The Doctor is watching everything from a few feet away, watching as these people celebrate and rejoice and smile.
It makes leaving a little harder.
He's looking for April and JD so he can say a quick goodbye but really, anyone he's ran into recently will get a hug, kiss and jelly baby before he disappears for a bit.
And he quickly returns the hug, kissing her once n each cheek as well. "It was my pleasure," he informs. Really, it was a moment he was going to hold dear for the rest of his regenerations.
I have to say that you two did a pretty good job as wel."
He moves close, pressing a kiss to her nose and then her forehead. "You two stay happy, though, promise? I want to hear nothing but boring stories of your blissful lives together when I come back."
April takes a moment to wrap her arms around his waist tightly, burying her face in his chest.
"I promise," she says softly, her voice a tiny bit wobbly. "Come back soon, okay? I'm relying on you to bring me back all sorts of interesting stories to tide me over while I'm pregnant and can't move."
"I will," he promises, hugging her close and not letting go. "I'll even come back with something for you all. Not sure what but it will be amazing, I swear it."
"Stay safe, April," he says before finally letting go. "Stay safe and happy."
And he's turning away because if he doens't do it now, he'll never face what he knows is coming.
He smiles softly. "Don't," he tells her. "People spend their entire lives waiting for me and that's such a waste. Just listen up every now and again, maybe you'll hear the TARDIS."

He leans in and gives her another hug. "You two will have to tell me all about the amazing adventures of married life once I get back, alright?"

Partially because she'll miss him, and partially because... if it weren't now, she'd want to go with him.

He's going away to do something very unpleasant and he doesn't want her to be a part of that.
"I am but only for a while. I should be back soon enough. Just...Have to take care of a few things."

"I'll wait for you," she says, suddenly. "No matter how long it takes. And if I'm not here, try JD's world, okay?"
Somehow, she feels the need to say that.

It doesn't matter what he says - even if she never saw him again, part of her will always be waiting for him.
