River sat in a nursery, holding a baby girl wrapped in a white blanket. She had bright green eyes like her mother's and hair like her fathers. The Doctor stood in the doorway, marveling at his beautiful wife and daughter. Abigail Amelia they had called her. For her grandmother. She was only three weeks old but she was already the most important thing in their lives. They still traveled of course. But they stayed away from the more dangerous places. The TARDIS suddenly shook landed with a thud. River held Abigail close to her to protect her.
"What happened Doctor?" River asked as Abigail began to cry.
"I don't know. We weren't even flying." He ran to the control room and started flicking switches. He turned to the screen to find the location. "River!"
"What is it?" She asked, running into the control room with a still crying Abigail.
"We're in demons run."
"I thought it was destroyed."
"I guess they rebuilt." The Doctor began fiddling with the controls, trying to get his family away from the danger. But the TARDIS wouldn't take off. "The TARDIS won't move."
"It's the Silence. They're after Abigail."
"I won't let them get our daughter. I promise." He kissed River then kissed Abigail's head. He then turned towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To see what they have waiting for us. Geronimo!" He stepped outside the TARDIS to be faced by Madame Kovarin (Sorry not sure if I spelled that right) and a group of silence.
"Hello Doctor." Madame Kirova said.
"What do you want? Why can't I move my TARDIS?"
"Give us the child."
"What child? My child? MY daughter? Now why would I just hand over my own flesh and blood?"
"Give us the girl and I will release the hold on the TARDIS."
"I will not give you my daughter!"
"I'm no longer giving you a choice." She turned to the Silence. "Storm the TARDIS and take the child." Five Silence pushed passed the Doctor and ran into the TARDIS. River locked herself in the nursery with Abigail. The Doctor ran into the TARDIS and sealed the doors. Grabbing Rivers blaster he took out the five Silence and ran to the nursery.
"River, it`s alright. They're gone." The door clicked open and River had a look of utter relief on her face. "Let`s get out of here." The TARDIS had complied when the Doctor entered a location. He went back to the nursery to find River rocking a sleeping Abigail.
"We have to do something." River said. "She's not safe here."
"What can we do?"
"Something. Anything. We just can't leave her here."
"We're the only family she has."
"I know that. But the Silence and Kovarin are after our daughter and I don't want to lose her. My parents went through hell when they took me." She got up from her place on the rocking chair and put Abigail in her cot.
"We can't just leave her at an orphanage. Do that and she's just as lost to us."
"It's better than allowing them to get her. They'd just turn her into a weapon."
"She's safest with us."
"They're tracking us. They find us we lose her."
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I don't like it any more than you do. But it's for her own good." A tear fell down her cheek
"I can't see her go." He began to cry as well and hugged his wife.
"Neither can I." The Doctor unwrapped his arms from River and lifted Abigail out of the cot.
"This is not goodbye. No matter where you end up. We will find you again. You will always be our daughter. And we will always love you." The infant snuggled closer to her father. As if to make him feel better. She whimpered and he heard her say "I love you too." He put her back in her cot and went to the control room. Off to find her a safe home.
