A/N: Thought I'd update quickly so I didn't leave you all in the lurch :)
I don't think you'll be expecting what happens next; I don't think any of you guessed correctly, teehee :')
Enjoy!
There was no movement and no sound after Rory's outburst that the Doctor was going to propose to Amy. The guests were frozen, the music was paused, and it was almost as if time had stopped. The Doctor wished that time had stopped, so he could think about what to say.
Unfortunately for him, time almost never froze, and he realised that everyone was waiting for him to speak, including Amy.
"Well, this isn't how I pictured it." The Doctor muttered to himself, looking at the ring box he was holding to avoid everyone's gaze.
Everyone remained silent.
The Doctor sighed, and raised his head reluctantly to scan the faces surrounding him. He noticed that all of the guests wore the same, expectant expression, including Rory and Hannah.
He saved the best face for last, and his eyes finally met Amy's.
He was stunned when he saw her grinning, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes!" Amy yelled suddenly, startling the guests beside her.
The Doctor blinked. "Yes?" He repeated, bewildered.
"Yes, I'll marry you!" She cried, and she hurtled towards him. The Doctor barely had time to react before her legs were around his waist and her lips were on his.
Rory, Hannah and their wedding guests exploded into cheers and whistles, and the Doctor broke the kiss. "I haven't even asked you yet!" He told Amy, a grin spreading across his face.
"Doesn't matter!" Amy replied, beaming. "I've already said yes. Now, give me my ring mister!"
Laughing, the Doctor placed her on her feet and slid down on one knee in front of her. "Am I doing this right?" He asked her as he slipped the ring onto her finger.
"It's perfect." Amy whispered, her eyes welling up with tears. "We're perfect."
The Doctor rose to his feet, and Amy wrapped her arms around him. "I've been waiting for you to propose to me for ages!" She confessed. "I found the ring in your pocket a couple of months ago."
Shaking his head, the Doctor clasped his arms around her waist. "I should have known that it's impossible to hide anything from you." He remarked, his tone full of pride. "That's my Pond."
Amy laughed, but before she could kiss him again, she found herself encased in Rory's arms. "This is brilliant!" He cried, embracing her tightly. "I'm so happy for you Amy! Who knew the Kissogram from Leadworth would finally settle down?"
"Hey, I can't believe you settled down. I thought I was the only one for you, Rory Williams." Amy said teasingly, hugging him back.
Rory pulled back to grin at her. "Keep telling yourself that Pond." He replied playfully. "Or should I say…Mrs Doctor!"
"Mrs Pond." The Doctor corrected him, popping up beside them. "Amy's last name is magnificent, and I won't let her change it. Besides, I don't even have a last name. Surnames are boring…unless your surname is Pond, of course."
"And Williams." Hannah added, joining them. "Don't forget that surname."
The Doctor wrinkled his nose, which made all of them laugh.
"The powerful Ponds and the wonderful Williams." Rory mused. "That's what they'll call our families. I can imagine little Ponds and Williams running around Leadworth."
The Doctor, who had just taken a swig of water, spat it out, narrowly avoiding saturating Hannah's wedding dress. "You mean little Ponds…as in…children?" He asked, shocked.
"Of course! What do you think happens next after marriage?" Hannah asked him, struggling to hide her smile at the Doctor's astonishment.
"I don't know…but I never really thought about having children again." The Doctor said slowly, his face void of all emotion. Amy squeezed his hand comfortingly, seeing the Doctor's pain, despite his attempt to conceal it from them.
"Again?" Rory repeated in bewilderment, and Amy shook her head at him, not wanting to upset the Doctor by asking him about his past.
Rory understood her silent plea, and tactfully changed the subject. "So Doctor, I believe you owe us our wedding present. I haven't forgotten that, you know!"
The Doctor's grin returned. "I knew that you wouldn't."
"What wedding present?" Amy and Hannah asked at the same time, narrowing their eyes suspiciously at their partners.
