The Doctor was walking down the corridor when he heard it. A soft whimper coming from a room down the hall. It was his son room, he must be having a nightmare, they tended to happen more often since they landed on that planet. It was suppose to be a father and son day out with some exploration and site seeing they were to visit a waterfall made of sapphire under a sun that was poisonous. But all went downhill when something possessed a passenger and then managed to paralyzed him. In the end he was saved by a hostess sacrificing herself by throwing the possessed passenger and herself in the poisonous sun light outside the ship.
That day his 12 year old son saw what was worse in humans and to top that he saw his father helpless as he was about to be killed by the very race he loved so much .
He closed his eyes at the memory, it had been a month since the incident.
The Doctor slowly opened the door to his son's room. He saw him under the covers shivering and whimpering . As he came closer he saw tear marks on his face. Not wanting to see his son suffer any longer he started shaking him slowly by the shoulder.
"Seske. Come on love wake up, your dreaming."
"No! Please, please leave him alone.."
"Seska love come on I am right here wake up"
"Dad?..."it came as a whisper as he slowly opened his eyes
"DAD! You are alright" he hugged him
"Was it the same dream?"
"Yeah, only this time I was close to saving you I swear I was so close!"
"It's okay son, I am right here, shhh.. you don't need to worry, now come on you need your sleep you didn't quite get enough rest lately"
"Can you tell me a story first, about your adventures, or about your home, or you friends or maybe you could tell me one when you saved the day and the good guys started to chase you after…"
"Easy, yes I will, now calm down. I wonder where did you get all that energy from? Anyway lets get you all settled after story bed. Alright? "
"Yup."
After the story of a child on Gallifrey that was running and causing mayhem, he kissed him on the head and went to get up and leave
"Dad can you check for the monsters under my bed?"
Surprised by the strange new request coming from his son with a chuckle he bent down to check underneath the bed and saw him. Another him, under the bed, staring back at him quivering and whispering "dad, there's somebody on my bed"
