Oh, I'm so glad you like it. It really is an inspired prompt. The temptation, I'll admit, is just to write domestic little scenes for them, but I almost feel this needs a real plot.
Not sure if this is relevant to your story, but in my head River has always known that Amy was their daughter - since Amy's birth would be in her past . . .
**SPOILERS**
Well, my plan is that River and the Doc are not, in fact, Amy's parents. But when the Big Bang was going on and Amy was trying to remember her parents, per the Doctor's instructions, she couldn't. So while he brain is thrashing around for memories, it latches onto the two people in her living memory who've given her the most parental-type attention: the Doctor and River. Given that Aunt Sharon doesn't seem particularly maternal, I think it's just possible they are the most parental figures Amy can think of. And so the universe did its best to accommodate her. Hope that sounds interesting to you.
