A/N: Hey everyone, I'm sorry that it's been a while - again. You'll be happy to know that my mother is absolutely fine, as her test results came back without anything bad on them. Unfortunately...mine may not. But I will cross that bridge when I get to it.
Apart from life being life, I literally had no motivation to write Amy/11 fanfiction. I couldn't even find inspiration for making an Amy/11 video for my Youtube channel. But when the new S7 filming pictures came out, BOOM. A flood of inspiration. Also, I read some really good Amy/11 fics that simply do not have enough reviews (see my favourites list for the stories), and they helped me too.
You know, I think the Amy/11 fanfics are dying out. Which is sad :( We gotta keep the faith people! I mean, after this story ends, I have more Amy/11 fics planned. Some one-shots, some full-length feature stories, some rated 'T', some rated 'M'. I'm considering writing up brief synopsis' on my profile page for each story to get you readers intrigued :D But I don't know if I will do that, just in case someone steals my ideas. What do you think?
Anyways. Ready for an explosive journey? I am :D
The first thing Amy saw onscreen was a large group of Philians in a space base, that looked no different from the one she was in. There was a staircase at the back of the room, that led up to a set of double doors, and at the sound of movement behind them, the Philians began to buzz excitedly, until one of them barked a sharp command, halting their noise.
Suddenly, the doors exploded, sending debris flying in all directions, but the Philians didn't make a sound, as if they were expecting the destruction.
And then a figure stepped out of the cloud of smoke, flanked by two others. Amy knew who they were immediately, and she couldn't help but feel relief and some kind of joy when she saw the Doctor with River and Jack.
But then she really looked at her husband, and was stunned by the state he was in. His usually smiling face was set into hard lines, and his eyes were cold; dead.
The Philian that had quietened the others stepped out of the crowd, and looked up at him. "Doctor." It said coolly. "I knew we'd see each other again. Welcome."
"Stop with the pleasantries, I'm not in the mood." The Doctor replied sharply, and Amy watched as Jack placed a restraining hand on his shoulder.
"Easy." Jack whispered, and the Doctor held up his hand, silencing him.
"You should have heard by now about my predicament." The Doctor began, glaring down at the Philian leader.
The Philian cocked it's head to the side. "I don't think I have."
"Don't play games with me." The Doctor hissed, beginning to advance down the stairs, River and Jack quickly following him. "Everyone knows by now that my wife has been kidnapped. And you may or may not have something to do with it - I don't care. All I care about is getting her back, and you're going to help me. All of you."
When the Philian made no move to reply, the Doctor walked up to it, staring it down. "You told me, the last time I saw you in the underwater base, to be ready, because there was a war coming." He reminded it coldly. "Now, I'm going to ask you which side of the war you're on. I'd be careful when you respond, as there could be consequences."
The Philian looked unfazed by the danger the Doctor possessed, and met his gaze levelly. "Are you threatening me Doctor?"
"Answer my question!" The Doctor barked, and Amy couldn't help but tear up again, knowing he was masking his devastation with fury. And it broke her heart.
"You didn't ask me anything." The Philian said, and some of the other Philians began to titter, until the Doctor's next words silenced them.
"Don't. Test. Me!" He roared, and many of the Philians backed away. Some were even trembling.
"Then my answer is this Doctor. We are not on your side." The Philian stated, and the Doctor nodded curtly, already expecting the answer, and he turned around, preparing to walk away.
"Jack, River, we're done here."
But the Philian leader wasn't finished. "I heard Amy's five months pregnant now. You must be so proud."
Amy's sharp intake of breath was not the only one to be heard. Both Jack and River froze, and the aliens watching the screen waited with bated breath for the Doctor's reaction.
Slowly, the Doctor turned around, his grey eyes gleaming with hatred. Before he could react, the Philian leader continued.
"Wonderful idea, pregnancy acceleration. Who knows? Maybe the Daleks will be Godparents this time tomorrow."
Amy's hands flew to her stomach protectively, and Antonium winced. "Oh no." He murmured, and Amy could only watch in horror as the Doctor withdrew his sonic screwdriver and aimed it directly at the Philian leader's face.
"Doctor, no!" Jack bellowed, lurching forward, at the same time the Philians gave a war cry and charged forward.
And then the screen went black.
"No!" Amy screamed, but her cry was lost in the sea of raised voices coming from the watching aliens, demanding to know what had just happened.
"Amy, the Doctor will be okay." Antonium said reassuringly, but at Amy's glare, he decided against trying to comfort her.
So they waited in silence for the screen to come back on, Amy trembling in anticipation.
Finally, after what felt like hours, the screen flickered to life, and many of the aliens screamed when they saw the Doctor's face glaring down at them.
"Don't think I can't see you all watching this, because I can!" He thundered, and some of the aliens turned and bolted out of the room in fear. "Do you think you're going to get away with this? I'm coming for my wife, and it's best if you remove yourselves from my way, now."
Suddenly, both River and Jack appeared beside the Doctor, and Jack murmured, "They're dead, Doctor. Except for the leader, who vanished before I could get him."
