Elphie Returns

Deep Breathing

Four-ish months later July 24
Glinda walked through the halls of her house. Her stomach was bigger than ever.
Suddenly, she cried out.
"Boq! Elphaba! Nick!"
The three came running.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Elphaba yelled.
"The baby is coming!" Glinda shouted.
"Are you sure?" Boq asked.
"Yes, i'm sure! Once you have a freaking person inside your body you can feel this!"
"Look, honey, i know pregnant woman are moody but-"
"I'm not moody, you're freaking moody!"
"Okay. I am going to call the hospital now."
Boq walked away.
"Glinda, keep breathing," Elphaba advised. "In, out, in, out."
"I know how to breath!" Glinda winced. "No i don't, tell me tell me!"
"In, then out. In, then out. Okay?"
"Yeah. Okay. Alright. In. Out. In. What next?"
"Out."
"Right, out. WHERE IS MY HUSBAND?"
"I'm here, Glinda, don't worry. Are you okay?"
"No i'm not okay! Do i look okay? I'll kill you all!"
"Think of the baby, Boq. Think of how beautiful it will be. That's it," Boq muttered.
Soon enough, the ambulance came and took Glinda to the hospital. Boq rode with her, and Nick and Elphaba drove behind.
After lots of pain and things i won't desrcibe, crying broke the air.
"Congratulotions!" The nurse said, "on your baby girl."
The nurse handed Glinda the newborn.
"She's beautiful," Glinda breathed.
Glinda handed her to Boq. "Hi!" He whispered. "I'm your dad, and that's your mom."
Elphaba knocked on the door. "Can we come in?"
"Yeah," Glinda told.
"That's Elphaba and Nick, your godparents," Boq told the baby.
He handed his daughter to Elphaba, who looked at the child with awe in her eyes. "Good morning! Sleep well?"
"You better have," Glinda huffed.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" A nurse asked.
"Yes," Glinda answered. "Her name is Kristi. Kristi Dawn."
