Chapter 3: What? WHAT?

"Daddy." Axelia says again, nodding to herself. Amy gapes at the Doctor, her gaze going from him, to Axelia, then back again.

"What did she just call you?" Amy asks the Doctor

"I believe she called me 'Daddy'." He replies simply

"So you're her father?"

"Not that I know of. I think I'd remember these types of things."

"Then why'd she call you 'Daddy'?"

"I have no idea."

"So…then did her real parents leave her here?"

"Maybe…I'm not exactly sure, apparently her parents gave her that sonic."

"Should we look around?" Amy asks. The Doctor nods

"We probably should." So Amy heads out of the TARDIS and looks around outside for anyone that could possibly be the parents of the child. Amy sighs to herself, she couldn't find anyone that even looked like Axelia, then the Doctor comes out, wearing a 'baby suspender'. (A/N: I don't know what they're called. Those baby carrying things that you wear on the front of your body…Sjanni would know right?) Amy gives him a shocked and slightly disgusted look

"What is that?" She asks, blinking. The Doctor looks down, confused, at what he was wearing and at the slightly annoyed Axelia he was carrying around in it.

"What?" He asks "Isn't this what all human fathers wear for transporting their young?" Amy shakes her head and chuckles

"Oh, Doctor…" she sighs again "Come on, let's find her parents."

"Right." The three walk down the English streets, the rain letting up now so they didn't have to shelter themselves. Axelia whimpers occasionally, feeling uncomfortable in that baby carrying thing. Amy and the Doctor stop other people in the street asking if a child had gone missing or if Axelia looked familiar. No luck.

"Well. What now?" Amy asks as they continue down the street

"I'm not sure. I do know that we need to find someone to look after her. We can't take her with us, it's too dangerous." The Doctor replies with a sigh, though he said that, the Doctor wouldn't mind having Axelia around, she'd definitely be a cheerful change on their adventures. But it was just too much work.

Suddenly a shocking explosion burst out, two shops down from where the three companions were. They immediately ran to the scene. As they stare at the exploded ruins in shock, a figure stumbles out, coughing spluttering, waving their hand in front of their face, trying to dispel the smoke. The figure steps out onto the street, in front of Amy and the Doctor, both whose eyes widen as they see who the figure is. Axelia giggles happily.

"Well, that went better than expected." The figure says as she proudly looks up to the gaping people in front of her, she catches sight of the Doctor and grins "Hello sweetie."

"Hello, River." The Doctor replies. River spots the baby, still uncomfortably pouting in the carrier.

"Who's this adorable girl?" River coos, stepping closer, the Doctor steps back awkwardly

"Um…she's…" The Doctor stumbles for an explanation, luckily, or maybe not-so-luckily, Axelia decides to speak up for him and reaches back to pat the Doctors face before turning back to River

"Daddy." Axelia declares in her soprano, baby voice. River's eyebrows raise in amused questioning.

"Oh?" She asks, Axelia giggles then points at River

"Meddy!" She laughs, then claps her little hands. River tenses, the Doctor and Amy look at Axelia, confused.

"Did she just call me 'Mummy'?" River laughs, but the sound is somewhat nervous

"Actually I think she said something like—" The Doctor tries to say, but he is cut off by River

"She did, didn't she?" River laughs happily, then she frowns in thought "So I'm her mummy and you're her daddy, Doctor?" The Doctor tries to say something, but words seem to fail him

"Uh…well…"

"Oh, yeah, I think I remember that night…" Amy smirks at the Doctor at River's comment, the Doctor is really at loss of words now. River looks at her wrist. "Oh! Well, look at the time! I have much to do!" She grins coyly at the Doctor "Don't worry, sweetie, I'll be seeing you…" Then she taps Axelia's nose "…and our daughter very soon." And with that, River walks off with her usual badass-ess. (A/N: River is badass. You can't deny it. :P)

Axelia giggles and then looks up at her Daddy. Amy sighs and the also looks at the Doctor

"So! What now?" Amy asks, putting her hands in her pockets, the Doctor looks sadly at the baby he is carrying

"We go back to the TARDIS…"

"Great!"

"But we leave Axelia here." The Doctor finishes, Amy frowns

"What?" No response from the Doctor "No! Doctor, we can't just leave her, she has no one to look after her!" Amy shouts at him

"Amy, what do you expect me to do? We can't take her in the TARDIS with us, it's too dangerous for her and I don't have the time to look after a baby." The Doctor replies exasperatedly. Amy frowns

"So you're just going to leave her?"

"I don't really have a choice, Amy." The Doctor begins to walk back to the TARDIS. Amy hurries to follow him. The two walk in silence back to the TARDIS, except for the occasional whimper from Axelia. When they return to the blue box, the Doctor takes off the baby-carrier-thing and hands Axelia to Amy, then heads in side and soon comes back out with the impromptu bed that they found the baby girl in. He sets it down outside the door of the TARDIS and takes Axelia from Amy and places the whimpering baby in it. He wraps the blankets around her

Axelia starts to cry now and reaches for the Doctor "I'm sorry, but I can't take you with me. I'm not your daddy." And with that, he heads into the TARDIS to prepare for the next adventure. Amy kneels down next to the sobbing girl and strokes her head

"I'm sorry, sweetie…" She says, the wraps the blankets more firmly around Axelia "There, nice and warm. I'm sure someone will find you and take care of you. You just stay strong till then, okay?" Something strikes Axelia in those words and she cries harder. Amy strokes her head and tries to soothe her.

"Amy? Come on! We're going!" The Doctor calls from inside. Amy stands up and looks back into the TARDIS, where the Doctor is hitting buttons and pulling levers, and then she turns to glance again at the crying baby girl.

"Sorry…" And Amy leaves Axelia and heads into the TARDIS. The Doctor walks over to Amy and begins to close the door…

Thunk

The sound of an object jamming directly into the door catches Amy and the Doctor's attention, in the door, a dagger is neatly lodged, which then prevents the door from closing. The Doctor and Amy share a confused look, before they open the door again to find Axelia, still where they left her, but now she isn't crying any more, she's glaring angrily, and holding another little knife in her tiny fists. Amy stares at the baby in shock.

"You're not going to let us leave, are you?" The Doctor asks, bending down so he can look at the angry child in the eyes "Why exactly are you, Axelia?" The baby tilts her head and giggles "Hmmm…I suppose that's true…" The Doctor mumbles

"What's true?" Amy asks, her arms folded

"That her telling me wouldn't be much fun. She one likes her games." Axelia gurgles again

"What'd she say this time?"

"…that children can be quite demanding when it comes to their games…" The Doctor stares at the giggling baby "You're no baby, Axelia." She baby just smiles back. The Doctor stands,

"Right, fine. You win."

"What?" Amy asks, frowning

"She…Axelia can come with us…" The Doctor mutters. Amy beams at him then swoops down and scoops up Axelia and holds her up to her face and smiles at her

"You hear that? You can come with us!" Amy coos to the child, who giggles again in response

"But you have to take care of her, Amy!" The Doctor shouts, jabbing a finger in her direction

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. You just can't admit you have a soft side, can you, Doctor? The Doctor Daddy. Has ring to it." Amy laughs

"I'm not her—Oh fine." Doctor mutters

"I'm sorry, what was that?"

"I said I guess I can be her daddy." Amy chuckles and carries Axelia into the TARDIS along with her blankets.

The baby grins in triumph.

Damn! Finally done! YAY!

ENJOY!
