I'm now a little over 2 months pregnant. At this point, I can't wait to get our daughter out of me. She's very strong, which is something you could normally expect from a Time Lord anyway, but I think she gets a lot of it from me. She's also discovered that kicking me is a lot of fun, and I don't get a whole lot of sleep. Normally, I couldn't care less about sleep, because I usually only need a few hours a week to do everything. But this process is tiring me out.

We haven't picked out a name. Mainly because we're both terrified that something will happen to her. So far, he hasn't taken me to a hospital, trusting the TARDIS. But I think for the birth he's going to bring me to the hospital on New Earth.

If there is a birth.

The Doctor's POV

River has me here all the time. Not really, she doesn't ask me to, but there's nothing in the universe that could keep me away from her for more than a few minutes.

She has a huge stomach by this point, but all the morning sickness has passed. It's getting more real every single time I look at her. I might be a dad. Again.

However, the only thing I can think about is her going to the Library. What happens when my baby girl grows up with us, off and on, and then one day she comes with me and never sees her mother again? There is no right way I could ever explain that to my child. I've never tried to talk to Amy and Rory about it. They've got no idea one day she'll leave, and I can't fix it. One thing I can't fix. Because if I try to, then either A) Over 4000 people in the Library die or B) I'll never have lived all those time with her and neither will she.

Parenthood is a whole different story. Obviously, I won't take the child anywhere dangerous in any way. But I don't even know how to be a parent anymore. It's been over a millennia. How do I do it without the Academy, without other Time Lord teachers (there's no way my baby's getting sent to an Earth school), without having River at my side the entire time?

She can't stay with me the whole time, because there's a ton of stuff that she hasn't done yet that I have, and if I tried to avoid it, it'll most likely make a paradox. I've learned to hate that word. Paradox.

So I decide what I need: Craig and Stormaggedon.

5 minutes later-

"River! I'm going to talk to some old friends! Want to come?" I yell towards our room. A few seconds later, she emerges, and my breath slightly stops at how good she looks. It's nothing special, really, just a pair of jeans and a black maternity shirt that the TARDIS must of made (fine, yes, it's low cut). But her hair is down, and there's not more than a drop of makeup on her face, save for some lipstick and maybe a little of the other stuff on her cheeks.

"Stop ogling me. Where are we?" She says, walking to the doors. "Right. Craig and Stormaggedon's house. And Sophie's. I just wanted to pop in, you know, say hi. I'm not going to get in trouble this time, though." She rolls her eyes. "I'll believe that as soon as it happens."

"Oi! Trouble doesn't follow me! The universe just puts me where there is because it knows I can fix it." I protest, walking over to her. She reaches into my jacket pocket and rummages around. "Whatever you say, sweetie."

She pulls out a package of- "Hey! Those are my Jammy Dodgers!" I try to swipe them back, but even pregnant, River is faster than me. "No. I want some right now. We're out of chocolate frosting, by the way."

"How are we out of chocolate frosting? The TARDIS replenishes everything at the end of the day." I ask, confused. "I ate all she had for the day, and now I want more. It's her fault for rationing me."

I groan. "River, you can't-" Then someone knocks on the door. I glance at her. "Come on, eat my biscuits. Maybe Craig will have some chocolate frosting." I tell her, opening the door and pushing her out by the small of her back. "If they don't, you have to go get me some." She says, walking right beside Craig. "Hey!" I say, pointing at him, then pulling him into a hug. "Hey, Doctor! What're you doing here?" Sophie asks, smiling. "Oh, you know, just popping around for a visit. No aliens this time, I swear."

Craig gives me a look. "Sure. Who's your friend?" River puts another jammy dodger in her mouth, and I sigh. "My wife, River Song."

"Professor River Song." She corrects, getting another biscuit out the package. Craig's eyes widen. "Oh my god! You're having a baby?! Doctor!"

I give a forced smile. "Yep." Sophie hugs me. "That's great! Here, you come inside and sit down." She says, helping River up the steps to their house. "You don't have any chocolate frosting, by any chance, do you?"

Craig laughs, then sees the look on her face. "Oh. You're serious. Of course you're serious. No, we don't have any. We used it on cake, and I already ate that. Sorry." We walk into the lounge. River sighs, then curses in Gallifreyan. "River! What happens when she hears you talking like that?" I ask her sternly, pointing at her stomach.

