Chapter 14
A/N
I am so sorry about how slow I am at updating-college is hard! The good thing is that I'm writing ahead, so if I haven't updated this in over a week feel free to give me a nudge!
Reviews and prompts welcome,

"Wow!" Clara exclaimed when they exited the Tardis.
The planet Agata had a pink sky with orange earth, and the Tardis was parked just outside the entrance to the theme park- "The Agata World Of Adventures."
"It's quite pretty." River approved.
"Mama!" Aurora called to her mother.
"Come here." She smiled, lifting her daughter out of the buggy. "D'you like it, sweetheart?"
Aurora babbled happily at her mum, and gave her a big grin.
"I'll take that as a yes then." River chuckled.
"It's massive!" Said the Doctor. "We won't possibly be able to go on every ride today."
"You'll just have to come and visit again then, won't you?" Said Clara.
"Don't encourage him, he's childish enough as it is." River warned.
"You love me really." Said the Doctor, standing next to his wife.
"I suppose." She replied, kissing him.
"Sorry to interrupt, but have you got any money?" Clara asked.
The Doctor scowled at his companion. "Of course I have, in a way." He produced his psychic paper.
"Pfft." River rolled her eyes. "I'll let it drop, just this once."
The Doctor showed the psychic paper to an attendant, who let them all in.
"Right, first off, teacups with the twins." River said, spotting a ride. "It's only fair."
"I'll look after the buggy, then." Clara muttered, a scowl on her face.
"I'll go on a rollercoaster with you later." The Doctor promised, lifting Oscar out of the buggy.
The couple made their way onto the ride, along with the twins.
"Enjoying yourself?" River asked her husband.
"Yeah, teacup rides are cool!" He replied enthusiastically.
"Cool!" the twins echoed in unison, making their parents laugh.
A while later...
"I feel a bit dizzy." River muttered as Clara helped her off a rollercoaster and onto solid ground. The adults had been on a fair few rides, with always one looking after Oscar and Aurora-River wasn't too fond of rollercoasters, though.
"I don't think that you should go on any more." The other woman said, a hand on River's back.
"River?" The Doctor frowned when he spotted his wife. He was sat on a bench near a drop ride, the twins in their buggy next to him.
"Rollercoasters don't agree with her." Clara explained as the Doctor held River close.
He chuckled. "You can fight the Silence yet you can't manage a simple rollercoaster?"
At this, River scowled and slapped him. "Ow!" He protested.
"It's not funny!" River growled as Aurora began to cry. She picked her daughter up and rocked her gently.
Clara chuckled. "How about the drop ride, Doctor?"
He gulped. "Okay."
His wife chuckled at this. "Then we'll see who's scared of rides."
He scowled at her, but kissed her all the same. "I love you, I suppose."
"Ditto, Sweetie."
Surprisingly, the Doctor coped well with the drop ride and didn't feel sick afterwards, a contrast to River Song.
"I'm sure that you two enjoyed it, but I am sure that I wouldn't. Anyway, who would look after the twins?" River said to Clara-she and the Doctor were trying to persuade her to go on the ride with them.
"Fair point." Clara nodded as Oscar yawned.
The Doctor looked at his watch. "The twins are getting tired, it's almost five o'clock. Home?"
"Okay, that sounds like a good idea." His wife agreed.
"Yeah, I have some stuff to do when I get home." Clara nodded.
They exited the theme park and got back to the Tardis.
"I'll feed the twins and put them down for a nap-didn't you give them some bottled milk about an hour ago?" River asked her husband.
"Yes, and they had some at lunchtime too." Said the Doctor, who was at the central console, along with Clara who was checking the scanner.
"Okay." She nodded. "See you later."
A couple of hours later...
The Doctor made his way into the nursery to see River, who was singing a lullaby in Gallifreyan to Oscar and Aurora.
He stood at the doorway until River was finished. She then kissed each of them on the forehead, and turned to see her husband.
The Doctor walked over to her, and stood next to his wife. They gazed at the little lives before them.
"It's been over a year since they were born and I still can't believe that they're ours." Said the Doctor softly, slipping an arm around River's waist.
"I know what you mean." River nodded.
"Good night, little ones." The Doctor whispered to the twins, a smile on his face. Together, he and his wife made their way out of the nursery and into their own room next to it.
"Today was good." Said River, sitting down on the bed and taking her shoes off.
"Hm, I still can't believe that you don't like rollercoasters." The Doctor chuckled, sitting next to her. "I'm hungry." He stated.
"Still not funny. Me too, actually." She agreed. "I'll go and make us something to eat, thankfully Sexy always keeps her cupboards stocked."
