Prompt: Doctor x Clara/Oswin baby fluff
"Jimmy, stop that! She'll put it on her mouth!"
And as if on cue the baby girl started chewing her brother's toy soldier. Clara quickly grabbed a hold of the baby, releasing the soldier from her soon-to-be teeth and giving it back to Jimmy who ran back to his room with a quick thanks. She sighed. Of course then, the baby girl, Melissa, started crying.
Clara tried to quiet her with no avail; she took the baby in her arms, bouncing her up and down on her hip, shushing her and even sang to her! None worked.
"Please, stop crying, Mel. Please." Clara said softly. That didn't work either. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to gain some peace and ignore her pounding headache.
Who know baby sitting could be so hard?
Certainly not her when she accepted the job.
As if by some miracle, the baby started to quiet down. She let out a breath of relief.
Then, of course, the door bell had to ring. Melissa started he wail all over again. Damn it.
"Shh Shh Shh. It's okay, Mel. It's okay." She said, walking towards the door and the guest who she hated right now.
When she opened the door, she forgot all about her hatred because she saw him waiting on the doorstep.
The Doctor stared at her with wide eyes. "uh.." He started, flustered. "Am I..?"
"Babysitting." She said, trying to help him out. She looked at the still wailing baby in her arms. "Help me?" She asked, staring pleadingly at him.
The Doctor's face noticeably softened at that. "Of course, love." He said, taking the baby from her arms and kissing Clara on the forehead. "Go and take some pills. I'll take care of her."
"Thank you." Clara breathed, relieved. What would she do without him?
…
Once The Doctor managed to take little Melissa to her cot, he headed to The Kitchen where Clara was surely doing dishes or making some tea. The latter was true, He found her serving tea onto the two cups on the kitchen counter.
He came behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing the top of her head. "Hard day?" He mumbled into her hair.
Clara sighed, relaxing into his embrace and resting her frame against his chest. "Yes." She said, tired. The Doctor hugged her completely, his arms over hers and their hands intertwined together. He kissed her temple sweetly.
"I'm glad you came." She said, raising her head to meet his eyes.
"Me too." And he lowered his head and touched his lips to hers.
A/N: This is also a bit AU or AH if you want. it's your imagination, imagine what you wish! but for me it's just AU (The Doctor's a time lord and whatever). Anyway, hope you enjoyed this and tell me what you think! XD xoxo
