Okay sorry for the wait but here's the next chapter. A fairly short one and enjoy!
*8 Weeks*
River lifted herself off of the cold tile floor from her place next to the toilet. Yet another half hour of throwing up. Her morning sickness today was the worst it had been in the past two weeks, this was the fourth time it had happened this afternoon alone. She grabbed her toothbrush and proceeded to scrub her mouth of the awful taste.
The Doctor swung on the swing underneath the console fiddling with various wires. Sparks flew across the room just as River marched into the control room. She stomped down towards The Doctor.
"What are you doing?" She almost shouted.
"I'm fiddling with wires, try to do an upgrade."
"Why are you always under the console?"
The Doctor turned towards her, slightly confused and almost definitely scared at his wife's rage. He had no idea where this was coming from.
"I just spent another half an hour throwing up and where were you?"
"I didn't know. You didn't call me."
"I shouldn't have to!"
"If you don't call me or I'm not in the same room as you how am I supposed to know?"
River paused and glared at him.
"Shut up!"
She marched up the two flights of stairs and into the depths of the TARDIS. The Doctor sat silently in the swing thinking over their argument. He knew this was River's hormones and she couldn't help it but he couldn't help but feel slightly hurt. Of course they bicker a lot but normally it's over nothing and is resolved in no time at all. He moved off of the swing and followed her path to try and comfort his wife.
The Doctor moved through the various rooms of the TARDIS searching for a pregnant, hormonal human-Time Lord hybrid. He eventually found her curled up under the covers in their bedroom. Soft sobs could be heard from the woman shaped lump under the duvet. He crept towards the bed and slowly sat down on the edge.
"River? Are you alright?"
"No! Go away!" The lump continued to sob and sniff.
He got up and moved towards the door. The best thing to do at the moment was to leave her be, he thought. River pushed the cover away from her face and watched her husband walk towards the door.
"I'm sorry." She sniffed.
The Doctor turned to see River's messy hair and bright red puffy eyes. He retraced his steps and sat on the edge of the bed for a second time. River shifted closer to him and wrapped her arms around his torso. He returned the hug and gently kissed her temple.
"It's okay."
"No it's not. I've been horrible to you all day and you've just taken it."
"You're hormonal. It's to be expected."
He smoothed his hand up and down her back attempting to calm her.
"How about we go and choose a nice coffee shop and get some drinks?"
River nodded, unwrapped her arms from her husband and climbed off of the bed. The Doctor stood and took her hand. The couple walked together towards the console room, yet another argument solved.
As usual thank you for your continued support and tips and suggestions are welcome. I've looked at your comments and suggestions so far and have taken them into consideration and will most likely address them in later chapters.
