Chapter 2

RPOV

*SMACK!*

The new Doctor's hand flew to his cheek and I could see his skin turning pink between his fingers from my mum's slap.

"Ow, ow, ow! What have I done this time?" he said, rubbing his cheek.

"That's for what you haven't done. And this is for what you did do," she said, pulling him in for a hug.

"Very confused. I am very, very confused," he said as my mum hugged him. "Would you mind explaining, Jackie?"

"The slap was for Rose—you didn't give her a proper good bye and don't try to deny it. And the hug was to thank you for leaving John here for Rose," she explained after she pulled away.

"Yes, well, you're welcome," he said, still sounding confused. I glanced around the room quickly and I noticed a few people looking over, pointing at us and whispering to each other.

"Mum, people are staring at us," I said. She looked around at all the curious looking our way and sighed.

"Well go on then, shift. But don't think we're done, you," she said, pointing a finger at the new Doctor.

"Of course, Jackie," the Doctor said.

"Come on, let's get to the TARDIS, well, Rose's and my TARDIS," my Doctor said. We made our way the rest of the way upstairs and my Doctor and I lead the way to my old bedroom and opened the door.

"Oh, look at her! She's beautiful! How long did it take to grow her?" the Doctor said, striding across the room and running his hands over the wooden paneling of the young TARDIS my Doctor and I had worked so hard to grow.

"Just over two years and lots of love and care," my Doctor said as he unlocked the doors.

"Grow?" Rory asked.

"Yes, Rory, grow. You remember, that bubble universe. TARDIS's are alive, and they need to be grown. Normally they take thousands of years to mature," the Doctor explained.

"But thanks to our old friend Donna, the process was sped up dramatically. A very good thing, seeing as I've only got the one life," my Doctor said.

"Look at her! Oh, I do miss the coral," the new Doctor said when he stepped through the doors.

"Miss the coral? If you miss it, why'd you change the desktop?" my Doctor asked.

"Not really my choice. I had a bit of a crash landing after my regeneration; the TARDIS had to rebuild herself," the Doctor explained, leaning against the railing.

"While we're on the subject of regeneration, kind of related but not really, why did I disappear from existence?" my Doctor asked. "Wouldn't really be important if it was just me, but I've got Rose and Kenzie now so I'd rather not do it again."

"Sorry, that was me. The universe needed rebooting and the only way to do that was to erase myself from existence. I was never born, so you were never created. You must have been very confused, Rose," the Doctor said.

"'Course I was! I wake up one day with a daughter whose dad I couldn't remember and even the world around me feels wrong. Then later that day the Doctor—John—comes walking out of our bedroom and I remember everything. That's weird, even for us," I said.

"Yes, well, it couldn't be helped. I'll try and not do it again, then, shall I?" the Doctor said. "Now, this daughter you mentioned. Kenzie?"

"Mackenzie. She'll be four next month," I said, smiling as I thought about my little girl.

"Smartest little girl I've ever met. Takes after her brilliant mum," my Doctor said, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind and stealing a kiss.

"Oh, stop it. You know she get's it all from you," I said, playfully smacking one of his hands.

"Well… maybe a bit," he conceded with a smile.

"Good! Excellent! Married with a child, living your lives together. Just what I had hoped for you two," the Doctor said. He smiled at us, but it didn't quite reach his eyes.

"So what do you do, exactly? I mean, surely you don't go off on mad, dangerous adventures every day if you've got a kid?" Rory asked.

"We work for Pete at Torchwood. It's just like the mad adventures, but with more paperwork. I hate the paperwork," my Doctor said, making a face.

"Torchwood? You work at Torchwood?" the Doctor spluttered.

"I told you to help him, to make him better! And what do you do? Get him a job at a place where all they do is shoot first and ask questions later," he continued, directing his words at me.

"She has helped me! I haven't done anythingyou wouldn't have done! I'm the only man at Torchwood who doesn't carry a gun, thank you very much!" my Doctor said indignantly.

"Good, that's very good," the new Doctor said, looking rather placated.

"But enough about us! What have you been up to in your universe?" my Doctor said, eager to put the new Doctor's disapproval behind him.

"Oh, you know me! Running around time and space, saving people, fixing cracks in the universe, trying to figure out what the Silence want. Nothing unusual," the Doctor said.

"The Silence?" I asked.

"Yes, the Silence. They're a race of aliens who've been manipulating the human race since the beginning of human history. We've got no clue what they look like; they erase themselves from your memory as soon as you look away from them," the Doctor explained.

"They sound… difficult. Very difficult," my Doctor said.

"Believe me, they are."

"So how do you deal with them?" I asked.

"We tricked one of them into ordering the humans to kill them all on sight. Stuck it tin the middle of the footage of the moon landing. No one will ever know it's there but hopefully, it'll get the job done," the Doctor said.

"I wonder if they're in this universe. Really creepy thought, that," I said. Everybody fell silent for a few moments after that, all of us but the new Doctor fidgeting awkwardly.

"Well," the Doctor said suddenly, standing up and rubbing his hands together. "As nice as it has been catching up, I've got to go and check the TARDIS to see if I can get it running again. Amy, Rory, you stay here, I'll be back once I'm done."

"So we just stay here with a version of you who isn't you, in a parallel world while you pop off to the TARDIS? I don't think so, Raggedy Man, I'm stayin' with you!"

"No, no, you're staying here. John and Rose will take care of you two. I'd trust them with my life, the same as you and Rory," the Doctor replied as he opened the door of my Doctor's and my TARDIS. "I'll be back before you can say 'Where's he got to now?'"

"If you keep going down this hallway and take the back stairs, you won't have to go back through the party," I told him as he stepped out into my room.

"Yes, I defiantly think I'll do that. Thanks, Rose." And with that he closed the door, leaving my Doctor and me with his new companions.

I followed Rose's directions and then made my way across the manicured lawn to the TARDIS. I unlocked the door cautiously, and I was relieved not to be met with anymore smoke. The console room was still dark, as I expected, so I made my way carefully around the room to the stairs that lead to the underside of the console and settled myself in my swing to look for any sign of life.

"Ah ha!" I said, spotting a glowing power cell just off to my right. I quickly disconnected it and cradled it in my palm, letting its soft green light illuminate my face as I gave it my life energy.

"Oh, you little beauty! Always that little bit of hope," I said as I watched start it's recharging cycle. I pocketed it and left the TARDIS, locking the doors on my way out.

"I'll be back, old girl," I said, patting her side affectionately. I turned to make my way back into the house but before I could get very far, something came shooting out of the sky and made a small crater in the ground.

AN: Sorry it's been so long! It's my senior year, and things have been crazy with trying to look for colleges and keeping up with my schoolwork. I'll try and be better with updates from now on, though!
