Disclaimer: I do not own Alice in the country of Heart/Clover/Joker/toybox/Diamond or the characters. I make no profit from this story it doesn't belong to me, it belongs to Quinrose.

The young foreigner by the name of Alice Liddell was currently walking down an almost deadly silent street, if it wasn't for her excited and a grinning boss/friend Nightmare next to her. Thinking back three days ago, and how she got into this…this.

Yesterday (Night period):

"Not again." Alice said getting off the bed and running to the bath room, kneeling down in front of the toilet *Blechhh* "Alice, Maybe you should go to the doctors, you've been sick for a days now." Gray suggested rubbing her back and holding her hair out of her way, as he kneels down next to her. "No it's OK, don't worry. I probably just have a cold or something; I'll be fine in-." She tried to say, but couldn't because of her "problem". 'Gray is so sweet. But he shouldn't worry about me. He has enough on his plate with Nightmare.'

"Take off some more time off work to rest. If you're still sick the next morning I'm taking you to the doctors." He ordered in a strict and serious tone as he got up off the ground. "I'm fine; don't worry about me so much." She responded as she flushed and turned around towards him, her back to the toilet.

"Don't tell me not to worry about you, now come on, and let's get you in to bed." Gray said lifting Alice up gently bridal style. "Gray! I can walk on my own." She said completely flustered with her head on his shoulder and her hands trying to cover her blush.

"What kind of a man would I be if I didn't take care of my lover when she's sick?" He said as he kissed her forehead and walked back in to his bedroom. In just a few seconds he was laying her down on his bed, pulling the big fluffy blankets over her. He walked over to his desk grabbing the trash can, by the time he arrived back to the bed (not even a minute) she was fast asleep. "Sweet dreams, Alice." He whispered to her and kissed her on the cheek before crawling in next to her and holding her in his arms while he also fell asleep.

(In the Dream Realm)

"Nightmare !?" Alice questioned as she say the young dream demon floating above her head with a worried expression on his sickly face. "Are you Ok? Gray won't tell me what's wrong; he just locked you in his room and won't even let me in. Big meanie!" was all he said as he landed on to the nothingness floor, to worry to even smoke. And that was when she showed him a sweet smile and tried to pretend she was feeling better "I'm fine Nightmare just a small flu or something. Unlike you I don't need a hospital." She said sticking her tongue out at him, but even though he flinched at the horrid word he could read how bad she felt. How worried she too was, not for being sick, but for Gray, for him taking caring for her. 'I can't believe I've worried him so much. And now he will skip work to take me to the hospital. I'm horrible!' she thinks. "Sigh, guesses I have no chose. I'll take you." Nightmare said this being the first time he has ever volunteered to go to the hospital. "Huh?" Alice said dumb founded at what he said 'ha-ha, I must be dying, yep dying, it's the only way…only way Nightmare were ever do that. I mean this is the man who flinches at even the thought of a doctor."

"Stop insulting me! If you don't I'll take back my offer. You should be glad someone as great as me is willing to go to such a place for you." He responded with a (Fake) superior air around him. "Thank you, Nightmare!" She said with a pitying look as she hugged him.

(Back in Wonderland)

"Umm…Stupid Nightmare." Alice mumbled as she awake to a morning time prepared. 'Damn' she felt Gray's arms around her and his head buried into her upper back. She slowly and quietly sat up as to not wake him, and then looked behind her where she saw his sleepy face which had a hint of loneliness from the loss of his pillow. "sigh." As she released a relieved sigh and got up a strong hand grabbed her and gently pulled her in to a hard chest, so she was knelling with her feet off the bed. "And where do you think your sneaking off to so early!?" bed headed (and very sexy) Gray said as he caged her in his arms. "If I remember correctly you promised to go to the doctors if you're still sick in the next morning and guess what time it is!?" he added with a seductive chuckle.

"Don't you have work? You've already missed for me twice; you have so much work piling up." She said as she buried her head into his chest, her arms around his neck. With his arms around her waist, and his face buried in her hair, he answered with only three words.

"You're more important."

"Gray…" before she could say anything he had kissed her and laid her down under him as he moved his lips to her neck, and his hands roaming. "Looks like you're doing better…maybe we can do something other than the doctors." He said with a suggestive look, but then all of a sudden a look of horror appeared on her face, she pushed him off and ran to the restroom *Blechhh*

"Doctor's it is." He said as he removed the sheet and attempted to get up, before realizing he had his own problem.

(Nightmare's office after they have both taking care of there situations)

"So you're taking her to the doctors? ...The world's ending isn't it!" he said with a slightly horrified expression. "Ugh! I'm doing this for her, so don't be so mean." Nightmare childishly wined as he stuck his tougne out at his nanny, grabbing his coat and scarf he ran to the door "I'll wait down stairs for you." Both of them stared dunb founded, staring at the door the happy incubus just went through. Alice was the one to end the silence with a realization "If he's takes me he won't have to work." Then they both shared a look of understanding of his unusual happy attitude. "You should go." He said kissing her and walking her and Nightmare out, before getting busy on his extremely backed up work.

