………………………………
"Hello my love. Are you ready to get out of here?" Glinda asked as she swung open the door and saw her wife shift uncomfortably with the sling around her neck to support her still injured shoulder.
"You have absolutely no idea." Elphaba said only half joking. She had been confined to her room for about a week now, thanks to the doctor who had rattled off possible complications she might experience and in turn scared Glinda in the process. Needless to say she had no choice but just to stay put. But it was not all bad, thanks to her wife she was…entertained to say the least. But thanks to her damn shoulder they could not go quite as far as Elphaba would have liked, and it was starting to get on her nerves.
"Good." Glinda said with a smile planted on her face as she made the short distance across the room and into the waiting arms of her wife. She reached up and planted a small kiss on the corner of Elphaba's mouth, and Elphaba let out a frustrated moan when the blonde pulled away.
"Do you have any idea how much I just want you right now?" Elphaba asked with her eyes slowly opening.
Glinda gave off a devilish smirk. "Oh I think I have an idea." She replied as her small hands made their way down the green witches toned stomach and to the hem of her pants.
Elphaba was about to say the hell with her shoulder and throw Glinda on the bed and take her right there and then, but the soft knock on the door hindered her plan.
Damn it.
Glinda couldn't help but giggle at her wife's apparent uncomfortable situation, but decided this was neither the time nor the place. She reached up and gave Elphaba a kiss that made her toes curl; a kiss that begged for more, and just when Elphaba was about to do just that the blond pulled away and called over her shoulder, "Come in."
Oh how I loath that woman. Elphaba thought as she fought to bring her bubbling arousal under control.
"Well it's about time green bean, I thought I was going to have to make camp outside the door until you let us in." Ana said as she made her way into the room followed closely by Zeke.
Of course leave it to Ana to have just the right timing.
"What can we do for you Ana?" Glinda asked knowing Elphaba was still trying to calm down. "We were just about ready to come and get you and Sid; we are almost ready to leave."
"Actually that's what I wanted to talk to you about." Zeke said stepping up into the conversation. Elphaba noticed he had a strange look on his face and became slightly unsettled. "What if I asked you to stay?"
"Well that's a generous thought Zeke, but we have no place to live in this city, and I would rather not stay here any longer than I have to." Elphaba explained, she hated the feeling of knowing that the people here still could not, or would not trust her, and it gave the older witch an unsettling feeling.
Instead of being disappointed, Zeke simply continued with a small grin upon his face. "What if I told you I have found you a place to live, free of charge, and the best part about it is that you are already there?"
The blond was desperately trying to wrap her head around what Zeke was trying to say. "Wait are you trying to tell us that we can live in the palace…right here, in the heart of Oz, free of charge?"
"That is exactly what I am telling you." Zeke replied.
"What's the catch?" Ana asked, knowing that there had to be one; no one just offers up a free palace without some form of payment.
Zeke hesitated for the first time since beginning, he looked wearily towards Elphaba. "There is no catch…it has always been custom that the ruler of Oz live here."
Elphaba jerked her head up, "What did you just say?"
"Elphaba, with Fiyero gone there is no one left, Oz needs a ruler."
"That doesn't explain why I am the next best candidate." Elphaba spat, "There are plenty of other people out there who could do a decent job and one that everyone is not terrified of."
Glinda rubbed her hands up and down Elphaba's arm knowing that the green woman was upset and wanted to do something to try and calm her down.
"They asked for you Elphaba." Zeke simply stated, causing the blond to stop her movements.
"What?"
"Look, once word got around on how the Wicked Witch defeated the Emperor who was terrorizing the people of Oz, risked her own life to save Glinda the Good, they had a change of heart…they want you Elphaba."
"How do you know they want me, how do you know that they just don't want Glinda the Good back in their lives?"
"Elphie," Glinda tried to reason.
"Don't Elphie me, tell me how am I supposed to trust them when they tried to kill me when I actually tried to help them." For some reason Elphaba could not let her brain wrap around the idea that her heart wanted to be true. "People don't change." She said as she turned her back towards the group and looked out the window.
"I changed." Glinda's small voice spoke up after a few moments of silence. This caught Elphaba off guard, and she slowly turned to face her wife. "You can not stand there and tell me that I am the same person I was in college, or the same person I was when you left me, or the same person before we had a child…I have changed, so how can you still love me?"
