I do not own Alice in Wonderland.

Chapter 1

Alice sighed as she finished packing the final truck before sending it down rabbit hole to Underland. After she got back she began packing her things and Melody's trucks and made sure they got down hole. She hoped they be taken back to the Marmoreal. Melody was born three years ago from sister but because of her blonde hair and green eyes her sister Margaret and her husband Lowell wanted to get rid of it but she stepped and took her to her grandfather's where she could be raised in peace. After that she and Melody had go Africa to visit her odd mad witch doctor Soran Hightopp who she knew since child even before she fell down rabbit hole the first time when her father was alive.

When she got there she was both happy and sad because Soran was dying and he wanted her to take her of his ideal twin 5 year old sons Duncan and Neil. When the children were sleep she and him talked and she told him everything that happen in Underland and he told her what happen with Nalie his wife. Four days later he passed on peacefully with smile on his have knowing he was going be reunited with his beloved. During those four days she everything she could make him comfortable and get know the boys.

She was lucky she didn't have figure out how to tell the boys that who Melody was or who she was because Soran been telling them that she was the mother and Melody was their baby sister that was she had saved when she was a baby. The boys seemed happy to have little sister and Melody loved having them since she hasn't had anyone play with for long time. Alice smiled as she watched boys and Melody play together. Boys may looked same but they were complete different otherwise. Duncan thought he was brave so whenever she or Melody went he would fellow with a stick in his hand. So she gave him nickname of knight which he seems to love and Melody calls him big brother knight. Neil was very shy and quiet and preferred to hide behind her or Melody. But he was also good at unlocking everything so she gave nicknamed him Keymaster since he was so good.

She giggled at the names but continued on her way towards the rabbit hole as three played in yard. She lead against old willow tree and looked into sky. Shortly after coming from their combined trip she found out Margret was close to delivering another child. Alice only hopped this one wouldn't get abandoned by them like Melody. But she expect the worse and this time she came prepared. Soran gave her a special medication that will allow her body to produce milk when it was time for her sister to give birth. But as she expected her sister and her husband saw him and immensely pushed him away. He had blonde hair like hers and light purple eyes. Alice named him Leroy a name her grandfather always wanted name a boy but no one ever listen to him.

The twins and Melody accepted Leroy easily and understood it was big job to raise a little baby brother. About two months ago Lord and Lady Ascot long with their son went on vacation overseas asking her to watch the house. Seeing as perfect chance she took it.

Absalom who decided to stay with her through all of it had tried to talk to her about everything but every time she dismissed him only stating 'I tell you when I tell everyone when we get back.' After that he huffed and observed everything until Alice was getting closer to go back to Underland. After Leroy was born he decided to go back and tell Marina to prepare a party. Knowing there was no stopping Marina when it came to throwing a party, she allowed him go down to tell the others.

When she got to rabbit hole she noticed Nivens standing there waiting for her. Smiling she sat her trunk down by tree and bent down hug him. "It good to see you." She whispered into his ear.

Nivens hugged her back his little tail wagging happily. "It good see you too Alice, I and rest worried you may have forgot about us again." He said bit sadly

Alice pulled back and scatched behind his ear. "That never going happen again, but would you like know how it happen the first time?" she asked softy

Nivens nod wanting know it. Alice pointed to dead tree. "Do you see where there used be a branch?" She paused allowing him look at space where a branched used be. "Well the first trip back I hit my head pretty hard knocking me out for about two or three days. When I came to, I couldn't even remember what I done day before I fell down hole, and since then everything same before I fell in hole. She explained.

Niven eyes widen. "When I return, I will inform everyone when I get back. I am sorry Alice if you knew how you lost your memories. I'm sure you would said something." He said quickly.

Alice smiled at him. "So how is everyone?" she asked softy

Niven lead against tree. "Well Marina tried throw party after you left but no one want to come without their champion. After that Tarrant went back to work wanting make sure you had clothes when you back and orders came flying in. Thackery and Mally are same, so they haven't changed. After while it stayed like that until we noticed Tarrant staying locked in his workshop. It wasn't until Absolm came and announced you were coming back just like you said but when Tarrant heard that he worked until tea time and to bed time. Everyone been preparing for your arrival." He said proudly.

