The Parenting Meme

HOW IT WORKS:
➔ Post with your characters, one per comment please.
➔ Others tag your muse with a number choice. Either use the RNG or pick whichever you like. For optimum fun, be adventurous! Throw random characters at each other and see what fun shenanigans you can get up to.
➔ Congratulations! Now you're parents. Hopefully you won't screw this up too much.
➔ Have fun!

01. You’ve just gotten the news, you’re pregnant. Time to tell your spouse. OR You’ve just gotten the news, you’re approved for adoption! Time to tell your spouse.
02. Oh my God, you’re in labor! OR Oh my God, time to meet your adoption prospect.
03. It’s the first night home with your new baby. Good luck.
04. Now you know why they call it the terrible twos. How are you and your spouse coping?
05. It’s your little one’s first day of school. You and your spouse are seeing them off.
06. Sitting in the stands for your kid’s big sports game. You two cheer as loud as you can!
07. The only thing worse than a two-year-old is a teenager. Time to discuss what's an appropriate punishment.
08. Hopefully you’ve got fresh batteries in your camera for prom pictures. Maybe your spouse remembered.
09. Your kid is off to college. You can’t believe the number of boxes you’ve got to fit in your car and carry to their dorm.
10. You’re older, wiser and probably going to cry at your kid's wedding. At least you two still have each other.

[River doesn't seem surprised. In fact, she seems downright amused that their daughter was following in her footsteps. She'd been a magnet for trouble ever since the day she was born]

Well, I suppose we could always ground her to the TARDIS.

[ he's proud too but he's starting to receive a lot of phone calls... phone calls aren't always good. ]

And we both know how well that would end. We might as well let her throw a party for her 18th birthday in the glass palace of the glass king of the glass planet of Verto!

[ on the other hand. ]

Actually, that sounds rather fun.

[ stops himself. time to be a parent. be a parent. he makes the worst parent. ]

... Aaa, no, no, no, concentrate, River, concentrate! There is a good reason why teenagers spend great amounts of time grounded in their rooms and I'm about to discover that reason.

[Oh Doctor, this is why you can't be the stern parent. She can already tell a good, stern mother-daughter talk was in order here]

I'll have a few words with her. Don't forget, I was doing grand theft auto when I was only a bit older then her.

[She laughs softly, ah Berlin seemed so long ago]

She's entirely our daughter, my love.
