A/N: I'll say something about the name at the end of this Part ;)

Part 2

Months had gone by since that day on the beach. She looked huge now, there were only a few days left till the birth and she still wasn't sure whether to be excited or scared or sad or what exactly.

Jackie had been very surprised when Rose had told her. Two babies in the family. And one part alien. Was that even possible, she'd asked. Rose had laughed. Her mother's only concern had been whether this was even possible, she'd not even asked about her and the Doctor. When Rose had mentioned it Jackie had simply said, "Well that's always been obvious, darling," and then she'd gone on about the risks, the circumstances and all.

"Are you sure you want to keep it?"

"Mum! How can you even ask that! Of course I'm sure. It's his child. It's our child. I'm not going to get rid of this child! It may not have been planned and the way things turned out now may not be the best, but it's my child and it's the only thing I have left of him."

Jackie had nodded, she knew better than to argue with her daughter about this. Now they were in the hospital, the intern Torchwood hospital of course. The doctors wanted to make sure that there would be no threat to mother, daughter or the world population for that matter. Rose wasn't worried she knew this child could never be a threat to anyone. At least not in the way those Torchwood people thought. If her daughter was going to be only a tiny bit like her father than yes, she might become a threat but only to those people or creatures that acted against a certain moral code.

But for now, Rose wasn't worried. The whole pregnancy had gone by without many problems. She didn't know for how long she'd be pregnant because the child she was carrying wasn't just human and might need more time but the Torchwood doctors were fairly certain that the baby developed just as fast as any other child. She'd had very bad morning sickness, eating attacks and that sort. Her mother had said that she'd never seen anyone with such distinct pregnancy symptoms. Rose thought that that must've been the difference between a human child and a time lord human child. She'd kicked pretty early though and pretty hard too. Rose had to stop working when she was six months pregnant. Walking had gotten very exhausting, lying too. But she'd managed and that's why she wasn't worried.

And then she went into labour. A few days early. Not that it mattered, she knew the date wasn't fixed but she had not expected this, the pain and the exhaustion and the pain again. She thought she'd had it all during the pregnancy but this was excruciating.

She had no idea how much time passed from the moment her labour started to the moment her daughter was finally born. She'd been in a sort of haze, lost in thoughts, dreams, and hopes of the Doctor joining them. She had hallucinations of him standing next to her, holding her hand although deep down she knew it was her mother. And then her girl was there.

From the moment Rose had found out that she was pregnant because she never got that road sick and because she was overdue and she'd peed on a stick (well, on more than one to be honest) the day before they arrived at the beach and it was positive, she'd known it'd be a girl. And she'd been right. Completely exhausted, out of breath and crying she was now holding her perfect little girl in her arms, looking into her brown eyes, seeing her father in them and crying some more. The baby's tiny hand wrapped around Rose's index finger, squeezing it. It already felt like a tiny version of the Doctor, she was already there for her, reassuring her with that squeeze that everything was going to be fine.

Rose had resumed work at the Torchwood institute soon after Clara's birth. From the moment her daughter had come into this world she'd been sure of one thing and that was to give Clara a real family. Or at least the possibility to get to know her father. She had never thought that she would actually manage it but the void had vanished, travelling through the universes suddenly wasn't that much of a problem anymore.

Sometimes Rose felt bad for what she was doing. She never took Clara with her, she left her with Jackie who already had her hands full with taking care of Tony. The boy was only slightly older than Clara and the two of them could get into really big rows. And Clara won all of them simply because her mind was so much more developed than Tony's already. She'd started talking rather late compared to her uncle and Rose had been worried and also surprised. But then, one day, it wasn't just a word that came out of Clara's mouth, it'd been a whole sentence. From one day to the other she'd spoken fluently and she rarely ever shut up. Having the father she had, Rose wasn't surprised by that but she could hardly keep up with her sometimes. The questions just never stopped and the girl had already started to pick up books and looking up things in them. Rose wasn't sure whether she was actually able to read it already or if she was "just" teaching herself to do so but it still gave her a headache every now and then. Mickey tried to help out as much as he could and Rose was so grateful for that and although she knew that somehow he still hoped that maybe one day he and her could get together again, she just appreciated him as a good friend and communicated that better than she used to back in their universe. He'd reached a rather high level at Torchwood and helped her out with her research as much as he could. Together they developed the dimension cannon, of course with the knowledge of some of the very best engineers of the country as well and now that the cannon worked Rose had only one goal in mind.

When the stars started to go out a few weeks later she knew that she wasn't just trying to find him for her and her daughter's sake anymore but for the sake of all the universes. Torchwood had managed to get into contact with other Torchwoods from other parallel universes and they all told the same story of darkness coming closer and closer.

She didn't yet know what she would do if she got to the right universe and found her Doctor again. She didn't yet know what she would tell him, if she would tell him at all. She just knew that she had to leave Clara with Jackie because the way it looked now, this wasn't going to be a quick trip, a possibility to go back to the universe she was born in but a rescue mission that could be dangerous. Very dangerous in fact.