The question hit Elphaba full force, how could Glinda even ask her that? Yet, it barely only took a second for the green woman to answer. "I just do." This answer produced big smile on the blonds' lips.
"Then tell me why you can't give the people of Oz the same courtesy…the fact that they killed you has changed them, the fact that you came back has changed them." Glinda said, "Maybe this was all meant to be, this was all fate. You had to die to change them, and then you were meant to come back to change them again."
Elphaba listened to her wife carefully, was what she saying true? Could this all be fates plan, to give her a chance to become something other than an icon for evil? Could it really be?
"But what if I fail, what if I fall and cannot get myself back up?" Elphaba said in a whisper.
"Then I will be there to catch you." Glinda said in a serious manner. She wanted this for her wife, lord knows how long Elphaba has been craving some sort respect with other people, and this was her chance, and she would stay by her side.
Elphaba let out a breath she didn't know she was even holding. "And you're ok with this?" Because I am not going through this without you by my side.
"Elphie I would be ok with you dying your hair blue, and changing your name to Wanda," This caused Elphaba to let out a small chuckle. "As long as I can be right by your side, I'm ok with anything." That's all it took to warp her arm around her wife's neck and draw her into a breathtaking kiss. Once oxygen became a necessity the two women pulled away from their lip lock.
"Thank you." Elphaba said looking into the crystal blue eyes of her wife. She then turned back to the two visitors in the room; Ana who had a huge smile on her face knowing that her friend was so well loved, and Zeke who just stared wide eyed at the public display of affection. Elphaba walked up to Zeke with her signature stride and just stared at the man. Zeke thought she was going to tell him to go to hell, but instead she held out her hand. "Looks like you got yourself a new ruler of Oz," and Zeke grasped her hand and smiled.
………………………………
Sidney Thropp had been sitting on the same bolder for the past two and half hours; her back aching for a new position, she had not been able to feel her feet or hands for quite sometime now due to the bitter cold winds…but she had no will to move.
"You know you stay out here any longer and you might just freeze to that rock." A voice filled through the air with no warning, but Sidney didn't even look back to see who is was, her dark green eyes remained focused on the landscape in front of her.
"Maybe that won't be such a bad thing. What are you doing out here anyways?" Sidney asked.
Zeke carefully made his way over a few rocks and took a seat next to Sidney on similar but small rock. "Your mothers ceremony starts in an hour." he stated, but Sidney did not give him any type of response. "Sidney look, I know I don't know you all that well but-"
"Your right you don't, so don't try and cheer me up, by telling me everything is going to ok, and that I am a strong person and I will get through this because frankly I don't want to hear it.!" Sidney snapped, she knew he didn't deserve this kind of attitude from her, he was only trying to help, but for some reason she could not help herself…she was so angry.
Zeke did not seemed to be taken back by the young witches outburst, even with only spending a short period of time with her, he knew that she kept everything bottled up until it just needed to explode, and today he was the person she was going to yell at… and he could live with that.
"When I was about 13 my younger sister, Jenna, and I went in the woods just below the hill from our house to play." Zeke began. "My parents had told us a hundred times not to go down there without an adult, but being 13 I thought I was invincible." A small smirk spread across his face, but Sidney did not interrupted him so he decided to proceed. "Our favorite game was hide and seek, and of course me being the oldest I got to hide first. It was a good hiding spot too, well hidden behind the tall trees right next to the small pond…I waited for what seemed like forever for her to find me but she never came."
Sidney finally tore her eyes away from in front of her and turned to look at Zeke. "I finally scrambled out of my hiding spot and went to look for Jenna, but I couldn't find her. So I ran back up to the house and got my parents, we looked for hours with the help of some of the neighbors…it was nearly dawn the next morning when one of our neighbors carried my sister up to out house, she was wet and dirty…and not moving." By this time Zeke had turned his head away from the witches uncomfortable stare. "She had fallen into the pond and drowned. For years I had blamed myself for her death, if I had kept a better eye on her, if only I was there to protect her." Zeke got up from his sitting position and knelt in front of Sidney and looked into her eyes and saw a very familiar kind of pain.
"I'm not going to sit here and tell you it's going to be an easy road for you, or that the guilt you feel will not eat you up inside, because it will…but I will tell you that it's not you fault. And I know right now that sounds like a load of B.S. but, just know you have people hear who will help you." And without another word Zeke stood up and walked back towards the palace.
