Disclaimer: Oh how I wish once upon star but alas it didn’t happen.
Summary: Doctor (11) and Donna are together again and living life to its fullest but unfortunately Rose is bound and determined to get the Doctor for herself. Can the Doctor (9) from another universe and Donna’s daughter, Martha save the day.
Author’s note: For those of you who love Rose I am sorry. Thanks for reading and enjoying my story there is not much further to go.
Martha and Jack appeared in a park and heard Donna call out, “Martha sweetheart, come on we have to go before it gets to dark.”
“Coming Mummy,” little Martha replied, and then she asked, “Is the Doctor coming to see us tonight?”
Smiling down at the little girl Donna replied, “Yes, he will be coming for a visit tonight.”
Martha clapped her hands together, “I really like it when he comes and visits.”
“So do I sweetheart, so do I.” Donna exclaimed happily.
Quickly the travelers from the future hid behind a bush so they would not be discovered and watched as Donna grabbed her daughter’s hand.
As they started to walk away Jack and Martha emerged from their hiding spot and started to follow using the evening shadows as coverage.
They continued to follow the mother and daughter back to their home and once they were inside Jack spoke up, “The Doctor said that Rose probably had someone watching the house.”
“Who do you think that person is?” Martha Jones asked.
“I don’t know luv, but if I am guessing correctly we should find out soon.”
Martha scanned the area then grabbed Jack’s jacket as she saw a blonde woman come out of the shadows and pointed in her direction.
Jack watched as Rose walked away down the street away from the Noble household toward a parked car.
Jack cussed, “Damn, she has a car. Martha keep an eye her while I get us a ride.”
Jack hurried away to parking lot of cars and kneeling down in between them he tried several doors until he found one unlocked, crying out in triumph, “Yes, it is about time.”
Quickly getting inside he reached under the dash and pulled out some wires, “Man I wish I had the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver right now.”
Connecting a few more wires together the car roared to life, putting it into drive he speed down the street to pick up his partner in time.
Martha, meanwhile hid behind a tree periodically looking out to make sure Rose had not left yet. She noticed that the blonde was typing in some information in a GPS and looking for the best route. Martha’s heart stopped as Rose’s car purred to life once the address was in place on the GPS.
Moving away from the tree the young doctor tracked the departing car hoping that Jack would hurry up.
As if hearing her cue a car pulled up beside her and she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her lover’s voice. “Come on nightingale get in.”
Jumping in the stolen vehicle they roared after Rose when Martha spoke up, “I guess Rose’s is the spy that we were looking for.”
“Yeah, but the question is where is she going now.” The immortal stated.
They followed Rose to an empty building and parked the car a few blocks away. Getting out of the car Jack asked, “Do you still have the perception key that the Doctor gave you?”
Pulling it from her pocket she smiled, “I never leave home without it.”
“Oh Martha Jones you are brilliant.”
“Don’t you forget it handsome.” She responded as she placed the key around her neck.
Jack punched a few buttons on his wrist manipulator then grabbed her hand, “Let’s go and find out what Rose is up to.”
The hidden couple watched as Rose entered a building and followed her soon after. Remaining very still they watched as she approached a man and retrieved a suitcase from him.
Putting it on the table they continued to watch as she opened it to examine the contents.
Rose Tyler closed the lid of the suitcase she had acquired and asked the man in front of her “Is this going to be enough?”
The man standing before her chuckled, “Yea it is enough to take down a small building.”
Rose handed over the money and stated coldly, “I was never here and if someone finds out I was, I will kill you.”
Jack gasped as he heard Rose threaten the man which caused Martha to grab his hand slowly so not to be detected giving him some support as she sensed his emotions boiling to the surface.
Swallowing the man felt a fear from the callousness of her statement he stepped away from her adjusting his jacket, “Don’t worry I will keep my mouth shut.”
Turning she walked away calling back to him, “Oh I know you will.”
Jack looked at Martha confused at Rose’s final statement when he noticed a device coming to life not far from where they were standing.
Grabbing Martha’s hand he cried out, “We need to run right now.”
Hearing the urgency in his voice Martha started to run keeping in step with Jack thankful she kept in shape. Pulling the door open that led to the outside an explosion rocketed behind them throwing them to the ground.
Jack covered Martha’s body with his trying to keep her safe from all the shrapnel flying through the air due to the explosion.
Slowly he released her from his weight and looked at Martha, seeing that she had a huge gash to her forehead he rummaged through his pockets and pulled out some bandages and placed them against the bleeding wound.
Seeing that her lover was injured as well she tore the bottom half of her shirt and did her best to wrap his own injuries.
As they finished their minimal first aid they heard a cry off in the distance.
In the light of the fire burning, a woman cried out unheard as she looked at her house destroyed by the shockwave of the recent explosion, “My child is in there someone please help me!”
Exploding into action Martha and Jack moved toward the damaged house using his wrist computer they searched for some sort of life sign that the child was inside. More quickly than any search unit, they followed the beep on his wrist till they were over the debris that the child was under.
