A/N: Sorry, havent updated in a while. I was at a friends house for the night, then at a fair yesterday. Here it is, chapter 9!
Mirana's POV
I felt more turns in my stomach. This morning sickness thing was really getting to me. I hope that the child comes soon, I don't want to go through this pain forever. But I know that in the end it's all going to be worth it. I'll have a tiny life to take care of and love. Dedrick and I would have a nice family together.
"Dedrick..." I warned. He looked my way, worry crossing his features. I put a hand to my mouth to prevent the disgusting substance from escaping. He immediatly caught on and brought me a bucket. I leaned over the side of the table and threw up. Dedrick held back my hair. It was disgusting how many times this happens to me.
Hatter's POV
I couldn't believe my eyes. Mirana was throwing up. She had never in her life done something so...unnatural to her. It just wasn't something that she did. But I could tell that she was happy she was doing it. She was excited for a child, that I knew. I couldn't wait to see the little tyke myself. It would definatly be more like it's mother. The kindness, sweetness, and lovingness. But like it's father, it would be shy, have the looks, and be curious. I was sure of it. If my prediction was incorrect, then I would be very surprised.
"Well, I think you should get some rest, darling." Dedrick sighed. Mirana raised her head from the bucket and nodded weakley. With that, Dedrick gathered her in his arms and proceeded to bring her upstairs.
"Aren't you glad that she told you herself?" My Alice asked, turning her attention to me. I nodded my head, a loving smile plastered on my mouth.
"That I am, sweet." I told her. She smiled back at me, her teeth shimmering. I loved that one smile she saved just for me. I knew she used it only when we were alone. Then a question popped into my head. "Alice, why is it that you say that you are going to be very protective of me?" I asked her. I could see her face darken a little bit.
"Because I'm selfish. I want you to myself. And i'm afraid." She told me, her eyes saddening a bit. Afraid?
"Afraid? Alice, my dear, what cuold you possibly be afraid of?" I was very confused. There was nothing she should be afraid of. I was here to protect her, and if anything harmed her I'd blame it on myself. Then it hit me. "Afraid that I might leave you." I was shocked. How could she think such a thing? Why would I ever have a reason to leave her? She was mine, and I never wanted to give her up or let go of her. Unless of course she wanted me to, then I couldn't make her stay with me. She gave a small nod. "Love, there isn't one reason why I would leave you. I love everything about you. Please don't think anything less of yourself." I pleaded. She nodded her understandingly.
Alice's POV
We were godparents. Well, soon to be godparents. And of course I was afraid that he was going to leave me. Im no where near as gorgeous as Mirana, or any other Underlandian woman. But here was Tarrant, telling me there isnt anyone more beautiful than me. He made me feel good about myself, or blush insanely. He was definatly the one for me. We didn't match at all, making us the craziest couple ever. But also making us the most unique. We were exactly the same, yet the exact opposite.
"Tarrant, have you noticed we are nothing alike, yet we are sometimes the exact same person?" I asked him, resting my head on his chest. I could feel him chuckle.
"Yes cricket, I noticed. But I think that makes us unique." He wrapped his arms around me for a hug. I took it graciously. I smiled at his words. I think he read my mind. "I must go, a hat has been requested from one of my close friends." He sighed, planting a light kiss to my forehead.
"Alright." I pouted, reluctantly releasing him from my hold. He walked up the stairs to his workshop. Thats when I turned around and threw up.
