Hello Sweetie

Summary:

River and the Doctor are finally at a point in their time stream where they are both married. Unfortunately for the Doctor, his father-in-law can be very protective of his not-so-little girl. And he has a pointy sword. But how complicated will things get when they meet Rose, Martha, Jack Harkness, and a variety of others? Not to mention the amount of danger faced on something as simple as a honey moon.... (Disclaimer: I know, it sucks. A lot. In my defense, this was the first fanfic I wrote, and I like to think I've improved since this one was posted... *shudder* Also, it's in first person. Again: I'm so, so sorry.)

Chapter Text

"Doctor!" I yell over the hum of the TARDIS. "What is it, River?!" He yells back. "Sweetie, turn off the brakes!" "What? No! I like the noise!" I ignore him, and go over to flip some controls. "Ugh! River! I still don't see how you know all these things if I don't know them! And I'm the one that's supposed to be teaching you!" He says, frustrated. I grin. "Spoilers...."

He comes up to me and wraps his arms around my waist. "You bad bad girl. I'm actually quite sure you WANT to tell me. " "Not a bit." He gives me a light kiss, then walks to the doors. He sits and waits for me to do the same. Once I'm sitting beside him, I look across the Milky Way. "Why are we here?" I ask him. He gives me a smile. "We," he begins, "River Song, Never had a proper honeymoon." I smile at his thoughtfulness. I pull his head towards mine for a long kiss. His arms flail around for a minute, but finally settle on my waist. He does that every single time. I honestly had no intention of pulling away, but then I sensed something behind me. I whipped my micro laser blaster out in around 2 seconds flat. "Oi!" I hear mum yell. Wait, Mum? I lower the gun.

"Mum, what are you doing here? I thought we dropped you off." "Well, River, I just want a word alone with the Doctor here." She stands up and tugs the Doctor towards the library. I immediately go to the controls and open up camera footage in the library. What kind of wife would I be if I didn't eavesdrop?

Doctor's POV

"Amy, what is it?" I ask, exasperated. "Well, first of all, Doctor, let me say that you are a very awkward kisser." I look away, embarrassed. So she caught that scene with River and I. "And, Doctor, I'm going to try to be delicate with this, but I don't want to be a grandmother quite yet, alright?"
"I, erm, um..."

"Just try to make sure she doesn't get pregnant. I know you and her might, you know, that, which definitely is having a bad image in my mind... If you want a baby, then maybe, but remember she is my daughter. I have to look out for her. I mean, I trust you, but, yeah. Okay. Ughh, I never would've guessed I'd be having this conversation with you!" She rants.
"Amy, look, I understand. I think maybe we should drop you off now." I say as calmly as I possibly can. I walk towards the control room.

River's POV

I'm still laughing at how the Doctor looked in the library when he walks back in the control room. I quickly turn a knob and try to stop. "River, what's so funny?" "Nothing mum, I just think that maybe you need to go back to Dad now. We're already here." I give her a grin. She nods, and walks out.

Humming, I walk to the controls and flip a few switches.

"River?" the Doctor calls. "Yes, sweetie?" "Were you, by any chance, watching Amy and I's conversation?" "Now, why would you think that?" "Oh, shut up." "Make me." "Maybe I will." I smile, remembering when we had the same flirt round when we were getting Amy back from the Silence. This time, though, we weren't busy. He gently leans in and gives me a quick peck.

He thinks he's getting away that easy? I grab the back of his head and pull him towards me, then gently push my lips against his. He responds, adding pressure as well. We stay like that for a while, and then I open my mouth wider. He takes the hint and opens his as well. I don't do anything yet, though. I want him to. After I've almost given up on it, his tongue slides in. He moans after a few moments of this, giving me enough satisfaction. I gently turn my cheek. "I need to get changed." I say, hoping he'll get the hint. He does. "I do too." We walk to our bedroom together.

I begin to slide my shirt off, and he turns his back. "You're over 900 years old. You don't have to turn your back." He turns around, holding his TARDIS pajamas. "Alright, if you say so." I slide my skirt off. His eyes widen slightly, but he doesn't say anything. I pull my gown on, and wait for him to change. He does, even though his cheeks turn red in the process. Good grief, that man. He has on underwear!

"So, Melody." I wish I knew what was going on in that head of his. I roll my eyes and walk to him. "Yes, Doctor?" he looks into my eyes for a moment, and then surprises me by taking my face in his hands and kissing me forcefully. I stand there, just letting him. It's so rare for him to get like this. After a couple of minutes like that, I turn my head and whisper into his ear. "What is your name, Doctor?"

He just looks at me for a moment. "River, it's a dangerous thing to know."

I nod. "Obviously. Just tell me." He shakes his head. "I don't know if I should. It's a very-," he hesitates. "terrible thing to have to keep. It's dangerous. I don't want you to be in danger because of me."

"I've always wanted to know, and you would never tell me. I'm married to you! Why is that not enough?" I say, exasperated.

He frowns. "It's scary." I roll my eyes. "What isn't in my life?"

He leans over my shoulder, whispers his name, and I gasp as he tells me something so wonderful, so scary, so amazing, that for a moment all I can do is look at him. With that, I deliver a slap to his face. "Ow! You little....Dalek! What was that for? I thought that-" he was cut off by me jamming my face onto his.

And that's how we stand for the next 5 minutes in our bedroom. I only end that to get a breath of clear air and to begin kissing his jaw. "River?" I look at his eyes. "Yes?" "Are you sure? Is this really what you want to do? I mean, I don't have a lot of experience with this, and, you heard what Amy said, and-" I cut him off for the second time with my lips. He really needs to learn when to shut up. Our un-needed pajamas are on the floor within the next few seconds.

Doctor's POV

Ok... um ok. Wow. Ok. That was... wow. Yowzah.

I look over at her, sleeping. That woman. I get out of bed to get dressed. When I stand up, though, I feel her slap me. I can tell I'm blushing madly as I turn around to look at her. She smirks. "Good morning, sweetie." I glance down past her face and then linger there, then realizing I'm also standing there with no clothes on. I rush to the wardrobe for my trousers.

"You know what?" I hear River say. "What?" I say back. "Why don't we go see mum and dad a little while today? Actually at their house? We're already here, anyway. We haven't seen them normally as a family in a house."

River's POV

"Yes, um, about that..." I hear him say. "Spit it out, then." "Well, you don't think, that you could possibly be, erm, pregnant, do you?" he says awkwardly. I laugh. "I took care of it sweetie. Now let's go see mum and dad." I head for the door. "River?" "mhhmm?" "Don't you think you should have some clothes on?"

"Why? You don't like seeing this?" I gesture, pretending to be hurt he would say such a thing. "Of course I do! I really would love to kiss you all over right now and not stop, but-" he then realizes what he just said.

"Did I just say that out loud?" I smile. "Yes, dear." I walk past him into our room. I can feel his gaze on me the whole way. I step into our room, and get dressed. Once that's done, I walk towards the control room once again. As I pass him to get to the door, I give a little slap to his bum

He blushes yet again, and gives me a quick kiss to the cheek.
