Hope you enjoy!

The Doctor leaned against the TARDIS console, still breathing hard. He quickly slid to the ground. Amy ran to him, grabbing his arm to try to prevent him from falling, but she ended up kneeling alongside him again. She watched him worriedly.

After a few moments, the Doctor pulled her into a hug, shaking and breathing hard. If Amy didn't know any better, it would've sounded like he was holding back tears.

"Amy…! You're alive! My sweet Amelia….! ...Oh, Amy…..!"

"Ssh, it's ok now, Doctor." After a few minutes, the Doctor pulled away, leaning against the console and facing the doors, his breathing slowly returning to normal.

"How….did you get in that room…..with the….fire?"

"It was the eye patch lady," Amy told him, "I've told you, she keeps appearing, following me. She's the man in the brown suit."

He said nothing, taking it all in, breathing deeply. He looked down and saw that the biodamper was on her right hand again. He took her hand lightly.

"This ring…..where did you….get it?"

"She gave it to me. Now, I can't get it off! I thought I had dreamed the whole thing last night, but it appeared on my finger again!"

"Why would you take it?"

"She appeared as you, Doctor. The man in the brown suit. It's how she can touch me."

The Doctor suddenly remembered Amy being led away by a man in a leather jacket. He felt sick again.

"Oh my gosh," he said, "It's me. She's appearing to you as me."

"I know! Why though, Doctor? Why is this happening?"

"Because I'm clever!" someone shouted behind them. Amy jumped and quickly turned around. Skinny was standing there, a few feet away from them, looking dangerous.

The Doctor grabbed onto the console and pulled himself up, facing his past regeneration.

"Leave her alone. She has nothing to do with you."

Skinny suddenly looked sad, "She was the most important woman in the whole wide universe."

The Doctor paled. He had said those words to Silvia and Wilf, compensating them for Donna's memory loss and her fate.

Amy stood up now. "Why did you cause that fire?! Answer me!"

He wore the orange spacesuit again and looked angry. "I'M GONNA WIN!"

Amy flinched, but the Doctor said calmly behind her, "He can only speak in echoes. Everything that I said in that regeneration in a different context."

"Why?"

He wore a blue suit and glasses now. "Didn't I ever tell you?" he said, laughingly, "I'm brilliant!"

Amy didn't know what to think. This villain needed her for reasons he/she wasn't explaining. She turned back to the Doctor.

"We need to get Rory back," she told him.

"And expose him to that?" he questioned her, gesturing to his echo.

"Well, what do you suggest we do?!" she shot back at him. Someone held her hand. She turned and saw Skinny next to her, grinning at her in a blue suit.

"How 'bout it? One more trip?" As he said the words, the TARDIS jolted and Amy saw herself seducing the Doctor against the TARDIS doors the year before. She looked around. The present Doctor and his TARDIS had disappeared, but Skinny still grinned at her, his grip on her hand, firm.

"Why are you showing me this?" she asked, softly. He grew serious, putting his free hand on her cheek. Amy was shocked at the turn of events.

"You're not falling. You're flying," he said, leaning in and kissing her with passion and desperation. Amy was shocked, but found herself kissing him back, then began to question herself. What about Rory?!

When they broke the kiss, she found herself in her bedroom on the TARDIS. She slowly opened her door and saw her Doctor- wait, her Doctor?! Why had she described him as such?- working frantically around the console.

"Doctor!" she called to him. He looked at her, pure relief and joy on his face.

"Amy, you're alive!"

"Of course!" she replied, laughingly. They ran to each other and hugged, like old times. When they pulled away, she saw a look in his eyes that was unlike any she'd ever seen before. What was going on?

"Doctor?" a voice called from the TARDIS doors. The Doctor and Amy broke apart as they saw Rory entering. She looked at the Doctor questioningly, and he shrugged. Perhaps he'd gone to get him when she'd disappeared.