Sidney just sat there in silence for a few minutes, trying to absorb what she had just heard. Zeke's story did not make her feel any better, did not give her hope or closure, what it did was prepare her for what was about to come, and she was smart enough to know that she could not run away from it. It was going to come whether she wanted it to or not, her only choice she had left to make was does she really want to face this pain by herself, or does she want to have someone to lean on.
………………………………
Elphaba had not stopped pacing her new bedroom since she had finished getting dressed over an hour ago. Since the decision was made to move into the palace, all hers and Glinda's things had been moved from their old house and into the palace and were still confined to boxes, so their room was a little cluttered to say the least, but Elphaba still managed to find a place to pace.
"What if this was a huge mistake, what if I totally screw things up, what if I put my family in danger again, what if…"
"Ah, I see your talking to yourself again." Glinda said as she emerged from the bathroom in a very elegant dress, that looked as though it was made just for her. It was a dark blue dress, that came down to the floor, and with only one strap coming across her shoulder. For a moment Elphaba was dumbstruck. Glinda hardly ever wore such a tight fitting dress before the accident.
"You look absolutely incredible." She said as she let her eyes roam up and down her wife's body.
"Thank you." Glinda said with a blush creeping up her cheeks, it still amazed her that Elphaba had the ability to make her blush like a school girl. "I know it's been a while since I've worn something so…young, but it just felt right Ya know?"
"You should wear them more often." Elphaba said with complete seriousness. Once again this comment made Glinda's cheeks turn bright red. Damn that woman.
"So was the conversation you were having with yourself just a minute ago a serious one?" Glinda said it as a joke but seeing her wife's expression she knew it was anything but. "Elphie what's the matter?"
"It's just…what if I'm being too selfish about this whole thing. I mean this is what I've wanted for as long as I can remember, but with you recovering from a serious case of amnesia, and Sidney; who I have yet to see since we told her we were staying, dealing with the loss of Emily, I mean it could be too much stress on both of you." Elphaba said looking everywhere else but at the blond woman.
"Elphie-"
"And what happens if I mess up, and do something to piss them off are they going to come after me again?"
"Elphie-"
"I mean what if they come after you or Sid, what if-"
"Elphaba!" Glinda shouted over her wife's hysteria.
"What?" Elphaba looked bewildered at her wife.
"These 'what if' questions are only going to drive you crazy." She said with a smirk as she stepped over some boxes to get to the green witch. "They are never going to go away, plus my head is fine and what did I tell you before? That no matter what happens I will be by your side till death do us part." She recited as she wrapped her arms around the taller woman's neck. But the word death hung in the air like a heavy weight.
"What about Sid? You and I both know what it's like to loose someone like that, well you more than me considering I knew you were alive but still…"
"She's your daughter Elphie, she is stubborn as all get out." This made Elphaba smile, "She'll come around, and you and I will be here for her as much as we can. Even if she doesn't show it right now, she is as proud of you as I am, and supports you in everyway."
"How do you know that?" Elphaba asked in all honesty, she was afraid her own daughter might not be ok with her mothers being in the 'spotlight'.
Glinda smiled, "Because that trait she gets from me." She reached up and kissed Elphaba fully on the lips, as she brought her hands slowly down her hips. There was a knock on the door that forced the two women apart.
"I swear I'm going to etch a 'do not disturb' sign on that door." Elphaba said once again pissed off that they were interrupted.
"Yes?" Glinda called out.
A young guard poked his head through the door, "It's time Miss."
Elphaba let out along sigh, you can do this. Glinda took the green hand in her own and intertwined their fingers, and Elphaba immediately some of the fear lift from her shoulders. I am not alone.
………………………………
Elphaba could hear the murmur of the large crowed just behind the large doors, and she could feel her pulse start to accelerate. Oh boy.
She cast one last look behind her, and saw two armed guards standing at attention, waiting for her to make her move. Then she spotted Ana and Zeke who had a supporting look on their faces. Her gaze then traveled back to the breathtaking blond who held her heart and soul. Nearly perfect, Elphaba thought to herself as she straitened her posture, fixed her black hat squarely on her head and reached out her hand towards the door.
"Ma wait!" Sidney yelled as she sprinted towards her parents. Sidney was dressed in back slacks and a beautiful green colored top. And at first glance she looked to be her old self once again, but one glace in her eyes would tell anyone that was not the case.
Elphaba smiled at her daughter, "I'm glad you came." Sidney just shrugged.
