Dorian started to smile and placed his free hand on her cheek as they kissed. His heart leaped in his chest from her reply. However, it started to sink at the next bit. But…? He slid back onto the couch and placed the box in his lap, taking her hands into his as she spoke. He kept his eyes studying her face, trying to figure out what she was… worried about. What is wrong?

“With…” he spoke softly as the wheels in his mind spun a million miles an hour. “We are…?” he couldn’t grasp the simple concept, at all. Then it dawned on him. March. His eyes shifted down to her stomach. Alice always had a small-ish figure. Now he realized the slight bump to her stomach. He brought his eyes back up to hers and gave a small smile. 

“Alice, nothing could make me change the way I feel for you. I’m… surprised but… it makes sense. I just… I never thought that…” he trailed off and kissed her hands. Dorian picked the small box again and took the ring out to show her again. “This doesn’t change my mind, at all. I still want this…” He gently took her left hand and hovered the ring over her nail then looked into her eyes. “Alice Liddell, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. To be there for you through these next few months, to care for you even if you will be stubborn about doing certain things and not laying in bed. I want the petty fights about colors and… and names. I want to be a good husband… and a good father.” He swallowed hard and kept looking at her eyes full of emotion, “will you marry me, Alice?”

Alice watched him work through everything, she’d already done the whole process of when? how? and it had settled on her. but a visible look of relief crossed her features and as he repeated his question she nodded. “Yes, of course I will.” She nodded, using her other hand to wipe her eyes again, her heart felt like it was beating so rapidly and her mind was spinning over everything. He was proposing to her. She was staring at him, in complete and utter disbelief mixed with joy. “I love you so much Dorian, you’re going to be a wonderful husband and amazing father.” She laughed, purely from joy.

“I love you.” She let him put the ring  on her finger and then she wrapped her arms around him tightly and hugged him, before pulling back enough to kiss him again. Deeply, passionately, lovingly. She broke away only when she needed to breathe and then placed a few soft kisses on his lips. “So much.”

“I can’t imagine a better person to spend the rest of my life with, Dorian. Nor a better father for any child.” Since, although Jefferson treated Grace very lovingly, Dorian would be better simply for the fact that she was absolutely they wouldn’t have to split up to prove the child with a safe environment. “It will be absolutely wonderful all of it will be.”

Dorian smiled rather weakly as his nerves ate away at him. Relax… relax… He tried his best to not freak out about it. Just a ring, just a question. But what if she doesn’t want to get married? What if the pain from the past is still too great? What if she suddenly doesn’t love me anymore? Dori forced the thoughts out of his mind and walked to the couch with Alice. 

“Alice…” he spoke softly, “I love you. So much. I’ve loved you since the first day you came to tea that day in Wonderland. You were and still are the more beautiful girl… woman I have ever met. You’ve had my heart since that day, and it is still yours.” He paused and surprisingly remained calm, “it will always be yours. All of me, forever yours. I want to always be by your side, through everything. I never truly thought I could be a father but how you are with Ellie… it just… I want that. I want to have children, if you do, too. I would give you the world if I could. Lasso the moon and pull it down for you so you never had a dark night.”

Dorian carefully took hold of her hand and rubbed his thumb over the back, softly. He looked back into her eyes and gave another weak but loving smile. “I am forever yours.” He slid off of the couch and onto one knee. He produced the small velvet box from his pocket and opened it to display the ring. It sparkled brightly with white diamonds and blue sapphires. “Alice, you are truly the flower in the garden of my life. It’s only a small token to show how much I love you but… will you marry me, Alice Liddell?” 

Alice followed him and sat next to him, her eyes on him the entire time, he seemed so nervous and she was reminded much of his mouse self. But this scared her because why would he be so nervous. What could he be about to say that made him act like this? Is he doubting himself? Is he going to break up with me? She was so worried, that was near what happened last time but at least Jefferson had tried to wrok through it. Dorian wouldn’t do that would he? He didn’t know… Did he? What if he knew? She was already showing just a slight bit but it could easily be just gaining a little weight…

As he spoke though she felt relieved, but panic nearly set in as he started to talk about children. Oh Tea leaves he knows. She kept her panic contained, so she could figure out what he actually was speaking about. Her heart raced and she couldn’t help but smile, his words making her relax a bit. Her eyes widened as he moved off the couch and she suddenly found her breath catching a bit and she looked at him. She nodded fanning her face a little as an attempt to keep herself from crying, unsuccessfully.” Yes.” She let out a shaky nervous laugh and leaned forward to kiss him deeply. “Dorian I love you, so much. More than anything in this word or the last.”

“But…” She said softly as she pulled back to look at him. “There’s… something I need to tell you first… I understand if you change you mind… I… hope you don’t… but…” She was nervous and her hand shook lightly as she took his hand in hers and gently placed it on her stomach. “I…” She swallowed hard trying to get the words out. “I’m pregnant…” The words were almost a whisper for she feared what reaction they would bring.

