Yeah, so this might be a little late. But I have a really good excuse: FINALS are next week. Yes, I am still in school. I know, it sucks. So, whatever, I hope you enjoy!

Mum set her cup on the table and stood up. "I should get going now."

I set my own cup down and stared at the door reluctantly. "Stay for a bit longer?" I begged. "I haven't seen you in months; how am I supposed to know when you'll be coming back?"

Mum stared into my green eyes. "You have his eyes," she said quietly. "His exact shade of green. Like emeralds."

I blinked back tears. "What was he like?"

"He is a handsome, clever, witty, and flirty man. He likes to show off and make himself look clever."

I smiled. "When can I meet him, if the time ever comes to that?"

"When that special time comes, you will be glad I kept you a secret from him this long."

"Wh- he doesn't even know I exist?!"

Mum laughed. "Of course not! How am I supposed to tell him he's a father when he doesn't even know I'm his wife?"

She sucked in her breath and stared at me, terrified. "What did you just say?" I whispered. "He doesn't know you're married?"

"Amelia, our relationship is…very confusing. You see, this is why I never want to talk about him."

"He's still my father!"

"And I'm your mother!" She shouted and sat back down, rubbing her temples. "Amelia, I don't talk about him because he's a dangerous man. Many people who meet him end up either dead, mentally or physically scarred for life. Some leave him for that reason, and others…a few are trapped in an alternate dimension, and one woman…she forgot."

"She…forgot? How can a person just forget?"

"Your father had to completely erase her memories of him. She became a danger to herself. I don't want any of that to happen to you, Amy."

I sat back against the couch and blew a few hairs out of my face. "What was he like?"

Mum smiled. "He was very handsome. And such a flirt! Oh, the fun we had together on our adventures. He saved the world many times in the past."

"Wait." I held my hands up. "You said he erased one girl's mind. How could he do that? And others being trapped in 'alternate dimensions'?"

Mum stared at me for seemed like forever before she answered. "I can't tell you that."

I threw my hands in the air. "How am I supposed to bloody know what he's like if you won't tell me the bloody important things?"

"Amy, you're still a child, I can't-"

"I'm not a child anymore!" I shouted. "You keep treating me like one, but you won't even let me learn anything about my dad, who I now know is still alive!"

"He doesn't know about you!"

"And that's exactly why he will in just a few minutes." I swiped Mum's phone off the table and scrolled through her contacts. "Sweetie?" I asked her. Mum stared at me, her eyes wide open in shock. I took that as a yes and clicked 'call'.

The dial tone rang in my ears until a man's voice picked up. "Yes River?"

I raised my eyes at my mother. "River?" I mouthed. Her name was Melody Pond, not "River". Mum shook her head. "Tell you later," she mouthed back.

"River, I know you're there. What, am I so cool that you're speechless?"

"First of all, I'm not River, I'm Amelia. I'm a…friend…of River's."

"Oh." The man went silent. "Well, if you see River, can you tell her I need to talk to her?"

"Sure. But, actually, I need to tell you something very important."

"What is it?"

"My name is Amelia Melody Pond."

"I have a good friend named Amelia. And I know a Melody very well. Wait, you're a Pond?"

"Yep."

"Who are you, really?" He demanded, sounding a little angry, but also a little scared.

"I'm your daughter."

What a way to end a chapter, right? yeah, I got most of this done this morning. I'm so proud of myself! ^_^ Please review!
