"I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed this!" I yell over the sirens wailing. "You know, I didn't know you'd actually take the bus! I thought you meant pay for a ticket or something!" Sophie yells back.

I grin and take a sharp left turn. "Store's this way, right?!" I call over to her. "Yeah! Keep going, then it's on your right!"

I take a look in the rear view. "At least they don't know where we are! I can't even see them!"

Sophie squeals as I skid the large vehicle into the store parking lot. She just sits there, most likely glad to be alive. I'm actually a great driver. I just like to go above speed limit a bit.

I pull the lever that opens the door and climb down the steps. I wait a moment, and she finally climbs out as well. "That was terrifying."

"I know!" I smirk, then head towards the store.

Doctor's POV

"Is she coming?" Craig asks me nervously.

"Eventually." I assure him. She wouldn't leave me. Especially since all the chocolate frosting is at the store.

The door bursts open, and River and Sophie run in. "Ok, we need to get you two out, now." River says hurriedly, sticking her hand in my jacket pocket and getting my sonic. "Yes, I know that. Do you know how bored I've been?"

Sophie glares at River. "She took a bus, and raced it all the way here. The police were after us!" I laugh. "You are a bad girl." She smirks. "I know. That would be why I'm keeping the handcuffs."

"Do I get a pair?" I immediately switch to flirting. "If you're a good boy." She says, unlocking the cuffs. "Oh, I don't know about that. I suppose I could try."

"Would you two stop flirting already and get me out of these things! I can't be in jail!" Craig shouts. I sigh and watch her sonic his cuffs too. "Here. Have this pair." She hands them over with a wink. I take them and shove them into my pocket. "They'll be fun to use."

"Spoilers!" She says, smiling. "Now, on a more serious note: where's my frosting?"

I point to the door, where the shopping basket is. She walks over and pops the lid off one, scooping some out with her finger and sticking it in her mouth. She makes a pleasant sound in the back of her throat that makes my own breath hitch. I can't help it. When she makes noises like that, it's all I can do not to snog her senseless then and there.

"Come on! Let's get out of here! Here I'll leave a 100 on the desk." Craig says, walking to the door. River sighs and gets all the frosting, then goes out. I follow closely behind. "Ok, there's an exit right over there. We just have to get into the parking lot and fry the security cameras."

I nod in agreement. Craig looks terrified. "I can't go to jail. We don't have the money." He whispers.

"Geronimo!"

-35 minutes later-

Craig's POV

I flip onto the couch with a groan. "Why do you always get me in trouble?" I ask looking over at the Doctor. He shrugs and puts another jammy dodger in his mouth. "So where's Stormaggedon?"

"Stormaggedon?" Sophie asks, confused. "Alfie." I inform her. "Oh my God, Alfie!" I run over to the phone and dial her mum's number. "Hey! Sophie's coming to get Alfie. Sorry. There's an old friend in town, and we forgot to get him." I tell her, then listen to her finish talking on the other line. She can be quite annoying.

"Ok. Bye." I hang up the phone. "Ok. Alfie's fine. She was just wondering why we were so late."

River takes a spoonful of chocolate frosting. "Stormaggedon's the baby, yeah?" Sophie smiles over at me. "Still is. It's only been a couple of months since we saw the Doctor last."

"Ok. That's good." "Ok, well I'm gonna go get him. Love you, and you two don't burn or explode or steal anything." Sophie says, grabbing her keys and walking out. The Doctor snorts. "Why does everyone always say that?"

"You are prone to trouble, my love." River says. "It's not my fault! Like I said: The universe just decides I can fix it and puts it there."

His wife rolls her eyes and gets some more frosting out of a jar. I sit back into the chair and pull my phone out. River glances over at it. "Ugh. A Droid. I hate those things. I prefer Apple myself."

The Doctor slips an arm over her shoulder. "The man that made that company wasn't really all that nice, either." He launched into a story about how he saved everyone that owned one from getting their brains fried.

Sophie and Alfie come in when he's describing the fireballs. "Doctor."

He stops in his story and sees Alfie. "Hello there! How've you been?"

Alfie babbles a little. River chuckles. "I know, right. I can't shoot it, unfortunately. I could accidently shoot his chin off." She says to my son.

The Doctor frowns and rubs his chin. "Stop ganging up on me! My bowtie is cool, and my chin is fine."

Alfie makes another series of noises, and River laughs again. "Believe me, I know. He tells me all the time. And so does everyone else that knows me."

The Time Lord blushes and looks away. "Well," he begins, "you are." Sophie exchanges glances with me. "What are you doing? You understand him?"

"It's some weird alien thing, Sophie. Don't ask." I say.

She brings him over to the couple and sits him up between them. The Doctor steadies his back, and River hesitantly gives Alfie her hand. Alfie does some more babbling, and River's hand goes to her stomach. "No she isn't!" The Doctor suddenly says. "She has a baby in her stomach."

Alfie says something else, and River smiles. "No, I didn't eat it. Why don't you ask Doctor how it got there?"

"Ok, no no no! Alfie, that's for grown ups to know!" I interject from the love seat.

Alfie frowns and starts talking again. "Alfie says that he's very mature for his age, and he's not 8 months anymore. Also, he wants a puppy. And he'll stay up all night this time if you don't tell him or get the puppy." The Doctor tells me.

I groan. "You can't blackmail your dad! How about we get a puppy, and forget about the baby?" Alfie seems to consider it a moment, before talking to the Doctor. "No, I won't! Your dad said to wait until you're older." He replies.

Alfie babbles some more. "He says that you have tell him when he's 14 months." The Doctor informs me.   

"Why don't you use the loo, if you're so smart?" Sophie asks him. He sighs, then starts telling River something. "It's easier when you change him."

"Is that seriously the reason babies don't go to the toilet? They're lazy?" I ask, confused. That can't be right. Babies aren't that smart.

"You humans can't even remember your childhood. That's pathetic." He says with a snort. River sets the empty can of frosting aside and pops  open another one. "Hey! Part human over here."

Alfie says something else. "I did not!" The Doctor denies whatever Alfie says, face flushed, and River raises an eyebrow. "Yes, you did."

           -2 hours later-

"You can come by and stay whenever you like. Maybe play some football again." I tell the Doctor, and give him  a hug. "Maybe I will. We'll come visit." He promises, a smile on his face.

Sophie gives River a hug as well. "You better. Did  you get your frosting?"

The Doctor holds up a shopping bag. "Yep. The TARDIS might try to ration it again, so this is for emergencies."

Alfie babbles from his playpen. "Oh, of course!" The Doctor walks over to him and picks him up. "You're welcome, Alfie! Use it carefully, though. And don't go out of the house with it."

River turns to me. "The Doctor attached anti-grav wheels to his baby walker. I suggest a rope."

I pull her into a hug the best I can with her stomach in the way. "Take good care of yourself. And the baby."

We wave at the TARDIS as it dematerializes, Alfie included.

 Sophie grins over at me. "We should probably go get that puppy."

     River's POV

I sit down on the pilot's chair while my husband does his little dance around the console. "Your flat, here we go!" When I don't reply, he walks slowly around the console to me.

"You've been quiet this afternoon. You alright?" He asks, looking down at me with worry visible on his face. Another jolt of pain goes through my stomach.

"Of course."

Anyways, please review! I love love love comments and votes! I'll do my best to update soon. Thanks! :)]
