Here one more chapter!

"This is one of many gifts tonight, honey" - he took her hand and kissed it gently and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. She smiled, she was feeling a teenager at their first date, was when he opened the door, and immediately she recognized the place and this made her feel a chill in the pit of the stomach and a chill went down her spine. Oh this was not good!

We were in the same restaurant we had fought in almost a year and a half ago, that if I think in linear time! One in which our meeting had begun extremely pleasant and ended in pure disappointment and sad in my life!

Unconsciously put my hand on my abdomen, I felt incredibly uncomfortable and vulnerable at the situation and I probably was pale, all the emotions of that fateful day flooded my mind, a million emotions, and unfortunately nothing went unnoticed by the Doctor. He asked concerned:

"Are you okay?" - She tried to control and put your best smile:

"Yes, sweetie, I'm fine" - he asked discouraged:

"So ... you did not like the place? I know the last time we were here our meeting did not end well ... but I want to fix this and ... "- she grabbed him and kissed him, he responded eagerly, she pulled away from him, he had a stupid grin on his lips and she asked trying to sound happy:

"They still have the best wines in the universe?"

"Find out for yourself!" - He said offering her arm she accepted readiness.

The Doctor had made special reservations for tonight, I soon realized that he had made the reservation on the balcony, where I always wanted to get, because the view was beautiful. I looked around the restaurant, and my mind went back to that fateful night, I pushed the memory far away, I wanted to enjoy tonight.

He asked for lemonade and I ordered wine. We were there for several hours, sitting, chatting and flirting. As he paid for the meal, I decided to wander to gaze at the stars. They were as beautiful as the last time the doctor brought me here, but today they were brighter, but close to that day.

Looking at the stars now, and admiring each one, I could name most of them, some who had visited, other than just the name and knew their stories. I could not believe how far I had come since the last time I was here with my doctor in a date. It seemed like a long time ago, in some respects, but in others, it was so recent.

I was no longer a prisoner in Stormcage, now, I was a professor at the University of Luna. I had traveled the universe alone, helping people. I had people who respected me. I was no longer known to kill the Doctor, I was just River Song, a teacher, a renowned archaeologist and what was being asked for a big company to make a expedition huge responsibility.

Well, maybe not so simply. I also was Melody Pond, daughter of Amelia Pond and Rory Williams, Doctor's best friend, my husband.

I was still the woman who lived three lives, each one desperately to find my parents and be loved by them. I had been brainwashed to hate the man I loved, and I had somehow replaced the programming and today I would kill anyone or anything or even die to save the Doctor, the man I loved .

The Doctor came slowly, gently wrapping my waist and kissing my neck, rose lips to my ear and told me smooth:

"A star by a single thought your!" - I smiled and let me wrap his strong arms and smell him, and said in a seductive tone and with a small smile playing around my lips:

"Do not worry sweetie, they are all facing you!" - he presses his lips on my neck and softly and seductive says:

"Now, I give you the universe, to know at least one!" - I said smiling:

"Uhn, No Doctor!" - he would tease she, but something caught his eye and he said in complete awe:

"You're brilliant!"

"It tends to happen when I'm around you, sweetie!" - River joked. - "A side effect of happiness, I suppose." - He insisted on full admiration:

"Yes, that is true, but what I mean is that you are literally shining, look this!" - Said he still admired with light silver that was emanating River, he raised her hand, she looked for the light in your hands, were actually shining, she said:

"I think guilt is the moonlight!" - She said with a laugh unconvincing:

"It's not the light or effect her for you ...no...you... You're glowing!" - She raised an eyebrow at him and she said, looking uncertain for hands:

"I really do not understand why this is happening!" - He away some curls and kissing her neck:

"Because, as you said is a side effect of happiness that I cause in you!" - she said, her voice rich and warm:

"Oh, you cocky!" - He said in a seductive tone and kissing her neck down to the shoulders:

"I do not! Were his words, Doctor Song "- she laughed, he turned and kissed her passionately, then she broke the kiss, needing to catch my breath. They stood there on the balcony, holding each other, just enjoying the view and each other's company.