Dorian tried to hush his thoughts. He was very certain even if she wouldn’t accept, they would remain together. There was no one else that Dorian would rather spend the rest of his life with. Whether that was as a mouse or as a human. Being human just made it easier. At times, he wished that he was more courageous but there was no way to change how he was. Plus, Alice claimed to love him as he was; that she loved him as a mouse as well. How could it be so perfect? His hatred for the Cheshire Cat was even starting to fade as the Dormouse spent more time with his Alice. Oh, how he loved to say that.

He placed his hands on her waist and smiled, returning to kiss. “You grow more beautiful with each passing day, Alice. I don’t know how, but you do.” He removed one of his hands from her waist and softly ran his fingers along the side of her face, brushing her golden hair away from her features.

Maybe we should go for a picnic instead. Ask her then. Or out to dinner. Something more romantic. Hushing his thoughts, Dori forced himself to really think about it. It isn’t about the where but who you are with. He motioned to the couch off to the side, smiling slightly, “will you come sit with me…?” Now that is ridiculous, Dorian.

Alice smiled at Dorian, shoving her thoughts to the back her mind, right now, wasn’t the time to tell him. Was it? Would it ever be? There was a point when he was going to notice. It was a bit hard to pretend for too long. Even know she knew the signs, but he’d seemed almost distracted lately and she was thankful he hadn’t said anything. Not yet at least. Oh teas she needed to breathe. She was going to have a panic attack if she let her thoughts dwell too long. She was the more confident of the two of them… usually.

Smile still on her features she looked up at him. “I love you Dori, so much.” She looked at him, lovingly, she truly adored this man and everything he did. He was the sweetest kindest person, or mouse she’d ever met. She knew in her heart that this was all right. And for a moment she was certain that things would go perfectly. He’d be okay with everything, and everything. would be perfect and fairy tale ending… 

But as he asked her to sit with him, her heart skipped a beat, worried he’d figured things out. Maybe that was why he was suddenly so nervous. Did he know? He didn’t seem upset. But what if he was? What was he going to say? She played it cool though and nodded. “Of course, love.”

Dorian paced back and forth in the kitchen as different scenarios played out in his head. Each seeming to end horribly. The dormouse shook his head and sighed. No. He ran his hands through his hair and tried to think simple. Alice… it’s- No. Love of teas, what has gotten into me. Dorian had been a shy and nervous mouse all of his life but this was a new level. Just breathe, Morris. 

The box in his pocket suddenly felt like it weighed over ten pounds. I need some tea. He went to put a kettle on the stove but his hand wouldn’t allow. He shook with anxiety and grabbed at his wrist. Bloody hell. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath in and relaxed. 

Hand over the pocket of his shorts, Dorian jogged down the stairs and turned the corner to look for Alice. He smiled as he saw her, heart flipping in his chest. “Hello, darling…” he smiled lovingly to her.

Alice was in the shop, it was quiet. Too quiet for her liking lately. When she was alone her mind played out thoughts and things that she didn’t want to think about. What would he say? Would he leave her? He wouldn’t do that. But she had no doubt he’d be scared.and worried and what were they going to do? Even though she’d know it wouldn’t happen she was still worried this would go badly. 

She sighed softly, staring at the tea leaves she was working with, it was a familiar blend but it wasn’t coming out right, she needed to tell him. She needed to talk to him. She’d known for a while now, and been 100% certain thanks to a girls night at Katrina’s where she’d taken a test. Her best friend knew, and her best friend had already done this. Hell, Alice had already done this, and been there for Katrina… why was this so scary this time?

As Dori came down she smiled, at least it was easy to smile when he was around, that wasn’t difficult. “Hello, Love.” She put the tea away, it wasn’t working right now anyway and walked over to him, kissing him lightly. A slight reassurance for the moment.

“ElecTRONica was my club, dear Alice.  The GRID is where my Programs and I originated from.” he smiled back, leaning against his cane. 

Alice raised her eyebrows at him. “I’m well aware it’s not your place of origin. I was just curious if you were the one I’d heard of. I do wish I’d gotten to see ElecTRONica, sounded lovely.”

“Is this your first time in wonderland?” she asked, as she led Alice though the woods, coming to a stop at her house. Parasol held the door open for Alice, walking into the kitchen where she filled a kettle with water, and put it on the stove.

“Why no, not at all. I’ve been here plenty. It has been some time though.” She nodded as she let her eyes take in the wonderful land that she’d so long missed. “I did miss it so.”

“I meant home to Storybrooke, but I could try to get you to your world.” He shrugged and met her eyes. 

She shook her head. “No, Storybrooke would do just fine.” She smiled. “I would prefer that, thank you though.”

He smiled back at her. “We can leave whenever you’d like.”

“It would be nice to see Dorian again… I do think now would be as good as ever.”
