Ok this is the replacement of my former Doctor Who story. Enjoy!
Twelve year old Rose Tyler was in the hospital. She had come down with a horrible fever. Jackie Tyler paced around the waiting room. Rose's doctor said he would come back out to talk to Jackie about Rose's condition. Since then, Jackie hadn't seen him.
As she paced, Jackie saw her sister and brother in law, with their daughter. Her sister's name was Lynne Reese and her brother in law was Frank Reese. Their daughter was Katherine Reese. Eleven year old Katherine adored Rose. As the three entered the waiting room Katherine seemed the most worried. Lynne and Frank looked indifferent.
"Aunt Jackie," Katherine called as she ran to Jackie. "Where's Rose? Is she ok?"
"I don't know anything yet, sweetie. The doctor hasn't come back out yet."
"We're sorry to hear about Rose," said Lynne. She sounded sincere.
"Listen, Jackie," started Frank. He and Jackie never really had gotten along. "We were wondering if you would watch Katherine tonight. I know it's inconvenient, but we have other plans and Katherine really can't go anywhere else."
"Plus I want to be here with Rose," said Katherine.
Jackie sighed. "Alright, but not for you two. I'm doing this so Katherine can see Rose," she told Lynne and Frank.
They thanked her and left. Jackie looked at Katherine. "Promise me you won't grow up to be like them." Katherine nodded. She took that promise to heart.
The doctor came out. He was a short, bald man with oval glasses on. "Well, Mrs Tyler, your daughter will be fine. She has a slight case of the flu. She'll be better in a few days."
Jackie put her hand to her heart in relief. Katherine asked, "Can we see her?" The doctor nodded and told them that Rose was in room 108.
Jackie and Katherine ran down the hall to room 108. Little Rose was drenched in sweat. She looked like she was sleeping, but Rose saw Jackie and Katherine come in. She smiled. "See, mom? I told you I was fine."
"I know, honey," said Jackie. "It's only the flu. The doctor says you'll be better in a few days."
Rose kept smiling. She moved her head to see Katherine. "Hey, Katherine."
"Hi, Rose. I hope you get better soon."
"I will. Where are your parents?"
"They left me with Aunt Jackie. They're out to dinner with some of their friends."
"They just left you? Even when they knew how worried mom was?"
"Now, honey, don't get worked up. It won't help your health," said Jackie. "In fact, we should probably go. I love you, sweetie." Jackie kissed Rose's forehead. Katherine walked over to Rose and hugged her.
Katherine spent the night at Jackie's apartment. Her parents came and picked her up the next morning. Katherine ended up spending most of her time with Jackie and Rose as she grew up. She grew up to be 5' 6", with medium dirty blond hair and light blue eyes. She kept her promise to Jackie and acted more like Jackie and Rose than her parents.
