Chapter 44. Raging Horomones
Rifiuto: Non Miniera
Elphaba's first month of pregnancy were spent mainly in the bathroom.
Morning, noon, and night, she suffered morning sickness.
So it was a rare occurence when Fae entered the library early one afternoon, to find Elphaba sitting on the sofa, a book in her lap.
"Um....hello?"
Fae was prepared to bolt, if Elphaba flew off the handle. She knew her mother was prone to during meeting or court affairs, but she'd never been around her when she was pregnant, and she would bet all the jewels she possessed, that her mother's temper was worse when she was suffering from raging horomones.
Slowly, Elphaba looked up.
"Hello Fae."
"Can I......join you?" She asked, keeping pressed against the closed door. Elphaba chuckled, and patted the sofa next to her.
"Sure. Sit."
Cautiously, Fae joined the young princess on the sofa.
"What are you reading?"
Elphaba looked up from the book, before showing her the cover.
What to Expect When You're Expecting.
"'What to Expect When You're Expecting.'?" Fae asked, raising her eyebrows. "I didn't think you'd be reading something like that."
Elphaba shrugged.
"It's a start, and whatever I'm missing, I'll ask Musetta." She replied.
"Okay. It's your son. And my brother." Fae muttered. Elphaba's head snapped up.
"Excuse me? What did you just say?"
Fae shot back.
"Nothing."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing!"
"Get out. Go find something else to do and leave me alone." Elphaba snapped, as Fae scrambled from the sofa and bolted from the library. As she closed the door to her room, she finally let her heart return to normal.
Yep, she's definatly my mother.
