There was a crying coming from the other side of the room. The Doctor felt River climb out of their bed, she yawned loudly, he looked at the clock on the bedside table. 3am. He sat up in bed and said "Ava-Leigh has done well tonight." He looked over to River as she lifted Ava-Leigh out of her cot. She gurgled as any other 7 month old baby would do.
River walked back to the Doctor, she held Ava-Leigh in her arms, rocking her back and forth trying to get her to sleep again. "Sorry for waking you my love" River whispered as she climbed back into bed.
"It;s fine" the Doctor whispered back. The Doctor looked at Ava-Leigh who was half asleep in Rivers arms, he couldn't believe that she was 7 months old already. She had small wild curls just like her mother, but they were deep chestnut brown instead of blonde, she had emerald green eyes, but best of all she had two hearts, just like her father. The Doctor put his arm around River and she leant against him. The Doctor held River as River held Ava-Leigh in her arms, they all drifted back of to sleep. The perfect family.
River suddenly woke up. She looked over to the other side of the bedroom. No cot. It was all just a dream. She was in the TARDIS. She sighed wishing that it hadn't been a dream. She wondered whether she would really have a baby girl, or whether she would have a boy. Unlike most women who wanted a girl, River was yearning for a boy, not that she wouldn't be happy with a girl. She didn't know why, she just knew that's what she wanted. Even though it had been a month and a half since the Doctor had told her that she was pregnant, she was still struggling to come to the idea that she was starting her own family with the man that she loves. Laying in the bed, River turned her head to look at the Doctor, he was still fast asleep, she then looked down at her stomach, there was small baby bump, it was only just visible, but to River, it made everything worth while and seem more real than before. She placed a hand on her only-just-visible bump.
She snuggled up to the Doctor, god he was always warm, her own personal furnace.
He must have only been sleeping lightly, "Whats wrong beautiful?" he mumbled, still half asleep.
"Nothing" River replied, the Doctor sat up in their bed, "It's just all starting to feel real now that my bump is starting to show" she added, she lifted her pajamas top up to show her slightly swollen abdomen to her sleep husband, "Look sweetie" she said proudly.
The Doctor shuffled down the bed, but closer to River, he placed his head on her chest.
"Sweetie, wha..." River started.
"Shush River" he said interrupting River mid-sentence, "Hello baby Song. I can't wait to meet you. You're going to have the best Mummy and Daddy in the whole universe. You're Daddy, that's me, will love you more than your Mummy though" he said softy to Rivers small bump, chuckling at the last part.
He lifted his head of Rivers chest and kissed her, "So, you're going to love him... Or her more than me sweetie" River asked in between kisses from the Doctor.
"Oh, definitely Professor Song, definitely" he replied. River laughed at his confidence, but carried on kissing him. She didn't want to leave this little bubble, she had her baby and her husband with her, everything was perfect. In some ways, she still couldn't believe that she was going to be a Mum.
River pulled away from the Doctors kisses as he rolled onto his back, he let out a big sigh. "Whats wrong sweetie?" she asked.
The Doctor murmured something under his breath.
River turned onto her side so that she was facing the Doctor. He put his hands behind his head.
"What was that sweetie, and don't mumble this time" River asked.
