Over the many times River had come to see Methos, she never thought she'd one day be doing so like this. Normally, she crashes into his carefully-built life, sometimes quite literally, sweeping him up into adventure, or into bed, or sometimes both. That was their relationship, it was how it had been, in his case, for hundreds of years. But today, her arrival will have significantly more impact than it'll ever have.

She takes care in tracking Methos down, she chooses her time and place, to make sure he's known her long enough, that their relationship is strong enough. That's all she can hope for, as she makes her way into his house, as she often does, where she'll wait for him to return home. She's not familiar with this house, so she takes her time to study it, pick up clues about the new life he's made for himself. She takes note of the books on the shelves, pictures on the wall, trying to form a picture of the Methos she'll meet today.

She only hopes it's one who'll be ready for this bombshell - because River Song is pregnant.

"Then we'll show it to them." Methos had planned to see it all himself without the aid of time travel, but he had to confess a curiosity to see it sooner. Not that he'd be likely to admit that aloud any time soon. "And we'll make sure they know they are loved." That was all they could do and this child would be. They would be cherished.

"Always," she promises, without a moment's thought. Never would she let any son or daughter of hers feel anything less than that. She looks to Methos, her eyes meeting his as she smiles. "Just as I love you." She doesn't hold back in saying it, she doesn't have to anymore, and when he's past the point of not knowing, she'll never pass an opportunity to remind him how important he is to her. Not just anybody can keep River coming back time and time again, that makes him very special indeed.
