I seriously only just finished this chapter, so sorry if it's a bit scratchy. Also, I'm working on a Final Fantasy VII fanfic at the same time as this, so chapters may be a bit more staggered from now on. But I will keep this up! I promise!

Kovarian's base had fallen. We'd won. For now.

The Doctor, Ruby and I walked in on Amy and Rory cradling baby Melody, and also kissing.

"Urgh, public displays of affection. I'll come back later," the Doctor said, walking on. But I grabbed his sleeve and pulled him back.

"Need I remind you of what was going on when I came back, Theta?" I teased.

He glared at me.

"Doctor," Rory said expansively, "meet my daughter."

"Our daughter," Amy corrected.

"Right, yeah. Ruby, David, you too."

"Melody!" the Doctor greeted the baby.

"Melody!" Ruby echoed.

"Melody!" I said half-heartedly. I didn't really want to keep this going, but I couldn't think of anything else to say.

"Big milk-thing!" Melody giggled, looking at Amy. I laughed.

"You can't just call her 'big milk-thing', she's your mum!"

"What are you on about?" Amy asked.

"I speak Baby," the Doctor clarified.

"No you don't."

"Yes he does," Melody corrected.

"Yes, Melody," I said to her, tickling her stomach, "yes he does."

"What?"

"I speak Baby too."

"Since when?"

"Since I became a Time Lord."

"What?" Amy and Rory exclaimed.

"Doctor," I chided him. "You mean to say you never told them?"

"It, uh, never came up."

I gave him a withering look.

The Headless Monks were on the attack. We were being overwhelmed. The gun I'd been hiding under my trench coat was now working overtime.

"How long have you had that?" the Doctor asked me, looking pointedly at the gun in my hand.

"The whole time!" I shouted over the combined sounds of gunfire and clashing swords.

"But where did it come from?"

"I was hiding it under my coat!"

"Why?"

"Because I thought you wouldn't approve!"

"Normally, I wouldn't! But under the circumstances…" He dodged a laser blast. "…I'll make an exception!"

"It's me. I'm Melody. I'm your daughter."

Amy and Rory's jaws were on the floor. I was more shocked by the fact that the Doctor had left us all behind. I knew we were going to meet again in Leadworth in a little while, but still… I was one of his best friends now! Why did he leave me behind? And my sister! He'd taken an interest in her, right? So why did he leave her behind too?

David, Ruby sent her thought to me. You can use your Vortex Manipulator to get us to the TARDIS, right?

Yeah, I responded, but do you really wanna leave Amy and Rory here?

No, but… We could get them back home so "Let's Kill Hitler" can happen, then head to the TARDIS.

You have a point there, I conceded. "Ponds," I said aloud.

Amy, River and Rory all looked at me.

"Er, not you, River…or Melody, or whatever."

She just nodded and zapped back to Stormcage with her own Manipulator.

"Now then, Amy, Rory, you should get home."

"And how exactly are we going to do that?" Rory asked, a tad acidly.

"With my watch…thing…" I responded, pointing at my Manipulator.

"Oh yeah."

"Right then, everybody gather 'round!" They did so, all putting their hands on my wrist.

"And it's off to Leadworth we go!" I shouted. With that, we vanished from Demon's Run and returned to Amy and Rory's home town.

We seemed to startle the Doctor when we zapped into the TARDIS. I assume we did, because he jumped about six feet into the air.

"What are you doing here?" he asked us when he composed himself.

"You didn't really think that we were gonna let you go that easily, did you?" I asked him, a smile on my face.

Please, go ahead and review. Your opinions are appreciated.
