Chapter 16: I promise

Fiyero was released from the hospital, later than he had hoped. The Doctors had to keep an eye out for infection, and help him use his legs again. Waiting an additional three days, since his first encounter with Elphaba when he first woke up, was hell. The days went by even slower due to the fact that Elphaba was in school most of the day and when she came to visit, he was knocked out from pain medications. Finally he was released on Friday, he felt like dancing or running a marathon. He couldn't believe that he had spent over four weeks in bed, although he was planning on spending all night in bed, but for different reasons. Unfortunately Fiyero was signed out when Elphaba was in class, and he had made his own way back to his private room. Fiyero sat in the old, dusty room and became overrun with boredom, so he decided to take a walk.

Fiyero ventured to where Elphaba's last class was taking place, it was one of her night classes. As Fiyero approached the building he saw his brother Chase sitting outside.

"Fiyero? What are you doing here?" Chase got up quickly, with a baffled look plastered all over his face.

"Picking up my girlfriend…why are you here?"

"Right, Elphaba, oh I was waiting for someone also."

"Who?"

"It doesn't matter."

"okay…so how do you know Elphaba?" Fiyero put her hands awkwardly in his pockets, Chase seemed too excited.

"I accidentally scared her, and she threw a flower pot at me. She's feisty but I like that about her."

"Scared her?"
"Yes, I was looking for Shiz, and I happened to run into her along the way."

"I see, when are you going home?"

"Not for another month."

"Oh."

"Fiyero, how did someone as sensitive and smart as Elphaba end up with a self-absorbed, shallow prick as yourself?"

"Excuse me?"

"Don't get me wrong here, but you don't seem like her type."

"And how would you know her type? You hardly know each other."

"I don't know, I just see her with someone different."

"Who? You?" Fiyero exploded in laughter, and patted his brother on the shoulder.

"Well…I guess I just think she's great, and would like to get to know her. That's all."

"Well, maybe we can all go out for dinner tomorrow night."

"Why not tonight?" Chase furrowed his brow in frustration, for he wanted to see Elphaba.

"I'm a little busy tonight, if you know what I mean." Fiyero winked in an innuendo manner. Chase looked to the ground and sighed.

"Tomorrow night it is then."

"Look man, I don't want you to get the wrong idea about me. I do love her, okay."

"Sure."

Chase picked up his bag he had brought with him and headed off to his hostel in which he was staying.

The night was coming to an end, Fiyero was burning with desire over the past three days for Elphaba's body, in which tonight he would finally experience being one with her once again. Sweat burned Elphaba's skin, as Fiyero moved faster against her quaking thighs in a rhythmic motion. Fiyero's was perspiring as well, the friction between both of their bodies had made the room's atmosphere smoldering. The absence from each other had created a yearning, in which both would be satisfied tonight. Elphaba cried out in ecstasy, which just urged Fiyero keep up his pace. Elphaba trembled as Fiyero groaned, he knew he was coming to a conclusion. "Don't slow down…" Elphaba whispered breathlessly into his ear, he obeyed. Until finally both of them reached their climax and collapsed, as though it was well rehearsed. Fiyero rested his head on her breasts, panting. Elphaba ran her fingers through his hair, as he lifted himself up and pulled out of her slowly causing her to shiver. He positioned himself so that he was laying beside her now, he gathered her up in his arms.

"Was it worth the wait?" Elphaba finally spoke.

"Every minute."

Elphaba frowned slightly and started to get up, Fiyero held her arm to stop her. But she forced him off and continued to get up. She grabbed a blanket from the floor and wrapped it around her body.

"Fiyero there is something I need to tell you…"
"Please let it be that you want to have sex again…soon" He made a pathetic sexy face and bite his bottom lip playfully.

"I'm serious Fiyero…" Fiyero's face went back to normal from the tone of her voice.

"What's wrong fae?" His mind was now filled with confusion and discontent.

"I've been waiting for a perfect time to tell you, it's just I can't. This is as good of a time as I'm going to get."

"You're making me nervous Fae. Tell me."

"oh I can't." She put her hand to her mouth, plunked down on the floor and curled her body up. Fiyero grabbed his robe and covered himself as he made his way to her. He kneeled in front of her and cupped her chin with his thumb and index finger.

"Please, you can tell me anything."

"You'll leave me, I know you will."

"Elphaba! You're going to make me go insane! Please tell me."

"I'm Pregnant, ok there you have it."

"What?"

"I'm pregnant…" She whispered the second time.

Fiyero's eyes drew away from hers, and focused on her shoulder.

"What? I mean when did you find out?"

"Four weeks ago."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Fiyero couldn't control his rage towards her, and got up to leave, but stopped at the door.

"Where are you going?" Elphaba screamed. "You're going to walk on me?"

"Elphaba! Please, you can't just drop this kind on information on me and not expect me to be apprehensive."

"Fiyero, I thought you would be supportive."

"Elphaba, I don't know how to deal with this. I mean I'm not even done school, my parents haven't even met you yet. We're not married."

"Your acting like this is all my fault, you're the one with the raging hormones. It is more your fault than mine, you're the one who wanted it in the first place!"

"Don't act like you didn't want me to."

"I didn't want you, I wanted nothing to do with you before your birthday weekend!"

"Don't say things you'll regret."

"Maybe, if you weren't such an asshole about this than I wouldn't!"

"I'm not being an asshole, I'm just upset!"

"How do you think I feel? I mean I have to carry this baby, which wasn't expected in the first place. Now the father of this baby, is going to walk out on me."

"I'm not walking out on you…I just don't know what to do."

"I don't either, that's why we need to help each other through this. Fiyero, this is a blessing not a curse."

Fiyero suddenly calmed down and looked at his distressed Elphaba. He thought back to what his brother had said earlier. "Fiyero, how did someone as sensitive and smart as Elphaba end up with a self-absorbed, shallow prick as yourself?" It then hit him that, he hadn't even take into consideration of how Elphaba must be feeling.

"Fae…I'm sorry. I can be so selfish."

"Apology accepted, just don't leave me…I need you." Fiyero rushed over to her to hold her again.

"I promise."
