I don't own Doctor Who. I just like to write things.

Okay you guys. I just started typing and this came out...then I read it and I feel horrible for doing it...But my rule is when I write oneshots, no edits, no backspaces, AND I have to post them. SO. Go ahead and read, hate me, review it with reviews full of swears and hates. I can take it! I also deserve it.

SORRY.

The sun was setting as they strolled down the beach, hand in hand.

He stopped walking and pulled her in to kiss her.

Their lips met softly.

Her arms wrapped around his neck and his around her slender waist.

Then, all hell broke loose.

The water erupted with soldiers in black suits and eye patches and more came out of the trees, quickly surrounding them before they could react and taking what they came for.

Her.

She screamed as one soldier knocked him over the head and four others held her back, pulling her with them back into the trees.

She fought with all her strength.

"DOCTOR! DOCTOR! HELP!"

The Doctor awoke alone lying on the sand with a throbbing headache.

Faintly he could hear someone yelling.

"Doctor! Doctor! Please!"

"RIVER!"

He jumped to his feet and raced into the forest after the sounds of his frightened wife.

There was a bang and then silence.

He could no longer hear her screams.

He had no way to find her.

Panic creeping into his mind, the Doctor turned back the way he had come and ran faster than he had ever run before.

Back to the TARDIS.

"Hold on, River. I'm coming for you!"

River was forced into a cold metal chair and strapped in, painfully.

Her captors then retreated, leaving only two to guard the entrance to the room.

She looked around, trying to think of some way this could be a dream.

Nothing.

She heard footsteps approaching the room.

The footsteps of her nightmares.

Fear filled her, nearly causing her to stop breathing as the woman in black entered the room.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Melody Pond." the woman spat.

River said nothing, just glared up at her.

This woman was responsible for years of torture and brainwashing.

Kovarian.

"You there, take off her restraints. Leave us. I need to have a little chat with my dear daughter."

River burst into laughter.

"Daughter? I hardly think kidnapping and torturing an infant throughout her entire life is grounds for that sort of claim. I have a mother. And she's not you." she spat, massaging her chaffed wrists as the guards retreated, closing the door behind them.

That made Kovarian angry.

She slapped River as hard as she could.

River tumbled out of the chair and onto the floor.

"You dare to speak to me that way?"

She said nothing, wiping the blood off her face and standing.

Kovarian watched her, expecting a reply but not getting one.

"You know, Melody, you're not playing your cards very well. It's not wise to be an enemy of the Silence."

River huffed, "Better than being one of them. What do you want?"

She smiled, wickedly.

"An answer."

River raised an eyebrow.

"Where is the fob watch?"

River was confused.

"Sorry, what?"

"The Doctor's fob watch. Where. Is. It." she repeated, threateningly.

River shook her head.

"I have no idea." she leaned forward, staring Kovarian in the eyes, "And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you."

Kovarian looked amused.

"Alright then, you leave me no choice."

She turned on her heels and approached an intercom on the wall.

"Send him in." she said into the mic.

River's gut clenched. She knew who was coming. The torturer. The man who had done numberless unmentionable things to her growing up.

The door opened and he entered.

He was huge. He had enormous muscles and a sneer of pure evil. There was not a caring bone in his body. He would show no mercy.

When his gaze met hers, he grinned.

"'ello, there. Been a long time, then, 'asn't it?" His voice was deep and mean. He wasn't glad to see her for old time's sake. This man lived for one thing only; hurting people. All he was glad for was the chance to beat someone today.

Kovarian smiled and laughed at the fear in River's eyes.

"Just get me answers. No half-way jobs. I don't want the Doctor. I want the watch. You have four hours."

River forced herself not to start shaking. He was going to kill her.

"If she knows anything, she'll tell me." he said menacingly, beginning to walk towards her.

"Ta, Melody! I never had the stomach for this sort of thing...Oh well. I'm sure you two will have a lovely time." Kovarian said cheerfully as she walked out the door, shutting out the world.

"Come on, Sexy! Find her! Find her! They have her! They're going to hurt her!"

The Doctor was flying about the console, trying everything he could think of that might help him find River.

The TARDIS groaned and wheezed as she worked as well.

She loved her River.

A dinging noise sounded and the Doctor shouted in triumph.

"Ah ha! We've got her! Come on. Let's get her!"

"Doctor? What are you off about this time?"

"Amy! Rory! Oh, dear. I nearly forgot you were here...Um...Well, I don't really have time to explain right now so," he threw a lever and the TARDIS materialized outside their home in Leadworth, "Off you go."

"Oi, we're not going anywhere!" Amy said.

The panicked state the Doctor was in caused him to immediately resort to anger.

"Amelia Pond, you get out of this ship right now. I don't have time for arguments. People are dying and you two need to be gone. Go." he ordered. "NOW."

Amy looked genuinely frightened of him for a moment.

