Summary: Jenny has something to tell Vastra. Fluff.
Vastra felt bone aching tired as she made her way to the living room. The Doctor stole her wife away for something and she had to catch the crook with Strax. Had it been a human, it would have been a simple capture and imprison mission. Alas, it turned out it was a shapeshifter and suddenly the mission became much harder. The Silurian sighed in relief as she collapsed into her favorite seat and closed her eyes. Next time the Doctor appeared in his Blue Box to kidnapped her wife, she was going to poison him. Vastra and Strax worked well enough together to defeat the enemy, but she always fought best with her human by her side.
The familiar whirling sound of the Tardis made her crack an eye open to look at the police box appearing in a corner of the room. Vastra got up briefly before shaking her head and slumping back down. Impropriety be damned, she just spent the last 4 hours chasing and fighting the shifter and an hour after explaining to the incompetent police what to do with it. She tilted her head when only Jenny came out of the box before it phased out of their time. The Doctor and his companion usually stayed for a bit before leaving.
Vastra frowned before shrugging and smiled at her wife. "You missed quite an adventure today."
"Oh?" Jenny took off her jacket and walked over to Vastra. Rather than sit in the chair next to Vastra's, the human sat on her wife's lap. "Why's that?"
The lizard wrapped her arms around her human. "The crook was a shapeshifter. He led us on a chase everywhere before being cornered as a blue feline. He turned into a large raptor, Strax used a few grenades, part of a wall nearly fell on us, and we incapacitated and left him outside Scotland Yard. All in all, just another day of running around London like beheaded poultry. How was your day."
Jenny smiled and took one of Vastra's hands into her own. She placed it on her abdomen and waited. The Silurian tilted her head in confusion. "Jenny?"
When her human continued to say nothing and look at her in anticipation, Vastra realized there must be some significance to the gesture and reviewed what she knew.
Food. Digestive system. Large and small intestines. Easy to slice. Vulnerable area to attacks. Probable death from abdominal injury for humans. Pregnancy.
Her eyes widened. "Are you...?"
At Jenny's nod and wide grin, Vastra pulled Jenny for a tight hug and kiss.
Vastra looked at Jenny's still flat stomach and nuzzled her wife's neck.
"Why the secrecy?"
"I wanted to be sure before I told you. No point in getting both our hopes up again."
They've been trying for a while and to finally succeed. Vastra nodded.
"A hatchling."
"Baby. She's not going to pop from an egg."
Vastra smiled as she place her hand back on Jenny's still flat stomach.
"A baby hatchling then. We'll have to Strax-proof the house. Goddess forbid our hatchling finding one his contraptions."
Jenny mockingly glared at her wife. "Vastra..."
"Yes my love, the fittest and most beautiful of all mammals?"
The human rolled her eyes and bopped Vastra on the head making the Silurian laugh.
"Little one, your mother is being affected by her hormones already. Please ignore that type of behavior, thank you."
"You're the daftest of all lizards."
"See? Insults so soon. More evidence of the infamous hormonal imbalance in humans due to pregnancy."
Jenny pulled Vastra for a kiss to shut her up and Vastra happily complied.
A happy day indeed.