I felt awkward and indecisive for a moment I thought about postponing the invitation to go to Darillum, I do not know what reason exactly, but installed a fear within me, an abnormal thing. So I asked the Doctor some time alone because he needed to think, he realized quicker than I thought it would, should have noticed that my thoughts would not leave my mind quiet and I really needed to unwind, he found it odd request, but gave me the coordinates of where to find it so I was ready to go the long awaited Darillum.

I lost track of time as I walked and looked at the sky, people walking down the street, children playing and laughing, I was lost in thought, thinking about everything that had happened so far in my life, the questions invaded my mind every fraction of a second, if my parents had not traveled with the Doctor would I be here? How would my life be? Have children? Be married? If it had not been kidnapped what direction my life would have taken? Would have continued to travel with the Doctor straight? He would have corresponded to my flirting? Would we be married? I'll get to be a good mother? I'm going to get really protect them? I had no answers, was used to having answers, but possibly today, was not one of those days, shook me out of that state of mind.

I decided it was time to go, put the coordinates that the Doctor gave me and then I realized where I was, I started walking toward where the TARDIS should be, and nothing of the TARDIS, I swear sometimes I think the man moves the TARDIS only to annoy me, and finally I came across the TARDIS in different place ... snorted and said in a whisper: "Oh... that man never landed at the right place ..."

I opened the door of the TARDIS and saw the man I loved standing on the console, he had somehow found the time to change before meeting me. Actually, it was the same outfit the last time we were here on a date. Actually, on second thought, he was wearing something similar when I met him here after being chased by Sontarans. Oh, this man always so nostalgic, opened a huge smile:

"You idiot nostalgic, you just can not keep away, do you?" I touched my dress when I saw his twin brother hanging in front of me. "Doctor? Because you bought another one of these?" He looked scared as he approached me. And then I had a very dangerous thought, jealous, yes, I assume, I was jealous. "Who else is here?"

"River, you could just check the light on top? Guess that the need to change the bulb!" He asked randomly.

I was caught by surprise with its neutral tone "The bulb?" I asked skeptically.

He nodded a little, and I left. I took a few steps out of the TARDIS and looked at the light. It was perfect. That stupid man. I was going to kill him. I went back to the TARDIS, and looked at the doctor. "The bulb is great! I do not know what you're talking about. "

"No, No, No River!" a voice behind me shouted. It looked strangely like the Doctor. Actually, it was another version of it. - "No, River, The TARDIS wrong, I stopped behind." - He told me and I looked at the previous version in shock. No wonder the doctor was in a panic, it was probably one of those times he tried to convince me to wear the dress. The Doctor said: "The newest version."

"Two of you ..." - smiles. My mind had not thought about for years. Not since the last time I had seen two versions of it at the same time. It was probably the same time, so I repeated my words. "The mind races, is not it?"

"Come on, we'll be late!" - He pushed me to the door. The only time we really have to keep a schedule and I have two doctors in front of me. OH how that sounds good, really good and I could not resist: ". He is finally taking me to the Torres singing Darillium He has promised me some time!" - Said the younger as I got out, I was hoping the doctor would be right behind me, but he took a few minutes so I waited for him.

"Sorry, about that ..." - he apologized to let the younger TARDIS.

"I moved when I remembered, I was looking for you and saw and thought ..."

"What time was that?" I asked, when he grabbed my hand. He smiled.

"Oh, my River ... You!" - He shook his head laughing - "You got knocked his own encounter three times in one night!" - I laughed.

It was then that I realized I was jealous of me three different times on the same night. I smiled at him:

"You can not tell me that life is boring, right?" He agreed:

"No, Doctor Song, somehow! Never, ever, be boring! "

When we were back aboard the TARDIS, he immediately put the coordinates for the singing towers and I realized how excited I really was for. And when we landed, the doctor took my hand and opened the door to Darillium.

