The Doctor tapped rapidly on the door of the Pond's home. It was in the exact same location as their house had been in 21st Century Leadworth, and still had a very brightly painted TARDIS blue door. It took several moments before Rory opened the door and began to speak without even looking up.

"I'm sorry now's not a good time I'm sure whatever you're selling is…" He began before the Doctor coughed, causing him to look up and see the Doctor standing there with his granddaughter in his arms. "AMY!" He called back into the house.

"I told you not to…" Amy began to lecture him as she ran down the stairs, but she stopped when she reached the landing in the foyer and was face to face with her best friend. "Doctor…" She breathed lightly as she took in everything. Her granddaughter being handed over to Rory and the Doctor opening his arms and asking for permission to hug her.

As soon as Amy heard Rory's clearly happy "Permission granted." She ran into his arms and pulled him close. "How are you here?" She asked him, entirely shocked by the situation.

The Doctor raised his eyebrows at her. "I can very easily ask you the same question." He replied as his gaze fixated on Jessica interacting with Rory. "How is she even…?" He asked awkwardly as he watched her eyes light up with joy at finally being hope again. "No I take that back… How come she was in the streets of London, running?"

"Look… Doctor… I can't tell you… Like ridiculous amounts of spoilers are at stake here if I explain what's going on to you." Amy said sheepishly as she sat down on the floor next to Jessica and Rory.

"I've already figured out she's River's and mine." The Doctor said quietly as he joined everyone on the floor. "And she told me she's regenerated… Why has my daughter regenerated?" He asked suddenly angry.

"Look… She was really little. She doesn't really remember it that much."

"How old was she?" The Doctor asked, his voice threaded with pain and anguish.

"She was seven." Amy replied, knowing that if she lied he would eventually find out the truth.

The Doctor looked at her, fury lighting his eyes. "You were in charge of my daughter and she regenerated and she was only seven?" He asked her angrily.

"It wasn't our fault Doctor." Rory piped up from where he had Jessica in his lap reading Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone. "We can't tell you what happened because that's all in your future. The only things we can tell you are the things River told us to tell you if you found out about Jessica."

"Which are?" The Doctor asked expectantly.

"Jessica Amelia Williams is your daughter. She has the surname that she does so that she can live with us, without there being any questions asked. River has been working incredibly hard to ensure that no one can trace her back to you, however… We've run into a bit of a snag with that one…" Rory said, calmly until he reached the end of his explanation.

"What kind of snag?" The Doctor asked impatiently.

Rory bit his lip awkwardly. "Jessica had a bit of a fall at school and she broke her arm. Her teacher of course sent her to the hospital, and they ran some tests and discovered she has two hearts."

The Doctor looked at him angrily. "You know she can't just be taken to a regular Earth doctor. Not even in the 51st Century are there doctor's that know how to care for a Time Lord."

"We know that" Amy replied, feeling protective of her granddaughter. "Things are getting out of hand very quickly and it's not helping that you've shown up and parked that ridiculous blue box out in our yard. I promise you we're doing the best we can to protect your daughter, but they're going to find you and her if you stay here."

"You can't just kick me out…" The Doctor began to argue.

Amy shook her head sadly, knowing that this was the only option. "Look I don't want to keep you from your daughter, but you need to go."

"Then let her come with me." The Doctor said suddenly, something Amy had not been prepared for him to suggest.

Amy bit her lip. "I can't. You'd kill me." She replied awkwardly.

"Why would I possibly get angry at you for letting me spend time with my daughter?" The Doctor asked. Confused and frusterated by the situation he was in.

"Because this is all your future Doctor. If Jessica isn't here when you come to see her next because she's off flying in the TARDIS…"Amy began to explain.

"Or what if River comes to see her?" Rory pointed out. "This whole situation is way more complicated then you can understand right now."

"She's my daughter." The Doctor said angrily. "Based on what Jessica's said, she hasn't seen River or I enough to know who we are. Why are you so concerned about one of us coming to see her?"

"Because you do come to see her… She just… She can't remember." Amy said quietly, realizing that she could be giving potential spoilers.

"What do you mean she can't remember?" The Doctor asked suspiciously.

Amy bit her lip. "As a safety precaution until Jessica's old enough to understand how important the secrets of the Time Lords are… River and you have been mentally blocking the memories from her when you leave."

"So you're saying you're just raising her with so many secrets about herself?" The Doctor asked angrily. "She's my daughter Amy. You know exactly how it feels. To have a daughter one moment and then her being taken from you the next."

It was then that Rory lost his temper. He stood and punched him in the nose. "Don't you dare… Compare this situation to what happened to River." He said angrily before picking up Jessica. "You don't understand what we've gone through to give Jessica a safe life."

"Rory!" Amy exclaimed as she felt torn between the two of them. She understood the pain that the Doctor must be feeling, but also knowing that Rory was right, there was so much he didn't know, and that they couldn't tell him.

It was then that there was a timid knock at the door.

Rory and the Doctor froze their argument and Rory's grip on Jessica loosened substantially. Amy quickly ran her fingers through her hair before going to answer the door.

"I'm sorry." Clara's voice rang through the doorway. "Is… is The Doctor here?"

