Chapter 1: Guess What
"Guess who's going to be a father again?" River sang. The Doctor looked down and realized what the object he held was. A pregnancy test that read positive. He looked from River to the test and back.
"You're pregnant?!" The Doctor's face lit up at the thought of it.
"Yes sweetie." River smiled. The Doctor took out his sonic and scanned her, confirming it for himself. She was, in fact, pregnant. After safely placing his sonic back into his coat, The Doctor dropped the box and the test he still held in his hand to envelop River in a tight hug. He kissed her head and started laughing.
"How far along Riv?" He asked curiously, looking down at her.
"Two months. It's our reward for those Easter shenanigans I suppose." She smiled knowingly and the Doctor began to blush. He grabbed her face and kissed her, making her moan softly into his mouth.
"Well you know I get to name this one right?" He smirked and she rolled her eyes.
"You can believe that if you wish, but, in the end, It's my decision what the child's name is." She gave him a kiss that was intended to be chaste until the Doctor decided to extend it to be another long, deep kiss. His hands moved from her shoulders down to her waist. River ran her hands through his brown hair and settled them at his neck. When he ended the kiss, his smile was bright and his eyes full of joy. He let out an excited giggle and ran over to the console.
"And what exactly do you think you are doing?" River smiled, walking over and leaning her back on his, head turned toward his right shoulder.
"Going to see your parents to pick Zalea up and we can tell them the news." He turned his head towards hers, almost touching her cheek.
"Mm I'd love nothing more sweetie." She smirked, moving to lean her back against the console.
"I wonder how little River is going to take it." The Doctor chuckled, landing the TARDIS. River walked over towards the door, however, the Doctor cut her off and held open the door.
"Ladies first!" He bowed slightly, arm extending parallel to the door. River laughed and stepped onto the concrete sidewalk in the Pond's backyard. Amy had a special spot in the garden put in for the TARDIS, mainly because the Doctor kept landing on her daisies. They walked hand in hand to the Pond's backdoor and knocked. The glass door slid open, revealing Rory with Azalea holding onto his leg.
"Ah Doctor, Melody, come right in! Azalea has been such a pleasure tonight." Rory waved in the direction of the living room and shut the door behind his daughter and son-in-law. Azalea jumped up and ran to her parents screaming 'Mummy! Daddy!' and practically tackling them.
"Hey Zalea! Are you ready to go home?" The Doctor asked, ruffling her thick curls. Azalea nodded furiously and tried to drag her dad off of the couch. She eventually gave up and sat between her parents on the couch, slouching and pouting.
"What has been up with you two tonight? You seemed awfully happy coming up the sidewalk..." Amy lowered her eyes and sipped her tea. The Doctor and River looked at each other. He motioned to River that she should be the one to tell them the news.
"Well I found out some exciting news this evening. Mum, Dad, I'm pregnant!" River clapped her hands together and the Doctor smiled again at the mention of it. Amy looked unmoved and Rory's eyes widened. Azalea sat in the middle of all this, looking from her parents to her grandparents, confused.
"Oh I knew that!" Amy set down her tea.
"You did?!" The Doctor and River said simultaneously.
"Of course! I noticed last time you came. You had that glow Zalea gave you again. I figured, but didn't want to freak you out like the first time." Amy shrugged and smiled, River staring confused. "Oh congratulations once again!" She got up and hugged her daughter. River looked over to her dad for his reaction.
"Dad?" River shot a look of confusion in her father's direction. He must have been daydreaming, because he shook his head and looked at River.
"Sorry I was just zoned out. Yes, congratulations River." Rory said, River eyeing him suspiciously.
"What's going on? I'm really confused!" Azalea said, all eyes suddenly on the four year old with light brown curly hair. The Doctor and River looked at each other, boh telling the other 'you explain it!' Eventually, River won, as usual. He lifted his daughter onto his lap and sat a hand on her back.
"Well your mum is having another baby! So you'll be a big sister! Isn't that exciting?" Azalea smiled widely, looking from her dad to her mum. Then she wore a face of confusion.
"Where is the baby then? I don't see one..." She put a finger to her chin, thinking about where her parents would hide a baby. Everyone started laughing and smiling at her childish innocence.
"Sweetie the baby is in here!" River scooted closer to her husband and daughter and put Azalea's hand on her stomach. "The baby won't be ready to meet you for quite sometime, but you can talk to her anytime you want!" Azalea gasped, crawled out of the Doctor's lap and put both hands on her mum's belly. She looked up at River with a grin identical to her father's.
"I'm going to be a sissy!" She said, turning to her grandparents, smiling. Rory put his arm around Amy and rubbed her arm as she smiled.
"Yes you are! And you'll be a brilliant one." Amy smiled, sipping her tea once more.
