Chapter 4

Elphaba awoke that morning to the sound of birds singing. The green witch gave out a blissful sigh as the memories of making love to her beautiful blonde wife came back to her. Then she remember Fiyero was still trapped inside the closet and threw on her clothes and rushed to free him. She made sure Glinda's nakedness was covered before she removed the chair, and opened the door to see him sitting on the floor asleep. He was using some coats as a blanket.

"Fiyero wake up." Elphaba whispered, as she kicked him gently until his eyes opened.

"Elphaba! It's good to see you," Fiyero answered, as he stood up and quickly exited the closet. He was clearly happy to be out of that small space.

"I'm sorry you had to sleep in that closet all night," Elphaba said, as she rubbed the back of her neck in an embarrassed fashion.

"Hey, I didn't mind. I got to hear you and Glinda getting it on. Sweet Oz, Fae, you're a machine! You made Glinda scream so loud!" Fiyero said, in amazement.

"What can I say? I love my woman," Elphaba replied, with a sly grin. "Anyway, put this bathrobe on and ask Melinda to unlock the door." Elphaba said, as she threw her green bathrobe at him. "I'm sure Melinda hasn't left from her spot. I can't see her saying no after what I know she heard."

Fiyero nodded as he watched Elphaba hide back in the closet. When she was away from sight he tied the bathrobe around him and knocked on the door.

"Mrs. Upland, I mean mom, are you awake?" Fiyero asked, as he knocked a bit harder. "Can you please unlock the door now?" The Prince heard a nosie but wasn't sure of what is was exactly but after a second or two the door did opened.

"Fiyero, my boy, it's great to see you!" Melinda exclaimed. "From all the noise from Glinda I heard last night things must have gone well. Who knows maybe you and Glinda will have a child after all." Melinda then peeked into the room to see her daughter still sleeping.

"Sweet Oz, you sure wore her out." Melinda answered, happily, as her eyes fell upon the green bathrobe Fiyero was wearing. "Now that's strange. Your green bathrobe has an E on it. Why does it have an E on it? Fiyero doesn't start with an E."

"What? Oh, yes, well you see, um, I ordered an F on this bathrobe but by mistake an E was put instead. I mean F and E look very much alike. And I really haven't had the time for it to be changed," Fiyero replied. He wondered if Mrs. Upland would believe this lie.

"Yes, you're right," Melinda answered, as she pulled Fiyero out of the room. "Now, come on, let's look for which room is going to be into a nursery."

"Shouldn't we wait to see if Glinda is actually with child first?" Fiyero said as he was dragged along.

"Why wait? This is too exciting to put off," Melinda replied, as she only pulled harder.

...X...

That evening Melinda asked Glinda if she would like to go shopping with her. Now Glinda was one to never refuse a shopping trip, but when the blonde entered her bedroom four hours later she didn't look happy.

"Did you have a fun time shopping with your mother?" Elphaba asked. Glinda answered by throwing her shopping bags in a huff onto the bed. The green witch gave her wife a confused look as she started to dig through the bags. Elphaba quickly found that all the clothes in the bags were baby clothes. "My sweet, I don't think this is going to fit me." Elphaba added, in a joking manner, as she held up a tiny black shirt up to her chest.

"My mother bought me all baby clothes! I can't believe it! She believes I'm pregnant, without a shadow of a doubt, because of what she heard last night." Glinda nearly shouted. After a moment or two the blonde let out a giggle as she watched Elphaba take out the pacifier, her mother had also bought her, and began sucking on it. It wasn't long before Elphaba removed the pacifier from her mouth and placed it back into the bag of baby clothes.

"Clara even told me that your mother took Fiyero all over the house to see what room would be the best to make into a nursery." Elphaba replied, as she put down the tiny black shirt, walked up to her blonde wife, and wrapped her arms around her.

"My mother just won't give up about this whole baby thing. And there is no way I'm going to be pregnant unless you get me pregnant," Glinda answered, as she moved her head and kissed the green woman on the cheek. "And that can sadly never happen."

Just then Elphaba's eyes lit up with an idea as she said, "Never say never, my sweet." With that Elphaba let go of Glinda and rushed over to the desk. It didn't take the green witch long to find what she was looking for which was the Grimmerie.

"Elphie, what are you looking for?" Glinda asked.

