This is the first chapter in a new series. I am an extremeley new fan-fiction writer so I apologise if this isn't brilliant.
Obviously I don't own Doctor Who or any of the character or though I do wish that I did.

*4 Weeks*

How? This is impossible!

River paced across her living room, deep in thought, breathing rapidly.

How do I tell him?


River sat on the edge of her bathtub, hands shaking. She was late, but there could be hundreds of reasons for that. Teaching at Luna had been stressing her out to no end recently. 2 minutes was up. She glanced down.

"POSITIVE"

The word stared up at her from the offending stick as her hearts thundered in her chest. She thought back to 4 weeks ago. The night she spent with him at Asgard.


River continued to pace back and forth from the window to the door opposite. She thought they were incompatible. He was fully Time-Lord. She was only part Time-Lord; more human that Time-Lord in fact. She had wanted a child ever since she was one herself; she doubted he felt the same way though.

How on Earth am I supposed to tell him this?

I'm just going to have to do it. Just tell him. There's no other way.

River halted and headed for the draws underneath the window. She pulled out her vortex manipulator and strapped it to her wrist; typing in co-ordinates.


The Doctor whizzed around the brightly coloured control panel, his feet sliding on the glass floor below. He pulled the screen round from his right; checking the environment outside the blue doors. Just as he was about to explore his new destination, a blinding blue light flared across the control room as River Song appeared in a haze of smoke.

"Hello Sweetie."

She flashed her trademark smile in order to regain some confidence. This was going to be tough and she had no idea how he would react to her news. If she looked worried, he didn't notice.

"River, where are we this time?"

The Doctor sauntered round the console towards his wife, giving her a peck on the lips as he got nearer.

"Picnic at Asgard."

His eyes widened as he recalled that particular date.

"Ah yes. Well. Anyway, the last time we met was Manhattan although that was a very long time ago."

River's eyes softened at the mention of Manhattan. She missed her parents more than she cared to let on. She could really use their help right about now.

That was such a long time ago.

"So what brings you here today, Professor Song?"

He moved back towards the console, checked dials and fiddling with levers.

"I actually came to talk to you about something. Something important."

Here we go.

She felt her stomach churn at the thought of telling him.

"Oh? And what might that be, wife?"

He listened intently; sensing the urgency in her voice. She moved close to him, steadying his hands on controls, and took a deep breath. She went to speak but no words left her mouth. She couldn't bring herself to tell him.

"Well that's very interesting, River."

The Doctor smirked at his sarcasm as he moved towards the other side of the console, his back to his wife.

"I'm pregnant."

His whole body stilled as the words fell involuntarily from her lips. His forehead creased as he whipped round to face her. He stared at her, disbelieving. The Doctor shook his head and he sprinted up the steps, into the depths of the TARDIS.

The moment wasn't quite how River had envisioned it.

Don't forget to review and again I apologise if this isn't brilliant, I'm still getting used to writing. If you have any tips, leave them in the comments.
