Shattering Time [5] (The Parallel Series) ✓

Amy's Choice - Two

Sorry that there was no Friday update. I was super busy with college work and was in wales the whole weekend so I didn't have time to prepare a chapter.

TARDIS

"Ah, it's colder." Amy shivered in the TARDIS wrapping the blanket closer.

"The four of us have to agree, now, which is the dream." The Doctor pulled the Stone in his arms seeing her shivering and struggling to keep warm.

"It's this, here." Rory nodded.

"He could be right. The science is all wrong here. Burning ice?"

"No, no, no. Ice can burn." The Doctor shook his head.

"Sofas can read." The Stone muttered.

"It's a big universe." The Doctor waved his hand at the humans. "We have to agree on which battle to lose. All of us, now."

"Okay, which world do you think is real?"

"This one." Both Time Lords replied. As much as the Stone honestly wished that having a child with the Doctor was true; was it really though? She would have disagreed with the results, her own child would live in fear for all its life, their fear. Not even starting on the fact that it didn't seem real, it didn't feel real. But then again she never had carried any of her other children inside of her they were all loomed.

"No, the other one." Rory shook his head at the Doctor.

"Yeah, but are we disagreeing or competing?" The Doctor questioned raising a brow. "Or should I say but are you competing?"

"Doctor!" The Stone shouted in horror hitting his head shocked that he was actually doing this now. Of all the opportunities he had to have this discussion with the human man it was now. The Stone pitched the bridge of her nose wondering to the other side of the TARDIS giving them some space. This wasn't for her to explain to Rory.

"Competing?" Amy frowned. "Over what? Oh." She blinked following the Stone letting the two to figure whatever their issue was out.

"Rory." The Doctor shook his head lowering his voice. "I'm not competing with you. I'm married to my best friend, the woman I have loved for centuries since I was merely a little boy. I have known her my whole life and I'm not about to run off with someone else. I love the Stone, enough to decide that if she died I would rather be dead as well." He informed holding up his hand showing his ring. "We're united the Stone and I, its a special bond which means that if one of us seemed to... permanently die then we both would."

"Sorry," Rory muttered. "I just... I just thought."

"No, it's fine." He nodded. "Your worried and upset for her I understand trust me, had that feeling for centuries, still have it, every time I look at the Stone I just know how lucky I am, I lost her once. I'm not ready to lose her again." He sighed staring at the time rotor before shaking his head looking at his wristwatch. "Nine minutes till impact."

"What temperature is it?" Amy questioned the Time Lady wondering back around to the men hearing that the Doctor wasn't speaking about the Time Lady anymore. Admittedly the redhead listened in on the conversation and swallowed hard tears in her eyes. She could have ended up ruining the Time Lords relationship and made them stuck with each other for the rest of their lives. The amount of love the Doctor shared for the Stone was unbelievable something that she didn't think would be possible for someone so old loving the same woman for almost the whole of his life.

"Outside?" "I don't know..." The Stone shook her head. "It would take a lot of zeros... too many zeros... it would take me to read the entire Harry Potter series twice until I had anywhere near enough zeros to get close to the temperature outside."