It was simply awe-inspiring, and the towers do not even singing yet. But the two towers were carved between mountains, flowering trees and giant around, a river of old blue waters flowed through them was exceptionally stunning, he took me to the grass, on a blue blanket TARDIS, which stood beneath a flowering tree I sat down and he took his place beside me. Once I was sitting, it automatically enveloped me in his arms, I snuggled myself enjoying the view I raised my hand and stroked her cheek. "Thanks for finally bringing me here."

"You want to come here for a long time!" He said simply.

"You always avoiding, I thought you'd never bring me here, I'm glad you proved me wrong!" - Really smile. He ran a bit when I saw that his smile was forced, I felt that something was wrong and would question him:

"Doctor, wha-" - but before I could ask him, a strong wind blew and the towers began to sing one of the most beautiful melodies in the universe. I instinctively closed my eyes enjoying every note, every time, all started as a slow melody, as if the wind was testing his ability and the music evolved, it began to become a little darker sinister side of melody came and the weather changed again , the music was more attractive after this change, and kept surprising each new musical note, enveloping me in a different sense and was again becoming lighter when arriving the end, had a morbid sense of melody , the last notes gave a hint of hope. I had never heard the music of the corner towers, but somehow sounded familiar.

When it was over, I opened my eyes. I turned to look at my husband, to thank you one more time for bringing me here. However, I was not expecting to see tears rolling down his cheeks. As wonderful as the music was, it was out of my mind. Our hands had never been separated, so I put my other on top of his, before asking: "Doctor, what's wrong"

"It's nothing!" - He tried, but I knew better than all.

"Sweetie, it's clearly something!"

"River, do not worry about it."

He was wiping her eyes with her free hand, but they were still flowing from his eye. I gently let go of her hand, and placed them on either side of his face and kiss him softly, wiping the salt water from his face.

His hands were suddenly grabbing my hair as he held me in our kiss. I was always happy to kiss my husband, but I recognized that this kiss was really he was upset about something. I gave your needs until he pulled back a little.

"You gonna tell me what's wrong?"

"I told you" - He was acting very strange, as if this were a farewell and this worries me a lot, seriously questioned:

"Doctor, you're in danger?"

"No."

"Rule number 1!" - I reminded him.

He gave a small smile. "Not this time."

"It's about Amy and Rory?" - I asked, knowing how much he cared for them.

"No."

"So what?" I was worried about the Doctor. He had this beautiful thing for me, but something was on his mind.

"River, please. Tonight is to be enjoyed with you. I'm good, please do not worry about me, I'm fine, I swear!" - He told me and still stubborn tears flowed from his eyes. I sighed:

"Ok" - I was going to convince him to tell me but he took my hand, kissed it, and said smiling, boyish smile that I loved so much and said, "Thank you."

He dragged us to lie down on blanket and I snuggled in his arms, and stood there just staring at the stars. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder and my head rested on his chest. I fiddled with his tie a bit, and he placed soft kisses on my head. After a while, he used his free hand and began to search his pockets. I would not have noticed, unless pushed me a little breast, curiosity got the better and I could not help but ask:

"What are you looking for?"

"I have a gift for you!" - he said, though he was clearly distracted looking in his pockets.

"Really?" I smiled. "It's something that I can share in public?"

"What? Course Ah hah!" - He exclaimed, as he pulled a small object that was wrapped in blue paper TARDIS. He handed it to me and I just stared at him. He rarely gave gifts, stared at the package in my hands he encouraged me. "Open it"

I did as he asked, this day was being really weird, and became even more when I saw what was hidden underneath the paper. It was a sonic screwdriver, almost identical to his 10th regeneration, looked stunned for sonic in my hands and looked at him blankly:

"One sonic screwdriver?"

"I thought you might need one eventually, since you are part Time Lord" he smiled. "I think they are very helpful."

"I know you do." - I always thought the sonic screwdriver as a tool that serves only for the Doctor. The TARDIS was the only machine capable of producing them, and while she was practically my mother, I do not think she would do for anyone but him and me.

