☆Elphaba's POV☆Present Day....Fiyero looked at me in disbelief.

"You thought I'd abandon you two like that?" Fiyero asked. I slowly nodded.

"I got found out by a clock." I stated. The puppet show continued. The puppets showed a set of twins being born. One was green, the other has Fiyero's skintone. It continued as it showed the twins going to Oz. There was a puppet that looked identical to Madame Morrible taking over the Emerald City and allowing it to burn. It showed the twins saving it. I was appalled.

"We'll be leaving now." Fiyero stated. Fiyero continued down the road towards our cottage.

After we arrived home, Fiyero and I were quiet. You could almost hear a pin drop.

"Fiyero," I asked. "Aren’t we going to talk about that show?"

"I don't want to think about it." Fiyero stated. "That show has had everything right so far. Why not this?"

"There's only one baby." I stated. "I promise, there's only one baby. Dr. Pichler would have smelt it."

"Elphaba," Fiyero stated. "Regardless of how many you're currently carrying, our babies will be in danger. I'm not liking this at all."

"And I do?" I questioned.

"You seem too calm for this." Fiyero hissed. I got a bit scared seeing him like this.

"Fiyero," I stated. "You're scaring me even more than I already am. And believe me, I want to destroy that clock. I don't want that to be true. However, you should never mess with fate."

"But -" Fiyero went to argue.

"This is my punishment for saving you." I stated, tears rolling down my eyes. "Fate is punishing me by giving us this prophecy. This is all my fault." I began crying even though my skin was burning. Fiyero knelt down and wiped away my tears.

"Come here." Fiyero whispered. Fiyero hugged me and cuddled up to me.

"I'm a horrible person." I stated.

"No you aren't." Fiyero stated. "I'm sorry love. It's just that I'm terrified of losing our babies. You are my everything. I want you to know that I will protect you. Okay?"

"Of course." I stated. "I know you do." Fiyero kissed me.

"The loves of my life." Fiyero stated before kissing my bump.

"I shouldn't have waited to tell you." I stated. "I was just so scared to tell you in writing. I didn't want you to leave me."

"I would never." Fiyero stated. "I would have came straight home. I love you so much." Fiyero kissed me.

"I must admit," I stated. "I don't regret saving your life. Otherwise, I wouldn't have anything to live for."

"Our baby." Fiyero stated. "Or babies, I guess."

"How would I have known?" I asked. "We only found out a few weeks back, correct?"

"Yes." Fiyero stated. "You have a point." Fiyero began playing with my hair.

"Tell me," I stated. "How in the name of Oz did I manage to fall for you?"

"What can I say?" Fiyero chuckled. "I'm a charmer. You may of fell in love with my heart, but my good looks are a bonus." I laughed and kissed Fiyero. We just cuddled for the rest of the day.

☆Fiyero's POV☆I took Elphaba to Dr. Pichler. Dr. Pichler took one look at me and sniffed the air a bit. He then took a wand from the ultrasound machine, as it is called, and began to examine Elphaba.

"By the looks of things," Dr. Pichler stated. "We have two, strong hearts." Elphaba began crying, causing her skin to burn.

"Don't cry." I stated. I began drying Elphaba's tears.

"I'm sorry," Elphaba whimpered. "I just can't believe we have two babies. We made two babies." Elphaba cried. I kept wiping her tears.

"Don't be sorry," I stated. "You're burning yourself with your tears." I looked at the monitor and faintly smiled.

"Any questions?" Dr. Pichler asked.

"Nope." I replied. "Let's go, honey." I picked Elphaba up and carried her out.

At home, Elphaba laid on the couch as I brought her food. I placed the food down and sat next to her. Elphaba began to eat.

"We can't avoid it," I asked. "Can we?"

"No," Elphaba replied. "We can't. Madame Morrible is going to burn down the Emerald City. Possibly Oz unless the babies save it."

"The biggest enemy of Oz," I stated. "Is the mother of Oz's two greatest heroes. Liir and Orla."

"How do we know it's one boy and one girl?" Elphaba asked.

"I have a gut feeling." I replied. I placed my hand on Elphaba's bump. Elphaba placed her hand onto my hand.

"I can't believe there's two of them in there." Elphaba stated. "No wonder why I'm growing so quickly."

"Regardless," I stated. "They're both going to be getting a lot of love from us and Auntie Glinda."

"Speaking of Glinda," Elphaba stated. "I expect her to arrive after receiving this letter."

"I'll go make up the guest room." I stated. "Maybe it will be an excuse to finally get married. She'll be here, so we have no excuses."

"Except that I'm too big for my dress." Elphaba mumbled. I knelt down and kissed Elphaba.

"Fae," I stated. "You are beautiful no matter what. I'd marry you if you wore sweat pants to our wedding." Elphaba grabbed a piece of paper and began writing to Glinda.

"I'll tell her about the twins when she arrives." Elphaba stated. "She's going to want to go dress shopping for me."

"Really?" I asked.

"Have you met Glinda?" Elphaba asked. I thought for a moment. During mine and Glinda's "relationship," Glinda shopped a lot. Mostly stuff for herself unless I was making a public appearance that didn't require a uniform.

"Yes," I stated. "I have met Glinda. I am well aware that Glinda is probably going to want to get me a suit as well." I kissed Elphaba and stood up. Elphaba handed the letter to Chistery.

"Can you send this to Glinda, please?" Elphaba asked. Chistery flew off into Oz. Elphaba stood up and looked at me.

"You're glowing!" I beamed.

"Glowing green." Elphaba stated.

"Like a shiny emerald." I stated. Elphaba paused for a moment.

"Wait...." Elphaba stated. "Repeat that?"

"You're glowing like a shiny emerald?" I questioned. Elphaba raised her eyebrow at me.

"Like the bottle that belonged to my mother...." Elphaba mumbled.

"Is everything okay?" I asked. Elphaba shook her head.

"That green bottle had to do with my skin." Elphaba stated. "I know it."
