River walked down the hallways of the TARDIS, humming a soft lullaby. The floor was cold beneath her bare feet. She was in a good mood. Such a good mood she had even let her husband wear that ridiculous fez, and take them to the planet of cheese. She turned right. Heading into the dimly lit nursery. Still humming, she walked over to the crib, and placed the small sleeping child that layd in her arms, onto the soft padded surface. She kissed the baby's forehead and walked to the door.

"Oh my sweet baby boy." She stood just outside the door; finger on the light switch. "Daddy and I love you so much. You mean the universe to us." She then turned the light off, and walked back to the consul room. Still humming.

Pushing buttons and pulling levers; sending the TARDIS into the time vortex. She heard soft footsteps behind her. She knew who it was. A smile spred out across her face when his strong arms wrapped around her torso. She turned around in his arms, and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. The Doctor smiled brightly.

"I know you can do better than that." He chucked. Kissing her temple. River pulled back a little, turned around, then kissed him again.

Her hands laid on his shoulders while one of his were on her waist, and the other rubbing her back. She kissed him with more passion; pushing the tweed off his shoulders, not breaking the kiss. The Doctor let the jacket fall to the floor. She also undid his Bowtie, and knocked the fez off of his head. The Doctor picked up Rivet and sat her on the console panels.

Then, out of nowhere , came two loud thunderous cracks. The doctor stepped back from River so she couldn't reach him. He was in pain. He was shaking with it. His knees gave out from under him; causing him to fall to the floor. River jumped up off the console and knelt beside him. His breathing had stopped. She checked for two pulses. She couldn't even find a small faint one. Both hearts had stopped. She cupped his face with her hands. One of her tears rolled down her face and landed on his. Lifeless and pale.

"Sweetie...?" She shook her head. "You're not dead. Please open your eyes, speak, something! You can't be dead. You just can't be. We need you. The baby and I. You can't be dead..." She laid her head on his chest; wishing there would be his two wonderful heartbeats that would match hers perfectly.

"Well, well, well." River jumped up and looked at the blurry figure in the entrance doorway. She rubbed her eyes to get rid of the tears so she could see who it was. It can't be, River thought. But it was. Kovarian.

"It seems The Doctor has died... but this time for real. No tricks." Kovarian had a gun in her hand; aiming for River. RIver went to grab hers, but soon realized it wasn't there. Kovarian grew closer. "Poor Melody Pond lost her husband. Shall I even dare call him that. He wasn't really your husband. He never really loved you. He only married you to save the universe. And all of this around you," She used her free hand to point around the TARDIS, "is just to make your mummy and daddy happy. It made him look good. But that all ends here. If you think its the fairytale you finally got, check again. Fairytales aren't real. And now, this is where the Timelord race ends for good. The Doctor is already gone. Your next Melody... unless you would like the baby to go first." She smiled. All teeth. And her eyes were the darkest shade of black. It scared River.

"Don't you touch my son!" River shouted.

The baby started sceaming from down the hall. River tried to run for her child, but felt two strong hands clasp around her wrists and handcuffing them.

"Take me please! Don't hurt him! Im begging! Take me! Take me..." She lowered her head. It was against her power. She couldn't do anything to save her child.

"You're not what you used to be Melody. You're week. Pathetic. Unloved."

River looked up; Kovarian still had the gun pointed at her.

River had been staring into the face of death her entire life.

Kovarian pulled the trigger.

River's eyes flew open. She felt The Doctor's strong arms tighten around her as best as they could. Knowing she had woken up from a nightmare. He drew small circles on her stomach. They were words in Gallifrayen. But she was still to asleep to be able to tell what he was writing. Ever since he started sleeping with her in the same room again, she has felt much safer. She was getting better at not screaming or yelling when she woke up form a nightmare. She sat up and rested her head against the head bored. The Doctor did the same. He looked at her through loving eyes.

The lullaby river had been humming in her dream had been the same lullaby that had haunted her when she was growing up. the same tune over and over... but different words to haunt... It was only a dream. Kovarian had been dead for only only about half a month, but it still scared River. When Kovarian had heard the Doctor was still really alive she took matter into her own hands. She tried to break out of prison an find a new army to let control her. She wasn't even a foot out the prison door when a guard shot her.

But River couldn't help but feel there was still something wrong...

"River?" She shaped her attention back to the... present? Who knew what counted as present when you travel with the Doctor. "Did you hear me?" He grabbed River's hand and squeezed it.

"Uh, no. Sorry. I was thinking. What did you say?" She pulled the blankets up higher. The TARDIS was freezing and she didn't like it at all.

"I asked if you were ok?" He rubbed circles on the back of River's cold hand with his thumb.

She shivered. "Yeah I'm fine. Just a bit cold. Freezing my but off really. Doesn't the YARDIS have a heater?"

A smal impish smile appeared on The Doctor's face. "It did. I swear it did. Until-"

"You messed around with her wiring and made her pissed off."

"Exactly." He gave a funny smile that remind her of a picture of a younger version of him. He was so perfect to her.

River smiled. "Oh. So you're going to be cheeky no-OOOOOOW!" She gripped the Doctor's hand; her knuckles turning white. When the pain was gone she closed her eyes and tried to calm her breathing.

The Doctor sat up strait and pushed River's hair back from her face. "RIver are you ok?" He started to panic a little.

River let out a breath of air. "Yeah, I'm fine for now... I think. Just contractions. They hurt like bloody hell. We should be prepared though. I don't think the baby plans on being in here for much longer. The baby could come anytime."

"Do you want me to get Amy and Rory? I could call Martha if need be." The Doctor didn't know what he should do. He's never had to do this before. He was started to freak out and River could sense it.