"It has all the same settings as mine, including the definition of red filter!" - I was still looking for the key in amazement and he asked unsure:. "Did not you like?" - He had a look on his face that made me remember a boy waiting for his first girlfriend liked the first gift.

"I love it!" - I assured him with a kiss. It was not long before the sonic screwdriver was lying beside me as the Doctor put on me, doing nothing but kissing and fondling. After a while I was sleepy due to her caresses and said sleepily:

"Today was perfect!"

He touched her face, stroking her cheek with his thumb, he agreed:

"Absolutely perfect!" - And started talking about music and chords, River knew it would last for hours so she decided, she leaned over and kissed him, her lips parting against her. He kissed her back, his hand slipping from the face to the neck and the back, but she stopped smiling and said:

"I think we should go back!" - And got up quickly and began to walk to a TARDIS, Doctor is babbling about music. When River entered the TARDIS, she was feeling tired and went straight to the wardrobe, began to get the green evening dress and listening to her husband excitedly ramble:

"... Impeccable high note! Flawless harmony, had at least one hundred forty-seven different notes!" - The doctor's voice was a charming boy. - "Ah, nothing like a good song and a beautiful wife to make a wonder night" - He reappeared buttoning a white shirt and a red bow tie hanging undone, he looked at River and instantly stopped talking. The last syllable of the phrase escaped as a whisper: "and..."

River grinned and said: "What, sweetie?"

"Uh ... well ... I can see what I meant was ..." the doctor looked at her and scratched his chin. He concentrated on, what was very hard ... "you're naked!"

She fluffed her curly hair and looked down, shrugging.

"Yes, I am ... What's wrong?"

He fidgeted nervously with his hands, never taking his eyes from her body said: "Nothing ... it's just ... It's cold in here, is not it?"

River can not help laughing internally, as he always seemed an awkward teenager, he was his clumsy boy, the effect it caused him after so long made her so enchanted:

"No it's not."

River ran his tongue over the lips and slipped on the nervous husband as a predator in a moment, her bare breasts were pressed against his chest. She was so close she could smell him, the hearts the doctor were beating fast , she could feel them, he wanted to say something, your tongue hit her lips. One time. Twice. Three times. She felt him begin to harden under his pants.

Finally he managed to say:

"River ..." - his voice was a whisper, almost louder than the breath taking emotions and unspoken.

Sometimes his antics made him look like a boy. Here now pressed against the length of his body, River could tell how much of a man he really was.

"Doctor," River whispered against her lips. She reached under his shirt and grabbed his suspenders pulling him closer and kissed him deeply.

The doctor, who until then had been trying to put your hands anywhere, but not in their nakedness finally let cold hands resting on his shoulders first, then his arms were around her, keeping it straight eagerly pressed against body.

They split breathlessly, she teased:

"Their hearts are out of sync." River smiled.

The doctor smiled back and said hoarsely:

"You have that effect on me, Doctor Song!"

She loved his boyish smile, her hair fell to one side of the forehead. She reached out and ran his fingers through them to tuck it and without taking his gaze away from her said:

"Then" - she touched through his shirt - "Will our room is too far?"

"In fact, here's the side! I would like to see it?"

"It's that or I have my way with you here."

"Mm, bedroom. Yeah, bedroom! The bedroom is very good! Come." The doctor took River on his lap and walked quickly through the many doors inside the TARDIS.

He took her on his lap all the way and she was having fun, were not far behind, he opened the door with her in his arms, the room seemed more charming than the last time she had there was tidier, and their things were sample and had a touch of your personality. There were black shag rug, the bed was a delicacy, had written in Gallifreyan, in the corner there was a wooden shelf where her books were arranged elegantly, had a nightstand on his side of the bed and one of his favorite books was resting on it was nothing like River was expecting. River enjoyed gently as he lay in bed. He said in his ear:

"Like this?"

She shuddered at the sound of his voice and said absently:

"Yeah .."

"Are not you cold?"

