So this is a Doctor's daughter fic. The title comes from the Doctor's title of "The Oncoming Storm" I will try to update regularly, enjoy. Italics are thoughts.

Disclaimer: This all belongs to the BBC, I own nothing but Tessa

11th Doctor'sPOV:

River and I are sitting together in our little girl's new room. We are both a bit shell shocked at being parents. I have not had kids for a long time now, it should be very interesting.

"This room is amazing" says River, looking around the room, "Did you design it for her?"

"No," I reply, "a few hours after she was born, I came in here to find that the TARDIS had made her this room. It is nice, isn't it."

The room is painted a sparkling shade of gold and has Galliferian painted in beautifulred spirals all over three of the walls. The fourth wall has what looks like a full length window, but the outside scenery can change to what ever the occupant wants. At the moment, it is a gold and red supernova. The TARDIS had even dredged up mine and River's old crib and our little Tessa was now sleeping in it. I hug my wife, our little family relaxed and peaceful.

Then, Tessa starts to cry. I go and pick her up and walk around the room with her patting her back. When she won't stop crying, I sit down in her new red rocking chair and take out my sonic. She coos as I flash it around her until she has stopped crying. I start singing a Gallifreyan lullaby to her. By the time I am finished, her little blue eyes have closed and she is asleep. I put her back in her crib and turn to find River asleep in one of the chairs. I sit down next to her and

close my eyes as well.

Time skip to when Tessa is 4

"Ow ow ow ow" I mutter as little Tessa pulls on my hair from her seat on my shoulders.

I am currently trying to fly us to 21st century America so we can get pancakes for breakfast, an endeavor that is not helped by the 4 year old Time Lady sitting on my head.

As I struggle, River sits on theother end of the console and laughs.

"Can't you help me?" I complain

"No, I can't," she replies, " And besides, you know that I can't do anything to get her down anyway. She is as stubborn as you are."

I sigh, knowing that she is right. I mange to land us without crashing into ancient Greece and flip the little girl over my shoulders and into my arms.

She giggles as I pull on one of her curls. Her hair is the same color as mine, but it is very curly, like River's.

I drop her onto her feet and tell her to go get dressed for breakfast. She runs off, her curls flying.

About 10 minutes later she comes out in a black t-shirt from the 2036 Summer Olympics,a pair of jeans, and pink converse sneakers.

"Let's go Daddy, let's go!" she squeals.

I laugh and walk towards the door where River and Tessa are waiting.

"Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes," Tessa sings as we walk across the parking lot towards the door.

I laugh and join in singing with her.

"Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes!"We sing at the top of our lungs, while River walks behind us, shaking her head.

As we wait for our food, Tessa and i start playingwith the syrup.

"Honestly!," River says to me, "You have the maturity of a 4 year old!"

I am spared having to respond by the arrival of our breakfast. River got a small stack of blueberry pancakes, while Tessa and I both got jumbo stacks of their chocolate pancakes with chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, and powdered sugar.

River gapes at us as we both attack our breakfasts.

By the time we are finished, River is sitting back in her chair, half her pancakes left over while Tessa and I are bouncing around in our chairs with cleared plates and massive sugar highs.

We pay and then wander out of the restaurant and towards the TARDIS.

Time skip to when Tessa is 13

"Run" I yell as we dart through the ship's corridors.

"Exterminate! Exterminate!," scream thecreatures behind us.

Tessa is running right behind me when I hear her yelp.

I turn to see her lying on the floor with a large burn across her leg. She stands up, leaning on me for support and pullsout the sonic I gave her for her birthday. She flashes it at the Daleks, disabling their weapons and flashes it in the air twice, alerting River to our position. As the TARDIS forms around us, one of the Daleks says "We will find you, daughter of the Doctor. When we do, you will pay!"

The TARDIS finishes materializing and I dart to the console and fly us away.

"All I wanted was for you to have a nice little birthday trip" I mutter under my breath.

Once we are away from the planet, I run to her and pick her up. While River drives the TARDIS, I take Tessa to the infirmary.

"How is your leg, Tess?" I ask as I sit her on one of the infirmary beds and start to bandage her leg.

"I'm ok," she replies, " My leg hurts though and it was really scary."

"More than scary," I think," I have never been so terrified. This is the 3rd close call with the Daleks in as many months. They have been looking for her ever since she blew up one of their major ships. It's just not safe for her anymore."

I give her some pain medication and then let her fall asleep.

While she sleeps, River and I talk in the console room. We have both come to the same conclusion. Using the Chameleon Arch, we will make her human for a little while. It will be just long enough for us to destroy all of their knowledge of her. Then, we will come back and pick her up.

We spend a few hours deciding what family to place her with, and figuring out who's minds we will have to alter. Finally, we have everything decided.

She is still sleeping when we place her into the Chameleon Arch.

It only takes a minute or so and then it is done. We have placed her Time Lady essence in to a necklace and we have left a subconscious warning to never take it off.

Two hours later, we have left her with her new human family. I left her with her favorite leather jacket with her sonic sewn into a hidden pocket.

I stand by the doors of the TARDIS, hesitant to leave her alone.

"We will be back for her very soon," River says from behind me, "The sooner we get to work, the sooner we can come back."

I sigh and close the doors, walking to the console and flying us back in to space.

That is is for this chapter, I hope that you enjoyed it. Please review. I will post another chapter soon
