Emily was up in the attic, ruffling through old boxes. She comes across a average size suitcase, "Wonder what's in here." She clicks it open and there lies a bunch of papers, and a tiny box. She grabbed the tiny box, as it grabbed her interest first. There was a button on the side, she pressed it and the box opened. Emily smiled, as she saw a nice pocket watch. Carefully, she picked it up and put it in her pocket. She looked at the mess of papers and one caught her eye. Birth Certificate was written on it, she gently pulled it out and read.
Name: Emily Waters
Date of Birth: 1991, November 29th
Father's Name: John Waters Unbiological
Mother's Name: Jocelyn Waters Wright Unbiological
She stopped reading. "Unbiological?" Emily tilted her head slightly, trying to figure out what this could mean. Her eyes widened as she figured it out. She came running down the steps, "Mum!" She called out.
"Yes, darling. What is it?" Jocelyn came out from the kitchen, holding a wooden spoon in her right hand.
Emily held up the birth certificate, "Am I really adopted?" Her voice cracked. She never had thought that this was possible.
Jocelyn had the face of disappointment as she heard those words come out of her 'daughter's' mouth, "Honey, I'm sorry. You're father and I we were-"
Emily cut her off, "So it's true. After twenty-two years, you never thought to tell me I was adopted. You never thought once to tell me?"
"Dear, we always wanted to tell you, but your father and I we swore to - a friend - that we wouldn't tell you," Jocelyn said as she saw Emily getting her purse, "You're leaving. Please don't."
Emily walked up to Jocelyn, "Who's this friend? My mum? My dad? Why did you swear to him?" Jocelyn was speechless. "That's what I thought." Emily headed for the door and ran out. "Em! Emily!" Jocelyn shouted at her. Emily ignored her. She ran to the park, which wasn't so far from her 'mum's' house. Soon, tears started to form as she dialed, her boyfriend's number.
Jocelyn grabbed the house phone and dialed a number. "Pick up, you fool!" She yelled at the phone.
The person answered. "Yes... Emily she knows... she found out... by her birth certificate... okay, just don't hurt her... well you shouldn't have gaven her to us... don't blame this on us... fine, goodbye."
Jocelyn hung up thought, and let out a deep breath.
"Hello, love." Daniel greeted over the phone.
"Daniel..." Emily quietly, whimpered.
"What's wrong, Em?" Him sounding concerned.
"I just found out I'm adopted," She kept chocking on her words. They were hurting her.
"Em, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" Daniel said trying to comfort her.
"Of course, I'm not you idiot!" Daniel shouted, as a tear rolled down her face.
Daniel sighed. "I'm coming to get you. Where are you?"
"I'm sitting on the bench. Near the duck pond and the park."
"I'm on my way." Daniel hung up, and got into his car. He started the ignition.
Daniel drove to the park and parked his car, right in view of where Emily was crying. He got out of his car and closed the car door behind him. He ran over to Emily, he sat down next to her. Daniel hugged her, rocking her back and forth. She cried on his shoulder, "Daniel." She cried out.
"I'm here. Shh." He stroked her hair.
Emily sat up, releasing from the hug. She wiped her tears, "I just can't believe they never told me. I'm twenty-two. They kept that from me for that many years." Her voice kept getting bumpy.
Daniel wasn't very good a comforting people with words, "How about I try to help you find your birth parents?" Daniel blurted out accidentally.
Emily cracked a smile, "You'd do that? For me? Really? Are you sure?"
Daniel didn't really mean to say that, but she's his girlfriend. He has to help. "Of course. I'd do anything for you."
"You think about starting now?"
Daniel had his hand on the back of his neck, nervously, "I don't know, Emily. I'm a bit busy..."
Emily pouted and did her sweet voice, "Oh. It's fine. I get it. I'll just go back to the house. Alone." She sighed, trying to get his attention.
Emily knew by doing this would make Daniel feel guilty. He soon gave in, "Alright. I'll just have to reschedule. C'mon let's both go back to the house and see what we can find."
Emily nodded, as they got up and go into the car. Daniel remembered something, "Wait, we should go ask Amy and Rory if they know anything."
"Why would they know anything?" Emily looked at Daniel.
"Their parents are close friends with your parents, maybe they know something that they heard from the parents? I don't know, but it's worth a shot."
"Okay, let's go for it." Daniel started the car and drove off.
Daniel and Emily walk up to the Ponds' doorstep. Emily rang the doorbell. The door was opened by Amy, "Hey Guys! What are you guys doing here?"
"We came here to talk to you," Daniel answered.
"Okay," Amy nodded, "Come in, then." She moved aside to let them thru.
Emily and Daniel smiled as they stepped inside.
Emily and Daniel sees Rory on the couch watching a old movie. "Hey Rory," Daniel greeted.
"Oh, hi," Rory got up to hug Emily and do his "secret" handshake with Daniel.
Emily chuckled and rolled her eyes, playfully, "Dorks."
Amy came into the room with some mail, "So what did you guys want to talk about?" She set down the mail on the counter. Rory stepped back and stood next to Amy.
Emily looked to Daniel with the can-you-tell-them-i-might-cry face. Daniel nodded his head once and they turned back to the Ponds, "Emily recently found out she was adopted." Rory and Amy were shocked. "And we wondering, if you've heard anything from Jocelyn or from your parents about this?"
They shook their heads. "I'm sorry, we haven't. But, if you need help with finding information about your birth parents were here for you," Rory commented.
"Yeah. Like, do have anything from your birthparents? Usually, they would give their baby one little trinket," Amy commented.
