Authors Note: It's me again, another Doctor Who story. I wanted to combine the idea's that suddenly struck me out of the blue today. It's pretty much set in the beginning of Utopia, Season two. I'm pretty sure its Utopia. Rose is of course missing the Doctor and its been eight years, though it seems since the holes in time have closed. Time moves differently between the two worlds so really it's just been a couple days for the Doctor, but eight years for Rose and Jesse. I'm not giving away my secrets just yet, guys lol, gotta read on. Any comments and idea's for the story is always appreciated, and of course if you give an idea and I use it, you'll be credited.

Chapter One
It's been a long eight years since that day. Standing there in the early morning at Bad Wolf Bay, can you believe the irony in that? After all we've been through together. I had prayed, wished, thought he would come back for me in hopes that one day he would return to me. I don't care what he said that I would never see him again, I had all hope that I would, he had to come back! The one person in this alternate universe that was even keeping my hope alive is one girl, the one girl that I have always kept close to my heart, my Angel, Jesse. The moment she was born in the Torchwoods Institutes medical ward and put into my arms I knew he had to come back someday, to see her at least. I wanted him to see her, his daughter, he had to. It hasn't been that difficult of a life so far, Jesse having always been by my side, even taking her to work with me and letting her roam the Institute though other employee's who knew me kept their eyes on her. Jesse was a good girl, no one in that place wanted to see her hurt which I was grateful for because you know how mischievous children can be. Her grandfather, my Dad, Pete Tyler ran most of the Institute and Mickey and Jake was employed here as well. The lot of us being Defenders of the Earth, as the Doctor had called me once. And he was right. That's what we do. Defend the earth. Because of what Jesse was a lot of people in the Institute were curious of her, it's not every day you know of a little eight year old girl who has two heart beats. She was just like him in every way, smart, kind, caring, adventurous, definitely adventurous. I just hope that someday he'll return, and someday, they'll meet.
It was a beautiful day as Rose stared out the window, watching the scenery and the day go by. Like so many times before, she was lost in thought and memory. She had seen so much in her life that if she hadn't seen, she wouldn't of believed it. New Earth, being on a planet right in front of a black hole, time travel, she missed all of it. Most of all, she missed him. That day at the bay she regretted not telling him about Jesse, never saying anything and lying about not being pregnant when she was. Now, Rose figured he was off on more adventures, never knowing about his daughter that lived in another universe. She was sure if he did, he would've broken every universal law to get to her but she didn't want the whole of the universe to fall apart all because of them. It was selfish. And now here she sat in her own office in the Torchwood Institute of London, defending the earth on a daily basis. Though at least she had her little girl to make it more worth while, to make it mean something. She could hear a voice now though it didn't register at first, finally gaining her attention as a small hand tugged at Roses blouse sleeve. Rose smiled wide, her daughter being the one who gained her attention.
"Mummy? Uncle Mickey said he was going to get ice cream in the cafeteria, can I go?"
Her big brown eyes always made Rose soft inside, always reminding her of his eyes. The little girl looked exactly like him, though Jesse had a lot of Roses facial features. The make of her eyes, nose, the curve of her jaw, though Jesse had deep brown hair and brown eyes like her father. She could handle aliens, kick their asses, and yet a little eight year old girl had Rose wrapped around her little finger so easily.
"Of course, love, but be careful and don't let Jake steal your ice cream when you come back."
That made Jesse laugh, shaking her head quickly.
"I'd kick Uncle Jake's bum!"
Smiling happily she patted Jesse's shoulder.
"That's my girl, now get going."
"Bye mum!"
It took seconds for Jesse to be out of the room with her running, running straight to Mickey so she could get ice cream, leaving Rose again to her thoughts.
