Hey,

This chapter is a bit shorter than all my other chapters. Only a bit, I hope you enjoy it. I will try to write the 14th chapter. I don't like having 13 chapters. A chapter of Out of Oz will be updated this weekend. I have been rather busy.

Chapter 13: Fiyero's trouble

"You have a relationship with the wicked witch of the West?" Baxiana yelled at him. Fiyero assumed that the room didn't stop the cruel words his mother said. He was sure that the words wouldn't make the city, but Elphaba would hear them. "I say we call the guards, you keep the kids. What are they going to do being raised by an evil woman? I assume it's already too late…"
"You've seen Ally." Fiyero turned to her. "There's nothing wrong with the little girl."
"Not that I can see…" Baxiana placed her hands on her hips. "The damage has already been done. You have to take the kid, take it away from her wickedness."

"Mom, you know nothing about her…" Fiyero turned to his mother. "Madame Morrible made up everything. Every crime she has committed was something the Gale Force did. I have more guilt in the witches dead's than Elphaba does."
"Fiyero, you're talking good of her…" Baxiana turned to her. "I know evil, when I see it."
"You don't even know her." Fiyero put a hand on his mother's shoulder. "You can't go out there, tell anyone about her. If you do, this kids will lose their mother."
"Would that be so bad? I say the world will be better off without people like her." Baxiana cursed. "I have read every word written on…"
"The wicked Witch of the West, not Elphaba…" Fiyero turned to her. "In my case, they could be two different things."

"Fiyero, don't you see the shame you put on your family." Baxiana had a high preachy voice. "I am not just talking about the 'Wicked Witch of the West' thing. She's married to someone, that person is believed to be the father of this child. If anyone finds out, the Tiggular family will suffer and the Upland family. Is that little bitch worth that?"
"You can call her anything…" Fiyero turned to him. "But I won't let you walk out of there. I have a duty towards my kids. If I let you walk out there, they will be scarred forever. Think about it. Do you want a kid to remember pain in their mothers eyes. I would never have want to see you in pain. Do you want to cause that pain to your grandchildren."
"It's my duty…"
"If you call them, you will betray your duty as a mother." Fiyero almost whispered. "I love Elphaba. If you were my mother, you would understand."

"She's got you under one of her spells." Baxiana put her hand on Fiyero's cheek. "You would never fall for a girl like her, she's not even pretty."
"I would like to disagree on that." Fiyero spoke "She's not the first one that catches your eye, but she's beautiful in so many more ways. There's always something new you find out about her. Elphaba, she will always be a mystery to me. She's the most beautiful woman I know."
"Fiyero…"

Fiyero stood up. He knew Elphaba was still in the living room. He hoped that Elphaba hadn't left when she heard his mother's cruel voice. He also hoped that his little girl would be protected to the words. Most of the dangerous words were whispered and invisible to anyone. Fiyero sat down on the bed and turned to his mom. In her eyes there was still a certain anger. Why did his mom have to be so mean? Why couldn't he see that Elphaba was the only one he could ever love?
"Look, Fiyero…" Baxiana turned to him. "Either way you tell them, she's here or…"

"Can you please not…" Elphaba stepped in the room. "Why do you think you know me? I mean most papers have lies in them. How can you build a story on a lie?"
"You have committed a crime worst…" Baxiana turned "You had a child out of wedlock, than you married a man to hide that you were pregnant, that man was not even the fathers child. Even if you haven't committed any of your wicked crimes, you have what's coming to you."
"Mother!"
"No need, Fiyero." Elphaba turned to him. "You mother is right."

"No, she's not write Elphaba." Fiyero turned to her.
"So, you're choosing her side." Baxiana stepped to the small bed. She sat down. "Fiyero, you're my son. Family comes first, it should always come first. Think about the wickedness she…"
"You think I teach my kids the wrong things?" Elphaba raised an eyebrow. "Do you have the right to judge my parenting? I never thought my kids anything wrong. I might have sinned, I didn't marry the father off my kids, but they're not wicked."
"You have consumed their mind…" Baxiana yelled "There's nothing I can do to erase the thing you've done to these kids."

Elphaba slammed her hand to Baxiana's cheek. For a moment she could hear Nessa's voice. Devil children, in a way she had said the exact same thing. The only difference was the woman who said it. Nessarose was crazy by religion, and after years it only became worst. Elphaba had heard that she had devoted herself to the unnamed god, she wouldn't talk to anyone and had joined a convent. Or at least she lived a celibate life. There was hardly anyone that ever talked to her. Elphaba felt an anger in herself, she didn't feel regret. She felt happy. Elphaba thought about her sins. She didn't disserve the tittle of Wicked, not for her marriage. Or maybe she did, what she had done to Glinda was a crime. Or at least that's what she believed. Slowly Elphaba turned to the window. She couldn't face Fiyero anymore.
"Fiyero, I think we should get them right now…" Baxiana stepped out of the room. She walked in the living room.. Baxiana took Ally in her arms. "Fiyero, if you don't want this…"
"She's not a devil child!" Elphaba had tears in her eyes. "Don't you dare say this word, you must understand. We're both mothers after all, What would you?"
"My Fiyero is not a devil child!"

