A/N: So, Here I am. With Christmas Cheer! Yea, I love this time of year, I just got into my Dream school so I'm pretty excited, so here's a new story! Enjoy loves!

Disclaimer: No owny, no rights, so sad :( (all BBC's)

Characters: Rose and 10.5

Song: Carol of the Bells (any version you like!)

Oh how they pound,
Raising the sound,
O'er hill and dale,
Telling their tale,
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

The lights on the tree twinkled brightly, like nothing seen before. Rose tiptoed around the perimeter adjusting a few lights and decorations, while John put the finishing touches on the toy kitchen their young daughter, Lilly, had wanted so badly. Set up a good distance away from the tree was a chemistry set, complete with lab equipment that their eldest, Alex, had "subtly" suggested as a possible gift.

John stood up admiring his work; he thought back to the Doctor and wondered how he could have ever though this a bad life. It was a new adventure every day. His children with just enough Time Lord to make them clever, and just enough humanity to make them too curious made them the biggest challenge he ever had to face. The amount of things Lilly alone could get into mad his head spin. Just the other day she had somehow managed to figure out how to get into the cellar downstairs. Padlocked, and password protected, she cracked it all and found her way in, and she was only six! When she was finally found and questioned, she responded with a simple, 'I was bored.'

Rose walked over offering him a cookie she and Lilly had prepared earlier that day for Santa. He smiled and took one, wrapping his arm around her.

"I remember." Rose began, "Being little and my mum taking me to see this choir. They were all children, my age, I was about eight, but it was beautiful." She began to hum, then sing "Hark! How they sound, Sweet Silver Bells."

"Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!" John joined in, causing Rose to giggle.

"D'you think they'll like them?" She asked.

"I think so," John looked at the clock on the mantle, "We've got about twenty minutes before they wake up, I suppose we should get in position then." He stood up and led Rose to their bedroom, both of them sliding into bed. Twenty minutes later their bed sank down from the added weight.

"MUMMY! DADDY!" Their children bounced up and down on their bed, "Wake up! It's Christmas! UP! UP! UP!" John and Rose made a show of stretching, their hands being grabbed, and tugged down the stairs. "LET'S SEE WHAT SANTA BROUGHT!" They entered the living room, cherishing the look of joy on their children's faces as they took in the vast amount of presents. Jackie and Pete took pleasure in spoiling their children, and they were quite the hit at Torchwood.

"Daddy, look! I got a kitchen!" Lilly squealed with joy, tinkering with all the parts. John got a nagging feeling that he would be finding pieces of the toy around the house. She was a bit too much like him, always taking things apart. Actually, they both were, he didn't know how many radios, televisions, and toasters Alex had taken apart.

"Wow," Alex ran his hand slowly across the chemistry set, as if it might break. Lilly had moved on to the wrapped gifts, two dolls lay unwrapped already. Alex walked over to the tree and began unwrapping his gifts. Rose made herself comfortable on the couch, staring with the brightest love for her children. John took this moment to slip into Lilly's room. He was quite glad that his daughter loved keeping secrets for once, it mad hiding Rose's gift much easier. He reached up in Lilly's wardrobe and pulled down the doll house, opening it to reveal a small box. He came back into the living room, slipping into the spot next to Rose while their children played happily.

"I'd wondered where you'd wandered off too." She snuggled into his side. He handed her the small wrapped gift, glancing at him. She slowly unwrapped the gift her eyes widening in surprise at the beautiful necklace.

"It's meant to look like a super nova," He explained, "The middle is topaz, spreading out into amethyst, it's our-"

"Our children's birthstones!" Her eyes filled with tears, "It's beautiful!" She kissed him full on the lips.

"EWW!" Lilly exclaimed. John and Rose laughed. They joined their children on the floor, helping them unwrap each present. At some point Alex got up and turned on the radio. Rose smiled when she heard the song.

Hark! How the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say,
"Throw cares away."
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
