☆Fiyero's POV☆Elphaba and I were cuddling on the couch as Chistery went to get dinner. Elphaba was playing with my hair as I laid my head on her bump.

"I wonder what is taking Glinda so long." Elphaba stated.

"I don't know," I replied. "She probably had other duties." I kissed Elphaba's bump. Elphaba continued playing with my hair.

"Look at you two," Elphaba gushed. "You two are so adorable." I looked up at Elphaba.

"I could say the same about you." I stated. I sat up and kissed Elphaba. Elphaba kissed me back.

"Everytime I'm with you," Elphaba stated. "I feel so wicked." I gave a chuckle and kissed Elphaba's forehead.

"I love you so much." I stated. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Elphaba hid inside the closet, that has a hidden doorway. I went and answered the door. It was Glinda with the Grimmerie.

"Hey," Glinda stated. "I brought the Grimmerie." I took the book.

"Elphaba!" I called out. "It's just Glinda!" Elphaba came out a few moments later.

"Thank Oz." Elphaba stated. "I get so anxious whenever someone is here. I don't want anything bad happening to the baby." I hugged Elphaba and kissed her hand.

"I just realized on my way over," Glinda stated. "We could just ban 'The Scarecrow' from Oz."

"The people would want to see him dead." Elphaba stated. "Especially if he working with me."

"I'm just worried about you Elphie." Glinda stated. "Yesterday, you got nauseous for no reason. What if you say a spell that hurts you? Or the baby?" Elphaba looked offended.

"I would never hurt my baby." Elphaba snarled.

"Fae," I stated. "Glinda has a point. You might -"

"I AM GOING TO HELP!" Elphaba yelled. "I AM THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST AFTER ALL! I AM SO POWERFUL THAT EVERYONE, EVEN THE WIZARD, FEARS ME!" Suddenly, I felt like I lost control of my body and I dropped.

I should have known better. I thought.

"Fiyero," Glinda stated. "Elphie is gone. She took the Grimmerie." I struggled to get up and looked around.

"Elphaba!" I called out.

"This isn't good." Glinda stated. "This isn't good at all." Glinda and I searched the house. I checked all the secret passageways and hiding places. We couldn't find Elphaba anywhere.

"Chistery?" I asked. "How long have we've been out?"

"Two.... Hours...." Chistery replied. I looked over at Glinda.

"Stay here in case she comes back." I stated. "I'm going to look for her."

"Why can't you let me help you?" Glinda asked.

"I'd rather not piss her off more than she already is." I stated. "Plus, I know the forest better than anyone else around here.... Plus, I think I know where she is."

"Where?" Glinda asked.

"Our spot." I replied. "It's a special spot in the forest that... Well, means a lot. It was where we released that lion cub -"

"The Cowardly Lion." Glinda stated.

"And it's where we expressed our love to each other and conceived the baby." I stated. "Now, if she comes home, Chistery can find us." I took off into the forest.

☆Elphaba's POV☆11 weeks ago...Fiyero and I ran into the forest. Fiyero pulled me close to him and kissed me. I kissed him back.

This is a dream. I thought. This is a wonderful dream.

"What is it?" Fiyero asked.

"It's just...." I mumbled. "For the first time... I feel... Wicked." Fiyero and I kissed passionately. Fiyero pinned me to the ground and began kissing my neck. I smiled softly as we made love.

"I have waited for this." Fiyero stated.

"I just wish..." I stated.

"What?" Fiyero whispered.

"I just wish," I stated. "I wish I could be beautiful... For you."

"Elphaba..." Fiyero stated.

"Don't tell me that I am," I stated. "You don't need to lie to me."

"It's not lying," Fiyero stated. "It's... uh... it's looking at things another way. Someday, you and Glinda will make up and we'll all..." Something inside me hit me. I suddenly heard a gust of wind.

"Shh." I stated. Listen... Do you hear that?"

Present Day....I sat against a tree, trying to calm myself down. I know Glinda and Fiyero meant well, but I would never hurt my baby. I didn't save Fiyero to hurt him. I saved him out of love. I tried not to go off the handle, but the thought of me wanting to put mine and Fiyero's baby in danger should have never left their mouths.

"Elphaba!" Fiyero called out. "Fae! Where are you?!"

"Over here." I stated. "What do you want?"

"To apologize." Fiyero stated. "We were so concerned about the baby, we didn't take your feelings into consideration. Glinda and I wanted to protect you." I sighed.

"I'm sorry I blew off the handle." I stated. "I got so angry. I just got so defensive."

"Just so you know," Fiyero stated. "I am also worried about our family. I fear for both of you. You two are all I have left. With you getting such bad nausea and this possibly is our only baby. I love you both."

"We love you too." I stated. I crawled over and hugged Fiyero. Fiyero kissed me and smiled.

"You two wanna come home?" Fiyero asked.

"In a few minutes," I replied. "It is a beautiful night. Plus, I love this spot. You can see the stars better here than at home." Fiyero cuddled up to me.

"This place is special." Fiyero stated. "It's where I held your hand for the first time.... Kissed you the first time...."

"Knocked me up." I teased. Fiyero kissed me and chuckled.

"And it was worth it." Fiyero stated. Fiyero kissed my bump and rubbed it. I kissed the top of Fiyero's head. Fiyero kissed me and smiled.

"Why don't we get married here?" Fiyero asked. I raised an eyebrow.

"Really?" I questioned. "Here? Where we conceived our baby?"

"We just leave that part out." Fiyero replied.

"Can we focus on getting you home permanently first?" I asked. Fiyero kissed me.

"Alright," Fiyero stated. "Let's focus on that."