River opened her eyes to look at her husband. "Stop freaking out. You're going to make me even more riled up and thats won't help if the baby does come. I should be fine for a little bit longer." She rubbed her belly through the blanket with her free hand. The baby was kicking and it made her happy.

The Doctor started to rub her belly too, but River stopped him. He pouted and whined before her realized what she was doing. She pulled the blankets down so they only covered her legs, and pulled up the Doctor's shirt she had used to sleep in. She then grabbed the Doctor's hand and placed it on the upper right where the baby was kicking. The Doctor smiled.

"I can't wait." He said; not looking away from her belly.

"Either can I," River said.

The Doctor leaned forward and kissed River's belly; making her giggle. He got a mischievous idea and smiled at River. Taking his hands, he started to gently tickle her sides. She started to laugh just more than a giggle. Then she laughed harder and harder every time he tickled her harder. She fell back so she was lying down; trying to grab the Doctor's hands to stop him. She couldn't grab a hold of his hands.

"Stop!" She yelled. She was out of breath and laughing to hard to get anymore than that out.

The Doctor kept tickling her. River tried to kick him away, but failed when the Doctor sat on top of her legs to stop her. She was laughing so hard that the Doctor couldn't help but laugh too. He stopped his tickling so River could breath. Still sitting on her legs, he grabbed her hands and locked his fingers with hers.

River glared at the Doctor. "Oh I hate you."

The Doctor smiled. "No you don't!" He leaned forward, kissed her belly, and climbed of her legs.

River sat back up and placed her hands on her bulging belly. "I guess you tickling me actually does help by dilating me so I'm closer to having the baby."

The Doctor scooted down to lay his head on Rivers's stomach, so he could listen to the baby. He smiled when he felt River start to play with his hair. "Yeah, I guess I did..."

River chuckled, and gave a flirty smile even though the Doctor couldn't see. "Amy told me there is another way that is so much more fun. But it requires staying in bed all day and maybe a little less clothes..." She smiled bigger. Still playing with the Doctors hair.

She could see his face grow a bit red from nervousness, but he was also smiling like an idiot. She knew he liked it.

Then her stomach growled and the moment was ruined.

"Sounds like someones hungry!" The Doctor exclaimed.

"Hmm. Looks like my little plan will have to wait till later." She laughed.

The Doctor kissed her belly, and sat up quickly. "How 'bout pancakes!" He put on a shirt and helped River out of the bed.

In the kitchen The Doctor pulled out all the ingredients while River got everything else. When River started to mix the dry ingredients together The Doctor turned on some music and leaned against the counter; watching River as she worked. He loved watching her work. He smiled to himself, but she couldn't see him, so he thought he would just watch her.

She was always to graceful and sweet. For once she almost looked fragile. But she only looked this way when she was in a caring and loving mood. Could he call this motherly now?

"Sweetie, wil you hand me the flour please?" River interrupted his train of thought. She was still facing away from him so she turned around when he hadn't responded.

The Doctor had his hands hidden behind his back with a mischievous smile on his face.

River arched an eyebrow in question. "May I have the flour please?"

Pulling his hand out from behind his back, the Doctor ran it down the side of River's face; smearing flour all over it. He just laughed at her.

This only started war.

River grabbed a pinch of flower and threw it at The Doctor. He then used the back of his hand to wipe the flower from his face.

From there on the threw flour at each other and danced and sang in the kitchen. They even waltzed, and swing danced and salsa danced. But it wasn't to long before they were out of breath and went back to making breakfast.

When River had gone to grab the whisk to mix the batter, The Doctor was aiming for it too and tripped. (Over his feet of course cause he's the Doctor.) And fell towards River. Catching himself before he landed on her, he caught himself on the counter. Making it that River was trapped by him, his arms, and the counter. They couldn't help but laugh more. The Doctor stood up and gently placed his hands on River's belly.

"I didn't hurt either of you did I?" he Frowned.

"No dear. You Didn't. But you should go shower. You're a mess." She giggled.

"You're right." The Doctor said looking down at himself. He then kissed River and smiled. "Just yell if you need anything."

"I will." She turned around and went back to her work.

The Doctor couldn't help but laugh and pat River on the butt. She gasped and rolled her eyes; Smiling to herself. But the smile faded when the painful contractions started up again.

They ate their breakfast with their feet hanging out the TARDIS door; watching the stars. The Doctor had talked to River (And her belly) and said how he couldn't wait for their child to be here so he could take it on adventures, and teach it how to fly the TARDIS. "But don't leave the brakes on. Mommy hates that. She gets upset. When mom nots happy no one is. Especially daddy." River rolled her eyes and giggled.

After breakfast, The Doctor helped River up and she went to their bedroom to take a shower. She caught sight of herself in the mirror and laughed at all the flour marks she had on her belly and the one hand mark on her stomach. Another wave if contractions hit her and she sat on the bed rubbing her belly.

"Sweetheart. Mommy loves you, but your hurting her. I wish you were here already." She stood up and got in the shower.

The contractions kept growing shorter together and more painful. River couldn't take it anymore. Rinsing her body off, she turned off the shower, wrapped her towel around her, threw her hair up into a bun, and sat down on the toilet seat; rubbing her belly and taking deep breaths. She sat for a few minutes before she stood up.

A puddle of water fell to the floor. But it wasn't water from her shower. There is no way she could possibly be that wet for a puddle that big.

Then a sharp pain hit the lower part of her belly and she tried to call for the Doctor. When she finally got his name out, he came running down the hall and burst into the bathroom.

"What! Are you ok!" He wrapped an arm around River as best as he could. And she wrapped her arm around his neck. The Other on her belly.

"I think the baby is coming." Tears filled her eyes as she looked at the Doctor.
