Chapter 4: Too Good To Be True
River eventually decided on something to wear and made her way back to the control room where The Doctor stood waiting for her. She wore a pair sheer tights and a light blue cotton dress, which highlighted her attractive curves. "Ready? He asked and she nodded in reply. He clicked a few buttons and adjusted some levers and then they were off.
"You better put the not leave the brakes on" She told him. The Doctor sulked like a child being told off.
"But I like the sound" he protested. "We've had this argument before" he continued.
"The sound is a great sound, it stays!" he exclaimed.
"How about we have a vote" River suggested and smiled.
"Vote what vote?" The Doctor asked confused.
"Err...That's two to one" River replied, grinning looking up at the console from the corner of her eye.
"What? No! That's not fair! "How could you Sexy!" The Doctor protested.
"What did you just call her?" River half gasped.
"Nothing." The Doctor replied very badly trying to lie.
"Sexy." River spoke. "You called her sexy!" she laughed.
"And what?" The Doctor defended himself. "Are you jealous?" he smirked.
"Jealous!" River laughed. "No. Not at all, actually quite the opposite!" River laughed again.
"Amused" she spoke.
"Amused?" The Doctor repeated confused.
"You just called my 'mother' Sexy" she chuckled. "Child of the TARDIS and all" she spoke.
The Doctor thought for a moment, he'd never thought of it that way. River smiled and half laughed looking at her Doctor considering her comment. She kissed him on the cheek, bringing him back to here and now.
"Fish and chip shop planet?" She asked.
"Yes" he replied. "Yes, righty ho, let's go." And so River 'landed' the TARDIS and off they went.
The two had a wonderful time and River watched in awe at her husband as he babbled on about the different species of fish and how he'd invented fish batter too early. She thought about how impossible it seemed to be with him right now. Her husband was with her and they were actually having breakfast together for once. She didn't care if it was breakfast or breakfast lunch, they main thing was that there she was sitting next to him, standing next to him, talking to him.
She realised she hadn't stayed with him this long. A night, a morning and it was slowly transforming into an afternoon. He hadn't left her. She'd been too afraid to imagine days like this, she thought they were be too good to be true but now she knew it were possible she wanted it never to end.
A normal life was something River had never even thought to consider. A Doctor life was something she dreamed of and here it was coming true. Although it was, River scolded herself to stop hoping too much and tried to tell herself that things could go wrong any minute. That's what it was like with The Doctor; you never knew what would happen.
