AN: Thanks to lodilou for her video "River & The Doctor/ There shouldn't be a good in goodbye. Also "Love Reign O'er Me" by The Who. I wrote this little story to both of them.
It was all over. The Library would open in a few months. Lux needed staff. It would take time for the known Universe to find out that The Library was no longer off limits. Sigma and Malokeh were dropped off to their homes. All of them would meet again in two weeks. Sigma was serious about the therapy. For now just rest and relax. Charlotte happily left with Lux. Charlotte had an entire family to meet. The TARDIS set up communication lines for both Charlotte and the Core's residents. Everyone could stay in touch with each other.
The TARDIS parked herself in the Pond's garden. The Doctor flew out the doors and into the sunny garden. He took a moment to take in everything. It was quiet, happy and peaceful.
"Doctor?" Rory asked.
The Doctor clapped his hands and turned around.
"Who is hungry? I'm making omelets."
He got three half hearted "Yeahs" in response.
"What is the matter?" The Doctor asked in response.
"Doctor we are tired." Amy said.
"Well you shouldn't go to bed on an empty stomach." The Doctor stated.
Rory unlocked the back door and The Doctor quickly took over the kitchen.
"Why don't you three get comfy?" The Doctor said.
"P.J. omelet Party!" Amy yelled.
Amy kissed all of them and disappeared up the stairs. Rory followed Amy up the stairs after a hug with River and the Doctor.
"You need to change also, Sweetie."
River hugged The Doctor from behind and kissed his neck. The Doctor closed his eyes and sighed. The Universe really did like him. Here she was playfully nibbling on his neck.
"I thought you were tired?" The Doctor said with a smile.
"Exhausted. Doesn't mean I can not fool around with my husband a bit. Come on. Let's get changed."
River and the Doctor went into the guest room. They both had clothes stored there. The Doctor was changed in a few moments.
"I will be down in a few moments, Doctor." River said as the Doctor disappeared down the stairs.
River looked around the room. It was a mess with papers. She picked up a few.
"So this is where you planned our rescue?" River quietly said to herself.
River stood up and looked at the bed. She could get a fuzzy image of her parents helping him through his breakdown. It hurt.
"It is supposed to hurt. That is what Sigma said. I can hide the memory from you for a while if you want. So you can relax." Melody quietly said to her.
"No. It will be ok." River answered.
"I will be starting my homework. I have a lot to read." Melody answered.
"Yes you do." River laughed.
River put on a very soft sweat outfit.
"Why do I think this is going to turn into the Encyclopedia Britannia? If you need me River just call."
"Same here Melody. Otherwise I'll see you when I go to sleep."
"Thanks, River. Those omelets smell good. Better get going."
"River! Omelets are ready." The Doctor yelled.
River walked down the stairs to wonderful smells coming from the kitchen. Most people didn't realize that the Doctor had trained in France during the dawning of the culinary movement.
"You can't put that on my plate. It isn't done." Amy said.
"My dear Amelia, if eggs are done in the pan, they become over done on the plate."
The Doctor put two perfect French runny omelets, with chives, in front of Amy and Rory. He turned around and placed two more on the table. Rory looked ready to devour it.
"Wait! Please." The Doctor shouted.
Rory sighed and put the fork down. The Doctor produced a bottle of champagne. Amy, Rory and River dove under the table.
"What?!" The Doctor said as he loosened the cork.
The cork nearly took out a light in the kitchen and scattered the tower of toast in the middle of the table. River just shook her head and tried desperately not to laugh. Amy and Rory were giggling as they retook their seats. The Doctor filled 4 flutes while giving them all nasty looks. The Doctor raised his glass and looked like he was going to give a speech.
The Doctor stood and looked at the three people around the table. Then his brain went on rewind. Amy and Rory paying bills. Rory gathering him in his arms and carrying him upstairs. The three of them leaving for the hospital. Amy, Rory and River stayed silent. They guessed he was flashing back. Flashbacks would be common among them all. The Doctor sighed then kissed them all on the cheek. He raised his glass, smiled and knocked back the glass of champagne. A laugh went around the table before the omelets were devoured.