"Who knows their could be a spell in here that could let me get you pregnant." Elphaba replied, as she began skimming each spell page by page.

"You really think there might be a spell like that?" Glinda asked.

"One never knows until they try." Elphaba answered, but the blonde grabbed the book and stopped the green witch from reading.

"You can do that later. Right now I need you to kiss me and hold me tight." Glinda said, as she cupped a green cheek. Her voice was soft almost pleading with the need to be comforted. "I have missed you so much."

"And I have miss you," Elphaba replied, as she kissed her blonde wife deeply. She knew that Melinda was wearing Glinda out physically and emotionally with all her pressure on having a baby. The green witch could see it in her love's eyes that she was tired with all of this. With one quick move Elphaba scooped Glinda into her arms and carried her to their bed. She laid Glinda down before pulling the woman against her. The blonde quickly relaxed and smiled when she felt the green woman stroke her hair.

"I can't wait until my mother leaves," Glinda whispered. "I so want some real alone time with you. I keep having this fantasy with you wearing nothing but your black silk underwear, a leather vest, and your pointy hat as you hold a riding crop."

"Then what happens?" Elphaba asked with a light cackle.

"You punish me for being a bad girl," Glinda answered, as she batted her eyelashes at her green love and in turn Elphaba could feel her heart flutter. "It seems in my fantasy I have been a bad witch instead of a good witch."

Elphaba cackled again before pressing a kiss to her wife's forehead and saying, "I like the sound of that fantasy of yours, but right now you need to sleep. Hopefully we'll talk more in the morning, okay?"

"All right," Glinda said, as she yawn and soon fell asleep in her wife's arms.

...X...

When morning came Glinda could only let out a displeasing sigh. She didn't want to deal with her mother, but she knew she had no choice. Besides she knew it wasn't fair to leave Fiyero to deal with her alone. She found the two of them looking through a baby name book with Clara not too far away. The young maid gave Glinda a worried look and the blonde patted her hand to reassure her things would be alright before giving her the okay to leave the room. Clara didn't hesitate as she left.

"Glinda, dear, I'm so happy you're up. Fiyero and I have just been talking about baby names. What do you think about the name Charles for a boy? I've always liked that name. Or how about Mary for a girl?" Melinda said, as she gave her hair a toss.

"Mother, I think you are getting ahead of yourself. I mean we don't even know for sure that I'm with child and you are already acting like I'm nine months pregnant." Glinda replied, as she took a seat beside her mother.

"Well someone has to get things started at least. I mean I only want the best for the two of you. I just want you to by happy." Melinda answered, as she held her daughter's hand.

"Do you really mean that?" Glinda asked, as she peered into her mother's eyes.

"Of course I do. If you're happy then I'm happy," Melinda answered, as she looked towards Fiyero. "And I'm sure your husband feels the same way."

Glinda looked down and shifted uncomfortably. The Good Witch wished that she could tell her mother the truth right then and there that she wasn't really married to Fiyero, but that she was really married to the Wicked Witch of the West.

"In fact let's play a game right now!" Melinda said, as she clapped her hands together. "You each say what you like about each person. Glinda, you go first. Tell us why you love your spouse." When Glinda didn't answer right away her mother nudged her. "Come on now."

The blonde let out a breath before beginning to speak, "I love my spouse with all my heart. I love how they hold me tight at night and whisper words of love and comfort into my ear. I love how they just smile at me and my whole day gets brighter. I am truly the luckiest woman in all of Oz. I couldn't ask for a better spouse because of them I have been changed for good."

"Oh, Glinda, I'm so happy to hear that. Fiyero you must feel very proud," Melinda said, as she laid a hand on his shoulder.

"You have no idea," Fiyero answered, as he grinned at the Good Witch. The Prince knew that Glonda's speech was all about Elphaba. It made Fiyero feel so overjoyed to see Glinda's eyes light up in pure bliss as she spoke about her green wife.

"Okay, Fiyero, it's your turn." Melinda said. Just then a loud sound of something breaking could be heard in the next room.

"I better go see what that was," Fiyero replied, as he quickly left the room at top speed.

"So much for his turn," Melinda pouted for only a second or two before her eyes lit up again with excitement. "I just thought of another prefect baby name!"

"Oh Sweet Oz," Glinda whispered. "Is this ever going to end?"
