"Professor who?" I asked the Doctor.
He turned to me, "River Song. I met her while I was with Donna. In the library. I told you about her, remember?"
I dug through my thoughts. "Wait. She was the one who knew your name?" I gasped.
He sighed unhappily. "Yes."
River chimed in. "Oh sweetie, you don't have to say it like that." She winked at him.
Amy burst in the conversation, "I really do hate to break up your flirting 'River' but our little Doctor here is happily taken."
The Doctor and I both let out a breath of relief, as he wrapped his arm around me protectively.
River stepped towards me, "And who are you exactly?" She sniped.
I stepped forward and got right up to her face. "Leah Parks, time lord."
River wore a confused look on her face. "Time lord?" She turned to the Doctor, "Sweetie, you never mentioned her."
"Oh, I would of definitely mentioned Leah." The Doctor snapped at her, "She is the one person I could never forget."
I sighed and ran off up the stairs, deciding I needed to get OUT of that conversation. River bloody Song can shove it. When I came to a closed wooden door, I knocked on it. "Rory, you in there?"
"Yeah, come in." He said softly.
I opened the door and walked over to where he was sitting on his bed. "What was that all about earlier?"
"Oh that?" He laughed nervously, "That was just me being silly. No need to worry about me. Four."
My eyes widened. "What did you say?"
"Huh? I said don't worry about me."
"But after that. You said four. Four what?"
Rory laughed, "Eight."
I jumped up from where I was sitting on the bed. "Rory what's that suppose to mean?"
"Leah, What are you talking about?" He shook his head, "Twelve."
"Those numbers. Those were the exact same numbers the TARDIS gave me. What do those numbers mean?" Rory was still. "Rory!"
"It's a date."
"You mean, like in time? That would be..." I thought for a second, "Four, eight twelve. That's April the eighth, two thousand twelve."
Rory ran his fingers through his hair frantically. "I-I've said way to much already. I'm so, so sorry." He ran out of the room.
I ran after him. "Rory! Where are you going?" But when I got into the hall, he was nowhere to be found. I jogged down the stairs and into the kitchen, but still no Rory. I interrupted Amy yelling at River. "Did you guys see Rory?"
Amy stared at me, "What? No! Why did he run off?"
"Yeah he did." I said numbly.
River laughed at all of us. "Oh look at that, the time has come!"
The Doctor and I stared at each other, and said simultaneously, "Time for what?"
'Four, eight, twelve." River sang, and teleported off. Immediately after she left, Amy, Jack, the Doctor and I were running hectically around the kitchen.
"Those numbers, before Rory disappeared he told me they were a date."
"That would be April the eighth. Twenty twelve?" The Doctor asked.
"Looks like we need to take a trip." Jack grinned. So we all ran out after the Doctor into the TARDIS, gearing up to face what would be the biggest shock of a lifetime. Of course, we didn't know it at the time. The Doctor and I piloted the TARDIS, and he kept babbling on about the most random subjects.
"So do we even know what place we need to go to?" Amy asked.
"Not a clue. That doesn't help us one little bit." I groaned. Suddenly, every light flickered off in the TARDIS. "Doctor, what happened?"
"I don't have the slightest idea." He moved over by me and took my hand. We all felt a slight wind blow throughout the room.
Total silence fell over the room, when a whisper broke the silence. "Silence. Will. Fall." Two red levers on the console pushed into an upwards position on their own. The TARDIS was piloting herself now. The TARDIS roared with anger. Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, that same image of Rory flashed into my mind. Some unseen force pushed me aggressively to the ground.
The Doctor and Jack both ran over to help me up. The Doctor shot Jack a look that said 'stay back.' Jack obediently backed away. The Doctor slid his arm around me to help me to my feet. "Hey, you alright? What happened?"
"That same image keeps flashing through my head. Your damn TARDIS keeps planting it in my brain."
"Image? Image of what?" Jack asked.
"Rory."
Amy didn't look too pleased. "You better stay away form my husband."
I bursted out laughing. "Oh Amy, you really are funny. I would NEVER look at Rory that way. I sort of have someone else." I smiled at the Doctor, and he squeezed my hand. Amy shot me a nasty glare as the TARDIS landed. The lights returned to normal.
"Silence will fall. What the hell does it mean?" I muttered to myself.
"Where did you take us old girl?" The Doctor whispered to the TARDIS. I grabbed his hand.
"There's only one way to find out." And I dragged him out the door. We all filed out of the TARDIS into a large warehouse. Damp, boring grey walls, lots of boxes and heavy machinery everywhere.
"Does anyone else hear that drumming?" I asked.
"No." The Doctor said slowly.
"I swear if I'm going crazy-"
"No, I mean it's not drumming. It's marching." As the Doctor said that, hundreds of troops came marching around a corner. They all filed to a neat stop.
The head of the group stepped forward. "Please state your name."
"The Doctor." The Doctor said innocently.
Almost immediately, every troop raised and aimed their guns at us.
"Woa, hold the phone!" The Doctor yelled and stepped in front of all of us. "No need to jump the gun there." He laughed and looked back at us. "That was a pun. See I said 'jump the gun' because they're raising their guns at us and-"
"Doctor!" Amy yelled.
"Right! Sorry!" He spun around in a little circle to face the troops. "Now, why do you need to kill us?"
"Orders from River Song, sir."
The Doctor laughed. Well more like grunted. "Why in God's name would she do that?"
"I need to keep you in check sweetie." River Song stepped around a box laying on the ground. She walked right up to the Doctor and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Scared yet?"
"Hardly." The Doctor spat. River then gave him a full on kiss, right on his lips.
I jumped forward. "Leave him alone!" I screamed out in pain and clutched my stomach as I fell to the ground.
The Doctor broke out of River's grasp and ran to me faster then I thought possible. "Leah, Leah what's wrong?" He places his hands on my cheeks.
"I-I, Doctor, I'm so cold." I stammered. He whipped out his sonic and examined me.
He checked his screwdriver and gaped at the results. "No. No that's impossible."
"What the hell is happening!" Jack yelled.
"She's about to give birth."
