And...we're BACK!!!! Here's to the NEW decade!!!!Now let's see what New York has in store for Gabby!!!!

Also just to clarify, no I'm NOT the Gabby in this book. I just wanted a fanfic that finally had my name in it damnit 😂😑

Enjoy my lovelies.
-Gabby 💚

Gabby's POV
I couldn't believe I was back in Brian's house. And the first thing I did was hug my parents.

Apparently they were mortified Brian didn't tell them about me being kidnapped. They unfortunately heard because of waking up early.

"I'm so glad my baby is safe" My mom cried as she kissed me over and over.

"I'm alright mom, and it could have been worse. At least John Deacon was my kidnapper instead of a weird guy"

"I thought John was already weird, being all quiet and shit" Dad said.

"ERIK!!!" My mom scolded. She then paled for a moment and said..."John Deacon...was it really him Gabby?"

"Yes...don't tell me he kidnapped you too when you were my age"

"On the contrary, I knew him once. Having a strong friendship with Brian meant I was friends with all of Queen. John was quiet, yes, but nevertheless a gentleman. He was quite fond of me" My mom explained.

"Maybe too fond of you Clara" Dad angrily replied.

"Is it too late to go to New York?" I asked.

"On the contrary. We found you just in time. And when we go to New York, we'll go see Wicked together Elphie" Adam replied.

"Why Elphie?" Roger asked.

"Because I was Fiyero in the American Tour of Wicked. And Gabby saw a clip of me on YouTube when she first started using YouTube. Never forgot about me since"

"And Elphaba is my dream role Bri" I added.

"Then let's all go to bed" Anita said.

Just as I was going to my bedroom, Brian picked me up bridal style.

"Oh no you're not starlight. You're sleeping with me tonight"

"But But But—"

"The only buts you can talk about are fat bottomed girls"

"But ANITA—"

"Is absolutely alright with it sweetheart. Brian insists you sleep with someone else so John won't try to kidnap you again. But if you don't want to sleep in the same bed as Brian, at least cuddle with him. Or even just say no. Consent is important to both of us" Anita gently cooed.

I burst into tears and fell onto the floor. My sobs racked through my body, Brian and Anita huddling on the floor to comfort me.

"I never had consent before" I sobbed. And the tears wouldn't stop flowing.

"Oh darling what did he do to you?!?!?!?!?!" Anita gently pried.

"John FORCED me to sleep with him. He tricked me by faking his sadness to let me cuddle him in the same bed and...we slept together" I sobbed out.

Anita and Brian looked like they would murder someone.

"How dare he!!!!" Anita said.

"In that case starlight-" He gently pulled me up from the ground—, "Will you do me the honor of letting me cuddle your sweet self in my arms until tomorrow?"

I giggled at my best friend. He's truly the best friend I've ever had.

"You're the best friend ever Brian. I'd be absolutely delighted" I told him.

He again picked me up gently bridal style and let me sit on the bed.

"Now starlight, you don't have to cuddle too long" Brian told me.

I was so exhausted I nodded and the next thing I knew, I was fast asleep.

Brian's POV
I was snuggled into my pillow when I heard a whimper.

"NO. NO. Please don't kill him John!!"

What was Gabby talking about?

"Please...I'll marry. Just don't kill Brian"

"No, don't hurt me. No, no no!!!!"

Starlight, my STARLIGHT is having a nightmare.

"Starlight wake up. Starlight! STARLIGHT!!!"

Gabby woke up and started to cry.

"I'm so sorry. I'll sleep in the other room, I can cry alone. I woke you up, Bri-"

I just shushed her, because she was my starlight. I always took care of her, even since she was born.

Being friends with a time traveler has its perks, and raising Freddie's daughter was one of them.

But right now, I was focused on the sad little soul in front of me.

"It's alright, darling. Don't cry. The hedgehogs are sleeping and they're safe, just like you are"

"I'm sorry for be-, being prickly" Gabby hiccuped through her tears.

"You can never be prickly, and right now we are going to bed"

Gabby shivered against my chest.

"I can't"

So I decided to hold her close and start to sing.

