Alice's POV:
It had been a month since we got back from our honeymoon, and we were finally settled in at our home. Tarrant was at the castle finishing up some orders. This time he hadn't wanted to go, because I haven't been feeling well. Especially in the morning. But I wanted to be alone, and had him leave for the castle. I was deciding when we should visit my mother, when another wave of nausea came over me. I leaned against the wall, and it passed. I really needed to go see what was going on. I decided to go to Mirana because she was the best healer of Underland, but I also just wanted to speak with her. I had a carriage come to the house and I hopped in, hoping I would get some answers. I decided to go without Tarrant, and as we pulled into the path heading to the gates of the castle. The stage coach helped me out, and I thanked him for his service. And just my luck, I turned to see Mirana walking towards me, with a big smile on her face.
"Hello Alice!" She grinned. She and I got even closer ever since our sleep over we had at my house. We had another one the next week at her chambers, and we were becoming so close, she seemed like a sister to me.
"Hi Mirana. Can I talk with you?" I said, a little tired, and she came over and put a hand on my forehead.
"Alice, are you alright?" She asked worriedly. Then all of a sudden her eyes went big and she grinned madly. I looked at her in confusion, and she lead me to her chambers.
"Mirana. I haven't been feeling to well especially in the morning." I sighed. Just then I remembered I haven't gotten my period. Oh my.
"Alice? Have you gotten your period?" She asked quietly. We both thought the same thing.
"Oh my. You don't think?..." I grinned.
"Come sit down and we can check." She sat me on a chair, and she went into her storage cabinet. She came out with a green vial, and told me to drink. I did as she said, and she gasped. She was looking at my stomach, and at the lower part of my stomach was glowing a faint pink.
"Alice! Your going to have a baby girl!" She exclaimed, hugging me tightly.
"Oh! Mirana, you'll have to excuse me, I need to talk with Tarrant!" I said quickly. I hopped out of the chair, and ran out of the room. I almost ran through the halls, leading to Tarrants workshop. I knocked quickly, and was greeted by my sweet Tarrant.
"Oh! Alice! Your feeling better I see? Come and talk with me." He smiled, grabbing my hand.
"Tarrant. I have something to tell you. It's the reason I haven't been feeling to well." I said quietly. He looked a little worried,
"Alice? Is everything all right?" He asked resting his hand on his lap. I reached for his hand, laid it on my lower part of my belly and whispered,
"Nothings wrong at all." I grinned, hoping he would get it. And he did.
"Alice? Do you really mean...?" He asked hopefully.
"I visited Mirana and I drank a vial, that showed me that I am going to have a baby girl." I grinned madly. He had the biggest smile that could easily beat Cheshire in a contest. He stood me up, and wrapped me in a warm, much needed hug.
"Oh Alice. I love you so." He whispered into my ear. He nibbled it, making me giggle. He pushed me away a little to look at my face. He laid a hand on my belly.
"Tarrant? Do you think I will be a good mother?" I said quietly. I had been considering that ever since we had that conversation about children. He turned my chin up to his face, and he simply replied.
"Alice. What a silly question. You will be the best there ever was, I swear to you." He grinned, and he picked me up bridal-style, he did that often, and walked over to a chair and we sat together, talking about things, when Tarrant said he had his hats all finished, and we walked out. We were heading to the queens chambers to bid her farewell, but she surprised us by coming up from behind.
"Alice? Tarrant? Could you come here please?" Mirana called to us.
"Hello Mirana, is something wrong?" I was a little worried by her expression.
"Oh no dear, its just that I think Tarrant should come with you, and you drink another vial of the test I gave you." Without another word, she walked back to her chambers expecting us to follow. I shrugged my shoulders, and grabbed for Tarrants hand and we walked down again.
Tarrant's POV:
Mirana had Alice sitting in her chair again, and walked over with a vial, telling her to drink it. She still hadn't told us why we were here. So we quietly chatted to wait for the vial's effects to start showing. Then, we heard Mirana clap her hands in joy. We looked at her, and she was looking at Alice's belly. I looked down, and saw her belly glowing a faint pink. Like she said. Wait. It started to glow blue on the other side. We looked at each other in confusion, until Mirana broke the silence.
