I don't own doctor who in any shape or form.
...
The doctor stood in the control room. His eyes unfocused in deep thoughts. How could Clara have landed the TARDIS on Gallifrey? Could he visit? He secretly craved to see his children again. He started to think of them. His son. With hazel hair and blue eyes. His daughter. With dark,deep brown hair and dark green eyes. He could feel the knot building in his throat.
Clara walked in. The doctor cleared his throat and continued to flip switches and pull levers. Clara could see that the Doctor's eyes were more sad than ever before. She felt pity filling in her chest. She asked," Doctor, are you okay?". Pulled back into reality, he answered, " Yes, yes, of course! Um, would you mind if I visited a , um , family that I know?". Clara answered almost immediately, " No, yeah go ahead! But who are they?"
The Doctor hesitated. " I'll tell you once we've landed safely." he returned. He turned on his his heel and started to control the TARDIS. The Doctor could feel Clara's eyes studying him. The TARDIS made a small spark and landed. He looked up to the scanner and saw that it read Gallifrey. He walked to the door with fear, guilt, excitement and concern on his face. Clara came up and ushered him on.
They stepped out. Clara oblivious to their whereabouts. She saw a city enclosed by a clear glass dome. Around the city were mountains, many mountains scattered with fresh glistening dew. Trees with the whitest leaves. The whole scene topped with a beautiful red haze be the two glowing Suns.
The Doctor looked to his right. Then to his left. And announced," We're here. This is the place."
Clara asked," But Doctor where are we?"
The Doctor waited as if he was having trouble speaking. He finally got out , "Gallifrey. ... Before I destroyed it." In a small voice.
They found a place to sit in the field where they would go unnoticed. When Clara questioned, " So , Doctor who are we going to see?"
After what seemed to be minuets he answered, " My kids."
They stayed silent for minutes until they saw to kids walking in the field. Soon join by a young man with brown hair. He seemed around 38 years old. Clara understood, the man was the doctor and the kids were his kids. "Okay." They walked out. As soon as his kids saw him they ran towards him. Clara smiled. She had never seen anything so sad yet so joyful.
The kids hugged him so deeply and he hugged back even deeper. They broke apart, Clara in tears. The kids ask simultaneously," Can we see it! The Sonic?!". The doctor answered, " of course you can." and pulled it out handing it over to his children. He then walked over to his younger self. Clara was confronted by the doctor's son. He said," Hi. You're probably a friend of my dads. He snacks me out of the academy every week. I'm Jacob, if you didn't know.". The girl then came up and said," and I'm Lucy." Clara wondered," How did you recognize him?" But they were interrupted by the older doctor. He took back his sonic. He and Clara waved goodbye and walked back to the TARDIS.
They took off and went on to bigger adventures but never again did Clara not pity for the Doctor.