As Mickey walked Jesse down to the cafeteria he always had a hold on her hand because he was always afraid she'd run off and he was usually never fast enough to catch her, which is why some employee's in the building called her "speedy," being very fast for her age. Though Mickey loved her very much as if she were his own daughter. Now she was beginning to skip happily as they moved, other employee's being in the large cafeteria. Mickey finally let go of her hand as they came to the line for food though he did look down at her a minute.
"Don't go too far, Jess. I'll only be a tick with the ice cream."
"Okay!"
And with that she was off to explore though she didn't leave the cafeteria. Jesse waved to some of the people she knew that were sitting, eating, but continued to look around. Coming up to the soda and junk food machines she looked at them closely, cocking her head to the side as she inspected the machines curiously. The moment she touched the mechanical parts of the soda machine, having to get up on her tip toes since she was short, a spark went off making her jump back letting out a scream of fright. The digital numbers on the soda machine went wild, jumping to every number there was before it shortened out immediately. Jesse had watched every second, the edges of her fingers burned slightly from that spark she had felt.
From hearing the scream Mickey forgot about the ice cream and came out to see what was happening, finding the purple-wearing little girl crying from her fingers being burned, and from having been scared from what happened. A lot of people had seen, getting up to see what had happened but Mickey quickly came to Jesses aid, picking her up and holding onto her having her in his arms. She had wrapped her small arms around his neck, sniffling and crying into the collar of his shirt. Though he took off to the elevators to go to the medical ward when Jesse said something about her fingers. While Jesse was getting checked out by the doctors there, Rose had immediately come along with Pete an Jake. Walking fast into the room Roses eyes had widened slightly in fear from Jesses wrapped up fingers, Jesse looking to her with a happy smile.
"Mummy!"
Rose came to her picking her up with ease and looking at her fingers with a frown.
"Jesse, what happened?"
She about said something but with Mickey being overly nervous, he began speaking.
"I-I didn't know what happened, one minute I'm gettin' ice cream in line, the next Jesses screamin'!"
Looking to Mickey, Rose nodded knowing she couldn't get a story out of Mickey because she guessed he'd be too nervous so she looked to Jesse.
"What happened, love?"
Jesse went through every detail. From when Mickey told her to stick around, to when her fingers were burned from the soda machine going wild just from Jesses touch. It made Roses mind drift off because she thought maybe this was because Jesse was a Time Lady? She couldn't be sure though because she didn't know a lot about Time Lords, and neither did Torchwood though they did have a blood sample of one because of Jesse. She looked to Pete with a frown, making him nod and look to Jake.
"Uhh, Jake, could you take Jesse out? Play a bit?"
Jake knew something was going on though he didn't ask because he didn't want little Jesse to be worried or scared about anything so he nodded, taking Jesse from Rose, the both of them going out into the hall though once Jesse was out she took off running. Jake tried running after her.
"Jesse, wait up!"
His voice boomed throughout the hallway making Rose smile at how Jesse was, Mickey laughed a bit but Pete stayed serious.
"Do you think this is coincidental, Rose?"
She shrugged, sighing heavily.
"We have no way of knowin', Dad. Not unless he suddenly decides to show up right around now."
Rose didn't like to mention the Doctors name because she didn't want Jesse knowing of him just yet, so she didn't have to feel sad about not being able to ever see her Father. Knowing what that was like because in the original world she came from, she didn't have a Father either. But now she did, all because the Tardis had the dumb luck of coming to this alternate Earth.
Rose glanced out the hallway, seeing Jake and Jesse were both gone and she sighed lightly.
"She's got too much energy for a little girl.."
Mickey smirked, shrugging.
"That's Speedy for you, she'll run all over this place if you gave her the chance."
Pete smiled slightly, always having loved his small grand daughter.
"I think you just gave her the chance."
Rose smiled, leaving the room with them to get back to their work.
