Chapter 2

Lying side by side in the queen-sized bed, the Doctor and River slept soundly. After the previous night, with all the tickling, swimming in the pool and probably the most amazing sex they had both experienced, they were exhausted.

River woke suddenly to someone shouting her name, the voice sounded familiar but she couldn't be sure. She tried waking the Doctor, and she couldn't off any time sooner because that second her mother, and his mother-in-law, Amy walked through the bedroom door. No sooner had she walked in, she walked back out again. River wasn't sure why, but then she looked to the Doctor and realised that he was stark naked, as was she. She gave him the biggest shove she could and he rolled striaght of bed. He sat up and looked at her confused. "What the hell was that for?" he said, still half a sleep.

"You might want to put some clothes on sweetie, my Mum is here. She has just walked in and seen you, well you know..." she replied to him, draping a black satin dressing gown over her shoulders.

The look on the Doctors face was priceless as he looked at himself and realised that he was stark naked, as was the pace in which he got dressed in. He rushed round the bedroom trying to find his bowtie and his tweed jacket, whilst River went to the bathroom and carefully washed herself and then carefully applied her makeup.

She then walked back into the bedroom "Morning sweetie" she said to the Doctor, he was looking everywhere for his shoes.

River chuckled to herself as she headed over to her wardrobe. She pulled out a pair of casual blue jeans and then got a cream top out of the draws. Eagerly watching River, he had stopped his search for his shoes and just stopped and stared at her.

He watched her put on her clothes, and then as she walked over to him. She gave him a gentle kiss on his left cheek. "Shoes are at the pool sweetie. Let's go and see Mum and Dad" she whispered to him as she took a hold of his hand.

River and the Doctor walked through the TARDIS to the control room where Amy and Rory were waiting. River had a hold of the Doctors hand as she said "Hello Mum and Dad" with a smile.

Amy walked over to River and gave her a hug. After she had hugged River, Amy stood infront of the Doctor and said in her thick Scottish accent "Well I'm not hugging first" She stood there being persistent with her words, "Haha, hello Pond" the Doctor said happily, hugging Amy.

Amy and the Doctor hugged as if they hadn't seen each other in a million years, reality was that it was a Saturday and every Saturday Amy, Rory, the Doctor and River went out together as a family.

Rory was stood in the TARDIS hardly speaking a word. "Whats up Dad?" River asked eagerly as she walked over to her father to give him a hug.

"Your mother and I have some news for you sweetheart" he replied in a quiet voice "Please sit down, you to Doctor."

The Doctor and River walked over to the sofa on the side of the control room and sat down, side by side. Rory and Amy walked over and stood in front of them, Rory put his left arm around his wife's waist. "River..." Rory started, Amy put her hand on her stomach and butted in Rory's words.

"You're going to be a big sister" Amy said excitedly.

For a few seconds, both the Doctor and River looked at each other as if they were confused, they eventually registered what Amy had said. The Doctor stood up, and then fell back own as he went dizzy from getting up too fast. He just laid on the floor for a few minutes.

River got up of the sofa with grace and elegance, and walked over to Amy and Rory and hugged them both at the same time. Her eyes welled with tears as she said "Congratulations."

The Doctor got up of the TARDIS control room floor after a few minutes and also congratulated Amy and Rory as well.

After all the excitement, River sat back down on the sofa. Amy, Rory and the Doctor were talking about where they should go for their day out.

River sat silently, thinking to herself. She knew she was happy with the Doctor, she loved him so much, and she knew that he loved her too. Even if he didn't say it most of the time. She thought about her parents and all they went through because she was the woman that was supposed to kill the Doctor, she remembered how lost Amy was at Demon's Run when she was taken away from her, but then River remembered her slight happiness when her Mother and Father found out that she was their daughter. She hoped that she would never have feel that loss, she knew that it devastated both her Mother and Father, and she didn't think that she could handle it herself. Lost in her own thoughts, she didn't see the Doctor walk over to her.

He knelt down in front of her and whispered in a gentle voice "River, whats wrong?"

That shook her out of her daydream and she replied "Nothing sweetie, I'm fine" he gave her a concerning look and she said in an unsettled voice "Honest, sweetie. I love you. I'd tell you if there was anything wrong"

The Doctor stroked her right cheek and kissed her forehead. He then took her hand and pulled her up from the sofa, "We are going to Paris for the day, you can go change if you want beautiful" the Doctor said to River.

River shook her head and replied "I'm fine dressed like this sweetie."

Just from that reply, the Doctor knew that something was wrong with River, she would have normally rushed of to change, instead she chose to stay as she was, he still thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world, however she was dressed. He held her in his arms for a few moments just admiring her beauty, he couldn't believe something could ever be this beautiful, but she was living proof...
