AN: Okay. This isn't exactly the emotional ending I was going for... But I am completely out of ideas for continuing the story. Plus, originally, I was only going to have three adventures for them to go on, but the last one went on a bit more than expected, so I decided, well, by now, they probably know that the Doctor's been through some crap and need to reassure him. We already had Amy waking him up from a nightmare, and Rory, the nurse that he is, is probably knowing by now that the Doctor's having some regrets and they aren't helping. And even though he knows sometime they will have to leave, he's making a promise here. We're all in for the moment, and if we leave, it's never for good. Although in the end that wasn't true but shhh... So anyway, this is the end. Thanks for reading. I suppose this could be continued, but I don't believe this to be my best work, as it was my first attempt at a multi-chapter, so... Thanks for all those who followed, favorited, and reviewed. You kept this story alive for a while.

"Doctor? Doctor!"
The Doctor woke up to Amy and Rory's worried faces.
"Mm?" He mumbled, trying to wake up.
He hadn't had this much sleep in decades.
"You were crying out. In your sleep," Rory explained.
Alarm bells immediately started going off in the Doctor's head.
"Um. What was I saying?" He asked.
"You were saying our names, telling us not to leave you," Amy cut in, "Why?"
"Just a bad dream," the Doctor murmured.
"Doctor," Rory cut in, "I don't know if you're telling us everything or not, but- we won't leave you. At least not for good."
With that, he dragged Amy back to their bedroom, leaving the Doctor to his thoughts.
They missed the smile that slowly spread over the Doctor's face.
They missed the way his eyes lit up with hope, for the first time in a long time.
But as they set out later on, they didn't miss his grateful eyes and the slight spring in his step.
Because for the first time in a long time, he felt he was home.
