In the quiet countryside, a cockerel crows. A very heavily pregnant Amy is mixing ingredients in a bowl when she suddenly puts it down and gasps.

"Rory!" Amy shouts, a long-haired Rory returns home on his bicycle "Rory, it's starting!" Rory drops his bike to the ground and runs inside to only find Amy contentedly eating cake mix.

"Ah. Ok, ok" Rory panics.

"False alarm," Amy says, her mouth full of cake mix.

"What?" Rory asks.

"Well, I don't know what it feels like. I've never had a baby before" Amy says, the sound of the TARDIS materialising makes Amy get up.

"No," she says.

"I know, leaf blowers. Use a rake" Rory shouts.

"No, it's..." the TARDIS parks herself directly outside the front window "I knew. I just knew" Rory and Amy run outside, the Doctor has to try and step over a small rockery to get out, I sigh to myself as he knocks a brick down, I jump and land on the grass without destroying the garden bed, Rory is the first one out.

"Rory!" the Doctor says.

"Doctor, Seer!" Rory shouts.

"I've crushed your flowers," the Doctor says.

"Oh, Amy will kill you" Rory replies.

"Where is she?" I ask.

"She'll need a bit longer," Rory says.

"Whenever you're ready, Amy," the Doctor says, just then Amy waddles out

"oh, way-hey! You've swallowed a planet!"

"I'm pregnant," Amy says.

"You're huge" I say smiling.

"Yeah, I'm pregnant."

"Look at you. When worlds collide" the Doctor says.

"Doctor, Seer, I'm pregnant."

"Oh, look at you both. Five years later and you haven't changed a bit, apart from age and size" I grin.

"Oh, it's good to see you, Doctor, Seer."

"Are you pregnant?" I ask.

*Time skip*

"Ah, Leadworth. Vibrant as ever" the Doctor says.

"It's Upper Leadworth, actually. We've gone slightly upmarket" Rory says.

"Where is everyone?" I ask.

"This is busy. Ok, it's quiet, but it's really restful and healthy. Loads of people here live well into their nineties" Amy says.

"Well, don't let that get you down," the Doctor says as we all squish onto a bench.

"It's not getting me down," Amy says.

"Well, we wanted to see how you were. You know us, we don't just abandon people when they leave the TARDIS. This Time Lord's for life. You don't get rid of your old pals the Doctor and Seer so easily" the Doctor says.

"Hmm. You two came here by mistake, didn't you?"

"Yeah, bit of a mistake. But look, what a result. Look at this bench. What a nice bench. What will they think of next? So. What do you do around here to stave off the, you know..." I look around.

"Boredom," Amy says.

"Self-harm" I say.

"We relax," Rory says.
