Here is another chapter for you all!
*27 Weeks*
The Doctor waltzed through the TARDIS doors and bounced up the stairs towards the console. He started flicking switches and pulling levers as River appeared from behind the glass column, her eyes red and tired and her dressing gown pulled tightly around her. As soon as he laid eyes on her his excited mood changed.
"River? What's wrong?"
The Doctor moved swiftly towards her and attempted to wrap his arms around her. River shook him off and took a step back. His confused look told her to explain.
"Where have you been?" She whispered.
She sounded angry.
"Nowher-"
"Don't you dare! Where have you been?!" River raised her voice and stepped towards him.
The Doctor backed away until he was almost pressed against the console. He wasn't sure how to answer so decided to stay silent.
"I am sick of this! Sick of you lying to me!"
River pushed him until he hit a console panel. The Doctor grabbed her arms and held them in place to stop her from attacking him.
"Stop!" It was his turn to raise his voice.
He let go of her arms as she backed away from him and folded her arms although she was clearly still angry and ready to resume hitting him. She wiped a stray tear from the corner of her eye. The Doctor straightened up and adjusted his bowtie. He took a breath and rested on the edge of the console.
"I've been looking into something. You could call it investigating."
"Investigating what?" River's voice had gone quiet again.
"A girl. Her name is Clara."
"Why?"
"Different versions of her keep showing up and I need to know why and how."
River nodded and took a deep breath. The Doctor watched her carefully, preparing to grab her arms again.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
It took him awhile to answer.
"I thought you might be jealous."
River laughed almost patronizingly and waved her arms in the air.
"Jealous? Why would I be jealous?"
"I don't know. She's another woman?"
"So? Do you really think I don't trust you that much?"
The Doctor looked to the floor. River took a few steps forward causing him to flinch. It wasn't until she enveloped him in a hug that he relaxed and returned the gesture. They stayed together for a while before moving apart. River smiled reassuringly at her husband to let him know she wasn't angry anymore.
"You could have just told me." She brought a thumb to his cheek.
The Doctor nodded and scuffed his foot on the floor. River gasped causing him to look up. She laid a hand of her stomach.
"I think your child wants to say hello." She laughed.
The Doctor knelt down and placed his hands on her bump.
"I love it when the baby kicks." He almost whispered.
"You're not the one being kicked in the ribs, sweetie."
"Stop hurting mummy, little one." He placed a kiss at the top of the bump before standing up.
"You should go back to bed."
The Doctor took his wife's hand then led her towards the stairs.
This is likely to be it from me this week as I always leave my work until the last minute so I still have all that to do.
