Circle of Life

Lebo M, CarmenTwillie

Normal life ran in a pretty regular circle. You're born, you fall in love, you have kids, those kids fall in love and have kids of their own and you die.

But Time Lords aren't quite normal. River Song and her Doctor weren't quite normal. The Ponds were certainly not normal.

But yet, they were, weren't they?

They moved through all the basic moments and flourished besides them and all the extra hardships.

They were part of the greater cogs of life and held more power over the overall happenings than most, and at the same time they were quite normal.

Mother and father.

Daughter.

Son-in-Law.

So maybe the daughter grew up alongside her parents.

So maybe the daughter met the parents before they even knew they loved each other.

So what if they named their daughter after herself and the same daughter went on to marry the man she killed after he was brought back to life by her?

And did it really matter that mother and father both died in their 80s before either reached puberty?

No family is quite perfect in the end, is it? But that's life for you.
