Blimey it's been ages! I don't really have an excuse for not updates, 'cept cur-sed writers block! :| Anyway, I is back! So hope you enjoys! :) x
Amy tugged on Rory sleeve, indicating that they should leave them alone to talk. Rory realised what his wife was meaning and slowly the couple made their way out of the room. The couple made their way back to the Tardis to check up on their, hopefully, sleeping daughter.
"Sweetie calm down." River said to Alix.
"Calm, you expect me to be calm. I've just been told by the person who I believed to be my friend that she's my mother and a man who, to be honest, I barely know that he's my father. How do you expect me to be calm? And if I really am your daughter then how, prey tell, am I doing this? As neither of you are Xavion!" Alix spluttered, trying to hard to keep the tears at bay. After venting out her anger her hair died down, returning to its usual state. This is when River enveloped her in a hug. The Doctor thought he'd explain. "If you really are our daughter then you've got Timelord DNA. As I'm a Timelord and River is partially Timelord, meaning well, your 3 quarters Timelord. Anyway, Timelords assimilate their behavioural and developmental patterns from their environment during their first 10 years of living. And well you grew up on Xavier." The Doctor explained. Alix nodded.
"So I act like them." Alix finished. There was a moment silence between the trio.
It wasn't an awkward silence; it was a silence where each person contemplated. River of her not too distant future, having a child with the Doctor, but the fear of not watching her grow up. Doctor of his distant future, his relationship with River, how little Melody asleep in the Tardis turns into the person who is River Song and how much he'll see her. Alix thought of her past, all those times she had felt out of place, different; the times when she would notice the differences between her and her `parents`. It all makes sense now. She thought.
There thoughts were cut short by a piecing scream. "AMY!" The Doctor yelled and ran in the direction the Ponds had gone in. Alix close behind.
They ran into the throne room, where Rory was slumped next to the Tardis cradling Melody in his arms. "Doctor, Amy's gone. Someone's taken her." Rory said his voice full of anguish and care. The Doctor whipped out his sonic and scanned the area.
"Okay, simple teleportation. Easily traceable. Don't worry we'll get her back." The Doctor said. Rory nodded, Melody started to whimper. Rory kissed his daughter on the forehead and rocked her gently back and forth. This is when Alix noticed that River had disappeared.
"Err... Doctor, where's err... River?" Alix said, not sure what call them after the recent revelation. "Jumped out of here. Too risky for her to be in the same room as Melody." The Doctor explained.
"Wait, River is Melody?" Alix asked shocked.
"Ah yes, never got round to that. Alix meet your mother minus a few years." The Doctor said.
"Just a few." Alix joked. The Doctor grinned.
"Come on, though let's go and save Pond." The Doctor said cheerfully and ran into the Tardis, quickly followed by Rory and Alix.
Standing in the console room, Alix and the Doctor were left alone as Rory put Melody back to bed. "Err... Doctor, how is this?" Alix said gesturing to the inside of the console room.
"Rassilon I forgot, it's your first time in here. Alix, Tardis, Tardis, Alix and how well it's all very confusing sciency stuff that simply involves pulling the outside around another dimension." The Doctor said, stroking the console.
"Okay... I get it... I think." Alix said. They both laughed.
"Alix, you knowing seeing as you are my daughter and well I'm your Dad. You can if you like, it's obviously totally up to you, but if you wanted to you could, well, call me, ummm... Dad..." The Doctor stuttered nervously. Alix smiled and then enveloped the Doctor in a hug.
"I take that as a..." The Doctor begun.
"It's a yes... Dad." Alix said. The Doctor's heart melted.
Rory walked back into the console room to see the Doctor and Alix hugging. He smiled, but then cleared his throat because they really needed to get a move on. "Yep, right." The Doctor said, untangling himself from the hug. He then started dancing around the console, pressing buttons, flicking switches. Getting the Tardis ready for flight.
"Hold on it's gonna be a bumpy ride." The Doctor said. Alix gave him a strange look, which was mirrored by Rory. "I am not going to be saying that again. But I really suggest you hold on!" The Doctor said and flicked the yellow lever which blasted the Tardis into flight. "GERONIMOOOOO!"
Ta-da, I know it doesn't really have much action but it gets better... promise! Btw if your wondering I stole the Doctor's mishap from Harry Potter! That head thing is sooooo cool! ;) 1st to review get a sneak peek at the next chapter! :) x
