River had briefed Amy and Rory about what was said at Bad Wolf Bay. And they had all decided that the Doctor and Aderyn needed to talk about it. Amy, ever the diplomat, had shut Aderyn and the Doctor in the living room, telling them she wouldn't let them out until they had sat and discussed this. Amy, Rory and River sat on the floor outside, listening intently.

Aderyn sat on the sofa, jiggling her leg nervously. The Doctor paced.

"You knew didn't you?" The Doctor said quietly.

Aderyn lent back on the sofa, her head titled so she was staring at the ceiling. "I found out just before the hotel." She admitted.

"Why didn't you tell me?" The Doctor said sternly.

"Yes, because this is all about you." Aderyn spat.

"Well I think this is a little about me yes," The Doctor shouted "So why didn't you tell me?"

Aderyn stood and squared up to the Doctor, matching his anger "Because I was scared," She roared. She became suddenly aware that she was in a residential area so probably shouldn't shout. She dropped the volume of her voice and said again "Because I was scared."

"Scared of what?" The Doctor said. Though he too had lowered his voice, he still sounded angry.

"Rejection, abandonment, being alone, being unloved. Take your pick. I've spent my life feeling unwanted and unloved. I've been let down by anyone who dared call themselves a parent to me. But being here with you, with River and with Rory and Amy, it's the only place and time I've ever felt like anyone has ever loved me or wanted me around. I couldn't risk changing that for anything."

Outside the door they heard hurried footsteps. Amy, Rory and River scrambled to their feet and away from the door as it was thrown open and Aderyn stormed angrily from the house. After a few seconds the Doctor emerged as well.

By the time he reached the TARDIS, Aderyn was already heading for the door again, a bag thrown over her shoulder and the vortex manipulator on her wrist.

Amy, Rory and River ran from the house. They needed to make sure that Aderyn didn't do anything stupid like punching the Doctor or leaving.

As Aderyn walked passed him the Doctor grabbed her arm. He spun her round, took the bag from her back and hugged her.

"My dear, sweet, amazing Aderyn, nothing could stop me wanting you around. Nothing," He said "If anything, I don't ever want you out of my sight," he broke away from her and put a hand on her cheek. "If I could go back and change everything bad that has ever happened to you I would. If I could change all of that without destroying the universe I would. Believe me I would," He lowered his hand and gave her back her bag "Leave if you want. But just know that I don't want you to go. The TARDIS door will always be open for you. Nothing will have changed." He stepped away from the door. His hearts sank when Aderyn stepped towards it. But she just stuck her head out and said "You guys can stop sneaking around now," She walked back into the TARDIS and put her bag down again. Amy, Rory and River stepped into the TARDIS "You can relax I'm not leaving." River, Amy and Rory ran at her, all throwing their arms around her as best they could. The Doctor was soon pulled into it as well.

"You've got us, Beastie. Whether you like it or not." Amy said, her voice muffled by Aderyn's shoulder.
