The Doctor and His Boy
His screams echoed through my ears. "Let me go! Daddy, help me! Daddy! No! DADDY!" I stood frozen, not knowing what to do... I was the Doctor, a Time Lord, and yet I couldn't save my own son.
Several Days Before:
The Doctor smiled as "You can't catch me, you can't catch me!" echoed the halls of the Tardis; quickly glancing up from the consol, he dashed to the wall of the pass through, crouching down with his back against the wall. Peering over the corner, the Doctor caught a glimpse of what was barreling his way. Jumping from his hiding spot he shouted "GOTCHA!" grabbing the small boy around the waist and spinning him around the deck.
The shrieks of the boy echoed down the hall, reaching the ears of River Song; "Trevor!" was the only word that she spoke before sprinting into a mad dash to her son's aid. It wasn't until she reached the Consol room that she realized that they were shrieks of joy, not fear. A small smile crept across her face as she watched the tall lanky man, who was much older than he looked and yet a child at heart, swing a pint sized version of themselves around.
While she knew that she had to put a stop to this before someone got hurt, she couldn't bring herself to do so, the boys were partners in crime turning the world into their playground, and she loved every moment of it. While River was grinning at the havoc, the Doctor slowly came to a stop in front of her, putting the boy down and ruffling his floppy brown hair.
"Sweetie, why don't you go wash up and start getting ready for bed."
The Doctor smiled, "Mums right kiddo, it's getting late."
Nodding, the boy looked up at his parents "Mummy, Daddy, you are going to come and tuck me in...RIGHT?" The pair nodded, admiring the way Trevor manipulated the question into a demand.
River patted his back, "Alright, off you go. Give us a shout when you are done."
Trevor chewed his lip..."Dad...can you go with me?"
The Doctor crouched down to his son's level, "What's the matter? The bathroom is right down the hall...you don't need me for that." He gave the boy a soft smile, and whispered "There is nothing to be afraid of, not while I'm around." He leaned away "Okay?" the boy nodded; clapping his hands together "Okay! Good, then off you go!"
He stayed crouching as he watched his son walk down the hall, smiling once the bathroom light turned on. He slowly stood up, and spinning on his heel he grinned "Hello sweetie" adjusting his bow tie as he greeted his wife. He pulled her closer but was interrupted by her finger to his lips.
"Now now Doctor. We don't want Trevor walking in on something that he isn't supposed to, now do we?"
He smirked, giving her a peck on the cheek.
As if on cue, Trevor called "Mum, Dad." The two turned their heads and smiled as they watched their little timelord yawn.
The Doctor broke his grip around Rivers waist and walked over to his little boy, picking him up and laying him on his shoulder, "I suppose its time for bed now?" Trevor only nodded and buried his face in the shoulder pad of his father's tweed jacket. The Doctor smiled, turning around he motioned for River to follow.
The family walked down a few hallways before stopping at a blue paneled door. River opened up the door for the Doctor, walking into Trevor's room; she turned on the light before heading over to his bed to pull back the sheets.
The Doctor quietly followed, only adjusting the boy a bit, before sitting on the edge of his bed and carefully laying him down. River turned on a night light that was sitting on his dresser, projecting the stars of the universe onto his dark blue walls, then crossed the room to turn off the bedroom light. Once the lights went out, the boy flinched, opening his eyes.
"Daddy?"He said in a panic.
"I'm right here Trevor, shhh, its okay. I'm right here." The Doctor pulled the covers over Trevor, tucking him in nice and tight. About to stand, he felt Trevor grab his wrist.
"Daddy, could you please tell me a story?"
The Doctor only smiled, "Of course".
Alright so what do you think? This is just an idea to a bigger series that I want to write. Please review and be critical! I want to improve because this is my first!
