Chapter 8
Doctor's POV
I follow her into their house. "So, what's the plan for the day?" I ask, sitting on the couch. "I don't have one. I don't know. Mum, dad, what do you think?" River asks the Ponds.
"We could go shopping, I guess." Amy says. "But definitely NOT the way you had your first shopping trip. That was just mean."
River grins. "Come on, I should think I'm excused from that. I did save him that day." "After you poisoned me!" "Yeah, sorry about that. I knew you'd kiss me at some point."
"I might forgive you." I say. She pulls me in a kiss. "How about now?" I shrug. "Almost there." She pulls me into an even deeper kiss. "River! Your parents are right there!" I whisper. "Yeah, and her PARENTS can still hear you." Rory says.
"Right. Sorry Rory. River is being-" She kisses me again, catching me off guard and sticking her tongue in. I go with it, moving my lips up and down. We've been kissing a minute or two when Rory clears his throat.
"Maybe you two should go back on the TARDIS.... I don't think you like going for very long without making out." He says. I pull away grudgingly.
"Maybe we should, sweetie. We can come out whenever we feel like it." River whispers. "Ok! Be back in a bit!" I pull her to the TARDIS. "Just give us a few minutes!" River yells back at them.
Once in the TARDIS, she turns to me. "Now, where were we?" She grabs me by the collar and we are once again kissing. This is very addictive.
After a few minutes, River pulls away and starts kissing my neck. I pull her trousers off quickly, and then I feel her tugging mine off.
"I'm going to miss this." she murmurs. I nod in agreement, working on unbuttoning her shirt. She continues kissing my neck.
Once our clothes are off, I pull away for a moment. "Let's go to our room." I lead her there, and she pushes her lips onto me. I fall on the bed, and she lands on top of me.
Our legs intertwine as she kisses me wildly. Good heavens, this woman makes me do crazy things.
Amy's POV
I hear Rory yawn beside me. "This is weird." "I know! Our daughter and our best friend making out in front of us? Come on!" I say back.
"Actually, I was talking about the seam in my shirt, but that's weird too." He says.
I lean back into the couch. It's weird to even think the Doctor could do...that. I thought aliens would have some other weird sciency way of reproduction. Apparently not.
The Doctor is my best friend, and he's very child-like. How could he even do that with my daughter if he's so.... Doctorish? I've kissed him before,(heat of the moment), and he seems so awkward about it. I don't even know. It's just one of those thoughts that you WANT to get out of your head, but you can't. Gross.
They've been in there 2 hours now. I decide to go into the TARDIS. Definitely not in their room, just to see if they're coming or not. I walk out onto the grass and approach the time machine.
I then crack the door open. Satisfied they aren't doing anything in the control room, I walk in a little further. I'm about to call out when I hear- "Oh, Doctor, do that again! That is absolutely thrilling!" I hear a thud. I shudder and immediately walk out.
Doctor's POV
I jump on the bed, making River bounce high into the air. She laughs. "Oh, Doctor, do that again! That is absolutely thrilling!" I get a running start and do it again. "This is fun. You, me, and a bouncy bed. What more could a girl ask for?" She says.
"You tell me." "Absolutely nothing, my love." "Well good. I was trying to give you everything you wanted. How've I done?" She pulls me into a kiss. "I'm guessing good..." I say once she pulls away.
"We should probably go in now. Mum and Dad are probably wondering why we're still out here." "Technically speaking, we do take a lot longer than humans." She rolls her eyes. "Whatever. Let's go inside. We promised shopping anyway."
I pull on my clothes and wait for her to do the same.
River's POV
Once my clothes are on, I hook arms with the Doctor and walk out with him. He twists the doorknob and pushes. "Pull, sweetie." "I know how to open a door." "Apparently not."
He pulls the door open. "Time ladies first." "So chivalry isn't dead." "Who's chivalry?" "Someone you may meet someday." "Really?" "Spoilers..." I say with a grin, and walk out ahead.
"There the crazy in love couple is! Have an absolutely THRILLING time?" Mum says. The Doctor looks at her, confused. "What?" "Well, I went to see if you two were ok, since you had been in there for 2 hours, and River was yelling about how THRILLING you were." The Doctor's eyebrows are knitted in confusion.
I realize what she meant. "Oh, mummy mummy. That is not what was going on. Well, it was, but what you heard was the Doctor and I jumping on our bed. And when I say jumping, I mean literally jumping. Not on each other at the moment." I say with a smug look.
"River! It's private what goes on in our room! Now they know that we were..... Dancing." He whispers in my ear. "Oi! I can hear you, Doctor. And besides, I already knew you were.... dancing, I guess?"
There's an awkward silence in the room. "So, shopping, yeah? I mean, I find us all just standing here a bit rubbish, so why don't we go?" Dad breaks in.
"Yes, so where would you like to go shopping?" The Doctor asks. "We could always go to France." Amy suggests. "Doctor, you've got plenty of money, right?"
"Well, actually, I spent it all on fish fingers and custard. We were running low. But, I can go borrow some from Harry Truman."
"Show-off." I mutter. "You never do seem to mind that, though." He says back. "I hate you."
