Bella awoke to find herself surrounded by the Doctor's scent. She tried to blink the sleep away as the Tardis hummed a gentle greeting. "Hey, Old Girl," she mumbled as she sat up and looked around.

This must be the Doctor's room Bella thought. She was in a large, comfortable bed housed in a room that fitted her husband's personality perfectly.

"It's about time you woke up, sleepyhead," the Doctor entered carrying a tray. "I thought you might be hungry," he said as he placed it on her lap.

Food! Bella ate like a starving woman. She felt like she hadn't eaten for days. As she handled the utensils she paused as she realized something.

"My shoulder doesn't hurt," she said quizzically. "I didn't think I'd be able to move it for days once the adrenaline wore off."

The Doctor chuckled. "I fixed it. And before you ask, the baby's fine."

Bella placed her hand upon her belly. "I still can't believe I'm gonna have a baby. How am I going to know what to do? I always stayed away from babies after the doctors told me I couldn't have one."

"I think we'll manage," the Doctor replied as he snagged a piece of toast off her plate.

"Hey! I was gonna eat that!"

"Tough. I did all the work so I'm stealing a bite."

"But I'm still hungry!" Bella protested.

"If you're still hungry after finishing all that's left on your tray, I'll fix you some more. Now eat."

Bella did as she was told. It felt strange how easily she had adapted to being with the Doctor but it felt right just the same. Even so, how did she end up here? The last thing she remembered was...

She slapped the Doctor's arm, "You knocked me out!"

"Ouch! Yes, I did and no, I'm not going to apologize. You were hurt and so upset that you killed several people back there. Killed, Bella. You didn't just hurt them or knock them out, you killed them stone dead. That was completely uncalled for."

"You're pissed off at me! I didn't know what was happening to you! I didn't know you were safe until I managed to track you down!"

"That is no excuse. Don't do it again. If we are ever separated, you sit there and you wait for me. You do not try to escape, you do not panic and hurt yourself, and above all you do not kill anyone ever again. Do I make myself clear?"

Bella found herself unable to hold the Doctor's glare. "Okay," she agreed glumly as she looked away.

The Doctor threw an arm over the shoulders of his young wife, pulled her close, and kissed her on the head. "Finish your meal. We've got a big day today."

Bella looked up at the Time Lord quizzically. "Why? What are we doing?"

"Oh I thought we would put the Tardis on random and see where we end up. Don't know about you but I'm sick of being locked inside."

"Me too!"
