"Alexandra! What are you doing here? Thought you were getting lunch in the village today? You have ten minutes to be at school!"

She looked up her mother doe eyed.

" I don't feel well." she sighed.

"Alex I'm not falling for that."

"I think I'm hungry sill" she whined and barged her way in.

"fine ill do you some fish fingers and then you get back to school."

Alex threw her arms around her mother

"I love you"

The doctor was nearly there. He was running through things to say. How to apologize. Explain that he acted irrationally because he was scared. He thought it was best for her to stay away from him, and live on earth because he couldn't stand to loose her on an adventure. He opened the gate. He was knocked the front door. This was very unusual to him.

Amy looked in the direction of the door,

"get that on your way out." she took her daughter's plate away.

"mum, I feel-"

She was cut of by her mother " Tuesday after lunch double maths am I correct? You cant out smart me

Pond" she laughed.

"ughh, I hate you!" Alex stormed out the kitchen, not even acknowledging the strange man on the doorstep just shouting. "she's in there."

Amy was chuckling as she walked to the door, but that stopped as soon as she saw who it was.

She froze, she couldn't move. He heart beating fast, her mouth dry. Then she felt it, anger, hatred, disgust, annoyance.

"what are you doing here!?" she asked eyebrows raised.

"Amy,.." The doctor stuttered.

"you'd better come in before Alex decides she's going to come back for round two. "The doctor wasn't really listening he was stunned at the fact she looked so beautiful. Amy was flustered. She couldn't decide whether to punch him or to kiss him.

" Amy. I'm sorry, I am. I cant apologize enough. I had to let you go, I was really scared. I wanted you to be safe and I attract trouble."

" got that right" She managed a smile.

"That's why I came back so soon, just come back with me."

"SOON! that's why I came back so SOON?!" Amy was angry again. "you call FIFTEEN years soon?!"

The doctor was stunned, fifteen years it cant be?

He put his hand on her shoulder.

"God I've missed you," she pulled the doctor in and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"come with me Pond" he gave her a slanted smile, that reminded her of her daughter.

"I cant.." she looked down.

"I said I'm sorry. I want us to be together, why are you acting up."

"I'm not, I just cant"

"why? Give me one good reason."

"I have a daughter!" she blurted.

The doctor was stunned into silence.

"the girl talking to Rory" he muttered.

The door banged open.

"Mum, forgot my custard, I've told you stop leaving the door-" The girl froze.

"Alex I thought I told you, school now!"

"not un till you tell me who he is!" she had a sparkle in her eye.
