Meanwhile, in the teleport room, Mr Gold, Belle, Rory, and Amy were all standing together, talking about what to do with the problem they faced.

"Okay. I will be logical. Cold and logical, okay?" Rory began, breaking the silence. "For all of our sakes ... I am going to take my bracelet off my wrist and place it onto yours," Rory said, motioning to his bracelet on his wrist.

"Why?" Amy asked. "Then it'll just start converting you two. That's not any better."

"Yes, but it'll buy us time because it'll take longer with me.'

"I-I'm sorry, what?" Belle asked. "Why will it take you longer?"

"These Nanogenes subtract love. That's what Oswin said," Rory explained.

"What does that even mean?" Amy asked.

"It's just arithmetic," Rory explained. "It'll take longer with me because, well, we both know, we've both always known that … "He took a deep breath. "Amy … the basic fact of our relationship is that I love you more than you love me. Which today is good news because it might just save both of our lives."

Amy just stared at him. "How can you say that?'

"Two thousand years, waiting for you outside a box. Don't say it isn't true; you know it's true. Give me your arm. Amy!" Rory said, but then Amy slapped Rory.

"Don't you dare say that to me. Don't you ever dare," Amy said.

"Amy, you kicked me out!"

"You want kids. You have always wanted kids. Ever since you were a kid. And I can't have them," Amy said.

"I know," Rory said.

"Whatever they did to me at Demons Run, I can't even give you children. I didn't kick you out. I gave you up. Which means I love you more. I always have. I just don't show it. Because if you show that you love something or someone, others can manipulate it. I love you so much that I wanted you to be happy. So you get what you want. A child."

"Wait," Belle said. "I thought you had a child. Rumple and I, we met her, at the wishing well."

"Yes, Belle. River is our daughter. But we never raised her. We wanted a child to raise," Amy said.

"Amy," Rory said, "I don't –"

"Don't you dare talk to me about waiting outside a box because that is nothing, Rory, nothing, compared to giving you up."

"Don't touch me!" But Rory ignored her and pulled up her sleeve to see a wristband.

"It's the Doctor's. When you were sleeping," Rory said.

"A Time Lord. What's the betting they don't even need them," Amy said.

"Why didn't he just tell us?" Rory asked. But Amy didn't pay attention because she saw the Doctor straighten his bow tie on a monitor.
