A/N- Hi everyone! This is my second story so yay for that! Anyway, this story comes from a lunchtime geek conversation about River and a rocket launcher. So this starts out sort of around that image. For you, Kaytie Bee!

Don't Doubt Her

The Doctor knew something was wrong as soon as he stepped out of the TARDIS. The small village he had landed in had an aura of unrest that he easily felt. Adjusting his bowtie, he set off to find the cause of the disruption. After walking about four blocks, he came to the only stone building in the village.

He heard it before he felt it, and he felt it before he saw it. He heard a loud BOOM, he then felt a shockwave, and then he saw one of the beautiful stained glass windows explode in a fireball of flame and broken glass. As the smoke started to clear, the Doctor saw a figure. 'Oh, Rassilon,' he thought. He already knew who it was.

River Song, in all her glory, stood in the burnt and mangled window frame. She wore the same dress from when she had last regenerated, and hefted on her shoulder… was a duo-rocket launcher. "Hello Sweetie!" she said saucily. The Doctor's facial expressions flashed quickly, from surprise, to joy, to sadness. He looked at the burnt and burning buildings surrounding the stone building. He slowly swiveled his head back to River, his expression one of pure anger and hatred.

His true self.

"What the hell have you DONE?" he screamed at her. The smug expression left her face in an instant. "What have I done? I just got here! I know as much as you do! Besides, I would never so something like this!" Suspicious relief flooded the Doctor's face. "Do you have any remote idea what happened? And where is everyone?" River slipped the launcher off of her shoulder and jumped down to stand in front of the Doctor. A few feet separated them. "I honestly don't know. My vortex manipulator took me to that hill over there and I got here just as the city blew up in flames. I ran down to check on anyone, and saw my rocket launcher and picked it up. I didn't hear anything except everything burning. I came in here to see if anyone was still here. And then I heard the TARDIS materialize. Then you showed up." She smiled and poked him lightly in the chest. He smiled and caught her hand as she pulled it away. His expression softened then. "It's been a while." He paused, looking over his gorgeous wife. "How did you get out of Stormcage? I usually have to come and get you." River chuckled lightly. "Sweetie, you know I can take care of myself! Perfectly we-.." The Doctor had stopped her by pulling her so that her face was inches from his.

"Come with me. I know you 'killed' me, but as the victim, I forgive you. Come with me and never see a rainy day ever again. I'm lonely and I want to be able to look at your beautiful face when I wake up in the morning, and not every few months. Help me, River."

She stepped back a few paces. Her face held so many expressions. Happiness, bewilderment, but most of all, sad denial. The Doctor was concerned for her, and frankly, he was scared. "I can't. You know that. It would mess up our timelines. I want to, believe me…" She looked at her feet, tears threatening to fall. She was jerked up be the Doctor. "You can't leave me again, River! Every minute I'm not with you I feel like I want to die! Please…" He was shaking her shoulders and wore an expression and of pure, frantic desperation. "Please…" His face was softening into one of loss and his grip on her shoulders loosened. A moment later, he dropped to his knees in front of River. Bowing his head, he began to weep.

River had never seen him break like this before break like this before. And she absolutely hated it. "Hey," she spoke as calming and soothingly as possible. "I'm here. We have to take advantage of the times we have together. You think that I don't wish that you were with me in prison? I'm just as lonely as you are! You get to see so many different things, while all I get to do is look out into a storm and out into a damn hallway 24/7!" The Doctor looked up at her then. His tear stained face matched hers as she finished speaking. She turned around and scratched something into the dusty ground behind her. She then stood, and turned around to face him, and she began to cry again. She lifted the wrist with her vortex manipulator on it. "I'm so sorry!" she sobbed. She pressed a button and disappeared into a cloud of smoke and electricity. He bowed his head.
