AN: Hello- may I just say thankyou to you all (and my dorm mate- Squidge) for reading this and the 'L' Word, I can't say how much I appreciate your support, enthusiasm, comments and continued loyalty and frankly faith in me as an author- in spite of my frequent abandonment of you. So yeah- thanks.

This chap's quote- for the whole series:

As we grow older together, As we continue to change with age, There is one thing that will never change. . . I will always keep falling in love with you.

Ok, so this is it- the Time Lady is gone, the bomb was stopped, and Amy is unconscious. The Doctor is with her though, and Elkani's last words to him were of forgiveness. Also- during his traumatic experience with a hallucinogenic alien plant called the Hathoria- the Doctor saw his daughter, who was called Alice. Also- he and Amy slept together a few days ago.

Ok- this is it! For the last time- enjoy!

Moving quickly, the Doctor checked Amy's pulse and breathing before scooping her into his arms and half running to the teleport. She'd been unconscious for several minutes so far and he was beginning to get worried. He needed to be back at the TARDIS, now.

The blue light enveloped them, and when the Time Lord reopened his eyes he and his companion were standing outside the town hall of Omega. All the people were gone.

"That solves one mystery…" The Doctor murmured to himself, watching the new dust eddie in the wind across the city's once pristine marble streets.

Of course, two hundred and seventy six years would be barely anything to a Time Lord- but to humans… Well, there was a reason the city was now covered in dust. Shivering, the Doctor turned away from the temple and the frozen clocks, walking outside Omega's marble walls.

The TARDIS was frozen on the outside, but it's shields had protected the interior and mechanics from any interference. Getting in by using his screwdriver to boost the security protocols and expel the Time freeze over the ship, the Doctor shouldered his way inside- Amy still clutched tightly in his arms.

First he took her to the medical bay, laying her down and taking several scans to check all her vital organs were safe and unaffected. Scanning the screens the Doctor sucked in a quick, shocked breath. He checked again, then rechecked. The results were still the same.

Staring down at his redhead with an unreadable expression, the Doctor suddenly leant forwards, brushing her hair from her face and kissing her forehead.

Then, making sure she was safe- the Time Lord went back outside the room to the controls, taking them away from his people's final weapon- and it's haunted city.

Amy blinked. Her vision was blurred and her eyes were hot, as if they were full of tears. All she could see were splotches of light and shadow. She blinked again, moaning as a sharp pain pierced into her mind.

Slowly, things came in to focus, so she could see the Doctor's worried face just above her own. Taking a deep breath, she tried her voice. At first, nothing came out- but after a few attempts she managed a hoarse whisper.

"How long was I out?"

The Doctor smiled, but the tight corners of his eyes betrayed his worry. "Four days. I was starting to worry."

Amy raised her eyebrows, trying to sit up and feeling a wave a dizziness wash over her. "Four days? What happened?"

All she could remember was that Time Warrior lifting the spear, and looking down at the Doctor to tell him she loved him one last time. Amy frowned as it all came rushing back, and her eyes darted to the Doctor's.

"You stopped the bomb?"

The Doctor nodded. "Don't worry, you're safe."

Still catching up, Amy's frown deepened. "What about the crazy time lady? And all those people stuck in the time loop?"

He let out a sigh. "All gone." His tone and expression were bitter sweet. Amy wondered why, but felt now was not that time.

Instead she reached a hand up round the back of her head, checking for injuries. "So- what knocked me out?

Hesitating, the Doctor looked away- impulsively reading the monitors scanning her every few moments for damage.

"Doctor?"

"It's complicated." He looked down at his hands, then back up at Amy.

"In order to stop the bomb, I had to put the planet into a Time Freeze. Since the Time Loop was deteriorating, it froze everything at it's current moment- it's current age."

"So?" Amy could feel a nervous feeling gnawing at her stomach, and she wasn't sure why.

The Doctor sighed, meeting her eyes for a second- his expression torn. Then he took a deep breath, and let it all out at once.

"So you were on the surface of the planet, at the centre of the blast- and you're human, so you don't have a Time Lord's natural resilience to forced changes in the time stream. Everyone else- having repeated the same moment for two hundred and seventy six years fell to dust. But you…"

Realisation dawned and Amy was unsure if she happy or devastated. "I'm frozen like this- my bodyclock has been stopped."

Nodding, the Doctor added. "Yes, and- there's something else." He choked a little and Amy watched him from where she lay.

"What is it?" Her voice was tender. She couldn't fully take in the news that she'd never age again right now- or it's implications, but regardless her love for him brought a swell of concern to her heart to see him so distressed.

Looking down at his hands, the Doctor's face set and he raised his chin, meeting her eyes.

"The scans showed that you're pregnant. I wouldn't have known, but I had to do a full body scan on your internal organs."

Amy's mouth fell open slightly and she felt her eyes fill with tears as her hand went to her smooth stomach.

"Is it affected by the Time Freeze?" Suddenly the idea that she may forever carry the beginnings of a child, both of them frozen- occurred to her, and she tried to swallow her horror at the thought.

The Doctor shook his head. "No. I don't think so- you shielded it from most of the blast, and it's not yet developed enough to have a mature body clock which could be affected. Of course I don't know what the long term effects will be- I mean, there's not exactly a guidebook, but Amy-"

His tone changed, becoming fierce and intense as he took her hand.

"I swear to you. To both of you that I will do everything I possibly can to keep you safe and well and happy. I will never leave you- no matter what happens, I will always be there." The Doctor smiled . "No more slipups, no missed dates- nothing but you and I and our child."

Amy smiled back, laughing a little as the words she'd dreamed he'd say to her one day were said out loud. A few tears trickled from her eyes, and then she pulled him towards her, pressing her lips to his, gently- lovingly, a caress of skin.

No matter what- no matter what he did or did not do, no matter how either of them changed or what happened to them- they had each other, would always have each other. Their love and loyalty had no equal- the Oncoming Storm and Amelia Pond.

Pulling back a little, Amy put her hand to his cheek, cupping it the way he had so long ago when they'd danced to poetry on a crystal star. The difference was- now he was hers. And she his. Amy's grin widened even as the Doctor tenderly brushed away her tears with his thumb.

"So- any ideas for names?"

The Doctor chuckled lightly, tucking her hair behind her ear. "It's a bit early isn't it?"

Amy pouted. "Well we'll have to think about it some time."

Sighing in defeat, the Doctor smiled, gently touching her nose with his.

"Well, if it's a girl- I was thinking Alice…"
