A woman walked down the street cradling something to her chest. She looked alarmed at every movement which oocured by her. It was raining heavily and the pitch black sky was covered with clouds with few stars peering through.
The woman walked up to someone's house and knocked on the door. A few moments later a woman with ginger hair and a man with brunette hair opened the door. Their eyes widened at the sight and they instantly ushered the woman in.
"River what are you doing here?" Her father, Rory asked.
"It's an emergency their coming for me"
"Who are?" Her mum, Amy asked.
The bundle in Rivers arms moved.
"River what have you got?"
She moved the blanket which covered the bundle to reveal a small baby with sprouts of brunette hair. She had gorgeous forest green eyes and squirmed about in Rivers arms.
"River i-is she yours?" Rory asked.
"Mine and The Doctors, yes"
"What's her name?"
"Adalia a name I chose for The Doctor. In Gallifreyan it means strong hearted and brave. Adalia Maerdy Pond"
"Can I hold her?"
River nodded and handed the child over to Amy who cradled her.
"She's got The Doctors eyes" Rory commented.
"I need you to take her and raise her because Stormcage are coming for me and they'll take Adalia. I don't want that"
"Why can't The Doctor take her?" Amy asked.
"He doesn't know that she exists"
"River! Why haven't you told him?" Rory asked.
"She was born a few weeks ago, I haven't had the time to tell him. Look if he comes tell him about her and if he doesn't tell Adalia about him. Tell her about her wonderful father who's a madman in a blue box. Tell her about how her father has saved civilisations and planets with billions of people on. Tell her that her father loves her"
"River you can't just up and leave! Me and Rory aren't prepared for this! When's her birthday? Is she a Timelord? Does she grow differently?"
"Her birthday is on the 22nd August, yes she is a Timelord. Her growth will be complex, she'll grow like a normal child only her knowledge is more superior and advanced. Even at her age now she is learning to speak"
River pulled her Vortex Manipulator out and planted a kiss on Adalia.
"Good-bye my love"
And with that she disappeared.
Adalia watched through her window at the night sky. She could name each star and planet that she saw in her sight and she found her knowledge amazing. She was only 5 but already had the knowledge of an advanced astrologer.
"Adalia dear, time for bed"
Grandma Amy entered the room and Adalia climbed into the bed. Her Grandma sat beside her and kissed her forehead.
"Tell me a story of daddy"
This had been a regular occurence, each night Adalia would ask for a story that either involved her father or mother.
"There was this one time when..."
