Ola!
Oh my god, this is the last chapter. (Well it's more like an authour's note really.)

I can't even.

I think I am going to write that pre-quel because I can't quite let go of Mia yet but not just now, I need a couple of weeks to grieve the end of this story, which has been my baby!
I have loved, loved, loved writing this story! And I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who read, reviewed and enjoyed this! I hope it's been good, I hope you liked it and it wasn't too terrible!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

* 2 YEARS LATER *

The Doctor and River were in flight, on their way to visit the newly formed Tiabeck Galaxy.

The Doctor was flying the TARDIS while River was off doing whatever she was doing. The Doctor had managed to distract himself quite well from Mia ever since that terrible day on Heni. He had made sure he went to all of the places that were bustling and busy and always moving, moving, moving.

He tried his very hardest not to think of his daughter's pile of ashes sat beneath a willow tree billions of light years away.

But every now and then, every once in a very long while, Mia's face would suddenly burst in front of his eyes and she'd force him to stop. To stand still and grieve for the daughter he had met and lost on the very same day.

And in those moments he would wonder if there was any point in it all. What was the point of the universe? What was the use of life if his daughter had to die in order to save it? There was none. Without Mia, a girl he didn't even know, he didn't see why he should carry on.

But then, of course, he looked at River or remembered Amy and Rory and all the others, Donna and Rose and Martha and he snapped out of it. But sometimes, sometimes he considered ending it all in the exact same way as his daughter had.

River, on the other hand, thought of Mia every single moment of every single day.

No matter how hard the Doctor tried to distract her it would not work. Every time she closed her eyes Mia's face was smiling before her. But River was a lot more optimistic than the Doctor. River knew that they both had Mia to come so Mia's face did not torture her as it did her husband, it gave her hope for the future. It made her feel secure in the fact that she had the happiest times of her life to come. When River thought of Mia it made her unbelievably happy.

So it was with a huge smile on her face that she walked into the console room and up to her husband.

"Oh there you are! I was wondering where you'd got to! Right, so, off to Tiabeck, yes? It's meant to be absolutely beautiful you know, it's supposedly one of the greatest galaxies ever to-"

"Doctor..."

"form! There are whole planets that are only just beginning! We'll be able to witness the birth of some of the most mighty races ever to cross the universe River! We'll be among the first to see-"

"Doctor..."

"the start of civilisations and the creation of brilliant worlds that will be wise and magnificent and-"

"DOCTOR!"

"Yes?"

"I'm pregnant."
