Your response has been amazing, thank you and I adore hearing from you so please keep on reviewing.
"It's okay Mrs Green, I'm sure she'll be perfectly fine," Clara smiled as she held the small baby in her arms and smiled up at the older woman who was watching her daughter nervously. "I know it's difficult for the first time but she'll be fine and if anything happens, I'll call you but you deserve a night out," Clara promised as she nodded and moved to collect her coat and moved towards her waiting husband. "Have a good night you two, we'll be fine," Clara smiled before the couple slowly walked out of the house, Clara smiling as the door opened a few moments later to reveal a nervous looking Doctor. "Hello Doctor," Clara smiled, rocking the baby in her arms as the Doctor shut the door behind him and slowly approached her before staring down at the small child in Clara's arms. "This is Lucy."
"Hello Lucy," the Doctor smiled as Clara watched him silently. "Can I hold her?" he asked quietly as the brunette nodded and slowly passed Lucy over the man who quickly held her in his arms and smiled. He'd clearly done this before, he didn't seem nervous or awkward holding the small child and that interested her. "Finally, a child who likes the bow tie. I'm going to like you Lucy; you are going to be amazing. What do you think of a fez? I haven't got one at the moment because River keeps shooting them," he smirked as Clara's eyebrows rose before they slowly moved towards the living room.
"Doctor, where did you get that idea that she likes the bow tie from?" Clara immediately responded as he smiled across at her as she collapsed onto the couch and stared up at him.
"She told me, I speak baby after all. I am an expert in all languages," the Doctor responded before rocking Lucy gently and sitting down. "I'm having a baby Miss Lucy," he smiled down at the child as Clara watched in amazement. "Well I'm not having the baby; my wife is having a baby. River my wife is going to have a little baby which is our baby, hers and mine," he blurted out as Clara shook her head and sat up properly. "See I can do this, I can look after a baby without anything dangerous happening like kidnappings or cybermen or alien invasions," he announced, knowing that Clara had arranged this to make sure that he could deal with children before his own baby arrived! She believed him to be awkward when dealing with people and she'd be concerned about him and babies!
"You're actually surprising me Doctor," Clara admitted before standing up and moving towards the door. "I'm going to go and get pizza, look after Lucy for me. I should only be gone for half an hour anyway so you won't get into too much trouble," she smirked as horror covered the Doctor's face as he stood up and moved towards her with Lucy in her arms. "What type of pizza do you want?"
"Cheese," he responded before shaking his head, knowing that he'd been distracted. "You can't just leave me with someone's baby, I don't know them and you're planning on leaving me with their baby. Clara you're supposed to be a responsible adult," the Doctor panicked as he chased her towards the front door as the brunette grabbed her coat and walked out of the door before shutting it. "Typical," the Doctor muttered before smiling down at the cheerful baby in his arms. "I guess it's just you and me," he sighed before a knock at the door rang through the corridor. Smiling down at Lucy, he slowly approached the door and opened it before staring at the woman who was standing there. "River," he said in amazement.
"Hello sweetie," she smiled before stepping towards him and glancing down at the child he was holding. "You haven't stolen a baby as your new companion have you sweetie because their parents probably won't be impressed?" she questioned as he shook his head and watched River's smile grow as she continued to stare at the small child in his arms. "She's beautiful," she admitted before shaking her head and glancing up at her husband. "Going to invite me in off the street any time soon?" she asked as he nodded and nervously stepped out of the way, allowing her to walk down the corridor before he shut the door and followed her into the living room where she quickly relaxed into the corner of the sofa. "So what have we done now?" River asked as the Doctor rested Lucy in her cot before sitting down beside his wife.
"You, Mrs Doctor, told me that you were pregnant the last time we met," he stated, knowing she was happy with his answer when she leant across and kissed him, a moan leaving his lips as he slowly moved his hands to rest on her back as she began to straddle his body. "We're babysitting," he whispered as she shrugged and began to kiss him. "River Song we're going to parents, we need to be responsible around children," he declared as she pulled away and stared at him in amazement. Did he really just say that? Did her Doctor really just say that they needed to be responsible?