"I'm sorry I don't know what you're talking about." Amy lied on reflex as she began to close the door.

The Doctor quickly made his way into the foyer. "It's fine." He said quickly as he ushered Clara inside quickly. "She's my current companion."

"I'm Clara. Clara Oswald." Clara said as she stuck her hand out to greet Amy.

"Amy." Amy said shortly as she awkwardly shook Clara's hand.

The Doctor sighed as he sat down on the couch. "You can't just expect me to go on knowing that I have a daughter that's in danger here without doing something about it?" He asked exasperatedly.

Clara looked around the room in confusion. "I'm sorry Doctor… But you said Professor Song… You never mentioned much about them… But I'm assuming they're a woman?"

Amy looked at him in disbelief. "You're unbelievable." She said angrily as she ran up the stairs.

"You didn't tell her you were married?" Rory asked in disbelief as he shook his head.

Clara's eyes widened. "She's your wife then?"

It was then that Amy came back down the stairs, clearly furious. She shoved a yellowing envelope into the Doctor's hands before she looked up at him. "Block her memory of this… And leave." She insisted.

"What's this?" The Doctor asked as he began to try to look at the envelope.

"It doesn't matter. Jessica can't remember you, so please… Just block her memory of today." Amy was practically begging him. "Please." She whimpered.

The Doctor nodded as he pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry I've put you into the situation." He said honestly before he moved over and sat on the floor across from Jessica. "Alright Jessica, I'm sorry but I need to block your memory of today alright?"

"I don't want to forget you…" Jessica said as she looked up at him sadly.

"Jessica it's important for your safety that people can't trace me through you." The Doctor told her quietly. "I'm sorry." He said before placing his forehead gently to hers.

He hadn't been mentally connected to anyone other than river in almost a thousand years and it took him a moment to get his thoughts situated so that he could properly block her memories of that day. He worked his way mentally through the circuits of his daughter's brain until he found the memories from that day. He quickly began severing the connections and successfully blocked off all memory of him or any of the events of the day. Gently he pulled his forehead away from her and he put his arms around her shoulders to ensure that she wouldn't hit her head when the connection was broken. The severing of the connections in the mind often leads to temporary unconsciousness and he was more than prepared to ensure her safety when he finished.

"I'm sorry." Amy said with tears running down her face as she handed him the envelope which he had set down on the coffee table. "You have to go."

The Doctor nodded. "Come on Clara." He said as he angrily made his way into the foyer.

"Doctor…" Clara said as she walked quickly after him. "She's your daughter… You can't just…"

"I have to." The Doctor said solemnly before he opened the front door and briskly made his way to the TARDIS.

Moments later Clara came aboard and closed the door behind her. As soon as the doors were closed the TARDIS jolted into flight. "Doctor…" Clara tried to talk to him, but he just briskly walked around the console putting it into the vortex. "Doctor I know you've got a huge past, but stuff like that is important."

The Doctor shook his head. "I can't tell you about every important person that's ever been a part of my life."

Clara noticed the envelope Amy had handed him sitting on the floor of the console. "Doctor perhaps you should open this?" she suggested as she handed him the envelope.

The Doctor took the envelope from her and he read the writing on the front. It simply said Doctor but his name was clearly written in River's intricate handwriting. He quickly opened the seal on the back of the envelope and pulled out the letter. He sat down in the jump seat and began to read.

My Dearest Doctor,

If you're reading this it means you've found out about Jessica too early in your time stream. Her name is Jessica Amelia Williams. She's your daughter. She was born in Amy and Rory's flat at 4:22 in the morning March 7th 1937. Please don't panic. We are doing the best that we can to keep our daughter safe despite the circumstances her life is surrounding. If you wish to visit her, I would never try to prevent you. I understand that she's incredibly captivating. However I must ask that you don't question Amy and Rory. No matter what you cannot ask about what is going on. Jessica is an important part of our future and you can't know about what's going to happen.

I promise you that you will find out everything eventually. But let it happen in its own time. I love you forever and always.

-River Song

The Doctor looked at the paper, feeling a huge conflict of emotions inside. "It's from River." Doctor said quietly to help ease Clara's curiosity. "I think I should take you back home for a bit Clara."

Clara shook her head. "Not unless you're staying with me." She insisted. "This is a lot for you to take in and you shouldn't do it alone."

The Doctor bit his lip before agreeing. "We'll stay with Angie and Artie for a few days while I try to figure all of this out." He finally stated before quickly sending the TARDIS into flight with the pull of a lever.

"Doctor…" Clara said quietly as the pain in his eyes attempted to turn to tears. "Do you need anything?"

He shook his head. "Of course not. I'm okay. I'm fine." He lied as he landed the TARDIS without much grace.

Clara knew inside that there was no way he was actually okay, but she also knew she shouldn't press the issue. So she resigned to following the Doctor as he put on a false face of enthusiasiam and rushed into the house.

"Angie! Artie!" The Doctor called excitedly as Clara followed behind with a small smile on her face.

Author's Note: I hope you're all enjoying this story. I'm trying to figure out how frequently to update this. However I'm horrible at keeping to schedules so the likeliness that that would even happen is fairly ridiculous. Either way, I'm so excited to be finally writing this story and I hope you all enjoy it. Please review!
