"I'll come and see you soon and you know how to find me," the Doctor smiled before he leant in and kissed her, River's smile growing as his arms moved around her body. "Do you have to go? There are people I want to introduce you too," he declared, thinking of Clara who was currently fast asleep in the TARDIS as River slowly began to remove herself from his hold before running her fingers across the large bump.
"You'll see me again soon; you've got all of this to come," she smiled as he nodded and rested against the TARDIS as she slowly entered her cell and turned to face him before he approached the cell and locked the door for her before he found her hand between the bars and laced his fingers with hers. "You better go now," she whispered. "They'll realise I'm back and will want to question me on how I managed to get out of here again. Eight months pregnant and I can still get out of here without them noticing," River smirked as the Doctor laughed, smiling at her before he glanced down at her bump in amazement. They were really having this baby!
"My clever wife, keeping these guards on the edge of their seats," he whispered, kissing her quickly before stepping away, watching as she moved to sit down on the bed and groaned. "River," he immediately panicked as she laughed at his concerned face.
"Just kicking, I'm fine," she smiled as he nodded and slowly opened the doors to the TARDIS, turning once more to see her staring at him. "Doctor you need to go now," she stated, his head nodding before he stepped inside and shut the door behind him, shock covering his face when he turned to see Clara resting against the console.
"And where did you just go?" Clara questioned as he shrugged, his smile growing however as he removed his coat. "Did you go and sneak off to visit your wife?" she teased as the Doctor remained silent, a laugh leaving Clara's lips as she approached him and stared up at him. "I can't believe you didn't tell me that you're married Doctor. You invite me into your snog box and you don't even tell me that you're a married man, some people would be shocked by our arrangement."
"Well, you know now Clara and it's not a snog box," he stated as Clara stared up at him in confusion. He seemed upset and that worried her.
"Are you okay?" the brunette questioned as the Doctor sighed and moved to sit down in one of the chairs. "Doctor…"
"I'm just tired, today has been a long day and it's just hard seeing River like that. It makes it too real," he admitted as Clara sat down beside him and stared at him for a moment. "The first time I met River, she died," he blurted out as shock covered her face. "We're back to front, River's firsts are my lasts and vice versa and I watched as she sacrificed herself for me so we could have our relationship and the more I see her, the worse it feels knowing that I let her die," he explained before shaking his head and running his fingers through his hair.
"So she's dead but not dead?" Clara asked as he nodded slowly. "So we saw a dead River earlier and you just went to see a live River," she whispered, trying to get her head around the whole time travel thing. "This time travel stuff is a nightmare sometimes," she declared before standing up and turning to face him. "Jammy Dodgers," she suggested quickly as he nodded and laughed, following her down the corridors towards the kitchen. "So how's River?"
"Heavily pregnant," he blurted out as shock covered her face at his announcement. So he was married and about to become a father?
"You're going to be a dad?" Clara asked as she reached up and removed a packet of his favourite biscuits from the cupboard as the Doctor sat down and nodded at her question.
"She's actually pregnant! My wife is pregnant with a real Time Lord baby," he declared in excitement before shaking his head and laughing. "I'm going to be a dad Clara! I'm going to be a father!"
"Well if you're going to be a dad Doctor you need to learn not to get tricked by kids. I can't believe you fell for their tricks," Clara smirked, remembering the Doctor walking around her house with a blindfold around his eyes after the kids had tricked him.
"I am amazing with children Clara Oswald and River won't be tricked so easily by children. She knows when people are lying," the Doctor smiled as Clara nodded, not surprised by his comment. "A baby," he laughed before shaking his head again. "I'm actually going to be a dad."

Stepping out of the TARDIS after dropping Clara back with the two kids she was caring for, the doctor smiled at an earlier version of his wife who was curled up on her bed with her arms around her stomach. Unlocking the door, he slowly crept inside before sitting down on the edge of her bed, smiling when she glanced up at him and forced a smile onto her face before sitting up and wrapping her arms around him.
