"Elphaba you aren't making any sense!" Fiyero argued in a slightly annoyed tone. Elphaba looked over to Dr. Monens who had a blank look on his face
"I don't think he remembers anything that has happened" she stated to the doctor. He looked at Fiyero who looked more confused than usual.
"Do you know who you are?" Dr. Monens asked Fiyero. Fiyero raised his eyebrows like it was the stupidest question he had ever heard
"Fiyero Tiggular" he said.
"Do you know who I am?" Elphaba asked him, hoping the answer would be yes.
Again Fiyero thought it was the stupidest question ever
"Elphaba Thropp" he said. Elphaba let out a sigh of relief.
"What about me?" Dr. Monens asked him.
"Uh…a doctor?" Fiyero answered trying to recall a name.
"Yes but do you know my name?" Dr. Monens asked, knowing the answer already.
"Um…no should I?" Dr. Monens and Elphaba both exchanged worried glances.
Elphaba felt as though her heart was being ripped out. He remembers his name and her name but he doesn't remember anything about the torture. She thought he would be better.
"I'm so stupid" she thought to herself.
Dr. Monens was not shocked however, he had a feeling something like this would happen. However he was confused as to why he remembered some things and not others.
"What's the last thing you remember?" Elphaba asked curiously.
"Umm you were leaving to find Nessa because you said she was in trouble or something…and then… uh I don't know." Elphaba looked into his clear blue eyes and back at Dr. Monens who motioned for her to come out side. She nodded and walked out.
"What's going on! Why can't he remember what happened?" she said, feeling so many mixed emotions. She was extremely happy Fiyero was awake and yet saddened that he couldn't remember anything.
"I was worried this would happen" Dr. Monens responded. He put his hand on Elphaba's shoulder trying to comfort her. "The memories are in his mind somewhere. Somewhere in there he knows everything that happened, but he just can't recall them. Right now we have to act normal. We need to explain to him briefly what happened and wait for him to remember the rest, but we shouldn't stress on it." He looked at Elphaba's face and already knew what she was going to say so he continued, "Everyone is different, there is no way to tell how long it will take and how he will remember but he will in time." Elphaba nodded and wiped away a tear that was about to fall from her eye. They both walked back inside the room to a very confused Fiyero. Elphaba sat on the couch and grabbed Fiyero's hand.
"Yero…" she started but was unable to finish the sentence. How was she going to tell him everything that happened? Everything that they went through. It broke her heart to look into his eyes and see only utter confusion. Fiyero squeezed her hand trying to comfort her.
"I only have four questions" he said realizing Elphaba had no idea what to say. She nodded towards Dr. Monens who was standing at the foot of the bed.
"One, why am I in a hospital? Two, why can't I feel anything below the middle of my back? Three, why can't I sit up without feeling like I'm going to faint?
And four, either you got really fat or you're pregnant" Elphaba couldn't help but crack a smile at his last comment but decided against saying anything. She took in a deep breath and began to speak.
"When I left to get Nessa, the guards came and the Gale Force captured me"
Fiyero's eyes widened "But you came and they took you instead of me, thinking you would tell them where I went." Elphaba held back tears as she continued.
"Glinda and I found you after they tortured you. Oh Yero, it was horrible we weren't sure if you where going to live." Fiyero squeezed her hand again trying to reassure her. "And we took you here. After two weeks of you being delusional and unconscious, you woke up and we realized you had a back injury.
The doctors couldn't get to in time" she let a tear fall from her eye and
Fiyero wiped it away with his gentle touch "Then after a couple days you fell into a coma for eight months because you had brain damage, and you are still recovering from it." Fiyero nodded as though he understood but he still didn't recall any of it. "As for this" she put her hand on her swollen stomach "Yero
I'm pregnant" Fiyero was in utter shock.
"Are you serious?" he asked just to say something. Elphaba nodded.
"I'm pretty sure" Fiyero smirked a little
"I-I can't believe it. We are seriously going to have a baby" again Elphaba nodded. She looked around the room and realized Dr. Monens left the room, soon reality hit Fiyero. "But what about a place to stay? Where have you stayed all this time?" he questioned. Elphaba blushed.
"Your dad paid for the house and all the stuff in it. And I-I never left the hospital." Fiyero looked into her dark brown eyes disappointedly.
"Elphaba-" he started but she cut him off
"I couldn't leave you Fiyero! Anything could have happened!" she said, not wanting it to come out as angry as it did. Fiyero looked down not sure of what to say.
"Yero I couldn't leave you. I couldn't stand the thought of loosing you" her tears were flowing freely now. She wasn't sure if they were happy tears because he was alive or sad ones as all her memories of the last eight months began to come back to her. Fiyero sat up even though he felt like his head was going to split open. He pulled Elphaba into a tight embrace and whispered into her ear.
"I love you. You know that? Everything's going to be okay." Elphaba let her head rest against his chest as he held her tightly.
"That's what you said the first day you woke up when you came here" she whispered back, still in his arms. Fiyero let go of her and lifted her chin so she looked into his sparkling eyes.
"I was right wasn't I? Elphaba I don't know what happened or how it happened, but I know in my heart I made the right choice in saving you" he kissed her lightly. Just then there was a knock on the door.
Come in" Elphaba told the person outside the door. The heavy door cracked open and Fiyero's father peered inside. He smiled widely at the sight of his son awake. He slowly walked inside the room and without hesitation he hugged Fiyero.
"Hey Dad" Fiyero said as he lied back down. "Where's Mom?" he asked. Fiyero's father looked over to Elphaba whose eyes were wide. Fiyero's father sat in the chair next to the bed and spoke.
"Your mother and I got a divorce." He stated. Fiyero jaw dropped.
"W-w why?" He stuttered.
"Well remember when you had that fight with your Mom?" Elphaba made a signal to Fiyero father saying "shut up"! But it was too late.
"No when did I have a fight with Mom?" Fiyero asked, confused. Elphaba stepped into the conversation.
"Um… Yero doesn't remember what happened." she said in a quiet and scared voice. Fiyero's father looked over to his son and sighed.
"Uh… well… just forget about it all right?" he attempted to change the subject. "Hey! I think Glinda's coming up now." Tight on cue Glinda flung open the door and ran to Fiyero hugging him as tight as her arms could squeeze.
"Glinda… you're not mad at me?" Fiyero asked weakly. Glinda giggled and let go of him.
"Mad at you why, should I be?" Fiyero looked over to Elphaba who was staring angrily at Glinda, even though she knew it wasn't Glinda's fault that he didn't remember. She was just angry that she had to be constantly reminded of it.
"Well, uh-" Elphaba stopped him right there.
"Glinda he doesn't remember anything" Glinda covered her mouth and gasped.
"Oh Oz!" she was about to go on but Elphaba elbowed her lightly "Never mind.
I'm just happy you're here!" she hugged him again. Elphaba couldn't help but laugh at Glinda's excitement. Not that Elphaba wasn't feeling the same amount of joy, she just was never the type for showing it. Dr. Monens walked into the room and smiled at the group.
"Hey guys! Well it's great that you're here but Fiyero has to rest." Glinda and Fiyero let out a groan. Dr. Monens smiled but didn't back down. Before
Fiyero closed his eyes to sleep Elphaba leant down beside him.
"Goodnight Yero my hero, and please wake up this time" she whispered softly. Fiyero smirked.
Elphaba waited until she was sure Fiyero was asleep until she spoke.
"Ok, I think we all realize that he doesn't remember anything. We can't stress him out, so don't tell him anything!" she whispered, her eyes stern. Now that she had Fiyero in her arms again she was never letting go.
