Hey, everyone! This is the final chapter of Alone. Enjoy!


Cheshire looked down at the small figure wrapped in a blanket he was holding in his arms. It looked like an ant compared to his giant hand, and he was scared that he was going to crush the tiny creature. It was asleep, but suddenly it let out a little cry, and he turned to face Alyss. She was sitting on the bed resting.

"Alyss, what does Cheshire do, nya?" He asked nervously. He was unsure of how to stop the crying.

Alyss let out a soft laugh. "Just hold her closer and rock her like this." Alyss said as she demonstrated how to. "You can sing to her too. Babies like it when you sing them a lullaby."

Cheshire did as Alyss told him, and the little baby girl stopped crying. He felt a wave of joy flood over him, and he beamed a smile at Alyss. She smiled back and patted the empty place beside her on their bed. Cheshire walked over and sat down beside her. Alyss reached over and touched the baby girl's face.

"Our little baby is so precious." She said as tears welled up in her eyes.

Cheshire grabbed her hand, intertwined it with his free hand, and kissed the side of her forehead. Four years had passed since their wedding. He was so happy that day knowing that Alyss loved him and was going to be with him forever. He didn't think that life could get any better until the night she told him she was pregnant.

"Cheshire. Come here." Alyss called from their tea room. Cheshire took one last look in the mirror before he went to see Alyss. His black hair still covered the hole that used to be his right eye while his red one stared brightly back at him in the mirror. He now wore a long red shirt with his usual cape and bells. He wore short black gloves now instead of the long black ones he used to wear. He adjusted the bell around his neck and then walked up the stairs and entered the room.

He found Alyss sitting at the small white table with a small cup of tea in her hand. Her cotton-colored hair had been cut, and it now fell to the bottom of her shoulder blades. Her bangs still framed her pale face and her big eyes. She had replaced her typical white dress for a long white dress with blue trim around bottom of the dress. Her blue rose choker still adorned her neck. She motioned for Cheshire sit by her.

He walked over to the table and sat in the chair beside her. Alyss put down her cup of tea and took a deep breath. "Cheshire, I need to tell you something." She said nervously.

"Are you okay, Alyss, nya?" Cheshire asked as he grabbed her hand.

"I'm fine, Cheshire." She said as she placed her other hand on top of his. "Um, it's just…" She took another deep breath. "It's just that…"

"What is it, nya?" Cheshire questioned. He was beginning to worry. Alyss hardly ever got this nervous. It must be something really important.

"Cheshire, I'm pregnant." Alyss stated. She looked at him, waiting for him to say something.

Cheshire froze for a minute and tried to take it all in. Alyss was pregnant with their baby…theirs. Cheshire grabbed her and hugged her. "This is great!" He exclaimed.

Alyss hugged him back and started crying happily. "We're going to be parents, Cheshire." She said.

"We're going to be parents." Cheshire repeated as he teared up too. They held each other for a little longer. He then let go of Alyss and smiled at her. She smiled back as they wiped each other's eyes.

He put his hands on her cheeks and pulled her close for a kiss. They were going to be parents, and he felt like his heart was about to burst from the joy.

Alyss laid her head on his shoulder. "I love you Cheshire, and I love our little baby." She said.

Cheshire smiled and kissed the top of her head. "Cheshire loves you all too." He said. As he looked at her and then at their baby and then back at her, he knew he would never be alone.


The end. Thanks for reading!
