“How big do you think the baby is?” she asked him.
“What?” He reached out a hand, placed it on the swell of her belly. “I dunno, exactly. Big enough. I mean, not big enough to be born, but big enough that you’re progressing quite nicely.”
Rose, laying on her back on their bed, looked down at herself. “I’m big as a house,” she said, mournfully.
“You’re not. Unless you’re talking about a Cyllic house, they’re probably about the size of your stomach, come to think of it, because they’re fairly small creatures and their houses have domed roofs and…” The Doctor trailed off, catching Rose’s expression. “I’m not helping, am I?”
She glared. “Not really, no.”
He paused. “Cyllics are really cute. I mean, if that helps.”
“Doesn’t help, Doctor.”
“Okay.” He sat on the bed beside her, hand still rubbing at her belly, almost absently. “You take my breath away, you know.”
She blushed a bit. “No, I don’t.”
“Yes, you do.”
“Stop. You’re just trying to make me feel better because I’ve established my own gravitational pull,” she grumbled.
“No, I’m not. You’re gorgeous. Maybe-“ He waggled his eyebrows- “you need for me to prove to you how gorgeous you are.”
Rose thought that proposal over. “It depends.”
He looked hurt. “Depends?”
“Tell me how you to propose to prove it.”
“Well.” He considered. “You know. If you roll on your side, I can enter you from behind. Helps take your giant stomach out of the equation.”
Rose stared at him.
“I was doing so well before I said that, wasn’t I?” he realized.
She stared at him some more.
“Can we go back, to before I said that, and I will revise what I say to-“
“Go and get me ice cream,” said Rose.
