Hi... :) Back so soon?
The Doctor's POV
Two years. It had been two years since I last saw Clara. I pushed pointless buttons on the console.
"DOCTOR!" I heard a shout from behind me.
"Wha- Missy?!" I questioned. She slapped me hard across the cheek, "What was that for?!" I asked as I rubbed my cheek.
"Don't act all innocent, Doctor!" She exclaimed, "What is wrong with you?"
I groaned, "Just go away, Missy."
"No."
"Missy. I did what had to be done." I shrugged as I went to the other side of the console, "How long has it been since Clara last saw me?"
"Well... four months after your meeting in the park with her." she said.
"So my beautiful Oswin is one year old. And our son has also been born, right?" she nodded, "What did Clara call him?"
"Orion." she told me.
I smiled, "Named after the brightest constellation." Missy nodded in confirmation.
"No new companion for you, Doctor?"
I shook my head, "I can't. I don't really want another one. They'll end up falling in love with me and I don't think I could ever love them back. Clara still holds my hearts." I told her, "Has any other species tried to take Oswin or Orion away?"
"Surprisingly. No."
"There... That's why I made her forget me. So nothing would come after her or our children."
"Doctor, you don't understand. She is under so much stress. She misses you and she doesn't even remember who you are!" Missy exclaimed as she started to put coordinates in. Moments later we landed. "Get out. Now." she said.
"Okay okay!" I raised my hands up in surrender as I exited.
"Doctor! When I said that I wanted you to keep Clara safe I didn't mean like this!" Dave said.
I sighed, "Dave... creatures were going to come and take Orion away. I couldn't let that happen."
"You did a pretty good job of keeping Oswin safe! I'm one hundred percent sure that you didn't need to make Clara forget you!" Dave exclaimed.
Missy then whacked me on the back of my head, "He's Doctor bloody Idiot!"
Clara's POV - three years later
After putting Orion into his bed, I headed into the sitting room. "Mummy!" Oswin said as she walked towards me. She reached up to grab my hand.
"Come on." I whispered, "Bedtime." I went into Oswin and Orion's bedroom and put her into her own bed. Missy had somehow installed another room into my flat... god knows how... I reached down to the floor and picked up the plush Police Box and handed it to Oswin. I sighed as I sat on the edge of her bed. Oswin and Orion never went to sleep without at least one story. I could vaguely remember some adventures that me and the Doctor had... Still couldn't remember his face, "Right." I started as I smiled down at Oswin. Orion then jumped out of bed and sat next to me. Oswin crawled so that she sat on the other side of me.
"Daddy come home soon?" Oswin asked. Considering that she is part Gallifreyan... she understands things a lot better than a normal human baby. She understood that she had a father but she never had never seen him.
I sighed, "Your daddy will come home one day, Oswin." I whispered. I hope. "You want to hear about the Daleks?" she smiled widely in response. I then signed to Orion: 'Daleks?' he nodded his head quickly. I reached into my pocket and got out the sonic sunglasses. I put them over Orion's eyes so that he could read the words as I spoke them, "Your grandma Missy and I went to Skaro to help your daddy. He was being an idiot and he got stuck with the bad guys." Orion clutched his plush Dalek tightly.
"Davros?" Oswin asked.
"Davros." I confirmed, "But Missy thought it would be funny to put me in a Dalek."
"But daddy saved you."
I nodded, "Daddy saved me." I then looked at Orion.
He knew basic sign language. He signed, 'First kiss?' I signed back, 'Yes.'
"That was when we had our first kiss. If it wasn't for that, I would have never had you." I smiled as I kissed both of them on the forehead, "He stopped the evil Daleks from hurting me or your grandma."
"More stories, mummy." Oswin pleaded. Orion looked at me, also wanting another story.
"Okay okay." I said. I could never say no to their eyes.
"Raven story?" she asked.
I sighed as I shook my head, "No, darling. I'll tell you that story when you're older okay?" Oswin nodded in understanding. Orion then tapped me and I looked at him.
He signed, 'When you meet daddy?'
"Okay. He saved me from the evil spoon heads! They trapped me inside a spoon but your daddy was VERY good with computers. He used a computer to get me out."
"And then you were okay?" Oswin questioned.
"Yes." I smiled, "Your daddy is very brave."
"You brave too." Oswin stated.
"Thank you. The spoon heads were trapping lots of people. They got me again aswell."
"But daddy saved everyone!" Oswin exclaimed.
"Yes he did. And then he took me to a place called Akhaten and on a submarine. But that's a different story for another night." I whispered as I looked at the clock. It was closing in on 11pm. Orion handed me the sunglasses and I signed, 'Thanks, baby.' he gave me a hug before getting into his own bed. "Night night, my Oswin." I said as I tucked her into bed. I walked over to Orion's bed and tucked him in, I mouth, 'Night night'. He smiled before snuggling into the covers and closing his eyes.