Emily shook her head, "Besides, my birth certificate and an old pocket watch. That's it." She brought out the two things.
"Have you tried opening the pocket watch?" Rory questioned.
"Actually, no."
"Then, go on. Maybe there will be a clue."
Emily took a deep breath and opened the watch. A beam of light came crashing out and Emily was looking straight into it.
"What the hell is happening?" Daniel asked as he backed up farther.
"We don't know," Amy answered, "Emily, drop the watch and stop looking at it!"
"I can't! It is-" The beam of light started to slowly fade away. As it did, Emily slowly closed her eyes and almost fell to the floor. Daniel had time to catch her fall, he rested her on the couch.
"What just happened?" Daniel questioned.
"We truly don't know..." Amy responded.
"Will she be ok?" Daniel looked at Rory. It took a moment for Rory to realize his nursing skills were needed. He grabbed his spare stethoscope, and scoot next to Daniel.
He put the stethoscope on the left side of her chest, "Her heart still beating." Daniel gave out a sigh of relief. Rory could hear something, like an extra beat. He slowly moved the stethoscope to the right side of her chest, he heard another heart beat. "But that's not possible," Rory mumbled.
"What's not possible?" Amy looked concerned.
"What's wrong with her?" Daniel looked at Rory with sad eyes.
"She has two hearts."
"But that would mean..." Amy started. "Uh-huh," Rory didn't have to let her finish, he knew what she was going to say.
"What would that mean?" Daniel stood up, he was freaking out. Everything was happening so fast.
"Let's just say your girlfriend isn't human..."
"Oh..." Daniel spoke, "Wait... WHAT?"
"I know it sounds impossible. You'll just need to calm down."
Daniel took a deep breath, "Okay. But I just don't understand, she was - is - human."
"The light coming from the watch must have turned her," Rory answered.
"Turned her into what?" Daniel questioned. He looked up at Amy and Rory, they seemed so calm to him. "You guys aren't freaking out, why is that?" He got up and examined them.
"Of course, we are," Amy argues.
"I'm used to weird diagnostics, I am a nurse," Rory states.
Daniel shakes his head, "This is not a sickness. This is some extraterrestrial stuff happening." He looked at them, closely. "You two have encountered aliens, haven't you?"
Amy and Rory look at each other, in silence. They look back at Daniel, still speechless.
"You have!" Daniel exclaims. "But how? - who cares. We need to help Emily!"
"Yes, we have, but we don't know anything about this.." Amy frowns.
Emily woke up, gasping for air. The other three quickly sped over to here. Amy and Daniel kneeling at her side. She sat up, catching her breath, "I remember."
Amy, Rory, and Daniel looked at her concerned. "Remember what?" Daniel asked, gently caressing her hand.
"I was just a baby..."
Baby Emily was walking around the Ponds' residence. She saw a shadow figure appear in front of her. Frowning, she looked up and saw a lady with an eyepatch. The lady squat down to her level, "Hello, Baby Emily. My name is Madame Kovarian." Amy screamed, "Emily!" "Erase the memories," Kovarian commanded her servants, of half-soliders and half-silence. She turns back to Emily, "Here you go, Emily." She hands her a -the- pocket watch, and regeneration puff flows into the watch. Emily stumbles and falls on her bottom. Kovarian closes the watch and puts it in her pocket. She picks up Emily, "Let's go meet your new mummy and daddy then."
"You were kidnap, by a lady with an eyepatch?" Daniel tilted her head.
"I remember it that way."
"Do you remember anything else?" Rory stepped in.
Emily shook her head. "I wish I could, but I was only a baby. I'm surprised I remembered that."
"Well, that's a good place to start on how you got all non-human."
Emily's head was pounding; she put her hand on her head. Looking around she noticed, a blue envelope. "What's that over there?" She pointed.
Amy rushed over to the countertop, "What? This?" Amy raised up the envelope. Emily nodded her head.
She examined the envelope. "TARDIS blue," She said quietly.
"What?" Daniel looked at her.
"Nothing," Amy responded. She ripped open the envelope and pulled out the card. "Date, Time, Map reference."
"For what?" Emily's voice was getting weaker, and softer.
"It has to be the Doctor. He probably wants us to go somewhere," Rory looked at Emily.
"Who's 'the Doctor'?" Daniel questioned.
"A very old friend of ours," Amy replied, looking to Rory smiling.
Daniel's phone rang. He checked it, "Sorry. Got to take this."
Daniel walked to the other room. "Hey, Sis."
"Daniel, I'm at your house right now. I brought you a few of your old mementos from Mum and Dad's house. I thought you'd might like them."
"Okay. Thanks. Sorry, Lexi, but I'm kinda in a hurry."
"Hurry? Why? What's wrong? Has something happened to Emily? What did you do?" Lexi said in a panicking tone.
"Calm down. Emily is fine, and I did nothing. Just a problem, going on with her family."
She calmed down. "I do hope everything is alright with them." An envelope fell through the mail flap. "Looks like you've got mail."
"What is it?" He rolled his eyes, groaning.
"I don't know. Just a blue envelope with a number four on it. Must've come along way, many stamps."
His eyes widened. "Just put it on the kitchen table, I'll read it later. Thanks so much. Go to go. Bye."
"Wait Daniel!" He had already hung up the phone.
Daniel came running into the room. "News! We just received a blue envelope, like yours."
Amy and Rory looked at him shocked. "Are you sure?"
"It looks exactly like that," He assumes, by the way his sister described it.
"Why does this Doctor man want to meet us?"
"You won't know. Until you find out. So come on. Looks like we'll have to go far, if we are going to the same place."
Emily sighed, standing up.
