-Rachel pov-

It has been a month of having Abby with us and what a month it has been. We have been getting along a lot better and have finally talked it all out. Everything has been going very great. But I am worried right now.

We have no idea where Abby is at. She came with us to our Wicked Dress Rehearsal. We have been looking everywhere for her. Quinn even went up top to the rafters to search. 

"We will find her" We hear laughter and all share a duh look "We should have checked everyone on stage"

We all rush toward the stage to see everyone around a green Abby. Our Vocal Trainer Mike is standing in front of her. Jessica, one of the Stage Crew, looks at us with a smile. She motions to be quiet and we stand back.

We go from Mike to others showing her how she needs to move. I share a look of confusion and love with the girls. Our little girl looks amazing out there right now. She will be a Broadway Star if she sticks with it and wants to.

We all agreed we would never push her for anything like this. It can be a very cut throat industry. We know she may not want this life so we will not force her. But for now we are recording on San's phone.

"Alright!" She sounds so excited "I READY!"

"John!" Sound Tech John looks down ready as he gives a thumbs up "HIT IT!"

Someting has changed within me
Someting is not the same
I'm though with playin by
The rules of someon else game
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my insects
Close my eyes and leap

It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defyin gratity
And you won bing me down

I'm though acceptin limits
'Cause someon say they so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll neve know
Too long I been fraid of
Losing love, I guess I lost
Well if that's love, it comes at
At much too high a cost

I'd sooner by defyin gratity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defyin gratity
I think I'll try defyin gratity
And you won't bing me down


Un'mited
My future is un'mited
And I just had a vision almost like a propecy
I know it's sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision hazy
But I swear someay I'll be

Fly so high (I'm defyin gratity)
Kiss me goodbye (I'm defyin gratity)

So if you care to find me
Look to the wesern sky
As someon told me lately
Everyone deserves the chance to fly
I defyin gratity
And you won bing me down!
Bing me down!
Bing me down!
Ah

We all cheer as she looks around happily. She pauses when she sees us and looks nervous. We run over and pick her up while cheering her on. She laughs as we spin her around.

Our little girl is a talented little girl! She has a great voice and stage presence already. We all get to where we need to be as Quinn directs us with Abby. I look out and take a deep breath.

I am in my paint and about to step when I feel a hand tug my dress. I look down to see it is Abby. She hands up the hat she was wearing earlier. I smile as I take it and take a deep breath before going out on stage.

"Thank you to the special performance by the cast of Wicked!" We all bow and then go take our seats "Now for Lead Actress! The nominees were Santana Berry as Glinda, Rachel Fabray as Elphaba, and June Alverez as Wednesday Adams! The winner is.......SANTANA BERRY AS GLINDA!"

She looks at me in shock and I smile. We have won enough awards and me especially. I hold Abby as she goes up. Abby is clapping like a maniac while Quinn is teary eyed. I do not need a Tony Award anymore to feel special.

I have my family and friends now to feel special. This is Santana's time to have the spotlight. I am going on a break anyways. This belly of mine is only going to get bigger.

Quinn has already taken off because of her pregnancy. Who knew a small girl with twins would make a big belly. Santana is back and we all share a family hug. This is exactly what I have always wanted.

Wicked was a favorite of mine growing up but now it is my favorite cause of my family. Life truly is Wicked.
