One Shots

I still love her

AU where Alice and Tarrant are married. Alice has amnesia and the adventures in Underland are her delusions. Still the same friends (Thackery, Mally, Chess & Tarrant).

Once again today I walked into the nursing home, a bunch of flowers in hand. A smile on my face and I greet the receptionist. "Good afternoon Marine," I say with a toothy grin.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Hightopp." Marine replies.
"Still the same room, then yes?" I question.
"Of course, sir." Marine smiles.
"Thank you."
"Sir, if you don't mind me asking, why do you still visit her?"
"Because I still love her, because she's still my wife." I smile sadly because I missed my Alice. And with that I head to room 106.

"Hello Alice." I greet my wife.
"Hatter! I knew you come to see me soon. So how is everyone? The Queens, the march hair and the doormouse? Oh and Chess!? Have you two been arguing much lately?" My fair Alice was buzzing with questions.
"Calm down, dear champion! So many questions! Its a wonder that my head isn't spinning! Haha!" I always act that little bit madder for her as she believes I'm the mad hatter.
"But still! How are they all? Do they miss me?" She pleaded.
"Very well, Mally, Thackery, Chess and I have all been having tea in peace, well in the sense that we haven't been arguing, our party's are always crazy." I added when she gave me a look as if to say, 'how is the mad hatter's tea party peaceful?' The I continued with, "Tea parties aren't the same without you my dear."
"When will I be back? When I go to your tea parties again?" My love whispers quietly.
"I don't know my dear." I mutter sadly.
"Oh.." She had tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry my love, I'm sure you'll be home soon. I pray everyday for your homecoming." I say in attempt to cheer her up.
"I love you, Tarrant." She smiled up at me.
"I love you too Alice." I say kissing her forehead. "Did I just hear right? Alice what did you call me?!"
"Tarrant Hightopp! My husband. A tailor in London." She said beaming from ear to ear.
"Oh Alice! When you remember?" I ask with tears of joy in my eyes.
"Just this morning, I haven't had my appointment with the doctors yet. But I hope I can be home soon!" My Alice said with much excitement.
What we hadn't noticed was the two doctors standing in the doorway, in our merriment.
"I think it would be alright for to go home tomorrow from what we've seen." A tall brunette male doctor said.
"I have to disagree." Said the blonde female doctor.
"Oh.." Alice was crestfallen.
"Oh yes. I think if Mr. Hightopp was up for staying around for while longer, I think that you could be home today." She said.
Alice's face lit up like the festival of lights. And that was the day I got my Alice back. And that I brought her out to afternoon tea.
