Alice's POV

When we got to the palace in the carriage Hatter helped me out. He set his hands gently on my waist as I did with my hands on his shoulders. He then gently lifted me out and set me gently on the ground. "You know Hatter even though you're a madman you're still the most gentle man I know." He smiled at me and grabbed my things along with his. "Well shall we?" Hatter asks and I nod.When we arrive I realize it's the room I stayed in the night before Frabjous day and the queen had given me the same night clothes also. Tarrant left the room and I changed into my clothing. Then he came back in. He informed me that he has to finish some hats so I go on the balcony. About an hour later I hear a voice behind me. "Have you any idea why a raven is like a writing desk?" Hatter ask and I laugh. "Have you got an actual answer for me this time." I ask him as he sets his house down on the balcony bars. "No I don't suppose I don't." He says with his electric green eyes glowing. "Are you nervous about tomorrow?" He asks me and I nod. "Of course I am. What if I'm not a good princess or when the time comes queen." He gives a small chuckle. "If it's any comfort you can't do much worse then the red queen." I giggled and went to bump his shoulder with mine but when I did I never found my shoulder leaving his. "I think I know that." I say while laying my head on his shoulder and our fingers intertwined with one another's. "Hatter nothings going to change when I become princess will it?" I ask him. "What do you mean Alice?" He asks questioningly. "Like you won't treat me any differently because I'm princess right?" He sighs before answering me. "Of course not Alice. If I ever treat you differently it's not because you're a princess." I then looked up at him. "What do you mean?" He seemed far off and lost in is madness as he says. "Never mind." I much to tired to argue so I just lay my head back on his shoulder. "You really should get to bed you know. Very big day tomorrow." Hatter tells me. "Ya I know." I sigh and walk inside. I sit with Hatter and tell him goodnight to which he responds with the same. I then slip into sleep. When I wake up the Hatter's not there but I find a note on the bed side table and smile recognizing the hand writing immediately. "Meet me in the kitchen when you wake up- Hatter" When I arrive at the kitchen the Hatter is pouring some tea and the smell of breakfast fills my nose. "Morning sleepy head." He says when she looks up and sees me. "Good morning Hatter." I say walking over to him. He sets down breakfast and tea and I look up at him. "Oh Hatter you really didn't have to do this." He smiled and shook his head. "Of course I didn't have to I just wanted to." He says and smiles at me. "Very big day today hm?" He says and I nod. "Still nervous are you?" He ask and I look up at him and nod. "Well yo-" He was interrupted by my sister throwing the doors open and walking in. "Alice! I have to tell you something!" She rushing over to me and taking my hands. "What is it?" I ask and she smiles so wide. "I wanted to tell you today so all your nerves would be joy. So here it goes. I'm pregnant!" It took a second to sink in but when it did I smiled wide and hugged my sister. "Oh Margaret that's wonderful!" I tell her and she nods. "Mirana told me it's a girl. So I'm naming her Kinsly. Kinsly Ann." I smiled and pulled away. "That's a beautiful name." I say and she nods. "Oh dear look at the time! I have to go get ready for your coronation!" She says and gives me a quick hug before leaving. "Speaking of which so should you and I." Hatter says and I nod.