Jesse had managed to escape Jake throughout the older halls of the building in the higher levels. The building was alternate to the one in Canary Warf that the great battle had occurred in when Rose and the Doctor were still together. Between the Cybermen and Daleks. She soon walked into a large room though with the doors made out of glass, seeing the Torchwood insignia on the glass doors though they were cracked from age and ready to break. A lot of loose electrical wires were everywhere though Jesse stayed away from them. Never having seen this room before in other explorations she grinned wide when she saw computers as well, and she immediately jumped on them, quickly typing and fooling around with the keyboards. But what she didn't know is that the computers were on because of the power being on in the building, the old computers were still wired into the building.
Jesse leaned into the computer screen seeing a lot of numbers come onto it when the monitor came on, grinning from ear to ear happily, just having fun.
"Star command, come in!"
Playing with the computer she pushed a couple more keys on the keyboard, and suddenly the large white wall she was facing, the image of it blurred as if the wall were changing to something. It looked as if a storm were going on right on the wall, lightening, and wind whirled within the room. Jesses eyes widened as this was going on in front of her, not knowing what to think of it though for some reason she wasn't afraid. Being brave, though most girls her age would've gone screaming by now. Quietly getting up from the chair she was seated in in front of the computers she was previously goofing around with, she slowly walked to the swirling, scary looking hole in the white wall. But before she knew it, she was pulled right in, the hole disappearing after it had taken its "passenger".
After a hour or so, Jake finally gave up searching for Jesse and quickly came to Rose for help since he lost Jesse. Not able to find her anywhere. Rose immediately put someone on the tapes to see if she could locate her daughter, and one of the Torchwood tech's brought her into the security room. After the tape was put in, Rose watched anxiously seeing it was the same room she had appeared in that fateful day. Watching what happens though, her eyes widened as her daughter was taken through the swirling vortex. But from having seen Jesse was playing with the computers, Rose looked at the tech, Mickey soon coming to the room.
"I want whatever she typed into that computer, now, not later, now!"
Rose had practically screamed at the man, worried for her daughter and wanting her back though Mickey tried to comfort her as much as he could.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
Wasn't it near night time when I was in that room? Jesse thought as she took a look around. It looked like it was near noon already, still morning with the sun high in the sky though she wasn't in the institute anymore, but outside and someplace she didn't recognize. A frown graced her lips as she began to worry, though something caught her attention. A big blue box in the middle of the place she seemed to be. A lot of people walked by she noticed though tears began to shine in her eyes because she wanted her Mother, and she didn't know where she was in this place. Someone tapped her on the shoulder though getting Jesses attention, and turning around she was face to face with a woman in a red leather jacket, she looked nice. Though seeing the tears in Jesses eyes she frowned.
"What's wrong, little one?"
"I-I don't know where I am."
Once Jesse met someone new she was usually shy around them, and even stutter. The woman smiled a little though.
"Your in Cardiff, love, where's your-"
Someone yelling made the woman cut off, a man soon coming up beside her quickly. Jesse took in his appearance. Messy hair, brown pin-stripe suit and a trench coat with converse on, she thought he looked cool.
"Martha! We have to go."
The woman, Martha, rolled her eyes because he had a whining tone of voice at that moment. The man though that yelled looked down at Jesse, a curious look crossing his features. The little girl reminded him of a young Rose, but he was still mourning for her.
"Who's this then?"
Martha shrugged, looking to him.
"I was just about to find out until you came up, yelling."
The pair looked back to Jesse, and Jesse felt a bit awkward under their gazes but Martha gave a comforting smile.
"What's your name, love?"
"Jesse.."
The man in the pin stripe suit piped in.
"Good! Now that we're all introduced, lets get going."
Martha looked at him, exasperated and a bit aggravated as well because she wasn't planning to just leave this little girl. Alone. Without anyone.
"What's your rush? We have to find Jesses mother."
Jesse suddenly got curious because they hadn't even said their names at all. Her voice was quiet.
"Umm…W-What's your names?"
Martha smiled to her, understanding her curiosity since she hadn't said her name or the man's.
"I'm Martha Jones, and this is the Doctor."
