She stood outside the cell silently, watching as River patiently sat crossed legged on her bed, reading her diary. She was waiting for her to say something, without even flinching or moving, because River always knew. She was too scared to approach her mother, to speak to her about what she was going to do, the plan that had left her father speechless for the first time in centuries. He had gone back to see The Pond's and Mai had decided to come and see River as she still had the vortex minipulator.

"Sweetie, don't stand there too long, you'll catch Chen 7." River said out loud, her eyes not leaving the book.

"Cause I'm casually gonna catch Chen 7 in StormCage aren't I mother?" Mai said, walking in and sitting down next to her on the bed.

"You never know." She muttered. "Don't bother doing diaries, your father's been trying to keep us roughly at the same place on the timeline lately." She sighed, placing the diary down next to her. "Don't know why. He does worry me sometimes. Now, what's up? What's happened? You only come and see me without The Doctor if something is up. So come on, spill."

...

"Alright mate?"

"Fine." Luke sighed as one of his mates walked past. He sat on the front door step of where he was staying, watching people walk past in the suburbia of Australia. He watched a little girl of about 4 walk along the busy street, completely on her own. She had thick, golden hair that came down to her shoulder blades and looked around the street, acting extremely mature for her age. He frowned to himself, wondering why the little girl was all on her own. She walked over to him, looking half preocupied.

"Excuse me." She asked politely, sounding way too mature for her age. "I'm lost."

"Have you lost your mummy?" Luke said, baffled.

"I don't have one." She said innocently.

"What's your name?"

"Sarah!" A figure in a black dress snapped, a hood covering their face. They grabbed the young girls wrist and fiddled with their wrist, as Luke noticed the figure wore a vortex minipulator, before teleporting off. He jumped up, trying to grab the little girl from the stranger, but it was too late. He stared for a few moments at the spot where they dissapeared, thinking, unable to move. His friend Greg appeared next to him, shaking his shoulder to snap him out of the trance.

"Mate what happened? What's wrong?"

"I'll tell you what's wrong." Luke said, looking at him. "I've made the biggest mistake of my life." He snapped, jogging down the street.

"Where are you going?" SJ shouted.

"Leadworth!" He called back.

...

Her mother's words rang through her ears. Mai, please. But she couldn't bring herself to listen to her. The biggest mistake of my life was doing that to you, you'll never forgive yourself. The red marks had nearly faded away on her wrist from where River tried to pull her back, begging her not to, the dried tears on her hand, some her's but mainly River's. The Doctor sat back in Leadworth, with Amy and Rory, sitting in silence. They knew that Mai was the perfect combination of the three of them and River, and every companion of The Doctor's, and didn't attempt to stop her, because they knew if they did, they might never see her again. She'd get up and leave and never come back. And really, they couldn't stop her. There was only one person in the world that could stop her, and he wouldn't because he didn't care anymore. Anyway, only the biological parents could stop it, no matter who tried to stop them. Ever since The Doctor knew about the fields of trenzalore, the fun and the adventures stopped, and it became more dramatic by the second. The fun slipped away, but that's what happens with The Doctor, there's always something plotting behind it all, and the adventures, it was all for nothing, because something so tragic will happen, and all that they had done, would have been for nothing, it would have destroyed the happiness, but they wouldn't have regretted it for one minute.

She listened to the clopping of her shoes behind her, walking along the space station's cold, bright corridor. At the end of corridor was a small, black cot. Giving a child up for adoption with The Shadow Proclamation was completely different then on earth... they kinda already knew you would be coming. You give a sample of DNA and they'd figure out everything from that before leaving the child in the room and say goodbye, never seeing them again... usually. She lowered her baby into the black cot, staring at her. She couldn't cry, she'd done way too much crying ever since she set foot in The TARDIS that day after the aliens in her school, oh how far she had come. She stared down at her, not knowing what to say, well, what could you say at that point?

"You've had so many names since you were born." She finally managed to say in Gallifreyan, watching her squirm. "But to me, you'll always be my little Mels. But I don't want a risk of you being found, so you've been named under another name-" She sighed, correcting herself. "Your proper name, but your Daddy changed it. So you have 2 names, like your Nan. When I met you as a teenager, your name changed alot, to exactly the same as hers. You were Melody, then Mels and then River Song. Guess that'll never happen now. You were pregnant, and you wanted me to warn your mother, before you knew I was your mum. I wish I could have helped you, I guess I was being selfish, thinking more about everything going back to normal then what you wanted. I never found out who was the father, you never said. I got a feeling it was Harley though." She chuckled lightly and sighed. "But if I hadn't, we would have lost Luke. Your probably wondering why I'm not upset. This is a good thing, I'm abandoning you. I'm not gonna lie to you, I don't want this to seem like a sob story. River left me because she wanted me safe, but so do I, but this is different. She didn't want to give me up. I have to. Don't think of me as a good person who done everything for you like Sadie and Charlie told you, cause I didn't. I left you so many times and couldn't care for you properly, hell, I died and left you alone. I was too busy trying to keep a war in order to listen to Luke when you arrived on Gallifrey. I hope to god you never go there. It's impossible apparently, but we've proved that's wrong on many occasion. But here I am, blabbing on in Gallifreyan. I'm only speaking it now because your never gonna here these words again. If you love me, which you won't because I was a bitch to you and a horrible mother, don't try and find me. Because I will destroy your life, and I can guaruntee that. Enjoy your life, the life I used to have, but can never get back." She sighed and kissed her on the head, pickcing up the pen and paper that appeared infront of her, carefully writing 'SJ Halo' before turning round and walking down the corridor.
