Hello, I'm back!! Yep, I have decided to make this a trilogy, it will be the last in the series, hopefully not the last of my writing. I hope that I delivery another good story. I got many great reviews for the last one so I was persuaded to continue with the Smith/Jones family.

As stated above this is part three of the 'Until We Meet Again' series. The first one is 'The Only Way' and the sequel 'An Enduring Quest', I must stress that those two are read first, if you haven't already.

Now, please enjoy.

Disclaimer: Nope, I haven't succeeded in obtaining the rights to Doctor Who.

The whirling sound of the sonic screwdriver filled the dungeon, the lock fell out of place and the door swung open.

"Ha!" The man shouted as he watched the prisoners become free.

The young woman grabbed him in a large hug, "Where did you get that?" She asked, pulling away looking at the instrument in his hand.

He shrugged casually, "He gave it to me."

"Yeah, right." She replied.

"Are you complaining? I just saved your life." He retorted.

Lily Jones tilted her head, her hair filled with two days grime fell over one shoulder, "You are going to be in trouble you know."

He nodded, "I know."

Grabbing her hand, the two ran down the hallway, avoiding the guards that were trying to round up their prisoners.

Lily managed to land a fairly good punch to one of the men's face to make a safe get away. Finally able to breathe fresh air again, Lily gulped hungrily at the oxygen. Filling her lungs that had been deprived for so long.

Stephan grabbed his sister's hand once more and pulled in towards their home.

The Tardis: Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. It had been the siblings home their entire lives. And they couldn't see it any other way. The Tardis' owner was the most wonderful man that they knew, and they did not call him that because he was their father. The Doctor, the last of the Time Lords, the man with two hearts beating in his chest. Who could change his face. The man that would live forever.

The siblings had the same twin hearts within them as well, but the ability to change, or regenerate as the Doctor called it, was not granted to them. Unlike their father, they would live human life.

That was because of their mother. Martha Jones, born on Earth, met the Doctor twenty years ago and happily married. Had Lily a year later, had Stephan two more years after that. Martha Jones; human.

The four of them traveling in the Tardis through time and space. They were a tight knit family that had a knack for getting into trouble. Well, 'getting' was a bit harsh a word, it wasn't that they went looking for trouble, but it seemed that trouble found them.

And boy did they have fun! Always running, running for their lives. No matter how dire things would get, they always managed to slip away.

As Stephan opened the blue door that led to the interior of the ship, a warm gold light greeted them.

Lily let out a soft sigh, silently thanking her brother for getting her out and getting her home once again. Before her eyes could blink twice, she found herself wrapped in the safety of her mother's arms.

"Thank goodness you two are safe." Martha said, as she took her son also in her embrace.

"Mum." Stephan said, pulling away.

"How did you get out?" Martha asked looking at Lily.

"Well, thanks to Stephan." She stated, "Him and the sonic."

Martha looked from Lily's deep brown eyes to her son's same chocolaty orbs. "Your father has been looking everywhere for his screwdriver." Her tone motherly and stern.

"By the way, where is Dad?" Lily asked.

As if on cue, the Doctor rushed into the Tardis, closing the door with a huff. "Well, that was unpleasant." He said as he flung his long brown coat over one of the coral branches. He stopped in his tracks, drinking in the sight of his children.

They rushed to him, wrapping their arms around them.

"I'm so glad that you two are alright." He breathed.

He pulled away and looked down at his children, loving gazes met his, glancing over their heads to his wife behind them, smiling; finally admitting the danger was over and past.

They detangled themselves away from each other and made their way over to their own personal places in the console room. The Doctor by Martha, near the controls.

The Doctor had installed more jumps seats around the console, but Lily found the spot on the floor hers and Stephan upon the steps. So the parents could not argue them on the subject.

Stephan met his sister's eyes, her eyes flashed, and he knew what she was implying, but wanted to hold off as long as he could from telling his father exactly how Lily escaped. The Doctor seemed very contended to having his family back to worry about the missing screwdriver and Stephan didn't want to ruin his father's mood. Well, that and he hated having the same lecture he knew was coming that night.

The gently rocking of the Tardis indicated that they had safely reached the shelter of the Vortex.

"So," The Doctor began pulling away from the controls and sat down next to Martha taking her hand in his, "wants to start explaining before punishments are handed out?"

"Punishments?" Lily asked her eyes bemused.

The Doctor nodded, "Well, first off young lady, you went and did exactly what I told you not to."

"But…" His daughter tried to protest, but the Doctor carried on.

"You went and used yourself as bait, something that I specifically told you not to do. It was a stupid and dangerous…"

"I didn't use myself as 'bait'", Lily told him, "I was clearly a distraction, and it would have worked…if I hadn't gotten caught."

The Doctor sighed deeply, glancing at Martha who was looking down shaking her head. A smile clearly on her face.

"Your daughter alright." The Doctor muttered.

Martha looked up to him, but before she could utter a word, the Doctor turned to his son.

"Now you, come here." The Doctor motioned his head for his son to follow.

Slowly Stephan descended from his perch and walked over to his father.

The Doctor held his hand out without saying anything.

Immediately, Stephan retrieved the sonic screwdriver from his pocket and placed it in the open palm. The Doctor closed his hand around it and motioned his head again, in the direction of the hallway.

Knowing that his father never repeated himself or his actions, Stephan quickly hurried himself down the hallway to his room.

"Your son alright." Martha said.

The Doctor gave her a pointed look before returning his beloved instrument back in his breast pocket.

"I think I need a shower, it's gonna take forever to get this filth out of my hair." Lily said as she picked herself up off the metal grate.

She walked to her mother and father, "I am sorry about today."

The Doctor met his daughter's gaze, "I know, it's just that I don't want to you hurt, neither you or Stephan."

He looked at Martha, "Or you."

Martha smiled sweetly.

Lily nodded, "Won't happen again." She promised.

"Good." Martha said, placing a kiss on her daughter's waiting forehead.

Lily embraced her father before retreating down the hallway as well to her own room.

Martha watched as she disappeared before turning to her husband.

"I don't know what we are suppose to do with those two." The Doctor said reclining back, his feet on the console in front of him. "Do you?" He asked her.

Martha shook her head, "Not a clue." Repeating the Doctor's position.

"You would think, that having done this before that we would get this the second time." The Doctor reasoned.

True it had been eighteen years since the incident which they had to revert time. The Doctor had raised his daughter again, only this time he had his loving wife beside him and now a son as well. A son, thankfully, had no homicidal intentions; only a knack for stealing his sonic screwdriver.

But, the Doctor was happy. Happier than he ever thought he could ever be. All the timelines had been straightened out, he had a wonderful family that loved him and who he loved just as equally; if not more.

Yes, it seemed that fate in the end had finally given in and rewarded him with the life he had always wanted.

"I guess I have to go in and give my son a talk." The Doctor said, getting up off the yellow seat.

Martha nodded, "Yes, I think you made him suffer long enough."

The Doctor bent down and captured her lips with his, she wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the embrace.

Pulling back, the Doctor stared into her gentle brown eyes, "I love you."

"I love you, too." She replied.

He checked the monitor a moment, before exiting the room.

Martha got up as well, she ran a tender stroke over the rim of the console, before leaving. She might as well see what she had to cook for supper.

Well what do you think? I hope it's good…I think it will be.

Review please, thanks.