"Rory!" she shouted, running to him and hugging him tightly, glad for his comfortable familiarity. He hugged her back, surprised.

"Amy, relax, I was only gone for two days," he said, laughing a little, "What have you guys been up to, Doctor?"

"Oh, you know, this and that," he said vaguely, dancing around the console and pulling levers, "Now, where shall we go?"

"How about-?"

"Ricky!" a voice, she recognized all too well, shouted from the TARDIS console. They all looked at him, shocked. Rory let go of his wife, confused.

"Doctor, who is this?"

"Ricky the Idiot!" Skinny continued, looking pointedly at Rory. He raised his eyebrows.

"My name is Rory, and I'm not an idiot, who are you?"

"John Smith."

"He's me," The Doctor cut in, "Well, someone who's appearing as me."

"What do you mean, that's you?" Rory questioned. The Doctor waved his hand at him.

"Stuff of legends," Skinny said. Rory looked at him, questioningly.

"Ignore him," Amy said, "He talks nonsense."

"You mean, you've seen him before?" Rory replied, "Just what have you been doing while I was gone?!"

"Rory-" The Doctor started, but found himself unable to finish upon watching his echo appear in front of his red-headed companion, placing his hand on her waist and making out with her. Amy couldn't help, but respond to his passion for a moment, but quickly began to push him away. He disappeared. Her lips were swollen. The three of them looked at each other, awkwardly. Rory looked at his wife in disbelief.

"Amy, what have you been doing? What's that?!" he asked, looking at the gold ring on her right hand. She and the Doctor tried to explain to him, but he stormed up to the Doctor and began shouting at him.

"Have you coveted my wife?!" he shouted, "You monster!"

"Rory!" she shouted. He looked at her, "Amy, do you love him?"

"What? No, of course, not! Rory-!"

"Of course, she loves me!" The Doctor shouted at Rory in his anger and pent-up frustration. They both looked at him like he'd just proposed they'd become Nazis.

"What?" they both asked him.

"Maybe not as much as she loves you, but I can see it there. It used to be just us, you know. You were never there, even now. What have you been doing these past two days?!"

"Doctor!" Amy shouted. She couldn't believe her ears. True, her feelings had been confusing recently, but it was nothing like that…..right?

Rory looked at her, feeling betrayed, "Amy?"

"No!" she shouted. This had turned into a nightmare!

"You don't have to pretend, Amy," the Doctor told her.

"Doctor, shut up! I'm married!"

"But, I love you!" he shouted at her.

"You what?" Rory shouted.

"It should have been me she chose, not you!" he replied.

Amy couldn't take this. She just couldn't. She ran up to them both, begging them to stop, when everything faded to black. The two of them looked to where Amy had been and found a puddle of goo, and standing behind that goo was the man in the brown suit, pointing his sonic screwdriver at the puddle.

"You're dead," he said. They couldn't believe it.

"Doctor!" Rory shouted, "What did he just do?!"

"It's starting," Skinny said, solemnly. Rory turned to the Doctor.

"What does he mean?"

"Your wife's in labor," he said, pulling levers on the console, "Allons-y!"

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

"It's mine,"

The husband and wife looked equally shocked.

"What is?" Amy asked, breathlessly.

"The cot, it's my cot," The Doctor clarified, "I slept in there."

After some conversation, the Doctor asked Rory for permission to hug Amy, and he obliged.

"I'm sorry. For everything," he whispered, "I didn't mean to put you in danger. If I could-"

"Doctor, it's ok," she consoled him, "It might have felt real, but I wasn't really there. It was all fantasy. No hard feelings, right? "

"Right," the Doctor said, trying to hide the bitter emotion in his voice, "No hard feelings," and he let go of her as Rory told him to stop hugging and he once again became the bouncy, bubbly Doctor they all knew and loved, but if only they really knew how lonely the Lonely God truly was.

Little short, and maybe the ending was abrupt, but hope you guys enjoyed reading my story!
