Howling:The Doctor and River's child

The Howling → The Doctor and River's child

There be spoilers about un-released stories here.
Run back to the forums if you're scared.

OK, going out on a bit of a limb here, but in TIA/DOM we see that Amy has stomach cramps after seeing the Silence, and this is later linked to her pregnancy. We also see that River suffers from the same cramps. So it is possible that at this time that River is also pregnant - presumably with the Doctor as the father.

Now imagine, if certain elements are taking so much trouble to try to kidnap Melody/River who is only part Timelord, what lengths would they go to to get hold of a child of River and The Doctor ? River even hints at this in the TIA when talking about the body of a Timelord.

When we see River later in her timeline, there is no mention of a child or of her being pregnant. So if she did have the child presumably it would be secreted away somewhere for protection. Now where would be a safe place to keep a child ? Maybe a maximum security prison like the Stormcage ! River also mentions that she cannot come with the Doctor as she has a "duty" or a "promise" to keep. What if that duty is looking after their child ? What if rather than River murdering somebody in cold blood, somebody sacrificed themselves so that River could be incarcerated in the Stormcage before she gave birth ?

Any thoughts on this ? To me it seeems to tie up a lot of loose ends. 187.58.109.166 23:02, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

She did say she was quite the screamer...
