Then she fainted. Just before she hit the floor the doctor caught her. "We should bring her to the TARDIS."

"Through the window sweetie" river said with a kiss on the doctors lips.

"Through the window" the doctor agreed and soniced open the window. "ALON-Z"

"Hey be careful with her head" River whispered "Don't forget the watch" They quickly carried her to the TARDIS.

In the TARDIS

The scientists head felt like it was splitting in two "urrrr" she moaned

"Hey don't worry it'll pass, its just your residual memories returning," The doctor explained."Youll feel normal soon, just stay down" he said as she tried to get up.

"How many cities were lost in the war? "The scientist asked she needed to know.

"All of them" the doctor said firmly. Seeing her face he added on to his sentence. "No we won but at the cost of Gallifray and its people, no one survived." He explained sadness overcoming him.

"So what of my family?" she choked out the words

"Gone, all gone" it was horrible to admit even to himself. He felt like crying, so he wasn't surprised at all when she did.

"But. I didn't. Get to say. Goodbye." She wailed" my little baby girl Dvora, my son Borusa, and even my husband Kyklos. Ill never see them again." Tears were streaming down her face they were gone. "But Doctor what of your children?"

"Same." Said the doctor flatly expressing no emotion. He couldn't it hurt too much. It was just as bad as having to break the fate of the planets demise to another Galifrayan. He couldn't tell her not yet, he didn't want her to leave him, not yet he decided. He had finally found some likeminded company. He wouldn't tell her he destroyed galifray, not yet.

"I'm so sorry for your loss" River looked genuinely sorry

"Its okay, I guess from my point of view they've been dead for 17 years" she started crying again.

"Shhh, Shhh Shhhh Shhhh" the doctor shushed her and put down a cup in front of her. "Here's some tea, im so sorry"

"Its just I wish I had said goodbye." The scientist poured out her final regrets.

"I do to" the doctor said