The Doctor nodded at him, and then turned back to face the screen. And to Amy's surprise - and happiness, his eyes landed on her. "Amy, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for everything." He whispered, and everyone in the chamber turned to look at her.
But Amy ignored them, and gave the Doctor a small smile, knowing that the Doctor couldn't hear them from his side.
"Hold on, I'm coming for you, I swear. Whatever happens, however hard, however far, I will find you." He promised her, his face softening. "I love you Amelia Pond."
"I love you too." She mouthed, her earlier tears returning - this time, they were tears of joy, knowing that he was fine, and on his way, even though she knew he was walking straight into the Dalek's trap. But seeing him so powerful, and so strong...it soothed her. The Doctor was too intelligent for his enemies, and Amy believed that it would be near to impossible for the Doctor to be captured by them and imprisoned in the Pandorica. So now, for the first time, she was hopeful for their future.
"Stay strong. The both of you." The Doctor whispered, his arm outstretched towards her. Amy placed one hand on her bump, and stretched her other arm out towards him too.
Closing his eyes, as if willing himself to do it, the Doctor raised his other arm, the one grasping his sonic screwdriver, and severed the connection between them.
When the screen went blank for a second time, the remaining aliens started an uproar again, and they sounded panicked from what Amy could make out from their jumbled words.
"Can you see why, Amy? Why these aliens want the Doctor dead?" Antonium asked her. "Look at him, look at the threat he possesses. He's the deadliest being in the Universe."
Antonium wasn't surprised when Amy cast her death glare on him again. "He isn't evil!" She snapped, fiercely protective of her husband. "He's just a desperate man searching for his kidnapped, pregnant wife. That's enough to push anyone to the brink."
Antonium seemed to think over her response, before giving her a small nod. "You might be right." He said thoughtfully, and Amy's eyes widened, unable to hide her surprise.
Before she could remark upon it, the Daleks teleported into the chamber, along with the Philian leader that had escaped from the Doctor's clutches.
"Who are the Doctor's companions?" The white Dalek demanded. "Exterminate them!"
"You can't." Antonium answered from inside of Amy's prison chamber, and all of the aliens turned to look at him. "They're two of the most important beings in the Universe, and one of them is invincible."
"They are a threat! They must be exterminated!" The Dalek insisted, and the Philian leader rolled his eyes.
"Why?" He asked, his tone bored. "The Doctor only has two allies now, because the others were taken. So let him keep his current company, as we outnumber them by thousands anyway."
"Others?" Amy murmured to Antonium. "What others?"
Antonium gazed at her for a moment, but then shook his head. "That doesn't matter right now. I'm sorry Amy, but it's time."
Without giving Amy a chance to react, Antonium injected something into her arm, and she passed out into his arms.

On their walk back to the TARDIS from the Philian space base, the Doctor, River and Jack hadn't spoken one word to each other, lost in their own thoughts. As the Doctor was ahead of them, Jack decided to break the tension, so he turned to River, who was walking beside him, and murmured, "Well, that went well."
But the Doctor heard him, and spun around, and both River and Jack were shocked to see him grinning. "Better than you think." He remarked, waving his sonic screwdriver at them.
"Why the smile?" Jack asked him in bewilderment, and the Doctor's smile widened.
"When I sonicked the screen, I got a reading of where the feed was transmitting to." The Doctor told them, and both Jack and River began to smile.
"So you know where Amy is?" River asked him, relieved.
"Not quite, but I know the ship she's on is stationed somewhere in the Earth's atmosphere, positioned over England. I don't know which time era, but it's a start."
"So Amy could be on a spaceship in 1921, or 1673, or 2456, in April, or December, or June." Jack said dryly. "Great."
"It's still a lead, Jack." River said, frowning at him. "Don't take away what little hope he has left."
"Still here you know." The Doctor reminded them, rolling his eyes as they finally arrived at the TARDIS. "Anyway, I'm going to go through the Earth's journals, see if there was any strange activity in the skies. Someone must have noticed a giant spaceship and jotted it's location down somewhere." Then he paused, and tossed his sonic screwdriver to River. "Keep an eye on my sonic while Jack and I research, okay?" At River's nod, the Doctor smiled at her in thanks.
Whistling now, the Doctor strolled into his ship, River and Jack exchanging amused glances as they followed him inside.

When Amy finally awakened, she saw Antonium hovering above her, looking down at her worriedly.
"How far along this time?" Amy asked him quietly, without breaking eye-contact with him.
"Eight and a half months." He whispered, and Amy closed her eyes again. "They couldn't accelerate the pregnancy any further than that."
That brought Amy some relief, as that gave the Doctor two weeks to find her until she gave birth to their daughter. Maybe...just maybe...he would find her in time for them to witness the birth of their first child, together.
"Amy, please don't go back to sleep again. We need to go." Antonium said, and Amy's eyes flew open.
"Go where? Are you taking me to the Doctor?" She asked him eagerly, but her hope diminished when Antonium shook his head.
"No. We've been summoned to the control room of this ship."
