Wonder in Underland

Chapter 6

~~Alex's POV~~

Snow stood right behind me, long arms wrapped around my waist, as we stood in the doorway of my room.

I stood there, looking like an idiot, hesitating on whether to go or not.

"It's ok, I'm right here. I've got you." He whispered in my ear, which just caused my cheeks to warm up.

I slowly raised my right foot and took a step forward.

So far, so good.

I gently pulled myself forward, bringing Snow with me, as my left foot went forward.

Snow's hands tightened a bit in anticipation, which made me smile at his attentiveness.

My left foot landed in front of my right one with no fault.

"Hm, well this isn't so--" I started to say but was cut off as my legs started to wobble and my legs buckled out from underneath me.

I felt Snow's arms wrap tightly around my waist, bringing me into him, as his hands squeezed my hips.

"I've got you." He said with ease.

I couldn't help but titter a bit at him.

"What's so funny?" He said laughing a bit himself.

I continued my little giggle-fit, unable to stop.

"N-nothing." Was all I was able to squeeze out before I ran out of breath.

I took a deep breath in and let it out, suppressing the giggles.

"Okay." I said as I brought my feet back up.

I tried to stand up on them again, but they kept shaking, showing me that I wouldn't be able to support myself if I tried.

I let out a sigh of disappointment.

Snow seemed to noticed this and gently reached down and picked up my legs, holding me bridal-style.

I looked up into his soft blue eyes.

"This situation seems all too familiar." I said, cracking a smile at him.

He burst out laughing at my joke.

'Yes! One point for team Alex!' I mentally applauded myself for making him laugh.

"Very true, but we need you downstairs, so we ought to be moving." He replied starting down the hallway.

He carried me down the stairs and into the living room, where there were three separate couches of different styles and colors.

One was a black leather-looking couch, another was a white plush-material couch, while the last one was a wooden framed couch with big red cushions on it.

I guess it suits Hatter's choice of wardrobe.

Hatter and March took up the black one couch, while Mal lay sprawled out on the white one, asleep.

The two who were awake perked up as Snow brought me over to the red couch, and set me down gently in the middle, before sitting down next to me.

I heard a groan erupt from Snow next to me.

"Where is Chester now?" He asked.

He was met with, "Here." from Chester as he stood in the entranceway to the living room.

Snow didn't question further, he just responded with a simple, "Good."

Chester's eyes flicked between all of us before he approached the red couch and sat on the right side of me.