"The last time we saw Rory, I promised him that I'd take him and Hannah for a few trips in the TARDIS as a wedding present." The Doctor told them.
"You knew we were going to get married, all of those months ago?" Hannah asked him in awe. "Wow."
"If you think that's amazing, just wait until you see the TARDIS!" The Doctor exclaimed excitedly. "Let's go."
"But we can't leave yet…it's our wedding reception." Rory reminded him, gesturing to the guests dancing around them.
"So? We can leave now, you can travel with us for as long as you want, and then I'll drop you back here five minutes after this moment. No one will notice your absence." The Doctor assured him. "Now, are you coming?"
"Do you even have to ask?" Hannah laughed, grabbing Rory's hand and following Amy and the Doctor out of the hall.
~I~
Hannah's reaction to the TARDIS was just how the Doctor had wanted Rory to react, the first time he had taken him onto the TARDIS.
"This is…oh my God!" Hannah breathed, looking around in awe. "I can't even find the words to describe it!"
The Doctor watched her smugly, enjoying her reaction to his beloved ship. "Yep, she's pretty magnificent, isn't she?"
"I can't even…" Hannah trailed off as she approached the console, and she stared down at all of the gadgets in amazement.
"See Rory, this is how you were supposed to react when you saw the TARDIS for the first time." The Doctor remarked, bounding up to the console and swatting Hannah's hand away from the zigzag plotter.
Rory rolled his eyes, and glanced over at Amy, who was admiring her engagement ring.
Amy felt his gaze, and turned to look at him. "Nice, isn't it?" She smirked, holding up her hand to flaunt her ring under Rory's nose.
"Nice?" They heard the Doctor splutter. "Pond, your ring is the only piece of jewellery in the Universe with a saptimic stone. Nice doesn't even cover it!"
"Alright Mr Finicky." Amy said, grinning as she skipped over to him to kiss him on the cheek.
"Doctor…what are we going to do about sleeping arrangements?" Rory asked him, looking uncomfortable. "I mean…Hannah and I are on our Honeymoon…"
"Ah yes!" The Doctor exclaimed, clapping his hands together. "My dear ship has prepared the honeymoon suite for you two."
Those were the only words Rory needed, for he grabbed Hannah's hand and began to yank her up the console stairs.
The Doctor rose his eyebrows at their impatience, and Amy called, "Be safe kids!" as their friends ascended up the stairs.
Once they'd disappeared from sight, the Doctor turned to the console and pushed a couple of levers, muttering under his breath about how newlyweds should concentrate more on their honeymoon and less on each other.
Amy watched him manoeuvre the TARDIS for a couple of minutes, but she soon grew bored. "So, where's our Suite?" She asked the Doctor, grinning when he shot her a confused look.
"Our suite?" The Doctor echoed, pressing the autopilot button on the console.
"Yeah. We need to celebrate too." Amy told him teasingly, beginning to back away towards the console stairs. "Is there an engagement suite around here somewhere?"
A slow smile began to stretch across the Doctor's face. "As a matter of fact, there is. Why, are you in need of one, fiancée?"
Amy's eyes lit up at the term, and she tried to withhold a girlish squeal, but failed.
The Doctor laughed at her delight of being referred to as his fiancée, and he encased her in his arms when she threw herself at him, sending them both crashing to the TARDIS floor.
"Actually…who needs a suite when we're already down here?" Amy murmured from above him.
Before the Doctor could reply, Amy's lips were on his.
~I~
One thing that Hannah and Rory had yet to know about the Doctor…he was impatient. But they soon found out that fact when he began to bang loudly on their door the following day.
"Are you two still alive?" The Doctor yelled through the door, still banging on it frantically.
He heard Rory mutter something, before Hannah called, "Yep! We're still alive!"
The Doctor heaved a sigh of relief. "Good. You've both been in there for twenty hours; I was starting to get worried. Do you think you'll be leaving the room anytime in the near future?"
