☆Fiyero's POV☆Elphaba's now only a few months away from giving birth to the twins. Elphaba decided to cast the spell to disguise herself into her "normal" skin tone. I told Elphaba she didn't have to, but she didn't want to be spotted entering the city just in case the pardon didn't come into effect.

"Are you okay?" Elphaba asked.

"Yes." I replied. "It just feels weird to be human again, that's all." Suddenly, Elphaba yelped. I quickly pulled the carriage over.

No, I thought. Not now.

"Are you okay?" I asked

"Sorry." Elphaba stated. "The babies kicked." I placed my hand on Elphaba's bump. The babies began kicking. I teared up a bit.

"They're definitely kicking." I stated before wiping my tears.

"Don't cry." Elphaba stated, trying to dry my tears without burning her hands.

"Sorry." I stated. "I'm just so happy we're going to finally meet Liir and Orla soon." Elphaba kissed my cheek.

"We still have a few months left." Elphaba stated.

"I know," I stated. "But being a dad is going to be fun. Extremely challenging, but it will be fun." I took my wife's hand and held it.

"You're going to make an amazing dad." Elphaba stated.

"I'm going to do my best." I stated.

"I'm serious." Elphaba stated. "Don't think I didn't see you timing yourself as you practice changing diapers." Elphaba began giggling.

"I was hoping you wouldn't notice." I mumbled.

"I think it's great." Elphaba stated. "The boy who strolled onto Shiz's grounds and decided to throw a party at the Ozdust Ballroom, while breaking every rule possible, would not be allowed near my babies. The man who released the lion cub, protected me from being arrested, and allowed me to use the castle in Kiamo Ko on the other hand is the one I want to be the father of all my babies." I chuckled.

"So," I stated. "We're going to have all the babies."

"Just one or two more." Elphaba stated. "I'm not having so many babies."

"I know." I stated. "I would never make you do something you don't want to do." I kissed Elphaba and smiled.

"I feel huge." Elphaba stated.

"Do you know what I see?" I asked.

"What?" Elphaba asked.

"When I look at you," I stated. "I see stars. So many stars tonight you could make diamonds dull, You are so beautiful. I see stars, you shine as bright as day." Elphaba chuckled and kissed me.

"I love you so much." Elphaba stated. We pulled up to the boarder of Oz. I took a deep breath as a guard looked at me, then at Elphaba.

"State your business." The guard stated.

"We seek Glinda the Good." I stated.

"What for?" The guard asked.

"I'm Fiyero Tigelaar." I stated. "My wife is Elphaba Tigelaar." A palace guard jogged over and whispered something in the border guard's ear.

"Go ahead, sir." The border guard stated. We made our way into Oz.

"Welcome home, Fae." I stated.

☆Elphaba's POV☆Fiyero and I arrived in the Emerald City. We went straight to the palace, only to be greeted by Glinda and Ione.

"Mama," Ione whispered. "I thought you said Aunt Elphie was coming with Uncle Fiyero."

"That is your aunt and uncle," Glinda stated. "Aunt Elphie is just in disguise, don't you worry hun." My disguise spell wore off, turning me skin back to green.

"That spell had another 18 hours before it wore off." Fiyero stated. "Are you okay?"

"My magic isn't as strong as it used to be." I stated.

"Come lay down." Glinda stated. "I had the guest bedroom made up for you." We went into the guest bedroom. Glinda had made sure I had all my favourite snacks on hand. I laid down. Fiyero laid down next to me.

"I think the babies are taking most of my energy." I stated, grabbing an apple and began slowly munching on it.

"Why would they affect your magic?" Fiyero asked. Glinda thought for a moment.

"Emotions affect Elphie's magic constantly." Glinda stated."When Mme. Morrible tried to take Nessa away from Elphaba, I remember her anger caused Nessarose to go flying around. It was fascinating to say the least. Anger is her strongest emotion, hence why she can't control her magic when she's mad. However, she feels exhausted as of right now."

"I feel fine." I stated.

"For two minutes," Fiyero stated. "Because the babies kept kicking you."

"The babies are kicking?!" Glinda cheered.

"Yeah," I stated. "Come feel. I can especially feel Liir kicking up a storm." Glinda walked over and placed her hand on my bump. The babies began kicking again.

"Elphie!" Glinda beamed. "This is so exciting!"

"It's been keeping me up all night." I stated. "Which doesn't help with all my energy draining. Never have a baby, Glinda."

"You may wanna tell that to my new fiancé." Glinda stated.

"You're getting married?!" I shouted.

"Fae," Fiyero stated. "Keep calm."

"Yes," Glinda stated. "His name is Sir Lord Chuffrey. He's a baron from Gillikin country."

"And does he know about Ione?" I questioned.

"Yes." Glinda replied. "He knows I adopted Ione. He's okay with it, don't worry."

"Do you love this Chuffrey guy?" Fiyero asked.

"Yero." I stated.

"What do you mean Fiyero?" Glinda asked.

"I know I proposed to Elphaba when I found out she was pregnant," Fiyero stated. "But, I was going to marry her regardless, it just happened sooner than I wanted. Then again, we also didn't plan on having a baby so soon, but life decided to throw us a curve ball. Regardless, Elphaba and I love each other. So, do you love Chuffrey or no?" Glinda paused for a moment.

"I am marrying him to keep Gillikin country in Oz." Glinda stated. "Just like our engagement, it is all about the politics."

"I wouldn't marry someone without some sort of emotional connection." Fiyero stated. "Why should you?"

"Fiyero," I stated. "Please. It's her life. You can't control it." Fiyero sighed.

"You're right." Fiyero stated. The three of us began talking about the babies.
