Summary:
Charlotte Pond was left at the orphanage on Rolling Street when she was only an infant. Her only possessions are a locket with a Police Box on the front and her parents' pictures on the inside, a small key, and a letter from her mother, River Song. Charlie and her best friend, Alfie Owens or Stormy, as he prefers, are not very well-liked at the orphanage, but they manage, though strange things happen to them. (They are adopted once at age nine by a woman who vanishes a few weeks later, and Charlie seems to have two hearts, of all things.)
When a strange man shows up to adopt them, Charlie knows immediately that he is the same man from her necklace - her father - yet he hasn't seemed to have aged a day. After a wonderful day with their new family, Charlie and Stormy return to the orphanage to pack their things, only to come back out and find that the Doctor and the Ponds have all gone missing. The only thing left is a video from the Doctor and River, telling Charlie and Stormy that they must pilot the TARDIS to where they are being held and rescue them, and not only does her families' fate rest in Charlie's hands, but the fate of the rest of the universe as well...
Okay, so I was on Tumblr (surprise surprise) and I saw a message from someone saying they were trying to find a certain Doctor Who fanfiction, and I started looking for it for them. A keyword was 'baby' and, shockingly, most of the stories were OMGTHEDOCTOR'SCHILDWITHRIVER/ROSE/AMY. So...I got an idea. And this is it. The first chapter should be up tonight - I'm already halfway done. Review if you want :)
Introduction
It's supposed to be pure, but instead it's marked with deep footprints and drips of blood. The only person visible on all of the snow-covered Rolling Street was one River Song, all bundled up in white clothes and with curly blond hair peeking out of the top. Her right arm was bleeding rather heavily but she paid it no mind as she hurried down the street. Her cheeks were flushed nearly the same colour as the blood-spotted ground, and her eyes were filled with tears she refused to let fall.
'There isn't a choice,' River reminded herself firmly as she clutched Charlie closer to her chest. 'It's best for her. It'll keep her and the Doctor safe.'
Her breath fogged around her like smoke as River carefully placed her daughter on the doorstep of the orphanage. She made certain that Charlie was bundled up tight in her blanket and that the letter was secure inside it as well.
"Don't worry, my love," River said to the child in a whisper, reaching down to gently stroke her orange curls. "He'll come and get you soon. He'll always come for you."
And with that River pressed a button on the contraption on her wrist and vanished.