"I'm not going." Amy said stubbornly, struggling to sit up, until Antonium gently helped her into a sitting position.
"Amy, you know what they can do."
Amy didn't miss the warning in Antonium's tine. "Fine." She muttered, placing her feet on the floor.
But as she stood up, she fell back down immediately, her body too weak to support her. "Antonium, why do I feel so tired?" She whispered vulnerably, feeling exhausted by that one simple movement.
"The time energy in your blood is almost used up, as it was consumed mostly by your daughter when her growth was accelerated." Antonium told her quietly, his eyes downcast. "Here, I've got a wheelchair for you."
"I'm not an invalid!" Amy reminded him sharply, attempting to stand up again. This time, she could stand, but when she went to take a step forward, she faltered, and Antonium quickly caught her in his arms.
"Put your weight on me." He told her, and she leaned on him as he guided her over to the wheelchair, grateful for his help - for once.
Once she was sitting comfortably, she gripped the wheelchair arm with one hand and placed her other hand over her restless daughter, who had just started to move.
As she began to rub her abdomen through the white material of her shirt, her daughter's movements relaxed, and Amy kept that motion up during their journey to the control room.
After Antonium had typed in the code to get through the door, he wheeled her in, and both of them frowned when they realised the room was empty.
"Huh. Maybe we're early." He mused, but Amy wasn't listening, as she'd just spotted something on the central table.
"Antonium, take me over there." She pointed to her destination, and Antonium quickly obliged.
"I can't believe it's here." She whispered, reaching forward and picking up her sonic screwdriver, that had been lying on the table. "Hello you, I've missed you. Hmm, I wonder if you still work."
Looking around the room for something to sonic, her eyes landed on a set of double doors, and she aimed her screwdriver at them, laughing in relief when the doors opened. "You've still got it." She said fondly, pressing the gold button again to open up the doors that Antonium had just wheeled them through.
But her enjoyment didn't last long, for the white Dalek suddenly teleported into the room, and she quickly pocketed her sonic.
"The Doctor is on his way, thanks to you!" It announced, and Amy's face paled.
"What?" She demanded, looking in bewilderment at Antonium. "What did I do?"
Antonium couldn't answer her as he didn't understand either, until his eyes fell on the sonic poking out of Amy pocket. "Amy, I think you just alerted the Doctor to where you are, using your sonic." Antonium whispered, his eyes wide in horror. "This was a trap...for you."
"The Pandorica is in place, the trap for the Doctor is ready!" The Dalek boomed, and Amy began to shake her head rhythmically.
"No, the Doctor won't be imprisoned in that thing! He's too smart for that!" She snapped, her faith in the Doctor never wavering.
"Amy, when it comes to his love for you, the Doctor is blind." Antonium said bleakly, but his words didn't diminish Amy's hope.
"No! The Doctor will realise the truth! He won't be fooled!" She insisted, her hazel eyes burning with determination. "You'll see!"
~I~
Jack and the Doctor had been researching for a couple of hours now, and River had offered to help, but the Doctor had told her that he needed someone to watch his sonic.
She was flattered that he finally seemed to trust her enough to look after his sonic, knowing that it had the potential to unite him with Amy, but she was bored of staring at it.
Sighing, she looked down at her blue diary, that was still closed on her lap. She'd contemplated reading it, but reading about her past with Amy and the Doctor would only upset her and she couldn't afford to be weighed down with emotion while searching for Amy. Emotion made everything dangerous.
After pocketing her blue diary, she glanced at the sonic that was resting on the console, only to reel back in shock when she saw that it was glowing.
"Doctor!" She bellowed, knowing that he could hear her from where he was. "Doctor, it's Amy! Your sonic has found her!"
Suddenly there was a loud crash, followed by two sets of hurried footsteps, and Jack and the Doctor appeared at the top of the console room stairs.
"You're certain?" The Doctor demanded, rushing down the stairs and scooping up his sonic, wanting to cry with relief when he saw that River was right.
Immediately, he plugged the sonic into the console, and yanked the scanner towards him, where the co-ordinates of where Amy's sonic signal had transmitted from had appeared. Both Jack and River joined him, and all three of them were surprised to see the Roman co-ordinates on the screen.
"A Roman campsite, by the looks of it." River murmured. "Interesting. So the ship must be above it then."
"Close enough for me." The Doctor remarked, already typing in the co-ordinates for the TARDIS to fly to.
But Jack's hand on his stilled his movement. "Doctor, this has to be a trap." He told him worriedly. "I don't think we should just-"
But the Doctor was quick to interrupt him. "Jack, only Amy can activate my sonic's signal when she uses hers. Yes, it might be a trap. But Amy is there. So I'm going to find her. Okay? None of the universe matters if I don't get her back. She's everything to me."
Jack eventually nodded, and he released the Doctor to let him resume the task of piloting the TARDIS to Amy's destination.
"I'm coming Amy." The Doctor whispered, smiling as he yanked the green lever down.
Ooh-er. The story is really building up now!
Please review; let me know you're alive? I miss you guys. Mwah!