"How long have I been gone?" he whispered as she shut her eyes and relaxed into his hold. "River," he whispered.
"Two months," she muttered before glancing up at him. "I have to tell you something, I have to tell you something amazing," she whispered as he smiled, realising that he was back where he was supposed to be. He wasn't too early and he wasn't too late, he was exactly where he was supposed to be.
"Tell me River," he said in amazement as she found his hand and led it to her stomach before biting into her lip.
"I'm pregnant," she blurted out as he nodded and leant forward to kiss her, the woman slowly responding before pulling away. "Are you happy Doctor?" she quickly asked as he looked down at her stomach before resting her back against the cushions. "We weren't planning this, are you okay with this?" she questioned as he nodded and slowly began to pull her t-shirt up as she shut her eyes and felt his lips against her stomach. "Doctor are you happy with this? We're having a baby and well, we're not the most domestic of couples."
"River Song, I am so excited about this baby I promise," he admitted as he looked up at her in amazement. "This baby is our impossible baby and I can't wait," he declared, pressing his lips to her stomach again before sitting up and glancing towards the cell doors. "Our impossible baby."
"Let's get out of here for a little while Doctor. I've been locked up for two whole months practically and could do with a break," she suggested as he nodded, the two of them standing up before approaching the TARDIS and walking inside the safety of their home before he moved the TARDIS away from Stormcage, glad to get his wife away from the prison he'd practically put her in.
"What do you want to do?" he asked, not surprised when she began to lead him towards their bedroom. Entering the dark room silently, River smiled at the familiar scenery before relaxing back on the bed and staring up at him. "I still can't believe we're starting a family," the Time Lord said in amazement before kicking his shoes off and relaxing into the space beside her. "River Song, you're having a baby."
"Doctor, I'm having your baby," she smirked before leaning across and kissing him. "I didn't think it was possible. I never thought we'd have children," she admitted as he nodded in agreement.
"I didn't think it was possible but River Song I never thought you were possible either and yet here we are," the Doctor explained as he stared at her in amazement.
"What are we going to do Doctor?" she questioned.
"How do you mean?" he asked as she shut her eyes for a moment.
"Doctor, I'm in prison and you're a time traveller," she explained as he sat up and stared down at her. "We're not exactly parent material. I can't keep our baby with me in Stormcage, they'd take our baby away from me and we'd never see our child Doctor. Oh god, what are we doing having a baby? We can't be parents," she immediately blurted out, panic covering her face as she sat up and rested her hands on her stomach. "We can't have this baby, we can't be parents."
"River we'll work it out," the Doctor promised before pressing a kiss to her forehead, desperate to keep her calm. He knew that they had this baby; he'd seen her eight months pregnant and happy but he also knew that anything could change! "River Song we're going to work this out, I'm going to keep this safe."
"You'd have to keep the baby, I can't have our child in Stormcage. I can't risk them taking our baby away from us Doctor," she declared before kissing him, her eyes shutting as he relaxed back and brought her close. "I hear them talking sometimes when they think I'm asleep. The moment they found out I was pregnant they were planning on what they'd do with our child. I know they won't let me have our baby there Doctor! I'm a murderer, I killed the Doctor, and somehow I managed to sneak out and get myself pregnant."
"River calm down, it's going to be okay," the Doctor begged, noticing how distressed she was getting at the thought of someone taking their baby away like they'd done to her as a child. They had two threats, Stormcage taking their baby and the Silence doing the same! He didn't know whether River had thought of the latter but he was concerned now with the threats facing them and their child!
"Are we being stupid? Even attempting to have this baby," she whispered as he shook his head.
"This is our impossible child River Song, everything's going to be fine. I won't let anyone hurt either of you," he declared as she buried her face into his chest. "River, you have to trust me now."
"I do, I always trust you," she promised before yawning. "Our impossible child, I like that."
Your response to my first chapter was amazing and it was all fantastic to read. I hope you enjoy this chapter as well and continue to review, I got more reviews that I was expecting to receive and now I'm really desperate to write the story instead of revise which is terrible.