She feigned offense. "You're not hot, with so many clothes!"

"Unlike you". He blinked, River laughed at his joke and patted his shoulder:

"Oh .. You!" River looked deeply into her green eyes so old and so young at the same time ... and in a very sad way.

"River" - he whispered insecure "We could ... well ... let's not rush it today" - Being naked beneath her dress completely made of extremely vulnerable feeling the River and she liked it.

"I'm not in a hurry." River looked at him through her lashes.

The doctor straightened enough to shrug off his shirt half open time, she helped him enjoying every inch of her body, she ran a hand across his face and he his lips, tongue and fingers like a storm, wanting to explore every millimeter of her body, he left her gasping and almost helpless, and she remembered again that he was more than the man he pretended to be.

They made love several times that night. Each time was different.

River lay on her back to him, and totally quiet and sleeping naked, covered only by bed sheet, looked as innocent as the day, her wonderful curls sprawled on the pillow she was clutching, it seemed so familiar in recent times. He was admiring, thinking inundating your mind:

My River ... has always been more than a puzzle to me ... our relationship grown so much in recent years, flirt and banter, shared secrets, intimacy, all this created feelings which I still I'm scared, and scared me beyond any and all universe. What will I do if I lose you?

The day of his death is so close, ah my love, do not know what to do, do not know what to think, it burns my heart, do not know what to do or how to prevent it, do not want, can not lose you, that day, when he heard my name, my real whispered by these lips I love so much, I had all the confirmation that you were someone very special to me, someone I trust completely.

At that moment I was afraid, and promised I would not love me or leave me carry feelings, feelings that are now impossible not to feel you're part of me, as is the universe, my fears are different today.

I can not decide if this is a blessing or a curse eternal, as I fought every feeling, especially now that you are part of my life so closely and often, so there is not a day, a moment ...

"Sweetie?"

"Yes…" - she turned to face him:

"Please, stop standing watching me, I can not sleep with you watching me!"

"Sorry honey…!" - He pulled her closer to him, she snuggled in his arms. She said sleepily:

" What do you have? "

He pulled her chin, making her look at him and kissed him softly, he said, breaking the kiss and leaning his forehead against hers, his eyes piercing hers, desperate for her to feel his sincerity. "River, I need to tell you something! Something very important! "

She stiffened in his arms, he kissed her forehead and nose to nose pressed again saying softly:

"I love you."

River's eyes never left her, but they were filled with tears:

"Me too love you" - he kissed her softly and wrapped his arms kissed the top of her head, she snuggled in her arms and she was silent for a few moments and finally she said:

"Doctor, what's wrong? "

He sobered and kissed her hand:

"I need to tell you something ... something very important and very secret you must not repeat to anyone.'m Putting my life in your hands with what I'm about to tell you. You must promise to never, ever repeat this unless it is an emergency. "

"You should know that I'm great at keeping secrets." - He said seriously:

"No, River, I need you to promise!

She tensed, "Doctor you're scaring me What's wrong?"

"Please River!"

"I promise ... and I'm listening."

He leaned over and whispered his name in his ear. His real name. The sound that opened something deep inside her. That was the last thing on your way she could imagine, the heart of River raced, she finally asked:

"Why?"

His face became more serious and he brought her closer to him:

"Because our deadlines will be out of sync again soon. I never give my name to someone I did not trust. Whisper it to any of my past selves and immediately I'll trust you ... even when you do not I know. "

River immediately knew the day she dreaded was near, she feared this day more than the thought of your own death. Tears stung her eyes, but she quickly blinked them away.

"It's a beautiful name!" She said, clinging to him as if he were a life raft.

"No, yours is better! Your sounds like a superhero." He rumbled in her ear. "RIVER SONG, My Melody Pond."

Normally, when he said his name in that tone would have made River roll your eyes, but not today. She snuggled into his arms, he hugged her and started stroking her hair and make caresses until she was asleep, the last time in his arms, tears flowed down his face and he silently wept that night.
