"Doctor River Song! You have some explaining to do!" His voice rang through the prison making her look up in surprise. She hadn't even heard the Tardis land—she always heard it, but she had been so engrossed about arguing with her guard about whether handcuffs were necessary for a trip to the shower.

"Doctor Song, it's protocol," replied the guard helplessly, looking half frightened as he stood in the doorway of her cell with handcuffs in his hands. All the guards were very aware of the infamous River Song and none of them wanted to meet her hallucinogenic lipstick. Before either River or the guard could say anything the Doctor came staggering into her cell with his hair in even more of a jumbled mess than usual. His bowtie was undone and one of his bracers was hanging haphazardly around his waist.

"Hello, I need to borrow her. Thanks. I'll bring her back….eventually," the Doctor flashed the guard a quick smile and grabbed River's wrist to begin pulling her out of her cell to the pure astonishment of the young guard.

"Hello, Sweetie," River greeted in amusement before sliding past the guard and out of her cell, "What happened to you?"

"You did," answered the Doctor awkwardly, but then he smiled excitedly at River.

"I'm going to…"but before he could finish he was interrupted by the guard.

"Stop right there!" The guard had suddenly came to his senses and raised his gun to point it straight at the Doctor and River who had almost made it to where the Tardis was parked. The Doctor rolled his eyes and let go of River.

"What is it with guns? Why do people always point guns at me? It really never is a good idea. I hate guns. Guns are rubbish and bad. Put that down. There is something very important I need to discuss with Doctor Song right now," he looked very annoyed as he said this to the guard, gesturing wildly with his arms. He was very impatient to get on with what he had to say.

"I'm sorry. I can't do that. Doctor Song is a prisoner here and I can't just let you take her," answered the guard sounding braver than he looked. He knew I wasn't a good idea to try to stop River from leaving prison, no one ever achieved it. She did as she pleased, but it was his job and, he had to do it.

"Well, she's my wife, so—I win." With that speech the Doctor pulled his sonic out of his trouser pocket and pointed it at the guard. There was a bang and a cascade of sparks from the gun then the Doctor put the sonic back into his pocket, turning his attention back to River. A broad grin broke upon his face and happiness sparked in his eyes.

"I'm going to be…." he began quite loudly. River knowingly smiled back at him, but she placed a finger over his lips.

"Shhhh," she instructed.

"What did you do to my gun?" demanded the guard looking shocked. The Doctor and River turned their attention back to the guard.

"Disabled it," was the Doctor's simple reply as he poked his head into the Tardis. Looking angry the guard ran to a large red button on the wall and slammed his fist down on it making lights begin to flash and sirens go off. River looked very annoyed as she stepped into the Tardis.

"Is all that really necessary? They'll never get here in time to catch me anyway" she informed the guard pointedly before slamming the Tardis doors.

"Hey, now, be nice to her. No slamming the doors. She's ancient," scolded the Doctor as River turned to look at him from where she was next to the doors. He had made his way up to the console where he was leaning casually. He'd straightened his appearance, so he no longer looked quite as much like he'd just rolled out of bed.

"Yes, she is," River gave a small smile and patted the railing where her hand was resting. Her eyes glazed over for a moment as she thought about the beauty of the Tardis, but she was interrupted by the Doctor who cleared his throat impatiently.

"Yes, dear?" River looked back up at him with a teasing smile on her face.

"Where are we?" he questioned quickly as he hopped down the stairs to where she was standing.

"After the wedding—I've seen you a few times already. The last time was two days ago when I told you something important," she answered with a wink.

"Me too, but I just saw you…" he blushed slightly as his voice trailed off and he pulled at his bowtie making River laugh outright.

"We're linear again," she declared looking quite pleased about it.

"River…."

"Yes?" she knew what was coming next and she almost couldn't bear waiting.

"I'm going to be a dad!" he nearly shouted this as he threw his arms in the air and looked at her with the happiest expression on his face she had ever seen.

"Yes, you are," she replied with a girlish laugh.

"How did I not even realize…" the smile suddenly disappeared from his face and he looked rather puzzled.

"Because you're thick," she murmured as she leaned up against him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Yeah, I am. Too much stuff in my brain," he muttered back as he touched his nose to hers. She smiled at him and placed a kiss on his lips before pulling away and leaning on the railing, waiting to see what he would say next.

"How far along?" he questioned next.

"I believe it's close to six weeks," she replied as fondness and worry mingled in her voice.

"A baby, River! A baby!" The Doctor just couldn't contain his excitement. He was running and spinning and hopping all around the console room because he couldn't think of any other way to vent his happiness.

"This calls for celebration! Let's go on an adventure! Where shall we go? Nowhere with rain, your prison makes me very not fond of rain….but there is this wonderful planet with purple sand that rains pink bubbles and when you pop one it giggles. Shall we go there, River? Or—oh we could go to the planet of the coffee shops….wait—I hate that planet. No, that's a bad idea. Shall we stop and get the Ponds…." he suddenly stopped talking and turned to River looking just a little horrified. She was looking very, very amused.

"Oh—The Ponds. Rory the Roman, and Amelia Pond—we have to tell them, don't we?" he asked nervously all his previous excitement suddenly drained.

"Yes, dear, they are my parents, but let's not tell them yet; not until we know…nothing's going to happen," answered River, carefully picking her words.

"Happen? What could happen?"

"I just don't want to get them excited and then…." she stopped talking and looked away from the Doctor. There were so many worries flowing through her mind. There had been since she had discovered she was pregnant. If this had been a more normal circumstance she probably would have just let herself be happy about it, but there were so many things that could go wrong. A Timelord baby, nearly full Timelord, being carried by a half-human woman who couldn't keep herself from getting tangled up in messes and gun fights no matter how hard she tried. Something was bound to go wrong and she was just waiting for the day it would.

"River, everything is going to be fine. It's going to be more than fine. We're having a baby," the Doctor said to her encouragingly. She gave him a half smile and a small nod.

"Let's just wait to tell them, okay?" she asked and he quickly agreed.

"We'll wait." Then the smile spread across his face once more and he began skipping and whirring around the console pushing buttons and pulling levers. He spun a dial here and typed something in there until the Tardis gave a great lurch and they were souring through the Time Vortex.

"Where are we going?" asked River curiously as she tried to peak at the scanner, but he tugged it away from her.

"Ah ah. It's a surprise!"
