A/N: Thanks' to the reviewers, they are much appreciated.

The doctors kept Elphaba in the clinic overnight just to make sure she was going to be ok. She lay in the sterile bed half awake mumbling the same sentence over and over again. "I lost your baby Yero...I'm a bad Mother please forgive me...please, I lost your baby Yero...I'm a bad Mother please forgive me...please..."

"It wasn't your fault Elphaba please don't blame yourself" replied Fiyero each time she cried out her sentence. Elphaba however seemed to not hear him, she was lost in her own world. "I lost your baby Yero..." She yawned and coughed "...I'm a bad Mother please...p...please forgive..." she let herself give into sleep. Fiyero sighed and thanked the un-named god that she was finally sleeping. He kissed her forehead then pulled the white sheets over her body.

Looking around the room Fiyero noticed that Galinda was still sitting in the same wooden chair as she had been earlier, her head was hung low and her golden curls had fallen in front of her face and she had her right arm cradled protectively against her abdomen.

"Galinda?" asked Fiyero as she shuffled over to the blonde. She jerked awake. "Are...are you ok Galinda?"

"Yes Fiyero, thankyou I'm fine" she sniffed and wiped her nose with her hand that still had blood on it.

"Galinda...you still have Elphaba's blood on you and on your dress" he sat down next to her and put his arm around her shoulders. "Thank you for helping Elphaba today I'm sure she would have appreciated it very much". Galinda just smiled weakly and continued looking at the floor.

"Do...do you want me to help you get cleaned up? Galinda...I'm sure Elphaba wouldn't mind" asked Fiyero kindly.

"Thank you Fiyero but I can't get cleaned up I...I hurt my arm" cringed Galinda as she moved it away from her body.

"Galinda, when, when did this happen?" questioned Fiyero as to took a hold of Galinda's swollen arm.

"I – when i was running away from the nasty man who was hurting Elphie...I jumped over the fence and...and I hurt my arm...It's nothing Fiyero".

"Galinda this isn't nothing, your arm is broken".

She started to cry, soft tears, unusual for Galinda these tears where real not big dramatic cries.

"It's ok Galinda your arm can be fixed, don't cry" said Fiyero as he hugged Elphaba's best friend.

"I's not my arm" sniffed Galinda

"Then what is it Galinda, please tell me?" pressed Fiyero

"Elphie...when - before you came I was lying with her in the bed, she was sleeping – well sort of sleeping and...and she thought i was you. She told me that having a baby wasn't going to be so bad after all and...and –"

"And what? Galinda what? Please tell me?"

"And that she was going to ask you if she could call it Galinda, after me...if...if was a girl...Oh Fiyero! I'm so sorry i couldn't help save your baby...I'm so so sorry" cried Galinda as she broke down, shaking.

"Galinda hey listen to me its not your fault, its not Elphaba's fault these things happen, please don't beat yourself up about it" pleaded Fiyero as he continued to hold her.

"Yero...?" Elphaba called softly, she had woken up, she sat up slowly and looked over at Fiyero and Galinda. A smile spread across her lips, it soon faded when she realised Galinda was upset. "Galinda my sweet" mumbled Elphaba as she slowly rose from her bed and made her way over to the two.

"Fae, dear what are you doing out of bed you shouldn't be walking around" said Fiyero as she took a hold of her hand ready to lead her back to her bed.

"No Yero please I want to make sure Galinda is ok" replied Elphaba softly.

"Ok Fae" he let go of her hand as she gently sat next to her friend.

"Galinda my sweet what...what's wrong?" asked Elphaba softly.

"Elphie, oh Elphie, you...you should not be walking around, you could hurt yourself" cried Galinda as she snaked her unbroken arm around the green woman.

"I'm fine Galinda, don't worry about me please my sweet, come on I...I'll help you get cleaned up" smiled Elphaba softly. She stood up slowly trying to hide her pain. Fiyero however saw straight through her mask.

"Elphaba you're in pain, my love please let me help you back to bed" stressed Fiyero.

"I'm ok Fiyero I ju-"she coughed and took a deep breath. "I just want to help Galinda; she has helped me so much lately". She led her blonde friend carefully to the small bathroom next to the room. She help Galinda wash off Elphaba's dry blood from her hands, she then handed her a clean black dress. " I know it's not your colour Galinda but at least its clean" smiled Elphaba as she helped her friend change dresses.

The next morning the doctors put a cast on Galinda's arm and deemed Elphaba fit for discharge, the three left the clinic around 9 o'clock. Elphaba spent the rest of the morning sitting with Galinda and Fiyero on the sofa talking about various things. Although Elphaba appeared happy and content Fiyero could tell that she was defiantly not 100% her eyes looked sad it seemed a part of her was missing.

The doorbell sounded. "I'll get it" mumbled Elphaba as she rose slowly from her seat, she cringed.

"Fae maybe you shouldn't walk around yet your body is still trying to recover from the...the uh miscarriage" called Fiyero after her.

"Nonsense Yero...I'm fine, I'm only going to the door anyway" replied Elphaba.

She pulled it open, two police officers stood on the doorstep. "Miss Elphaba Thropp, is she in?" said one of the officers.

"I...I am she" replied the green women"

"Miss Thropp, you are required at the village courts tomorrow at noon to give your testament against your attack"

"I...I what?...I cant I cant face him..." whispered Elphaba who seemed to shrink into herself.

"I'm sorry miss but if you want him thrown into the Southstairs so he can never hurt you again I suggest you show. Good day to you" the officers smiled then left.

Elphaba shut the door quickly then turned around and slid down it and sat on the floor. She sat in silence for a while till she started to cry.

"Fae?" is everything alright in there?" called Fiyero.

When he received no reply he made his way into the entrance hall to see Elphaba sitting against the door crying.

"Fae, what...what's wrong my love" stressed Fiyero.

"I...I cant do it Yero...I just cant"

"Do what Fae?"

"I have to face him in court...I cant...what, what if he tries to hurt me again...?" cried Elphaba into Fiyero's shoulder. "I'm so scared Fiyero...I can't...please Yero...what do I do?".
