Chapter 2

Hey sweeties! Here's chapter two! River's big speech in there, I just made that up. Please tell me if it sounds okay! :)

April 6th

After yet another night of glorious sex with the Doctor, River woke on her own accord this morning.

The sun peeked through the curtains above their bed and she figured they must still be in the solar system. She grunted and stretched her arm to where the Doctor should be, only to find he was not there. She figured she better go find him. River sat up, however, when she did, a wave of nausea hit her like a ton of bricks.

She quickly got on her feet and ran to the master bathroom where she emptied her stomach into the toilet. The Doctor heard her when coming by to wake her up, and as she heaved, he held her wild morning curls back for her oh so gently.

"Are you alright River?" He sounded concerned.

She lifted her head up to see his face. She swallowed, although her throat was extremely scratchy. "Yes Doctor, I believe so".

"Why did you-" The Doctor did not quite know how to phrase the remaining part of the sentence. Instead, he motioned toward the toilet.

"I do not know. We did try that new place on Venus last night. That probably just made me sick."

"Well I'll go get you some water River." He hopped up off his knees and left her sitting by the toilet, leaning against the pale yellow wall.

If that place made me sick, wouldn't it have already manifested itself before now? Probably not. She thought, reassuring herself. But dear Gallifrey that was awful. She had not been sick like that since she got food poisoning as a child.

The Doctor returned with a full glass of water and eagerly handed it to his slightly nauseous wife. River took it graciously, mouthed 'thank you', and happily sipped some. She began to feel more nausea come on, so she stopped and set the glass aside.

"I think you need to take it easy today River. We'll both stay in the TARDIS and relax all day" He said, fingering the necklaces hanging from River's jewelry rack. He turned and greeted her with a smile.

"I suppose so." She sighed. She could feel a growing sinus headache, so she grabbed her forehead and gently massaged it.

"Anyways, I better get back to the console, since you're feeling better" He started toward the door."why not-"

"Doctor wait." Her tone made him stop dead in his tracks. He spun on his heels to face his wife.

"Yes Honey?" He stepped back into the bathroom and leaned against the doorway.

"May I speak with you?" Her voice started to crack.

"Why, yes of course." He knelt beside her, "What's wrong?"

She had not even begun to speak and could already feel the tears from fear of rejection coming on. "I wanted to know... Sweetie we've been married for two years now, almost three, and I think we are mature enough as a couple now..." She stopped to swallow back the tears. "What I'm trying to say here is I would like to, you know, have a baby with you." The Doctor was slightly taken aback by this, and it showed on his face. River took one look at him, and the tears started. The thought of him denying her one true request was heartbreaking and caused her to weep. The Doctor started hushing her, placed her in his lap, and took her face in his hands. He wiped her eyes free of tears for her.

"Now why is River Song, the woman who single-handedly took down the Silence, crying over such a trivial request to ask me? Tell me darling." Searching her eyes for an answer, She continued to sob.

"Because," she sniffled, "I just feel so lonely Doctor. Not that you don't keep me busy enough, It's just I've been longing to become a mom lately. To show some little child the ways of the world. To have that moment every woman dreams of when she holds her newborn child for the first time. To watch him or her grow up, hate us, and then come back saying they were wrong and did in fact need us. Most importantly, for you to love him or her more than anything else in the universe, including me, Doctor." She stopped crying at this point, and rested her head on his chest, listening to his hearts beat.

This brought a tear to the Doctor's eye, which he quickly wiped away before she noticed. He had thought about having a child with River, he just never bothered to mention it to her. He would love to become a dad, and would love to see her pregnant. He had always loved kids, so why not have one of his own?

"Yes" He hoarsely whispered

"What?" River raised her head and looked into his eyes.

"The answer is yes, River Song. I'd love to have a baby with you. It'd be nice to have a little time lord or lady running around, maybe even more than one."

Those words made River want to do backflips if she already wasn't so uncoordinated and, in her current state, nauseous. She hugged his neck tightly and he stood up, taking her in his arms with her.

"But you need rest now Doctor Song. Once you are well rested, we will begin our trials eh?"

"I'm all yours Sweetie" she said kissing him gently as he took her over and laid her down on the bed.

Reviews are like Christmas music, they make me warm and fuzzy inside! Kiss Kiss!
