Petyr looked over to Alice, sound asleep, but her eyes flickered under her eyelids. He wrapped an arm around her kissing her shoulder. He listened to the even pitter patter of her heart a hand trailing over her stomach.

Alice was confident she was asleep. She remembered falling asleep, kissing Petyr goodnight, she was in her own bed it was like she could feel his arm around her but there she was in a teapot. She tapped on the lid and hatter smiled down at her pulling her out.

''Good thing the Bloodhound is one of us or you'd be..." the mouse drew her finger across her throat ominously.

''Best take her to Marmoreal.'' Rabbit agreed ''She'll be safe with the White Queen. " Hatter whipped his hat off and put it on the table.

''Your carriage, m' lady." Hatter offered

''The hat?'' Alice questioned

''Anyone can go by horse or rail. But the absolute best way to travel is by Hat." Hatter laughed out ''Oohh... I've just made a rhyme.'' Alice sat on it, nervous and unsure, about traveling by Hat and the Hatter. He put his hat back on and they continued on to the white queen.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "

"Sorry? What was that?" Alice asked confused.

''Sorry? What was what?'' hatter repeated with a cackled. ''The Jabberwock with eyes of flame. The jaws that bite. The claws that catch. Beware of the Jabberwock, my son. And the frumious Bandersnatch." Hatter informed her. He pulled out his sword. ''The vorpal blade went snicker-snack. He left it dead, and with its head.''

Alice forgot why she wanted to return, she was very confused when she was here. ''And he went galumping back. It's all about you, you know..." Hatter told her.

''I'm not slaying anything. I don't slay. So put it out of your mind.'' Alice told him. "I bake. I make cookies, pies, stews!"

"Ohh I love pies!" Hatter agreed.

"Hatter, I have a question." Alice remarked not knowing how long she would be here for.

"Questions, I'm not too good at questions." Hatter remarked as they walked.

"Well just try, alright?" Alice asked.

"I suppose." Hatter agreed.

"Can I bring anyone with me to wonderland? Rabbit said I kept leaving because I wasn't done with my world. Could I bring someone here?" Alice asked.

"I don't know... I don't see why you wouldnt be able to." Hatter agreed.

"Great! How do I get to wonderland?" Alice asked.

"What?" Hatter cackled out. "You are in wonderland." he reminded her.

"I know that but I don't know how I get here." Alice informed him and he stared at her perplexed. "I just... am here. Sometimes I fall through a rabbit hole but other times it is like I hit my head. But I'm confident I didn't hit my head this time." Alice told him. "I'm in bed. With my husband right now."

"Well that is funny."

"I want to bring some people here. Could I bring them here and stay in wonderland? Live in wonderland?" Alice asked. "I think they would like it."

"Well..." hatter pursed his lips. "Talk to rabbit about it."

"I tried and he ran away from me." Alice informed him.

"I don't know. I'm stuck here. It is quite rude of you always disappearing on us" Hatter remarked.

"I don't mean to!" Alice shouted. "I want to stay but I want my family here."
