A/N: Chapter 13 is here! I think it will be from the next chapter that the alternate endings happen... Don't hold me to that though!

In case some of you don't have me on Author Alert, I just wanted to let you know that I posted a Legally Blonde: The Musical oneshot last night. I've very quickly fallen in love with it, and just had to write something! It's called 'So Much Better Than Before', so go check it out! ;)

Hope you like this chapter! Ps. Just wanted your opinions on whether this story should be raised to an M rating... I checked the guidelines but still wasn't entirely sure, based on the last part of this chapter... But let me know if you think it should stay as T or go up to M, thanks!

Throughout the train ride, both Elphaba and Fiyero slept easily, soothed by the consistent rocking motion of the train. Elphaba was curled into Fiyero's side, her head on his shoulder, with his arm her shoulders. They made a picture perfect couple.

They slept until the conductor came passed announcing that they were just pulling into Center Munch Station. Blearily, they rubbed their eyes and grabbed their bags, stumbling off the train into the bright sunlight. As before, Fiyero took hold of Elphaba's bags as well as his own, taking the green girl's right hand in his left. Elphaba protested slightly but was silenced with a 'Shut up, Elphaba' look from Fiyero.

Contentedly, the couple walked hand in hand towards Colwen Grounds, the huge building easily visible next to its meagre surroundings.

"Wow," whispered Fiyero, his eyes wide at the size and splendour of the Governor's house.

Elphaba laughed. "It may look nice Yero, but when you meet the people that live here, you'll end up thinking differently."

She finished saying this just as they arrived on the door step. She knocked with her free hand and waited, as she did not have a key anymore. The door opened slowly to reveal a pretty girl in a wheelchair: Nessarose Thropp.

"Nessa!" exclaimed Elphaba. "It's so good to see you!" She leaned down and wrapped her sister in a hug, whispering in her ear, "I've missed you."

Nessarose smiled at her. "It's good to see you too, Elphaba. College suits you, you look healthier than you used to."

Elphaba and Fiyero exchanged a quick glance, trying to suppress smiles. They knew full well the reason why she was looking better. It was the pregnancy, giving her a healthy glow.

"Thanks Nessa," replied Elphaba. "This is Fiyero, my boyfriend of six months. Yero, this is my younger sister, Nessarose, as you already know."

The two shook hands politely, Nessa looking slightly disdainful but amazed that her sister, who was green, was able to get a boyfriend and keep him for so long.

At that moment, Frex entered the foyer. "Hello, Elphaba," he said stiffly.

"Hello, Father," she replied. "This is Prince Fiyero Tiggular of the Vinkus. Yero, meet my father, Frexpar Thropp, Governor of Munchkinland."

Fiyero held out his hand, Frex grasping it tightly and shaking hands with the Prince.

"Welcome, Your Highness. I trust my daughter has informed you of the conditions I set for your stay with us?" inquired Frex, more politely than he would have if Fiyero was just some boy, not the Prince of the Vinkus.

"She has, sir. And please, call me Fiyero," he replied pleasantly. Elphaba was so proud of her boyfriend. She wanted to just escape somewhere with him, perhaps outside in the gardens, but Fiyero was being polite and pleasant, just like she should be too.

She tuned out the conversation for a bit and let her mind wander randomly, but was brought back to reality by Fiyero tapping her on the shoulder.

"Hmm? Sorry, I guess I was daydreaming... Did I miss something?" asked Elphaba vaguely.

Fiyero stifled a laugh. "Your father just suggested that you go and catch up with your sister for a bit, while we chat a bit more. There's something I'd like to talk to your father about."

Elphaba stared at him, widening her eyes in shock. Fiyero knew what that look was for, and shook his head minutely. Elphaba breathed a small sigh of relief. She had thought for a moment that Fiyero was planning to tell her father about their baby. So it was something else then. That was fine with her.

"Sure. Have fun!" Elphaba winked, drawing him in for a quick hug.

He whispered in her ear, "You okay baby?" She nodded at him, smiling, aware of their audience. Frex cleared his throat loudly. They broke apart and Nessa began to wheel away towards her bedroom, motioning for Elphaba to follow.

Frex led Fiyero to his study, closing the door behind them.

"So, Fiyero, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?" asked Frex, opening the conversation.

