Chapter 2 – A Deed Not Done
They hit the cold and dirty floor hard and heard the heavy cell door they had just been violently pushed through, shut. River, having landed on just her hands and knees, winced in pain as she sat up and inspected the harsh grazes, without warning her right hand was yanked down as next to her, the Doctor pushed himself up to a sitting position.
"What is it about you," he said with a slight huff, "and getting arrested?" River opened her mouth to reply, but he cut in, "Oh don't tell me, 'spoilers'."
"Actually," River smiled, "I was going to say, don't forget handcuffs," She lifted their joined wrists to emphasise her point,
The Doctor chose to ignore her flirtatious smirk telling her instead, "I need my sonic, it's in the inside pocket of my jacket," he regretted this almost immediately as the smirk on River's face grew, but she didn't say anything, just reached into his pocket with her spare hand and pulled the sonic screwdriver from it, the Doctor snatched it from her hands and quickly aimed it at the handcuffs, a green light reflected off the alien metal and then the handcuffs fell to the floor with a clatter, "Oh good," he smiled, "I was hoping that would work."
River stood up and moved to the door, examining it carefully, "Do you have a plan?" she asked casually,
"Well," The Doctor started, "No."
"Of course you don't,"
The Doctor stood up and joined her at the door, running his screwdriver over it, "Deadlock seal," he muttered, "We'll be in here a while," He paused briefly before turning to River and smiling, "Which gives me the perfect opportunity to ask you,"
"You're not going to propose are you Sweetie, because this isn't really the time,"
"River," he backed her into the corner of the room, not enough to intimidate her, or make her feel trapped, but enough that she would have to answer his question, "Are you pregnant?"
River stared back at him, her usually so confident demeanour vanished and was replaced with fear, "Doctor," she breathed,
"It's alright," he murmured, brushing back her beautiful blonde hair and pressing a kiss to her forehead, "You make an excellent mother, I promise you,"
She raised a finger to his lips, "Spoilers," The Doctor let out a sigh, his eyes closing as he lent slightly forward against her finger,
"Spoilers," he agreed, "Oh River," he took her hand and kissed her fingers, then her lips, slowly and softly before pulling back and stepping away, walking from River and around their cell, "Right, escape, we need an escape route, a plan, I like plans, hmm…"
River smiled as the Doctor continued to babble to himself, pulling things from his pocket and examining them with his screwdriver, then moving around the walls touching them and sonic-ing them with a free determination. Subconsciously her hand moved over her stomach, she knew, as she watched this brilliant man, that their family would work out somehow and she felt strangely content.
