A/N This really is just a fluffy thing that I wrote before bed tonight. I just needed to celebrate River and The Doctor's first anniversary with a fluffy Fic for you all!

Just on a funny note, I asked my family at dinner whether they knew what today was! I am a bit obsessed, so I was hoping they'de pick up on it quickly! They didn't. (C'mon you guys! How could you not know what April 22nd is! It's April 22!) Surprisingly, my younger sister figured it out in the end! Go You!

Happy Anniversary!

River Song leaned against the counter, watching as her mother did the dishes.

"I told you, I haven't seen a version of him that's done the pyramid since the actual event. I don't even think he considered it legit. Anyway, he was in the Tessalector the entire time, and only four people remember it including the so called bride and groom. He probably doesn't believe it counts!"

Amy turned down the water in order to hear her daughter. River had spent the entire evening fussing over herself (including washing, drying, and arranging her hair, which was a daunting task that had taken the better part of forty minutes) in celebration of her anniversary. She had been talking about it all week, saying things like 'it would be wonderful if he came, but I'm happy to spend it with you all the same,' and, 'of course, I'm not getting my hopes up,' but Amy knew River well enough to see that if The Doctor failed to show up she was going to be devastated.

"And, of course, it is The Doctor, and he's horrible with timing, so I really can't expect anything.."

Amy had honestly heard enough to feel incredibly frustrated with both her daughter and her best friend. She threw down the towel and turned to River, intending to give her a good telling off for failing to keep her antics to herself, but, seeing her face, Amy instead tried a different approach.

"OI! SHUT UP ALREADY! IF THAT STUPID IDIOT LEAVES MY DAUGHTER ALONE ON HER - THEIR - ANNIVERSARY, I'M GOING TO MAKE HIM PAY!" seeing River's slightly frightened expression, she swallowed and took a deep breath. "Sorry, River. But he's coming. I swear, he's coming. Don't worry, yeah?"

River did not answer, but instead looked at something past Amy in the next room.

"Oh my God." she half whispered, half squealed, looking and sounding like a pleased teenager.

"Hello, Ponds!" said the man, leaning against his blue box. "Nice to see you! Hope I don't stain the carpet. Residual vortex energy is terribly difficult to get out of fabrics! I ruined a perfectly good coat once. Now, why am I paying, Pond?"

Amy strode up to him looking incredibly fierce and annoyed.

"You were about to leave my daughter alone in her wedding anniversary! She's been waiting all week and you show up late!"

The Doctor put his hands up in a gesture of surrender.

"I'm very sorry, Amy. Now, since she's apparently been waiting all week, may I please take your daughter out? I had meant to get here earlier so we could do some sightseeing, but I suppose dinner will be -"

He stopped as River pushed past her still righteously indignant mother and threw her arms around The Doctor. The Doctor looked completely unsure as to what to do with this, as River was not usually quite so forthright and his arms flailed around a bit before coming to rest on River's back. Amy looked considerably cheered up at his evident lack of skill to deal with River when she was in a mood, and, satisfied that The Doctor had been properly told off and River had gotten what she needed, she winked merrily at her friend and quietly left the room.

"Hello Sweetie." whispered River, her fingers running through his hair.

"Hello River." he replied, feeling that he probably should have said more to her but at a very unfortuanate loss for words.

"Are you taking me somewhere nice for dinner, my love?" she asked with a contented sigh. The Doctor was surprised, pleased, and shocked at the same time. River was normally quite a handful, all bouncy and flirty and noisy. However, now, she seemed positively mellow and content. The Doctor couldn't say he minded.

"Of course, Doctor Song. It's our anniversary. Could you expect any less?"

Later that evening, River sat on the balcony of the restaurant, looking out over the city skyline. The dotted lights and streams of color that outlined the massive buildings where brilliant against the night sky, and, in a way, almost beautiful.

The Doctor sits close to her, an arm around her shoulder. She doesn't speak for a while, and The Doctor looks concerned.

"Are you okay?" he asks quietly.

"Fine," she replied, looking up at him for a moment before staring back at the display of lights in front of her. "Just...thinking."

"What about?" he asks, sensing she is worried about something.

"Do you love me, Doctor?" she asks.

The question surprises him, yet somehow doesn't surprise him at all. He leans down and kisses her, brushing a few stray curls away from her face.

"Of course I love you, River Song. What sort of question is that?"

She seems to struggle for words to describe what she's feeling.

"I'm not sure, it's just, well, you married me, but I guess I wasn't sure if you married me because you loved me, or to save the universe. Before that, I could never tell. You told me on your last breath that you loved River Song, and I'm River Song. But was that true? You never seemed to, before. You kissed me once, and only because I started it. Rule number one is that The Doctor lies. All the time, because he has to. Is that all this ever was?"

"Oh, Doctor Song, of course I love you." he repeated. "There were dozens of ways I could have convinced you to kill me. I married you because I realized that I loved you, and that no matter how fast I ran, I was always going to come back to you, River, because I fell in love with you. Completely by accident. And after that, I couldn't stay away."

As if to prove his point, he kisses her again, and he doesn't let go for a long, long time.

"I love you, River Song, Melody Pond, my mad, impossible wife. Happy Anniversary."

Come on, come on, turn a little faster,

Come on, come on, the world'll follow after,

Come on, come on, because evetybody's after

Love...

We're Accidentally in love.

Extra Authors Note: the song is Accidentally in Love by counting crows. It's another thing I don't own. :(
