Chapter Eight: Pregnancy
3months later
"Doctor, I'm pregnant"
The Doctor choked on his tea.
"Whoa sorry, are you okay?"
The Doctor cleared his throat, "no I'm fine, just a bit of a surprise that's all…"
"You hate it don't you?"
"No, of course not!" The Doctor spluttered looking up at Amy, who was standing with her arms crossed, giving him a bit of a death glare "it's just a surprise like I said, bit soon though maybe? You've only been married to Rory for about a year-ish, at least I think it's that long, I'm not very good with linear time."
"Well yeah but it wasn't exactly planned" Amy took a seat in the kitchen opposite The Doctor
"Well where is the daddy to be then?"
"Well that's the thing;" Amy winced "I haven't told him yet"
The Doctor choked again, "Amy, I'm your best friend granted but I think you should probably tell Rory some point soon. And I'll probably end up telling Rose, even if it is accidentally, and then he'll be out of the know, horrible position to be in really."
"Well Rose already knows, I told her first"
"Oh so now he is out of the know, and why didn't Rose tell me?!"
"Because doctor, she has more control over her gob than you" Amy said rolling her eyes "and I am going to tell Rory, just not yet, because if I tell him then he won't- we can't…"
"You can't come on any more adventures."
"Yeah that" Amy looked down sadly "I don't want to go." She said
"Hey that won't be a problem, we can just go to nice places for now, and then you can have your baby on earth an you know me and Rose will come and visit, it'll be fun, a little domestic family"
"But I don't want to be a domestic family, and I don't want 'nice places' I like adventuring and running and doctor," Amy was crying now "I'm not ready to be a mum"
"Wipe those tears away Amelia pond, of course you're ready. You're the most red-headed ready person I know. You will make a fantastic mother okay? I promise you that. And for as long as you like, we can adventure, and when you want to stop, Rose and I will always support your decision. We love you Amy, and so does Rory so you should tell him"
Amy sniffed and wiped her eyes, "okay, but when he announces it you and Rose have to act surprised okay?" The Doctor just grinned and promised they would, letting Amy get up to go and find Rory.
He went back to drinking his tea when Rose walked in,
"Doctor I think I might be pregnant"
The Doctor choked on his tea again and Rose started hysterical laughter, as she sat down next to him, patting him on the back, "I'm just kidding you moron," she said "I saw you with Amy and thought I'd play a little joke on you."
"Honestly, first Amy tells me she's pregnant and then you are you trying to make my hearts stop! I can barely deal with Amy being actually pregnant than you pretending to be!"
"Amy's pregnant?"
No-one had noticed Rory standing in the doorway. Then Amy came out from behind him and glared at The Doctor. The Doctor and Rose looked at each other and The Doctor stood up awkwardly saying "is she? I hardly noticed congratulations Rory!" and patting him on the back. Rose and Amy both just face palmed, The Doctor really was a total twat.
Rory turned to Amy, who just nodded slowly and he then proceeded to faint and collapse in a crumpled heap on the floor.
"Nice one doctor," said Rose "no kissing for the rest of the day, your being reprimanded" she pushed him slightly in the chest.
"Oh really, do I get off early for good behaviour?" The Doctor asked in a definitely not-innocent way, as he nipped at Rose's lip. Rose reluctantly pushed him away before she ended up just snogging him right there. The Doctor sighed inwardly; he always just felt the need to be so flirty in this regeneration all the time. In his tenth it was all very touchy feely, especially with Rose. He always felt the need to hang onto her hand, or give her lingering hugs or cuddle with her in the library whilst they both read. When she left him he felt empty, he had no one to cuddle with. It would've been much to awkward with Martha, what with her being in love with him, and donna it would've been like cuddling your sister for too long, just weird.
Yet in this regeneration, his eleventh he was very much into physical contact, but not as much as in the way he was in his tenth. He was always flirting and making innuendo, even when he didn't realise it; after all Amy had tried to seduce him that one time, so he must have been giving off some kind of signal or something. Rose had noticed this too, he remembered one time when they had just gotten back together when she had met him in the corridor, ready for a new adventure.
He took a step back to admire her appearance; god how was she always so beautiful in whatever she wore? It was very unfortunate for him. He sighed
"Rose do you have to wear that top?" he had asked
"I like this top, why? Don't you?"
"Oh it's definitely not that I don't like it. It's just too flimsy," he took a step closer, and fingered the neckline "much too low cut, very very distracting," he was practically whispering in her ear by this point. He felt her shudder slightly, and then she stepped back and stared at him.
"You're always so flirty in this regeneration doctor," she said dismissively, waving off the doctors intentions. The Doctor just laughed and kissed her on the cheek, "can't blame a time lord for trying"
He was pulled out of his thought train by Amy complaining, "Honestly doctor, you never stop do you? Now help me wake up Rory" she had straddled Rory and was waving her had in front of his face, Rose was kneeling next to them, the Doctor rooted around in his pockets until he found a small tube and pulled it out.
"What's that?" Amy asked
"Xglorphian smelling salts, very powerful" he waved them in front of Rory's face for about a second, and he instantly woke up. He winced slightly, rubbing his head. Then he looked around,
"Definitely not a dream then, you definitely are pregnant?"
"Yeah"
"Amy that's fantastic, I just wish you would've told me first, I am a nurse after all."
"Sorry Rory" she smiled and then they began kissing.
"ugh." The Doctor snorted, "don't rub it in just because I'm not allowed to kiss or be kissed" he pouted. Rose smiled and walked up to him, "I think maybe we can negotiate some parole" she said, giving him that tongue-in-teeth grin and then kissing him. He smiled against her lips; this was why he was so flirty, because Rose knew exactly how to counter it.
