Chapter 16
Rory's POV
I beat on the TARDIS door. Busy? I knew what that meant. "Oi! You two! Doctor! River! Stop! We are in the middle of something important! You two can't just go off to satisfy-" The TARDIS door opens and River's head pops out.
"Listen, dad, he can't exactly stop now. We'll be right back... to the same minute we left, and then- Oh...." She lets out. "Doctor, do me a favor and don't do that when I'm talking to my dad!" She calls out behind her.
"River. No. You get some clothes on and get out here. You can't just re-write time and make me forget this just so you can-" I start, but she interrupts me. "I always was a rebel." and shuts the door in my face.
River's POV (after that for her, then they went back in time and they didn't even know she and him were gone)
"Ok. Got the drives, got the husband.... Got new memories..." I pause to smirk at him and watch him blush. "let's go."
He follows me out the door. "Alright. These are eye drives. External memory storage. Before you ask, the are not connected to the Silence, Amy, Rory. I'm not stupid." I snicker a bit at that last bit. "I'm not! I'm clever. Now hush, River." I roll my eyes.
"So we put these on and we'll be able to remember these guys?" Jack asks me. "Yes." I put my own on carefully. "Ok. Now, Martha, Jack, Mickey, you can go look at the actual Silents. Don't mention any of us in any way. I've already checked all the video cameras and made sure they can't hack into them and see us. I don't feel like getting killed." The Doctor says, putting his own eye drive on.
They nod and walk towards a different door. "Mum, dad, let's go." I walk to the security room. They follow me in.
I switch on the monitor an wait for them to show up.
"Wow." Martha says, looking at the Silent. "Even I wouldn't flirt with that." Jack walks in behind her.
"That is creepy." Mickey joins them.
"Say 'cheese'!" Jack lifts up a camera and begins snapping photos. "Aw, spoilsport! Come on. Just say it." He mocks the creature.
I shake my head. "Idiot." I whisper to the Doctor. He grins at me. I put my attention back to the screen.
"You vermin shall cease to exist once our plan comes into play." The Silent's ugly voice comes.
"Sorry. Plan failed. Didn't you hear?" Mickey taunts it. It stays quiet.
"Well, it wouldn't know." I say, looking over at my husband. "It probably has no idea we stopped it, eh?" He slings an arm over my shoulder.
Amy looks at me. "But still. There could be something else...."
The Doctor shakes his head. "No. There isn't. Amy, I know you're worried. But right now, we are going to enjoy ourselves. As soon as they come out of that room, we're going to go have some tea. You know, humany stuff." He says, taking her gently by the shoulders.
She takes a deep breath and nods slowly. "Ok."
Jack walks in, followed by Martha and Mickey. "Ok, that should do just fine. We just needed to identify it. Thanks."
"Fine by me! Now, Martha, who is it that you want us to meet?" He asks eagerly. "She's at home by now. I just wanted her to meet you." She replies, smiling over at Mickey.
The Doctor claps his hands together. "What are we waiting for?" He grabs my hand and tugs me towards the door.

-5 minutes later-
Martha's POV
Possibly the longest TARDIS ride I've ever been on. The flirting and innuendo that went on with Jack and River was one of the most annoying things I think I've ever experienced.
The Doctor obviously wasn't happy about it, but it's not like it meant anything. I've seen Jack flirt with something that had 3 arms. River just has that flirty nature. This Doctor does, too, but that was torture.
It didn't help that the Doctor would counter all of Jack's flirting with River with something possesive. At one point, Rory noticed his hand on her bum and when ballistic. I doubt he actually meant to do that, though, because he was burning up red and he was just trying to steady himself after a jolt.
I called earlier to make sure that Rachel was home when we got there. Right now, we're all just trying to get Jack and the Doctor to stop bickering.
"Honey, come on!" River grabs his arm and shoves him to the door. "He started it!" He replies childishly.
She rolls her eyes. "You really don't want me to finish it." She says warningly. The Doctor immediately walks out the door. Ha. No match for his wife. I've got to admit, I'm warming up to her.
We follow them out and head towards the front door. "So who exactly are we meeting?" The Doctor lags back to ask me.
"Be patient! She's just inside." "Patience is for wimps." He mumbles. "I heard that, mister." He shoots me a lop-sided grin and runs to the front door ahead of everyone else. "That man is crazy." Mickey states. "Yes, he is."
The Doctor opens the door once we reach him and walks in. "Hello! Anybody here?"
Rachel shows up with a confused look on her face. "Who're you?" He smiles. "I'm the Doctor. You?"
She starts jumping up and down. "Seriously?! You're the Doctor?" She asks him excitedly. Then turns to me. "Mum, he isn't that good looking. Mickey looks alarmed at this.
I just roll my eyes. "Oi! I like this body!" He says, obviously not offended. "So do I." Jack says cheekily. "Shut up Jack." He mumbles.
"So, what's your name?" He asks Rachel. "Rachel Smith." He grins and looks at me. "She's a dead ringer for you, Martha."
"And Mickey." he adds. I smile. "I told her about you. Believe me now?" I direct the question at her. "I wanna see the phone box!"
He takes her hand. "Then let's go."
[kind of a short chapter. Sorry. Just got writer's block. But they're going to talk more about children inn the next chapter!]
