"I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date. No time to say hello, goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!"

SO sorry for the long wait for this chapter...I have made this an extra long one to help make up for it.

Oh and by the way I just realized that I had put the wrong chapter in chapter 2 so I have changed it to what it is meant to be. Sorry about that!

They found themselves sat around Mirana's meetings table. Alice was currently sitting in between Tarrant and Lord Ascot whilst holding Eloise in her arms. Eloise was sleeping softly and had a peaceful expression on her face.

"Alright we need to sort all of this nonsense out." Alice said.

"I would hardly call this nonsense Alice; this man took advantage of your innocence and naivety!" Lord Ascot exclaimed.

Tarrant was offended. "I most certainly did not. I didn't even touch her!"

"When you look at the child it's obvious to anyone who the father is!"

"Well that may be true but Alice and I never engaged in an act to make her!"

"Firstly I don't want to know what sorts of acts you have been performing on Alice and secondly a child doesn't just come out of nowhere!"

At this moment Chessur decided to appear in front of Alice.

"I would also like to say that I don't want to know what you two were up to on the eve of the Frabjous day and also the fact that I can come out of nowhere."

"Oh my word! A talking cat! That cat is smiling!" he was startled and turned to Alice with wide eyes.

"Yeah I am."

"Fascinating...Why don't the ones at home talk?"

"They are probably just too shy."

"Honestly Lord Ascot, we didn't do anything like that. No man has ever seen me naked! The only male that has is McTwisp...and possibly Chessur." Alice blushed and was almost pleading him to see that she was telling the truth.

"Wait McTwisp saw you naked?" Tarrant exclaimed and turned to face her.

"Yes. It was when I ate too much of the Upelkuchen he gave me at the Red Queen's palace. Although, now that I think about it, what did you see when I was inside the teapot?"

"Just a bit of leg. I'm really sorry. You should really wear stockings my dear!"

Lord Ascot turned to Alice. "I wan't to believe you, I really do, but you have given birth to a baby today! I am dreading going to see your mother after this, although Hamish will probably still want your hand in marriage." Lord Ascot said.

This annoyed Alice. "I will never marry Hamish! No offence but he is just not the type of person that I go for."

"Well who is? You have turned down over one hundred suitors and they weren't all from England. There were some nice people in China and Africa. There was even Jeffrey from on the Wonder. " Lord Ascot was frustrated.

"Well I have a very particular type and he isn't from our world."

"You like men from Underland! Well when we get our families here we can get to work. Your mother wants you married and my head on a chopping block. That's how I know she will come because if you find a man here, we will both be out of your mother's bad books."

"You shouldn't really talk about chopping blocks here and we cannot bring our families here!"

"Actually, we can get them if you would like?" Mirana said softly.

"Then it is settled." Lord Ascot said with a nod. Alice put a hand to her head. "Although I still want him to admit what he did to you!" he shouted whilst pointing at Tarrant.

"For the last time...I didn't do anything!" Tarrant growled.

Nivens, Mally and Thackery had all been quiet whilst watching the scene play out. Absolem, who was still in human form, decided that now was the best time to explain everything.

"Listen; I believe now will be the best time to explain..." Absolem started and everyone sat comfortably. He turned to Lord Ascot. "When Lady Alice was last here -"

"Wait! Since when have I been called Lady Alice?" she interrupted.

"I am going to get to that! Well anyway where was I? Oh yes! When Lady Alice was last here, it was foretold by the Oraculum that she would stand as the White queen's champion. She came here after following McTwisp, the white rabbit, down the rabbit hole which I have been informed is on your estate Lord Ascot?"

"Yes." Alice interjected.

"When she arrived here she found out her fate and said that it couldn't be true. Nearly everyone thought she was the wrong Alice but she wasn't. She would later go on to become known as Lady Alice for what she did for us. The scratches on her arm arm from the Bandersnatch which she later went on to tame. Then she ended up at the mad tea party where she met Mally, Thackery and Tarrant."

