The Doctor just held the sleeping River close. Not only was she probably suffering from regeneration sickness she had regenerated into a new body from almost nothing. This River being here in his arms with a new body all of this is unexpected and extraordinary. He just clung to her tightly afraid that at any moment he would wake up and she would still be dead and he would still be alone.

Slowly River started to wake up. All she could tell is that someone was squeezing her tightly and not letting go. She didn't know where she was, who was holding her, or how she got there. River squirmed her way out of The Doctors arms and pinned him to the floor with her knee. Then she looked down at the Doctor who just was laying limply under her and she remembered what had happened. Quickly she scrambled off of him and just sat next to him trying to keep covered using his coat. slowly the Doctor sat up and looked at River. she felt guilty for pinning him down and he looked hurt. She pulled her knees up to her chest for the comfort and closed her eyes.

The doctor smiled and cupped her cheek in his hand. "River its okay. I'm not hurt its fine."

Slowly she opened her eyes "Your not angry with me?"

At this point the doctor laughed slightly "I'm never angry with you. You mean everything to me River. And you know what? You are never leaving again. New face no criminal record nothing. Just you and me and our big blue box. Running off to see the universe together. That work? No more of you sitting in jail. No more of us only being together at night. River I'll always forgive you." Then he leaned over and kissed her forehead.

River smiled slightly "Thank you sweetie. I would very much like that. Um... Whats your thoughts on my new regeneration?"

The Doctor hugged her close "your beautiful like always. But you also are naked." He said warmly."But I'm not complaining."

River smiled. "I'll go get dressed." Slowly she stood up.

He held one of her hands in both of his holding her there. "You don't have to if you don't want to. I'm perfectly happy just staying here with you." He said looking up at her begging her not to leave still afraid that this is all just a dream.

She smiled down at him. "But sweetie I need to get dressed. Or is there something wrong with me leaving?"

Slowly he looked away. "You can go get dressed. It's just..." he trails off.

"It's what?" she kneels down in front of him.

"For some reason I'm afraid that this is just a dream and that I'm going to wake up and you will still be dead and I'll be all alone" he said face turned away from River.

"doctor" river turned his face to hers. "Am I really that unbelievable?" she leaned in closely. "I can just leave if you want."

"NO! I... I mean please don't go" he looked scared.

"I'm not going to leave." She leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips. "I won't leave if you don't want me to." River hugged him tightly "I'm not leaving you."

"you promise?" he asked hugging her back.

"Yes. I promise that I won't leave you." River calmly stroked his hair. "But I do need to get dressed."

"Can I at least come with you?" then he noticed how wrong that sounded. "Wait that's not what I meant!" River started laughing. "What's so funny?"

"you. I'm fine with you fallowing me." River slowly stood up offering her hand to The Doctor. "You can fallow me as long as I can fallow you when I want."

He smiled taking her hand and standing up "deal."
