Elphaba ran in huffing and puffing "Glinda...as I told you once before, we can't all come and go by bubble, it's a little tricky getting all the way from Kiamo Ko her! What's wrong?"

She picked up the little girl and thrust her forward, "Meet Kay."

Elphie's eyes popped. "Glinda! What...!"

"I don't know what's going on with the spell. As fast as I was magically pregnant, I was magically in labor, and she'd hardly been in my arms ten minutes before she was this size. I don't know what's going on." the little girl reached her hands out in front of her smiling as if wanting to be held by Elphaba.

"I should have known. The hair that was taken from Boq was, in theory about seventeen years old when it was added to the potion. Because of your hair, her growing wasn't instantanious - she didn't spring fully formed, but she'll probably grow very quickly to be the age she would have been had she been conceived when that hair was taken."

"Oh good. So you're saying i'm going to have a seventeen year old in like a week?" she held Kay in close to her. "But I like her this way," she pouted.

"No, not a week! at least a few months."

"I'm supposed to have years to get ready for that..." Glinda sighed. "What will it do to her, do you think? Will it have adverse affects?"

"None at all. Actually one of the odd side effects is that she may, at least part of her, might feel as if she'd been alive since that hair was taken. She'll probably have her schooling already in place, and might even have memories of you two. Like she's from an alternate world. Not too much understand, you'll still have LOTS you have to teach her, but she might be fully formed in more ways than one."

She looked at Boq with pitiful eyes. It was almost harder than not being able to have a child...having one you didn't get to enjoy. She knew they could do it, but she sure didn't want to have to. She wanted the bouncing baby girl in her lap to stay just like that.

"You'll have time sweetie. DOn't worry. And just around the time when you'll be getting annoyed by changing diapers, and all the crying - and believe me, you will no matter how much you love her, she'll grow a bit. You can skip right to all the good parts."

She bounced her on her knees, the little girl giggling as she held on to her mommy's fingers. "I never knew you could love something so much that you didn't know at all..." She'd loved Ellie dearly, treated her like she was her very own, but she never had been. This was a new feeling, a new...something. She couldn't explain it. It was just...there. It was like something had been planted in her heart when she drank that vial and ever since it just grew and grew even though she still barely knew this beautiful little girl before her.

"Now you know...how I feel toward Ellie" it made Elphaba a little sad - Glinda wouldn't love Ellie quite as much ever again, now that she knew the real thing. But maybe now she would truly understand what she and Fiyero had given up for their little girl.
"Well, one things for sure. She'll never need a makeover like I did. Gold hair with a gentle curl. She won't be able to help being popular, no matter how hard she might try!"

"She's mine. Definately mine..." she smiled, looking to her husband, "but she has your cheeks. Those big cherry cheeks." she giggled, "but maybe she'll grow out of it." She laughed a little harder, "Not that I don't love them on you, but unless they stay that cute on her...it's not the feature I would have given her."

"I think she has Boq's eyes. Those kind, bright eyes. And she might be on the shorter side - her Munchkin heriatidge. Though not too much, you are rather tall Boq"