"You're the least responsible person I know Doctor," she stated before she moved off his lap and curled up into the corner of the couch. "Twelve weeks now," she admitted as he glanced down at her stomach. "I was thinking that next time we see each other we could get a scan. It would be nice to know whether our baby has two hearts or not."
"I'd like that," he smiled before they both fell silent for a moment, both contemplating how their lives were going to change with the arrival of their baby. They were actually having a baby! "How are you River?" he asked quickly, clearly concerned as she rested her hand on her stomach.
"Morning sickness is a bitch," she said simply before they both laughed. "But everything else is okay. I'm feeling fine except for the whole vomiting thing."
"Are you going to stay for dinner?" he asked as she shook her head and stood up before moving across to the cot, staring down at the sleeping child in amazement as he watched her from the sofa. She seemed so happy, so peaceful surrounded by the small child and he was excited to see her with their baby. "Why can't you stay for dinner? You've only just arrived," he moaned as she laughed and turned to face him.
"Because I need to get back to Stormcage, I'm not even supposed to be here tonight but I wanted to see you," River stated as he walked towards her.
"River Song since when did you care about being in Stormcage and deadlines?" he asked as his eyebrows rose in amusement. What had happened to his wife?
"Since I found out I was pregnant and decided I should probably try and behave to keep us all safe. You're supposed to be dead, this baby is going to be part Time Lord at least and I'm in prison, it's not exactly the safest of situations," she explained before kissing him again, not wanting to let him go. She wanted to stay even though she knew it wasn't possible.
"Stay for dinner, we're having pizza," he whispered against her lips as she shook her head and stepped away from him before forcing a smile onto her face. Glancing down at her vortex manipulator in silence, River bit into her lip before she began to put in the co-ordinates for Stormcage as he watched her. "River," he began as she glanced up at him before smiling and pressing the button, disappearing out of sight just as he began to say something. Groaning, the Doctor sighed before the front door open and Clara's familiar voice called out his name.
"I got the pizza," the young woman smiled as she entered the living room and placed the pizza box on the coffee table before glancing down at Lucy, smiling at how peaceful the small child was. "I'm surprised to find you here with no aliens and with Lucy still asleep," she admitted.
"I'm just brilliant Clara," he smiled before lounging back on the sofa while Clara rolled her eyes at him. "Clara you're good with children…" the Doctor muttered as she shrugged before sitting down beside him before pulling the pizza box onto her lap as the Doctor watched her.
"What do you want Doctor?" she immediately asked, noticing the nervous look that was covering his face now.
"What's good for morning sickness?" he questioned as she laughed.
"Oh Doctor, she's got you whipped hasn't she?" Clara smirked as confusion covered the Doctor's face.
"River's never whipped me, why would she whip me?" he blurted out as she shook her head at him.
"Doctor…" she began.
"Now handcuffs, that's a completely different story," he quickly added with a large smile as shock quickly replaced the amusement that had covered the young woman's face a few moments early.
"Doctor," she moaned, suddenly feeling ill.
XOXOXOXOXOXOX
Opening her eyes slowly, River groaned as she ran her fingers across her stomach before glancing down at the floor. Sitting up, she quickly reached down and lifted the TARDIS blue box off the floor before resting it on the bed and removing the lid, knowing that it could only be from one particular person, well alien!
"Oh sweetie," River smiled as she slowly lifted out the bottle of ginger ale and crackers that filled the box as well as an envelope. Opening it quickly, she quickly unfolded the piece of paper before staring down at his scribbled writing.
River,
I asked my resident baby expert for morning sickness cures and these apparently are brilliant!
If they don't work however, I'll try other planets ideas too. This is only Earth after all!
The Doctor
(Also what does it mean if I'm whipped?)
I personally don't like this chapter very much but yeah, it was the best I could do and it's more of a filler chapter than anything else.
Please review, I love hearing from you and any ideas you have that you might want to read would be brilliant!
