Chapter One

Tara walked inside the kitchen while she listened to her ipod and she wiggled her hips. Her dad, the Doctor, had downloaded some songs for her and she enjoyed listening to the Proclaimers and the Wombats. Humming, she headed for the kitchen when she walked inside and twirled in a circle. Heading for the refrigerator, she opened the door and looked inside, trying to figure out what to eat.

"Now, what do I want?! Hmmmmm. Ah! Pizza!" said Tara as she got out what she needed and walked to the counter.

---------------------------------------------------------------

"What happened in here?!" asked Alan, walking into the kitchen and saw the mess on the floor, on the counter and on the ceiling. Tara stood near the counter, covered in flour and tomato sauce, and he was bursting from trying not to laugh.

"I, uh, I was trying to make a snack," said Tara, looking down.

"Want me to make you a snack?"

"Yeah!"

"Poof, you're a snack!" said Alan as his eyes went wide and his wiggled his fingers at her.

"You are such a kid!" said Tara, giving his shoulder a light smack.

"Yep, but at least I didn't destroy the kitchen."

Tara growled when she playfully tossed some flour at him and he looked at his jersey. Arching an eyebrow, he tossed some at her and she placed her hands up. Flour flew through the air as they laughed when they heard someone cough and saw the Doctor standing in the doorway.

"What, in Rassilon's name, is going in here?!" asked the Doctor.

"Hey, don't blame me, Brother, it was like this when I came in!" said Alan, holding his hands up.

"Then why are you covered in flour?"

"She started it!" shouted Alan, pointing at Tara.

"Really?!" said the Doctor when Tara looked at him with sad puppy eyes and her lower lip stuck out.

"Uh-oh, Brother, run! She's giving you…the look!" said Alan, backing toward the door. Faking fear, he ran out of the room, screaming, and the Doctor laughed. Shaking his head, the Doctor walked to Tara and crossed his arms over his chest.

"I'll go get the broom," sighed Tara, leaving the room and the Doctor rolled his eyes with a big grin on his face.

---------------------------------------------

The car pulled up to the curb while the door opened and Adam got out of the car, pushing the sunglasses up with one finger. Adam's wife, Rose, walked up behind him, holding onto their four year old son's hand and Adam held his hand out. Walking up the pavement, they headed for the stairs and their son, Jamie, looked up at the flag on the flagpole. They walked up the stairs when Adam opened the door and they walked inside. Walking down the hallway, Adam took the sunglasses off and placed them in his pocket.

"Daddy, look, it's David!" said Jamie, pointing at a poster of David Tennant from his former show encouraging children to read posted on the wall and Adam smiled. They had met David a few years ago while he was performing in Hamlet and Adam, who went to get David's autograph, nearly got trampled when David's fans thought he was him. David was stunned when they met and Adam asked him to be Jamie's godfather. They had just come from watching him filming an episode of his new show and Jamie was one of the children in the crowd scene. Adam's Rose knew that their daughter was going to be upset that she wasn't there and told Jamie not to tell her.

"Can't believe they still use that," said Adam while they walked down the hallway and Adam's Rose linked her arms around his arm. They walked into the gym as they looked at the small booths and displays and a large banner announcing the school's science fair was taped to the back wall.

"Where's River?" asked Jamie, looking around. They looked around when Adam's Rose saw their seven year old daughter, River, standing near a table and pointed. They walked closer as River looked at them and smiled. Sitting on the table was a model of a volcano and a small village. On a small hill stood six figures and a small TARDIS and Adam sighed.

"Sunshine, we talked about this," said Adam, pointing to the small figures and the TARDIS.

"But, Daddy, Uncle told me what happened that day," protested River, folding her arms across her chest. She gave him a look just like Adam's Jackie did when she was angry and he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"That may be true, Love, but you have to take them off."

Growling, River removed the figures and the TARDIS, placing them in the box, and Jamie walked to the table. He peeked over the top of the table as he smiled and reached for one of the small trees.

"Don't touch it!" shouted River.

"River Donna Storm, you do NOT talk to your brother like that!" said Adam's Rose. Telling Jamie she was sorry, River checked the volcano when a girl walked over and Adam looked at her. She had shiny blonde hair, crystal green eyes and a round face. He could sense an air of smugness from her as she looked at the volcano and River watched her.

"Nice toy, Storm, does it blow bubbles?" sneered Ashton Frost. Before River could say anything, Adam placed his hand over River's mouth and smiled at Ashton.

"Nice seeing you again, Ashton," said Adam, nodding, and Ashton walked away. He removed his hand while River glared at him and he shrugged. River stormed away while they watched her head for her friend, Jeanie, and Adam's Rose looked at Adam.

"She'll get over it," said Adam's Rose.

"I know," said Adam.

"I wonder where she gets that explosive temper from," teased Adam's Rose as he faked a shocked look and they laughed.

Thump-thumpthump-thump…thump-thumpthump-thump…

The soft sound of double heartbeats filled the darkness while he felt himself floating and the oxygen mask pinched his face a bit. Slowly opening his eyes, he looked at the blurry world as he blinked and looked around. Suddenly someone walked into the room as he looked at the blonde hair and sweet face and a red polished fingernail tapped the glass.

"He looks great! How is he doing?" asked Lucy Saxon, looking at the technician sitting in front of the computer.

"His vital signs are stable," said Bryan Maxwell and Lucy nodded.

"What about his brain waves?"

"Still nothing," said Bryan and Lucy sighed.

"Rats. What about our guest?"

"He's awake," said Bryan and Lucy left the room.

---------------------------------------------------------

Lucy walked to the door when she opened the door, walking inside the other room, and headed for the bed. Lying under the blankets, with an IV connected to the back of his right hand, was Adam's Doctor. His eyes were half open as he looked at her and she walked to the bed, smiling down at him.

"Hello, Doctor," said Lucy, brushing back some of his brown hair.

"Lucy Saxon?!" asked Adam's Doctor, trying to sit up but the drugs from the IV made his head swim.

"Oh, don't try and sit up, it will only make you sick."

"How did…?"

"How did I find you, is that what you're asking? Well, I have had people scouring the world for years looking for you. You are a very hard man to track down."

"I didn't want to be found," whispered Adam's Doctor. Lucy noticed the sadness and pain in his eyes and moved closer, stroking his cheek.

"Awwwwwwwww, my poor Doctor, why are you so sad?!" asked Lucy.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Well, my men finally found you standing on some beach in Norway and ambushed you. You put up quite a struggle."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Now that would spoil the surprise!"

She gently kissed his lips when she went nose to nose with him and he saw a crazy light dancing in her eyes.

"I can't wait to see the look on your face when you see what it is!"