"Well then lets get this show on the road." Sidney said after a few moments of silence, and stepped back behind her parents and prepared herself to cross the threshold.
Here we go. And with a push the door swung open and a massive cheer rang up over the crowed as Elphaba and Glinda stepped onto the balcony. It was almost too much for the green woman to comprehend, were all these people hear to see me?
The crowed seemed to settle down when a older gentleman with a funny looking hat stepped towards Elphaba, gave her a warm smile and then offered her his hand. With one final squeeze of Glinda's hand she let go and placed her hand in his. Glinda stood beside her daughter, snaking her arm through hers and both watched in pride as Elphaba was sworn in as the new ruler of Oz.
"Do you Elphaba Thropp, promise to uphold the laws of Oz, to protect and defend this great kingdom in time of peril?" The older gentleman asked.
Elphaba knew this was it, the minute she uttered her response there was no going back, that this would change her life forever…"I solemnly swear to do so."
"Ladies and gentleman of Oz, I am proud to bring you the new ruler of Oz…Miss Elphaba Thropp."
A loud roar once again erupted from the enormous crowed, cheers of praise, and hope, and not out of fear, or anger.
Glinda went to Elphaba and hugged her, "You hear that Elphie, that's all for you…the Wicked Witch is finally dead."
………………………………
After making her first public appearance as the new ruler of Oz, shaking everyone's hand, thanking them for coming, and smiling…a lot, Elphaba was wiped out.
"Holy cow! I never knew how much energy those kinds of things took." Elphaba said as she and Glinda walked side by side headed up to their room.
Glinda could not put into words how happy, and proud she was of Elphaba, for facing her fears in order to do something great…but maybe I can show her. "Are you telling me that you are tired your majesty?" She said seductively as she let her hand drift down to cup Elphaba's rear, squeezing lightly.
Elphaba smirked along with her wife, "Well I am pretty tired, if you want me to stay up your going to have to find something entertaining for me to do."
"I think I can manage that." Glinda flirted as she grabbed Elphaba's hand and pulled her towards the stairs that led up to their bedroom.
They raced up the stairs and within moments were plastered against the door. It flew open, banging against the wall with the combined force of their weight. Slamming it shut, Glinda dropped her bag on the floor. She backed up through the large room. Elphaba followed, their eyes never breaking contact. "I need help with my zipper," Glinda said.
Elphaba didn't respond, her belly tight with awareness. Glinda flipped the light on and turned to offer her back to Elphaba. With shaking fingers, Elphaba lowered the zipper gradually, releasing a tiny sob at the sight of so much bare flesh. Unable to help herself, she slid her hands inside the dress, reaching around a trim waist, down slender thighs. She pressed her breasts against Glinda's back and scraped her teeth across the arch of her neck.
Glinda cried out, laying her hands atop of Elphaba's through the material, breathing heavily. "Elphie," she groaned. "Please don't make me wait."
Elphaba pulled her arms up again and pushed the dress from Glinda's shoulders, letting it slip to the floor. Before she could do anything else Glinda reached behind and drew Elphaba's hands forward to cup her breasts, and they both reacted as though touched with electricity. Elphaba made small circles down the blonds torso until it came to rest just above Glinda's panties. "Please." Came the plea from her wife. It had been weeks since they had made love and Glinda knew that if Elphaba was anywhere near the edge of desperation like she was, she wouldn't make her wait long.
Like Glinda had anticipated Elphaba easily snuck two fingers inside her, and Glinda bucked against her arm. "Yes, yes." Glinda whimpered with each passing second. But just as Glinda was beginning to find a rhythm Elphaba broke it. Tenderly she kissed a trail around Glinda's shoulder blades to her collarbone, ending with a final lick to the hollow of her throat.
"Get in bed." Elphaba said a husky voice, as Glinda did as she was told. She slid up on the bed, and for a moment Elphaba just looked at her. "God your beautiful." She breathed as she climbed on top of her wife. Without another word Elphaba quickly pulled the useless underwear down and tossed it away, gazing up into Glinda's dark eyes, and Glinda sucked her bottom lip between her teeth in anticipation.
Elphaba took one of Glinda's breast in her mouth and begun sucking, while her other hand kneaded and pinched the other. Glinda let out a deep throaty moan as the sensation went straight to her core. Elphaba soon switched breasts until she was pleased with her work, and then slowly made her way down Glinda's flat stomach.
