She reread the screen a hundred times, made the TARDIS rescan. But it was true. River Song. Pregnant.


Slowly, River walked back to her and The Doctors room. He was still fast asleep. What would she do? Would she tell him or not? Well, she would have to at some point, he would notice after about 3 months wouldn't he? And also, she's part timelord. Wouldn't the baby be timelord a bit? Or maybe not at all? All these questions raced round her head, making her dizzy. Suddenly, everything went black.

River fainted, but luckily The Doctor had been watching her going paler than she was before (if that is possible), while pretending to be asleep. He dived out of bed and caught her just before she hit the floor. Something was very wrong with her, but he knew he should just let her rest for now.


"Doctor?" River croaked.

"Ah, your awake, honey. How are you feeling?" The Doctors face was full of concern.

"Not good at all. What happened?" She replied, barely able to speak.

"Well, you went off for a little midnight walk and when you came back you froze in the doorway and fainted. Or collapsed, should I say." He came over to her and planted a delicate kiss on her forehead.

All of a sudden Rivers mind started to dance again, remembering why she had gone for a midnight walk.

"River, is there something you want to tell me?" He knew she had visited the medical suite last night, but, bless the TARDIS, she had erased all records.

"Yes." She took a deep breath and began. "Doctor, I'm Pregnant." The Doctor simply stared at her. Or possibly right through her, she wasn't sure. Then he pulled her into a tight hug.

"That's wonderful" Was his reply.

"So you're not… well…" She didn't really know what she was going to say.

"I will always love you, and no one can change that. Now, there are a few things you should know. As your part timelord, you will probably have a timelord pregnancy. This has been proven by how ill you have been the last 3 weeks. Symptoms are much worse for timelords than humans. This morning sickness will last the best part of this pregnancy, you will probably have fainting spells at about 2 months until the birth and also at some point you will have severe fever and will most likely feel like death during that." He knew so much, and River wondered why, but didn't want to ask at this point.

"Doctor, I love you." River truly meant this.
