"Amy, it's time to wake up." She rolled over in bed and looked at her watch. 10:07. She sat up and pulled the blanket around her.

"Why?" She turned and looked at Rory. 1938 suited him well. He looked like he had lived in this time for his entire life.

"I have to go to work and I don't want you to stay in bed all day like I know you've been doing for the past three months."

"What else could I do?"

"I don't know Amy," He grabbed her hands and started to pull her out of the bed, "Why don't you go for a walk? We live right next to the park."

She stood up and walked into the closet putting on a clean dress and some shoes. She walked to the dresser and brushed through her hair. He grabbed her hand and they walked out of their building together.

"Thank you." He bent over and kissed her and then left her to go to the park. She looked back at the building seriously considering going back inside and waiting for Rory to come back.

It had been three months since they had found themselves in the twentieth century and she still woke up some days expecting to be in their home or on the Tardis. It hurt waking up to see the New York skyline.

She took a deep breath and stepped out in the park. It was the end of summer and the leaves were just beginning to turn colors. She walked down several paths, avoiding as many people as she possibly could.

She didn't stop until she found the dock. It was small and quiet. No one ever came here and she could hardly hear anything other than the birds.

It was the most peaceful place she had been in months. She sat down with her legs crossed in front of her and stared out at the water.


"Amelia are you coming?" John said pulling the red head out of the Tardis after she didn't leave when the rest of the group had.

He pulled her outside, the wind was blowing harshly and the snow hit her face. She grabbed the thick jacket she had taken from the wardrobe and wrapped it tightly around her. "John, aren't you freezing?"

She looked up at the man who was only wearing a thin jacket. "Nah, we're almost there anyway."

"Almost where?" He pulled her around the corner and up the steps of a well sized house. River, Rory, and Jack, who had been waiting by the mail box, followed quickly behind them. He knocked on the door and took a step back and the door was opened almost instantly.

"Oh my gosh it's freezing! Get in here. Out of all the days in December you choose today. Hurry all of you, quickly get in." Martha ushered the group into her house.

The group of five quickly filed into the room. Jack gave Martha a peck on the cheek as they walked in. "Well then, let's have some tea. Mickey!" Mickey walked in carrying a tray filled with tea cups.

"Right so John here's yours, Amy, Rory, River, and Jack." She handed them each specific cups all made with different amounts of sugar and cream.

"How do you know I wanted two sugars?" Rory said looking over at the strange woman who somehow knew who he was.

"That's how you took it last time." Martha stood up and took the tray back to the kitchen.

"Martha we're you expecting us?" Jack said drinking down his tea, finally getting warmer.

"You told us to, so here we are. I haven't been very patient though. You can ask Mickey I had a countdown and everything."

Mickey nodded. "She's more excited about this than she is about Christmas tomorrow."

"It's Christmas Eve?" John said speaking up for the first time since they had entered the house. Mickey nodded. John stood up from where he had been sitting. "Martha, Mickey I don't know how long it has been since you have seen me but I haven't seen you in years." He grabbed them both in his arms and kissed them both on the heads.

"Well, you told us to remind you that everyone needs a good night sleep and that you can't keep running on empty like this. Come on we've prepared your rooms." Martha grabbed John's hand and led him and the group upstairs.

"Alright," Mickey said walking down the hallway, "In this room we have Rory and Amy," he pushed the door open, "across from them we have River, then down here we have Jack, and finally here we have John's room."

Amy walked into their room and a smile grew on her face. "It's perfect! It looks just like our room!" She ran over to the bed and jumped onto it.

"I had a while to get it ready for you, eight months to be exact." Martha beamed at how happy Amy looked, "I asked you if you wanted anything for Christmas when I would see you in the future and this is what you asked me for. Jack on the other hand…"

"Look at how brilliant this is. Martha Jones you are amazing." Jack picked her up and swung her around and then went back to his room that was full of all of his favorite junk foods and movies.

River walked into her room and on the pillow tied nicely was a brilliant blue bowtie. "He left that for you." Martha said coming up behind her. "He said you'd know what he meant by it, but just in case he also gave me this. She handed her a small piece of paper that simply had, "See you soon sweetie. And don't forget to bring the bowtie, xxx your husband."

She wrapped the piece of fabric around her hand and then turned around and gave Martha a large hug. "Thank you. Thank you so much." She pulled back and wiped a tear away from her face.

"I have to go check on John. Give him his present."

"Yes go, and thank you Martha, really this means so much to all of us. Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas."
