Hey Guys, I know that it's a bit rough, but hopefully it will get better. I'm not used to writing 3 person POV, so it's a little difficult to switch gears.

*Disclaimer* I do not own any Doctor Who characters, nor any of the Doctor Who writers' ideas.

Prologue

River Song walked into the large loading dock, cradling the infant in her arms. She approached a computer system and sat down. A bright red "RECORD" button called to her attention and she pressed it.

A message popped up on the screen. River Song followed the directions and verified her identity. The baby continued to sleep soundly in her arms as River began to record her message.

"Oh my darling Harmony. My beautiful baby. This is your mother. I am so sorry. I'm sorry that we had to send you away. There is a war. It's called the Second Time War. There are people, whole races in fact, that would steal you away from us in an instant if they had the chance.

"Harmony, when I was a baby, I was taken from my parents to be used against the Doctor, your father. I cannot, will not, let that happen to you. I want you to grow up and be able to make your own decisions about which side to join. Just know that I love you. Your father loves you. Your grandparents love you. If there was any way around this you have to believe that I would have chose it in a heartbeat. I know this is a lot to take in, but your father and I had no choice. Be good my darling, Mummy loves you."

River shut off the device, wiped a tear from her eye, and watched her message transfer onto a small silver charm. She picked up the precious bit of star shaped metal and attached it to the bracelet on her wrist, careful not to stir the baby.

River sighed. Hers was the last charm to be added to the bracelet. Each one was a different shape, ranging from a bow, an Angel, a clock, and a Police box to a Roman helmet, and each charm told a different story. One told of the story of the baby's father, a Timelord in his 11th regeneration. Another charm gave the child background to her mother's own tragic life. Other charms told the stories of her grandparents, the First Time War and various pieces of history. There were several charms that explained the Second Time War. So much information had to be shared, after all, it was the reason River had to send her child to Earth.

River was kissing the baby goodbye when the Doctor walked in. "Hello sweetie," she managed to choke out while the tears streamed down her face.

"River, darling," he began, "It won't be forever. I won't lose her like I almost lost you." The Doctor did his best at comforting his distraught wife. He was looking upon his wife and child when the red alert began. Red warning lights flooded the loading area as an alarm began to sound. River handed the Doctor their baby and pulled out her data pad.

"They've breached the lower levels, is her pod ready to go," River asked, letting the worry slip into her voice.

"Well, not exactly," came the reply, in a fashion very typical of the Doctor. He quickly walked over to a small shuttle and placed the baby inside. River followed suit, planting a kiss on the little girl's forehead. The Doctor and River shut the shuttle together. Just then, a band of soldiers entered the loading dock.

"How long do you need?" River asked, pulling a blaster out of her jacket pocket while the Doctor simultaneously pulled his Sonic Screwdriver from his own pocket.

"I just have to finish putting in the coordinates," he said, then he opened the control panel, programming the pod while muttering under his breath, "Planet Earth. 51st century. London, England."

He finished entering the coordinates and set the launch sequence. River was slowly getting overwhelmed. He turned to help her and barely missed a blast aimed at him. The Doctor and River were fighting a losing battle, but their guards were slowly pouring through the doors to help. The Doctor turned back to his infant's carrier and shut the lid, failing to notice the bits of sparks in the fried hardware, to anxious to help his wife. His daughter flew away into the night without the Doctor even realizing the error. The system had been reprogrammed.
