River flipped over on her mattress. She was hot and was having trouble sleeping. Her head throbbed and wave after wave of nausea flooded through he body. She wouldn't feel as bad is she was with the Doctor, but instead she was stuck here, in a humid cell with guards surrounding the floor.

With a sigh, she sat up and stared at herself in the reflection of the mirror across from her bed. Her face was pale, and there were dark circles under her eyes. She glanced down at herself. She was gaining weight. Yes, it was obvious now, the slight gut forming. She tried to get it off her mind, pretend that it wasn't there, that it wasn't what it obviously was, but she knew.

She fell back on the bed tiredly, wanting the sleep to come badly. She sat back up and glanced at her dresser. That's it. I've had enough. She thought to herself as she reached towards it, opening the drawer quickly and pulling out the vortex manipulator.

As she snapped it onto her wrist, she heard footsteps coming from down the hall. She whipped her hands behind her back just as Madame Kovarian stepped into view.

She chuckled to herself, a smirk on her face drawing into an evil grin. "Oh, Melody... You really though you could hide this from us, didn't you?" River swallowed nervously as Kovarian handed her a glass tablet showing a body scan.

FULL BODY SCAN:

PREGNANT

3 MONTHS 1 WEEK

River felt faint, as if someone had just punched her in the chest. Her breathing labored, she looked at Kovarian and handed back the tablet. The eye-patched woman smiled. "My, my... And I thought his friends daughter would be the perfect trap... Imagine what he would do for his own child."

She stepped forward, but River was to fast for her. She began to type coordinates into the Vortex Manipulator. "Oh no you don't." She finalized the digits, watching Kovarian scream for the guards to grab her, already too late.

She materialized in the console room of the Tardis, startling Clara, who was reading.

"Oh, River! Geez, you scared me!" She had her hand pressed against her chest. "What are you doing here?"

River smiled. "Just wanted to stop by and- and talk to the Doctor. Where is he?"

"In another room. I'd look for him, but I have a feeling I'd get lost."

River nodded, and leaned back against the railing. "Doctor?" She called out.

Following her call for him, she heard his footsteps echoing through the halls as he entered where they were. His face brightened when he saw her. "River! Hello!" He smiled broadly, and she looked him over. Rather than wearing his jacket, he just had his vest and button-up shirt on, the white sleeves rolled up and stained with some sort of oil.

"Hello, Sweetie. What have you been up to?" He followed her gaze, then looked back at her.

"Ah. Well, I was working on something. Would you two like to come see?" They glanced at Clara, who was watching them with a smile on her face. The girls nodded and followed him to were he had been working, revealing a kitchen.

Clara's expression brightened. "Oh! It's a kitchen!"

He nodded. "I thought Clara would like to practice her souffle making skills in here, but I needed to fix up the stove first. It should be working now, so-" He clapped his hands together. "Would either of you two like some eggs?"

"Where did you learn to cooklike that?" He smiled as River sat back in the chair, full and content. "Ah, eighteenth century France. Didn't learn how to cook much besides omelettes though."

She smiled. "Well, it was delicious." Clara nodded in agreement.

River stretched her arms out and yawned, getting up out of the chair. She opened her mouth to speak, interrupted by a nauseous feeling rising from her gut. Her face contorted and she rushed off to the Tardis' bathroom.

"River!" The Doctor raced after her, followed by Clara. The Doctor entered the bathroom and crouched beside River, his hands resting on her shoulders. Clara watched from the doorway worriedly.

"Is she okay?"

River nodded slightly, then continued to vomit. "Was it the eggs?" The Doctor questioned. She sat up and wiped her mouth.

"No, it wasn't that. I've- I've been under the weather the past few days."

"Do you want a body scan?!"

"No!" She answered too quickly. She smiled uneasily at him. "No, I'm fine. I'm sure it's nothing." She attempted to stand, but fell against the wall unsteadily, fuzziness clouding her vision.

He held her up. "Do you need help?" She shook her head faintly. "N-no, I'm fine." She croaked out. She stepped away from his grasp, wobbling slightly. She fell forward and landed against the floor, passed out cold.
