Okay so I had a request for some follow-up fluff. You don't really need to have read Sea Prophesy to understand this, but if you wish to read it, it's on my page. It's REALLY long so...prepare for some commitment hahaha :P Anyways, enjoy!

"Sweetie, could you finish hanging these? It looks like the birthday boy has spilled his soup." River said, handing the Doctor a bundle of streamers and grinning at her perfect little boy.

"Morgan I've told you before, we eat properly on every planet. Spilling your food isn't cute until Gran and Gramps get here, understood?"

"But, mum, I'm just practicing! I always eat well. It's hard to be messy." the toddler stated, matter-of-factly.

"Oh alright. But listen to me, young man. There will be no talking from you. Your Gran is bringing some friends with her so you need act like a normal human baby." Morgan pulled a face and River laughed lightly.

"It's so boring to be a human! They don't talk, they can't eat good food, AND everyone seems to think they only understand baby-talk. I mean, really? It's embarrassing to watch."

This caught the Doctor's attention.

"It is, River! Even human babies can comprehend intelligence. A lot of times they're even smarter than the adults. I don't think it's very fair to talk down to them and-"

"Doctor. Streamers." River said, pointedly.

He sighed and continued his work.

She grabbed a napkin and began to wipe up the mess Morgan had made. Everything had gone by so quickly since he was born. By the end of week one, he was beginning to form sentences. By 5 months he was running around the TARDIS screaming about how cool bow ties and hats were. By 8 months, he was assisting her in her archaeological research. And just last week, he had held his own in a conversation with her old professor of ancient writings about the proper function of the chameleon circuit in a IRUST teleport in an ancient alien language.

He was brilliant.

She hated having to dumb him down when there were humans around, but there was no simple explanation for a one year old genius like him.

"Mummy, suppose you give them alcohol and then I can just act normal and they'll think they were just drunk."

River rolled her eyes. Sometimes he was too much like his father.

"No, darling. We're not going to do that. And if you try anything your dad and I will start flirting."

"NO! You guys are so embarrassing!" he cried, burying his face in his hands.

The Doctor laughed and came over to River, sneaking his arms around her from behind and kissing her neck.

River joined in the laughter and leaned into his kiss.

"Uch! You are so gross!" Morgan groaned and stood. "I'll leave you two to find a room...I'll be in my lab. I'm really close to breaking down natural elements into subcategories based on their neura-oh forget it. Seriously, mum and dad. Get a room."

He covered his eyes as he turned away.

The two laughed as they watched their son walk away on his tiny one year old legs.

"We did good didn't we?" said the Doctor.

"Yeah." she replied, turning towards him. "We did good."