(1 time period latter: Doctor's office, Alice's POV)

"How much longer… He's taking forever…" Nightmare says as his movies his head onto his folded arms, looking up at me with a pout, 'and the wining continues.' At this thought he exploded "I'm not wining, I'm just saying we've been here forever. I wanted to go to this new café with you before that evil subordinate takes you away and tries to make me work again." He yells dramatically hugging me like his life depended on it and looking up at nothing like some tragic hero. As I pushed him off of me I yell whispered at him "Nightmare, be quite, this is a doctor's office, people are sick here. They don't need you screaming at the top of you lungs about how so very unfair your life is so zip it." A knock come from the door. "Miss Liddell is everything alright?" come the worried and slightly scared voice of my poor nurse waiting outside the door.

"I'm fine." Came her muffled embarrassed response, as she buried her head into her hands. "…Ok, um the doctors got your test results. If you ready, I can send him in." She said changing her tone to a happy one. Trying to get my nervousness out I replied that I was ready but I could still hear my voice shaking.

A moment later the door opened and the doctor came in, a vanilla folder in his hands with my name on the tab and my nervousness came back full force making my stomach queasy again as I felt something unpleasant come up my throat. I was able to get to the trash before it came up, I could feel three eyes on me as I leaned over the trash and I felt Nightmare's hand on my back rubbing smoothly as his other helped me hold my hair back. As he led me back to sit he kept his hand on my back, both the doctor and him with concerned expressions on their faces. As I sat there and Nightmare stood by my side I looked at the doctor as he opened up my file, flipping throw pages and pages, mumbling "That's good." and "That looks fine." Till finally on the sixth page he stopped and started with surprise at the page as he mumbled an Oh.

'Oh god, what's with that look? I'm dying aren't I' I thought afraid, but as I turned to Nightmare his face showed more than surprise, it also showed one of the stupidest smiles I have ever see on that face. "What the hell!?" Suddenly Nightmare leaned down and hugged me his face turned to the side, so his ear was on my stomach "Good Job, Gray!" I heard him laugh out. In my confused and worried state I had no Idea what was going on, "Um, what's happening?" I asked as I looked at the two, the doctor was so shocked he hadn't even looked up from the files till I spoke. "Um…well, Miss Liddell you're not sick. You're pregnant." He said finally looking up.

"Come again!" 'I could have sworn he said I was pregnant.' But before he could answer, Nightmare answered for him. "You're going to be a mom!"

(Back to the beginning: Nightmare point of view)

Ah, life is good, with a baby Gray and Alice will be too busy to make me work, take that sour foot medicine, or drag me to get shots. Not to mention how cute Alice's kid will be, luckily with her or his fun uncle Nightmare, they won't be as serious as their parents. I can't help but think to myself as I nodded my head. I turn to see Alice still in a daze as we walk, I turn back to watch were we're going; her thoughts are only baby, kid, pregnant, Gray, and work. All she's been thinking about since she got the news, she's so out of it I had to finish talking to the doctor for her. He calculated her to be only about a week along; since she's an outsider he recommended no work and nothing stressful. He's afraid that given her being an outsider and the father not only being a civilian from this world but also a role-holder this might be a high risk pregnancy. He gave us a name for the best doctor for her and the baby, recommended several books for first time mothers, and even birthing and parenting classes, but I don't think either Gray or her will have a problem especially Gray.

As we get to the end of town the tower right in front of us I look back over at her, she's still in the daze and it's making me worried."Alice, are you ok? You're still all spacey." Finally she looks over at me tears in her eyes which are full of worry and fear. "What am I going to do!?" she barely got out in between sobs as she broke down and nearly fell to the floor. I caught her in time so she landed in my arms, I take her to the nearby park which is always empty at this time period (Evening) under the canopy I sat her and myself on a bench, holding her as she cried her eyes out, in all her time in wonderland I have never seen her like this. "What's wrong Alice?" I ask already knowing the answer of course, petting her hair as she sobbed in to my neck she answered. "I'm a burden to Gray. His already so busy, with work, and taking care of me, and being your mother, how can I make him take care of another person? I'm horrible!"

"He's not my mom!" I nearly yelled almost forgetting the point of this conversation. 'Dam it'

"Alice" I said gently grabbing her check with my hand so she had to look at me as I spoke. "This is Gray you're talking about. The guy who takes in any and all strays (Except Ace) even lions, I think if you tell him his going to be a father, the father of the woman who he loves child he'll be the happiest man not only in this world but also in every world. There is no way in a million billon years he would ever hate you or your child." As I spoke her eyes cleared and a bright smile graced her lips. 'I feel like an idiot, its Grays kid so why the hell was I so worried about. If Nightmare is the one making sense the world must be ending or my hormones are already going crazy.'

"Hey! What do you mean the world must be ending?" ouch, here I am cheering her up and all she does is insult me, so mean. God now I feel sick.

(Alice's POV)

Ha, I must have been out of my mind if Nightmare can see something so obvious but I can't. Well might as well thank him, I leaned over a kissed him on the cheek and hug him then *Cough* I get covered in blood. "Dam it! Nightmare that's disgusting!" I yell as I leave him coughing on the bench as I head to Clover Tower without him. "Alice! Wait up." I hear him yell back as we make our way throw the snow to tell the father of my child the news.
