I was inspired by Alice Sun Liddell to write a series of one-shots, in each of which, Alice is married to a different role-holder and has a kid/kids. I'll be going in the order she met them in the manga, so, as always, Peter White comes first. Let the cute overload begin!
Starting a Family the Wonderland Way
Paring: Peter X Alice
"AHHH!" Alice's pained scream echoed through Heart Castle. Outside the guest room, the Queen, the Knight, and the King waited anxiously, while the main cause of Alice's agonized cries waited within.
"Push, Alice, my love," Peter urged comfortingly. "I know how strong you are. I know you can do this." Alice panted, sweat dripping from her face, before giving a groan of effort. Alice had been in labor for two time periods, and Peter was starting to worry that his beloved wife would die from pain and blood loss before she could give birth to his child.
"Just one more big push, Mrs. White," a Faceless maid said. "We can see the head!" Alice groaned, squeezing Peter's hand, then moaned in exhaustion. Not even a second later, there was a new cry, high and small. "Congratulations, Minister White," the maid said, swaddling the baby and handing it to its father. "You have a beautiful baby girl."
Peter gazed down at the small face of his daughter, a warm smile spreading on his face. The little girl calmed down, gazed up at her father with curious green eyes. She looked just like her mother, but her ears were those of a rabbit! she was so cute, Peter almost couldn't speak. "Look, Alice," he said at last, moving to show his wife their child. "We have a daughter. Isn't she beautiful?"
Alice nodded, exhaustion showing on her sweet face. "This is the proudest moment of my life," she said softly, taking her child in her arms. "Right up there with marrying you, Peter."
The White Rabbit smiled happily, hugged his Alice gently, not wishing to cause her more pain. But only moments after he drew away, Alice gasped as the pain started up again. "Minister White, take your daughter from her," the maid advised. "She's about to give birth again."
Twins? Peter wondered. It made sense, since he was a rabbit. Rabbits gave birth in large numbers. Now a new fear hit him. What if Alice's small body could not handle giving birth multiple times in a row? But he didn't have time to worry. Alice needed him now, more than ever! Five minutes later, she gave birth to a second girl, but this one looked a bit different.
This girl had heterochromatic eyes - one red, one green - and was half blond, half albino, the colors split down the middle of her head. Though this was a strange sight, there could be no doubt that she was her father's daughter. Before Alice could see her second child, she began to give birth a third time! "Peter, call Vivaldi in here," Alice whimpered. "You only have two arms, and I don't want to risk any of our kids being dropped."
Peter did as she asked. "My Queen, Alice requests your presence," he called through the door. He couldn't open it, and risk losing his grip on either child. Vivaldi came in quickly, stood to Alice's left while Peter was at her left. "Be strong, Alice," the Queen of Hearts said. "We have faith in you, our little sister."
Alice smiled, before pushing out a third baby and fainting. The child was swaddled by the maid and passed to Vivaldi. "Oh, White, you must see how precious your daughter is!" she said in delight. Peter moved around the bed to look at this third daughter. Indeed, she was precious. She was a White Rabbit, just like her father. The moment she saw him, she smiled, babbling happily. Peter felt his heart swell with love, but before he could say anything, Alice awoke, screaming in pain.
She was giving birth a fourth time! Peter and Vivaldi shared a nervous, worried glance. How much more could Alice take? "I'm going to have to resort to a C-section," the maid said. "She's too tired and weak to push again. If she did, the might kill her."
Peter nodded. "Do as you must." he said. No matter what method was used, he wanted Alice to be okay and his children to be born safely. Mere minutes later, the forth and final child - a healthy baby boy - was delivered. The maid stitched the exhausted Outsider's stomach back up as Peter and Vivaldi admired the little boy. He looked just like his father in every way. When Alice came to herself,, they showed Alice all four of her children.
The girl gave a tired smile. "They're beautiful, all of them," she whispered. "We'll name the girls Lilac, Clover, and Rose respectively, and... Peter, did ou decide on a name for our son?"
Peter nodded. "Alexander," he said. "Many great men have used that name. I want our son to join their ranks."
At that point the two men outside the door couldn't contain their curiosity any longer. "Can we come in now?" Ace called, banging on the door. Alice giggled, her strength coming back to her. "Let them in," she said. The moment the door opened, the first one Ace saw was Lilac. Normally, the Knight was only fond of rabbits as food, but Lilac was in a class all her own. That sweet, innocent smile she gave him melted his twisted heart. The Kind noticed Clover. Her strange, mix-matched eyes were striking, like an emerald and a ruby in a porcelain doll's face. He had a feeling that she would make something great of herself someday. As they said hello to all four of the little bunnies, Alice and Peter exchanged loving, proud glances. Though an odd mix, their children were beautiful, and they knew that all four of them were destined for great things.
