Chapter 35, and the finally chapter! So read! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: You should all know by now I do not own any Alice in Wonderland.
As Alice put on the dress that she'd wanted to wear for months, she felt happier than she had ever been in her life. The maids had arranged her hair to fall down her shoulders and nearly to her wait in elegant curls, and they patted down the dress and pulled them into place a lot, till it was absolutely perfect. Alice had found the dress months ago, buried in the back of her closet with a note from Irisa.
Dearest Alice,
Since I've already gone, where ever it is I am at the moment, I want you to have at least something to wear on your wedding day. I hope it will be the happiest of your life like mine was, and will be. Nicholas told me it was a custom that the husband never sees the dress until she walks down the aisle and that you need something old and something new, something borrowed and something blue, so I already covered the new and borrowed. I'm sure you can figure out the rest.
Best wishes, Irisa.
It was the kind of thing Irisa was known for, arranging something that she knew Alice was sure to find, and now Alice was wearing a dress that Irisa had made her. Lace surrounded her around her neck, and then going down to her arms and fingers, it linked against her middle fingers, and then went back up to her arms. It was stunning. It tied up in the back, and white fabric cut along her chest in a heart shape. The skirt was long and white, like newly fallen snow, it fell delicately around her, stopping and dragging at the floor. It was surrounded by lace too, so it did look like she'd stepped out of a blizzard and it was the most beautiful thing she'd worn. Actually, the most beautiful dress, because the most thing beautiful thing She'd ever worn was something she cherished with all her life and was now sitting on her dresser.
It was a silver ring with a large crystal surrounded by smaller ones, and then trailing down the band. It was her engagement ring that he'd actually made himself, and it made her heart swell at the memory of him making her sit down on the edge of the fountain and proposed to her.
She smiled walking to her closet and pulling out a lacy white garter which she put around her left leg. She was almost perfect, as she strolled to her bedside, and pulled out a small box and then a crystal necklace that had her aunt's name engraved on the back, and fighting away tears clasped it around her neck. The finally, she picked up her veil, and place d it delicately on her head. It was long, nearly reaching her waist the edges were surrounded by crystals that shivered blue in the light. She as perfect and she was ready.
"Alice?" A maid called, a girl with pale white hair tied up into a bun and wearing a silver dress with a blue ribbon tied around her body. The colors they'd decided for their wedding were silver and midnight blue and their wedding would be at night. "We're ready for you."
Alice nodded, and pulled her veil, over her head, following the younger girl down the long hall and then outside. She stopped at the doors, and then the girl turned and picked up a bouquet of roses, blue and silver ones that only grew in Underland and were hard to find.
"Are you ready?" She asked, her entire body shaking with anticipation, and Alice nodded. The girl smiled and then started down the hallway, exiting form a different door. Music played behind the door Alice stood in front of, and she took a deep breath. Then, the double doors opened and she was blinded with light.
The yard of the garden behind the castle had been transformed. The stairs edges were surrounded with flowers, and people sat on two sides that split into an aisle. At the end wads Mirana, who would be the one marrying Hatter and Alice. To her right stood a row of girls wearing the smile dresses the little one that handed Alice her bouquet a few seconds ago. Mallmkun stood in front of them, holding a small basket of flower petals. Thackery, Tweedle De and Dum, Chessur and Mctwsip on the other side and then, wearing a blue jacket and a silver tie, with his hat place don his head and his eyes glowing green, was Hatter waiting for her. And she was ready for him.
. . .
"Come on," Nicholas called, running farther down the street, towards the docks. "Come on, she needs you know."
"I'm coming, I'm coming." The doctor replied. His name was Dr. Fredrick; he had gray hair thinning on top of his head and had tired brown eyes, wearing a white shirt and black pants as Nicholas ran ahead of him. "I'm going as fast as I can."
"Not fast enough," Nicholas mumbled under his breath, running towards the docks and looking back over his shoulder to make sure the Doctor was keeping up. He ran up the long piece of wood that led people cross onto the boat and then ran down to the cabin room where his wife was. The boat life was easy for Irisa, she loved every minute of it, ever since they climbed onto the boat a few short months ago, thanks to Alice and her letter.
She'd arranged that Nicholas would be Lord Ascots new apprentice and his newly wed wife could come too, and now they were about to add a third member to their family.
"Irisa?" Nicholas called, pushing a dark curl away from his eyes.
"I'm here!" Irisa called, and then she gasped in pain. Her husband stormed into their room, and went to his wife's bedside. She was lying in bed, panting heavily, gasping with pain for every breath.
"Nicholas," Irisa gasped, grabbing onto her husband's hand. "You're back,"
Nicholas nodded. "I'm not going anywhere."
"You better have brought the damn doctor," Irisa said with a grimace just as the doctor walked in panting slightly.
"Ah, there you are," He said and knelt down near Irisa, pulling the blanket over her. "It's almost time,"
Irisa looked over at Nicholas with a glare.
"He was the only one I could find," He whispered, squeezing Irisa's hand.
Nicholas watched as the Doctor got ready for the birth and Irisa's screams got louder and finally, the doctor said in an excited voice. "It's crowning."
Then, like magic, there was a baby in Fredrick's hands.
"It's a boy!" He cried and Irisa sighed, leaning back into her pillows. "A boy," she breathed.
The doctor wrapped the child in a blanket brought from home, and then handed him to Irisa, while Nicholas cradled Irisa, his arm under her light body while she held their son.
"Lewis Carroll," Irisa whispered with a smile. "We have so many stories to tell you,"
