[For a long moment, a few minutes at most, River's not sure how to do this. It's not the first time her parents have disappeared in her lifetime, but somehow this time it hurts the most. Maybe because she'd spent so much time with them, time she wouldn't have otherwise had]

Amy Pond and Rory Williams have left.

[She's sitting in the hallway, running her fingertips over the hilt of the blade in her hands. A ghost had dropped it off, it had belonged to Rory. A true Roman sword.

That's not the only thing the castle had dropped off either]

And apparently I'm a mother. A baby girl, I've named her Amelia.

[The sound of an infant cooing happily in the background. She had the baby in a small stroller next to her, swaddled comfortably in blankets]

If anyone is wondering, the Doctor took the TARDIS and left not long after he found out about Amy and Rory leaving. I don't know where he went, but he probably needs some alone time to deal with all of this. I wager he'll be back soon.

[Which was selfish of him.They might have been his companions, but they were her parents too]

My parents leave and I become a parent myself. Perfect timing as usual...

They'll have to go through quite a few people. [Himself included.]

Though, I have read that the babies go away after a week. I think they come back every year, though.

At least they go away somewhere safe and unreachable.

They do seem to be well cared for when they come back.

[Carson puts a hand on River's shoulder and smiles.] That's something to be thankful for, at least.

For some people, anyway. It's strange how I didn't carry this child, didn't even give birth to it, but....she's still a part of the Doctor and I.

[It had been bizarre at first, but River had one of those hearts that could easily melt when a baby smiles]

I feel the same about Rodney. It could be a by-product of the castle.

[He bounces the baby in his lap slightly.]

But I could care bloody less
