We fixeded it.
It was the worst day, the hardest day of the year for the two of them. The anniversary of the day Rose was pulled into that parallel world. The Doctor was in the control room thinking of her while the Lady was tinkering in her room on one of her many inventions. His current favorite was the new wings she made that hid under her jacket.
There was a sudden semi-explosion from her room and her doors shot open and the Lady ran out coughing and waving her hand in front of her face to get rid of the smoke.
"Are you alright? What was that?" he asked jumping up as the Lady closed the doors to her room.
"Nothing. I grabbed the quantum regenerate when I meant to grab the claltic acid. Needless to say in this particular formula… it go boom."
"What are you trying to do?"
"You'll see when I'm finished. Promise. It's supposed to be a surprise."
"It's not every day there is an explosion in my ship, I assure you I am surprised. But I would still like to know what's going on in there," he said.
"Making modifications on my gloves," she said, holding up her black gloves. He saw that sure enough the mechanics on it had been removed.
"And you need claltic acid for it?"
"For the modifications I'm making, yep," she said popping the p at the end like he did sometimes.
He looked at her sternly as he could for a moment with fatherly eyes but she just gave that cocky grin of her mother's and checked the smoke readings in her room.
"Looks to be all clear now," she said with a smile, "Mind if I get back to it?"
"No, no don't mind me," he said.
The Lady smiled and rolled her eyes. "I'll fix lunch in a few, k?" she called dashing back into her room.
"Alright, take your time," he called trying to catch a peek at what she could possibly be working on but she was sly devil and he didn't get a single glimpse. He went back to his work and she to hers.
It wasn't long until the TARDIS started shaking and lights going off like crazy. He couldn't even get to the controls to see what was wrong. He grabbed ahold of the nearest solid object, a railing, and called out to his daughter.
"Lady!" he called. She didn't answer and he wrestled his way to her room and the door opened to reveal her form strapped into a fervently working machine, her body glowing with the gold essence of her Time Lord soul.
"LADY!" he cried, and as soon as he did the machine stopped and the Lady fell free. The TARDIS stopped moving too and the Doctor's first concern was the Lady. He ran to her and lifted her head looking her over.
She opened her weary eyes and looked up at him giving a weak smile. "Ugh. Did it work?"
"What did you do?" he asked.
"I don't know, yet. May have just caused a minor earthquake in the TARDIS," she said rolling to her feet and dashing quickly to the door.
"What were you trying-"
"Oh mercy of Valhalla it worked!" she cried happily running back to the dumbstruck Doctor sitting in her room. "You have got to see this, Dad, but first things first, notice the TARDIS is still alive and functioning."
"Yeeeesss," he said confused.
"Good now come on," she said grabbing his arm and pulling him to the door.
"Wha-?" he started when she pushed him the rest of the way to the door.
"Go look," she said with a wicked smirk. She was much too happy for this day… for this situation.
With a cautious hand he reached forward and pulled the door open, his mouth fell agape at the sight. It looked just like Earth except it wasn't it was the parallel Earth. The one where Rose was.
"Lady… Wha… What did you do?" he gasped.
Jackie was the first one to spot them… well him. The Lady was still inside the TARDIS and hidden from view. "Oh my God," she gasped. "Oh God…"
"Mum what is it? Who is that man? He looks like Rose's Doctor did…"
"That is Rose's Doctor, luv. The one that lived here was his clone. That is why she could never really love him. Because her heart already belonged to him… go get your sister, Tony." The boy turned and ran back to the house.
"What are you doin here?" she hissed as he stepped forward, "How did you get back here?"
"I-I-" he started still dumbstruck from his trip to the alternate world. He spun around and saw all the lights still glowing inside the TARDIS. "I don't understand it all myself…" he muttered.
The Lady smiled and made a shooing motion with her hands and pointed behind him. He spun around and saw Rose standing across the lawn staring with tears in her eyes. She took off running and jumped into his arms. He spun her in the hug and held her tighter.
"Rose…" he whispered.
"How did you get back?" she whispered, her voice shaking. The Doctor moved aside and the Lady was standing there in the door with a smile on her face.
"But this is-"
"Hi, Mom. Hi, Gran," she said smiling at them both.
"Oh, my little Lady," she cried both rushing forward and the three shared a well-deserved hug after eleven years. "Oh, you figured how to get the TARDIS here?" Rose asked in surprise.
"Yeah, just a bit of tinkering."
"Just like your, Dad," Rose said smiling to the Doctor and reaching for his hand.
"Yeah, why didn't you tell me about that?" he asked.
"To keep her safe."
"Ah… yeah I could see where being around me at such a young age would be… traumatic."