"Mom, don't you dare go out there!" Fiyero stepped in the room. "I love Elphaba and Elphaba loves me. I will marry her and I don't care what the Vinkus would think of our marriage, nor the city or anyone. Elphaba is my family. As my mother you have to understand and see that it makes me happy. Very happy."
"As a mother I should see the mistake you're making…"

"Fiyero, I…" The door opened up. There was a soft noise from the blonds face. Elphaba recognized Glinda's face. She wanted to huger her, but the situation didn't allow it. Glinda was smart enough to close the door to the passing city. She felt the drama in the room right away, her blue eyes showed what anyone would do. She had walked in to a fight she couldn't understand.
"Glinda, dear…" Baxiana stepped towards her. "Bring my Fiyero to his senses, you were so much better for him. You truly loved him. This green slut!"
"You won't talk to my friend in that way!" Glinda took a step in front of Baxiana. "You love your son no matter what. You should…"
"No matter what doesn't mean this…" Baxiana spoke "She has put a spell on him. She's married to your brother. The poor man, she has put a spell on him and on my son. I see that you…"
"My brother loves her." Glinda turned to her. "But you have no right to judge anything. You don't know me nor Elphaba. I was not good to your son. I didn't love him. Fiyero loves Elphaba, Elphaba loves Fiyero. That's all you need. All you want."
"Glinda…" Elphaba took Ally's hand. She turned to Fiyero's bedroom and place the child in her arms. With a firm footstep she took the five year old child to the room. She didn't want her daughter to be traumatized by the fight she saw in front of her. She didn't want the child to remember this. She had the child pulled to her chest. When she entered the bedroom, she noticed the tempting window. Leaving all of this behind her, go back to her existence in the forest. But it was her love for Fiyero that kept her here.

"Okay…" Elphaba spoke once more again. "Can we fight in…"
"Shut up, evil thing." Baxiana spoke
"Hold me back Fiyero." Glinda took her wand. "Cause I'm going to kick your mom to the other side of the country. How dare she call…"
"Galinda Upland." Baxiana turned to her. "I for one would have believed you would have turned against her too. She's married to your brother. She cheated on him and she had Fiyero's baby. She betrayed all of you."
"Elphaba, tell me that's not true." Glinda turned to her. "Tell me that Nathan is the father."

"Glinda…"
"So it's true." Glinda took a step back. "You have betrayed me. You slept with Fiyero when we were going out, and you…"
"Glinda, I was drunk."

"I trusted you." Glinda stepped towards the door. "You disserve anything that's coming for you. You are wicked. My brother loved you! He…"
"Guards!" Baxiana smiled

Glinda walked away from the scene. There was a certain anger that was flowing through her petite body. Anger, it was something she had not felt in a while. It was a feeling that felt familiar. She was mad with her friend. Not for stealing Fiyero from her. No, she was mad with Elphaba for a whole different reason. She didn't understand why Elphaba wouldn't be fair with her. Did she think that little of her friendship? She had slept with her boyfriend, Glinda couldn't understand why the anger worked in this way. Fiyero had not been her boyfriend for many years, yet the anger felt more real. Glinda had to admit that the child was beautiful, and in a way she wanted to talk about her to Elphaba. She wanted to hear about her first steps, about her first laugh, about how everything happened. She wanted to know what it felt like to be loved unconditional. And yet, Glinda wasn't spending time with her friend, in a way she had betrayed her. She could remember the call for the guard. Fiyero's mother wasn't a bitch, at least that wasn't what the people made her look like. I guess shame and prejudice could make a monster out of everyone. Glinda could see the proof in herself. It was shame towards her family that brought her here. Her brother had to know the truth. Unless he was also just a pawn in Elphaba's plan. Glinda shook her head, Elphaba was no evil master mind. The day she presented her brother was the first time she saw him. They had come up with this. But why? Why would her brother help Elphaba? Why would he claim a baby as its own? Did he know that Fiyero Tiggular was the father?
"Glinda…" Nathaniel ran towards him. "I need your help."
"What's it?"

"They're captured Elphaba." Nathaniel was panicked. "They sedated her and all. They're going to execute her. The wizard wants to use her as an example. The wicked witch of the west dies by sunset. Please…"
"Did you know?" Glinda turned to him.
"Did I know?" Nathaniel paused "I am afraid I don't understand."

"Did you know the child was Fiyero's?"
"What…"
"You knew." Glinda took a step back. "When you proposed to her, did you know she was pregnant?"
"She's been honest with me from the get go…"
"So you knew that Fiyero had cheated on me with her?" Glinda turned around. "You knew about everything. Why did you not tell me? You should have…"
"She was having a tough time…"

"Glinda…" Nathaniel took her hand in his. "We need to save her."
"Why should I?"

Dum-Dum-Dumb! I hope you liked it.
