The Doctor looked up and caught her signalling with her eyes and the slightest of smiles. Oi, Timeboy, get over here.
With a quick glance around confirming they weren't being observed, he headed over to the secluded corner of the room where Donna was standing.
As soon as he reached her, she grabbed his arm and pulled him further into the shadows. He looked at her in anticipation.
"Yep", she said, popping the 'p', Doctor-style.
His eyes grew huge, and his hand that was resting easily on her hip, now moved across until it was over her stomach, his gaze flicking down, and then back up to her face.
"Really?" he whispered, his voice an octave higher than usual, his heart beats increasing at a rapid rate of knots.
"Really", she smiled warmly and lifted her hand to cup his cheek, rubbing her thumb gently across his skin. "You're gonna be a Daddy".
"I…we…" he stammered, overwhelmed and at a rare loss for words, "…..oh, this is just brilliant!" he finally managed, his face breaking into the widest grin she had ever seen even as the tears came, making his eyes shine even more brightly
"Settle down, then, you're gonna make me cry now" she gently admonished him ducking her head shyly for a moment.
"It's just….it's just…..I'm just so happy." His hands slid round her and pulled her closer. "You make me happy. More than I thought I would ever be again".
His unwavering gaze caused her to blush. She knew that look. He wanted to kiss her. Badly.
She drew him to her and time stood still as they gave themselves to each other anew, their slow-burn embrace unnoticed, the party swirling on around them.
