By the looks of it she had to be nearly 8 months at this point. She wore black yoga pants, the most comfortable for her condition he thought, and a loose fitting white shirt that hung off of one shoulder. The Doctor placed a tender kiss to her forehead. She was alive. Her breathing shallow but there. The scanner only revealed her pregnancy. Nothing more. He was clueless to what caused her to faint or as to why she was here. He ran a hand down from her cheek, to her neck, over her shoulder, followed the length of her arm and rested his hand over hers which was securely placed over her growing child. He had to get her to the TARDIS.

He shifted the arm under her head so it was holding her neck then moved his other hand so his forearm rested in the crooks of the backs of her knees. Then he stood. Her body quickly molding into his side. An arm instinctively wrapped around his neck. She was conscious enough to move slightly and to sense his presence. He carefully walked down the stairs then changed into a sprinting pace. The TARDIS doors swung open as he neared. He mentally thanked his machine. He hurried up the steps as the dingy glow of the TARDIS brightened to show him a new door. As he stepped closer it swung open revealing the TARDIS medical bay. A hospital bed was awaiting him as he stepped in. "I'm here River, I'm right here" He whispered into her mane as he set her down gently on the bed. He looked around to fine the white walls lined with every possible hospital machine imaginable. Most from the future where medicine has surpassed imagination. He found a full body scanner and brought it over to her. He pressed the SCAN button and the process began. He bent closer to her brushing her hair back repeatedly with one hand while the other rested on her belly. He hadn't let his mind form questions about the baby while they were in the house but now in the safety of the TARDIS he let his mind wander. In his timeline he and River were engaged and had been intimate numerous times. Spending many nights tangled together in the heat of passion, yelling into space about their unmatchable love as they rolled together over and over again until they saw lights brighter than the sun. He just couldn't imagine her being pregnant for so long without knowing.

He kissed her temple, then each eye then the tip of her nose before placing a gentle kiss to her lips. "I'm here River. I came." He whispered with his forehead against her temple. "SCAN COMPLETE" the robotic voice echoed throughout the room causing him to jump lightly. He turned the monitor towards his face reading off the results.
