The TARDIS made quick work of the walk back by connecting the medical bay directly to the kitchen. The Doctor smiled as he mentally thanked his blue box. He couldn't help but grin foolishly as he watched his pregnant fiancé walk next to him. He rubbed his thumb gently over her knuckles receiving a loving smile from River as she looked up at him. She stopped suddenly and yanked his hand towards her stomach. Placing it above her naval. "What? What happened?" The Doctor asked thrown slightly off balance. He was now at eye level with River's stomach…with his child. "Shhh…do you feel her?" River whispered looking down at him. He looked up confused until he felt a slight push against his palm. He slowly turned his head towards his hand. His mouth open lightly, as another push was felt. He fell to his knees, as an open mouthed smile spread to his ears. He placed his other hand adjacent to the existing one and waited. Again the light push was felt against his palms. A breathless gasp escaped his mouth as he looked up at River. Joyful tears leaked from the corner of his eyes. The push was there again. River smiled down at him while gently thumbing away his tears. "She's….she's…brilliant" he whispered before kissing River's stomach where his daughter was kicking. "I think she's hungry…but brilliant works too" River laughed. The Doctor looked up at her again, fear set in his features. "I'm being slow again! I have to feed you both! What am I oing?" He smacked his palm against his forehead then stood up. "Oh sweetie…" River cooed pulling his head down to kiss the spot he just wacked, "it's ok. Let's just eat." He nodded then feathered her lips with his.

He escorted River to the nearest chair, kissing her forehead and her round belly before heading towards the fridge. "What are my girls in the mood for as of the moment?" He threw River a smile over his shoulder as he opened the cabinets. "Well my love…I was hoping that the TARDIS could just whip up a few things…you know…quick…easy….safe" she muttered the last part not wanting to harm his feelings. He stopped searching and crossed the room back to where she sat. "I can cook!" he said proudly with a broad brow. River bit her lip to quiet a building laugh. "Oh sweetie…yes you can cook…but not everything you cook…is well….uh….edible" she winced knowing there was no better way of saying this. His jaw dropped. He quickly folded his arms over his chest and stomped his foot. River shook her head knowing her daughter would likely fall right into her father's footsteps in no time. She'd soon be a mother of two! She slowly stood, having to grab hold of the table to push herself up. The Doctor quickly dropped his arms and helped is rounded love up. Taking her hand in his and supporting her lower back with his other he helped her stand.

She looked up at him with a thankful smile and he smiled in return. How could he be angry over such a small thing? He, this him, had just missed out on 8 months of growth and development and morning sickness and foot rubs and ultrasounds and giddy new parent preparation…he didn't want to miss another moment due to his childish sulking. "I'm sorry" he said wrapping his arms around River's waist as she opened her mouth to speak. "Whatever you want…it's all yours. Just say the word." She smiled up at him and laced her arms loosely around his neck. "I love you" River breathed pulling his head closer to hers. "I love you" he whispered, his lips brushing against hers before covering them completely.

They finally settled with a menu and waited for the TARDIS to do her work. "So…fish fingers and custard…and Oreo covered pizza?" The Doctor asked a little surprised at the combination his fiancé had come up with. "Well our little Time Lord seems to have inherited her father's eating habits…and is forcing her poor Mum to enjoy it as well" River explained as she watched the Doctor lean forward from the chair next to her to trace Gallifreyan symbols into her stomach. "I think she likes that..." River noted touching her stomach gently, "she's very active as of right now." The Doctor looked up at her with excitement lighting up his eyes. "What does it feel like?...To…you?" He asked unsure how to phrase the question. "Do you want to see?" River answered extending her hands so they were hovering beside his face. He nodded. She gently pulled his face up to hers. He slowly leaned his forehead against hers and then it hit him.