"Shut up and go get me some frosting." She says, sitting on the couch. Cravings. Chocolate frosting is the only thing that she has had a craving for the entire time she's been pregnant. I run a hand through my hair. "Ok. Craig, Can I borrow your car? And you, because I don't want to crash your car?"

Sophie and Craig exchange amused glances. "Yeah, mate. Sure. Let me go get my keys."

River's POV

My phone dings inside my pocket. Amy made me get one so she and Dad could talk to me. I shift around and pull the thing out.

Mum: How are you? Is the Doctor taking care of you?

I laugh out loud. She knows exactly how he acts.

Well, right now he's getting some chocolate frosting for me. The TARDIS ran out. I'm good except for the hormones. I'm acting so strange it's hard to believe.

I press send, and Sophie comes and sits beside me. "I made you a cuppa. It helped me when I was pregnant with Alfie." I take it. "Thank you, dear."

We sip on the tea in silence for a moment. "So, when did you and the Doctor get married? I didn't expect it from him. I mean, he's an alien. Why'd you marry him?" I take another sip. "Well, it's complicated. Aborted time line. He didn't exactly ask me to marry him, either."

She nods. "Craig told me he traveled in time. I wouldn't have believed it before he came and roomed with Craig, but after that incident, I'm pretty much open to anything. What year are you from?"

The Doctor's POV

"Craig! What about these? Don't women like these?" I call to him, gesturing towards some flowers.

He walks over with a shopping basket in hand. "I don't know. What kind of stuff does she like? Sophie doesn't like them." I shrug and examine one bouquet. "Well, she likes guns, and explosive stuff. And heels. And lipstick. Not a big fan on hats, though."

He looks at me skeptically. "She doesn't sound like a flower kind of girl." I shake my head. "No, Craig, she's a woman." He sighs. "Did you at least find the frosting?"

I hold up my shopping basket, which is mostly full of the stuff. And a few packs of Jammy Dodgers. "Do you really need that many?" He asks in disbelief. "Yeah. She can go through 2 cans a hour if she wants. I bought a couple for myself, too. She gets angry when I mess with hers."

"Alright. Are you done, then?"

"Yep. Let's go!"

-5 minutes later-

"How did you not know that? Of course you have to pay!" Craig says, struggling against the handcuffs that have him restrained in the chair.

Apparently, you have to pay for everything in 2012. Even food. But how was I supposed to know that? I just walked out with it. It's not like I was trying to steal it. The alarms went off the second I stepped out, and a bunch of humans started yelling at me.

We're currently waiting on an officer to show up, fine us, and let us go. Or River and Sophie to show up. I gave the person that handcuffed us in here the numbers. Hopefully, the people won't put us up in jail. It's times like this, when I can't reach my sonic, that I wish River is here with a good plan.

"Well, I just forgot! Why do you people have to pay for food anyway? That's just rude!" I defend myself. He groans. "No trouble this time, huh? Yeah, right. I guess I should be thankful it's not aliens."

"Actually, I kind of though one of those was a Zygon. He smelled terrible! Or do 21st century store people smell like that?"

River's POV

I pick up my ringing phone. "Professor River Song. If you're looking for my husband, he's out. If you're angry because I shot your emperor or something, too bad. If I stole an artifact of yours, I'll eventually return it. If it's something else, then you can continue talking." I say quickly, then turn it on speaker so I can mix my tea. Sophie raises an eyebrow at my greeting, but doesn't say anything.

"Erm, no actually. There's a man here, says he's called the Doctor. Won't give me his name, but he's with someone named Craig. He gave me this number, said it was his wife. Do you know him?" I take a sip of tea. "Yes, that would be my idiot of a husband. If he's burned down or blown up your house or store, then he'll eventually pay you back."

"No, actually. He hasn't done any of that. However, he and his friend attempted to steal 14 cans of chocolate frosting and 8 packs of Jammy Dodgers." I sigh. "I told him to get 20. I hate him." "No you don't!" I hear yelled in the background.

"Am I supposed to come bail him out or something?" "Well, the police are going to be here any minute to bring them to the county jail until they get bailed out."

I look over at Sophie. "We could just leave him there. What do you think?" She smiles at me, then shakes her head. "Men. Come on, let's to get them. We can take a taxi or something." I hang up on the guy and grab my coat.

"Nah, it's fine. I think we should take a bus." I tell her, grinning mischievously.

[A/N. So, how was that for Craig and Sophie? I'm not done with them yet, don't worry. Stormy's going to be in the next chapter! Please vote and comment! I love feedback, peoples. Feedback is awesome.]