She nuzzled in, pleased when Glinda twitched beneath her touch, flicking her tongue deliberately, Glinda spread her legs a little further for better access. Elphaba kissed her deeply, licking as much tender flesh as she could reach. The sound above her became a litany of soft words, both pleading and profane, all spurring Elphaba on. Carefully she pulled Glinda's left leg over her shoulder. A heel dug into the muscles of her lower back, and she couldn't help but smile slightly. Glinda shifted above her, voice leaping when Elphaba's roaming hand skimmed a breast.
Elphaba sensed Glinda's peak approaching, recognizing the quiver of her muscles, the gentle cadence of her movements growing faster. And then she was pulsing beneath Elphaba's tongue, crying out her pleasure, never pausing in her motion.
When all Elphaba could feel was the occasional contraction, she opened her eyes, and looked at her spent wife with a smile. "Your still wearing your clothes." Glinda said with and obvious hitch in her voice.
Elphaba looked down and couldn't help but giggle, "It appears that way."
"Take them off." Glinda said in her authoritative voice. Elphaba rose from the bed and stripped before her wife before climbing back in the bed. Glinda gracefully rolled Elphaba over so she was now the more dominate one. Taking in the green flesh before her she bent down and took Elphaba's ear in her mouth and began to suck.
Elphaba let out a deep throaty moan, and nearly flew off the bed when she felt to small hands graze the very tips of her breasts. "I won't last." Elphaba warned in all honesty, after weeks of waiting, and then watching Glinda minutes ago Elphaba was a walking time bomb.
Glinda abandoned Elphaba's ear and hovered just above her face. "It's all right, we have all night." And with that she placed a fiery kiss on Elphaba's lips. Elphaba cried out when Glinda's hands grasped her already swollen breasts, and her hips lifted in anticipation.
Glinda skillfully snuck two fingers inside her waiting wife, and within seconds Elphaba came, calling out in the silent room.
After a few moments Glinda removed herself from Elphaba and quickly pulled the bed covers over them, as Elphaba scooped Glinda in her arms from behind. Inhaling the blonds scent through her nose. "That was amazing." Elphaba could feel Glinda's back move as she giggled.
"I couldn't agree with you more." Glinda grabbed Elphaba's hand and began to play with her wedding ring.
Then it hit Elphaba, "Hold on don't move." She told her wife as she quickly got up from the bed and began to frantically search through the still packed boxes. Shit where is it?
"Elphie what are you looking for?" Glinda somewhat amused by her naked wife running around frantic.
"Ah ha! There you are!" Elphaba yelled in triumph, as she brought out a small white box with a pink ribbon tied around it. She quickly jumped back into bed and handed the box to Glinda.
"What's this?" Glinda asked automatically taking the offered box. "It's not my birthday, nor is it our anniversary…is it?" Glinda became a little frightened that her memory might not have full come back.
"No, no, this is a 'just because' present." Elphaba said as she leaned against the headboard with her wife.
"Oh I love 'just because' gifts." Glinda squealed as she ripped the ribbon of and opened the box; and she could feel her breath catch in her throat as she saw what was inside. "Elphaba."Glinda breathed as she ran her fingers over the diamond ring. It was the most beautiful ring she had ever seen her life; the band was white gold with tiny diamonds going down, and one big beautiful diamond in the center.
"I took your old ring a few weeks ago hoping I could get it polished up and resized, but this ring just seemed to pop out at me."
"I thought I had lost my ring; I tried so hard to try and hide that from you."
Elphaba smiled, "So do you like it?" She asked somewhat nervous.
"I love it." Glinda responded with a kiss to the lips. Elphaba removed the ring from the box and easily slipped it on Glinda's finger.
"Right where it belongs."
"Thank you." Glinda said as they once again made themselves comfortable, and within minutes Glinda was fast asleep.
Sleep however, did not come as easily for Elphaba. She laid awake just watching her wife sleep.
Everything was going to change, there was still a lot to be said. Elphaba was now the ruler of Oz, her daughter was suffering from a broken heart, Elphaba now had in-laws that wanted to be apart of their lives, and her wife had kept her fathers identity a secrete from her.
So many unanswered questions were running through her head, but when she cast a final glance at Glinda she knew everything would work out.
Because as long as she had Glinda, physically and mentally, her life was perfect. As long as she had Glinda, she was happy.
Elphaba closed her eyes as sleep over came her, tomorrow, we all start to heal.
