___________________________________________________________________________________________
After dropping Rory and Amy off at Leadworth to visit family and friends The Doctor had some time to burn so he decided to visit another memory.
He sat on a bench in the gardens of Saint Mary church on Haven Road, in Chiswick waiting, hoping that Donna would make an appearance. Since their last meeting he tried desperately to think of a location that she might frequent during her day to day life and the only one he thought up of was the church she was suppose to get married in when he first met her.
As he sat and waited and thought about the young girl he met that carried Martha and Jenny’s namesake. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was more to her then just being Donna’s daughter. He remembered seeing Shaun at the wedding and found it curious that none of her features seemed to resemble his. If anything Martha seemed to take after her mother and his previous regeneration.
The memories of his previous self were still very fresh in his mind and during that timeline he knew that he and Donna never got the opportunity to become more than just mates. Which made the appearance of little Martha even more confusing to him.
Once again he cursed himself for being such a coward and a fool to let Donna slip from his life without telling her or showing her how much he loved her. But if the universe was kind he might just get a second chance
Donna walked down the street with her daughter in tow toward the church and as she got closer she saw Jonathan sitting in the garden to the side of the building. She smiled to herself, her Timelord was clever.
After their last meeting six months ago she thought she had scared him off with her Doctor comment but leave it to him to tempt fate. When she left the Agatha Christie convention she promised herself that if she ever saw him again she would come clean and tell him that she remembered.
Her daughter yanking on her jacket brought her out of her reminiscing, “Mummy there is the man we met before the one that liked my name.”
“Yes, it is sweetheart.” Donna replied admiring her daughter’s memory.
“Can we go say hi? He was nice.” Martha asked timidly.
“Yes, I think it would be a good idea to go say hi. Do you want to talk to him first?” Donna inquired.
Clapping her hands together Martha jumped up and down, “Race you mummy.” Donna gave her daughter a ten second head start then raced after her.
The Doctor was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice Martha till she jumped into his lap and squealed. “Hello again.” Waving toward the direction she came and called out, “I got here first mummy you lose.”
He looked in the direction of the little girl’s wave and saw Donna running slowly toward them then glanced down at the little girl in his lap with disbelief on his face. He was right when he told Amy that he was lucky there was proof of it sitting on his lap.
Donna stopped in front of duo and stated, “Yes, you won luv but I didn’t think you would jump on the Doctor’s lap.”
Jerking his head toward his beloved his mouth opened in shock at Donna’s statement, he stood up slowly placing Martha on the ground beside him and just stared at her mother.
Tilting her head to the side Donna opened her arms to him, “So spaceman are you going to stand there like a fish out of water or come give me a hug.”
The Doctor closed his mouth and moved closer to her not daring to touch her for fear that he may wake up from the most wonderful dream.
Instead he walked around her pulling out his sonic screwdriver and proceeded to scan her while rambling, “This is impossible you should be burning up by now. Why are you not burning up?”
As the scan finished he flicked his sonic open with his wrist he looked at the readings, “Oh this is so good, amazing in fact; the metacrisis is still there just diminished slightly and you have remembered, you actually have remembered. How much do you remember? How did this happen?”
Donna just rolled her eyes, “Well I see that some things remain the same after you regenerate you still babble.”
“I do not babble Donna I just think better out loud.”He stated plainly, “Besides many people think better out loud even if…..”
Donna moved closer and pulled on his tweed coat and kissed him effectively shutting him up. It only took a moment for the Doctor to return her kiss while tangling his fingertips within her hair, as they parted he placed his forehead against hers and whispered, “I have missed you Donna Noble.”
“And I have missed you too spaceman.” A tug at her coat brought her attention back to her daughter stepping away from the Doctor’s embraced she asked, “What is it sweetheart.”
Martha just looked up at her and asked, “Are you okay?”
Turning her head toward the Doctor’s face and looking at him lovingly she replied, “I am more than okay I am loved by the most wonderful person in all the universes.” Remembering what he had said to her on the rooftop so many months ago.
Martha just giggled, “Yea I know mummy because I love you. Now can we go eat I am very hungry?” Then she turned toward the Timelord, “Do you want to come to?”
Kneeling down till he was eye level to her he asked, “Do you want me to come along?”
“Of course or I would not have asked you.” She stated simply.
He clapped his hands while rising from the ground, “Good, food is always good shall we go ladies. I wonder if they will have some Jammie Dodgers with tea. I love a good biscuit.” He stated as he offered Donna the crook of his arm.
Taking the offered arm with one hand Donna wiggled the fingers of her other hand to her daughter, “Come along sweetheart let us go and get some lunch and find some Jammie Dodgers for, Mister Hyper.”
“But you said his name was the Doctor.” Martha stated.
Laughing as they walked the Doctor felt exhilarated there was still a lot to discuss, many questions that need to be answered, but all of it could wait till after tea and biscuits.
As the trio walked away from the church a women emerged from behind a tree with hatred and loathing in heart. She was supposed to be the one loved deeply by the Doctor not the red head that currently was on his arm.
When she saw Donna Noble she was shocked at first, she was led to believe that she was dead by a man that laid currently in one of the graves adjacent to the church. It didn’t matter she would take care of Donna later, she had killed once for her love and she would do it again to get what she desired. Walking in the opposite direction she started to make plans to get her Doctor back. Because she truly believed that they were destined to be together and no one was going to stand in the way of destiny not even Donna Noble.