"That sounds an awful lot like one of those nightmares that your father told me about you having when you were little, God bless his soul." Lord Ascot said thoughtfully.

"Yes that's because Mally is the dormouse, Thackery is the March Hare and Tarrant here is the Mad Hatter." Alice chimed in.

"This can't be real. I died on the ship. I've tried to keep an open mind. I'm dead!"

"This most certainly is real and you are not dead." Absolem continued. "Anyway, at the tea party she ended up being, for lack of better word, stuffed into a teapot because Stayne, the Red queen's knave, came along looking for her. She later ended up at the Red queen's castle posing as Um from Umbridge, the stupid girl! She managed to get the Vorpal sword and went to help her friends escape, this included Tarrant and Mally. Stayne mucked that up and Alice had to escape with just the sword and the Bandersnatch. She ended up at here and that is when she became pregnant."

Alice was in shock. "You what?"

"You became pregnant when you came to the castle."

Lord Ascot then spoke up. "But Tarrant was still at the Red queen's castle then."

"Yes he was. Alice do you remember eating anything when you first got to the castle?" Absolem asked her.

"No I don't. But how could I get pregnant by eating food?"

"SOUP!" Thackery shouted and everyone looked at him.

"Now that you mention it, I do remember Alice licking a bit of soup off of her finger in the kitchen when we went there to make her return to her normal height." Mirana said.

Alice was thoughtful. "Oh yes I remember now! It needed more salt. But why are you mentioning this?"

Absolem looked at her. "I am bringing this up because that is how you became with child."

"Preposterous!" Lord Ascot exclaimed. "Are you seriously trying to tell me that soup made her pregnant?"

"No, not the soup exactly, it was what was inside it. We were lucky that Alice was the only one who had a bit because otherwise the whole female population of the castle would have been with child...and they all would have been Tarrant's! What happened was Thackery accidentally picked up ingredients which would be used for potions and put them in the soup. He then picked up a pre-made potion and used it instead of the salt. All of it mixed together made a potion to help impregnate the person who ingested it. Basically it means that if the female who takes it gets someone else's DNA inside them, in any way, within twenty four hours, they become pregnant with that person's child. You got Tarrant's DNA inside you because one of Tarrant's hairs were inside the pot that Thackery was using and luckily Thackery later burnt the soup by accident because that meant that when he got rid of it, even if a creature did try and eat it, they wouldn't become pregnant. They had salad that night instead."

Alice was confused. "So basically you are trying to tell me that Thackery made me pregnant with Tarrant's child...by eating...soup?"

"Yes. After that, Tarrant and the others escaped from the execution and came back here."

Alice turned to Lord Ascot. "Long story short, I became Mirana's champion and I killed the Jabberwocky. I know this is all hard to believe, but if anyone from the Otherworld is likely to believe me, it would be you."

"I guess I currently have no other choice but to believe you." Lord Ascot said in submission.

Mirana stood up. "It has been a long and busy day. I'm sure everyone is in need of a good rest. We can all talk more at breakfast tomorrow. Lets show Alice and Lord Ascot to their chambers."

Alice's chambers were spacious and elegant. She had a living room, kitchen, balcony, bedroom, dressing room and a bathroom. The décor was all white, but it had hints of light blue. When she went into her bedroom she noticed that there was a large four poster bed for her and a large white baby crib nearby for Eloise to sleep in.

When she went into her dressing room she saw that she had a full wardrobe with everything she would need. Alice then noticed that there was a door near the end of the room. When she opened it she saw that it was full of baby clothes.

She got Eloise and herself ready for bed. She was wearing a knee length light blue nightgown. Alice put Eloise in her crib and was about to get into her bed when she heard a knock on the door.

"Just a minute!" she called. She went over to a chair in the room, picked up her robe dressing gown and slipped it on. It was made out of navy Chantilly lace and went down to the floor. Once that was on she went to the door and opened it.

She smiled when she saw who was there.