"No you don't! Let me get going then, yeah? What's the date, Amy?" Once she tells him, we all walk in the TARDIS. "Let's go see Harry Truman!" He walks around the console, pushing buttons and pulling levers. I walk behind him, fixing it all.
"Melody, don't mess with my TARDIS!" "Doctor, she likes me better anyways. Besides, you're doing it wrong. The quantum energy phobe stabilizer is supposed to be set to off. You don't need it. That, and several other things you messed up." "It looks cooler on!"
I pull one last lever to make us leave. The Doctor sees me. "Now we don't get to hear that noise! That is such a cool noise! Ruined the fun, see River?" "Actually, it's quite entertaining to argue with you, honey."
He grumbles a bit and walks to the doors. "Hello Harry! Nice to see you again!" He says as he shuts the doors behind him. I walk around the TARDIS again, fiddling with the controls to get us to France. I don't make us leave yet, just do all the other things that need to be done.
The Doctor walks in with Harry and a bag. "Harry, this is my wife River Song and these are my friends Amy and Rory." He pauses. "And River, I swear I'll never get tired of saying that." I grin.
Harry walks over to shake my hand. "Nice to meet you." "It's nice to meet you as well, Mr. Truman." He offers a quick smile, and then shakes hands with Mum and Dad as well.
"If you don't mind me asking, what are you using my money on anyway?" He asks.
"Well, it's River and I's honeymoon, and we wanted to go shopping in France. If you need the money, I can go get some from one of the Presidents."
"No, no. Take it. I've got plenty of the stuff." With that, he walks out of the TARDIS. I pull the lever.
Amy's POV
I watch Harry Truman walk out the doors. I think about the Doctor's comment about them being married.
"Doctor? River?" "What is it, dear?" "Well, what's River's last name? It isn't Doctor, right?"
River turns to the Doctor. "She has a point. Wouldn't my name be-?" she leans in to whisper in his ear. "I suppose it would. But do you know what that means now?"
River looks at the ground and nods. "Yes, I do."
"Wait, wait, wait. You know his name?" I ask River. "Yes." "When did he tell you?" "You do know that HE is still in the room, right?" The Doctor interrupts. "Melody, answer me. When did he tell you?" She looks up and smiles.
"Let's go! We're here." She walks out the TARDIS. "Ok. That must be where the Doctor gets it from." "Gets what from?" "Walking away from questions we ask you."
He looks at me. "Rory, go watch your daughter for a moment. I need to talk to Amy." He looks at us both, shrugs, and walks out.
"Amy, look. River is my wife. I cannot tell anyone other than my wife my name. Really, I'm not sure I should've told her. I guess she can get anything she wants when she's- never mind. The point is, it's a very dangerous thing. And I don't want to put anyone in more danger than they're already in." He says.
"She can anything she wants when she's what?" I ask curiously. "Nothing." I think a moment. "No. That is NOT what you meant. No way." "What?" He asks. "Did you mean she gets whatever she wants when she's naked?"
He walks out and I laugh. "It's not funny Amy!" "No, it most definitely is."
River's POV
"Love, come here a moment." I gesture to the Doctor. I want to know what he told mum.
"Yes?" "What did you tell her?"
"I said that you're my wife, and I can only tell you. I also may have let slip that you can get anything you want when you're- something."
I look at him. "You did not say that. No way." "Well, technically, I didn't finish my sentence. She sort of guessed that part."
I slap him. "Ow! That hurt!" I hear Amy laughing to the side with Rory. I shoot them a look, and they head back into the TARDIS. "Good. It was supposed to." "I thought no more slapping once we're married!"
"You thought wrong." "It slipped out, River. I didn't mean to actually say it." "Oh, I don't doubt that." I respond. "Then why, did you slap me?" "Because you were thinking it. I don't want that to be the reason I get what I want from you." His face softens. "That's not what I meant. At all. I told you because I love you. I told you because we were about to do something that I hadn't done in a long time. Actually making love. I told you because you're my wife."
"So you've done it before? With who?" I ask curiously. "I had children, River. Before the War. That's not how they were-" he pauses, trying to think of a word- "made, but I've only done it maybe once or twice before you. I had a wife then. But it was more arranged. I have you now. And-" He pauses, to wipe a tear from my cheek. "-you're crying."
"Really now? I thought that was just rain." I try to say jokingly. It fails, and he pulls me to his chest. I don't like crying in front of him. I'm the strong one. But now, I can't help it. The thought that his children are gone, the thought that he's shared something that special with some one other than me, the thought that he lost everyone-it's too much to deal with.
So I just stand there, crying in his arms. "I'm sorry, my love. I'm so sorry." I mumble against his chest. "It's not your fault. Technically, it's mine."
I look at him square in the eye. "Never, never, NEVER say that it was your fault again. It wasn't. You did what absolutely had to be done. It took courage. But it is NOT your fault."
He pulls me closer, and then we're both crying. Not sobbing. But tears are running down our faces. I hate that. I hate that he's crying. But I am so very glad he doesn't have to keep the burden to hisself anymore. It's too hard. I know that I can help him, and I'm glad of it.
