On a rainy night in Leadworth, Amy and Rory are greeted by a very small visitor who bears a surprising resemblance to their Doctor. As the couple cares for the small child, a part of their heart that they thought would be empty forever is suddenly filled. Amy and Rory must find a way to fix the Doctor, but there are sinister forces at work that none of them are prepared to face.

~Prologue~

The candle-lights flickered, a sweet aroma filling the darkened room. Rose petals encompassed the large bed, leading the way to the open bedroom door. A police woman awaited her lover on the bed, vibrant red hair left free to canvass her fair, freckled face. A soldier dressed in Roman garb stood sentry at the door, looking a bit sheepish.

"Are you sure about this? You remember how this worked out the last time... with almost dying, and stuff," Rory stammered nervously.

Amy rolled her eyes, hopping off the bed and slapping her husband lightly on the arm. "Trust me, this'll be fun. Now c'mon, before I change my mind." Grabbing his arm tightly, the ex-kissogram dragged her unwilling husband over to their bed, plopping down on the rosy covers and pulling him with her.

Rory grinned, no longer sheepish, as he leaned into her and gave her a long, romantic kiss. Amy was in the process of unbuckling his armor when there came several timid knocks on their front door.

Rory sighed, letting his head hang. "I'll get it." Pushing himself up, Rory the Roman stomped grudgingly over to the door, swinging it open more harshly than he intended. The sight that greeted him made him freeze. On his doorstep stood a soaking wet child of four or five years, clad in nothing but a long shirt that draped past his knees, a heavy tweed jacket, and a limply-hanging maroon bow-tie.

"Hi Rawry," the child mumbled shyly, hands crossed behind his back sheepishly.

Rory broke out of his stupor, clearing his voice lightly. "Uhm, Amy. We have a problem."