Far away weaved within time itself three women sat around an oval table the first spoke with a slight Scottish accent, “The timelines are shimmering someone is trying to re-write time we cannot let that happen.”
The second responded, “I can sense it too but we are sworn not to interfere.”
The third commented with a London accent, “But, how can we not interfere when the future of the Gallifreyan race is threatened.”
The second woman pulled out an ancient blue book and looked closely at its contents, “The words are changing.”
The first asked, “What do you mean the words are changing?”
“It means that we must interfere the timelines must remain intact. We must protect the last of the Timelords and his family.”
“We are going to need help, we need to remain here and monitor the time weave.” The first stated her accent becoming thicker with her tension.
The second thought for a moment, “The one causing the ripples comes from a parallel universe so we should call upon the Doctor from that universe to help.” Then she looked at the third and continued, “I am sorry but your offspring will need to assist as well.”
The third nodded, knowing she was correct, she responded with a sigh, “I know once the other Doctor is brought here we will send him to get her.”
The three women clasped their hands together and sent a message to the Doctor from a different universe hoping that their message would be received by his TARDIS and transmitted. Then they opened a small crack between universes to allow the Doctor to move from his world into theirs.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
In another universe the Doctor sat in his library, his black leather coat removed lying nearby. He was reading one of the many books he owned trying to forget, for a short while, the horror of the last time war when an alarm sounded throughout the TARDIS.
Jumping from his chair he grabbed his coat and ran to the console room fiddling with the knobs he tried desperately to find the reason for the alarm when an image appeared before him of three women.
The women speaking in unison stated, “We are the Guardians of Time and we are in need of your assistance Timelord. Please come to the coordinates received by your TARDIS as soon as possible for the crack between universes will only remain for a short amount of time.”
When the image disappeared the Doctor looked at the console and stated gruffly in his northern accent, “This is going to be a rough ride old girl I hope you are ready.” With that he moved to the execution lever smiling broadly with excitement he moved it down causing the ship to move into time and space.

Date: 2011-01-07 09:26 pm (UTC)I agree. I liked Rose and I was okay with her until part of Doomsday and series 4. Ten2 and she wouldn't work out so swell unless you know, she actually grows up a little. or a lot. I have no idea how the Doctor thought that would work. Overestimating Rose much!

Date: 2011-01-08 02:47 am (UTC)oh man if he sees psycho Rose he will SO NEVER travel with her in his universe...he might look up his universe's Donna Noble though...especially when he sees how good she is for the other version of the Doctor. *yup I've started shipping Nine/Donna too...Nine would have been much better off with her then Rose*
oh man...did the blonde do something to 10.5!? I mean something must have happened for him not to have stopped her from crossing over...what did she mean by 'she had killed once for her love'...did she kill 10.5!? *starts hyperventilating*
oh Martha is JUST BRILLIANT! just like her mother.
can hardly wait for Donna's explanations. and she and Eleven KISSED! so...are she and Martha gonna travel with the Doctor now? wonder what the dynamics with Amy and Rory will be.

Date: 2011-01-08 04:53 am (UTC)All I am going to say about 10.5 is that he left a major footprint in Donna's life and I warn you that by the end of my story you will hate the blonde (Rose of course).
Martha is brilliant and will become more brilliant as the story progresses.
Of course I had to put the KISS into the story and there will be more romantic scenes with Donna and Eleven (I hope I continue to write 11 well.)
Unfortunatly the dynamics are not going to change to much in the TARDIS but that is okay.