Without another word, they both walked out the door and the Doctor sent the TARDIS back into the vortex, tracing the signal of his River.

River crashed to the ground again, crying out in pain as she hit the cement floor.

"I'm not goin' ta be nice no more. You best be tellin' me where it's at."

River scooted away from him. They had been at this for about an hour. She was bleeding from multiple cuts and she had bruises everywhere.

She wanted to cry but refrained.

"I told you, I don't know where it is. I've never even seen it before."

He angrily stalked up to her and grabbed her by the collar of her shirt, lifting her off the ground and slamming her roughly into the wall.

"Some'ow I don' believe you. I wonder why that could be, eh?" he said quietly, inches from her face.

Suddenly, he whipped her around and threw her into the metal chair.

"Now, I ain't playin' nice no more, poppet."

River was dying inside. There was so much pain already. She didn't think she could handle a worse beating than he had already given her.

Maybe if he was angry enough, he'd make a mistake...

She thought quickly.

"Yeah? Well I suppose your mum taught you how to do that? What's she, then? A wanted criminal? Or did she already have her head off over teaching you how to treat people?" River threw at him.

His eyes darkened. It was working.

"You leave me mum out o' this, lass. You'll be regrettin' those words."

"No, I don't think I will. Because it's probably the truth. Was your mum a drunk then?"

He'd had enough.

He shouted and threw her to the ground, more forcefully than ever before, nearly causing her to go unconscious.

Then came the beating.

He kicked her over and over until she had been backed into the corner and pulled his razor strap off his belt.

"No one talks about me mum that way." he snarled as he raised the strap.

The TARDIS landed in the middle of a hallway.

The Doctor stepped out and pulled out his sonic, immediately scanning for River.

Finding her signal, he raced off through the maze of corridors.

River pulled herself across the floor and behind the chair, desperately trying to get away from him.

"There's nowhere for ya to run. You'll tell me where it is. And you'll pay for talkin' bad about my mum, you little..."

River saw an opening and took it. She executed a perfect leg sweep, knocking him to the floor.

Instantly she was on top of him, wrestling the strap out of his hands and then leaping away as his fists began flying.

Her blood was all over the room.

She staggered to the door and desperately tried to open it as he began again to his feet, even angrier.

He'd try to get the razor strap back from her. She'd pay for taking it away from him if he got it back. She looked for a place to put it out of his reach.

There! The light fixture.

Aiming quickly and carefully, she tossed it up into the air, landing it safely into the light cover over 15 feet above their heads.

He glared fiercely at her and she backed her way around the perimeter of the room.

She had no way out.

He ran at her and scooped her below her middle, flinging her the length of the room before she even had time to catch her breath.

She gasped and tried to get up, knowing far worse would happen if he got her while she was still on the ground.

River had managed to make it to her hands and knees when it hit.

Excruciating pain erupted through her middle, like someone had stuck in several corkscrews and then twisted them all over her insides.

She cried out, letting tears fall for the first time and wrapping her arms around her midsection. She rolled around on the floor in agony. When she opened her eyes, she was confused to see him still on the other side of the room.

If he was over there, what had caused this pain?

She didn't have much time to think about it, though. He quickly snapped out of his confusion and started towards her again, convinced she was faking.

She felt his foot on her throat, pressing down until she could barely breath.

The end of the hallway!

The door wasn't guarded. Something was terribly wrong.

River was in there, alright. But wouldn't they keep her under more security?

Unless...

The Doctor's eyes widened as he opened the door and took in the room.

There was blood everywhere.

River was on the floor, bleeding and obviously in agony.

A large man was standing over her, angrily, with a foot on her throat.

"OI!" the Doctor shouted, blood boiling. "Get the HELL away from my wife!"

The man looked up at him and laughed, taking his foot off her throat and then, to ensure she wouldn't be messing around, he slammed his foot into her stomach.

River cried out again and rolled into a ball, tears poured down her face.

"No! Doctor, go! Please just...just..." River coughed severely. "Just get out of here! Quickly before..."

That was the end of what she could say. The man grabbed her by the hair and pulled her to her feet.

River squeeked.

"I don' know 'bout you, poppet, but I'm nearly sure this bloke was addressin' me, not you. Shove off." he snarled before tossing her into the chair behind him.

River nearly fainted. She hurt so badly. She knew she'd lost a lot of blood. Evidence of that was all over the room. Drag marks, splatters...it was a mess.

The Doctor watched her, his eyes asking her if she would be fine until they could get out.

River shut her eyes and gave him a slight nod.

Then, he rounded on the man.

"Just who do you think you are?"

"Who am I, he says! You're pretty thick, you know tha'? I'm the 'Igh Lady's muscle man." He laughed. I'm doin' my job. Now, if you don' mind, I'd best be back to my work."

He pulled a gun and pointed it at the Doctor.

