Chapter 20 - 'Just not yet...'

Clara's PoV

I know he was confused. He pulled back from the kiss and readjusted himself on the sofa.

He knew he had stepped over the line and had gone to far. The one thing I know about the Doctor is that he is too modest.

There's no way he would force me into it, or consider doing anything without consent.

Which I was rather thankful for in a way. I sat up and re positioned my shirt so that I didn't look half digested or pulled out of the ground.

'I'm sorry. I just can't' I said.

'Should he be doing that?' I asked Nina confused. 'He'll be fine. Only way they learn is by falling off something. Then they won't do it again' she said laughing.

'You read way to many parenting books' I smirked and carried on eating my ice cream.

Nina and I were walking in the park, with her son Jack. She was trying to prepare me from mother hood.

It wasn't making me feel any better. Nina is one of those people who listens to every word the book says like its a god.

'You know it says in this book Clara, that a healthy sex life shows for a healthy baby' she said.

I smacked her. 'Yeah and what am I gonna do? Shag the tree?' I said sarcastically.

'Look I'm just telling you the facts' she grinned.

'Well don't. I don't need to be reminded of the fact that I can't do that. Even if he was here, I'm so fat now it surely can't even be possible' I complained.

'Your not that far for 6 months Clara' she said and recited another fact.

'If you name a baby now, statistically they will understand the name when they are born' she said.

'Ummm, even I never knew that one' she said and started reading it up.

'Whatever' I grumbled worried about how close the due date is really getting.

He didn't say a word. He just wrapped his arms around me, where I instinctively put my head in his chest and sighed:

'Just not yet...'