Ooooooooooh, love of my life, you've hurt me.
You've broken my heart and now you leave me.
Love of my life can't you see?
Hurry back, hurry back. Don't take it away from me because you don't know what it means to me.

Gabby sniffled but she listened to the beat of my chest and the sound of my voice.

Before long, I fell asleep, not finished the last verse but feeling a presence I swore only one person could have, but he's not alive.

Freddie's POV
Poor Gabby. John REALLY traumatized her. She couldn't even sleep without having a nightmare about her kidnapping.

Way to fuck things UP, John!!!

Even when fast asleep, both Brian and Gabby displayed distress.

So I did something I never did, not since I was alive: I sang.

Oooooooooooh, hurry back, hurry back.
Don't take her away from me because you don't know what she means to me.
Love of my life, love of my life.
Oooooooooh, yeah

And then I kissed Gabby goodnight. I even went to Brian and gently pushed a curl out of his face, kissing his cheek.

"I love you so much Brian. You and my daughter don't deserve this pain"

"I think they'll be alright Fred" A certain voice quipped in my ear. I sighed.

"I know Jim but I worry about them" I replied as he rubbed my shoulder.

"Well then, I'll go meet my daughter in New York. I'll guard her Freddie. I'm her father too" 

Jim and I hugged. We know our daughter will remember everything soon.

October 28, 2018: 2 days BEFORE the New York Premiere
"Wait Brian!!!! I don't have a dress" I replied to Brian.

"Oh yes you do starlight"

If Freddie made this dress...

"It's suppose to be a just because present but I think you deserve it now" Brian said.

Then Brian showed me a beautiful dress:

The dress was green...except it had-

"Stars!"

"For my starlight, Gabby" Brian smiled.

I hugged him so tight. Now, it's off to New York, and the gay scene...I think?

Adam's POV
Gabby and I walked down the streets. A tight crowd, but it felt like home.

"Wasn't Wicked grand Elphie?"

Gabby giggled at my nickname. But she was my Elphaba, because she as long as she was mine, I was happy. I knew I wasn't her lover, but Fiyero believed in Elphaba and loved her enough to save her. And that's what I saw in her.

"It was Fiyero. Although I do wish you were at the stagedoor with me"

"It's for the best. Didn't want to steal the Fiyero's attention"

"Heeey. You know you're always going to be my Fiyero. And Elliot aka Starchild. And Adam Lambert, the boy who always has my back"

"You really are amazing. Now come on, let's go and dance at the club"

"It's not a gay club? Is it?" Gabby groaned.

"Gabby, Brian would have my HEAD if I did such a thing. And no, it's not an alcoholic club. It's just a place you can dance. I insisted the manager to have just a night of dancing and he said yes"

"What am I getting myself into?" Gabby smacked her forehead.

"The club's AMAZING!!!"

"Ah, Mr. Lambert" The manager exclaimed.

"Well, dance the night away darlings. After all, it's New York!!!" Mr.Melina replied.

Gabby's POV
I didn't want to dance. I just sat at the bar and got myself a nice tall cold glass of water.

"I sat here alone at bar too once. All by myself and then a certain man showed up" A male voice popped up.

I looked at him and saw it had to be...Jim Hutton!!!

"Ah so you DO know who I am?"

"Frankly, yes. You're Freddie's boyfriend. Or was it gardener?"

"Both actually. And we were husbands, at least to each other anyway"

"So is this what the gay scene was like?" I asked Jim.

"Actually little bloom, it was MUCH more crowded. Men with a mustache, tight jeans and a white tank top...oh the glory days" Jim sighed as he recalled.

"Of course you only fancy me right darling?" Freddie replied as he kissed him on the cheek.

"Well...I think we should show her what New York and the gay scene was like: DANCING!!!"

I was dragged to the dance floor by Jim, Freddie smirking from the bar.

"Move your hips, like this. Let the beat help your seduction and just have fun" Jim said as he spun me around in a dance. 

As I danced by myself, I heard some wolf whistles at me. Screw the men, I'm just a woman having fun.

Adam was smiling cause finally I was having fun and letting loose, just like he does.

NEW YORK PREMIERE
So as always, I was dressed. This time I decided to bring Mercury with me instead of her sneaking in my purse.