River knew what was coming next. With barely enough time to react, she gathered her strength and leaped at the man, knocking the gun and causing him to misfire and drop the gun before she crashed to the ground, groaning and rolling onto her side.

"River?" the Doctor said.

"Shut up. Just stay alive, you idiot." she said pulling herself up with one hand, the other wrapped around her stomach.

The man was recovering from the shock of River's attack quickly and eyed the gun.

They all raced for it.

River and the man reached the it an instant before the Doctor. They all wrestled on the floor for it. It was in all of their hands. The man had it, River was on top of him, hands over his, and the Doctor on her, hands also on the gun.

They wrestled for a few seconds.

A shot fired and they all froze.

The Doctor couldn't determine who pulled the trigger or who was shot.

Slowly, he lifted himself off of River and checked himself.

Nothing.

Then, knowing River was already in a great deal of pain, he carefully placed a hand on each shoulder.

She flinched but accepted his help and crawled off the man. There was a blood pool on the ground under him.

The Doctor kicked the gun to the other side of the room and then inspected the man.

There was something off...something completely obvious that he was missing, he could feel it.

He realized what it was in the same instant River collapsed.

The bullet hole was on the wrong side.

"RIVER! NO!"

He flipped her over, gently.

There.

The bullet had gone strait through the man and lodged itself in River's steal belt buckle. It was lodged in there. She wasn't shot! It didn't go into her.

The Doctor took off her belt and gathered her into his arms.

"River. River, can you hear me?" he said softly.

She made a little noise in reply, barely audible.

"River you've got to hold on. You're going to be fine. I am so sorry, love...I'm so sorry. I love you so much, River..." the Doctor was sobbing into her hair as he held her.

"Doctor?" she said, faintly.

"Yes?"

Her eye's teared up.

"I love you, too. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. I'm sorry...Don't be angry with me, please."

"Why on Earth would I be angry with you, River? You're an angel. You did nothing wrong. I'm not angry with you." he comforted.

"Doctor, before...On the beach. I was going to tell you that..." Her voice was barely a whisper and her breaths were shallow as she tried to suck in air to speak. "Well...I..."

Suddenly she cried out an curled into a ball on her side, holding her stomach as if someone was trying to carve it out.

"River?" the Doctor brushed a stray curl out of her face and stroked her hair. "River, what's happened?"

"He...I..." her breaths were shallow and she stopped a minute to take in air.

"River..."

"I...I'm so sorry.." she began sobbing into her hands.

"River tell me what it is..." he demanded, worried about her.

"I...He didn't know...Not that it would make much of a difference...He's awful. It would have ended up the same or worse, I guess. I..."

Another pain wave hit and she groaned in agony and pressed her face into his shirt.

Still tucked into his chest and crying, she said, "I think I've just had a miscarriage."

Time stopped.

"What? You're pregnant?" The Doctor nearly choked.

"Well I don't know. I was pregnant. Before I came here, I mean. On the beach and everything...They captured me before I could tell you...But now...All this..."

The Doctor looked around the room at all the blood, then down at his wife, covered in blood, cuts, and bruises.

She started to have a coughing fit. As she pulled her hand away from her mouth, it was covered in more blood.

"I'm so sorry, my love..." she started sobbing again.

It was dripping out the sides of her mouth and her eyes began to droop. She was becoming weaker. She'd already lost a lot of blood.

He picked her up gently in his arms and rushed out of the room, back towards the TARDIS.

Just as he reached it, alarms began sounding. They must have found the dead man in the room.

He snapped his fingers and entered, snapping the doors shut again behind him as he rushed River to the couch.

He raced around the console, throwing levers and pressing buttons, even putting on the stabilizers and taking off the brakes, for River's sake.

As they disappeared into the vortex, the Doctor returned to River's side.

She was fading quickly.

He picked her up and carried her into the sickbay, laying her on one of the beds and pulling out his sonic.

"Computer! For Chen's sake HURRY UP!"

The screen at River's side turned on and began to scan River, assessing her injuries.

As the list of severe injuries on the screen got longer and longer, the Doctor began to cry.

"Oh, River. How could I have let this happen to you?"

She reached for his hand and gave it a squeeze.

"It's not your fault, love. It'll be alright. I'm still here."

They held their breaths as the computer finished up.

"Computer scan complete. Repairs may take up to an hour and may not result in full recovery. Survival chance is 99%. Full recovery chance is 98%. Fetal heartbeat is detected. Do you wish to begin repairs?" the computer announced.

"YES!" they shouted in unison.

Smiling widely at each other.

The Doctor brushed her cheek with his thumb and kissed her as she shut her eyes and fell asleep, a small smile still on her beautiful face as the computer began to repair her injuries.

Oh the adventures they had.

Every day was new and amazing.

Every day was exciting and dangerous.

Some days no one was harmed.

Some days someone nearly died.

But one thing was for sure.

No matter what the day brought, every day they had each other.

And now, they could start a new adventure.
