Rifiuto: Non Miniera
Two years passed.
Fae stayed eighteen; she would have turned twenty if she'd been home.
Liir was walking and talking in short sentences by now. He was beautiful, with thick, sandy hair, and blue eyes.
Fae found herself constantly watching him, taking care of him when Elphaba and Fiyero were in meeting.
Janseta, Elphaba's young maid, turned four, and treated Liir like a brother. Fae remembered growing up with Janseta, she thought of the young maid as a sister.
"What are you up to?" Elphaba asked, coming into the library. Liir was on Fae's lap, the older girl reading to him. Janseta was snuggled into her side, listening.
"Just reading stories." Fae said, as Elphaba scooped Liir into her arms and settled next to Fae.
Fae closed the book and turned to Elphaba.
"Do you want another child?" She asked. Elphaba shrugged.
"Yero and I have been discussing it. Maybe in the next few years, but not now. Right now, we're perfectly content."
