A whooshing sound brought Amy to her feet. She ran to the front window and peered out as the TARDIS materialized next to her house. She heard footsteps behind her as Rory ran out of their bedroom, he'd been changing the light bulb. At least he hadn't broke anything. The TARDIS doors open and the Doctor stepped out with that goofy grin on his stupid face.

"Is that the Doctor?" Rory asked, standing behind her and trying to peer out the window.

"Yep," She snapped.

"Why's he here?"

She turned around and gave her husband her best don't be an idiot look.

"Oh," he continued. "Right. Well, at least he showed up in the same month this time."

She rolled her eye and then crossed the room to the front door. She pulled it open before he could knock.

"Happy Birthday," he greeted.

"You're late," she snapped.

"Late?" He glanced at his watch. "Are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure I know when my birthday is."

He stepped inside, giving her his best apologetic smile. Stupid alien face! She shut the door.

"I can't be that late."

"Two weeks!" she growled, folding her arms.

In truth she wasn't really that upset, but she couldn't let him know that.

"That's not bad then."

"Not bad? It's two weeks!"

"At least he showed up in the same month," Rory repeated.

"Who asked you?" she shot.

He put his hands up in surrender.

"The same month. That's good then," The Doctor said.

She glared at him, but he gave her another one of his stupid smiles and she couldn't keep up the charade. She returned his smile.

"Oh, come here you stupid alien," she said, pulling him into a hug.

"You're not mad at me?"

"No, you idiot. How can I stay mad at you?"

"Husband," Rory pointed out.

The Doctor released Amy and then turned to him with that goofy grin still in place.

"And Rory the Roman." He pulled Rory into a hug. "Come here you." He released Rory and then put an arm around each of them. "Well, now, Ponds, who's up for an adventure?"

"Oh, me, definitely me," Amy said, bouncing on her heels.

"Adventure. Yaaay," Rory said, unenthusiastically.

"Oh, shut up. It's my birthday."

"Uh, no it's not. Your birthday was two weeks ago."

"It's my birthday if I say it's my birthday," Amy insisted.

"All right, birthday girl, where do you want to go?" The Doctor asked. "Wait. Let me guess." He looked at her for a moment. "Rio!"

"No, not Rio. Anywhere, but Rio," Amy insisted.

"But I thought you liked sunny beaches."

"I do, but last time you said you were taking us to Rio we wound up on a war torn planet."

"Yes, but we had ice cream."

"After we were almost killed…twice."

"How was I supposed to know shaking hands was illegal?"

"And the time before that Rory died."

"Yeah, I'd like to go one day without dying. If it's all the same to you," Rory said.

"Fine," the Doctor resigned. "No Rio. There are plenty of other sunny beaches out there."

"What are we waiting for?" Amy asked, opening the door.

"Come along Ponds," The Doctor said, heading out the door.

"Yaaay," Rory said in his best I really don't want to go voice.

She slapped his arm.

"Don't be a sourpuss."

She followed her husband out and closed the door. She liked her normal life with Rory, but she always looked forward to their trips with The Doctor. It was the only time anything could happen. She smiled as she stepped into the TARDIS. The Doctor was already racing around the control panel while Rory watched him. Her husband had on his I'd rather be anywhere but here face. She smiled. My boys.
