A/N: Wow. Here it is, the last chapter! I was actually getting kind of emotional writing the end of this! This story has been going for almost four months, it's weird to think that it's finished now! Even though I started to lose interest a few chapters ago, I was still sad writing this chapter!

I don't think I'll get around to writing another multi-chapter fic this year, as I'll have a lot on my plate in the next few months, with year 12 and everything. Hopefully I'll get a few more one-shots up though! For those of you who don't have me on author alert, I posted a one-shot the other day. It's called 'Apologies' and is a SMASH fic. Does anyone here watch SMASH? It's my new favourite show, so amazing! And it co-stars Megan Hilty, who is a past Glinda on Broadway and in LA!

I hope you like this chapter and the story in general, please review! This chapter is dedicated to all those who reviewed regularly and kept me motivated, but especially to Carlie, Kelly, Bianca, Micheala, Hollie, and last but certainly not least, Shauna. These are my girls from Twitter, they are my everything and I can't imagine life without them anymore. They are like the Fiyero to my Elphaba, or the pink to my green :D

Anyway, that's enough from me. Goodbye for now!

Epilogue – Six months later

"Yero, can you get the diaper bag please?" called Elphaba from the bedroom she and Fiyero shared.

"Sure, Fae," Fiyero replied, doubling back to the nursery to grab the bag, slinging it over his left shoulder. He was holding Shauna on his right hip. "Sweetheart, we're going to be late meeting Galinda and Bianka if you don't hurry up!"

There was no reply from the bedroom and Fiyero sighed. "Your mother has been corrupted by Galinda, my princess. Don't be like them." He tickled Shauna's belly and she giggled into his shoulder.

"Dada!" laughed Shauna. She had only just started to learn a couple of words, and Elphaba and Fiyero were so happy every time she spoke.

Fiyero often said that the little girl had inherited his mother's smartness, to which Elphaba would reply teasingly, "Thank Oz, because smartness isn't even a word."

Elphaba came out of the bedroom, still buttoning up her shirt as she grabbed her purse from the counter and headed for the door. Fiyero looked at her, amused, before shaking his head and following her with Shauna in his arms.

The couple was living in Shiz again, off-campus in a small house. Fiyero's parents had organised everything and re-enrolled them in Shiz University. They had managed to work out their schedules so that they only needed a babysitter for two hours every second day, as they both had their Life Sciences class then. They were extremely happy with this arrangement because Galinda happened to have no classes then and had volunteered to watch Shauna at those times.

Elphaba was especially happy with this, as they had named Galinda Shauna's godmother, and she was glad that her best friend was able to spend lots of time with her daughter, who was about to turn one year old.

"Fae? You okay?" asked Fiyero, holding the door open for his wife.

"I'm fine. Just thinking how lucky I am," smiled Elphaba, giving Fiyero a soft kiss on the lips.

Shauna giggled again. "Me!"

"You? You want a kiss too?" teased Elphaba. She grabbed her daughter from Fiyero's arms and swung her around in the air, planting a sloppy kiss on her cheek. All three of them laughed happily and Fiyero took Elphaba's hand in his own as they walked down the street to The Shiz Cafe.

"Elphie!" cried Galinda as the small family entered the cafe.

"Hi Galinda, hi Bianka!" greeted Elphaba, giving both girls one-armed hugs as she was still holding Shauna. Galinda and Bianka had become extremely good friends before Elphaba and Fiyero's wedding. When Galinda returned from the Vinkus, she decided to ask Bianka on a date. They had been in a relationship together ever since, and were extremely happy together.

Elphaba and Bianka had hit it off from the first time they met, which Galinda was ecstatic about. She was worried that they wouldn't like one another, but her fears were unprecedented. She was happy that they got along easily, although sometimes almost too easily, like when they ganged up on her just to tease her mercilessly.

Elphaba was just happy that Galinda was finally content with her life. She had hated the few months where Galinda had had feelings for her, knowing that her best friend was upset and in pain, all thanks to her. It had been so hard for both of the girls and had really strained their friendship.

But everything was falling into place now, and everyone couldn't be happier. Galinda had Bianka, Elphaba and Fiyero had each other and Shauna, and they were back at Shiz together.

The four friends talked and laughed over lunch for almost three hours before Shauna started to cry.

"Uh oh, naptime for the little princess!" laughed Elphaba, smiling fondly at her daughter who was currently in Galinda's arms.

Galinda pouted. "Elphie, do you really have to go? We haven't been able to hang out properly in ages!"

"Sorry, Galinda, but I need to take Shauna home to bed," replied Elphaba. She hated making Galinda unhappy, but some things needed to be done.

Fiyero piped up before Galinda could say anything else. "Sweetheart, how about I take Shauna home and put her down for her nap? You can stay here with the girls for a bit longer, I don't mind."

"Well, if you're sure..." said Elphaba uncertainly.

"Fae, we'll be fine. Don't worry!" laughed Fiyero, kissing her quickly before taking the baby from Galinda.

"Okay, see you later then," Elphaba replied, kissing her husband and daughter again.

"I have to go and finish up an assignment that's due tomorrow," said Bianka. "But you two have fun!" She gave Elphaba a hug and Galinda a kiss before following Fiyero out the cafe, leaving the two best friends alone.

Elphaba smiled as she saw Galinda watching Bianka retreat. "You really love her, don't you?" she asked softly.

Galinda turned back to her best friend with a tender look in her eyes that Elphaba had never seen before. "I really do. She's the best thing that's happened to me."

"I know what you mean, I feel the same way about Yero. And now Shauna. I can't imagine life without them anymore."

"I completely understand. I don't know what I'd do without Bianka. She gets me through everything and is always there for me. You'll always be my best friend, Elphie, and I'm so grateful for that, but there's something more with Bianka. We understand each other on a level that only lovers do. Does that make sense?"

"Of course, Galinda. You'll always be my best friend too. I love you," smiled Elphaba.

Galinda sniffed, trying to hold back tears. "I love you too, Elphie, so much!" The two girls hugged each other tightly, glad they had each other and could call the other their best friend.

Later that night after Elphaba had finished feeding Shauna and putting her to bed, she stood in front of the crib, just looking down at her daughter. She didn't hear Fiyero come in and stand next to her until he spoke.

"She's so beautiful, Fae."

Elphaba jumped and looked at him, relaxing as he wrapped his arms around her. "I know she is. She takes after her daddy."

Fiyero laughed softly. "I think she takes after you more."

The couple slipped into a contented silence, happy to just watch their baby girl sleep.

"How did I wind up so lucky?" mused Fiyero. "I have an amazing, intelligent, funny, beautiful wife, an absolutely gorgeous daughter and a perfect life. I guess Ozma decided I deserved it all, but I don't know why."

"I could say the same thing, Yero. My husband is so handsome, charming and sexy, and he gave me a beautiful little girl who I love so much. I have an amazing best friend, I'm the Princess of the Vinkus and my life is perfect too. It doesn't even matter that I'm green anymore. No one judges me, no one cares what colour I am. I never expected my life to be anything like this, Yero. And it's all thanks to you." Elphaba turned around so she was facing Fiyero, putting her arms around his neck and kissing him passionately.

"I love you," she whispered.

"I love you too, my beautiful girl. I'll always love you, as long as you're mine," replied Fiyero.

"I'll always be yours. Always."
