Chapter 1
"Hows my little Time Lord?" the Doctor asked Dayton as he walked into the play room.
"Daddy!" Dayton said excitedly as he waddled over to the Doctor with a toy truck in his tiny hand.
The Doctor rushed over to Dayton to catch him before he fell over. He was still only just learning how to walk more than a few steps.
"Hello sweetie," River mumbled under her breath concentrating on the magazine in her hands.
The Doctor picked Dayton up and sat him down next to the pile of toys he had been playing with, sitting next to him ready to play with his infant son. "And what are you reading Song?" the Doctor asked.
River held up her magazine showing the front cover without saying a word. All of her concentration was now on the magazine.
"Why are you reading a wedding magazine River?" the Doctor asked.
Dayton picked up a TARDIS blue building block and threw it at the Doctor, hitting him on the arm.
"No throwing Dayton," River scolded gently, but completely forgetting to answer the Doctors question, and still not taking her eyes from the magazine in her hands.
"Momma play," Dayton said to the Doctor sadly. "Momma play," he repeated.
The Doctor picked Dayton up so that he was stood on his feet, "Go get Momma," the Doctor whispered.
Dayton waddled over to River who was sat in the chair less than 15 feet away from where he was playing. The Doctor followed Dayton on his knees, ready to catch him if he fell. When Dayton finally reached River, without falling over, he sat down in front of her and pulled the hem of her trouser leg.
River put down he magazine and looked down at Dayton. "Yes sweetie," she asked giving him her full attention.
"Momma play," Dayton said with a smile as he pointed at the pile of toys he had just left.
"I thought Daddy was playing with you," River said.
"Want Momma,"he insisted.
The Doctor leaned over to his infant son, "Do this," he whispered. The Doctor looked up to River with puppy dog eyes.
Dayton looked at the Doctor and then at River, pulling the exact same face.
"Fine," River huffed. "That doesn't normally work on me Dayton," she cooed rubbing the bottom of her sons chin.
Dayton's face lit up with glee. "Truck, truck, truck," he chanted to River and the Doctor.
"Go get me a truck then sweetie," River said sweetly to her happy son as she sat down on the floor in front of the chair she was previously sat on.
Dayton rolled over onto his knees and crawled over to where his trucks were.
"You okay River?" the Doctor asked as he shuffled over to where River was sitting.
"Yeah," she said with a smile. "I just can't believe how fast he has grown already."
"Can you remember when I told you to cross your legs," the Doctor said with a laugh.
River gave the Doctor a light slap on the arm. "I was in pain you idiot, and that's all you could come up with," she replied.
"Come here," the Doctor said as he put his arm around River. "What else can you remember?" he asked.
"It's all fuzzy to be honest. I remember the cross your legs bit, and then the next thing I can fully remember is Mum and you at my side, and Dayton in my arms," she replied.
Dayton crawled back over to River and the Doctor. "Truck," he said as he handed River a green and yellow toy truck. He kept the red and green truck for himself, "Truck," he repeated proudly holding up his toy to his parents.
"Oi, mister," the Doctor said playfully, "Where's my truck?" he asked.
"Mine," Dayton replied holding his truck close to his chest.
"Where's Daddy's?" River asked.
"No," Dayton said shaking his head, still keeping his toy close to him.
"Dayton," the Doctor said sadly, "Isn't Daddy allowed to play?"
River picked Dayton up and sat him on her knee so that he was facing the Doctor. "Look, Daddy is all sad now," River said gently.
The Doctor looked at Dayton with the puppy dog eyes he had previously used on River. "Please can Daddy play?" the Doctor asked.
Dayton looked to River for approval, who answered with a small smile of encouragement.
"Please," the Doctor pleaded in a childish tone.
"Daddy truck," Dayton said holding out his toy to the Doctor. "Daddy play. Momma play," Dayton added clapping his hands.
The Doctor gave his son a smile, "What about Dayton. Is he going to play?" he asked.
Dayton put both his hands together and placed them on his face, "Hide seek," he says playfully.
River let out a small laugh, "Daddy hide?" she asked.
Dayton grabbed Rivers legs as tight as he could and pulled himself up, "Momma hide," he replied with a grin.
River had been sitting underneath the stairs of the console room for a while now, and she had started to get worried about the where the Doctor and her son were. She had considered going to look for them, '5 more minutes,' she thought to herself. As the minutes passed, River began to worry more, she stood up to go and find her husband and son when she heard footsteps entering the console room.
"Momma!" Dayton shouted. River could hear her sons light footsteps on the glass flooring.
"River, where are you?" the Doctor shouted loudly.
River stifled a laugh as they were less than 5 feet away from her hiding place.
"Momma!" Dayton shouted out again as he looked under the jump-seat.
The Doctor turned around and caught a glimpse of a blonde curl. "Dayton," he whispered.
Dayton waddled back over to the Doctor with a smile on is face. He was enjoying the games of trying to find River.
"Let's look under there," he whispered as he pointed to Rivers hiding place.
Dayton held out his hands for the Doctor to take. He half pulled the Doctor to the stairs, "Momma?" he said quizzically.
River revealed herself by jumping out from under the stairs, "Boo!" she half shouted.
Dayton jumped and fell onto his bum with a jolt.
The Doctor laughed, "River you scared him half to death!"
"Sorry sweetie," River said as she bent down and picked Dayton up from the floor.
"Momma scary," Dayton said sadly, he held out his arms to the Doctor. "Want Daddy."
The Doctor took Dayton and balanced him on his hip. "Momma didn't mean to scare you," he said trying to reassure his frightened son.
"Sweetie," River said gently, "I didn't mean to scare you," she said as she rubbed Dayton's cheek.
Dayton looked to the Doctor for assurance, not sure of what to do.
"Momma isn't scary really," the Doctor said as he put his free arms around Rivers waist. "See?"
River lent in for a kiss with the Doctor, she looked into his beautiful, greenish eyes. "I love you," she whispered before placing her lips on his.
"Eww," Dayton exclaimed as he covered his eyes.
"I love you too sweetie," River said before placing a kiss on her sons forehead. "My husband and son. My two beautiful, amazing boys."