Alice laughed silently. "That silly mad man, I told him I was coming back. Did Absolm tell you, I was bringing four kids with me?" she asked softly

Niven nod and before he could say anything Alice put her hand to his lips. "Just know I didn't give birth to them but I love them the same, you can pass that long." She said softly

Niven nod understanding. "I need you something important for me, Niven." She said softy.

Niven ears shot up. "I need you take Melody, Neil, and Duncan so that I can bring Leroy with me. Leroy is a newborn so I cannot hold on to him and them at same time. Now Neil is very shy, so don't be alarmed if he doesn't speak to you. Now Duncan his twin and his complete opposite of him and is very outgoing both 5 years old and Melody is only 4 she basically helps keep eye on Duncan and speak for Neil." She said

Niven nod. "I can do that and also inform the others, when you will be joining Alice?" he asked softly

Alice smiled. "At night once I'm sure, that no one will try to look for them." She said softly.

Niven nod, Alice gently petted his head even rubbing his ear making his ear tap. Alice giggled. "Alright I'm going get them and you try your best and push my trunk down. Oh does Marina now know those trunks that been coming down are mine?" she asked

Niven shook his head no. "But I will inform her and make sure they are in your room that she given you." He said quickly

Alice smiled brightly. "Good because that one of reasons I didn't stay in Underland because if I did then I would have nothing to remember the only two people in my family that ever truly understand me." She said sadly.

Niven's ears lowered causing her kneel down at him. "What matter Niven?" she asked softy

"There is rumor most likely started by Stayne that you never stayed because you hated being in Underland." He said softy

Alice pulled him into hug. "That just silly, I love Underland and leaving second time was hardest thing I have ever done since I never wanted leave again. But I have things to do and important people to say goodbye to that meant lot to me here." She said softy

Nivens held back cry, Alice slowly pulled back and gently rubbed his ear. "Everything alright Niven, now let me go get them and you get the trunk down hole." She said

Nivens nod and watched her go towards where kids were while he pushed the trunk down the hole safely.

~With Alice and kids~

Alice located kids easily near lake playing, well Duncan was playing while Melody and Neil where sitting under tree. Melody and Neil noticed her.

"Mama." She said running over to her, Neil and Duncan followed her.

She kneeled to hug them. "Listen guys, I need you go with Niven. Remember what I told you about him?" she asked softly

They nod. "Are we going home now mama?" Neil asked shy

Alice nod. "Yes we are going home but I want you three go with Niven so when me and Leroy can go easier especially when I need carry his things with me." She said

They nod. "Ok mama we'll go get our things mama, do we go to the old tree?" Melody asked softy

Alice smiled kissed her head. "Yes sweetie that is exactly I want and be quick about alright." She said

They nod and ran except Duncan who stayed right in front of her. "What matter sweetie?" she asked

Standing tall with his chest puff out. "I want stay with you, so I can protect you and Leroy." He said

Alice smiled softy at him. "Sweetie I need you protect your sister and brother. Niven is only rabbit and wouldn't be able to. I wouldn't be long, by time you're in bed. Leroy and I be safely there going bed and tomorrow there be a huge party." She said softy

Duncan looked down. Alice gently held him against her chest. "Duncan, I love you and your brother and sister too much let something happen you. So please Duncan go with them make me feel better." She said against his hair.

Duncan wrapped his arms around her for bit and pulled back. "Ok mama I understand but you stay safe ok mama." He said softly

Alice smiled. "I will try sweetie, now go get your stuff and head to old tree." She said softy

Duncan smiled and ran off to his stuff. Alice smiled and slowly stood up dusting herself off for bit, then headed back to old tree to find Niven smiling at her.

"I did not mean over hear Alice but you are amazing mother." He said

Alice blushed lightly. "Thank you Nivens, they should be coming soon." She said

Niven nod. "Niven, when you get back could you tell Tarrant to be by hole with new dress if he wants to?" she asked

Niven smiled at her. "I'm sure Tarrant will be very happy to that." He said his tail twitching

Alice smiled and watched as kids run to them. "Kids this is Niven, he going take you to Marmoreal to meet my friends which, I consider like family." She said

Melody nod excitedly hugging Niven, while Neil hid behind Duncan. Smiling down at them. "Alright guys get going before someone notices." She said

The kids and Niven nod. Giving them each hug and kiss first. Duncan and Niven went down first, then Melody and Neil. Once the disappeared completely, Alice went back inside to feed Leroy.
