Summary: He took her to her sister's wedding (yet another doctor's wife).
He grinned, twirling his Pond in an approximation of a waltz. She laughed at the imperfect movement, ducking to avoid a collision. Across from him, River in Rory's arms shook her head as she guided her father's gaze back on her. He winked and turned right.
Lauren Pond (Williams) was not the same little girl he remembered visiting from time to time. Now smiling as she leaned against her wife (Doctor Sion Evans), she reminded him of a younger Amy (another ginger).
"She looks happy," he murmured. Amy nodded against him. They were swaying now, her head tucked against his shoulder.
"Yes, Lauri and her doctor." She laughed again, her words lost in the wool of his tuxedo.
He had had this feeling before (the night they refused to speak about Space 1969); at nine-hundred-and-thirty-five, he paused. "Fish fingers and custard, eh Pond?"
She understood (she always did). "Fish fingers and custard."
"What's he saying to her?" Rory asked, almost turned around.
"Oh Dad, it's nothing." He sighed as he steered them around an elderly couple. "You worry too much."
She thought of her own wedding then (abrupt and bewildering, the satin smooth on her fingers as they stood together).
