Chapter Twenty One
A couple of weeks later, Tahliah had been called to do godmother duty. The Doctor was still fast asleep when she got up and everyone apart from Amy had gone out.
"So, when's your god daughter being dropped off?" Amy asked. Tahliah was about to answer when the doorbell went.
"That'll be them now!" she grinned as she got up to answer the door. Her friend Maria was standing there with her daughter settled on her hip.
"You sure about this hun?" Maria asked
"Of course!" Tahliah grinned as Maria handed her daughter Callie over and left her in the capable hands of Tahliah and Amy.
Tahliah walked over to Amy with the little girl on her hip. Amy smiled and waved to her.
Callie was only 3 years old. She had long blonde curly hair and bright blue eyes. She grinned and waved at Amy.
"Amy, this is Callie. Callie, say hi to Aunty Taliah's friend Amy"
"Hi Amy! Are you gonna pway with me and Aunty Tali?" Callie smiled sweetly as Tahliah sat her down on the sofa
"Sure!" Amy laughed.
Tahliah got out Callie's toys and they started to play
The Doctor stirred and rolled over in bed.
"Wow, I must have needed that sleep!" he muttered as he got ready and went to see where Tahliah was.
He walked into the living room to see toys everywhere and Tahliah swinging Callie round. Amy was laughing as the three year old squealed with joy.
"Ah, here you are!" he smiled. Tahliah put Callie down and the three year old hid behind her.
"Hey you, Callie, this is Aunty Tali's boyfriend, Doctor." She explained to the little girl, who came out tentatively and looked up at the Doctor.
"He has funny mad hair and funny clothes Aunty Tali. Is he nice? I not have a nasty man with my Aunty!"
Tahliah laughed and picked Callie up and took her over to the Doctor.
"Sure, he's awesome. He makes me very happy. But he is very silly"
"Hi Callie, I'm the Doctor. But call me Doctor, everyone else does! And how old are you?"
"I'm three and a half!" she grinned
"Wow, you're a big girl aren't you?!"
"Not as old as Mommy, she's almost as old as Aunty Tali, and that's old!"
Amy snorted with laughter.
"Well, I'm even older than Tali, so what does that make me?!" he joked
"Erm… really, really old!" Callie giggled
The Doctor a mock-shocked face and Callie burst into fits of giggles.
You're pretty awesome with kids you know
So are you. I can see why you're her Godmother
After a few hours of playing with Callie, Maria came and picked her up. The other's had arrived back and were playing games with her.
"You been good?" she asked her daughter, who nodded enthusiastically
"She's been brilliant, she really hit it off with the Doctor though. Dunno who's been the bigger kid!" Tahliah laughed
"I like him! He's funny! Can I come and play again Mommy?!" she asked sweetly
"I don't see why not!" Maria smiled
"Yeah! Doctor's gonna tell me more stories about his adventures!"
"Really? Well, we'll come back soon. Say bye to everyone!" Maria said
"Bye! Bye Doctor!" Callie waved as she left
"Someone has a fan!" Amy nudged the Doctor playfully. He grinned.
Later that day, Tahliah started feeling sick. The Doctor was helping Jack with something, but Amy noticed.
"Oi, you ok?" she asked quietly
"I'm not sure… I think I should use that scanner thing in the TARDIS…" Tahliah replied
"You want me to come with? Girly support?"
"Erm… yeah actually…"
They walked to the TARDIS, stopping every now and again as a wave of nausea washed over Tahliah. They got to the scanner and Tahliah set it up. It whirred and started scanning her.
"What do you think it is… oh… you're?" Amy said wide-eyed as the penny dropped
"I'm not sure, it's just, well, me and the Doctor well, you know, in his actual bedroom the other week. And well, there was glowing afterwards, literally… he said it was normal cos of the bonding and all that, but since I've felt a bit weird… ah, here we go…" Tahliah was interrupted by the scanner pinging. She looked at it and almost dropped to the floor in shock.
"Woh, careful hun! What is it… oh my god!" Amy said as she looked at the screen, both girl's jaws almost dropping out of their sockets.
Tahliah: Full body scan. Pregnancy, confirmed positive.
"I'm… pregnant…"
