A/N: This had always bothered me, somewhat, about Amy's character. Soooooo, here is my reconciliation with it in their relationship.
Granted
Amelia Pond takes things for granted.
It doesn't matter if that thing is her husband's life or her own, her child, or the Doctor's numerous abilities. Oh, she appreciates it, she does. She gushes and stares wide-eyed at the universe and it does not even look back towards his beloved Pond. She laughs at rituals that are thousands of years old (it doesn't matter how funny their dancing is, the Doctor tries to explain), plucks flowers from the earth that grew by a miracle in the harsh environment, and throws around his random collection of money like it's unlimited (he supposes that it is...). She adores everything he offers her, but she takes it for granted, nonetheless, because she is practically a child. She thinks beauty should exist everywhere, and that it is hers to cherish. The Doctor knows that both of these thoughts are false.
But it is why he has chosen her, this blind child, because there are others- like himself- who feel the weight of the world in their hands and drop its heavy, fiery glow, who cannot handle it.
Amelia Pond cups it in her hands like a firefly, plans to store its wonder in a jar to light her room at night, and the Doctor knows he loves her.
