Rating M because not sure where headed

Chapter 1. Amy

Amy hadn't noticed it right away.

Not because she wasn't paying attention or anything, but in that short span of time between getting remembering Rory, being bloody shot, put in the Pandorica, being rescued from the Pandorica and restarting the universe a few things had slipped her mind.

And after that there was the wedding and the remembering of the Doctor. For a few brief seconds she had watched her new husband stand by himself in the corner with his head in his hand but then the Doctor grabbed her away to show her a new dance move and when she glanced back, tears of laughter in her eyes, her husband was no longer there.

Later in the evening she saw him dancing with a few flower girls in a circle, twirling with them and laughing. That brought another pause as Rory had always like kids, but never really been at ease with them. But her dad steered their dancing in another direction.

After the wedding they had flown off again. With and without the Doctor they had traveled the stars. She had been too happy, too young to pay much attention to anything else. It was her honeymoon and that was all she carried about.

When the Doctor finally dropped them off back home, she felt distracted by the longing for the stars. She missed being out there, among them and not stuck here on earth. She wasn't waiting this time; she knew he would come back and that they would see each other again. She and Rory had settled into a comfortable routine, he would work and she would well, do whatever. She felt no rush, she was waiting but not.

At first she had been really excited to hear about Rory's Roman days as she called them. She kept waiting and waiting for him to mention them, to reference in any way but the days went on and no such thing happened. He pretended as though they never existed. She wondered for awhile after that if to him they hadn't. Maybe only his memories of the Doctor where brought back. Maybe he hadn't been a Roman after all in this realty. That idea was dashed rather soon though when she happened to get up early one night to pee and she heard him. Rory usually went to bed most nights and she was one of those people who could just pass out after she got into a bed. So she hadn't noticed it. But now she heard him murmuring in Latin. She wasn't sure it was Latin that first night though. It took days and weeks of her pretending to be asleep to catch him at it. When she finally figured out what it was, she was furious at first. How could he be hiding this and lying to her? Being Amy she confronted him about it. He denied it passionately and with such confusion that for a time she was dissuaded. Maybe it was just muscle memory peeking out of his dreams or something along those lines.

So she let it go. Let those memories and feelings slip beneath the surface and waited. She waited for something more waited to be back out there among the stars with her two boys. She wondered if he would remember, wondered what he really had forgotten.
