River's POV

I rest my head on his chest. Today, with Rachel, I saw such an amazing side of him. The father side. And I liked it. River. He says in my mind. Dammit. You left it on. He thinks amusingly.

I thought we were going for a round three. I think back. No, really River. Children. We could always try. If that's what you want. But you know how dangerous it is.

"It's too dangerous. I won't do it." I mumble into his chest. He strokes my hair. Ok. But you know we could do it. Protect them. The only way anyone would ever get to my children would be past my dead body.

That's what I'm afraid of. I admit. He just continues to play with my hair. He has a lot of his thoughts blocked up. I start tracing Galifreyan on his arm. I remember when you learned Galifreyan. He projects.

Mmmhm. He stops playing with my hair and sits up suddenly. River, you do know that I absolutely do not deserve you.

Of course you don't. I think back jokingly. He pulls me into a hug. "No. I really don't." Of course you do.

"River, one day you're going to meet me. A young me. And I won't know you. I just want to apologize in advance." I rub his back soothingly, when really, my own tears are threatening to fall. He holds me tighter, probably feeling what I'm thinking.

I just want you to know that I'm going to be an idiot. The biggest idiot in the universe. And I'm so, so sorry. I tuck my face into his neck. Oh, my love. You are always forgiven.

No, I insist on making it up to you. He drops a kiss to my hairline. Round three? I think to him.

He nips my neck in answer, then starts to trail a line of open-mouthed kisses down my front. He pauses to look up at me. And possibly a four and a five.

-The Next morning-

I wake up to him tracing my body. I flutter my eyes open when he touches a particularly sensitive place. He blushes. "Sorry." "It's fine. I really don't mind." I tell him, smirking.

He rolls his eyes and continues. I shut my own. When he starts to kiss me, though, I sit up. "Can we at least eat first? I'm exhausted. We can continue as soon as I have some."

"Promise?" He looks up pathetically from my chest. I shove him off me, grab my robe, and head to the kitchen.

Dad looks up from his phone. "You're up late."

"Didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night."

Mum smirks at me. "I wonder why." Rory ignores her. I think he finally learned not to comment. "What?" The Doctor asks as he enters the kitchen in his own robe.

"Didn't get much sleep last night." I reply, pouring myself some tea. He turns slightly red, but doesn't say anything. Amy snickers.

"Oh, hush Pond." He says, exasperated. She just grins back. "Why? River certainly didn't."

The Doctor ignores her and gets a teacup out. "Back to teaching today." I change the subject.

Rory nods, still not saying anything. Mum's about to reply, no doubt with some sort of innuendo, when the Doctor yelps. I turn to see him flinging his hand around. "Ow!" "Spill some tea?" Amy asks, amused.

He shakes his head. "Burner." Her eyes widen. "Oh my God! You'll have a second degree burn! Rory, help him!" I sip my tea and watch the scene enfold.

I have serious doubts he'll have a second degree burn. Time Lords can handle fairly extreme temperature. A burner for a time lord probably does about as much as a little hot grease on a human. I program the TARDIS to make me an egg and sit down to eat it.

"Here, run some cold water over it. Should cool it down. I'll go find some ointment." Dad turns the water onto cold and leaves the room.

I start laughing, and he glares at me. "River! He could be hurt!" "As if. He's a TIme Lord. Even to me, a burner is more like a drop of hot grease. And I'm only part Time Lord!" I explain.

He huffs. "It did not. It hurt." I walk over to him and press my lips to the burn. "There. All better." I say mockingly. "It is not." he replies, sticking his tongue out at me.

Rory walks in with the ointment. "Here." He squirts some out and rubs it on. Then he pulls out a bandage and places it over it. I go to the table and finish off my egg. "I'm going to get dressed for the University.

The Doctor comes after me. "First, you have a promise to keep." He says, gripping my waist. I sigh, pretending to be reluctant. "Just one."

Amy's POV

"They are such an adorable couple." I tell Rory, sipping some coffee. He looks up at me. "Ok."

