Hello people!
I'm back! After Last Christmas I needed to write something even though this starts after Death in Heaven and The Doctor actually found Gallifrey.
Hope you enjoy.
Reviews please? To know if I should continue.
Thank you.

Ch. 01 – What the Hell?
-Clara-
FUCK! FUCK! What am I going to do now? I grabbed my phone and dialed that number I swore I'd delete from my phone. The Doctor. Yes, I need to talk to him, I need him here. Oh, how I regret lying to him that day he went away. No, I did the right thing, he deserved to go back home after so long.
He didn't answer, I left a message. I was desperate, why the hell did I get him drunk and seduced him that night when I first saw him after Danny's passing? Okay, it was amazing yet sad because I knew I couldn't belong to anyone else after that, The Doctor was my match. I'd wait for a month then I'd seek help. Right now I need to go to school, I have a class to teach. My pregnancy could wait for a while.

Two months and no sign from The Doctor, I didn't know what to think anymore. I needed help, my belly was growing way faster than it should still I was terrified to go to a doctor and find out my baby has two hearts. People would want to study my offspring and me, I couldn't let that happen. Of course I knew The Doctor would never come back to play house with me and his child, one way or another I knew I'd have to raise this kid alone. I needed The Doctor here just for information, how long I'd be pregnant, if the baby is alright, how it would develop and stuff like that.

School was on vacation, finally. I, at last, had time to go to Cardiff and look for Martha Jones. She was a proper doctor and former companion, if someone could help me besides The Doctor himself, it would be her. I googled her and found her address. I felt like passing out because of my nerves but I knew I had to do it. Knock knock, God help me.
A dark skinned man opened the door, I smiled shyly, he was probably Mickey, the idiot. My Doctor loved to call him that, though he respects this man a lot.
"Hello, is Martha Jones here?" I asked and he glared at me.
"And who are you?" I looked deep inside his eyes.
"I'm Clara Oswald and I'm here because of The Doctor." He rolled his eyes.
"Oh, you're one of these curious girls fascinated by him? We can't help you find him." It was my time to roll the eyes.
"Mickey Smith, can you please call your wife for me? I was a companion as well, and right now I need help as soon as possible." His eyes widened.
"Come in." He stepped aside and let me in. I saw Martha was watching TV with a baby on her lap. It was such a cute sight. "Martha, this woman claims she knows The Doctor and needs our help." Martha looked at me and smiled.
"Hello dear, don't mind his rudeness. New baby in the house we aren't sleeping much. So, why are you here?" I smiled, I already liked this Martha, I could see why she was once a companion.
"I'm Clara and I'm here because I'm pregnant, and I can't contact The Doctor. He went to Gallifrey and haven't replied me ever since. I really do think he's in trouble after 'killing' Missy. Oh, Missy is The Master, that filthy man that made you walk all around the Earth." Martha seemed lost in thought.
"You said you're pregnant, is this The Doctor's work? He was always a flirt anyway." I giggled.
"A flirt? Not my Doctor. He's regenerated twice since you last saw him. I met his tenth self once, yeah, he was quite a flirt. His eleventh self was a silly boy, he was wonderful and easy to be around, then he regenerated to his twelfth self and all hell broke loose. I was with him when he regenerated and my heart aches when I remember him begging me to see him. He turned all grumpy and mean, but then I realized he was like that just because this is probably his most sensitive body. He's a huge grumpy teddy bear." My eyes watered. "I miss him so much." I confessed and Martha handed her baby to Mickey and hugged me tight. I broke down crying.
"Shhh, it's okay. We'll find him for you." I nodded hugging her tight. To light up the mood Martha giggled. "Now, I so need to know how you managed to sleep with The Doctor, is there anything else in double besides his hearts?" I choked laughing and crying at the same time. Mickey rolled his eyes.
"We really don't need to hear that right baby boy?" He talked to his baby son and left the room. I wiped my eyes and turned to Martha.
"Well, my boyfriend had died three weeks before but I haven't seen The Doctor in almost a month, so I was grieving and drinking wine when he arrived. I confess that I've always found him hot in his twelfth body and I love him so much even though I don't think we would have a healthy relationship because we're too alike. At that time he arrived I thought it would be a good idea to seduce him, never in my wild dreams I imagined he would drink with me and end up putting me to bed, so when he did I pulled him to me and kissed him on the lips. I remember I was ready to be yelled off when he locked our lips again and gave himself to me." Martha's eyes widened.
"And what went wrong?" I looked down.
"I woke up alone in bed the next morning, he had left but the Tardis was still parked in my bedroom, so I stole his key and threatened him to throw it away if he didn't help me get Danny back. Things went down the hill and cutting a long story short: Missy AKA The Master told him Gallifrey's location and we were able to bring someone from the dead, but Danny didn't came back, he sent back the boy he killed when he was a soldier. He used this chance to save his soul, he didn't love me enough to come back to me. I lied to The Doctor, I knew that if I told him the truth he would have stayed, but I didn't have the right to stop him from going home. He deserved to go home." My eyes' watered again and Martha held my hand.
"Oh, that was a beautiful gesture Clara, now, do you want to see this baby of yours? We bought a sonogram machine for when we had Elliot. C'mon?" I couldn't help but smile. I followed her.

