A/N: Some of you asked questions like, "Is Alice pregnant?" Well you will find out in this chapter! Enjoy. Im deciding to make the story a bit longer, but thats only cause you say you don't want it to be this short. This is one of my longer chapters.
Alice's POV
I looked down at the pink and blue mess. Pink and blue? Wasnt it supposed to be a yellowish greenish color? Why did that just happen? I feel fine, not sick at all. It just, happened. I felt turns in my stomach as I was saying good-bye to Tarrant, but I thought they would pass. They did, until after he left. Thats when I blew chunks. But why? Should I go and see a doctor? Or should I just rub it off? Everyone throws up once in a while, right?
"Um, miss?" A voice squeaked. I looked up from the mess and saw one of the servants. She wasn't very tall, but she was beautiful. Long, black hair rested in a ponytail at the very top of her head. Peircing green eyes looked at me worriedly, any man could get captivated by them. SHe was very thin, but she seemed to be eating enough.
"Yes?" I choked out, afraid that I might throw up again. The girl tensed.
"I think that, well, you may be pregnant." She told me, trying to hide a small smile. Pregnant?! How would she know this? You can't tell if someone was pregnant, unless of course they were big already. But i was most certaintly not big. The girl saw my confused face and sighed. She knelt down next to the strange colored vomit. "You see how it is an irregular color?" She asked me, point to the slop. I nodded my head weakly. "In Wonderland, That indicates pregnancy. Usually, if you threw up if you were sick, it would be the normal colors. So, like it or not, you're pregnant. Congratulations." With that, the girl went off to get something to clean up the throw up with. Pregnant? I was pregnant. The girl came back, a broom and bucket in hand. She started cleaning up, and I just stood there, shocked. Just as I was about to leave, the girl spoke up. "My name is Kiana. Oh, and you don't get big." She told me. "I know you are worried about it."
"I'm Alice. So thats why Mirana isnt worried about people finding out." I muttered. Kiana gave a giggle.
"Everyone knows about Dedrick. She didn't tell us, but we found out." She laughed. How did they find out?
"How?" I asked suspicously.
"Well, I found out first. I was walking through the forest during my break. Everything was so beautiful. And then when I walk out of the forest, and through the gardens, I see the Queen herself and Dedrick in passionate embrace, amongst the tea tables. Never would have guessed, would you?" She chuckled. I was taken aback. Everyone knew, yet they didn't trample the Queen with gifts, questions, and other things. They were respectful, not bothering their queen because they know how much she doesnt like being pampered. Unless of course by Dedrick.
"Well, I must be off. Thank Kiana, you have been a great help to me." I bowed my head and walked upstairs. Now I had to tell Hatter. What would he think? Would he be happy, or mad? But I had to tell him, it was his child. We made the desicion to be together, and it brought challenges. And I was ready to face them if he was.
Hatter's POV
The hat I was working on was for my Alice. It was a pale blue, my favorite color on her. A pink ribbon was tied around the middle, like mine. And pink buttons went down the sdes of the hat. I hoped she would like it. Suddenly, I could hear fragile feet walk down the hallway and up to my door. The door creaked, and my dear Alice walked in, unease on her face. My smile dropped, and I rushed over to her.
"Alice, are you alright?" I asked her, sitting her on the couch. Tears were escaping her eyes, and I wanted desperatly to know what was wrong, to help her. I wiped the tears away with my cloth-wrapped fingers. But only more came. "Alice, darling please tell me." I begged. She lifted her head up to look at me.
"I-i-im p-preg-pregnant." She stutterd, choking on tears. I froze. Pregnant. My Alice was pregnant. We were having a child. My child. Her child. Our child. I liked the sound of the last one. I imagined a mini me running around the castle. That would be grand. Or a mini Alice. Even better. I smiled, and tears of joy sprang to my eyes. "Hatter?" She coughed, wanting my attention.
"Oh yes love, well. Thats amazing." I told her, giving her a kiss. She looked at me, hoping it wasn't a joke. Why would I joke about this? "It really is!" I told her sincerily.
"Really? You're not mad?" She asked me, her bottom lip quivering.
"Of course im not mad! Well, I am mad, but thats a different type of mad. Im mad in the head, we all know that. But no i'm not mad." I smiled crookedly, and Alice gave an angelic laugh.
"Good." She kissed me, and she tasted salty from the tears. "You'll never guess what a servent told me." She said, pulling back.
"Oh, gossip?" I teased. She slapped my arm playfully.
"Yes. First, everyone knows about Mirana and Dedrick." She squealed. My eyes widened in shock. Did she tell them? "No, I didn't tell anyone. But this is the good part. Do you know how they found out?" I shook my head slowely. "It was one of the servents, Kiana, the one I was talking to. And she said that she saw them in passionate embrace in the garden tea tables!" Alice jumped with joy. I was beyond shocked. Mirana and Dedrick, on the tea tables?! That was so.....scandalous. So unlike her. She was full of surprises.
"Well, shouldn't we tell them?" I pointed out. Alice agreed. I grabbed my hat and the one I made for Alice.
"Beautiful hat, Tarrant." Alice complimented. I placed it on her head.
"For a beautiful Alice." I replied. She grinned madly and we made our way down the hall, towards the Queens chambers.
A/N: I hope you liked it. What will Mirana say when she finds out everyone knows? What they say when everyone knows about their tea table love? What will they say to Alice's child? I'll post later today do you can find out!
