Rose Tyler Hero of the Universe, Bad Wolf, slayer of the Dalek Emperor was lying on a hospital bed, with her husband The Doctor or as Jackie Tyler called him 'The Alien-in-Law' sitting beside her. Both were looking down at the little bundle of sweetness wrapped in a blanket in Rose's arms.
After nine-months of a rather difficult pregnancy she'd finally given birth to a health double-hearted baby girl with her mothers nose and mouth and her fathers eyes. But as for her hair....
"Rose..."
Rose Tyler, who sometimes used the surname Smith when they went as husband and wife on some of the less civilized worlds, looked up at her husband wondering what to make of the rather odd, speculative look on his face, and was he...squinting? Well it was rather dark, considering they were on a planet that had one side constantly facing the sun and the other constantly facing the other way and they were on the darkside at this time, it does take some squinting to see in the rather low lights of the hospital room.
"Yes Doctor?"
"What colour hair has she got? Not blonde I can tell, but it certainly ain't the windswept gorgeousness that is my own hair...in this regeneration anyway."
Rose looked under the blanket...and blinked. Oh he was not going to like this.
"Well Doctor, you know how you've always wanted to be ginger?" After a staring at her for a few seconds he looked back at his baby girl.
"...noooo...."
"I'm afraid so love, well at least you got your wish in a way, a little part of you has become ginger."
Her husband was quiet for a few minutes until suddenly....
"It was bad enough when the Master got ginger hair from his last regeneration and started going on and on about it, now my own daughter, mocking me! Oh she is no doubt your daughter Rose Tyler!"
"No Doctor that's you she's got that from, should be interesting introducing her to all those alien worlds we go to, our daughter and her not-ginger father." The smirk on her face was evident that she was loving his outrage, he hadn't been this worked up about something since they'd run into that Master fellow who stole the Doctors Sonic Screwdriver and upgraded it to a Laser Spanner as a Christmas present....the Doctor had not been pleased since he liked his sonic devices.
"It's just not fair Rose...I've wanted to be ginger for centuries! And our daughter as soon as she's born gets it on the first go!"
"There there sweetheart, perhaps you'll get it next time.....but it bloody well better not be for a good long while!" The Doctor looked meekly towards his wife and in a little voice said:
"Yes dear."
