start to panic realising what was happening she knelt beside Fiyero again and gently took hold of the little girl's hands.
"It's ok sweetheart" said Elphaba.
"No Mummy no don't want to" said Alice and she tried to stand up. Elphaba quickly sat the little girl back down and started to rub her back.
"It's ok darling you're ok let it come baby" said Elphaba after a few seconds she felt the little girl relax and then heard a soft thud before a smell filled the bathroom "Good girl baby I'm so proud of you, are you finished"
"Yes mummy" said Alice holding her arms up to Elphaba.
Elphaba lifted the little girl off of the potty and handed her some toilet paper once she was clean and had her knickers back on the little girl turned to Fiyero and held her arms out to him smiling he scooped the little girl up and felt he rest her head on his shoulder.
"You tired darling let's go and get your pyjamas on" said Fiyero "I've got her Fae you empty the potty and we will meet you down stairs"
He carried the little girl down to her bedroom and sat her down on the bed, grabbed her pyjamas and helped her put them on once she was dressed Alice looked at him.
"Teeth Fiyero" said Alice slipping off the bed and out of the room he followed after her and smiled when he saw her standing in front of the bathroom mirror brushing her teeth when she was finished she smiled at Fiyero "sleep now"
"Sorry baby I know you are tired but we have to go down stairs for a little while" said Fiyero. Alice started to cry again and wrapped her arms around Fiyero's legs, he scooped her up and held her close rubbing her back "Hey darling don't cry it's ok" he carried the little girl downstairs to the sitting room where he found Elphaba waiting with George who was standing with a measuring tape around his neck. He tried to put the little girl on her feet then realised she was half asleep he looked at Elphaba and she stood up and took the little girl from him.
"Come on darling wake up for just for a few minutes" said Elphaba. The little girl's eyes slowly opened and she blinked at Elphaba.
"Tired Mummy want to go to bed" said Alice with a yawn.
"I know baby mummy will take you up in a minute" said Elphaba she gently put the little girl on her feet and nodded at George he walked over to them pulling his tape measure into his hand as he did so as soon as Alice saw him approaching her she started to panic.
"No no no no" said Alice grabbing on to Elphaba.
"It's ok baby he's not going to hurt you he's just going to see how big you are" said Elphaba but the little girl kept on panicking "ok baby ok will you let Mummy do it"
Alice nodded and let go of Elphaba she took the measuring tape from George and quickly took the little girl's measurements while George noted them down once she was done she handed back the measuring tape and Fiyero showed George out.
"Come on then baby let's get you to bed" said Elphaba lifting the little girl into her arms and carried her upstairs to her room she tucked the little girl into bed and within seconds she was fast asleep. Elphaba left the room leaving the door ajar and went back downstairs to the sitting room where she found Fiyero waiting with a bottle of wine and two glasses she smiled and sat down he poured the drinks and handed her a glass she took a mouthful of wine swallowed it then turned to him.
"I meant what I said Yero you have public duties and a country full of people that look up to you half of which hated the fact you married me and now Alice is in the picture who is screwed up even more than me you don't need that baggage" said Elphaba her eyes never leaving her glass.
"Elphaba Melena Tiggular will you stop talking such utter nonsense I married you because I love you and can't imagine my life without you in it I love everything about you even when you are being stubborn and driving me up the wall I love you so please stop these silly ideas of leaving me and let's just focus on our daughter" said Fiyero he took the glass out of Elphaba's hand and set it on the table with his own then pulled her in and kissed her softly at first then he deepened it pulling away for air he smiled at her "let's take this upstairs"
A few hours later Elphaba sat up in bed and looked at Fiyero who was face asleep a smile on his face sighing she got out of bed gently so she wouldn't disturb him and quietly got dressed into her black dress, cape and pointed hat she grabbed her spell book and broomstick then the suitcase from the wardrobe as she left the bedroom she took one last look at Fiyero and whispered I'm sorry before leaving the room closing the door behind her she dashed down to Alice's room and clicked the lamp on, she grabbed the little girl's coat and shoes from underneath the bed and gently put them on her without waking her then lifted the little girl into her arms flicked the light back off and headed out of the room she was about to head down the stairs when a voice behind her made her freeze to the spot.
"Going somewhere Fae" said Fiyero he stood with his arms folded and anger all over his face.
"Yero please we have talked about this I am no good for you why can't you see that" said Elphaba.
"Fae stop being so silly put Alice back to bed and let's talk about it in the morning" said Fiyero.
"No Yero no more talking I can't stay and let you ruin your reputation with your people I'm going to stay with Glinda for a while until I can find somewhere for Alice and I to stay permanently" said Elphaba she turned to go down the stairs again when she felt Alice being lifted out of her arms.
"Ok fine if you really insist on be so stubborn and silly you go but my daughter is staying with me" said Fiyero.
