"Come on, say Nana," Amy coaxed Dayton who was sat on her knee.

"Mum, he is only 5 months old," River said sitting down beside Amy. "Anyway, he should say Mama," River said, joining in with Amy in trying to get her infant son to speak.

"Where's the Doctor?" Rory asked as he walked into the kitchen.

River sighed, "Spoilers he said. That's all he told me. I'm sure he will be here in time for dinner though."

"First dinner as a whole family. Me, your father, Harry, Brooklyn, you, the Doctor and little Dayton," Amy said. "Come on, please say Nana," she said once again to Dayton who responded with a gurgle of happiness.

"Did he ever find out who Ava was?" Rory asked.

"If he has, he hasn't told me," River said with sadness in her voice. She didn't like it when the Doctor kept something from her. She couldn't remember much from the day she gave birth to her son, but she expected that the Doctor remembered everything.

"Yeah, it was sorta weird Mel," Amy said, giving up on getting Dayton to speak. "She just dropped us off and disappeared back to where ever she went. Didn't say a word."

Brooklyn suddenly ran into the kitchen, surprising everyone. "Mel, come and play!" she beamed grabbing Rivers hand and pulling her.

"What are we playing sweetie?" River asked Brooklyn as she was pulled into the living room.

"Everything," Brooklyn said happily.

"Yey!" Harry shouted as River entered the living room. He ran over to River and pulled her over to the mound of toys that he and Brooklyn shared.

Just as River sat down on the floor, she heard that all familiar sound. Brooklyn and Harry heard it too, "Is the Doctor here?" they both asked.

"Is that the Doctor," Amy asked as she walked into the living room with Dayton in her arms.

Suddenly the Doctor burst through the door, a big grin on his face, "Hello honey, I'm home," he said to River with a wink.

"And where the hell have you been?" she asked.

"Okay, let me explain River," the Doctor said.

"Please do," River replied.

"Can you remember when we got married in the parallel universe, when time was disintegrating?" he asked.

"Yeah, best and worst day of my life, why?" she replied.

"Well, you know I love you and I realize, from getting to know you, that you always wanted the big white wedding, wedding dress and cake and dancing," the Doctor said.

"I know, but I've got you, and Dayton. I'm happy sweetie," River said, smiling at the Doctor.

"Well, River Song. Daughter of the Ponds. Mother of my beautiful baby son," the Doctor started to say as he got down on one knee. He reached into he jacket pocket and pulled out a little black box, he opened it and inside was a beautiful ring. "Will you marry me again?"