Hannah giggled, and Rory yelled, "Maybe…maybe not," before he joined Hannah in her laughter.
"You humans." The Doctor muttered, rolling his eyes. "You're like rabbits."
That remark did nothing to stop the newlywed couple from laughing.
The Doctor cleared his throat, and yelled, "Well, could you stop your newlywed activities and come out? I've landed on one of the most romantic planets in the universe, and I think you'd like to see it."
"Give us thirty minutes!"
"Thirty!" The Doctor exclaimed, shocked. "That's too long! What am I supposed to do in thirty minutes?"
"Can't you and Amy find something to do?" Rory suggested, and Hannah sniggered.
The Doctor ignored his innuendo. "It will take you two five minutes to get changed. If you're not ready by then, I'm coming in." He warned them, and he was pleased when the couple were silent.
"Really?" Rory asked in disbelief.
"Yep. So please refrain from your…activities…I don't wish to see that in five minutes, thank you." The Doctor replied, shuddering at the thought of seeing something he didn't wish to see.
"Alright, alright, we're coming!" Hannah cried hastily, and the Doctor smirked, pleased that he had gotten his way.
"Good. I thought you would."
~I~
Rory and Hannah kept to their word: they were dressed and in the console room in four minutes and thirty-one seconds…the Doctor had counted. They had even beat Amy down.
Rory was annoyed when he found out that they had to wait for Amy to join them. "Why did you hurry us out of our room when Amy is still in yours?" He demanded, frowning at the Doctor.
"Because you two are unpredictable." The Doctor replied, flicking a few switches on the TARDIS console. "If I'd left you two in there for more than five minutes, who knows what could have happened?"
Hannah giggled at that, and Rory's frown faded, seeing his new wife's amused smile.
"You kids waiting for me?" Amy called to them as she descended down the console room stairs.
"Who? Us? Never." The Doctor said playfully, grinning as his fiancée bounded over to him. "We were going to take off without you."
"Liar." Amy chuckled, greeting the Doctor with a kiss on the cheek, before turning to face the newlyweds. "How's the honeymoon so far?" She asked them, her smile almost a smirk.
"Perfect." Rory replied, beaming at her. "Absolutely perfect."
"What can I say? I'm just great at giving out wedding gifts." The Doctor remarked, to which Amy rolled her eyes at.
"Alright you, get out of here before your head grows too large." Amy said, giving him a playful shove towards the TARDIS doors. "Don't you have the most romantic place in the universe to show us?"
"That I do." The Doctor nodded, opening the TARDIS doors and stepping outside. "Now, take a look at this!"
Amy followed him out of the door, and Rory and Hannah followed after them apprehensively. Rory still hadn't forgotten his experience with the Bizzicles, which had almost scarred him for life.
But he was pleasantly surprised when he saw where they were. They were standing on a golden, sandy beach that overlooked a purple, clear sea. Diamond palm trees surrounded them, and the air smelled of fresh flowers. There were two suns on either side of them, which were both rising, brightening the lilac sky.
None of them could picture a more romantic setting. Rory shuffled closer to Hannah, and the Doctor stepped closer to Amy so he could wrap his arm around her shoulders. Amy slipped her arm around his waist, and they began to walk towards the trees.
"Where are you two going?" Rory called, but Amy and the Doctor didn't reply.
Shaking his head in amusement, Rory took Hannah's hand and followed after them.
"Do you think we look like that?" Hannah whispered to her husband a few minutes later, as they were walking through the forest of diamond trees.
Rory turned his attention to Amy and the Doctor, and began to watch them. They were walking together, hip to hip, his arm around her shoulders, and her arm around his waist. Their heads were tilted towards each other, and occasionally they'd stop walking to kiss each other. They looked as if they wished they were walking towards their bedroom instead of walking through the forest.
Rory smiled at the content couple, and looked at his wife. "I think we do. We all have that glow."
Hannah nodded in agreement, before snuggling closer into his side.