"Well actually sir, I wanted to ask you for... Elphaba's hand in marriage," replied Fiyero nervously. "I love her so much, and even though we've only been together for six months, I feel like I want to take the next step and propose to her." He was unnerved by the Governor's silence, but sat still and quiet once he finished his short speech.

"So, you want to ask my daughter to marry you?" Frex double checked, making sure he had heard right.

"Yes, sir."

"Well, I suppose so..." sighed Frex, knowing he didn't have much of a choice. He knew his headstrong daughter well enough to know that even if he forbade them to marry, she would go off and do it anyway. "But this doesn't change my conditions, young man," he warned.

"Of course not, sir. Thank you," replied Fiyero, somehow managing to keep his happiness and excitement in check, at least until he left the room.

As soon as he had exited Frex's study and shut the door, he punched the air silently, a huge grin on his face, and went to find Elphaba.

"So how are you liking Shiz, Elphaba?" asked Nessa, lying beside her sister on her bed. She had missed this, when Elphaba lifted her out of her chair and they lay side by side on the bed for hours.

"It's great, Nessa. I love it. My classes are great, and I have an amazing best friend, Galinda." For a moment, Elphaba frowned, thinking about her best friend who was currently on her way home to Gillikin, alone. Elphaba knew that Galinda wouldn't have a great summer, but didn't know what she could do about it, save from writing to her lots.

Nessa smiled. "And you have Fiyero, of course."

"Of course," agreed Elphaba, her slight frown disappearing at the mention of her boyfriend.

"So how did you two actually get together? Tell me the story, please!" begged Nessa.

Elphaba laughed and proceeded to tell her about the night at the Ozdust, leaving out the part about Fiyero getting her drunk. She continued on to describe their first date, again leaving out any detail. Elphaba didn't tell her sister that she and Fiyero had made love, and especially didn't tell her she was pregnant. That would have to wait a while.

Just as she was finishing up the long winded story, Fiyero knocked on the door.

"Come in!" called Nessarose.

Fiyero entered the room. "Thank Oz, I thought I'd never find you two!" he said dramatically.

Elphaba stood up and embraced him, giving him a fierce, passionate kiss on the lips.

"Elphaba!" scolded Nessa. "Behave!"

The couple laughed, and Elphaba proceeded to give Fiyero the biggest, sloppiest kiss she could manage. Nessa turned away in disgust, tutting at her sister's antics.

"Sorry, Nessa," smirked Elphaba, still wrapped around Fiyero.

"Fae, can I talk to you for a minute? Privately?" At Elphaba's raised eyebrow, he continued hastily, "Your father gave me permission just this once."

Elphaba nodded, confused and took Fiyero's hand, following him out into the garden. When they were hidden from sight, Fiyero gave Elphaba a quick kiss, then discreetly pulled a box out of his pocket and knelt down.

Elphaba's eyes widened in surprise.

"Elphaba Thropp... Fae... I love you so much and want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to wake up beside you every day, and raise our child, and hopefully more to come, with you. Will you marry me?"

Elphaba nodded, speechless and Fiyero grinned broadly as he slid the diamond ring onto the fourth finger of her left hand. He stood up and wrapped his arms securely around her waist, leaning down and kissing her softly but passionately. Elphaba, knowing they were hidden from sight, deepened the kiss, knotting her hands in Fiyero's hair as his hands moved lower to her backside. Elphaba pushed her warm body up against his, as close as it would go, feeling his hardness pressing into her groin. They were both gasping for breath but unwilling to break the kiss.

"I want you so badly right now," gasped Fiyero. "But I know we can't."

Elphaba pulled back slightly and looked at him. "Who says? I want you too. Let's just do it right her, behind this lovely bush. We'll be quick."

Fiyero was amazed. This was a wild side to Elphaba that he was yet to experience, but so far, he was really liking it.

"Real romantic, Fae, but okay," laughed Fiyero.

"Shut up Yero, I just want you in me," growled Elpaba.

They quickly ripped off each other's clothes, falling to the soft grass where they made passionate love, ignoring all boundaries. It was so different to the other times they had made love. Instead of being slow and gentle, this time it was hard and fast. Both of them left marks on each other's necks as they bit down hard to stop themselves from crying out. It was over quickly, but neither of them had ever felt more satisfied.
