Elphaba stood in her dark navy blue dress that could be easily mistaken as black. Her hair was done nicely with her beautiful raven locks cascading down her back. In front of her stood the bride's maids in their red wine colored dresses that matched the black and white themed room well. The maid of honor, Nor, smiled over at Elphaba and gave a nod towards her direction. It was funny how little energetic Nor turned into a calm, soft spoken adult. Eira stood in the very front in her cute little wine colored dress that puffed out. She had enjoyed spinning around in it earlier. She held the white basket of pink rose petals in her left hand. She was rocking back and forth in her shoes without a care in the world.

And Liir who was to escort Nor down the aisle, Elphaba couldn't even believe it was him. She remembered him as a chubby pale boy who was very nervous and unsure of himself. Looking at him now, though, he was about Fiyero's height, the sun had given him some color, and he was actually a bit muscular, but he was actually quite thin (kind of like herself, Glinda had pointed that out to her). He had been very nice and generous to Elphaba when they met for the first time in years. She had never felt so sorry in her life, and she continuously apologized how she treated Nessarose's daughter better than her own son. Since he inherited his heart from Fiyero, Liir had forgiven her easily. However, he was still a bit distant towards her and said that he'd prefer to stay in Munchkinland near Fiyero. "Elphie, you look beautiful," Glinda gushed.

"And you look gorgeous, my sweet," Elphaba replied.

"The music's going to start soon. Ellie will be here in a clock tick. I'm going to go take my seat and take out the tissues. Can you believe it? Our little Ellie's getting married! I'm so happy she was able to find someone. Oh, there I go, rambling again. I'll go take my seat now," Glinda said quickly and rushed off before the green woman could say another word.

Giving Elena away, hmm? Elphaba jumped at the voice of her sister in her head. Well, I can finally say I succeeded in frightening you. I can check that off my to do list.

Since when did you get lippy? Elphaba retorted to Nessarose.

You're giving away my baby, I'm allowed to be a tad lippy. Nessa replied. Elphaba still couldn't get used to a dead woman's voice in her head. Had this been what Ellie felt like when she said Nessa was talking to her?

You don't mind that I'm giving her away, do you? Honestly, I forgot to ask. Elphaba replied with concern in her…thoughts? Yes, thoughts.

Of course I don't mind. I'm dead, remember? Nessa laughed. Elphaba missed her sister tremendously now more than ever. Her daughter was getting married for Oz's sake! I already spoke with her before and congratulated her.

You mean you still speak with her?

And Eira, too. Nessa added.

You're so creepy sometimes.

It's what I do best. Elphaba could picture Nessie's smile and her delicate features. Now, I am glad you're giving Elena away. I wouldn't want anyone else to, you know. And I'm happy that you listened to me and made your way back to the Emerald City. Oh, and you should be thanking me about Eira finding out who you are. I was the one who took control of her body to use the Grimmerie.

How many heads have you gotten into? Elphaba questioned her sister.

Just you, Elena, and Eira.

I always wondered why you always call her Elena and not by Ellie like everyone else. You're her mother, surely you have some kind of nickname for her, although I've never heard one.

I don't Elphaba. I call her Elena because I didn't want her to get too attached to me, and I didn't want to get too attached to her. Enough about me, now the music's starting. Go give my little girl away. And just like that, Nessa vanished from her mind.

Eira had started walking and throwing the petals. Ellie now stood next to Elphaba in her beautiful white wedding gown. It hugged her slim figure, but was loose fitting after the waist. It flowed nicely and looked perfect on her niece. "Ready to give me away?" Ellie whispered.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Elphaba admitted and offered Ellie her arm, which she took.

"I want to thank you again for doing this, escorting me down the aisle I mean. And just so you know, if my mother was still alive, I'd still have you give me away."

"And why's that?" Elphaba questioned. She hadn't known how highly Ellie thought of her.

"Because you're the person who got me here, and I really do admire you," the bride replied and smiled at her.

"Are you trying to make me cry?" Elphaba questioned as she attempted to hold back tears.

"Oh, don't cry now," Ellie said. "You'll only burn yourself." The music started playing-it was Elphaba's cue to give her away. "Ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be," Elphaba said and had to put her nerves behind her. Ellie quickly kissed her cheek before Elphaba escorted her down the aisle. She didn't know if she was really ready to give her away, but the look Kellan gave Ellie when she walked down the aisle, Elphaba knew her niece was in good hands. After parting with Ellie, Elphaba took her seat next to Glinda whom was crying silent tears and dabbing at her blue eyes with tissues every so often. Glinda leaned into her lover and held her hand as they watched Ellie and Kellan exchange their vows.

As Elphaba watched, she realized that she still had her family. She was thankful that they had welcomed her back so easily (well, easier than she thought) and couldn't ask for a better life. Elphaba no longer felt like an outsider, but she felt as if she belonged. She had Glinda, her lover who could get a bit emotional at times and loved fashion, but nevertheless she was intelligent. She had her annoying, dead sister who popped in her head from time to time. Ellie, her niece, who was literally a genius but had such a big heart, and finally someone who could relate to Elphaba when they spoke about their childhoods was there. And sweet little Eira who found her and brought her back here and who made Glinda so happy, it made Elphaba happy as well. And then there was Fiyero (although she still felt a tad awkward around him but failed to show it) and her son, Liir, and his half sister, Nor, along with Ellie's Tiger friend, Brac. And now, Kellan was being added to the family. Perhaps more members would be added soon.

Elphaba felt she finally belonged. This truly was her home.