When she got into work one morning, she found a memo on her desk. She quickly read it and then she was off, running through corridors, up some stairs, through other corridors again and found the door she wanted. She didn't knock, she just went straight in and Mickey almost jumped off his chair.

"Geez, Rose. What's the matter with you?" he asked.

"Is it true? The void. Is it gone?"

He slowly nodded in confirmation and Rose mirrored it, nodding slowly herself before she was off again once more, running down to the lab where the dimension cannon was waiting. Her team was ready for her, just like it always was and it worked. It was the first time that the cannon really worked. She got through to another universe because the void was gone. From that day on, she spent almost all her time in the lab, working with her team and the cannon. The first few tries were nothing. She always landed in the wrong universes. Some had already gone completely dark, others were still in the past and didn't yet know of the fate that was creeping in on them. Rose soon learned to be cautious, words could harm far too much, especially if they came from someone who didn't belong there. By travelling through different universes she got to know the Doctor even more than she had during her time travelling with him. She now understood why he went by "The Doctor" and not his real name. She'd asked him once, what it was but he'd said "I trust you, Rose Tyler, but my name in the wrong hands could destroy worlds and you could give it away unknowingly" and he'd left it at that. Now she did the same, she never revealed her name to anyone. Sometimes she got into situations where she couldn't just walk away and she helped but that was all. At the end of it she always came back to Pete's world, to her daughter. Clara was very curious and always asked her mother about what she'd seen. Rose had told Clara everything she'd known about the Doctor, she'd shown her pictures – the few she had left – she told her stories of her adventures with the Doctor and all that. Clara knew she wasn't all human, she'd understood that the moment she'd started talking.

"I'm different, aren't I, mum?" she'd asked during the first few days of being able to talk and Rose had nodded.

"But different is good?" the girl had asked on.

"Yes, sweetheart, it is" her mother answered and had kissed Clara on the cheek.

The child wanted to meet her father more than anything. Sometimes Rose wondered if it hadn't been better to lie to her, to tell her nothing about her father because Rose didn't know if she would ever find the right universe. Until one day, she entered the universe of Donna Noble. A woman she didn't know but Torchwood had somehow gotten very strong readings on her, they'd told her that this woman was the most important woman in the whole of creation and that she was travelling with the Doctor now. When Rose had first met Donna, she hadn't known anything about her and back then, Rose hadn't been able to stay in a universe for very long. Only later had she realised that it had been her universe. She'd managed to get messages through after that, only they ended up in televisions with no sound and she'd seen him, her Doctor, but he never saw her. And now she was in this other universe, one that felt right and still so wrong and she realised that in this universe Donna Noble never travelled with the Doctor and that the Doctor died.

Rose had seen enough things in her life with the Doctor and after the Doctor to spot curiosities immediately. And Donna Noble was one of them. Or rather the thing on her back that no one could see was one of them. Rose had gone back to her universe and started to figure out ways of revealing what needed to be revealed. Once she'd had some of the answers she'd returned, contacted UNIT and worked together with them. They had the TARDIS because the Doctor was dead and they'd found it and the moment Rose stepped into it again, she finally felt home agaon. Lonely still, but home nonetheless. And the TARDIS hummed at her in welcome. She remembered the Doctor's pink and yellow girl all too well and even though she was in a rather bad condition she was still able to welcome Rose Tyler. The next time Rose stepped into the TARDIS, she'd brought Clara with her. It was the first time she ever brought her daughter with her to work and she still wasn't sure about her decision. Travelling with the dimension cannon wasn't the most pleasurable thing but she wanted Clara to know about her father's home. And Clara didn't seem to mind at all, like she was born to be travelling.

Clara ran around the TARDIS like she'd always belonged there and she'd soon found Rose's old room, next to the Doctor's.

"MUM!" she'd screamed and Rose had run to her as fast as she could, worried sick like she always was.

"Look! He's kept it," Clara said and pointed to a door with a rose carved into it. "It is yours, isn't it?"

Rose nodded, slowly walking towards the door and pushing it open. It still looked the same, he hadn't changed anything. She could smell him in here and immediately knew that he spent a lot of time in her room. More than he probably wanted to and she felt tears sting in her eyes. Something tiny grabbed her hand and she closed her fingers around it, realising it was Clara's hand. It was comforting. She picked her daughter up, holding her close and showing her around. Together they walked through the TARDIS and the TARDIS opened every room for them because she somehow felt that this was not only Rose who returned but that the girl with her fully belonged here because she was a child of Gallifrey.

Okay, yes...I did choose to use Clara as the name... because when I first heard about the new companion for eleven I wanted her to be the Doctor's and Rose's daughter SO BADLY! So I made her their daughtter... You might see where this is headed because of it but don't worry, I'm not up for much angst in this fic ;)

I hope you still like it and THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the feedback I've already gotten!