Removing the debris quickly Martha yelled triumphantly, “There he is and I think he is going to be okay.”
Picking up the child Jack brought him to his mother they watched as she checked her son over.
Pulling Martha away from the touching scene he grabbed onto her so that the perception filter could cover both of them.
The mother raised her head to thank the kind strangers but found they were gone. Glad her son was okay she said a little prayer thanking God for sending his guardian angels.
Once they were away from the fire Jack reluctantly let go of Martha and stated, “I think we need to call the Doctor and tell him what has happened.”
Nodding her head, “I agree and besides I think we could use the TARDIS’s med bay right now.” She stated as she saw her lover’s blood seep through her make shift bandage.
Typing in the number to the Doctor Jack waited for an answer.
The Doctor sat in the captain’s chair inside the main chamber of the TARDIS, once again thinking about the fiery red head that had been pushed into his lonely life by the Guardian’s of Time.
He dropped off Martha at her parent’s house, two standard Earth days ago, and since her departure he found himself missing her presence. Trying once again to analyze the emotions he was feeling without much success, he was at a complete loss as to what to do.
His TARDIS spoke to him, “You need to stop my Doctor some things cannot be analyzed or explained.”
“So what am I to do just go with the flow live in the moment?”
“Exactly, my Doctor, exactly.”
“You are not much help, you know that.” But the only response the Doctor received was the ring of his TARDIS phone
“Yes, is that you Jack?” The Doctor asked.
“Hey Doc we need you and Martha at these coordinates as soon as possible. She has done something terrible once again.” The immortal responded on the other end of the line.
“What has she done, Jack are you and Doctor Jones okay?” Worry apparent in the Timelord’s voice.
“Oh don’t worry about us, we have been through worse but we could use your med bay we need a bit of bandaging up.”
“Hang tight Jack I will get Martha and we will be there soon.” The Doctor stated before ending the call.
Martha Jennifer Noble sat on her parent’s porch looking out at the stars wondering for the millionth time how her Doctor was doing. If she was honest with herself she would admit that her feeling for the man in leather had grown immensely in the short time she had been with him.
Hearing soft footfalls on the wooden deck she turned and saw her mum walking toward her.
Donna handed her daughter a cup and tea and sat next to her before asking, “So who is the guy you keep thinking about?”
Shocked Martha denied, “There is no one that I am thinking of.”
Turning toward her daughter she tilted her head, “Don’t tell me that there is no one, missy, I have seen the look in your eyes. So tell me about this bloke that smells of leather and lemongrass.”
Deciding that honest was the best policy especially when it came to her mum Martha responded, “He is amazing and wonderful.”
“Do you love him, Martha?”
Looking at her mum she replied, “I don’t know mum I haven’t known him very long. All I know is that he is always in the forefront of my mind.”
Nodding in understanding Donna stated, “I know how you feel sweetheart, I feel the same way when I think of both of your father’s.” after a brief pause she continued, “I need you to promise me something.”
“Anything mum.” Her daughter replied.
“Promise me that whoever this bloke is that you will follow your heart and if it doesn’t work out you come back home to us.”
“I promise mum.”
“Good, now there is one other thing, if it works out don’t let him die alone.” Martha tried to interrupt but was quelled by her mum’s hand, “Your father died alone and I would not want any other person to succumb to the same fate.”
Martha’s phone buzzed looking at it she saw that it was the TARDIS calling, “Hold on mum I need to take this call.
Dialing Martha’s number the Doctor waited for her to answer, “Yeah hello.” He heard and his hearts skipped a beat as he heard her voice.
“Sorry to cut your trip short beautiful but Jack needs us.” He explained.
“Okay I will meet you at the original location.”
“No, there is no time for you to walk I will pick you up on the front lawn.”
“Are you sure that is a good idea?” Martha asked.
“We need to hurry luv so we don’t have a choice.” The Doctor replied.
“Okay I will see you soon.”
Turning toward her mum Martha stated, “I have to go but I will come back soon.” Pausing she embraced her mum and whispered, “My dad was not alone when he died mum.”
Donna looked into her daughter’s eyes and saw that she told the truth. Before she could respond Martha moved to the center of the front lawn. Donna then heard the unmistakable sound of a TARDIS materializing.
The Doctor and his sons were involved in an intense game of scrabble when their heads snapped up looking at each other sensing a different TARDIS they ran from the parlor. As soon as they emerged on the deck they watched as a TARDIS appeared in front of Martha.
Turning to look at her family she smiled, as the door opened, and the light from the interior of the TARDIS illuminated her body.
As the wind of the unknown TARDIS blew across the porch the Doctor put a tweed clad arm around his wife and spoke quietly, “Don’t worry my luv she is in capable hands.”
Turning toward her husband Donna asked, “What has our daughter gotten herself into?”
Turning Donna so he could look into her eyes he stated, “Only time will tell.”