"To say the least," Jackie growled.
"But wait what happened to the other me? The one in this world?"
"He… died… a while back. Got shot in a robbery. Didn't even have any business being there. But it doesn't matter. He wasn't you. Well he was but… he wasn't," she said flinging herself back into his arms.
"I am not leavin' you two again, you hear?" she said sternly.
The Lady smiled at her dad and mom, and pulled them both into hugs again. She was with her complete family. Her hearts soared in delight at the mere prospect of the thought and here that it was with her she thought she was going to die of absolute delight. She buried her face in her father's shoulder and proceeded to start crying.
"Lady what's wrong?" the Doctor asked holding her close.
"Lady?" Rose asked looking at him.
"Her chosen moniker," he explained. "Now there, my girl, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Not a thing. Everything is perfect," she said, tears dripping down her cheeks as she clung to them. "Nothing could be better."
"Ohh, one big happy family," Jackie cooed. "And now that you can come visit- er- you can come visit right…" Jackie said looking at the Doctor desperately. "I mean she is my granddaughter. I've every right to see her."
"Jackie, I can't say. I wasn't the one who did this. Lady is," the Doctor said.
Jackie looked at her granddaughter taking her young face in her hands, "You can come back, yeah? I can't leave here now. I've got your uncle Tony and my Pete here," she said tears in her eyes.
The Lady glanced back at the TARDIS. "I don't know Gran. I know it had enough juice for two trips but many more and it will tear a hole in the space time continuum…"
Jackie spun and slapped the Doctor. "OW! What was that for?" he exclaimed.
"This is all your bloody fault! If you had never asked my Rose to go on those damned adventures-!"
"Then you wouldn't be here with Tony or Grandfather, you wouldn't have me, and you wouldn't be safe either. Think about how many disasters Mom averted when she traveled with Dad," Lady said logically.
Jackie pulled her into her arms and cried on her granddaughters shoulder, "But it isn't fair."
"Well nothing says we have to leave right away," Lady said glancing over her shoulder to her parents for help. "The system should hold for as long as we want. Dad?" she asked.
"Ahh I don't see what a couple of weeks could hurt," he said.
"A couple of weeks! Only a couple of weeks to say goodbye to my daughter and granddaughter forever!" she shrieked.
"Gran, please for me try and get along with Dad. Please, if this is to be the last time we are to see each other then please can we try for civil?"
Jackie glared at the Doctor again then looked back to the Lady, "I'll try, baby, for you."
Rose clasped her hand in his and they started off toward the mansion where she had lived these past years… but no more. Her Doctor and daughter had returned for her.

A few days later Rose found the Lady in the gardens, "Have you seen your father anywhere?" she asked. Lady looked up from her book and blinked in surprise.
"I thought he was with you," she said raising her eyebrow.
"Oh where's he gotten off too now."
"Well he hasn't left this world for ours, that I can promise," Lady said.
"How do you know?"
"One, you're still here, two, I'm still here, three, I am the only one who knows how to work the device that got us here in the first place."
"How does it work?"
"Taps into my genetic wavelength and uses the energy from my Time Lord genes to power it."
"Isn't that dangerous?"
"Nah. Worked out all possible bugs," she said flipping her book back open. "Half Time Lord remember. I know things no human ever will."
"So where do you think he wandered off to?" she asked, sitting down beside her.
"Ahh, he'll be back soon," she said. No sooner had she said that than the unmistakable sound of the TARDIS's return. "Speak of the devil," she said turning the page.
"There are my girls," he said smiling and stepping from the blue box.
"Hey, Dad," the Lady said not even glancing up from her book.
"She seems to have gotten used to that quickly," Rose said running up and smiling at him, throwing her arms around his neck. "By the way you aren't allowed to travel in the TARDIS without me anymore."
"Ohh, wouldn't dream of it," he said with that Doctor smirk of his. "What about you, Lady?"
"You can't get home without me and you ain't getting shed of me now that I have my family back," she said with a grin over the spine of her book.
"That's my girl," he said with a smile. The Lady smiled back and returned to her book.
"So where did ya go?" the Lady asked flipping another page.
"Er… Surprise. You'll find out later, nothing to be worried about," he said.
"Save a world again?" Rose asked with a smile.
"He better not have, I'll kick his butt if he left me behind!" the Lady suddenly yelled slamming her book shut.
"Oh don't worry you," he said, "I know better than to leave you out of an adventure. Now come on. We have a dinner to get too."
Well here is chapter one and since I could find no courtship rituals for Gallifray I had to make my own up… oh well hope you guys like what they are in the next chapter. I know my test group did.
