River sighed in a mixture of relief and concern as The Doctor started to finally stir from beside her . Her hearts raced and the blood in her veins pulsed franticly in fear of what she had just found out. What the hell was she going to tell him? How could of this possibly even happened? It just physically shouldn't be possible ! She bit her lip nervously as The Doctors eyelids finally lifted revealing his ancient , green eyes that she loved so much.
" Hello Sweetie. " Her voice quavered in pure fear of how he was going to react to what she had to tell him. " Feeling better? " She tried to smile but it turned out as a grimace.
The Doctors brow creased and his eyes seemed to deepen in intensity. " Yes much better thanks. Sleep. That's all I needed. " He said rather bluntly whilst fixing his look on her.
" Good. " River shifted from one foot to the other anxiously under his questioning glare.
The Doctor could immediately tell that something was off with River. Her voice was one to speak with clarity not to shake and there was something in her eyes that told him she was keeping yet another secret from him. She had kept secrets from him before in the past but that's because she had to for the sake of the foreknowledge being dangerous but now she had no excuse because they were married and completely linear. Neither of them should hold secrets from each other , it just wasn't healthy to base a marriage on lies and secrecy. Then another thought struck him , a horrifying thought. What if she was still angry at him for his behaviour yesterday? Yes that was probally it.
" River what's wrong ? " He asked with a voice laced thick with care and love for the beautiful woman by his side. River went to open her mouth but he stopped her before any words could escape her lips." And don't tell me nothing because I know you River and know that there's something bothering you , so just tell me." He looked at her apologetically. " Is it about yesterday? Are you still mad at me for what I said? "
River giggled at how guilty her husband looked before remembering just how serious the situation was. " Oh Doctor , I could never stay angry at you long. " She brushed a stray lock of his hair to the side and revelled in how silky it was.
" Then what's the matter? " He quizzed with a face that just screamed pour your inner most thoughts out to me.
She took a deep breath as apprehension filled her entire body and seemed to seal her lips shut , refusing to let her tell the truth to him . " Doctor what I'm about to say isn't easy so please don't get angry or go off on a pointless rambling session. Just listen to me. " He nodded in understanding. "Whilst you were asleep I scanned you to see what was making you so ill. "
He leaned forward slightly. " And what did you find? " He asked curiously .
River threw him a look that could kill. " What did I say about just listening. "
" Sorry. You were saying. " He squeaked.
River groaned in frustration as her brain drew to a blank and rendered to a total malfunction. " Perhaps I should just show you instead. " She held hand out to him which he gladly accepted and pulled him up to his feet. She let her eyes give him the once over and smiled at seeing The Doctor in a much better form than he was only mere hours ago . He seemed a lot steadier on his feet and his usual buoyancy was back in full swing but was still covered in dried sweat and sick . She couldn't help wondering , how long would his good health last with the dilemma he was in? His body was just not adapted to deal with this and what about The Doctors emotional state , would that go downhill as well if events played out as they were doing now?
The Doctor noticed Rivers nose crinkling up in concentration and squeezed her hand to try and comfort her. River immediately snapped out of her deep thoughts and looked up at him in surprise. " River it's ok. Whatever you have to show me I can handle it. "
" Oh my love if only I could believe that. " She shook her head and started slowly walking The Doctor over to the screen that still had the information of The Doctors body scan on it.
She abruptly stopped and pointed at the screen in silence. The Doctors jaw dropped comically as he took in the information on he screen printed in black and white proof and The image of a silhouette of himself with a red dot bleeping in his lower abdomen .
THE DOCTOR - FULL BODY SCAN:
SPECIES: TIMELORD
STATUS : STABLE , PREGNANT POSITIVE.
INFANT STATUS: STABLE. 100% TIMELORD.
After five whole minutes of The Doctor just staring blankly at the screen with his mouth agape and his eyes as wide as saucepans she waved a hand in front of his face but got no response. " Doctor … " She whispered in fear at the frigid and totally passive Doctor.
The Doctor let out a breath that he didn't know he'd been holding and as panic clutched hold of his hearts he started to back away from River and nearly stumbled backwards onto the floor. " Sweetie please calm down." River pleaded.
" I've got to go…. Erm stuff to do. Got to …. have a shower. " The Doctor mumbled and practically pelted it up the TARDIS stairs and down the many winding and twisting corridors until he found the furthest bathroom and slipped into it. He slammed the door shut and slid down onto the tiled flooring in utter decline . In that moment his defences that he'd built up over the years for himself came crashing down and he broke down into a fit of sobs.
River tinkered with the console casually. " Well that could of gone better. " She exhaled and decided that rather than go after him she'd let him have his thinking space. God knows , what was going through his mind right now?
The Doctor stripped off his filthy clothes and threw them to the floor in a rage. His head span as wave after wave of different emotions hit him . The biggest being fear. Fear that he was responsible for a life that hadn't even really started yet . Fear that it was only another person for him to lose. Fear of what River now thought of him. Fear that she'd leave him because of the whole oddity of the situation. He himself already considered himself as a freak of nature. How had this even occurred? It shouldn't be possible yet here he was.
Stepping into the shower he turned on the water and let his tense muscles relax under the steaming hot water. He bent back his neck and indulged in his hair and body getting fully soaked and the crud that he was covered in slowly washing away. Subconsciously he let a hand slide to his still flat waistline and he couldn't help but let a small smile tug at the corners of his mouth. This child was impossible but so were he and River. Perhaps it didn't matter how it had come about. Perhaps he and River should just be thankful for the miracle that had occurred. The miracle that was their child.
