Hi! This is a story of word prompts, where I randomly choose a word from a hat and write a oneshot about it. Each oneshot will make one chapter in this story, and if anyone wants to comment or PM me a few words to add to my hat, I'll gladly take any word contributions. I really hope you all enjoy this!
This one takes place directly after TWORS. I know this one is more of a thought process, but the others will have dialogue and will follow more of a story layout. :)
1: Aspiration- Strong desire, longing, or aim; ambition
She was his wife now. He smiled as the idea of it fully sank in. He had always known that River would mean something special to him, but this? This was fantastic. It was exciting and exhilarating and the Doctor found himself giddy at the prospect of being a husband; River's husband.
What should he start with? The Doctor was absolutely lost on what he should do first. Should he take her out or stay in and attempt to cook dinner on his own? Maybe he could do both.
One thing he knew for certain was that he would always be there for her, not matter what. He would tear time apart if he had to.
She had done exactly that for him.
The Doctor was startled and caught off guard by the intensity of how much he loved River. It was something he had always known but never fully realized. She was his world, his worlds, and he would make sure she knew that of all things.
He suddenly felt very, very lucky. He had a wonderful, beautiful woman as his wife. Almost out of nowhere he got protective. River was his wife now; he had to take care of her. It was his job, his responsibility; it came with loving someone as much as the Doctor loves River. He would die for her if the need was to arise, and he would do it without hesitation. He would do absolutely anything for her.
From then on, he sort of viewed it as an aspiration, an ambition, a desire. Care for his River Song, love her more than he had ever loved anything.
After all, the Doctor thought for the millionth time, loving the sound of it, she is my wife.