She even wore a green bow tie around her neck. This time Brian and I went straight in for fear of me being kidnapped again and because I was too excited to see the movie again.

I sat down afraid if I would get flashbacks again. My head was spinning so much at the thought of Freddie.

As we watched Freddie and Mary break up, Freddie noticed the tears in my eyes.

I spoke in my mind, "I wouldn't have taken off the ring. I'd wear it near my heart, even if I was never your wife"

Freddie replied, "I know darling, I know"  

I felt even more sorry for Freddie as he argued on the screen.

"You have FAMILIES, ALL of you!!!!"

Suddenly my head started to spin.

Not another flashback!!!!

Flashback begins

"Dad!!!" I laughed as we played Killer Queen together.

"Gabby Mercury, you really have it in your blood just like your papa" Jim smiled.

"You are every inch my daughter, and I thought I would never have children"

"But I love you dad"

"I know. It's just, one time when we toured, I yelled to the boys that they ALL had families and I don't. I always wanted my own daughter because a son could carry my name but a daughter would ensure both my memory AND her special talents as a woman. I wanted to sing my baby girl to sleep, kiss my little darling when she cried. And we would have music in the house always. I wanted that so badly but I pretended not to because-" Freddie couldn't finish because he was about to cry.

"Because you're gay, and gay men can't raise children" I finished for him.

"You are so much like me, my Eurydice. You even know how to finish my thoughts when I'm speechless" Freddie smiled bittersweetly.

"You'll always have me Freddie Mercury, because I'm PROUD to be a Mercury-Hutton. You have only one child, but I'm glad that child is ME!!!"

We both hugged on the piano bench.

"I finally have the family I always wanted" Freddie murmured.

Flashback over

Oh my god!!!! Why would Freddie call me Eurydice? I called him DAD!!!!

Could I be the reason Freddie had a family?

What if what John said IS true? That I can't remember who I really am. 

John Deacon was never one to lie. That I DO know for sure.

They played Who Wants to Live Forever as they showed the AIDS crisis. In this moment, I knew Freddie would die.

Back then, it was a death sentence. If being gay was to be abandoned by society, then AIDS was the death sentence society placed to punish the wicked, or what they thought was wicked.

I couldn't stop my sobs and I just left my seat, crying as I left.

I went and slid down a wall and just huddled my knees, all alone.

Freddie saw me sad and just hugged me. He knew I missed him.

"Oh Freddie...why can't time be reversed? I wish you had lived longer" I sobbed.

Mercury, my kitten, was sad too but purred against my chest, making sure I was okay.

Brian and Roger found me outside the theatre in the hallway.

"Oh starlight, I shouldn't have brought you here"

"I'm so—"

"Shhhhhhh...it's okay little one. Come here. I miss him too Gabby. I miss him from the day I couldn't even say my last goodbye to him" Roger murmured in my ear.

Roger's blue eyes were always beautiful but in that moment where he too was on the floor, wiping my tears, they shined like diamonds, ocean blue glistening with tears.

"It's okay little starlight " Brian cooed.

"No it's not. He died without children. He died of an AWFUL disease that he could have lived if he just held on longer" I sniffed.

By the time we got back home, everyone was exhausted. But I was the only one awake in my room, and I didn't want to disturb Brian and Anita.

Freddie's POV
I popped into Gabby's room, but at this point Gabby was just numb. I felt so guilty. If only I could tell her the truth, that she IS my daughter. 

I sat on the edge of her bed, mindful of Mercury sleeping. I'm so glad she loves her little kitty.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made you go to the premiere"

"No it's okay Fred. I missed you, for so long, and seeing that film reminded me of what could have been" Gabby cried out.

She sobs and adds, "I would have been your friend. I would have made you less lonely"

"Believe me darling, you did more than that" I sighed. If she only knew just how much she has given me.

My little Eurydice yawned, so I just gently kissed her temple.

"Bedtime my little queen. Tomorrow's a new day, and the dawn will smile when you awake" I told Gabby.

I tucked her in and before you know it, she was fast asleep. I kissed my little girl's cheek.

"Goodnight my darling daughter. I love you so much" I whispered to her ear.