I was laying on the bed with Martha doing the sonogram and Mickey holding my hand. When I saw my baby on screen, I started crying.
"Clara, you said you're around two months along right?" I nodded. "Then I guess gallifreyans pregnancies last less time than humans'. Your baby is the size of a 4 month human fetus, and it's healthy, and it has binary vascular system, meaning it has two hearts. Do you wanna know the gender?" I nodded eagerly. "It's a girl. Congratulations Clara! It's a beautiful baby girl." I started crying and Martha let me hear the sound of my little girl's hearts. I've never loved The Doctor more than at that moment.
Later on Mickey called Jack, he said he would be the man to help us locate The Doctor. The moment Jack walked inside the house his eyes widened.
"Oswin?" I rolled my eyes and shook my head, that was all I didn't want at that moment. He met one of my echoes before.
"No, I'm Clara. Oswin is one of the thousand echoes I have all around time and space from when I jumped on The Doctor's time stream to save his life in Trenzalore. Oh, and Oswin died saving The Doctor by becoming a "good" Dalek." They all looked at me.
"Is that even possible? A good Dalek?" Mickey asked.
"I didn't know I was a Dalek, I still thought I was a human, but enough of that. I'm not Oswin, I'm Clara Oswald. Can you find me The Doctor?" Jack smirked.
"Bossy, I like it, though I can't see how The Doctor stands you." I laughed.
"He more than stands me." I said running my hands on my little belly. His jaw dropped.

I was five months pregnant already and we couldn't communicate with The Doctor at all. I was desperate and huge. My belly was like a 7/8 month belly for a normal pregnancy. I was so tired, but I couldn't give up, not now, not ever.
Martha and I were watching TV, in my London flat, when we heard the Tardis noise coming from my room. We ran there the moment the door opened, a woman came out looking dizzy. No sign of The Doctor though. She muttered something like "I don't know how father can stand this". The woman looked at me and smiled big.
"Clara? Are you Clara Oswald?" I nodded and she came to me and hugged me tight. I was paralyzed. "Don't you like hugs? Father told me humans like hugs, well, I'm sorry for hugging you. I don't know much about humans, that's the first time I see you, you are forbidden back home." Martha was the one who interrupted the girl.
"Father? Are you The Doctor's daughter? Cause you got a gob just like his." She nodded.
"Yes, his title is The Doctor and, how rude of me, my name is Joanburgiansys, but you can call me Joan. I came here to ask for help, Father returned to Gallifrey but the council locked him up, they only let me see him once and he told me to find you, Miss Clara. He's very fond of you and said your stubbornness would be the only thing able to save him. I'm trying ever since to make this stupid old box to bring me to you. So, let's go?" I just sat on my bed and started crying.
