Author's note: This story takes place after season six. Has Doomsday/Journey's End spoilers and very minor spoilers for A Good Man Goes To War/The Wedding of River Song.

P.S. Twelfth Doctor announcement in four hours for me! Unbelievably excited!

River Song and the Doctor were running, faster than they ever had before. "Please don't let them catch me," River cried out to him, "I don't want to hurt you again, I love you."

"I will never let them take you," The Time-Lord assured, looking back to see if the Silence were still following them.

"Doctor, I-" River began, tears streaming down her face when she noticed more tally marks on her arm.

"River. They won't take you. Now come on, the TARDIS is right around this corner."

They ran into the ship and immediately knew they would have to get away fast. "Where can we go that's safe from them?!" River asked.

"I know one place," The Doctor said. "But it's dangerous."

River nodded, and watched as he set the coordinates for the ship. The TARDIS lurched and shook like mad, as he pulled levers and looked at screens. "Doctor... Where are we going?" The ship stopped and he gave her a huge grin and gestured for the door. She walked out and saw they were in Cardiff, on Earth. "Sweetie," She said, "We're on Earth," She walked back inside the ship to take them somewhere else.

"River, wait, take another look!" He exclaimed. "We're in a parallel world, the Silence aren't here."

"But... How?!" She said, pulling out some grass and looking at it closely. "You're right, but why here? Do you know someone around here?"

"You could... Say that," He muttered.

"I know everyone from your past, Doctor, so who lives here?"

He looked away and absent-mindedly fixed his bow-tie. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver, twirled around, and checked the readings. "This way!"

River laughed to herself. 'This crazy Time-Lord will never cease to surprise me,' She thought.

She followed him to a busy road, and he twirled around with his screwdriver again. "Oh..." He muttered, hitting the device.

"What is it?" River asked, putting her hand on his shoulder.

"They live in Canada now... Back to the TARDIS!" He exclaimed, running excitedly back to the ship.

"Who?!" River groaned, "The TARDIS is that way, Doctor," She pointed.

He spun around, grabbed her hand, and ran in the direction she pointed. "Right. Knew that."

When they arrived in Canada, they were surprised to find themselves in the middle of the woods. "Who would live here?" River asked. He just grinned again and ran towards a cottage, spotting several animals on the way. The cottage had stone walls and a chimney at the top, it was pretty large, but there were no other buildings in sight. It didn't even have a drive way or a car. "Just tell me wh-"

Suddenly, the door to the cottage swung open and a girl with straight blonde hair stood there. She was holding a musket, pointing it at River and the Doctor. "Who are you?! And what have you done with the Doctor?!" They both stood, mouths agape staring at the girl. "Don't play dumb with me, I heard the noise of the ship! And I will uh, shoot!"

"R...Rose?" The Doctor murmured.

"How do you know my name? My husband will be back soon and he will kill both of you if you hurt me!"

"Rose... It's me, I'm the Doctor," Tears of joy streamed down the Doctor's face.

Rose put down the musket and approached him cautiously. "Prove it."

"I... We defeated the Slitheen in Downing Street, we went to the New New York hospital together and stopped the cats... Or should I say New New New New-"

"It.. Is you..." Rose sniffled, closing the distance between them and kissing him passionately.

"Rose... My precious Rose."

River stood there awkwardly, a stab of jealousy hitting her. Who was this girl? Why had the Doctor never mentioned her before?

"You've regenerated," Rose said quietly, "How?"

"It's a long story," He stroked her hair. "Oh... Where is um... Me?" He asked.

"John is out getting groceries, he should be back any minute. Come on inside," Rose said, wiping away her tears.

"I'm River Song," River extended her hand to Rose, "Archaeologist."

"You're his new companion, eh?" Rose said, shaking her hand.

"Bit more than that really," She winked, and the Doctor blushed.

They walked inside the house and the Doctor commented, "Looks bigger on the inside." The foyer of the house had a small fireplace and a comfy looking tan couch. A chandelier hung from the ceiling, illuminating all of it. Rose led them through a door and into a dining room, which had a similar chandelier and an ornate glass table with eight chairs.

Rose laughed and sat them down at the posh table. "Nice place isn't it?" Rose said, preparing tea. "John didn't like it at first but when we visited he changed his mind."

"Who exactly is John?" River whispered to the Doctor.

"It's a bit confusing," He muttered.

"That must be him," Rose said happily, hearing a car pull in. "I'd better go help him carry the groceries in." Rose walked out of the room to help her husband.

"Before I met you, Rose was my companion, and well, it's a long story, but I had a human clone of me made, and he went into a parallel universe with Rose and they well, got married apparently."

River nodded deciding not to ask questions, "Where can I get a clone of you?" She winked.

He flushed bright red, "Um... Ah, well. He was made through a metacr-"

"I'm kidding, why would I need a clone when I have the real you?" River leaned in close to him. He could feel her breathe on his neck.

"Er, uh," He ran a hand through his hair nervously.

At that moment John and Rose walked into the room, hand in hand.

"Hello, me! Hello River!" John said, hugging them both.

"Although..." River whispered into the Time-Lord's ear, "You do look good in that form."

"So, Doctor," Rose began, "Why did you come here in the first place? Did something happen?"

"You could say that, we need some help," He said.

"Me and my husband are being chased," River said.

Rose's eyes widened, "Doctor, you got married?" The question came out ruder than Rose had intended.

"Well, um, yes, and I love River, but I also love you," He looked at John's disapproving glare, "Well when I say I love you I mean you married my clone and I do love you but then I met River and I love her, and well you an-"

"Doctor," River said, pulling him close.

"Huh?" He said, shivering at her touch.

"Shut up," River and Rose said simultaneously to him.

He nodded, "Right, shut up, I can do that."
