Two month later:
*Knock knock*
"Good morning sweetie. It's time to wake up" Tarrant said as he came into Alice and his room. Tarrant then laughed as Alice groaned and threw a pillow at him.
"Is it that time of month? Because you usually don't throw pillows" the hatter said after easily dodging the pillow then went to sit on the bed.
"Hold that thought." Alice said before flying out of bed and running to the toilet, where she proceeded to throw up last night's dinner. Tarrant was by her side in a second. He knelt down next to her and rubbed her back until she was done.
"My dear, are you alight?"
"Ya, I don't know what's wrong. Now what did you say before?" Alice said after she brushed her teeth.
"I asked if you were on you period."
"Oh my god! My period! It's a month late!" Alice exclaimed before she started to hyperventilate.
"Honey, what's wrong? You're starting to scare me." Tarrant said pulling Alice into a hug until she calmed down.
"Do you know of a doctor anywhere?" Alice said timidly
"Yeah Mirana has magic that can do anything a doctor can, but why do you need a doctor?" Tarrant asked worriedly
"I think I'm pregnant." Alice said then watched fearfully as Tarrant's face drained of color and his eye went to her belly then back to her face.
"Really?" Tarrant asked softly causing Alice to nod. Tarrant laughed then picked up Alice and spun her around.
"We're going to be parents!" Tarrant said excitedly.
"Speaking of parents. We have to tell my mother." Alice said solemnly.
"Can I go with you?" her hatter asked hopefully.
"I suppose. We'll have to make you look the part through. You'll need to make a proper suit and the top hat will have to stay here." Alice said thoughtfully.
"I will do anything for you my dear."
"Well you get to make the suit and as soon as you are done, wake me up and we will visit Mirana to get a potion to go topside" Alice said before she climbed back in bed.
Five hours later, Alice and Tarrant were crawling through the rabbit hole. Once Tarrant was out of the hole, he bent down and picked up Alice bridal style then set her on the ground.
"I'm pregnant. I'm not made of glass, love." Alice said before she started to walk toward her house.
"Wait! There is something I want to ask you first!" Tarrant said before getting to one knee causing alice to gasp, shocked.
"Alice love, will you marry me?" he asked hopefully as he presented a ring with a beautiful emerald in the center of two smaller diamonds.
"Yes. yes I will marry you!" Alice breathed happily as Tarrant put the ring on her finger. Then Alice jumped into Tarrant's arms and captured his lips in her's.
"Now, let's go tell you mom and sister." Tarrant said once the broke apart then gestured for Alice to lead the way.
After a fifteen minute walk, they reached Alice's old home.
"Let me do the talking." alice said before knocking on the door.
"Coming!" a voice sounded from inside then the door opened to reveal Alice's mother.
"Alice! Oh I missed you so much! How have you been? And is this your man?" Helen asked excitedly hugging her daughter.
"Yes mother, this is Tarrant."Alice said with a smile as Tarrant came up behind her and hugged her from behind. He wrapped one arm around her waist while the other shook her mother's hand.
"Tarrant Hightop, Ma'am" he said as he shook her hand.
"Hightop? That's an unusual name. What do you do?" Helen asked curiously
"Mother, he comes from a long line of hat makers." Alice chimes in, not wanting her mother to know that he's not from Upperland.
"Mother can i talk to you alone for a minute?" alice said before telling her love that she'll be right back and to go sit on the couch. Helen then followed her daughter into the other room.
"Mother please don't ask him any more question ok? It hurts him to talk about his past. His whole village was burned by a rival village. He was the only one to escape the fires. So if you have questions just ask me. Okay?" Alice said softly with a pleading glint in her eyes.
"Oh I am sorry dear. No one should have to go through that. But just out of curiosity how did you two meet?" Helen said sympathetically.
"We met the day Hamish tried to propose to me." Alice took a deep breath debating whether or not to tell her mother about underland.
"This is going to sound crazy but you have to believe me and I can prove what I say is real. Ok? can you do that?" alice asked her mother boldly. Her mother just nodded skeptically.
"It's a place called underland. On the day that hamish proposed, I fell down a rabbit hole. It is the place I dream of every night but it turns out those dreams are memories. If you come with us after we tell you the news we came here for, I will show you underland." Alice said bravely.
"Okay if this place is real, then let's go." Helen said kindly.
"Okay but first, Tarrant and I have some news. You see, in Underland time moves slower down there. A minute up here is a couple hours down their. So i know I left only a week ago up here, but down there, it's been two months." alice said while walking back to Tarrant who looked at alice with such love Helen could see that he he would take care of her little girl.
Alice went over to wrap her arms around his neck and his arms went around her. She then whispered in his ear that she had told her mother about underland, causing his eyes to go wide and look Helen directly in the eyes. Helen was amazed to find his eyes were a bright yellow-green. Alice then turned back to her mother, with Tarrant's hands still wrapped around her waist.
"Mom dont freak out-." Alice said but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Helen went to open it and was pleased to see that it was her oldest daughter, Margaret.
"Come in, we have company. Just keep an open mind and don't ask questions." Helen said before guiding Margaret to the living room where Tarrant and Alice were sitting.
"Alice!" Margaret exclaimed, excitedly running to hug her sister, who met her halfway across the room.
"I missed you so much! Where have you been? Why are you back so early?" Margaret asked quizzically as they pulled apart.
"I was in underland. I can prove it is real as well. That is where I went the day hamish proposed. But the time passes slowly there. A minute up here is couple hours up down there. That's why I've been gone a week up here but down in underland, it's been two months." Alice said going back into Tarrant arms.
"Who is that?" Margaret asked skeptically. Unsure of what to make of this man before her.
"This is Tarrant, my Fiancé." Alice said, holding out her hand to show the ring. This caused margaret to squeal and run over and inspect the ring.
"We also have one other piece of news. Keep in mind that it's been two months in underland." Alice paused and then continued.
"I'm pregnant!" Alice exclaimed excitedly.
"Oh my goodness! Really? I am so happy for you guys!" Margaret said enthusiastically leaning into hug her sister again.
"I am so proud of you sweetie." Helen said tearfully hugging Alice as well.
"Thanks mom." Alice said
"Honey, We should be getting back." Tarrant said as he wrapped his arms around her once again but this time he protectively put his hands on her abdomen.
"How about I show you where you can go if you want to visit?" Alice said, turning to her mother and sister
"Sure."
"Well then, follow us!" Alice said then her and Tarrant walked out the door and to the rabbit hole.
"When you want to visit, jump down the hole, when you reach the bottom the the room will flip and then their is a small door behind the curtain. Grab the key and drink the file that says 'drink me'. You will begin to shrink. And when you are small enough, go to the door and unlock it. Then tell the chessur cat that we are related and ask him to take you to us. Got it?" Alice explained to her mother and sister, who nodded. Then after some farewell hugs, the couple leaped into the hole.