It wasn't long before the Doctor stopped, and he sat down under the shade of one of the trees. Amy plopped down immediately onto his lap, and much to Rory's distaste, the two began to kiss each other.
"Can't you two go and do that somewhere else?" Rory asked them, sitting down beside them.
"Hey, you didn't have to follow us." Amy told him, without taking her eyes away from the Doctor.
"I'm sorry, but I can't help it." The Doctor added, his gaze locked on Amy. "The island's air works as an aphrodisiac."
"That's great, but why has it only affected you and Amy?" Rory questioned.
"Technically, it's only affected me. It doesn't work on humans." The Doctor corrected him.
"But you shouldn't need the air Rory." Amy said, turning her head to wink at him. "You are on your honeymoon, after all."
Before Rory could reply, Amy and the Doctor attacked each other again.
Hannah took a seat beside Rory, and politely turned her gaze to the surroundings. Rory however, shook his head at Amy and the Doctor.
"Get a room you two!" He exclaimed, his tone half teasing, half serious. "I don't want to watch you two go at it, thank you very much."
"Stop watching then." Amy replied simply, tilting her head back so the Doctor had better access to her neck.
"But there isn't anything else to watch." Rory said with a sigh. "The landscape's a bit monotonous."
The Doctor disentangled himself from Amy momentarily to stare in bewilderment at him. "Monotonous? I've brought you to the prettiest place in the Universe!"
"Yeah, it's pretty, but it's all the same. I can only stare at diamond trees for so long." Rory muttered.
"Go home then." Amy murmured distractedly, her attention back on the Doctor as she threaded her fingers through his hair.
"I would, but the Doctor's the only one who can fly the TARDIS and he's occupied." Rory said dryly.
"Occupied with keeping my fiancée happy." The Doctor replied, slipping his hands under Amy's shirt and tracing random patterns on her skin.
"Come on Rory, let's go and pick some of that crystal-looking fruit to eat." Hannah told him, struggling to hide her grin as she pulled him to his feet.
"They're called Pristilinia fruits actually, and they're bred from—"
But Amy, who had pushed the Doctor down onto his back and lay on top of him, saved Hannah from the Doctor's knowledge of alien fruits, and Hannah managed to escape with Rory.
Amy folded her arms on his chest and grinned down at the Doctor. "Save us the history lesson, we're on a honeymoon. Well, it's not ours, but we can treat it like it is."
"Rory and Hannah will be back soon, so I don't think we should behave inappropriately anymore." The Doctor said regretfully, running his fingers up and down Amy's sides.
Amy raised her eyebrow at him. "Doctor, you should give them that lecture. They're not just picking fruit, you know."
The Doctor frowned in confusion. "Where have they gone then?"
"Back down to the beach I guess, maybe looking for a cosy sand alcove or something." Amy replied, unfolding her arms to slide her hands under the Doctor's shirt. "But let's not worry about them. I want you to say the word."
"Word?" The Doctor echoed, still frowning.
Amy bit her lip to hide her smile. "The 'f' word." She whispered, kissing the tip of his nose.
The Doctor realised what she meant, but decided to tease her a bit. "Fruit?"
"You're not very good at this game." Amy chuckled, running her finger over his lips. "Guess again."
"Fiancée." The Doctor murmured, and his reward was a gentle kiss on the lips.
Amy sighed happily. "I love that word. But what I love more is hearing you call me your fiancée."
The Doctor smiled, sharing her bliss. "Well, hearing you refer to me as your fiancée does things to me too." He admitted, running his fingers through her auburn hair.
Amy's eyes danced with anticipation. "Oh really? What kind of things?" She wondered, running one of her hands down his chest towards his belt.
The Doctor rolled Amy over suddenly so that he was the one hovering over her. "Would you like a speech or a demonstration?" He asked playfully, and Amy's instant reaction was crashing her lips to his.
So that was a nice fluffy chapter for you all, God knows you deserved it for all of the wonderful reviews you leave me :D