I exited the room and closed the door behind me. I was tired but I didn't feel like sleeping, "Clara."
"Oh. Hi, mum. What's up?" I asked as I sat on the sofa next to her.
"You still don't remember the Doctor?" she asked.
"Nope. Oswin keeps asking about him." I sighed, "I don't know what to tell her."
"Well... what would you say if I told you that the Doctor was in your kitchen right now?" she wondered.
My eyes widened, "You aren't serious."
"Dead serious." she replied, "Cross my hearts." I bit my lip as I stood up... I slowly made my way towards the kitchen door. As I slowly opened the door it banged into something. I squeezed through the door... a police box was blocking the door. The Doctor's TARDIS...
"Hello, Clara." I looked at the table.
"W-Wait..." I started, "Aren't you John... I remember meeting you three years ago. I don't know how but... I remember you." I said, "What are you doing here?"
"Clara Clara Clara..." he whispered, "'John Smith'. Such a typical fake name."
"Yes it is." I agreed, "So what's your real name?"
"Most people know me... as the Doctor." he replied as I sat next to him.
"Y-You? You're the Doctor?" I questioned.
He nodded, "Yes, Clara. I'm the Doctor. And I'm so so sorry... I should have never made you forget me. I just wanted to keep you and our beautiful children safe."
I bit my lip, "Prove that you're the Doctor."
"Well... I saved you from the Raven. That's why you have a tattoo on the back of your neck and why you haven't got a heartbeat." he said. "Also... we are telepathically linked." he said as he placed a finger to my temple causing me to close my eyes.
"No. More. Lies." I re-experienced our first kiss. I opened my eyes in shock as he removed his finger from my temple.
"D-Doctor?" I whispered with hope. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a familiar device, "A neural block, right?"
He nodded, "I used this to make you forget me."
"Yeah..."
"And now I'm going to use it again. To make you remember me."
"You can do that?" I asked. He nodded in response.
"You can thank Missy. She's the one who modified it." he smiled as he held the device out towards me, "You don't have to remember me if you don't want to..."
"N-no. I do want to remember you. Oswin really wants to meet you and so does Orion." I instantly placed my hand on the neural block.
"It might sting your brain a little as it will pour all your memories in at once." he warned. I nodded in understanding. He quickly pressed the button and I felt that stinging pain. I closed my eyes.
Moments later I opened them after the pain had stopped. I looked at my hand which was still on the neural block... I then looked at my wedding ring on that hand before a big smile appeared on my face. I slowly looked up at him... at the Doctor. My Doctor.
"Doctor!" I said with joy. He put the neural block in his pocket as he pulled me onto his lap and pressed his lips to mine, "Don't do that again, you bloody idiot." I told him as I kissed him back eagerly, wrapping my arms around his neck. He then pulled back and rested his forehead against mine.
"I'm sorry, Clara. I love you." he said.
"I love you too, Theta." I whispered against his ear.
He chuckled before asking, "Can I see our beautiful children?"
I nodded against his shoulder, "Have to wake em up first." I got off of his lap and we exited the kitchen. Missy was nowhere to be seen.
"I'm sorry I didn't come back earlier. The old girl's circuitry is a bit messed up." he told me. I nodded as we arrived at the bedroom door.
"Doctor. Do you know sign language or is it still deleted?" I questioned.
"I know a bit, yeah. Why?"
"You might need it." I warned as we entered the room. I sat on the edge of Oswin's bed and stroked her cheek, "Hey. Wake up, baby." I said. Her eyes soon opening, "Someone's come to see you." I smiled at her. She then sat up and looked at the Doctor, "Do you know who that is?" I asked.
"That daddy?" she asked me, "I can feel the link." she whispered in shock before getting to her feet and quickly making her way to the Doctor. He picked her up in a spinny hug and happy tears fell from both of their eyes. I then headed over to Orion and shook his shoulder lightly.
'Look who's here.' I signed. His eyes widened in shock and happiness as he saw the Doctor. He must know that he is his dad because of the telepathic link. The Doctor knelt down and hugged Oswin with one arm, opening his other arm out to Orion. Orion quickly jumped out of the bed hugged the Doctor tightly.
"You daddy?" Oswin whispered.
"I'm your daddy." he whispered back and kissed her and Orion on the forehead. He managed to stand up and carry them both, "Come on, Clara. I believe that it's time for bed." he said, carrying them both out of the room. I followed him and he went into my room. He lay on the bed and the two children snuggled up to him.
"You won't leave will you, daddy?" Oswin asked as I lay next to Orion.
"No, darling. Never again." he promised her. I pulled the cover over us all. The Doctor reached over and pecked me on the lips, "Night, my Clara."
"Night, my Doctor."
