Prologue:

"Ahh~"

A small baby reached her chubby arms up to her father, grasping the air as she gurgled. Cheeks glowing bright red from the nonstop giggling, the baby shone with happiness. A tuft of brown hair was a wavy mess on the girl's head and her blue eyes reflected the face of her daddy.

Gazing upon the sight of her husband holding their newborn child, the foreigner couldn't help but smile. "Blood? What name should we give her?" Alice finally asked, sitting on the bed in a fresh gown. Her face was shining but also exhausted. Labor was not an easy thing.

"A name befitting the daughter of the Hatter." He proclaimed, shifting his hold on the newborn, and sat on the edge on the bed.

"Very funny, Blood." The brunette rolled her eyes, scooting closer to him anyway. "Should we name her April? It is April season."

"Season belonging to Joker you mean."

"They're not that bad. What about Juliet?"

"I don't plan on having a daughter who dies at the age of 13 for an inferior little boy."

"Blood, please."

"Bu!"

Both parents stopped and looked at their little girl, as she glanced back and forth at the pair of emerald and turquoise eyes focused on her. She blinked and turned her head to Alice, speaking in baby gibberish.

"I do believe she is objecting your tastes in names, wife." Blood chuckled.

Alice frowned, "Yes, because you can understand what she is saying."

"Why don't we name her after tea?" He asked thoughtfully, poking a small chubby cheek, and making the girl laugh.

"Your tea fetish is showing," Alice shook her head, "and I'm not naming her after Flowery Orange Pekoe tea."

"No, I was thinking more along the lines of Earl Grey. Grey would be lovely for her."

"Then what about Gray? I don't think it'd be smart to give her the same name as him."

"The Lizard can change his name."

After a time period or two, Alice finally agreed to Blood's suggestion. However, during the period, Alice had been listing reasons not to use Grey as their daughter's name while Blood ignored her 'forceful advice' and rocked their child to sleep.

Alice sighed, "Now how are we going to differentiate between our baby and Gray?"

"You're quite welcome to call him Lizard as I have been doing." The Mafioso offered.

"Blood." Alice restrained herself from punching Blood. She didn't want her first child to hit the floor and get hurt. Instead, she settled for pouting and glaring.

Seeing her antics, the Mad Hatter smirked before he felt little Grey move in her sleep. Peering into her face, he smiled, "You look just like your mother. I wonder what you inherited from me."

Hearing this, Alice snorted, "Hopeful not your personality."

Ignoring the remark, Blood handed the child to Alice, "Now that we've named Grey, I have some work I need to finish."

"Alright, do your best." Alice gently rested Grey in her arms as Blood softly closed the door.

Now alone with her baby, Alice lightly tapped one small closed fist with her finger and watched. The girl took hold of the foreigner's finger and held it while she continued sleeping.

Her mother smiled, "How cute, I'll have to show Vivi this."

Hello there, I'm the author (You can call me Mauve instead of my full username) and this is my first story I've written on here. Thank you for taking the time to read my prologue. I hope you'd kindly review and tell me about any grammatical and spellings errors along with suggestions you have about this story.
