Snowed in
Children lay asleep in their warm, cosy beds, awaiting the rising sun, and the winter scenes that would be waiting for them. Christmas trees were decorated, waiting to be surrounded by presents.
When it was around 5'oclock, a heavy downpour of snow, dusted the country. In some area of the United Kingdom, the snow had already reached ten inches deep. Whereas other areas had only had an inch. This year it was going to be a proper white Christmas.
In the countryside, ten miles away from Cardiff, the fields were not so much fields anymore, more like a winter wonderland. It was 8'oclock and time for Hannah to awaken. The other side of the large king-sized bed was empty. It was still warm though, meaning that the Doctor had only awoken a little while ago. Hannah flung her legs out of the bed so that they hung, and stood up. She was in her warm fleece pyjamas, as the heating in the house went off at night. The bathroom door was locked, meaning that the Doctor must have been in there. Hannah walked into a large walk-in wardrobe. She selected a pair of dark denim jeans, a green long sleeved t-shirt, a tight fitting, think leather jacket and a pair of long, fur-lined, brown boots.
Once she was dressed she walked back into the bedroom. The bathroom door clicked open and the Doctor stepped out, dressed in his usual tweed jacket and blue bow-tie. "Morning" he said, walking over to her and giving her a quick peck on the cheek. "You should take a look outside. It's beautiful." He walked her over to the bedroom window and pulled back the curtains. A fresh blanket of untouched snow lay on the ground. "It's gonna take me a heck of a long time to get to work." Mentioned Hannah. The Doctor smiled at her. "I'm coming with you." He told her. They walked out of the bedroom door hand in hand.
One they had reached the ground floor of their three floor house, they both walked towards the front door, not forgetting the door keys that lay on the coffee table."We've got a problem" mentioned the Doctor looking through the windows of the door. "We're snowed in." Hannah burst into laughter and so did he. "Well I can defiantly say that I have never been snowed into before." She smiled and pulled out her mobile phone. "I guess I had better tell Jack that we're not coming." Hannah tapped in the number for Torchwood. "Hello, Jack its Hannah. Well there's a problem, we are well, snowed in"
Jack laughed when he had heard that Hannah and the Doctor were snowed in. Then a thought hit him. "Wait, the kids were at a friend's house right?" he asked, realising what Hannah had said to him yesterday. "Yes and I am meant to be picking them up at eleven. Now I'm stuck indoors, not that I'm complaining." Hannah didn't say the last bit, just thought it. Jack thought to himself. "I'll pick them up at eleven and I'll try to get over to your house and shovel you out. When I can that is, at the moment we are having a bit of trouble down here." Hannah snorted. "Oh I'm missing all the fun, again. And before you mention using the TARDIS, it's buried out in the snow somewhere." Jack chuckled. "Ok, well I had best be going. Call ahead to Jasmine and tell her I will pick the kids up when I can. Ok bye."
He cut Hannah off before she had managed to say "Ok" and "Bye". She tapped another phone number into her phone and held it to her ear. It rang. "Hello" said a voice from the other end of the line. "Hello Jasmine, its Hannah. I'm just calling to tell you that I won't be picking up the kids, but a friend of mine will. He could be late so don't panic if he is." Jasmine laughed a little. "What happened this time?" She asked. "Promise you won't laugh. Well I am snowed in with my husband." Jasmine giggled. "Well it could have been worse. How are you going to get out of this one?" She asked. "Well a friend of mine, the friend that is picking up the kids, will hopefully dig us out. But at the moment it is still snowing."
Suddenly the sound of static cut in. the weather had finally knocked out the phone lines. "Well, Jack's picking up the kids and hopefully going to shovel us out. All we can do is wait, if only we had the TARDIS." Said Hannah as she walked over to a chair. Placing her keys back on the table, she sat down. "Well then, what do we do now?" The Doctor walked over and perched on the arm of the chair. "Well I need to analyse this object that we found yesterday on our trip to Vocka. I could do it later if you want." "I don't mind. You could do it now, but if there is something else you want to do. I need to finish this report for Jack." Hannah mentioned. The Doctor pulled a triangular devise out of his pocket. He threw it up in the air and caught it. "Well there isn't really anything else to do, unless well… you know." He blushed. "I suppose" she said, grabbing her handbag and the Doctor's hand. He pulled her off the chair and they made their way upstairs.
