Part 4

The woman who married the Doctor

It was the day when time froze and all of history happened at the same time. This was the day of the wedding of River Song.

River knew of course that it wasn't her fault. It was Madam Kovarian and the Silence who brainwashed her, put her into the space suit and forced her to kill the Doctor. But she couldn't. It was her love for him that ripped time apart. She didn't regret anything. Everything she did, she did it for him. He fixed it all anyway and how he did.

The Doctor had a clever plan to escape death again. Until that day River had never thought that she would really marry the Doctor one day and of course not that their wedding would save him and the whole reality.

When he appeared in the Pyramid and touched her time continued but she struggled hard.

River knew she had messed up time but still she couldn't allow it to go on because it would mean the Doctor would die by her hand.

"Am I the woman who married you or the woman who murdered you?"

"Oh, I don't wanna marry you."

"And I don't want to murder you."

She, too, had a plan. On top of the Pyramid they stood in a whole different, totally messed up reality with the whole universe there to help him. But that impossible man just accepted that he had to die, that the universe was better off without him. Only she hadn't and she never would accept it.

At this point she couldn't be the cool, tough River she used to be most of the time because she didn't want to let the Doctor see her broken since it would also break his hearts.

This time was different. His life was at stake. Her eyes were watering. She couldn't hold back her feelings; she had to let him know that she loved him with all her heart and she couldn't let him die because it would kill her, too.

She may have been selfish at this point but she didn't care either.

With her confession she made the Doctor run out of arguments, not many could say to be capable to do so.

Then he did that incredible thing without even asking her (there was no time for formalities of course). It was a very short form of a gallifreyan wedding ceremony but still it made her heart and mind race and she couldn't quite believe it when he said they were married now.

However, the big surprise came when he revealed his plan to her, when she looked into his eye and saw the miniature Doctor inside.

At this moment she knew why she loved this man so much.

It was so true. As she had said to her father, he was clever and mad and wonderful, who else should she had fallen in love with?

"You may kiss the bride."

And what a kiss it was. Time continued. This was just his style, fixing reality with a kiss.

Everyone believed him dead now but she knew better. She had to go to prison for killing the man she loved and she was okay with that. He was alive, she would see him again and they will travel the universe and go on adventures together. On top of all, she was the woman who married the Doctor.

It was raining. She had to get used to it because what else was to expect from Stromcage. It was her first day there and it already started to get boring. But she was ok with it. She knew that she wasn't guilty. Her Doctor was alive and she was his wife. It was worth the twelve thousand condemned life sentences imprisoned. So, to find something to do she took out the tardis-blue book the Doctor gave her and started to think what to write into it.

Suddenly there was a different noise beneath the cracking thunderstorm of Stormcage. A strange wheezing sound. River looked up. It was a very familiar sound and her heart started to race faster. She jumped up from her bed to see the blue phone box materialize in front of her cell.

The Doctor stepped out and soniced her cell door open.

It was their first night together, their so called wedding night and she was very excited to see what he had in store for her first date with him. So it looked like her nights in prison won't be that boring at all. She would put all her nights with him, all their adventures in the book he told her to use as a diary.

She could do nothing than admire him when he explained her where they were going with such excitement and glee.

She hadn't expected him to be so romantic as he told her that he would take her to watch the stars with her. She didn't show it much but she was really excited to sit with him under a night sky lit by more stars than anywhere else in the universe.

But their date started in a very odd way; she already knew that being married to the Doctor wouldn't be simple. Something was going on while she was away in the wardrobe to dress for the occasion, she heard him talking to someone but he assured her that he was alone. When she came back for the third time she could see another Doctor leaving the TARDIS. But that wasn't what worried her the most. It was the expression on his face when he couldn't answer her question what the other version of him had been doing there. He smiled at her but she could tell that it wasn't honest and that something was troubling him. This was the difficult part of their relationship. They could never tell each other everything. There would always be secrets between them. The secret of their futures.
