Chapter 1 - Homecoming part 1

Amy's POV

Today was going to be a perfect day, it was a Saturday in June 1946 and Rory and I were getting our things together, ready to go to the Orphanage to bring home the beautiful baby boy we were adopting. He's gorgeous, blonde hair and green eyes, he's 6 months old and at the moment he's called Joseph, but we were going to change that.

"Rory, have you got the blanket?" I screamed up the stairs.

"Yes, it's in the bag at the bottom of the stairs with the clothes you bought to put him in, have you seen the Camera?"

"Our bedroom, top drawer"

"Thanks, got it"

Rory then comes down the stairs and puts the camera in the bag with all of the other things they were taking with them.

"I can't believe we're actually going to do this" I said

"Neither can I?"

"It doesn't feel right though, without River"

"I know, but wherever she is, she'd want us to be happy, she'd want us to be a family, you know that"

"Yeah, you're right, now let's go get our son"

"You got it"

Then we went outside, locked the door, got in the car and drove half an hour to get to the Orphanage.

Upon our arrival we were taken to Mrs Wilson's office, she's the head honcho, and we were told to sit down in the two chairs opposite hers while we waited for her to come in. Five minutes later she did.

"Mr and Mrs Williams, good morning"

"Same to you Mrs Wilson" I replied.

"Now I see you have a bag there, does that contain some clothes you would like to put the baby in?"

"Yes"

"If you could get them out and pass them to me, I will get one of the carers to clothe him"

Rory then reached into the bag and pulled out the TARDIS blue romper suit, trousers, booties, jacket and blanket we had had made for him.

"What a curious colour, I have never seen this shade of blue before" she pondered.

"It's our favourite colour"

"I gathered, one moment"

Then she popped out of the door for a few minutes to give the clothes to a carer to dress our son in. When she returned she sat in her chair opposite us and pulled out a few papers from the draw in her desk.

"So I have a few papers here for you both to sign, have you decided on a name for him, or are you going to keep Joseph?"

"No, we'd like to call him Anthony"

"A wonderful name, my own Nephew has that name, did you know that it means priceless?"

"Yes, it's why we picked it"

"Jolly good, will Anthony have a middle name?"

"Yes, Brian, after my father" answered Rory.

"Anthony Brian Williams, a good strong name, now if you could both look through these papers and sign wherever it says Mother and Father".

We then signed our names on all of the dotted lines we saw and gave the papers back to Mrs Wilson.

"Good now, I want to remind you both that a Social Worker will be along to visit you in a month's time, to make sure you're getting on ok"

"We remember, thank you, we'd just like to take our son home"

"And so you shall, Lillian will be along with him in just a moment"

A minute or two later a 25 year old woman called Lillian entered the room with mine and Rory's new son, we immediately stood him and I covered my mouth with my hand, utterly amazed, because now, legally, that bouncing baby boy was all ours.

"Mr and Mrs Williams, here is your son" said Lillian before handing him to me, and holding him in my arms I smiled the biggest smile and allowed him to play with my finger.

"Umm Mrs Wilson, we have a camera in the bag, could you please take a photograph of the three of us?"

"Of course"

Rory gave her the camera and we posed for a photograph before leaving the building and heading home.

I walked through the open door with my new son, looked down at him and said "Welcome home Anthony"

"Come on Amy, let's take him upstairs, show him his room"

The three of us then went up stairs and walked into the nursery we had painted, the walls were a pale blue, three of them and various animals painted on them while the fourth wall had a hand painted picture of the TARDIS on it and the ceiling had been painted with dozens of stars.

I placed my son into his new cot and watched him stare at the mobile, which had various animals on it.

"Rory, he's perfect, absolutely perfect"

"He is, and this time we're going to be able to watch him grow"

We just stood there for a few minutes watching him watch us, then Rory said "He's probably hungry, do you want me to go make up a bottle?"

"Please, I'll be down with him in a minute"

"Okay"

Then Rory left the room and I heard him walk down the stairs, seconds later I heard something smash on the kitchen floor, which caused Anthony to cry, so I picked him up and took him downstairs, where, when I walked into the kitchen I saw someone I never expected to see again, my daughter, River Song.

"Hello mother"

"River, oh my god!"

"Who's this?"

"This is Anthony, your brother"

River then looked at her much younger brother in complete and utter shock.
