"Fiyero what are you talking about?" Elphaba asked in a flat tone even though she already knew the answer.
Fiyero didn't respond to her. Dr. Monens face went blank.
"I'm sorry you two have to leave" Dr. Monens told both women. Fiyero's mother stood up and went for the door but Elphaba wasn't leaving.
"But-"
"I'll tell you when I have the facts" Dr, Monens cut her off.
Elphaba looked at Fiyero who gave her a slight nod. She slowly walked out of the room and looked over her shoulder to see Fiyero laying the bed as a single tear rolled down her emerald cheek.
The half hour they were in the waiting room Elphaba called Glinda and she came right over, Fiyero's father sadly could not leave Vinkus. The three women sat there in silence. Fiyero's mother occasionally looked over to Elphaba and gave her a dirty look as if to say, 'if my son isn't ok it's your fault'.
When she did Elphaba just looked down to the floor. Dr. Monens came in with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Well I have good news and bad news" he sighed not knowing what to say, "bad news is, if he survives-" the 'if' caught Elphaba's attention. Dr. Monens continued, "He won't be able to walk again."
No one knew what to say. They all tried to think it was a just a horrible nightmare. Realizing he had to say something Dr. Monens continued, "He had a spinal injury we didn't get to in time."
Glinda looked up at him her eyes glassy, "What's the good news?" Leave it to Glinda to block out the bad news. Dr. Monens couldn't help but smile at Glinda's innocence.
"Well he can't feel anything below the middle of his back, which means he doesn't feel the pain in his legs." Glinda nodded.
Dr. Monens looked to Elphaba, "I'm sure he would appreciate it if you talked to him." Elphaba looked to the door leading to Fiyero's room and nodded and without a word walked in to it. She looked over to Fiyero who was lying on his side obviously upset.
"Hey Yero," she calmly said as she sat down. She combed her hand through his sandy blonde hair. "How are you?" she asked as Fiyero looked into her dark eyes and sighed.
"It's over." He simply said. Shock came over Elphaba's face all her thoughts where jumbled into one. She couldn't believe her Yero was practically giving up. She tried to put on the bravest face she could.
"Yero don't say that," was all she could come up with. She looked into his piercing blue eyes and couldn't help but shed a tear, which she quickly wiped away from her emerald face.
"If it's about not walking I can do the spell I did with Nessa I can-" She was cut off by Fiyero.
"Elphaba, Nessa was born like that," he said in a flat voice; his breathing heavy.
"I don't care! We can at least try!" Elphaba didn't even know how loud her voice was and she didn't care. Fiyero realized he couldn't lie to her anymore and tell her that he was okay.
"Elphaba it hurts, you don't know how much. I just don't know how much more of this I can take." His eyes started to water, which surprised Elphaba, she had never seen him cry.
She shook her head in disbelief. This made her start to tear even more and this time she didn't wipe them away.
"Stop thinking like that Yero, you have to be strong here for the both of us.
You are going to turn twenty in a week and everything will be okay." Fiyero shook his head.
"Elphaba-" he couldn't continue the sentence because pain from his broken ribs went throughout his body.
"Fiyero I need you here! I don't know what I would do without you." She couldn't help her tears any more she started sobbing unable to even control her breath. Oh how he wished he could hold her and tell her everything would be okay but he knew that he would be lying. He grabbed her hand and squeezed it as much as he could. Elphaba couldn't hold in her secrets any more it just came out of her mouth without any thought to it, "Yero, I'm pregnant!" she yelled to him. Fiyero's face went pale he had no clue, like most things.
"W-w-what?" was all that came out of his mouth.
"I'm pregnant, Fiyero!" she didn't know how much clearer she could make it.
Fiyero didn't know what to say so Elphaba continued, "Yero, I need you here.
It's not just about us anymore!" Fiyero's mouth curled into a smirk.
"Where going to be parents…" He started smiling; he was happy which surprised Elphaba.
"Yes Fiyero, We—you have to stay strong and keep going so we can have this child together" Fiyero nodded and Elphaba smiled as she cupped his face with her hands, "I love you," Fiyero took her hands and kissed them.
"I love you too," Elphaba grinned and combed her hands through his hair.
"Now rest okay?" She told him.
Fiyero was about to say something but he winced and couldn't help but let out a moan in pain. Elphaba's eyes softened for him. Fiyero just nodded and shut his eyes to sleep. After about ten minutes Elphaba still sat in the same spot listing to Fiyero's even breathing and couldn't help but smile. Just then Fiyero's mother and Glinda came into the room.
"Is he sleeping?" Glinda asked in a hushed tone just in case he was.
"Yeah…I had to tell him Glin" Elphaba replied not even taking her eyes off of Fiyero. Glinda rushed to the couch Elphaba was sitting on and made Elphaba look at her.
"Elphie...you said-"
"I know what I said…" Elphaba looked over towards Fiyero's mom and frowned.
Elphaba's eyes started watering as she collapsed in Glinda's arms sobbing. "He was talking crazy, about giving up. I—I couldn't keep it from him any more."
Glinda held her friend and held back tears of her own.
"Its ok Elphie he had to find out sometime," she said still in a whisper hoping not to wake Fiyero. Elphaba pulled away from her when she heard his mother speak.
"What did you tell him?" she asked more like a demand then a question, Elphaba wiped the tears from her face trying to be brave.
"I- I umm…" she didn't know how to say tell her and figured that it would be easiest to just come out with it, "I'm pregnant."
Fiyero's mothers face went almost red with anger but she didn't speak. The room was dead silent except for the beeps of Fiyero's heart monitor.
"You're what?" she said in a small but angry tone. Elphaba looked down to her feet but stood up from her chair. She knew she had to stand up for herself.
"I'm pregnant!" she repeated again in a more violent tone.
"With whom," Fiyero's mother asked even though she already knew the answer.
"With Fiyero" Elphaba responded simply. Fiyero's mother lost it, "how dare you! You are disgusting, how you could even think of," she was so mad she couldn't even talk in a complete sentence, "You are vial! You slut! You-"
"Mom!" Fiyero exclaimed from the bed. Both women didn't realize they were Shouting.
"Fiyero I-" his mother started but was intruded by Fiyero.
"How could you even say those things to Elphaba?" Fiyero used all his strength to sit himself up using his elbows "I don't care what you think, I love her and you are," he winced in pain and continued, "Just a cruel bitch!" Glinda jumped out of the room to call Fiyero's father maybe he could stop this.
"Fiyero please lay back down" Elphaba said in a gentle tone. Fiyero shook his head,
"Elphaba please- mother Get out of her now!" he yelled as he doubled over in pain.
"Fiyero you aren't thinking straight!" his mother said just then Dr. Monens came in when he heard the yelling from a room nearby.
"Fiyero what are you doing sitting up?" he asked in a concerned voice.
"Just get her out of here!" he pointed to his mother. Dr. Monens had no other choice, but to kick her out of the room for Fiyero's own safety. Fiyero groaned in pain as he lay back down.
"Oh Yero!" Elphaba exclaimed wrapping her arms around him. It hurt him but he didn't care. She backed away and kissed him fiercely.
"Where's Glinda?" she asked curious but she got her answer when Glinda walked back in.
"I have to go," she said as she quickly gathered her things and ran out of the room. She had no place to go, but she didn't want to be yelled at when Fiyero's father arrived.
