There was absolute silence for a moment after McTwisp said this before Alice and Mirana stared at one another in shock and slight disbelief. Alice placed a hand to Miranas face and caressed it softly before lowering it to the monarchs' stomach and caressing it just as softly. The others were confused at this but Mirana was staring at Alice for a split second more before grinning broadly as she glanced down and placed both of her hands over her own stomach. Tarrant was the first to see the matching rings on the two blond womens rings and felt his eyes widen comically.
"You two are bonded?" The Mad Hatter asks before he could stop himself making everyone do a double take while Mirana and Alice seemed to just remember that the others were there and blushed slightly while nodding making everyone elses jaws drop.
"And if what McTwisp said about consuming the soul bond and the royal being with child then I am currently carrying mine and Alices baby." Mirana said beaming with happiness while Alice began rubbing the monarchs' flat stomach again looking at it in disbelief while everyone looked at the two blonds in shock. Alice looked at Miranas face and smiled slightly before frowning big time.
"You are not going to the battle tomorrow. No way in hell am I letting you or the little one get hurt." Alice deadpanned making Mirana giggle at her protectiveness while Hatter and the others smiled.
"We'll talk about that latter, luv. For now why don't we get you all to a nice bath and a bed?" Mirana asks smiling at Alice for a moment before earning a cheer and lots of 'thank yous' from the others.
The next day it was a smiling and happy Mirana that was hooking her horse up to ride to the battle field. She had managed to talk Alice into it on the conditions that the second the fighting broke out then Mirana would retreat to near the back of the field so that if any one tried to attack her they would have to go through her whole army, after Alice got through with them first of course, and that if anyone looked like they were going to be anywhere near Mirana with a weapon that Alice would knock them unconscious if she didn't know what side they were on and that she would split the poor fools throat if they were on the side of Iracebeth. Mirana beamed and her smile widened when she saw Alice bounding out of the castle and to her side on the Blandersnatch, wearing the Armor of Marmoreal and clutching the Vorpal Sword, even though she probably wouldn't need it. Alice grinned at Mirana as they rode towards the field that looked like a checker board. Both women noticed that some of the other warriors looked a little nervous and hesitant but that was understandable. Alice thought of something that might help and began to sing even as music seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere at the same time. Mirana heard the thought and smiled when the music began to play even more so when Alice began to sing.
"I'm a soldier, znachit ya Skol'ko b nitej ne plyol obman Save your tears Save your fears I'm a soldier, born to stand pray myself we don't forget people facing the fire together Save your tears Save your fears Za mechtoyu na kraj propasti Ty ne plach', Save your tears Save your fears
I otvetchik i sud'ya
Ya stoyu na dvuh kontsah ognya
Ogibaya virazhi, obgonyaya smert' i zhizn'
Ya begu srazit'sya s ten'yu lzhi
Pokazhet lik sveta istina
for the day
when our pain is far behind
on your feet
come with me
we are soldiers stand or die
take your place
save them for the judgement day
fast and free
follow me
time to make the sacrifice
we rise or fall
in this waking hell I am
witnessing more than I can compute
lies, betrayed and the oppressed
please give me the strength to be the truth
if we don't, we'll lose all we have found
for the day
when our pain is far behind
on your feet
come with me
we are soldiers stand or die
take your place
save them for the judgement day
fast and free
follow me
time to make the sacrifice
we rise or fall
Lish' tol'ko tak mozhno mir spasti
Slyozy spryach',
Ved' nastanet novyj den'
Tvoj ogon'
Sogrevat'
Budet tysyachi serdets
A sejchas podnimis'
Spryach' podal'she bol' i strah
Pobedit tot, kto prav
Znaj, chto vsyo v tvoih rukah
for the day
when our pain is far behind
on your feet
come with me
we are soldiers stand or die
take your place
save them for the judgement day
fast and free
follow me
time to make the sacrifice
we rise or fall"
By the end of the song the soldiers were reassured and singing along with the chorus while Mirana laughed and smiled at Alice lovingly, which was quickly returned by the curly haired blond, as they reached the hill top just before the battlefield.
"There's the field! Let's go show those no good cards who's boss!" A knight cheered making all the others cheer as they flooded onto the field while Alice and Mirana hung back for a few minutes, knowing that the battle wouldn't start immediately.
"I know you don't need it but good luck, Alice and please do your best to live through this. I don't want to think about something happening to you but I know it's possible, highly improbable, but possible. I don't want to live as Queen if the one I love is not by my side and I certainly don't want our baby growing up with only one parent." Mirana said biting her dark lips in worry as she placed a hand over her stomach in worry. Alice hopped off the Blandersnatch and helped Mirana down from her horse before enveloping the monarch in a hug and rubbing her back in reassurance.
"Nothing's going to happen to me, luv. I'm more worried about you and the little one than I am about myself. I can heal from fatal wounds in seconds but we don't know if that's one of the powers that were shared over our bond. I swear if I see any of the bloody air heads men within ten feet of you I will kill them first question things later. I am not taking any risks with you and our baby. Especially with how pissed off your sister will be when you try to be peaceful before dropping the bomb that you're bonded and with child on her. Can I take a picture of the look on her face when you do tell her? It will be priceless!" Alice said trying to cheer the white haired woman up and it worked as Mirana let out a giggle when she pictured the look on her sisters' face when she heard that. Mirana pecked Alice on the lips and hugged her one last time before being helped onto her horse again and riding to join the soldiers with Alice riding by her side on the Blandersnatch who had licked Miranas hand in encouragement and support before giving Alice an encouraging lick on the cheek. Mirana dismounted her horse on her own but Alice was nearby in case anything unexpected happened or there was a surprise attack while Iracebeth held her hand out for Stayne to help her out of her card-carried carriage like seat. Alice was so tense that her nails were cutting into the palms of her hands, not that she noticed, when Mirana and Iracebeth strode forward to meet in the middle one on either side of McTwisp.
"Hello Racie." Mirana said speaking kindly and using her old childhood nickname for the elder sister.
"Hello…..Mirana." The Red Queen said with her nose in the air as she tried to stare down at her sister, which several of the white soldiers found amusing, if their hurriedly but unsuccessfully muffled snorts were anything to go by, since the red head was several inches shorter than her younger sister.
"Please Racie. We don't have to fight." Mirana said holding a hand out to the big headed woman hopefully.
"I know what you're trying to do. You think you can blink those pretty eyes and I'll melt just like mother and father used to. Me and our old nanny, who was more like a mother to us than our real mother ever was, were the only ones who never fell to your charm and even then the nanny adored you." Iracebeth said her voice rising. Mirana risked a glance over at Alice and smiled inwardly when she saw how protective the younger blond was by keeping an eye out on any sign of trouble and had her eyes narrowed into cat like slits at the red headed queen.
"There is something different about you." Iracebeth said with surprising insight while Mirana smiled happily and crossed both arms over her midsection.
"I would hope so do to my soul bond and the fact that I am with child." Mirana said making everyone but those who already knew, which was almost everyone, jaws drop and eyes widen. Iracebeth looked outraged.
"WHAT? You're SOUL BONDED! Who dares touch my BABY SISTER in such a manner?" The older sister ranted glaring at any and all males in her sight, completely overlooking Alice, making Mirana giggle behind her hand before giving a mischievous smile that she learned from Alice.
"Of course I'm Soul Bonded, Racie. We both knew that one of us would be and it was almost guaranteed that it would be me. You need a soul to be Soul Bonded and I'm the only one that has a soul between the two of us."
