This is my first story! I hope you like it.


Rory knocked on the bathroom door. "Amy?" he called, "Are you okay?" She had been acting weird lately and now he could hear her vomiting.

"I'm fine," she called, "Don't worry about me."

"Amy," Rory said, "It's my job to worry, now I'm coming in." He opened the door to find Amy bent over the toilet, emptying her stomach of her last meal. "Amy," Rory said. He kneeled down beside her and pulled her hair back. She finished and wiped her mouth.

"Was it that Mezzaraenean food?" he asked, knowing that's exactly how the alien food had made him feel.

Amy shook her head. "No," she said, "It's been going on for almost a week."

"A week?" Rory asked, offended at the fact that she hadn't told him, "How did I not know about this?"

Amy bit her lip. Rory could see the hint of guilt in her eye.

"Amy?" he asked gently, "What's going on?"

"I'm pregnant," she said, "The TARDIS confirmed it yesterday."

Rory's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his face. "Does the Doctor know yet?" he asked, his mood instantly transforming to excitement, "Or River? Please tell me you didn't tell them before me."

Amy shook her head, Rory's excitement was contagious. "No," she said, "Only the TARDIS knows."

"Should we tell them?" Rory asked, "Of course we have to tell them." He stood up fully intent on going straight to the Doctor.

"Rory," Amy said, grabbing his arm and pulling him back, "This might not be a good thing."

Rory turned back to her. "What do you mean?" he asked, his excitement souring slightly, "This is the best thing there is."

Amy bit her lip again. "I'm just worried," she said, "You know, after what happened to River and all."

Rory pulled her tightly into his arms. "I promise you my dearest," he murmured into her ear, "I will not let that happen. Now we know the stakes, and we've felt the pain, and I will not let it happen, I promise." And he meant it, more than he had ever meant anything.

He felt Amy nod into his shoulder. "Alright," she said, "Let's go tell the family."

The Doctor was in the library, River was nowhere to be found. He looked up from the book he was reading as they walked in. Rory saw the title was: The Exploits and Adventures of Brigadier Gerard.

"Good book?" he asked, awkwardly trying to make conversation.

"And seriously underrated," the Doctor replied marking his page, "Written by the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I was thinking of paying him a visit, he told he was going to base a character off me and an old friend. I've been looking for the correct books."

"Interesting," Rory said, "But we came to talk about something else." He nearly exploded with the news/

"Yes," Amy said, rolling on the balls of her feet next to him, "We have some very important news."

"Before you tell me," the Doctor said, "Is it good news, or bad news? Or is it just news for me to interpret in any way I want?"

Rory and Amy looked at each other, momentarily confused by the Doctors. "I guess the third," Amy replied.

"Alright," the Doctor said, "What's your news? Or should I guess?"

"Why don't we just tell you," Rory said, wanting to allow Amy to tell her best friend.

The Doctor nodded enthusiastically.

"I'm pregnant," Amy admitted, "The TARDIS thinks I'm about two months along."

The Doctor's jaw dropped. "You-" he pointed and gestured wildly, "Are you really?" he asked finally, "Is there really a baby in there?"

Amy laughed. "Yes," she said, "TARDIS confirmed."

"Is it a boy or girl?"

"We don't know," Rory said, beginning to wonder himself, "It's too early."

"I've never had this happen before," the Doctor admitted, "It really is rather exciting."

"What about River?" Rory asked, raising one eyebrow.

"Completely different," the Doctor replied, "We didn't actually know her until the last minute, and I never really met her when she was a baby." He smiled at Amy and gestured at her belly. "Just think: in a few short months, you two are going to be parents. And I get a baby brother or sister in-law."

Rory smiled at Amy and the Doctor, all they were missing was River.

"Did I hear good news?" They all whipped around to see the sassy Miss River, "Or were you talking about me?"

Amy smiled. "River," she said, "Rory and I have some pretty big, recently discovered news."

"What is it?" River asked, sassily cocking her head to the side.

"In a few months," Amy began slowly.

"You're going to have a baby brother or sister," Rory said quickly, not willing to wait for Amy to finish.

River looked taken aback. She looked at Amy, then Rory, then Amy again. "You're?" she asked.

Amy nodded. "I am," she cried.

River pulled them both into a tight and well-deserved hug, which the Doctor of course joined as well.

Rory watched the family he loved. They weren't in any way normal, but he wouldn't trade them for the world.


I know I don't write very long chapters, but I'm trying to work on it. Please follow, favorite, and criticism is how I become a better writer. Just don't be to mean.
