Hello Sweetie

Chapter 13

River's POV

I open my eyes slowly. The Doctor is still laying down beside me, presumably asleep. I stand up and start walking to the bathroom when-

Yowzah. I feel him think.

The little Dalek's awake. The telepathic connection we had from last night is still on. I turn around to glare at him. He gives a slight grin, and I cut off the connection.

"You know, I'm not quite as bad as a Dalek." He says, sitting up. I shake my head and walk in the bathroom.

"I'm taking you to 2015 today." he calls from the bedroom. "Good. Smith and Wesson made a very nice pistol that year. I've always wanted one." I say, turning the shower on.

He pokes his head in the doorway. "Are you taking a shower?" "No. I'm rebuilding a star-liner engine." I say sarcastically.

"Sarcasm doesn't suit you, dear." He tells me, pulling me into a hug. "I need to shower." I say. "Well, I want to hug."

"Too bad." I push him off of me and climb in. "River! I was enjoying our hug!"

"Sorry. Go get some clothes on, and we can go to 2015. I just want to take a quick shower. I'll probably have to take another by the time the day is done, anyway." I tell him.

He sighs and walks out. I jump in the shower and take around ten minutes before I get out and go to the control room.

"Oh, good. You're done. Now listen, I sort of picked up a few rift disturbances around a quarter of a mile away. Which,-" he starts to say after he sees the look on my face, "-which shouldn't take that long. So no bringing guns or anything. We won't be there long, so there won't be any need. Well, there may be-" He's interrupted by knocking on the door.

He looks at me curiously. "Didn't you put the TARDIS on a perception filter....?" I nod. What could be able to notice the TARDIS with a perception filter on?

I walk towards the door. "River, come on, we have to fix the perception filter." He says, starting to go under the console. "I just want to see who knocked." I say, getting closer. THUD THUD THUD THUD. "Four times." he murmurs.

I get my gun out and stick my head out the door. "Who the hell are you?" A voice demands. I take the woman in. Blond, blue leather jacket, slightly sassy. Too much attitude for my taste. Needless to say, my gun's pointed at her head.

"Professor River Song. And you?" I ask. "River! Who are you talking to? Come help me fix the- oh." my husband says, gazing out the door. "Where's the Doctor?" the girl demands.

"Rose Tyler! River, gun down." He says with a smile. She looks at him curiously. "Is that you?" She asks quietly. He grins. "Oh yes. What do you think of this one?" he asks, making faces. She immediately runs into his arms and hugs him. Well, what I thought was going to be a hug ended up with her kissing him. He doesn't cooperate and pushes her away gently. He looks at me nervously. I just raise my eyebrow. It makes him nervous.

"You're Rose Tyler?" I ask, lowering my gun. "Yes. Who are you?" The Doctor has mentioned her before. I could tell how much losing her affected him. I could also tell he cared for her. Not in the same way as he did me, but definitely more than friend. But I could also tell from what he said was that she would definitely be jealous he got married. Was I jealous of her? Slightly. I knew others would fall in love with him. It's hard not to.

"Sweetie, introduce us properly." I say, giving him a look. Rose raises her eyebrows at 'sweetie', but doesn't mention it. He claps his hands together. "Right then. River, this is Rose Tyler. Used to travel with me, as you know. Rose, this is, well,-" he pauses. "this is my wife, Professor River Song."
