Btw, seven months have gone by since the last chapter. I had to get moving through the pregnancy!

This chapter has one 'F' bomb in it.

Chapter 17: Three is a crowd

Elphaba decided to stay in her room to have some time alone, she hated to admit it but she was hiding from Fiyero. After telling Fiyero about the baby, he was surprisingly clingy ever since she told him and he accepted the truth. Fiyero found himself watching Elphaba's every move, he was becoming over protective. Although, Elphaba was grateful that he cared greatly for her and the unborn child, he was however becoming a nuisance. Elphaba flipped through a book while lying on her bed. It had grown to be hard for her to read with a larger stomach than she was ever used to. She then gave up and set the book aside and idly began massaging her stomach. Elphaba jumped when she felt the baby kick, she smiled admirably, for she had now grown rather attached to her unborn baby. Elphaba heard a creaking noise come from the door and immediately looked up. Elphaba expected to see Fiyero or Glinda, but it was Chase.

Elphaba struggled to get to her feet. "Chase, what are you doing here?"

Chase rushed to her side and supported her forearms and lifted her up, she was still rather light. "I'm back, I have enrolled here at Shiz, and Fiyero, you and I didn't ever have dinner!"

"That's wonderful, we missed you."

"I can't begin to tell you how much I missed you."

Elphaba looked at him peculiarly, as Chase's eyes drew to her oversized stomach. "Oh…that's different."

"Surprise."

"Is Fiyero the father?"

"I'm afraid so." Elphaba winked in his direction, only to receive a frown. "What's wrong?"

"I take it Fiyero has not told our parents about this."

"No, he hasn't yet."

"Elphaba, you should be married to him."

"Why?"

"He could be stripped of the crown, for impregnating a commoner. They will make him leave you and the child will be a bastard."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"You have the right to know. Fiyero is foolish, it's very disconcerting the way he goes about his mindless existence! I would have married you the moment I locked eyes on you, regardless of the baby."

"Chase…" Elphaba reached out to grab his hand, he anxiously accepted.

"Elphaba, I love you."

"I know…"

"I came back to woo you away from Fiyero, because he doesn't deserve you."

Elphaba shook her head, but let him continue.

"Now, you are carrying his child. I have no chance and I feel as though I can't live, as long as you're mine." resentment built up in his brown smoldering eyes.

"Never in my life, did I ever think that one let alone two Vinkus Princes would be seeking my love." She let go of his cold hands and placed them in her lap. "Nevertheless my dear Chase, I only love one Vinkus Prince, and that is Fiyero. I can't be with you" Chase lowered his head and nodded as he silently wept.

"You say you wont…but you will."

"No I wont."

Elphaba stood up and strode towards the door and opened it. Chase moved closer to her, and shut the door behind her. He had her between himself and the door. Elphaba's breathing began to speed up as he caressed her smooth emerald skin. Chase then forced his body against hers extracting a whimper from her mouth. Elphaba tried pushing him away but he his strength over powered hers, he restrained her by pining her hands against the wall. He clasped his lips vigorously on hers. Elphaba's lips went firm as he tried to loosen them with his tongue. Elphaba started to struggle away once more; she would not let herself be a victim of his violent crime. Chase pulled at her hair in which Elphaba let out a cry, he then threw her on the bed. Which was an easier way to restrain her as he compressed her with his body.

"Get off me!" Elphaba pleaded.

"You had to go to hard way Elphaba, I'm not leaving this room till I am satisfied."

"You're sick!"
"Just love sick, my dear…"

"I'm seven months pregnant, with your brother's baby." Elphaba beseeched to Chase, but he wouldn't give in. She tried kicking him but his legs held hers down. She was stuck. Her eyes went wide when she saw a recognizable figure walk through the door.

"Fiyero!" A blood-curdling scream flew out from her mouth.

Fiyero's face had become beat red with anger, Chase looked up to see his infuriated brother. He immediately jumped off Elphaba, but Fiyero cornered him.

"Fiyero, please…I can explain"

"Explain why you were just raping my girlfriend!" Fiyero forced his right fist against Chases nose. Elphaba heard a slight snapping sound as his nose broke; she winced slightly. Chase's hands flew to his nose as blood came streaming down his face. Fiyero's rushed to where Elphaba was lying, while Chase was careworn with pain.

"Elphaba! Are you okay, did he hurt you?"

"Not yet…"

Once Fiyero was confirmed that Elphaba was okay, he turned his attention back to Chase.

"You sick fuck!"

"Look, Fiyero. I didn't even do anything."

"You clearly were about too. Look at her! She is scared for her life." Fiyero scrutinized and Chase looked over to Elphaba, sadness filled his eyes.

"I…"

"Get out, Sibero!"

"But…"

"Get the hell out of here! I don't want you ever near her again. You got it? I don't want you looking, talking or touching her ever again!"

Chase gathered himself up and walked out the door without a single glance in either Fiyero's or Elphaba's direction.

"Elphaba…I'm so sorry."

"It's okay…"

"No, it's not okay. I shouldn't leave you alone. This is all my fault."

"I just don't know what came over him…I mean he was all decent then he turned into a careless monster."

"Sibero has always been like this. When he can't get what he wants."

"I'm just glad you're here. I was really scared."

"I'm sorry Fae, It's all my fault."

"Would you stop saying that? It's not your fault."

"I never want this to happen again. You mean the world to me. This event has opened my eyes to the fact that I never want to lose you, and I would die without you." Fiyero got down on one knee, traditional proposing style. He held her hands tightly.

"Will you marry me?"