"Oh Alice! Your going to have twins!" She exclaimed gleefully. I looked at Alice with a huge smile on my face, but Alice hadn't returned that smile.
"Alice? Alice whats wrong?" I asked reaching out for her hand. She faked a smile.
"Hm? Oh nothing dear." But she was distant when she talked to me.
"Alice I know better. What's wrong?" I insisted on her to tell me.
"Well.. it's just that... isn't there usually.. complications? You know. With more than one child?" She asked quietly. My poor Alice.
"Alice. Things are different down here than up there. It is usually normal to have two or three here." I reassured her.
"Are you telling me this to make me feel better?" She looked at me, a little bit angry if I was.
"No Alice, it is true." Mirana piped in. Alice's serious face relaxed and I saw her smile. I thanked Mirana for her time, and decided to take Alice home. She had a stressful, yet wonderful day. As did I. I took her hand, and walked with her before stopping, picking her up, and kissing her hard.
"Tarrant?" She whispered.
"Yes, love?" I asked suddenly worried at her quietness.
"I love you." That was all it took. I picked her up and ran to the carriage.
"I am taking you home. And I am going to take care of you." I think my eyes changed a deep green again, because she laughed and playfully slapped my arm.
"Will that harm the baby?" She asked. I looked at her and she had her hand on her belly, as if she was showing me her protective instincts all ready.
"Oh no dear, it will not. I assure you." and with that we hopped into the carriage and stressfully waited for the ride to end for us to get home.
Alice's POV:
Finally we were home. And I could tell Tarrant was itching to have me. He practically dragged me inside. Carefully of course, knowing that I was caring OUR child. He had enough of my stubborn slowness. I was laughing so hard when he caught on that I was trying to drive him insane.
"Oh Alice! Your are unbelievable!" I giggled, and we reached our room, and we took our time. We finished after a few minutes, breathing hard, sweat laying on our bodies.
Tarrant's POV:
We had just gotten done.. well... making love.. And I suddenly got to thinking. My perfect Alice. Not a ugly thing about her, and there was me. Orange hair, pale skin, calloused hands, long, skinny legs, dark shadows under my eyes.
"Alice? How do you do it?" I asked, not really realizing I was talking out loud.
"How do I do what Tarrant?" She asked, crawling onto my chest.
"To be with me. I am so ugly, and weird." I whispered. She looked at me confusingly.
"Oh Tarrant. What ARE you talking about? You are absolutely adorable." She said, "And you know what else?"
"Whats that love?" I asked.
"You are irresistable in bed." She grinned seductively.
"ALICE! You really are a naughty thing!" I blushed slightly. I lay there for a few seconds, feeling a little dirtier and asked,
"How so?" She looked at me, then realized what I was talking about. She grinned with a tad bit of lust in her eyes.
"Well.." She whispered into my ear, straddling me with her naked body. Just that caused me to shiver inside.
"Your very strong.." She whispered, nipping at my ear.
"Your easy to EXCITE." She said, emphasizing the last word. She leaned down and touched my lower self, making it go rock hard.
"Your body is just a delight to touch.. so strong and lean.." she said, kissing my stomach and chest. My mind went back to how terrible I looked though.
"Yes, but that doesn't change how I look." I said a little sadly. She sprawled out on top of me, her head on her arms looking at me. She was so light.
"Tarrant. I love every little thing about you. Your cute hair. Your colorful and amazing eyes. Your cute Scottish brogue that is JUST for me." She smirked at the last part.
"Yeh like thah do yeh lass?" I said making her giggle.
"And that is another thing Tarrant. You can always make me laugh. No matter what's going on. I am always smiling with you." She said, hugging me tightly.
"Thanks love. I have just been thinking a lot. I mean of all people, you picked me." She looked at me and kissed me.
"Thats why I picked you." She said quietly. I looked at her with a confused expression.
"That feeling I get with you. That spark I get when I kiss you. That feeling of love when I look into your eyes." She said. This woman could melt my heart so easily.
"Thanks Alice. I really do love you. You know that." He kissed her again, and she slid to the side of me, and we snuggled closely in the spinning position. I rested my hand onto Alice's belly, and realized that I had created love with Alice. That was when I realized that maybe Alice had been right in picking me. I smiled in happiness, and pulled her even tighter, and let out a much needed breath of air. I truly loved this woman.
