A Brand New Adventure

Chapter 2

River and the Doctor laid in bed, arms wrapped around each other and legs tangled. They listened to the sound of each others breathing. The Doctor buried his face in Rivers wild mass of curls, and River listened closely to the gentle heartbeats of her Doctor. They quickened with every second that ticked by on the clock in the background.

"You okay?" River asked, breaking the silence between them.

The Doctor buried his face into River curls and took a deep breath. "You smell nice," he replied, avoiding Rivers question.

River pulled away from the Doctors embrace and sat up in their bed. "Sweetie, please don't avoid my question."

"River, please lay back down," the Doctor said sadly.

"Not until you answer my question," River argued back, "Or I'll just not kiss you until you answer," River flirted.

A grin crept across the Doctors face, "You think you're so irresistible Professor Song," the Doctor flirted back.

"Oh, I am sweetie. That's why you can't keep your hands off me," she retorted.

The Doctor sat up and slowly reached out for Rivers waist, "Well, that may be true Song," he said before tickling River.

River let out a screech, and jerked her head back, head-butting the Doctor on the nose. "Owch, my head," River said as she rubbed the back of her head, oblivious to what she had done to the Doctor.

"River, that really hurt," the Doctor said painfully. He touched his nose gently, and then looked at his fingers to see blood. "Riv, I'm bleeding," the Doctor said panic stricken.

 River turned around and looked at the Doctors nose, "Sweetie, I'm sorry," River said with a laugh.

"River," the Doctor whined, "It really hurts."

"Let me go and get a medical kit," River said with a laugh once again. She got up and walked down to the medical bay.

Back in the bedroom, the Doctor used the edge of the duvet to try and stop the bleeding from his nose. 'Trust River ro break my nose' he thought to himself. He winced every time he dabbed his nose.

River walked back into th bedroom with a medical kit in her hand. "You better not be using the duvet to wipe away the blood," River scolded gently.

"No," the Doctor lied.

River sat on her knees next to the Doctor and started to dab a wipe around the Doctors bloody nose.

"Owch," the Doctor winced, "Be careful River!"

"You're such a baby," River teased, "And it isn't broken, just badly bruised. The bleeding should stop soon."

"Soon? What do you mean soon?" the Doctor asked.

River put the bloody wipe in the bedside bin. "I mean now sweetie. Just don't touch your nose, it will hurt." River said before kissing the Doctors forehead.

"Can I touch you now?" the Doctor said with a smirk.

River let out a small laugh, "Told you I'm irresistible," she said seductively as she lent backwards into his arms.

The Doctor put his chin on the top of Rivers head. "River Song, you bad girl."

"Shut up and sleep Doctor."

River was woken up by the crying of her infant son which was coming from the next room. "Shall I get him or do you.." she said, her voice trailing off when she saw that the Doctor wasn't in bed next to her.

"River, my nose looks huge," the Doctor shouted from the bathroom.

"I'll be back in a minute," River said sleepily as she left the bedroom.

"Momma!" Dayton cried out with small sobs.

"What is it honey?" River asked as she walked into her sons bedroom.

"Monsters Momma," Dayton said sadly, tears still falling.

River picked Dayton up out of his cot and held him in her arms. "What kind of monsters honey?" River asked yawning.

Dayton nuzzled into Rivers chest for comfort and ignoring his Mothers question.

River walked around the bedroom, bouncing Dayton in her arms, trying to get to get him back to sleep. "Do you want to sleep with me and Daddy tonight?" River asked quietly.

Dayton nodded into Rivers chest, "Momma, Daddy, sleep," he said tiredly.

River walked back over to Dayton's cot and grabbed his comfort blanket and dummy before walking back to her own room with the Doctor.

"Sweetie, Dayton's sleeping with..." River began to say, her voice trailing off when she saw the Doctors swollen nose. "Sweetie, what happened to your nose," she whispered, forgetting the incident earlier that night.

"You happen River," the Doctor replied.

River sat down on the bed and laid Dayton between the Doctor and herself. She put the dummy on the bedside table and the comfort blanket over her son, who despite Rivers shocked tone, was drifting back off to sleep.

"River, I can't believe what you have done to my nose," the Doctor said sadly.

"Sweetie, I'm so sorry," River replied with giggles in her voice.

"River, it's really not funny, and it hurts," the Doctor said, using a firm tone. "And why is Dayton in our bed?" he asked, confused.

River sighed, "He had a nightmare about monsters," she said as she laid back down in bed, pulling the covers over her.

"Fair enough," the Doctor said as he laid back down, "Night River, night Dayton," he whispered as he place a kiss on his sons and wife forehead.

"Night sweetie, and I'm sure your nose will be better in the morning," River said before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.
