Chapter One.
"Doctor" Rose said coming into the control room of the TARDIS. She had just realised that it was Christmas eve, back in earth anyway, and she wanted to see her mother.
"Yeah?" the Doctor asked coming out from under the TARDIS console.
"It's Christmas" Rose said and laughed at the Doctor's blank expression until it hit him with what she was getting at.
"Uh oh" the Doctor said "Okay Rose, I know we had Christmas dinner last year with your mother but-" the Doctor started but was interrupted by Rose.
"I know you don't do domestic. But can we please just visit my mother, it'll make her Christmas if we're there"
"You mean if your there" the Doctor said earning him a glare from Rose.
"Please, it'll only be for a few days. I promise" Rose said doing the puppy dog eyes that she knew the Doctor couldn't resist.
"Oh fine" the Doctor said and he set the co-ordinates for London, making Rose smile at him. "But we're not staying until New Year like last time"
"Trust me I can promise you that won't happen. We'll be back home by then I can promise you" Rose said as the TARDIS materialised in the Powell estate.
The Doctor and Rose walked onto the Powell estate. The Doctor looked around at the now very familiar surroundings, as they came back quite often.
It was Christmas eve, the Doctor thought as they walked up the stairs. It had been one year since the sycorax, one year since they'd all sat round and eaten Christmas dinner together. And knowing Jackie they'd be doing the same this year as well, like many other families at Christmas. Is that what they were to him now, Family, Rose and himself had been through so much in the last two years, and they'd grown very close. But does that make them family now.
Jackie opened the door with a smile on her face, a smile that widened the moment she saw them standing there.
"Oh Rose, you made it. I thought you said you'd call before your next visit. What use is a phone if you don't use it" Jackie said pulling her daughter into a tight hug.
"Yeah, it's great to see you too but your crushing my diaphragm and I can't breath" Rose replied.
"Oh sorry love" Jackie said releasing her daughter from her grip "You know I was just about to ring you. I have something to tell you, but come on I'll tell you over a cup of tea" Jackie said ushering them into the flat.
"Okay Mum tell me what's going on" Rose said when they were sitting down with a cup of tea.
"Well you see it's Mo. Her husband John has inherited a house from his aunt who died. You know Uncle Josh, the man with the-"
"Yes Mum I know who Uncle Josh is" Rose said
"Right yes sorry love" Jackie said "Anyway, it turns out he's inherited this house from her as he's the only living relative."
"And that's good because?" Rose asked
"They've invited us round for Christmas." Jackie said "Now I've said that I'm going and I said that if you were here you and the Doctor would come too-"
"Oh no Mum I can't" Rose protested, even though she would quite like to see them all again.
"Rose, we haven't seen them in years, and they really want to meet who your travelling with." Jackie said
"Well yes but I can't just leave the Doctor." Rose replied.
"But Rose-" Jackie said
"No Mum I'm sorry but I can't come with you" Rose said "The Doctor doesn't do families and I don't want to leave him"
"Rose" the Doctor said softly standing up behind the two women who had now stood up.
"No Doctor. I'm sorting this one. I know you don't like domestics so this isn't a good idea"
"And if I'm meant to come along too don't I get a say in all this?" the Doctor said.
"Well yeah, but your going to say no. You said so yourself you don't do families" Rose said looking at the Doctor.
"And when was that exactly?" the Doctor asked.
"Well just after we met, when Mum invited you round to dinner" Rose said
"And what's happened since then?"
"Oh loads of stuff. Werewolves, Krillitanes, Cybermen, clockwork men-" Rose replied
"I mean to me" the Doctor asked
"Oh you regenerated" Rose said
"Yeah" the Doctor said
"What are you trying to say?" Rose asked
"I mean, we can go" the Doctor said
"Oh well that's sorted then. I'll go and ring Mo right now" Jackie said running over to the phone.
"Are you sure?" Rose asked "I mean isn't it too domestic for you?"
"Well like you said it's only until boxing day. Anyway I want to meet your family" the Doctor said and Rose in reply pulled him into a tight hug and whispered into his ear "Thank you"