"This is when you say, 'Yes, I couldn't see them with anyone else.' " He gives me a look. "We need to go back home. I need a female to talk to other than my daughter." I say.

"Ok. Go get the Doctor or River and tell him to bring us home." I roll my eyes. "They're a little busy, if you haven't noticed." Rory took a sip of his coffee. "Just getting dressed."

"No, they're doing a little more than that. The shower turned on." I say casually. He groaned. "Will their honeymoon ever be over?"

Yeah right. "They're time travellers! They can tell each other they're on their honeymoon as long as they want!"

He frowned. "Oh God. We really do need to pop back home for a bit."

River's POV

I turn off the shower. "River!" He whines. "I've got to get back to the University, honey." He wraps his arms around me from behind. "That can't wait a little longer?"

"No." He swipes my wet hair to the side. "Sure?" "Yes." He reaches forward and turns it back on. "You know I do, dear." He kisses the back of my neck. "Can't we forget that a little longer?"

I'm about to protest when he starts kissing up and down the back of my neck. "I think we can." he continues.

I sigh as he finds that one spot and bites it gently. "I think-" He holds up my hair- "-you're forgetting about your husband."

I turn around to face him. "You know that's not true." He leans forward to plant a kiss on my lips. "Yeah, I do." I turn the water off. "Come on." He pouts. I did say only one.

I step out of the shower and grab a towel to start drying my hair with. "When do you want me back?" He grabs himself a towel and wraps it around his waist. "Tomorrow night will be fine."

He sighs. "Alright." We both know I can't stay forever. This whole come-back-this-day thing is going to have to stop eventually. It's just the way our time-lines are.

He walks behind me and stills my hands. I've been drying my hair pretty furiously, apparantly. He takes the towel and folds it in half, then sticks small pieces inbetween it. He pulls it through again and again, obviously trying his best to be gentle.

"You know, I almost wish we could have that." "Have what?" I ask him. "You know, a normal life.Not a human one, but one where our time streams went the same way." I nod. There isn't a day when I don't think about that. Maybe one day, it'll stop. Maybe.

-2 hours later-

Doctor's POV

I really want to go straight to the next day. I took the Ponds to where they had to go, and now it's just me. Unfortunately, River told me to take a break. One day, she had said. Just stay out of trouble for one day.

It's not working well.

River's POV

I tidy up my desk slowly. That stupid, sweet man. I can't get him out of my head for a minute.

The door to my lecture hall opens. "Professor Song?" I look up to see a young girl standing there, looking at me expectantly. "Yes?"

"Professor Halken told me to come get you. Something about health exams."

Oh, that's right. The yearly health exams were today. I stood up. "What room?"

"809." I nodded and took off my gun. "Thank you." I told the confused girl, who was most likely wondering why I had a gun. The girl left and shut the door. I then proceeded to take off the rest of the guns I had on me.

The machines would detect them, and then there'd be questions I probably didn't want to answer. I took to the hallway quickly, feeling naked without any weapons.

I finally reached the room and pushed the door open. "Professor Halken." I acknowledge the man.

"Hello. If you'll be so kind as to take off any metal you're wearing, and put them in the bucket."

I nod and go to the changing room. Professor Halken and I aren't exactly on good terms. He was the medical examiner (he made extra money for it), and the last time I showed up and had an illness that had been extinct for thousands of years. He had been ready to report me for time travel. I got out of it, but not without him being very suspicious.

I pul the gown on and walk out. "If you'll step onto this plate." I go over to it. I really don't like being so vulnerable. He doesn't have a weapon, I can tell from his body language, but he is definitely hostile towards me.

"Perform body scan." I stand still as the waves run over me and analyze me. "Results."

They pop up on a screen in front of him. He squints and looks at it. "Fairly healthy. One bone that could use a little tweaking, but not serious. Not ill, and- oh my god."

I furrow my eyebrows. "What?" His eyes are widened, and he's staring at the screen. I push him out of the way.

And I see exactly what has him like this. Because the screen is showing the following-

PREGNANT- 1 WEEK
